the battle of Iuka and. at the second
battle of Corinth he commanded the
Second Brigade.
In the spring Of 1868, the Fifth Regi
ment went with the Fifteenth Army
Corps, to which it was then assigned, to
join in the siege of Vicksburg. During
tho siege the Fifth was under almost
constant fire and won high praise for
their bravery and fortitude After the
surrender of Vicksburg, July 4, 1868,
Gen. Hubbard was again given COM
mand of the Brigade. In December,
1854, Gen. Hubbard was promoted
Brigadier General. In February, 1865,
the Brigade moved with its Division to
New Orleans, and thence to Mobile,
where Gen. Hubbard was mustered out
in October after the surrender of that
city.
Gen. Hubbard returned to Red Wing,
and being in illhealth, did not engage
in active business until the summer
following, when he began II grain and
milling business, which he has since fol-
lowed.
In 1872, Gen. Hubbard was elected IL
the State Senate from GOodhue county
and reelected in 1874, thus serving fol
four years. During these terms he
occupied II prominent position among
the exceptionally able array of men who
com posed that body. lie held higl
place ON leading committees especial!
ON those to investigate the affairs of TIN
State Auditors and State Treasurer
offices, wherein he displayed firm
purpose to deal justly by the accuses
while firmly protecting the interests o
the State, and joined in the recommend
ations for, and in shaping the Legislation
which worked such marked reforms il
those offices. After the expiration q
his second Senatorial term, Gen. HUI

He was chosen us the third member q

ii. II. Sibley, of St. Paul, and Mi
johnson, OF Minneapolis, being til
other two members. Though the actio
of this board in the matter, has recent
boon criticised for the purpose of Great
ing prejudice against Gen. Hubbard
it ought to be enough to say that it wa
approved by Gov. Pillsbury, has bee
sanctioned by the Legislature and til
courts, and has been generally acccpte
by fair minded people as an cquitabl
settlement of IA vexcd controversial
no one is bold enough or bad enough

rupt motives OF conduct.
General Hubbard's record, as abO'
set forth, fairly exhibits his leadin
traits OF character. He is solid, sci
poised, independent, honest man. II
has sound common sense, and is a
excellent judge of human nature. II
is true as steel, true as gold to b
friends and his convictions. His cha
acter bears without stain or blemis
the most malicious assaults ofvindicti,
foes. In many emergencies of civil an
official lite he has shown nerve, Il Wi

less of consequences, which would !

career, and which stamp him as an abb
, safe man, equal to any sphere to whit
he may be called, and to any respons

Illinois, as President pro ten. of

Mr.. Pendletnn asked that the

utive session. G
The doors were renp ned al

Mr.. PeuJeton then rose and
Withdrew his objection to tie inn

The resolution was ten faken
up, and tfA yeas and nays called.
When Mr.. Bayard's name was
called he said he would withhold
his vote: that he had never OBJ
tanned office by his own vote and
be would never retain il by tina,
vote. When Mr.. Davis name WAS
called he remained silent. The
vote was SO yeas to 81 nays. Messrs
Bayard and Anthony were sp-
pointed to escort Mr. Davis to the
chair. He was escorted to his POI
sition with smiling countenance.
On taking the chair, Mr.. Davis
made brief speech, in which he
said that the high honor conferred
upon him came without any ex-
pectation on his part. If the com
pliment had carried any party OBJ
legation with it he should have
felt constrained to decliue it.

THE IRISH LAND BILL.

The Irish question is one that Eng
land caunot easily get rid of by the
passage of land bills. 1t is a matter
that deeply and seriously affects the
whole Irish people, even to the ques-
ton of life or death. The opposition
of the people cannot be stamped out
by the passage of force bills. 1t
may quiet it for a time, but the
smouldering embers will ever and
anon break forth and cause England
much trouble. Lord Derby, the lib
eral English statesman, does not
hesitate to declare that the land bill
is not sufficient to settle the ques-
.tion. Writing of it in the Nine
tenth Century, he holds that the real
sentiment of Ireland is not to be sat-
isfied in any such way as the bill
contemplates. The claim that I'M
derlies the land Observation-Disclosures
ly," he says, "the demand for an
Irish Parliament"-will in any case
still remain. 1--WE must not indulge
in the pleasant dream of loyal,
contented people," he observes "we
are at the beginning of the struggle,
not at the end" Lord Derby looks at
the Land League from a clearer stand
point than some of his countrymen
He considers it childish to speak of
the League as "the work of a few
demagogues, anxious only to draw
subscriptions from American SYM
pathizers-" 1t certainly is high time
for this childishness to cease. Blows
have not hurt the League, and sneers
like those of the London correspon-
dent of the New York Tribune can
not alter the fact that its power is in
the people, not in the leaders, though
to speak of these as demagogues is
simply the silliest rubbish. Lord
Derby's view has the merit of being
sensible, at all events. England is
being educated on the Irish ques,
ton. A few years more of the pres
sure that Lord Derby recognizes as
having forced the passage of the land
bill will probably enlighten her a
good deal.

