THE first official act of President
Arthur after taking the oath of office,
was a brief address, which some of
our contemporaries call an inaugural.
in which he briefly outlined his in
tentiOns, as well AS the deep sorrow he
felt at the great national bereavc.
ment experienced in the death of
President Garfield, and offered a
touching appreciation of the depth
Of sorrow into which his afflicted
family have been plunged. His
words were delicate, scholarly and
statesman-like. and are received with
deserved favor by all classes.
We regret exceedingly our inability
to present the address in the FREE
PRESS to-day, owing to the crowded
state of our columns. 1t will appear
of record in our next.

Mimi sota's Next Governor.

1t is but natural for every elector TO
desire thorough personal acquaintance
with the bearers of his standards, but
since that is next to an impossibility,
the nearest approach thereto, by con.
stituency widely scattered over a vast
State like Minnesota, must come from
an impartial biography Of their lives so
far as they have been illustrated With
this brief introduction, we subjoin, for
the information of every reader of the
FREE PRESS, the following brief bio
graphy of LUCIUS F. HUBBARD, who
was on Wednesday last, nominated on
the first formal ballot by the Republican
State Convention at St. Paul, for Gov.
ernor of the State OF Minnesota
Gen. Lucius Frederick Hubbard was
born January 90, 1885, at Troy, N. Y.
When Gen. Hubbard was three years
old, his father, at that time sheriff of
Rensselaer, county and u leading and
influential Wing, died. This event
changed the circumstances of the fami-
ly. The son was sent to live with an
aunt at Chester, VT, where he remained
until he was IL years Of age, when he
went to Granville, N. Y, and attended
the academy for three years. From
Granville, Gen. Hubbard went, at the
age of Is, to Poultney, VT, and began
an apprenticeship to the tinsmith's
trade. Completing his apprenticeship
in 1854, he determined to take the cur
rent advice of the times, first coined in
the historic epigram of Horace Greeley,
and Ego West"
In the winter of 1884, he reached
Chicago, having journeycd by the first
railroad to the young metropolis of the
West. Gen. Hubbard worked at his
trade in Chicago three years.
He then removed to Red Wing, in this
State, and in 1857 started the Red Wing
Republican. His evenings and spare
time while working at his trade had
been studiously employed in reading
and various mental improvement.
In the fall of 1858, Gen. Hubbard
was elected Register Of Deeds for
Goodhue county, and held the office
until the close of his term in 1860. In
the fall of 1851 Gen. Hubbard was the
Republican candidate for the State
Senate. He was beaten by majority
of only 7 votes.
In December, 1861, Gen. Hubbard en-
listed as private in the Fifth Mime.

quota under the call for 100000 men.
The regiment rcndezvOused at Fort
Smelling and the first organization was
made March 90, 1852. In May, compa-
les b, c and d were detached and order

naming seven companies were ordered
South, and on the Gath of the same
month reported to Gen. Pope in the
field before Corinth, Miss, and were
assigned to the Second Brigade, First
Division, Army Of the Mississippi. Gen.
Hubbard was with his regiment in
every engagement in which tho regi'
ment fought. The first battle was al
Pennington, four days after the regi-
ment arrived in Mississippi. The next
day the first battle of C0rrinth took
place, and the regiment fought bravely
in that important battle.
On the 31st Of August following,
Gen. Hubbard became colonel. He
was in command Of the regiment during
