TIIE MINNESOTA DECISION- The supreme coiirt of Minnesota 1ms rendered nil Important decision rolaliva to the debt of 18fi ! ) , which has practicallybcon repudiated by that stnto for a number of yonrs past. The last logislatnro by special act crcalod n commission to decide upon the va lidily of the disputed bonds and the bondholders had also agreed to sub mil their claims to the commission nnd accept in full payment fifty per cent of the amount duo them , if its decision * should provo to bo in their favor. In I860 an nmnndmot was sub milled to the people of Minnesota and ratified by a large majority , by which the legislature was forbidden to levy a iy lax for the pnjment of the de faulted bonds without the sanction of a popular vole. The legislative act of last winter , passed at the instance of the owners of the bonds , was dc signed lo effect n settlement of the matter without submitting the qucs lion to the people. Recognizing this , a number of the parties opposed to the payment of the bonds under anjj conditions , applied to the supreme court to decide the validity of the act which was in conflict witli the constitutional amendment. It was defended on the grounds that the amendment itself was void because - cause in conflict with the national constitution , which prohibitfl the 1m pairment of contracts by the ntato. While upholding this viowof the debt payers the supreme court of Mimic sola went further and enunciated an opinion , which is highly important be cause applicable to every net of repu diation , legislative or constitutional , in Minnesota or other states. The court annulled the act of last winter as conferring legislative power upon the special commission. They declared in effect that it is not compo nent cither for the legislature or for ho people of n state by constitutional amendment or ordinary enactment to mpair the obligation of the state to Is creditors. As the matter now stands the legis- nturo of Minnesota's free to provide or thoj payment of the debt , princi- ml and interest. It is not probable , lowovcr , that public opinion willnsyot ustify such action. The people of tlinncsota have heretofore obstinnto- y refused to take any action looking pwardu the repayment of the bonds n question and in some districts rop- csontativcs would fail of an election on the issue of a fulfillment of the ob- igations of the state. Great pressure s being brought through the press , ioubtless at the instance of the hold- rs of this scrip , to create a sentiment n favor of wiping out what they call he disgrace of Minnesota. The St. 'aul Pioneer-Press calls for - an immo- iiato extra session of the legislature o * make appropriations to pay this lobt. Now wo never bavo favored epudiatinn In nay form , and never ntond to , but viewed from a lisinterostod standpoint , it ap- as if ths syndicate that holds hcso Minnesota bonds was making a > old and desperate strike for a bonan za. Last winter these speculators who in all probability had not paid en cents on the dollar for the Minne- scrip.oflorcd to sell for fifty cents iii the dollar. Now they propose to got dollar for dollar with interest that nay run up to moro than throe times .ho amount of the principal. If they can got the legislature convened they will doubtless bo able to oiler a w landsomo bonus for lobbying their ( claim through. It will bo a much greater disgrace to Minnesota to allow gang of speculating sharks to rob ler under cover of a supreme court decision than to continue under the j odium of repudiation by firmly refus- ng hasty legislation in the interest of hcso parties. 'Wo take it that the > eoplo ot Minnesota are just as anx- ous to meet their honest obligations as the people of Now York or Massa chusetts , and wo apprehend they will make fair settlement with their cred- tors in duo time when the next leg- slaturo meets. , Tun vacancy in congress caused by ho resignation of Congressman 1-Yyo , who was elected lust winter to the vacant seat of Senator Blaine , was lllcd last Monday by the election of thp republican candidate , Governor Dinyloy. There remain to bo elected Cl Four Now Yorkura in place of Lap- liam , Miller and Morton , republicans , resigned the two former to take Conkling and Platt'u places in the senate , the latter to accept the mis sion to