 The Land League Ball at the Rink on Wednesday evening was grand success. The large number in attendance, the re- spectiblllty of the gathering, the orderly and systematic arrangements were super lor to any 1 have witnessed. Mayor Bulkeley, Senator John R. Hills, Quart.r r Master General Harbison, Speaker Hall and a number of Representatives were present. The different organizations were we'll represen:ed. The leaders of benevo- lent, Literary, and Land League organiza- tions, were prominent on the floor among those who were enjoying themselves. The gallery was filled with spectators, among whom were a number of gray-headed old men who appeared to thoroughly enjoy the attractive and good-natured appear ance of the dancers.
 The gathering was so large and in many respects so different from Ballroom as- semblages, that I ventured to ask a friend some questions about the object of the Ball. 1 was enfo1med it was for the pur- pose of raising money to assist the people of Ireland in their struggle against Land Lord-oppression. My friend explained how cruel and unrelenting the Land Lords have been, how Ireland has been impover- ished and robbed by this class of men who never paid dollar for their estate, their titles the product of robbery and confsca- tion. felt so thankful to my friend for this explanation that decided to write a short account of this gather ng and ask its publication in your young, enterprising, and lntelegent journal. The explanation of the object for which the money raised by this ball was to be devoted, indicated an interest in the Land League and sym pathy for the purpose of Ireland in theIr heroic efforts to destroy Landlordism, the last remnant of Feudellsm i'll Europe.
 was astonished to learn that there are some men in Hartford who call themselves Irishmen, opposed to raising money in this way even for the starving people of Ireland.
 Money has been raised from time to time for objects wanting in merit, and sanctifed by no such nobleness as distin- guishes the present pressing and starving Condition of the Irish people. I rejoice that the good cause is not forgotten in Hartford. That there are some men and women too, whose independence and love of Fatherland is neither crushed nor bullied by threats issued by men who call them Selves Inshmen and friends of Ireland just as Gladstone and Foster does; but from such friends may God deliver poor Ireland A.

 The following circular has been sent to all the stockholders of the New York, New Haven and Hartford road-except Cover nor Jewell.

 NEW YORK, February 1O, 1882.
 Dear Sir: The attempt to parallel our road between New York and New Haven IS revived in new form.
 petition signed by five persons, asking for charter to build 8 road on the old Parallel line, is now being pressed before the legislature of Connecticut. The Ob- iect ot this petition Is, no doubt, the same as heretofore sought in different form. Whether that Is to benefit the public or the petitioners, you can judge as well l can.
 There is no more need now, so far as the public are concerned, for such road than there was when the legislature repeatedly refused to charter 1t. The general rail road law, under which any twenty five per sons can build railroads ln our state, has been in force for ten years.
 Let me urge you to lose no time in sec ing the senators and represent atives in your county and town and securing their voices and votes against this scheme, which, if successful, must, of course, lm- pair to some extent the value of your stock In this road. Very respectfully yours,
 GEORGE H. WATROUs, President.
 Why Gov. Jewell's name is omitted is because he is also interested in the pro- posed line; and why the following com ments are indulged in by the Post is be- cause Gov. Jewell holds @ controlling interest in that association.

IT is pleasant to be "endorsed." Last
week the TRANSCRIPT expressed an opinion
adverse to the proposition for taking off
the postage on newspapers and magazines
and carrying them free in the mails. Our
endorsement is from the n. Y. Sun,
received since our last issue, which gives
the following cogent reasons for opposing
the propositions:
The Postmaster-G General proposes to
take the postage off of newspapers and
magazines, and to carry them ali free in
the mails. Under the present law news
papers are carried free in the counties
in which they are printed and Mr.. Howe's
idea is to extend this system to the en-
tire periodical press.
Now, this would be convenient ar
rangement for us, since it would save to the
Sun $4,000 to $4,000 year, which we
now have to pay on account of postage;
but we cannot see the justice of it. The
Post Office Department has never vet paid
its running expenses. There is always a
deficit which has to be made up from
money which the people have pro-
vided' for other uses. 1t all comes
upon the taxpayers at last; and if
all newspapers and periodicals should be
carr led free, somebody would have to pay
for it. To illustrate the point, we do not
think it would be right to charge our
$40, 600 year Of postage to the general
expenses Of the whole country We do
not think it would be just to extend the
present system of carrying newspapers
gratis in the counties where they are
printed and to increase the levy upon the
taxpayers which it's extension would rem
der necessary. We dare say Mr.. Howe's
proposition may be very we'll thought of
in some quarters; but we arc unable to
give it our appreciation.

