Gen. Mtaaleton Wants More Troops.

Winnipeg Special:-Lord Melgund arrived in
Winnipeg on the 18th. He is on his way to
Ottawa with important dispatches from Gen.
Middleton to tho government, which the gen.
eral was afraid to transmit by wire. tits I'M
derstood that Middleton is urging the govern
ment to send up more troops as he regards the
present number at his disposal entirely made
quate to suppress the trouble in view of
the Indian rising. Melgnndlef after Saturdays
fight, which does not appear to have been so
favorable to our troops as the first dispatches
indicated, because after an all day hard fight
Middleton had not succeeded in driving
the rebels from their we'll chosen position.
Much comment is being made regarding Mel
gunds return to Ottawa from the West. The
government admits that he has come to con-
fer with the governor general respecting rein
iorcements. arms and other particulars in put
ting down the rebellion; but the opinion wide
y prevails that Middleton has tempered with
Orders from Ottawa not to follow up and at
tack the rebels, and this is SAID to have some
thing to do with Melgund' mission. French.
men are still pushing for making concessions
with the half-breeds, and negotiating to bring
about peace.

Iherehas been some revival Of bust
ness a compared with the latter part Of
1854. but the long promised business
boom has not arrived, and there is. no
prospect Of its immediate approach.
Prices Of all commodities still rule low
and the general movement Of trade con-
tinues dull and sluggish. The stock

Aected the suspension Of 1O2 such pen

Des Moines, Iowa, Special Telegram, May
12.-The decision Of the supreme court in ap-
plication of Auditor Brown by habeas corpus
proceedings to test the validity of the law
under which he was suspended from Office
reached the clerk to-day, it having been pre-
pared by Judge Adams or the question of
Browns surrender by his bondsmen direct to
the supreme court: Judge Adams says:
1t must, we think, be conceded that Brown,
having invited Duffas and Pierce to become his
suretles, cannot be allowed to resort to any pro-
ceedlng which would have the effort to render
themliable upon the bond: but Brown proposed
TO test, in advance of his discharge, tho ques-
non OF the constitutionality of the statute I'M
der which it is said that his criminal liability
mas arisen, and his position is, that il the sta
tute shall be held unconstitutional his inno-
cence shall accordingly be disclosed. We
think his petition In this respect must be sus-
tanned.
The validity Of the law under which the re-
moval was made ID then passed upon, and
sustained for the reason that the statute pro-
Vldes for suspension only. Several leading
cases are discussed, and the court says:
Whlle the suspension may have the effect of
a removal, 1t would perhaps be equivalent to
a removal during the time of suspension, SO
far as the officers most important right is
concerned. The objection is made that the
governor is not vested with Judicial power.
HIS act does not amount to q judicial
determination. The manifest object of
the statute can be occurred by some
thing less than a removal. The object is to
secure the state from loss. This object is Sc.
cured as far as it can be, by merely s%uspending
the ohcer's acts, and by gaining possession OF
the books, papers, etc: of the officer. Tho
discharge from custody prayed by the petit
toner must be denied, and he must be remand
ed.
Judge Sewers enters a vigorous dissent,
holding the statute unconstitutional The de-.
cislon has no effect on the quo warranto pro-
ceedings for the restoration of the Office re-
Gently begun by Auditor Brown in the district
court, and in which the truth or faisity of the
charges made by the experts against Brown
can be established.

Serious Nature of tn. cattle Prague.

In an interview regarding the spread Of
p!euro-pneumonia, Hon. James Wilson, the
farmer congressman of Iowa says: sIt is a
fact sufficiently startling to the owners of cat
tie and to everybody who deals with cattle
owners. Missouri is directly south of Iowa No
natural barrier separates us. Diseased cattle
can easily be driven over theline, and exposed
cattle are almost sure TO be. The presence Of
tins plague west Of the Mississippi will open a
great many eyes. Certain wise men assure us
that the disease could not exist in the dry at
mosphere OF the West. Still, We now learn
that every animal that was exposed in Illinois
has been killed. 1t has spread already over
several counties in Missouri, and, if prompt
steps We're taken at once to stamp it out, it
would cost a very large sum of money to pay
for all that have been exposed. Missouri can
not ship east nor west She can -irive into
Iowa and who can tell One drove will pellute
Iowa. The governor has done all for us he
can. Iii high time we did something for
ourselves. If tho disease should be discovered
soon IN Iowa ana investigation show that
traders have contaminated several counties as
they did IN the states that are suffering,
and it is further found that to stamp
out the disease will require a large
sum of money, are we any better prepared for
such an emergency than tho other states that
look helplessly on while the disease spreads!
Nobody thousnt much about the cow and her
calf IN the last legislatures of our states; l
wonder If they will in those that will sit this
winter? A tornado going through each county
III Iowa would be harmless compared to this
plague. A halt will be promptly called to our
prosperity, and heavy, steady losses will come
70 all who deal IN catt.e or with farmers who
breed them. Would it not be well to have
candidates for Legislative honors seen on this
subject, and their minds diverted long enough
from prohibition vs.. license" 80 that an i'm.
preston would be made?

CASTOR BEA,S A MOTT PROFIT.
ABLE CROP.

Owing to the protection afforded
by the tariff to castor beans, there
is a constant ami growing homo
demand for this crop al profitable
prices. st. Louis is the chief manu-
featuring point for castor oil, and
the market price there now for castor
beans is 50 per bushel. 1t is u crop
as easily raised as corn, and is cul
tivated in q similar manner. Seed
beans can be obtained of any of the
regular seed merchants in st. Louis,
and but one bushel is required to
plant fifteen to twenty acres.
The demand for castor beans this
season, exceeded the supply fur
nished by the last crop, and the
prospect is for high prices the com
ing season, az we hear of contracts
now being made at high fixed prices
for the coming crop.
