In 1853 THE PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA, hav-
ing no means Of communication with "all the
rest of the world and the balance of man
kind" adopted an amendment to the con-
stitution of the State authorizing the loan
of $5,0OO,00O worth of the States bonds to
aid in the construction of railroads. The
roads were built, and Immediately there
after, in 1860, the people of Minnesota
adopted another amendment to the consti-
tuition, forbdding the payment of these
bonds, or any provision by any future Legis-
laturo for the payment of the interest or
principal of any of these bonds, except by a
vote of the people of the State. In 1880
's1, the Legislature passed an act creating
special court, which should have power
to decide upon the validity of the
bonds the States liability, and the manner,
If any, Of payment. In the meantime case
had been made, and was progressing in the
supreme court of the State to test in that
tribunal the rights Of the bondholders.
That case has just been decided, and the
Minnesota rcpudiators have come to grief
The court decided in substance that the
constitutional amendment of 1860 was in
valid, because it conficted with that ar.
ticle of the Constitution of the United
which forbids any legislation impairing the
obligation of contracts, and that this did
impair the obligation by changing the man
ncr of settlement from the Legislature tt
the people. 1t also decided that the cour
created by the last Legislature was uncon
stitutional, because it delegated powers tina
were delegated to it, which it could not do
being compelled to perform these act
| itself.
Thus the repudiators have been beatei
in their own courts. The Judiciary of Min
nesota has proven that il is not touche,
with the infamy Of reputation that taint
all the other departments of the State gov
= ernment, and that all honesty has not fle
from the State. Reputation from an
quarter is disgraceful, and it is most par
' ticularly disgraceful when it comes from
State like Minnesota, amply able to NEE
all its obligations. There might be a fee
, ing of pity-not justification, for one of tn
u poor States of the South, overrun an
destroyed by armies Of friends and foes, an
l. then harricd and robbed for years by tarpe
: baggers, should it be forced to repudiat
l but there is none for Minnesota. The Stat
is rich and prosperous-the people arc
. the same condition. For years past the
). have raised splendid crops and obtainC
). good prices for them, and there
" no excuse for reputation except shee
: downright, damnable dishonesty. Ever
a honest hand in the country should be flu
= nished with IL whip of scorpion strings

ID "nalxed through the land" There is !

IT rs AN INDIVIDUAL and domestic loss
upon the heart of the nation.
At the sound of the assassin's pistol the
veil of folly and extravaganza that was OBJ
scuring our vision was torn away, and the
startled people, compelled to pause, bchcld
as in u spectacle, upliftcd for their admoni.
ton, the story of man divcsted of all the
garish surroundings imposed by our mod
ern official inventions. Politics and
fashion, the rulers of the hour, stood amid
their worshipers, abashed and ashamed, rs
rank and wealth fell for the time into their
due subordination as mere accidental ad-
juncts to the true life of humanity.
The vision upon which we were forced to
gaze with eyes washed clear by tears and
hearts touched to conviction was the
hcavon-appointed life of every man, rich
and poor, wise and foolish in the domestic
relations of the family.
A national representative was the sufferer,
and the nation demanded its place by the
bedside with jealous affection almost In
dccorous in its obtrusivcncss but, rs if to
complete into absolute realism the repre-
sentative function of the dying President
the household thus laid bare to the public
exhibited, by the blessing of God, that ideal
life wherein noble manhood and noble
womanhood, linked in marriage, rejoice in
the sympathetic fellowship of heart and
mind, while the cycle of human bliss il
made perfect by the children that bless the
union.
| In the solemn stiffness of the hours oi
morning, as we look backward over the
twice forty days of trial, in which his suf
fering and our suspense has lifted the
whole Nation into higher range of thought
and feeling, we can but recognize that {
modern miracle has been wrought for the
Nations benefit, and that we have beer
taught anew the sacredness of domestic tie.
and the value of the heroic virtues.
Each individual has conned the lessor
during the slow hours Of torture and tn,
high courage by which the victim main
tanned his own composure, supporting ant
being supported by the reciprocitics of fam
lily affection, must have burned into tn
most needless heart the conviction of TIL
sterling worth of the domestic virtues.
Another vision had arisen with on
growing hopes, as we fondly dreamed tina
health aud strength was returning to tn
hand now cold, but not powerless in deatl
The Imagination of the patriot had painte
in ecstatic vision happy future spreadin
in ideal lovelincss beneath the guidance
the arisen martyr, who, strengthened wit
the reverence and love of All entire natioi
could weld delegated power for the hea
ing of all sectional disputes, and the RI
moval of all party differences. This to
bright vision has faded away, and we stan
with bowed heads about coffin. But tn
memory of that beautiful possibility one
beaming with glowing light upon the ski'
of the future will prevent many an angr
word and stay many hasty hand.

