Riehmon says: This morning disturbance
took place in Fredericksburg, which almost
brought about serious trouble. Captain Nor
ris Rowe, a prominent white citizen, while
discussing the Danville riot, was overheard
by a negro named Street, who denounced the
statement about the riot as a funder, (mesn-
iNg a Democratic lie) and then knocked
Rowe down. Rowe succeeded in getting him
of and beat him soundly. The affair at
iracted a large crowd Of whites and blacks

the districts in the State and apprehensions
are entertained that other riots will occur to-
morrow. More arms have been sold in the
State in the pas, 10 days than ever before in
time Of peace, except probably since just
after the war.

In 1861 to 1866, Capt. James L. Fisk, OF
White Bear, under government auspices
conducted SIX emigrant trains from the
Mississippi into Montana and Idaho.
Oct. 10, 1865, John Wilson, third auditor
of the general land Office at Washington,
in a letter to Col. Rowland, expressed his
opinion that the land grant of the Northern
Pacific company would ultimately pay the
entire cost of building the road,an also for
fleet of steamers and vessels in connecting
Pacific trade, and leave a surplus of mil
lions of dollars.
Nov, 81, 1866, the Boston board of trade
adopted an able committee report in favor
of additional government aid to construc-
ton of the Northern Pacific.
April 8, 1866, Sena tors Ramsey, Norton,
Williams and Nesmith, and Representa-
tiyes Donnelly, Window, Henderson, Dem
ny, HoIbrook and Mclean published an
appeal to their fellow members of con-
gress in behalf of the Northern Pacific.
In the same month Generals Grant,
Me1gs and Ingalls,i in reply to George Gibbs,
chairman of directors committee, ex-
pressed the opinion that tins Northern Pa
cifc would be great military advantage
to the United States.
Edwin E.Johnson,the first chief engineer,
reported detailed estimates of the cost of
construction by line substantially the
same as that on which the road has since
been built. His estimates foot up $780,
$1,000, and include complete equipment
of the road, but no branches or equip
ment for the same.

Memoranda.

In the United States senate in 1858
Hon. Henry NJ. Rice, speaking to a reso
luton authorizing the president to con-
tract for government transportation by
railway between the Missouri and Pacific,
presented his opinions and facts within
his knowledge favorable to the northern
route.
January Sd, 1859, meeting was held
at st. Paul to promote the establishment
of an overland mail, semi weekly, betwee n
ST. Paul and Puget Sound.
January 22d, 1859, D. A. Robertson pre-
scented to the chamber of commerce let
ter from Commander Maury, United
States navy, advocating two transconti-
mental railways, one in the south aud one
in the north.
Jan. z, 1859. In the United States SEN
ate Gen. James Shields delivered a speech
in which he strongly set forth the need of
Pacific railways and the advantages of the
northern route.
April 16, 1850. In the house of repre-
sentatives Hon. Cyrus Aldrich presented
a report from a select committee, review
ing congressional action in favor of the
northern route.
May 20, 1860. Gov. Stevens reviewed
criticisms on his report and presented new
facts and arguments in favor of the north

Oregon and Washington.

The First COMPANY.

Pursuant to the charter the first direc-
tors were chosen December 6, 1864, and on
the following day they organized by choos-
ing officers, headed by Josiah Perham as
president. Mr.. Perham and his associates
proposed to raise $100,000,OOO by the sub
scriptions of million individuals, whom
they believed could be found willing to
take one share of stock each at par, and
thus build the road. That scheme failed.
The next set of directors, two years later,
headed by J. Gregory Smith as president,
memorialized congress to the effect that
the land grant being mainly located re-
mote from the then settled portions of the
country, and little known to the
public, had, with the many other
favorable provisions Of the charter, proved
insufficient to induce capitalists to embark
IN the enterprise; more particularly so
because other roads to the Pacific were
able to offer not only their land grant
security, but also the bonds of the United
States. The memorialists solicited SINH
lar aid for the Northern Pacific in govern,
ment bonds. Congress finally failed tc
adopt legislation authorizing aid in gov
er6asent issues, and in May, 1869, and Jan
uary, 1870. the company. then controlled
and directed by such men as J. Edgar
Thompson, president of the Pennsylvania
railroad, Thomas A. Scott, its vice presi-
dent; William B. Ogden, president of the
Chicago d Northwestern, j. G. Smith, OF
the Vermont Central, George w. Cass, OF
the Pittsburg 81 Fort Wayne, B. P. Cheney.

finance by their success in negotiat-
ing the war bonds of the government, 30
act as the fiscal agents of the Northern
Pacific.
Under the financial direction and con-
troll OF Jay Cooke d Co, which lasted till
the fall OF 1873, $3O,000,000 of the COM
pany's bonds were negotiated, bearing
3 10 per cent. interest, in gold. During
the same period there were completed and
put in operation 555 miles of road, viz:
the Minnesota division, from Thompson
Junction to Fargo, 23O miles; the Dakota
division, from Fargo to Bismarck, 1876
miles; and of the Pacific division, los miles
from Kalama to Tacoma; also, Jointly.
with the st. Paul & Duluth railroad, the
line from Thompson Ito Duluth, %
miles.
In September, 1873, the house of Jay
Cooke & Co. suspended-a mem orable
event, which precipitated general fnan'
ciai revuision, sudden and enor nous
contraction of prices and values which had
obtained in the period of extravaganza
and initiation engendered by the war debt
and the paper issues of the government.
The failure of Jay Cooke & Co., involved
the speedy bankruptcy of the No rshern
Pacific.
