1t would seem as if the demand for Min
nesota lands would never end, and the history
OF their purch Sc in times past is entirely
surpassed by that of the current year. This
demand is most clearly presented by the
land sales of the various railroads, the grants
of which are going off at such rate as t,
leave little doubt of their entire exhaustion
in the very near future. Among these sales
may be adducel those of the st. Paul &
Pacific railroad. During the month of June,
the company sold SO, 423.19 acres for the sum
of 1916, 1885,, in addition to which
sixty-six town lots were sold for
$3, 1O1.75. For the half year closing
with the month just passed, the sales of the
same company were as follows: Acreage,
147,375.93, for 2S9,142.02; town lots, 269,
for $14,772.75. These figures represent the
lands disposed of on both the main and
branch lines. As matter of comparison
and as a means of demonstrating the ire
mendous influx of immigration that has
poured into Minnesota during the current
year, it may be stated that the land sales Of
the st. Paul & Pacific for the six months OF
|, 1873 now just expired more than double
those of the whole year of 1877. These
simple statistics speak volumes in themselves
and furnish an ample evidence to the outside
world that Minnesota is beyond a peradven
ture the most attractive and fourishing State
in the Union.

crop. BY personal examination of some in
this vicinity, it was found to be in much the
same condition, and the head has brown
appearance and when opened is found to be
Tiled with smut, while some is completely
covered. An old resident of this county and
farmer says the wheat crop will be as poor
as any year the grasshoppers were here, as
the rust and smut will affect the whole crop.
Faribault Democrat, July 10: The dam
age to the wheat crop in Rice county, al
though serious, is by no means as bad as
reported. The wet, hot weather, coming as
it did at the most critical time, has had its
effect, and blasted and shrunken kernels are
sufficiently numerous to reduce the crop
value fully one-half from what it would
have been with favorable weather. Fields
of wheat which look promising from a
distance will be found, upon close examine
ton to be sadly injured. Early sowed
wheat, on new breaking, will come out the
best unless lodged fat. Late sowed wheat,
unless dry harvest follows, will hardly be
worth the cutting. Farmers with twenty
five years experience in this State tell US
that they have never known such an unfa-
vorable spell of weather at this season. Corn
is doing fine, and oats promise first rate.
Hokah Blade, July 20: The prospects of
two weeks ago for a great grain crop seems
to be growing poor daily. The late numer-
GUS rains and oppressive heat of the past ten
days have done vast amount of damage to
the crops, and if have continuance of the
same it will almost ruin it entirely. A cor

There will be a campaign made against the

will, and if he should be elected it will be

how he has managed, almost single-handed,

The st. Paul Library association claims to
be moral and reputable organization, but in
bringing Henry Ward Beecher to this city
it does an immoral and disreputable act. It
is sad commentary on the church and NOR
atty generally when library associations
will employ such man, and when people
who profess Christianity will flock to hear
him. His appearance as moral teacher is
a,shamefaced insult to decency. He is the
monumental hypocrite of the age, and we
wonder that the Providence which is sup
posed to regulate mundane affairs does not
palsy his tongue and forever seal the lips
which, though giving utterance to eloquent
phrases, are never opened without stamping
its owner as living constant lie.

FITz JOIN PORTER.

