RAILROAD NOTES.


Mr.. Kellogg returned with his surveying
party from Dry Cottonwood pass on last Fri
day, having run levels to the pass and chained
the line. The elevation was found to be ESQ
feet above the door sill of the McBurney
Mouse, and the shortest railroad route would
be something over 20 miles. Col. Dodge ar
rived from Butte the same day and with Mr..
Kellogg went over the route on Saturday. The
grade il pretty stiff and some five or six mi les
after the line energies from the pass to the
foot hills there are some engineering difficult
ties, which are, however, not by any means
in>uprrabl-. The pass and approaches have
now been fairly reconnoitered. Their advan-
tages and disadvantages will be considered
AMI compared with those of others, and the
location of the road will be determined on
business principles. This route il seventees
miles shorter than any other, and that is IA
consideration in its favor. We have full con-
idence Col. Dodge will give it fair COMPARE
son with Others and recommend that which,
all things considered, he deems the best. The

W" notice by the Butte papers that Mr.
Keith, in charge of the party that is to survey
the pipestonc Pass, has reached Butte. A
reconnaissance of the Home>take Pass lying
near Butte, showed it to be impracticable,
being very abrupt on the west. We also no.
tice the Butte and Helena papers are each
expressing confidence that the Northern Pa
citic will be built to their respective towns.
1t comes from good authority that both are
right. 1t is contemplated that if the main
line runs through one place the other will be
the terminus of branch road.

appetite reaching out for more and
richer food. and his courage, patience
and confidence in his ultimate recov-
cry hourly strengthening. This, in

and almost hourly bulletins that have
been issued by his physicians and
given to an anxious country, since
the last issue of the FREE PRESS. So,
every outlook is hopeful and most
gratifying. 1t is now purposed to re-
move him to the seaside, away from
the malarial atmosphere to which the
Capitol at Washington is not exempt,
just rs soon as his strength will al.
nit. He is reported to DO very anx.
iOus about the news and current
events of the most prominence. His
physicians all battle against this
growing desire, and strongly advise
perfect cOmpOsure and withdrawal of
his mind from all government cares.
1t is stated that he frequently in
quires if the frequent issue of bulle.
tins will not sicken and disgust the

trary and that all the people are clam.

touching his condition and gratifying
progress he is making towards final

where now abound and their meetings
arc all held in the interest and for
the alienation of the ills to which
our flesh is heir. This imposes upon
MS the duty as Journalists to chronicle
briefly their dOings. We see it stated

called court, among other things the
question whether the Constitution,
under which this tribunal sits. and
which each IF its members has solemnly
soorn to support, and by virtue of
which Mr.. Pillsbury is Governor of
the State, is part of the COnstitu-
ton, or of any binding force.
This tribunal is not court, and
will not, and cannot possess any judi.
cial powers, for the plain reason that
it is not created as provided in Arti-
Gle o, Section /, of the Constitution.
1t is nothing but fungus growth
that is attempted to be fastened upon
our judicial system. These so.called
judges, judicially speaking, will have
when assembled, no other or greater
power to bind the people of the State
by their determination than would
any other five individuals taken at
random, And yet it is attempted to
invest such Il tribunal with the des.
pOtic power of making and unmaking
Constitutions. 1t is expected of this
tribunal. although it is powerless to
legally determine the smallest ques.
ton of property between citizen and
citizen, that it shall sOlemnly say that
plain provision of the organic law,
whose validity has not hitherto been
questioned, and one, which more than
any other provision of the COnstitu-
ton was placed where it is for the
protection of the people, is null and
void, and no part of the Constitution.
In other words, these five individ-
uals are expected by the bondholders
and Governor Pillsbury to make a new
Constitution for the people, for if a
tribunal. unknown to the law, can
strike out a part of the Constitution,
it can with equal right add new pro-
visions to it. Even if judicial tribunals
have the right in any case to de.
termine any part of the organic law
to be imperative, that does not help
the matter for this tribunal, not
being part of the judicial system
of the State, can lay claim to no such
high prerogative. Such an act would
be most daring usurpatiOn, and
nothing more or less. b.

Gov. Roberts, who objected on the
ground that such a movement would
smack too much of a union of Church

New Ulm, can safely be classed in the
category Of unfortunate cities. 1t was
almost annhilated twenty years ago by
the savages, and its residents massacred
and driven from their homes. To-day,
it occupies nearly the same position
caused by the elements of nature, only
the horrors are less conspicuous and less
appalling, but the fright and panic of
the people must have been fully as
great when they observed detached roofs,
timbers and houses RACED from their
supposed permanent resting places and
sent flying through the air and crashing
to the earth with terrific roar, AZ they
were when the shrill war whoop of the
merciless Indian rang in their ears on
that eventful morning in 1862.
Last Friday afternoon the storm and
threatening clouds were watched with
anxiety by all, even in this city, and
many approximations were felt until the
rain and wind had passed, and while
those here and at other points retired
with feelings of gratitude that no danger
threatened them, they scarcely compre
hendcd tho fact that the angry clouds
were lowering in battle array over the
city ofNew Ulm only thirty miles away,
ready to crush it and its people in the
twinkling Of an eye. But such was the
case, and as an eye witness expressed
himself, the clouds came in two different
directions and met at the outskirts of
the place when they Joined forces and
swooped down upon the place like an
eagle after its prey, traversing the entire
length of the city, and then lowered for
an instant in the air as if contemplating
the work it had done, and not appearing
satisfied, whirled to an opposite point
and swept the streets once more, CON-
pleting its labor of destruction. After
the fury of the storm had abatcd and
the apprehension OF the citizens some
what allayed, they sailed forth to look
upon the dire scene, and indeed it was
a most dire one, for they observed largo
brick and frame buildings that only an
hour before graced their streets, lying
either as pile of rubbish or with their
fronts and roofs blown in and of, and
their contents utterly destroyed. The
scene as related US by resident makes
language wholly inadequate to describe;
in fact, the power of words can not com.
prehend the extent of utter desolation.
1t requires personal observation and
ample time to gain even small idea of
the change made on the face of the
scene in brief half hour. Suffice it to
