The Attorney General has forwarded
to the Secretary of the Interior his
opinion in the matter of the right of the
Northern Pacific Railroad to second
indemnity belt in Minnesota, and the
right of the road to take indemnity in
one state or territory for lands lost in
another. He answers both questions in
the affirmative. The opinion is dated
January II, 1855, and it was really ready
to send to the Interior Department at
that time, but at the request of Secretary
Villas 1t was withheld. The Attorney
General goes over the language of the
granting act and the supplementary joint
resolution of 1870, and shows that the
latter was intended as additional legis-
iation further to insure building of the
road, which was at the time IN a con-
dition Of suspended animation. 1t was
the purpose of Congress to hold out to
the road, further inducements for con-
struction, and, recognizing tne fact that
settlers had taken much OF the lands
within the first indemnity belt after the
act of 1854, had given the road its grant
and before the lands could be withdrawn
by the Interior Department. Congress
desired to make up for this loss by allow.
ing additional indemnity rights In re-
gard to the second intorrogatory the
Acknowledgement says that in the grant
ing act no state or territory is named,
except as the starting point and terminus
of the road, and he does not feel author
lied to interpolate any further instruc-
tions than the act warrants. He there
fore decides the question in the affir-
native.
The commander OF Stephenson Post of
the Grand Army at Springfield, Ill, an.
nounced at a meeting last week that
comrade John NJ. Palmer had asked for
and received an honorable discharge
from the order. Gen. Palmer, who was
candidate for Governor on the democra.
tic ticket in the recent election, was the
first Department Commander for the
State of Illinois, and was ex officio Com
mander.in-C Chief of the United States. 1t
is said that he bases his withdrawal up
on an alleged violation of the Constitu-
ton and ritual, charging that the order
has been perverted to political purposes.
Much regret was expressed among local
Grand Army men.

The side. walk matter might be made
an endless subject of discussion, but the
CHRONICLE has weighter subjects to deal
with, Iuatters of more importance to our
farmers who make up the majority of its
readers. However, pending the disposal
of this matter, through the medium of
the courts. the CHRONICLE still holds its
original opinion regarding the matter
and re-iterates its statement that the
notice 30 conspiciouslv posted was en-.
tirely unnecessary as it did not remove
one iota Of the city's responsibility for
personal injury-if the city is responsi-
BILE for anything.

day. The bank fronts on Wall street and, directly opposite the entrance, Mid- dle street stretches away to the north, affording easy access from East Bridge port, the surrounding country and every where else. Every advantage enjoyed by the Main street establishments may be found here; municipal Improvements are the same and nothing contributing to the perfect equipment of the bank has been left undone.
 When organized in 1854, with capital of $l00,000, it was known as the Bridge port City bank and Adam P. Houston was president. In 1859, the capital was increased to $200,000 and in 1865, four years after removing to it's present loca- tion, it was recognized under it's pres ent name, the City National bank.
 T building erected in 1861 was re- garded as one of the best equipped bank ing establishments of the day and so it was; but new ideas and new and better appliances were developed as the years went by. With all of these the bank and it's officers have kept pace and are now equipped for many year to come.

History of the Bank.

The City National bank was started in small way over the old post office building on the north side of Bank street, short distance east of Main. It was afterward removed to the corner of Wall and Water streets, where Vessels Brothers now carry on the wholesale produce trade. In 1861, large and commodious building was erected on Wall street at the foot of Middle and here the bank has since remained, stead
 lily increasing in wealth, power and pop It's location is quite as desira- blc as If on Main street, for it is but half n short block from that busy thorough fare and from Water street, it's parallel companion in the business traffic of the
