The Minneapolis Disaster-Ac'
tiOu Of flie ROnrti OF Trade.

MrSNEAroLls, May 6.-The following
resolutions were adopted by the Board o!
Trade to-day:
]. That 10 view Of the late terrific cal
amity in the destruction Of our mills
and the consequent loss Of life, the Min.
neapolis Board Of Trade expresses its
deep sympathy with the sorrowing rela'
tives OF those who were 80 instantaneous.
ly hurled into eternity.
2. With those whose property, accu.
mulated by business talent and industry,
has been so fearfully destroyed.
8. With our community, which has
thus temporarily lost so large a portion
OF those famous mills, alike its
power and pride; we recommend
10 our citizens liberal contributions
for aid to the widows and orphans who
have by this terrible accident lost their
husbands, fathers and only support.
4. That loss to the business interest of
our city ,s24O, ,000, will be Of short duration,
and we have reason to congratulate our
selves upon the we'll grounded assuran-
ces that the mills will be rebuilt as
speedy as labor can do il, and in char.
acter as TO size and efficiency surprising
those which have just been annihilated.
5.That we can't too highly commend the
pluck OF our mill owners whom no
catastrophy seems to daunt, no disaster 10
appall, but who with the same energy that
had secured to themselves and the world
market, are already commencing the
construction OF the new mills amid the
still smoking ashes Of the old.
siLLsFARcHIsG THE RUINS.
MIssEAPoLIs, May G.-The work Of
excavaling the ruins Of the burned mills
continues. The body Of VIM. Leslie was
recovered this afternoon in the basement
OF the Washburn Mill, making the sixth
victim whose remains have been identi.
fed. Both arms and one leg were burned
of. The inquest will not be held until
all the bodies are recovered. Measures
Of relief for the families Of the victims
are actively organizing.

Mr.. Hill, In his rhodomontade, attempts
to bclittle the Presidents Southern policy
by saying 1t was a necessity of the
situation" The country at large has
never rs yet been able to discover that
necessity or the wisdom of its adoption.
There was no more absolute necessity for
submitting to that than TO any other de-
mand made upon the nation by its would-be
destroyers for a REIMBURSEMENT of the guar
antecs ofthe Constitution relating TO citi-
zenship and suffrage aud surrender of the
Republican party and its interests over 10
the tender mercics of the worst enemies
it has ever had In the century of its
history, without any protection from the
Federal arm, This, in the eye of Mr.. Hill,
is matter Of insignificant importance, for
it gave vitality and power to the Democratic
side, when compared with the refusal of the
President to surrender the Federal patron

The pettifogging Of Mr.. Hill. over the
question of fraud in regard to the election
of President HAYES, and his G,r-ictchcd
comparisons, in which J. WILKES BooTn
and Mrs. SCRRATr are introduced as char
nCters in the tragedy of LrSCoLNs asslssi-
nation, with an effort to make them Npplica-
bic to the present era, is entirely unhecJm-
ing " man Of cundor or ordinary common
sense. Ills positions on this question arc
illogical, untenablo, and ridiculous, and
would never have been uttered except by
one who is cnzcd by bitter disappointment
and uncomfortable rage, and is not really
responsible for his uttcrances. Mr.. HILL
has added nothing to his intellectual, his

AND now the Philadelphia 7f'0graph loses
its balance in discussing the PORTER Court
of Inquiry. II assumes that the West Point
influence, from which the witnesses before
the court were freed by its adjournment to
New York, was naturally on the side Of
right and justice, which is q mistaken as
sumption in this instance. The truth is
that MCCLELLAN was, and is yet, one Of the
idols of West Point, and he is on trial now
almost as directly us his friend and deluded
follower, PORTER. The MCCLELLAN innu-
cnce was cxrrtcd in PoRTER's behalf at the
original trial, and the newspapers were filed
with misstatemcnts of the evidence then
the same as they are now. This fact, added
to the further one that every West Pointer
in the country is anxious TO have the stigma
Of traitor removed from the name aud fame
of PORTER one of the most prominent
graduates Of the Academy, is sufficient to
explain and justify the wisdom Of removing
the court to New York. As to the testimony
taken or submitted by the Government
there can be no doubt that in the end it will
more than sustain the findings Of the Origi-
nal court.