OHIO ELECTION.

The Ohio election took place Tues
day. The vote polled throughout
the State was comparatively light,
but Notwithstanding the Republic
cans elected their State ticket, al
though the majority is somewhat re-
duced. The temperance people poll
ed some 5000 or 10000 votes, but it
seems to have been taken from both
the Democratic and Republican
parties, and therefore was not an inn
portant factor in the contest.
Fosters pleurality will reach
10000. The vote is 100, 900 short Of
what it was year ago. The legisla-
ture is Republican in both branches.

CONGRESSMAN JORGENsEN, of
Virginia, has "fiopped." At the
Lynchburg Convention he stood out
prominently as leader of the
straight-out Republicans who oppos-
ed coalition with the Readjusters.
Recently, it seems, a change has
come DER the spirit of his political
dreams, and he is now reported as
having gone over to the Readjusters.
1t is just possible that the fact of
the voters in his district being large
ly inclined that way, has had much
to do with his political somersault.
The ReadjHsters threatened to cut
short his congressional service, at the
expiration of his present term, and
knowing their ability to carry out
the threat, he has concluded to
hedge, and if possible, save his con-
gressional bacon. For ways that are
dark, and tricks that are vain, the
average politician can beat the
heather Chinee all hollow.

THE EXTRA SESSION.

The Senate met in special session
on Monday, and was organized by
the election of Senator Bayard as
President pro tempore. But little
time was wasted in preliminariess
both sides having, at their caucuses,
fully arranged programme to be
followed, and which was adhered to
strictly. The Republicans, under
the leadership of Senator Edmunds,
made futile effort to have the SEN
ators elect from New York and
Rhode Island sworn in before the
election of President pro tcmpore.
This caused some little discussion
but no determined effort was made
to prevent the Democrats from car
rying out their progromms.
On Thursday the Republicans sue
ceeded in ousting Mr.. Byard as Pres
ident pro tempore of the Senate, and
elected David Davis to fill the posi-
ton. Mr.. Davis accepted, and now
occupies the place.
This looks like child's play, and
leaves the question of the organiza-

tion Of the Senate in an unsettled
condition as long as the political
parties in that body are SO nearly
equally divided. In pursuing the
policy which has been inaugurated
of taking advantage of any tempo
rary opportunity, there is no telling
when new presiding officer may
not be chosen. Death might tenn
porarily deprive the side in control
of a vote, or even sickness may be
taken advantage of to upset the Or.

The Ups And Downs Of The
Grain Market
Wheeling Reg ster. I

l
The official returns of the wheat
crop just published,give total es-
innate of 368, 1852, 600 bushels as
the product of 1881. The corn crop
has been affected by the drouth,
and Is short. about one-third OF
the yield that was expected. The
total products is estimated at L.
1873. Gal, 900 bushels. 1t is suspect
ed that there is bigger "cat in
the meal" in the gram corners
which have been manipulated at
Chicago, than the mere grain spec
ulation accounts for. The effect
has been to create grain blockade,
to fill the western elevators to
overlooking, and to stop all ship
ments. Ii will not be many weeks
before the lakes and all water
transportation will be closed, and
then all grain coming east, must
be SHIPPED by rail. The speculation
is not represented merely by the
money that is to bJ made in the
ups and downs of prices, and there
Is good reason to believe that the
people have their fingers very
deeply in the pie. AS soon as
transportation must be done only
by rail, it is predicted that the
great stores in the western eleva-
tors will be relieved, the railroads
will be able to dictate the terms OF
stocks. IL is almost certain that
these grain corners are to be fol-
lowed with an immense boom in
railroad stock speculation, and the
people who have already paid
their tribute to the Chicago gam
blers will have to come down with
another to the Wall street gam.

Local Board of Health, under the
act of the last legislature. The law
under which the board will act fully
empowers them to have all nuisances
deleterious to health abated. Their
authority embraces the entire coun-
ty. We understand it is the inten-
ton of the board to act in connec-
tion with the city authorities within
the limits of the corporation in the
abatement of all nuisances which
have tendency to affect the health
of the citizens. A Board of Health
composed of physicians, supplies a