The New Adjurant General.

Gov. Hubbard has appointed Capt A.
G. Hawley, of Austin, adjutant general,
to fill the vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton of Adjutant General Van Cleve. The
appointment takes effect Tomorrow
Capt. Hawley arrived to-day to take pos
session of the Office tomorrow. Heis spo-
ken of as capable and worthy man and
oficer.-Minneapolis Journal, May31.
Among the new appointments and most
important is that of Capt. A. c. Hawley,
to be adjutant general, from the fact that
it devolves upon him the management of
the adjutant generals Office of the state,
through which the prosecution of pension
and other claims against the government,
ETC., etc, are made without expense to the
old soldier. For such place an old
soldier should be selected, and such is Capt.
Hawley. He enlisted in Co. K of Brack-
ett's battalion, from which after being
promoted to commissioned officer he
was transferred to the Mississippi Marine
brigade, from which he eventually re-
signed to accept commission in COM
pany1, Eleventh Minnesota, while serv-
ing in which capacity he was detailed by
Gen. Thomas on his staff as inspector of
railroad defenses.
Bishop Ireland, chaplain on the COVER
nor's staff, served with Gov. Hubbard's
regiment, in the capacity to which he is
named IN the late war, as many an old
soldier remembers with pride and plea

Of the people. His recent speech regard
Ing the tariff question strikes a popular
chord in Minnesota. Mr.. Dunnell ran
considerable risk as republican congress
man in taking stand so at variance with
the platform of his party but he followed
his convictions and the people will see
that he does not lose by so doing.-Lake
City ReoSe,o.
Touching congressional prospects in
this district, we are at present of the
opinion that no candidate has as yet been
brought forward on the republican side
who stands much chance of defeating Mr..
Dunnell for the nomination. The most
prominent aspirant thus far is Milo White,
state senator from the southern diatrict
OF Olmsted county. We are free to say
that as matters now stand it does not look
to us rs if there was much prospect of
any successful opposition to the renomina-
ton of "our member Wabasha Herald.

An Opposition View.

A correspondent from Olmsted county

and calls him "the worst man in the Dis
trictp In this we consider him mistaken
There are men who pretend to be
"reformers" as much worse than Dunnell
as Dunnell is meaner than an angel of
light! If nominated, and the choice lay
between them and Mark H., every honest,
intelligent man, would vote for the latter
as a choice of evils, without regard to
political names or affiliations. Most men
have some good traits: Dunnell has
many. He is a man of considerable
ability. He is an interchangeable worker.
He has studied carefully the meaning of
the word gratitude. He is true to his
friends and disciples. He is an organizer,
and a good one, instead of political
wrecker and brigand. He is not all sell
fishness and malignity-a white FLOODED
bundle of incarnated meanness, duplicity,
hypocrisy, and self-conceit. No there
are worse men than Dunnell

A MOST revolving murder occurred at
Mitchell, DIT, Monday, in broad day
light, and literally before the eyes and
in the face of many people. A gang of
track-hands engaged to lay track on the
Jim river extension from Mitchell north,
had just arrived, and among them some
rough characters. Some of these got
into fight among themselves shortly be-
fore midday, and kept it up at intervals
for some little time. This occurrence
was near the depot and some little dis
lance from the business portion of the
town, and either the police authorities
were not appraised of the affair or they felt
unable to contend against such force.
At all events two of these brutal fellows
were allowed to pound third one until
he actually died. The murdered mans
name is Pat Murphy, and he, with the
balance of the gang, is reported to have
come from Chicago. The two parties
who committed the crime refuse to dis
close their names, but they are under
arrest, and were to be examined yester-
day. The citizens of this bustling thriv-
ing town were terribly mortified that such
an act should be committed there, but it
is not easy to discover how any blame
can attach to them, for but few knew
anything of the ARRAY until it was over,
and it would have been simply fool-hardy
for that few to have interfered.

