Cured at the store of Mr. Elfert, some
six miles above Thibodaux on yesterday
evening a week ago. A negro from
whom young Elfert claimed n debt that
was due, shot at the young man twice,
hitting him the second on the back OF
the head. The gun was loaded with
small duck shot. The young man has
been suffering badly from the wound
but will probably recover without any
serious injury.

!. ALTHOUGH Ramsey and Hennepin coun-
ties pay more than quarter of the entire
taxes OF the State, the legislators from the
rural districts begrudge them the slight
est benefits from the State funds. If
these two counties should secede from
the rest Of the State, it is to be feared the
remaining part of the commonwealth
would have a hard time to make both
ends meet.-St. Paul Globe.
Surprising the rest OF tbs State
should secede from these two counties
what would be the RESULT To a man
up a tree it seems as though st. Paul
and Minneapolis especially the latter
city-get their share Of the State
funds. The Globes fling at the rural
districts is uncalled for and unjust.

The majority of the Rum River
lumbermen did not seem to fully un-
derstand that dam bill introduced by
Senator j. B. Gillian; one clause
provides that tariff Of six cents per
thousand can be collected on all logs
below the dam; supposing the dam is
built at Mile Laos lake the owners
of said dam might charge six cents
per thousand for all the logs that are
foated down Rum Riyer--West
Branch included. OF what benefit
would dam at the Lake be to either
the Bogus Brook or West Branch

Leading Questions.

I'VE clip the following pertinent cues
tons from the Winona Republican in ref J
erence to Incorporation made by selah
chamberlain for the final settlement Of
his claim against the State by submitting
The same to the decision of the supreme
court. That any settlement of this vex-
ed bond question should be made other
than by submitting the same to the peo-
pie at general election ought not to be
entertained by the legislature:'
How is Mr.. Chamberlain's proposed
suit against the State to be brought. and
in whose name?
Can the supreme court entertain any
such suit brought againgt the States
II yes, is the court TO determine the
cause on points Of law alone, or is its iur.
isdiction broad enough to cover both law
and equity?
Can that tribunal declare that the State
owes upon each bond a fraction only Of
the expressed value, and that beyond the
fraction thus to be determined there is no
legal obligation?
And, IN that event, who would care for
such fragments OF the States honor as
AAAoAAo W ASAo uAH1iAulCaICu!
Is it contemplated to submit this extra.
ordinary proposition to the people fo.
their approval or rejection before the 81.
preme court shall have sat thereupon in
judgment? or afterwards? or not at ali.
Can the supreme court, from the atti-
tude OF all its members in relation to this
question in former years, justly be regard
ed as an impartial tribunale
Supposing the court should pronounce
MIR. Chamberlain's bonds worthless. and
they should be solemnly committed to the
flames by the auditor in pursuance Of that
decision, might not Mr.. Cham berlain re-
pent him Of his rash act and forever AT
ter hold up that tnnctionary to the public
gaze as q too realistic incendiary, lust as
he has stigmatized the whole people Of
Minnesota as dishonest and regulators.
What assurance is there that the re.
naming bondholders will unite with the
mepoElalists in aeeepting the. decision
or the arbitration which is it 10 be of
tue supreme court in this case?
Finally, TO say nothing of the principal.
which Is to be determined by the court.
could not Mr.. Chamberlain be persuaded
to reduce the interest on the proposed
new issue OF thirty-year bonds from six
to four per cent?

That truly moral newspaper, the
st. Paul Dispatch, chimes in with the
Pioneer.Press and the Globe, and
choruses: Right or wrong pay the
bonds; d-n the people! The Su-
preme court is the people, anyhow!
That is the sum and substance of the
burden Of the bond-organs' song. Per-
haps the people will have something
to say by-and- by.

a Rash Opinion.

Congressman Washburn of Minnesota,
while in this city a few days ago, stated
to Tribune reporter that nearly all Of
the people of ST. Paul and Minneapolis,
as we'll as the people of other cities in the
State, favored an immediate payment of
the debt OF the State. He said it was 4
great misfortune that constitutional
amendment had been adopted whereby it
was put out Of the power Of the legisla-
ture to pay these bonds. He was Of the
opinion, however, that the bonds would
soon DC paid without submitting the
question directly to the people.-Inter
view in New York Tribune.

Capitol Jottings.

The Princeton party in st. Paul last
week were brought in contact with sew.
eral members of the house and senate
who treated US very kindly and listened
attentively to our views First and fore
most, Lieut.. Gov. Gilman, the best friend
Mile Laos cuunty has got in either
branch of the legislature, was ever ready
and willing to do what he could for
Princeton. Messrs. Caine and Putnam,
the members from Anoka and Isanti were
friendly and obliging, especially the form
er, but why these gentlemen, representa-
lives ,of such rich and growing counties
as santi and Anoka, Should be willing tos
play second fiddle to East Hennepin is
more than we can find out. Senator
Campbell, of Meeker county, one of the
ablest men in the senate, is gentleman
with whom it is pleasure to become ac
quainted. Hon. H. G. Kendall, of Duluth,
is also first class fellow aud leader in
the house; he made gallant aud success
full fight last election against big odds,
Representatives Comstock, of Moorhead,
Collins, of St. Cloud, and Charlie Wash
burn, of Herman, treated our party with
considerate kindness. Senator J. B
Gilfillan, of Hennepin East, is very cour.
teous and accommodating and sharp
fgurer for his own interests; and last
but not least, the members from this dist
riot, Hon. Jonathan Simmons and Hon
G. B. Buchanan, were untiring in their
efforts to please their Mile Laos county
constituents. Mr. Buchanan, especially,
merits the thanks of the people Of this
community. Senator Simmons health
has been poor for some time and he is far
from well yet, still he is in his seat regu-
larly to look after the interests of his dist.
riot. tits the unanimous opinion of the
members of our party that had the repre-
sentatives from Anoka and Isanti coun-
ties been at all favorable to the scheme,
an independent district could have been
formed out of the counties of Anoka,
lsanti, Sherburne and Mile Laos. But
we all came home well satisfied that
the interests of this county would be
zealously guarded.
