The Specter Of the Vicksbure Siege.

l remember to have been standing on
q knoll in front of my headquarters on
. beautiful night listening to the fire of
batteries. The moon was out in all its
splendor, and the flashes that cleaned
from the mouth of a hundred guns
could be seen for miles to the right and
left. Standing upon an adjacent hill to
my right tall figure was seen clothed
in white. 1t seemed to be that of q
man at least seven feet high, but the
uniform was not that Of soldier. In
tones never to be forgotten and that
echoed from hill to valley and from val
ley to hill, the words s.Cease fring''
was heard from this unearthly-looking
figure, as though he was commanding
the world and giving the order, by
kingdoms, right wheel" Summoning
up oil the courage at my command, I
hailed him with the inquiry, "Who on
earth are your" The prompt and en-
phatic response was: II am General
Burbridge's orderly in my night shirt"

In passing in review the probable
candidates for Congress from the
several districts in this State as now
instituted, the Pioneer Press thinks
that ex Lieut.. Gov. J. B. Wakefield,
of Blue Earth City, has the inside
track in this (the Second) district,
and that Major Strait is not likely
to meet with any embarrassing op.
position in the new Third district.
That's just about the way it looks
to us, too, and we have no fault to
find with the situation, neither.

Mr.. Dunnell, Of Maine, has intro

a measure recently urged by Mr..
Springer, Of Illinois, and by the
late Clarkson N. Potter, of New
York. Its object is to in Congress

against the government adjudicated
by court or courts constituted for
this purpose. Mr.. Springer, in q
recent speech, showed that personal
legislation was prohibited by the
constitutions Of New York, Penn
sylvania, Illinois; and most of the
other great states, and that this
prohibition had reduced the volume
Of their statutes nearly 80 per cent.
1t is absurd TO expect the legisla-
ture of 50. 900, 900 of people, con.
fronted with momentous questions
of domestic and foreign policy, to
act as a court fer the settlement of
private claims against the govern.
ment. Over 1000 bills, most of
them Of personal and private char.
acter, have already been introduced
during this session of Congress, and
the necessity of such q measure as
that proposed by Mr.. Dunnell is ur.
gently felt. ;.