The evidence in the case of Gen. Fitz John
Porter, given by his prin cipai accuser at, the
former trial at Saturdays sitting of the
court at West Point, is sufficient of itself to
acquit him. of the charges for which he was
cashiered in 1862. That witness now swears
that his evidence at the former trial was
given while he was strongly prejudiced
against Gen. Porter, and also under mis-
conception of the facts. He now agrees
with Gen. Ruggles and other witnesses that
Porter could not have received the order to
attack the enemy in time to obey it before
darkness had set in. He could not, there
fore, be charged with disobedience of orders.
The charge of cowardice IN the face of the
enemy is based upon the same set of facts.
If the proof that Pope's order was not re-
ceived till too late for an attack, already
submitted, is uncontradicted, both of the
accusations must fall to the ground, and
Gen Porter will stand fully acquitted before
the world.
Gen. ,Porters has been an uncommonly
hard fate. Accused in the heat of partisan
death by the rules of war, he was convicted
by court-martial composed of his personal
enemies who were jealous of his success.
The testimony against him was insufficient
in positiveness, and, as has been proved,
perjured or biased by malice. He has been
| obliged to submit to the disgrace entailed by
the verdict for nearly sixteen years. Al
though he has been persistent in bis efforts
to have the case reopened, the jealousy
and malice of his enemies have
thwarted him at every step. His loss
of social position has no doubt been doubly
CALLING to SO high-spirited man from the
fact that he knew his punish rent was unde-
served, and his success in finally proving the
falsity of the imputatiens upon his character
will be correspondingly gratifying.
A reversal of the judgment of the court
martial which convicted him in 1862 appt ar
to be the only verdict that can be rendered
by the sitting tribunal. The facts warrant a
full and thorough vindication of the accused,
and in view of his past unjust punishment
such vindication cannot be too broad. The
verdict will not only remove the stain that
has for SO long rested upon the reputation OF
a gallant and patriotic officer, but it will re.
store him to his rank in the army and en-
title him to arrearages of pay. The latter
consideration, However, has but little weight
we are sure, with Gen. Porter. The vindi
cation of his character is all he has sought
and though tardy, we are convinced that the
whole country will rejoice if it shall prove as
complete as now seeIns probable.

THE REVOLT IN ITALY.

Italy is determined to kick up muss in
Europe-is spelling for a fight with Austria.
Her grievance has already been adverted to
in these columns. Her plenipotentiaries at
the congress let slip golden opportunity to
secure the retrocession of the Iyroi, now
owing allegiance to Austria, as a compensa-
ton for the occupation of Bosnia and Herze-
govina 1t was a pet scheme with the great
mass of the people, more especially the revo-
lutionary Garibaldians, who have. it would
seem, undertaken the management of the
disturbances. Menatti Garibaldi presided
at meeting held at Rome on Sunday, at
which there was large attendance of Demo
Gratis. The elder Garibaldi sought to inhame
the people to revolt by sending dispatch
which was received with great acclaim.
''Enslaved people" he exclaimed, "hs We the
right to revolt. Men of Trieste, take to the
mountains The meeting adopted resolu-
tons condemning the violation by the con
gress of Berlin of the principle of nation
alities and popular sovereignty, affirming the
solidarity of the Italians with people bought
and sold by the congress. reminding Italy
that alien countries were still subject to
foreign domination, and looking for speedy
justice.
AS long as these agitators confne their
demonstrations to protests and peaceful as
semblages no harm can come, but whenever
they attempt to carry thu ir threats into exc
cution they will realize the truth of the hint
given them by the Vienna journals that ssit
is dangerous to play with fire." Austria
might have been willing to surrender
the South Tyrol to Italy, if her claim
had been presented to the congress in due
form and in proper season, but she will not
consent to having it wrested from her by
force of arms 1t is not probable that the
government of Italy will adopt the cause OF
the insurgent agitators unless it should as.
sumo unlooked-fo proportions, for it is rea
sonable to suppose that her representatives
either did not care to lay claim to the terri
tory in dispute, or recognized the fact tina
she had no equitable claim upon it. Th,
revolt will, therefore, in all probability, b,
purely local, and while the insurgents may
if they follow Garibaldi's advice and take tx
the mountains, cause considerable annoy
ance, their subjugation will be only matte
of time, for both Italy and Austria will b.
bound to overthrow them.
There does not appear to be suficien
cause for revolt in the Tyrol, and it is doubt
, full if the inhabitants in any considerabl
numbers are in sympathy with the agitator
) who SO valianl champion their cause. Tn
Austrian government, to which they owe al
legiance, is fully as liberal and tolerant to

The New York Sun has discovered another
man in buckram against whom to turn its

a barnacle, would, we are convinced, be as
much surprised as anybody else in the

policy to bring out every probable candidate

even the possibility of future trouble.
