THE COUNTY AUTHORSHIP.

| The people OF Ramsey county, irrespective
of party, are to be congratulated upon their
good fortune in securing so excellent an Off
cial as the present county auditor, S. Lee
Davis. His eminent ability for the place is
generally conceded, and he will receive, as he
deserves, very generous support from his
political opponents. The only argument
which his opponent adduces is that he has
held the position ten or twelve years. This
is untrue, though if it were otherwise it
would not be an objection to such an official.
MIR. Davis is now serving his second term at
the hands Of the people. In the latter part of
1873, he was chosen by the county commits
sioners to fill vacancy, and has twice been
elected by the people. That is sufficient
answer to the false report mentioned.
The county auditor holds not only'a posi-
ton of trust, but one in which experience is
the greatest desideratum. In many coun-
ties, we might say in most, this fact is ap-
preciated, and when competent auditors are
secured they are retained. In Goodhue and
Rice counties, for instance, the Republicans
have kept their auditors in Office for twelve
or fourteen years-possibly longer-and
those counties are rated throughout the State
as the best managed of any in Minnesota.
There are accounting Offices in which the
officials should be frequently changed, but
in this case the only object of change is to
give some hungry fellow berth. The pub
lie cannot afford to have their interests sac
rifced in any such a manner. Much credit
for the low rate of taxation which we are
now enjoying is due to Auditor Davis, who
an economical administration of affairs.
While his reelection is as certain as the sun
rise, he ought to receive an endorsement of
a rousing majority worthy an eminently
competent and faithful official.

IT has become the habit, after every ter

THE VAR CLOUD IN EUROPE.

Indications all point to another rupture
of the peace in Europe, and it may turn out
that instead of assuring a cessation of hos
tilities, toe Berlin congress simply gave the
nations a breathing spell to enable them to pre-
pare for still greater and more momentous
struggle. Whereas but Russia and Turkey
were involved in the late conflict, events of
recent occurrence have so involved other ma
tons that in case of another breach of the
peace the whole of Europe will inevitably
be embroiled. The part taken by England
in the Berlin congress will effectually pre-
clude the idea of her neutrality. This fact
has been recognized by her in prepar-
ing to take the field, her recent Mediterra-
mean and Asiatic acquisitions to form the
base of operations. France has compro-
missed herself by uniting with England for
the contr.l of Egypt; Austria has been made
a party to any future complications through
her occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina;
Italy has incurred the suspicion of Austria
through her action in regard to the Tyrol,
and Germany, by her guarantee to enforce
the provisions of the treaty, cannot refuse
the gauge of battle. Thus it will be seen
that if war again breaks out, all of the prin-
eipal nations of the continent must of neces-
sity take a part in it.
The chances of rupture of the peace
have of late been becoming greater and
greater. The neglect of Turkey to assist
Austria in her occupation of Bosnia has
been the subject of some sharp diplomatic
passages. Thes turbulence of Greece and
her demands for the rectifcation Of her,
frontier hsye stimulated and maintained

SIBERIAN has volunteered the information
that ''sfter resumption, national bank notes
will be redeemed, as heretofore, in United

the United States notes will remain after re-
sumption as before, and the circulating notes
of national banks are redeemable in United
States notes. Will he tell US, now, if he
proposes to have greenbacks enough in cir

of boarding them in the treasury, thus prac-

FITZ JOHN PORTER.

Gen. Jubal Early Gives Evidence Sustain
ing His Position in Reference to the Sec
ond Bull Run Fight.
New YORK, Oct. 12.-In the Fitz John Porter
case to-day Gen. Jubal Early, who commanded
a brigade in Stonewall Jackson's corps, testified
to events of the Goth of August, 1862. He said
his impression at the time was that Jackson's
operations were made with the design to mis-
lead Pope. On the night of the 9th jackson s
army was at and near Manassas and
witness was walked up by the noise of
the destruction of federal ammunition
Jackson's movement was the result of the cap
ture of federal dispatches. There was nothing
in the nature of a retreat by Jackson between
August 9th and 31st, nor was any such pur-
pose entertained.
At the conclusion of his examination Gen.
Early made statement outside of his evidence,
which he said was in justice to the memory of
Gems. Jackson and Gregg. The formers official
report contains an error of statement, which
was to be explained by the fact that it was writ
ten by staff officer who had not received a
military training.