France and Wood , deceased. Those will not bo chosen until the election in November. A democrat will bo chosen in Wood's place. Morion's district is doubtful , Lapham and Miller's are reasonably certain for the republicans. The number ot democrats in the house , It including Wood's seat , will bo 132 ; the number of republicans , conceding the other vacancies to them , will bo 147. The other seats , 1-1 in all , will bo mixed. William II. Forney of Ala- jama , Emory Spoor of Georgia , Goo. W , Jones of ' Texas , John Paul and Abram Fulkorson of Virginia , in are called independent democrats , loorgo W. Ladd , of Maine , and Jos. tfoagrove , of Pennsylvania , are de nominated greenback democrats. Thompson II , Murch , of Maine , and Nicholas Ford , of Nuw Jersey , are straight greonbackers. Ira S. Hazel * line , Thomas N. Ilico and J. If. Bur roughs , of Missouri , Hyatt Smith , of New York , and Charles N. Brumm , of Pennsylvania , are republican tqrccnbackcrs. The majority ol the straight caucus republicans dvor all opposition is ono , and strength can bo recruited from the republican green- backers who wish to stand well with the administration. TTicro is nodonbt , therefore , that if the oituation remain the same , the republicans will bo nblo to organize the next house. GovniiNoit FUUMO.VT , who is now on his way to Arizona , submitlcd n novel proposition for the sollling of the In dian question to the interior depart ment before starting for the west last week. Secretary Kirkwood is said to bo favorably impressed and disposed to urge the plan upon the government Governor Fromonts plan' is that the United States acquire from Mexico by purchase n largo tract of country in the northern part of California , on which all the bad Indiansof the north west may bo colonized. IForeprescnts that n chain of forta across the upper portion of the peninsula would effect ually keep the savages prisoners where they could bo fed by the government at an'agency established He thinks Mexico would bo willing to make the cession for the purpose , bccauso the ct territory t is worthless , . and that gov ernment has an much interest in put ting t the wild Indians where they can do no harm as has the United States , ay the Apaches and others make no distinction as to which side of the boundary they commit their outrages. TUB statistics of railroad earnings for August show a heavy increase ever the corresponding period lost year , the Union Pacific leadingtho list with $2,038,059 gross receipts , and 8725 , 624 greater earnings than for August 1880. For the entire eight months the increase is $20,810,087' or little loss than 1 ! ) per cent , while only four of the listed roads show a decrease. This exhibit is on interesting one , as indicating the increased volume of trade of the country. Although the crops which remain to bo moved this autumn nro somewhat leas than last , it is not deemed probable that the last quarter of 1881 will show any less proportionate gains than the preceding - coding period. The railroads are ma king money rapidly , and such as have not watered their stocks sufficiently to decrease the percentage of dividends are preparing to do so in order to con ceal from the public the enormous profits of a business which is support ed by extortionate imposts on the people - ple of the country. SECRETARY KIUKWOOD proposes to enforce civil service discipline on the novornora of the territories. These funr.timmrica are fr.r , the most part conspicuous for their absence from their posts of duty. Secretary Kirk- wood insists that hereafter the gover " nors must stay at their respective cap itals until they are relieved by the department , unless some extraordin ary emergency should arise that would justify their temporary absence. Governors Fremont , of Arizona and Ordway , of Dakota , fusnish two fla grant instances of this abuse and they Siavo boon notified in sharp and imperative - porativo orders that the interior de Sdci Sda Sd partment will not loloralo such con a duct. In all probability both of them cizi will bo requested to step down by the zin Lime j congress meets. n t THE victory of Iroquois , Lorillard's * famous racer , as chronicled elsewhere in our dispatches ends a season which nit nw tias boon full of triumph for the it American stables.

