LETTER FROM CHEST.
October 25th, 1880.

October 25th, 1880,
EDlToR REPUBLICAN - Abont two
weeks ago, while busily engaged in
discharging the duties pertaining to a
farmer, there came a man named Wal.
ter, a colporiour, and said he was from
your borough. He, as II matter of
course, was asked TO stay and dine, as
IL was near dinner time, and enjoy the
hospitality OF my house, which was be-
ing prepared for us. In his remarks
he spoke Of our estimable Senator Wal
lace as one who was only mere tool
for the Railroad Companies, and went
on TO produce arguments to prove his
assertion; but not sufficient, by any
means, To convince me Of his being
right.
Now, kind reader, not being much
of ascholar, lproduced such arguments
to him as would satisfy any rational
being, and IN return he could not pro-
duce sufficient arguments to rcbut my
thinnest or weakest point; and | claim
to be, or | have always been, friend
of our worthy Senator, VIM. A. Wal.
lace. He (thc colporteur) was very
much out of his place, and was GER
tainly wrong; and my assertion as to
the respectability OF our Senator was
entirely too much for him, and ] con.
slider him false and an extCrtioner-a
man who is not well posted upon mat
ters of the day. Now, would like to
hear from him upon the character OF
our worthy Senator through the col.
umns of your paper Not wishing TO
tire my kind readers | close, hoping TO
hear from him very soon upon the
question, and, if necessary, respond to
our friend and Senator, Wallace, lam,
with much respect, your dear friend
and ardent Democrat.

IL Will Ds observed Dy these ngures that
the Democrats have decided majority in
six of the districts, while the Republican
majorities liz all the remaining Republican
districts, save two, are very small, and if
there proves to have been any movement at
all towards the Demonstration apparent
Iy trustworthy reports indicate that there
has been-we can reasonably hope to carry
the Seventh, Eighth, Eleventh and Thir-
tenth districts besides the ones that now
show Democratic majorities. In the close
districts the Democratic candidates are all
popular men, who have been working early
and late for success. The public will be
very much disappointed if they do not sue
coed.
The Republican papers of Indiana are al
leging that the Democratic managers are re-
sorting to fraud and intimidation to prevent
full and free vote. The only means adopt
I'd have been to take measures to arrest and
punish the negroes and repeaters who have
been imported into the State by the Repub-
loans for the purpose of aiding their cause
If this is fraud or intimidation the Rspubli-
cans may make the most of it, but rest as
sured the program me will be carried out.

from the award of the commissioners in the
condemnation matter of the Chicago, St..
Paul & Minneapolis railway company in the
county of Ramsey: James Stimson, appellant
We. The Chicago, st. Paul & Minneapolis rail
way company, respondent.
Syllabus-Upon jury trial upon land
owners appeal to the district conrt from an
award of commissioners in proceedings for the
appellant called witness who testified to sales
of other lands by him from time to
time in the vicinity of the land sought to
be condemned, and also gave testimony
with reference to the similarity of situation
and character of the lands 80 sold to the land
sought to be condemned.
Held that evidence of the prices obtained
for the lots 30 sold by the witness and of the
average price obtsined for the lots SO sold was
incompetent and inadmissable.
Held, further, that even if ouch evidence
could have been competent and admissible,
if proper foundation had been laid, the court,
in the exercise of a sound discretion, might
properly have excluded it in this case upon
the ground that sufficient similarity of
character and situation between the land sold
and those sought to be condemned had been
| shown, and upon the further ground of the re.
| moteness of most of the sales from the time OF
filing the commissioners award.
Held, further, that the proper inquiry upor
the point of value is what is the value of the
land (sOught to be cOndemned) for any pur
pose, and not what is its value for railroad
purposes.
Order denying new trial affirmed.

Yesterday morning, Mr.. James Morrison, pur-

in very severe and painful injury, which will
doubtless confne him to the house for several
days. At the time of the accident he was in

the floor near the Office entrance, for the pur-
pose of putting in a stairway to the cellar be-
low. Being unaware of the existence of the
opening. and not seeing it in the semi-dark-
ness at that corner, Mr.. Morrison stepped over
the edge and fell q distance of about eight feet
into the cellar. He was stunned by the shock
and badly shaken, besides receiving some severe
Commissions.
DR.. hagen was hastily called, and did all
that was possible for MIR. Morrlson's relief,
after which he was taken home. The injured
gentlemen has hosts of friends wherever he is
known who will be panied to hear of his
mishap, and who will be anxious to hear of his
full restoration to sound bodily vigor again.

able. He wore blne flannel shirt, relieved at
the neck by silk scarf, dark coat and light pam
falcons Save the nervous twitching of his
fingers which twirled his hat, there was no ap.
parant sign of any extraordinary concern.
The court enquIred If he had an attorney,

MIR. Egan read the complaint, charging the
defendant with an assault with intent to muir

the assault was In a precarious condition, and,
in view of his probable death, MIR. Egan asked
for continuance and that defendant be conn
mitted to abide the result of the wound. The
court fixed the bail at 81 $780, which, by request
of the county attorney, was raised to %. 5O0, in
default of which defendant went to Jail.

IT has been freely alleged by Republican
newspapers that the census of South Caro-
lima and the Southern States had been gross
~ falsifed for the purpose of maintaining
the Congressional representation in that Sec
tion. Superintendent Walker, however,
after full investigation, has declared that
the charges are absolutely without foun-
dation, for the census returns are as nearly
correct as it was possible for them to be
made. Probably if Gen. Walker would
turn his attention to Minneapolis that strong
hold would be proved to be less immaculate
than the rebel South.

Some very interesting contributions were re-
ceived; among these was noticed a singular
stone, sent by Mr.. B. M. Randall, of St. Peter,
who secured it in the belief that it was an
Indian implement. 1t is circular in shape,
about six inches in diameter. and an inch
thick, and shows marks of wear and use.
The most reasonable conclusion arrived at was,
that the stone was natural and not arti-
fetal, but had been found and kept by the
aborigines a wakau, a sacred object, on &C.
count of its peculiar shape.
