THE HIGH OLD COURT.

impeachment must 60 on now, and Sher-
man Page be removed from Office or acquitted.
The labor before the high old impeachment
court, is by no means uncomfortable, and
we would charitably suggest that the Senate
dispose of all pending business, and clear
the decks for the solemn, serious work before
it. This work consists in hearing all the
testimony, or at least in revising it, and the
arguments for and against the ac-
cused. This will necessarily require
much time and labor. OF course the House
managers will have to present the case, and
the attorneys for 'sthe present Mr.. Page
meet the charges. Several of the managers
are themselves lawyers, somewhat, it is true,
averse to public speaking, but it is not i'm
probable that, on this momentous occasion,
they may overcome their native modesty and
indulge in few remarks.
And then, if we mistake not,
"the present Mr.. Page has one
or two lawyers who sometimes
talk when requested, and who during the
preliminary examination of the 'spresent
MIR. Page" used, it is fair to say, as many
words as arguments in defense of "the pres
ent Mr.. Page"
It is possible that one or two members of
the court-which is the Senate-may desire
to make speech or two. Taking it alto
gether, we are promised an entertainment,
the duration of which, s'no fellah can now
possibly find OUT" but in the interest of the
judicial dignity and the general welfare, we
hope that the final result may be reached be-
fore the next general election.

With Reference to the Ne,c City Charter.
At the last meeting of the Workingmens'
Union, the members Of the society numbering
1900, unanimously passed the following reso-
lutions
WHEREAS, The House of Representatives on
the 18th day of March, 1873, passed bill radi-
cally changing the charter of the city of Min
neapolis !; and
WHEREAS, 1t is provided in said charter that
an additional indebtedness Of fifty thousand
dollars be imposed upon the already over
burdened taxpayers against their strong and
almost unanimous protest and
WHEREAS, 1t has been the rule to submit any
measure whereby debt was created, which the
people had to pay, to q vote of the people;
therefore sesolocd, That we condemn the ac-
ton of the House in refusing to adopt the
amendment presented by Hon. F. L. Morse of
this city, pro viding for such submission to the
people.
lPesotved, That we most respectfully petition
the Senate to attach such an amendment as the
House in its arrogance voted down.
Resolued, That we respectfully petition his
excellency, Gov. j. s. Pillsbury, in behalf of
the oppressed taxpayers, and UNEMPLOYED
workingmen of this city, that he interpose his
authority to prevent that unnecessary and OBJ
presslve measure, from becoming a law.
It might be well to add that the above reso-
lutions also express the sentiments of number
OF citizens outside of the workingmens union

question here arose to the result. The
trends OF the bill claimed that Mr.. Sanborn
had voted and had not been recorded. Mr.
Sanborn, on being appealed to, stated he had
not voted until after the announcement Of the
vote. The speaker stated his Willingness to do
impartial justice, and that if any precedent
could be named by which he could receive Mr.
Sanborn's VOTE he would do it. and further,
that If any gentleman would state he had been
improperly recorded, had voted without
being recorded, he would have the omission
rectlfed. In the mean time he would put off
the matter to o'clock, to give gentlemen the
opportunity to hunt up presidents.
At this point scene of great confusion en-
sued. Mr.. Campbell of Wabashaw, stated the
Senate was waiting for the impeachment man
ayers and asked to submit resolution.
MIR. Hyland moved to reconsider when it was
found he had voted in the negative.
MIR. Giles then moved to reconsider, when
Mr.. Morse made the point of order that as the
House was acting under the previous question,
1t must proceed to vote on the bill as amended
The speaker declared the point we'll taken
and as soon as order was restored the roll was
called and the bill passed as amended by 70
yeas to % nays
Before announcing the above vote, the chair
said that he had suggested that motion to re-
| consider could be made on the House amend
ment, overlooking the fact that they were act

now say that motion to reconsider would be

question on the motion to reconsider the vote

Mr.. Hicks said he was opposed to this bill.
He thought if it passed it would be one
of the greatest Affections ever WIS.,
tied upon the State but he did
not want to take any unfair advantage. If the
friends of the bill thought they had not had
fair vote on the Morse amendment he would
move to reconsider the vote by which that
amendment was adopted.
Upon the roll being called the Morse amend
ment which half an hour previous had been
adopted was rejected by yeas 81 to nays 81, as

Consider 1t on its Merits.
Faribault Republican,


The matter should be considered irres pee
tive OF the merits or dement's of the Merrill
bill. If that measure embodies principle
that may form very dangerous precedent
Tor future legislation, or is impracticable or
visionary in it's details, the fact that any in
terest, from purely selfish purposes. has
sought to defeat it, ought not in the slightest
degree to influence votes in its favor. It ia
not very uncommon device of shrewd lob
bylsts to endeayor to attach faint of cor
ruption to measure which they are secretly
sndeayoring to defeat, that they NAV thus
secure the votes of honest but easily pref
udiced men against it, and this fact should
serve to induce legislators to regard measures
upon their merits, looking beyond the selfish
influences that may be Immediately inter
ested to insure their success or defeat. There
are many in the State who are actuated by
the purest and most disinterested motives in
opposing the Merrill text book bill, as there
are likewise many who believe it the wisest
measure that can be adopted. Their opin-
ions are formed irrespective of the machina-
tons of book publishers agents, or the
strikers of the Merrill ring; and they have
a common interest in insisting upon the pun
ishment of bribery in whatever cause it NAV
become apparent.

COOP ADTICE NEEDED.