According to the above statement the book
value of first series stock is $1l.24; the cash
value is $7.lS for 5000 paid in. The estimated
time Of expiration of the first series is 1O7
months. The book value of the second series
stock is $4.73; the cash value is 1917 for 49, OC
paid in.
During the last quarter SCI shares of the
first series and 80 shares of the second series
were redeemed, leaving 1921 shares of the
FIRST and 1861 shares Of the second series out
standing.
Loans have been made on first series stock,
secured by real estate, to the amount of 49,
900; on second series, $25,300 and five tenn
porary loans secured by stock Of the society to
the amount of 81, 23O.
The demand for money during the last quar-
ter was not active, and the funds of the So
ciety were used to redeem stock of the first
SERIES
The issue of semi-annual series of stock
will, no doubt, prove beneficial and make it
necessary to draw shares only when deemed
expedient. With the issue of the third series
this evening, applications for at least three
months receipts are already made, and doubt
not but the demand for loans will continue
brisk.
The first two years business Of the society as
appears from the statement has been satisfac-
tory and profitable. That it may continue is
the earnest wish of yours faithfully,

AlaSka'S Fisheries and Mines.

All the news we can gather of the
resources Of our heighboring terri
tory of Alaska, is Of the most en-
couragiug character. The prediction
that the productions of its mines and
fisheries, will in the near future, be
Of more value than its sea IS and otters
may seem to some ar.fetched, but
this faith we believe to be well
founded. The fishing companies
who have gone there find one thing
only to regret, viz, that they did not
go prepared to take more fish. One
company, we understand, i'll two
hauls of the seine, took as many fish
as they were prepared to can in the
entire season.
Our correspondents item regarding
the mines is based on personal
knowledge. Specimens of quartz
shown us are very rich, ard a little
capital, with the protec ton Of law,
will produce results seldom if ever
equaled. This points unquestion'
ably to a rapid growth, in the near
future, Of Alaska's population, and
consequent increasing Importance.

JUSTICE LONG POSTPONED.

Hon. O. Jacobs, Delegate from thi 5
Territory, has introduced bill in
Congress, granting to Major Granville
%. Haller an investigation, sr a trial,
Of the charges under which the latter
was summarily dismissed from the
u. S. army in July, 1868
For many years Major Haler has
been known to most of our readers
as a refined gentleman in the truest
and noblest sense of the word. resid.
ing at Coupeville, WILDLY Island,
and conducting business there. Re,
spected and honored by all who
knew him, he has filled offices of
trust and responsibility, always with
ability and modest dignity. He has
several terms been Grand Master OF
Masons of Washington Territory, and
often prominently mentioned as the
candidate of the Democratic party
for Delegate to Congress. Seeking
no position, he has quietly lived as
his soldier training taught him-to
do his duty.
We are not here to find fault with
Secretary Stanton for dismissing this
gallant officer without hearing and
without charges. The War Secre
tary no doubt believed the necessi
ties of war demanded such summary
action. But we do, as Republicans
and lovers of the fair and right
plead that he may have the privilege
of hearing, even at this late day;
and, if wrong has been done, that it
may be, as far as possible, righted
The suffering of sensitive minds un.
der great injustice can never be made
right, and Major Haller can never be
fully repaid for his unjust dismissal
We say UNJUST, because after more
than ten years acquaintance with this
officer, and a careful study of the
facts in his case, we do not hesitate
20 say it was grievous outrage
terrible injustice.
The charges for which he was dis,
missed have only lately been made
known to him and to US, and in the
most charitable view (being totally
uncorroborated, and in fact utterly
disproved.), they we're the imagin-
ings of a diseased mind in an un.
sound hody. their author ha iuct
before been discharged from an in
sane asylum.
We rejoice that Republican Del
egate has, unsolicited, introduced this
resolution of inquiry into Congress,
and trust it will meet the approval of
both House and Senate, and the full.
est justice possible, after such long
delay and suffering, he done to Ma.
jor Granville O. Haller-a true man
and good soldier.
