work is certain to resume OH their road in
three weeks, the gentlemen connected with
the road, most of whom live in Boston are
very wealthy, they have large grant from
the state which is very valuable. The road as
proposed starts from Duluth, the company
having already gradedten miles, and secured
dock frontage, it runs in northwesterF di-
rection, via Grand Rapids, to Red Lake Falls,
where the company also own some land the
farming land in the vicinity is considered
the finest in the northwest. This, with the
opening OF the Red Lake Indian reservation,
a large part of which is covered with very
fine quality of pine, with portion of oak,
will attracta large emigration. They have
large water power at Red Lake Falls, and be-
ing but few miles from the timber, it is
likely to become large manufacturing
town. Two other roads have been surveyed
which will likely be built this coming
summer.

THE vote of Senator Sabin upon the Fitz
John Porter case is attracting considerable
attention. The fact that the chairman of
the Republican National committee should
have sufficient political independence to do
justice to a wronged man, surprises the pet
BY partisans. Mr.. Sabin correctly represented
the majority of the people of Minnesota by
his vote. He was in the legislature and
voted for the memorial in favor of Porter,
which was adopted. His vote in the senate
was not only consistent, but was absolutely
in accordance with the instructions of the
legislature of his state. Every other member
Of the Minnesota delegation was too
violently partisan to recognize the wishes
OF their constituency. They could only see
that 'their party" was voting to convict
Porter or to refuse justice, as a matter of po-
litical policy, and they blindly followed.
Senator Sabin has done himself and the
state credit by his vote

MIR. SITTING BULL.
This distinguished Indian warrior is to be
entertained on Monday by the board of edrl-
cation and shown how civilized people, who
have been christianized and humanized seek
to cultivate the mind and elevate the souls of
the human race. The president of
the board, Mr.. Oppenheim, stated
that Mr.. Bull had been brought here that he
might obtain some idea of what civilized life
is. The government of the United States
undoubtedly had an object in bringing him
here, and that object was to impress upon his
mind what civilization is. He thought
the board of education of St. Paul
ought to aid the government in this
laudable effort. To that end he had cons
yeyed to Mr.. Bull the compliments of the
board and invited him to visit the public
schools of the city. This inspection will take
place on Monday next, commencing at the
Fanklin school building. After doing that
part of the system Mr.. Bull will be taken to
the High school building. Mr.. OPP
penheim expressed the wish that
the members of the board as far as possible
would be present and assist.

CURRENT COMMENT.

GEN. BUTLER is very frequently at New EYork,
and is to deliver the Decoration Day Grafton
there this year. The reason for the General s
frequent calls at the metropolis is in part ex-
planned by the fact that his daughter Blanche
Mrs. Gen, Ames-resides at Brooklyn, and this
daughter is the fathers idol. She is beautiful
woman, tall and graceful, and dresses with ex-
quisite taste, and is noted for possessing many
of her fathers gifts of speech. While Gen.
Butler was in congress Gen. Ames was made
military governor of Mississippi, and was the
first reconstruction senator from the state. 1t
was then he became the husband of Blanche
Butler, and for time they were central figures
at Washington. Now Gen. Ames is hum-drum
Brooklyn commission merchant. He has one
son, and his wife named it Ben, after her dis
tinguished father, and little Ben. Is great pet
in his grandfather's home at Lowell.