The most animated contest of the Iegis-
lative session took place in the House yester-
day over the Merrill-Appleton text book bill.
The good advice Of the GLOBE to the House
to STICK for local option prevailed at last,
and the Senate amendment put
ting the law in effect for five years
before vote is taken was rejected,
and the Feller amendment adhered to. Both
Houses have now appointed conference COM
mittees and these committees will meet at
nine o'clock this morning to endeavor to
como to an agreement.
The proposition to submit the question to
the people is so manifestly just, that we do
not see how any agreement can be reached
which does not embrace that idea.

TIE CONTROEERsY ENDED.

THE CONTROVERSY ENDED.
The compromise between the st. Paul &
Pacific interest and De Graft & Co., which
was mentioned in yesterdays GLOBE as in
progress, was finally concluded yesterday.
De Graft & Co. receive certain sum from
the first sales of lands, and the Legislature
lien is lifted from the grant. In accordance
with this agreement Senator Nelson's bill
passed the Senate yesterday and is now on
its third reading in the House.
Representative Rice's bill has been with
drawn or abandoned, and Senator Nelson's
bill will probably pass the House to day with
little or no opposition.
We congratulate both parties to the con-
troversy, and we particularly congratulate
the people of Northern Minnesota and the
State at large on this suspicious termination
of the affair, a termination which we have
the utmost confidence will give Minnesota
during 1873, connection with the Canada
Pacific, and the extension at least to Alex
andria.

Plus TX AND LEO XIII.

Pope Leo XIII is already being severely
criticised in certain quarters. It is gener-
ally conceded that the Pope is a learned
man and distinguished Ecclesiastic, and it
is altogether probable that he understands
the duties and feels the responsibilities of
his high Office far better and far more deeply
than his critics. More than three hundred
and fifty millions of people, bearing
the Christian name, acknowledge him their
Supreme Pontiff. All, or nearly all, of this
vast multitude bow before him as the visible
head of the spiritual church on earth, but
they recognize the States of the church as
necessary to the independents of the Spirit
ual Ruler of so many people.
We are not about to discuss this often
nooted question. But from a Democratic
standpoint, we are at loss to con-
ceive why the people of the United
States should be asked to sympathize with
the dynasty of Victor Emanuel, or the
ignorant. and bigoted Humbert, his son,
rather than with learned and refined
ecclesiastic whose religion, in the equality of
the face of the earth. The cry of Italian
unity and Italian liberty, so far, has fastened
the royalist throne of Sardinia on the hills
of Rome, and given to Garibaldi, an oriental
Seraglio on the island of Caprera. What
else has all the italian deluge of sentiment
accomplished? All liberty loving people
naturally sympathize, but is Italy greater
or more free to-day than when Gregory held
in his hands the thunderbolts, or Leo waived
the olive branch of history?
Ecclesiastical matters are not exactly in
our line, but the comparisons, being insti-
tuted between Plus TX and Leo XIII seem to
be unjust and uncalled for. It might.
however, fill out the3 measure of the best
mans hopes, to die after 50 many years of
public life, so much beloved and respected by
mankind as Plus TX. BE has been accused
of a want of liberalism. The word liberal
ism, when applied to church matters, OF
rather to Gods laws, is one of doubtful i'm
port. All churches, so far as we know. and
we confess to limited attainments, are yery
strict in the observance of their peculiar
tenets, ana exactng IN their requirements.
We are not aware that the Catholic church
differs. Still it is unquestionable, that in
1S4S Plus TX had to resist the waves of reyo-
luton, threatening not only to bury his
Italian church states, but to make ship
wreck of religion. He then assumed to
speak, not only as prince, but as the SUI
preme pontif, and the church threw aside
all compromises with temporal matters to
declare the unchanging and unchange-
able truths of God. This was
the position of Plus TX, and
renamed SO until the day of his death. Let

not theological opinions.

tant mass meeting ever assembled in New
York greeted him across the ocean with their
sympathies; it is very surprising, we repeat,
that now when Leo XIII. refuses to leave

Municipal Court.

Municipal Court.
The only criminal case before the municipal
court yesterday was that of VIM Pavitt, ar
rested upon second warrant charging him
with inhuman treatment of Freddie Bondurant,
an adopted boy.
The case is one of particular inter-
est, and the court room was
crowded with persons who wished to not only
see the inhuman wretch but to hear what he
had to say for himself.
William Rom testified to Pavitt, telling him
he had given the boy terrible beating.
Freddie Albert Bondurant testified, as to beat
ings with board, poker, stick Of maple wood,
etc. Benjamin Woodwork heard blows as he
passed the house on the 14th. VIM. Chapman
had conversation with Pavitt on the 18th,
when he acknowledged to whipping the boy
and said he would have killed him had he not
have been interfered with. Bishop Johns de-
tailed the terrible condition of the boy body
father of the boy, detailed the circumstances
under which he placed him at Pavitt's short
time ago, and the marked difference
in his looks and actions now.
The State rested, and VIM. Pavitt was put on
the stand in his own defense. He denied any
18th for boyish misdemeanor; used small
willow switch. quite moderately; never used
piece of board or iron on the boy: a COW ran
over the boy, once but didn't appear to hurt
him.
Mary Pavitt, with of defendant, testified that
she whipped her little girl on the l4th; Freddie
wasn't whipped on that day, but was on the
next, with q willow switch the same switch
witness had used on her three-years old; Pavitt
did no swearing on the 18th, he did on the
18th; no board or iron rod used on the 18th or
18th.
The testimony of Mr.. Pavitt evidently
weakened his own case, and after the summing
up hne Of $50 and costs was imposed in lieu
| of which Mr.. Pavitt went to jail for 80 DAYS.
Other warrants await the expiration of his
term, and it is to be hoped that the State will
make a little hell on earth for the indecent
and unhuman brute before it gets through with
him.