Wabasha County Solid for Dunnell.

Wabasha County Solid for Dunnell.
Dunnell or not Dunnell? That is the
question for the people of this district to
decide before the convention is called.
After looking the field over carefully with
an eye single to the best interests of the
people we have come to the conclusion
that the question must be decided in the
affirmative. Mr.. Dunnell has been in pub
lie life for a great many years. He has
been in congress for ten consecutive years
and this alone should be a strong argu-
ment in his favor. It is not possible in
free Minnesota for man to keep himself
continually in public Office for long
term of years unless he is in some degree
worthy of the trust reposed in him. That
may be done in the south but not in the
great northwest. His opposition is. so
scattering that it will be impossible to
secure majority Of the delegates against
him. The large number of soreheaded
politicians who are trying to defeat Mr..
Dunnell's candidacy find they cannot
unite their forces upon any suitable man
and the probabilities are that he will be
nominated on the first ballot. The one
remarkable fact about the campaign is the
strong hold Mr.. Dunnell has on the people.
We believe that three out Of five of the re-
publicans Of Wabasha county desire his
nomination and in the counties where he is
better known even 5 greater number than
that are his friends. This Is robably ow-..
ing to his fearless upholding 81 the rights

Dunnell Is Right.

GAINESVILLE Argus: Mr.. Dunnell deserves
we'll of the country and of Minnesota by
boldlytaking the bull blythe horns and ear
nestly demanding the immediate revision
of the tariff as the grand question to be
settled by the present congress. The dis
graceful moiety business led to forced
and unwilling change, grudgingly given,
which, like charity was expected to cover
a multitude of sins. The position of the
late lamented Garfield, than whom no
man was better informed on the subject
is the one taken by Mr.. Dunnell, hence
the falsehood of accusing him of being a
''free trader" a charge which some of that
gentleman's enemies flippantly make.
Some sniff1ers get so much in the habit of
prevarication and falsehood during a
heated canvass, that it would seem to
take more than two years to switch on to
the main line of truth, if indeed some of
them dc not get ultimately lost in the
wilderness of misrepresentation, and
finally fail of reaching the clear light and
the straight track Of truth and rectitude.
Let all such continue to throw the mud
in which they wallow at Mr.. Dunnell, and
all who like him are in this respect trying
to do the right thing for the people. We
may not in the past have admired or sup
ported some of Mr.. DunnelPs measures,
but in this respect we heartily endorse his
bold and independent course.

GEN. GAR1BALD1, the great Italian
Liberator, is dead, dying at the age of
seventy-tive. He was a distinguished
leader and soldier, and his life was full of
adventure and excitement. Power and
wealth, slavery and poverty, were alike
known to him. His great heart bled for
the down-trodden and the oppressed,
and, sword in hand, he helped to fight
their battles until his name was the
watchword of revolution His sympathy
knew no race or country, but was broad
and deep enough to take in every land

millions, who, but for thee, would still

IT is currently reported that the foun-

We had wondered if the croakers were
all dead. That the foundation for a
courthouse could be built in Mower
county without voice from them was an
enigma we could not solve. Therefore,
that the squeak has come at last does not
astonish us. We had been expecting it.
Now, as to the report. We do not be-:
lieve there is cause for any such report.
However, we should be glad to have re-
liable information on the subject. The
County Commissioners have an expert
enced superintendent in II. ]. Anderson,
and a published statement from him
ought to be authority. He has the repu-
tation of being an honest architect and
builder, and being in no way interested
in the contract, he would have no motive
in disappearing the facts. The
city OF Austin is certainly more interest
ed, in dollars and cents, than any other
portion Of the county. She wants a
thoroughly good building, one that will
be permanent and lasting. Her contri-
button is bonus Of So, 600 besides her pro-
portion Of the taxes which win be about
One-fifth of the entire cost. If the
foundation when done will not support

payers Of Austin would be glad to be
informed Of the fact.