In AN INTERVIEW YESTERDAY with
Solicitor. General Phillips, relative to the
legal formaltcs necessary to be observed
as prcliminaries to the prosecution of Gui-
teau, the District-Attorney is said to have
intimatcd that among the defcnses likely
to be set up by the assassin's counsel might
be an allegation that the Presidents death
was due to malpractice; and that on this
account It would be advisable to have the
actual operation of autopsy performed by
some surgeon or surgeons not professionally
connected with the case. 1t appears now
that there was some cause for this caution.
The autopsy disclosed remarkable fact.
Six eminent surgeons had, for over two
months, agreed that long and tortuous
channel formed by burrowing suppuration
was " the track of the ball !" and latterly
they had reached the sage conclusion that
the missile was safely cncystod, near the
inner surface of the ilium, ut the bottom Of
this cavity.
But the autopsy showed that the actual
track of the ball ran very nearly at right
angle to the direction of this cavity, and
that the ball lay cncysted against the on
velope of the gland called the paucreas-
which, for the information Of the non-pro
fessional public, we may say answers in the
human structure to the "swcet brcad' il
animals.
That is to say the eminent surgeons ap
pear to have been about n foot or so from
the truth in their alleged location of thu
ball." and foot is a considerable distance
when measured through the vitals of a man
No wonder they shrank from an operation
for the removal Of the ball. Suppose the.
had gone hunting in right the lilac fossa for
ball that lay about three inches to the left o
the spine, and beneath the great alimentar,
gland Verify, surgery is not yet an exac
science.

THE COUNTRY was in tears and mourn
ing yesterday, but this fact didn't prevent
a couple of Yirginia's noble sons from
thinking their "honah" had been i'm
fringed upon to an extent that called for q
deadly meeting. 1t seems that these two
worthless tried to crack away at each other
several weeks ago, but were not satisfied to
escape with their lives. They had on too
heavy load of honah, and wanted to work
some of it off. 1t was great success, when
the question of pacifying the demands Of
"honah" is considered. Mr.. Lewis inflicted
serious wound ON beech tree in neigh
boring field, and Mr.. Wise fired heroically
at the sky, which, we learn, escaped un-
hurt. This, in the fine language of the
code, is supposed to patch up the serious
damage that "honah" has sustained at the
hands of two blooded gentlemen from Vir-
ginia. We have but q word of comment on
this business. 1t is our private opinion
expressed with all the publicity we can
command, that when these two gentlemen
from Virginia selected Tuesday, September
90, 1881, as the time for adjusting theii
. honah, they had better have commenced
things by hunting up their alleged honat
with a microscope. The average year con
tains 1865 days, either one of which woult
have been in better taste for this purpos,
than yesterday.

A DISPATCH from Long Branch represents
George Bliss as having said, in the presence
of one Packer, son of another Packer, that
she had heard President Arthur say that
he considered that he had paid Mr.. ConlSling
all he ever owed him, or words to that effect.
The route by which this story reaches us
is too circuitous. 1t is highly improbable
that George Bliss ever said anything of the
sort And VIC feel abundantly authorized
to declare that President Arthur never made
such speech as is attributed to him.
So far as we comprehend the rela-
tions between Mr.. Conkling and
President Arthur, they were mover
viewed by either one of those gentlemen as
being predicatcd upon system of debit
and credit. We are absolutely sure that
neither one OF them ever kept an account
current of his transactions with the other
The people who have been standing oil
their heads for fear that Arthur, upon sue
ceeding to the Presidency, would call ConlS
ling to his Cabinet may as well change end
and be tranquil. In the first place, Presi
dent Arthur will not call Mr.. Conklinl
into his Cabinet. In the next place,
he should call, Conkling would not come
A fundamental rule of Mr.. Conkling's pub
lie conduct Is that he will hold no Office ex
cept by vote of the people or of a Legisla
ture. Everybody who knows anythin
about the man knows that thisis cardins
principle with him.