Iii spite of the tide of popular synv pathy with President Garfield , whicli carries the fortunes of the republican party along with it , democratic news , papers find daily encouragement ii : the republican split in Now York , the apathetic canvass In Ohio and the independent oppsition to theG'amoroi candidate in Pennsylvania , culminat ing in the Wolfe bolt. These three states hold one-fourth of the population of the country , am are as certain , unless the soutl becomes debatable ground , to bo the politic.il pivot of the country as dur ing the last eight years. With any one of thcso states democratic , the 4,000,000 democratic voters in the union can elect a president ; withou them , they cannot. Encouragomoir in these states is encouragement n the key of the situation ; but the diffi culty with the democratic party is thai it has reached the point where al' signs fail in a dry time. It has had its chance nnd lost it. Seven years ago , and seven years is half a generation in American tioli- tics , the congressional elections show ed that the democratic party had an overwhelming majority of the voters of the country. From a small minor ity in the house , a moro squad in the senate and next to no control over any state governments , the demo cratic party passed along from victory to victory , until it had its term ol power , briefer long , in both branches of the federal legislature nnd the chiol oxccutivo ot most of the important states of the Union. What was of oven more import ance than passing success , the demo cratic party began , for the first time in ( twenty years , to attract young and growing men. Tilden was the first democratic presidential candidate in a generation with numerous sympathiz ers in the colleges. Independent newspapers , like the Now Xork Tribune - uno of its saner days , gave democratic leaders a warm support. For a while the active , growing , reforming agencies ciesof politics gravitated to the dem ocratic party. So did the masses , instinctn .sounder than reason. Tilden received n popular majority of a quarter of a million. The democratic party had nothing to do to prolong and expand this blooming prospect , but to right open wrongs. Instead , it did nothing or did the wrong thing. Millions were squandered en pensions , but the tariff was left unrovised Patents , land , regulations and navigation laws were left unchanged while false issues were raised by meddling with the election laws. In legislation no jcivil service reform was at tempted and in practice democratic appointments becamea laughing stock. The party was expected to improve the currency , and instead it "precipitated a panic last winter by a false contraction. It preached econo my , and , after short and salutary reductions - ductions , practiced extravagance. Its record in state governments was as hopelessly incompetent as its work at Washington was wrong-headed. The ono serious democratic achievement in state administration during the past seven years has been Tildon's canal reform and in local government the reorganization of the democratic party in Now York city scheme still on trial and not to be compared with the work of the citi zens republican committee in Phila delphia. The result , the inevitable rrsult , ot all this has been that en thusiasm ) cooled , converts dropped off and ' wont back to their first lovp , the republican party. The dead weight of numbers remained democratic ; but when the vote was counted a year ago was found that the active , ' thinking " fraction , whoso votes are fired at a mark , had gone ever to the republi can sido. They-arc there now. They will remain there unless the republi can party again fails and goes dovvn in another panic. Meanwhile the demo cratic party may win elections hero and there , but it has bebind it no growing public sentiment , no rising tide of popular feeling. Fallacious signs may point to its success , but they will fail as they did last year. The very accidents are against the un successful and there is in politics no insurance against a loss of confidence , save in well doing and on that policy the democratic ! party refused to make good ita promises in the brief day of its power. Genornl Sherman and Gaitean- Chicago Times. The owlish solemnity with which General Sherman speaks of the absurd affair at the Washington juil on Sun day ovpning is excessively ludicrous. fact the whole management of Gui- tc.iu's imprisonment , ua well as this latest incident and the proceeings of of tlio authorities in connection with it , have been mirth-provoking whenever they have not been vicious. To bo- jin with , the fussy old general sent u th strong military guard to the prison , because ho was afraid to trust civilians n with the care of so important a per sonage as the assassin , Then , when soniogobbling idiots began to talk about assaulting thb jail and seizing Guiteau and hanging him , General Sherman , in 'reat alarm , concentrated a brigade of SI troops that should have been em ployed in fighting Indians to protect ho murderer from imagined danger. About this time Quitoau demonstrat his ability to take care of himself disarming nu" "early killing ono i'l his guards , who had imprudently ra ventured into his cell and didn't now how to shoot. Thp next event the history of the affair is the at- emptof ono of General Sherman's sergeants , said to bo ono of the best u marksmen in the army , who took do- wl iberato uim at the murderer-and wlh made a hole in coat on the other u aide of the coll. If the sergeant had tried to shoot somebody a dozen rods away , Guitcuu miirht have been moro in danger. And now the genera giavoly talks about cpurl-marttaling the entire guard bccauso one of tin men , in a fit of omotiona' insanity , wasted A cartridge 01 : the walls of tlio prison. "Tlio law will follow its course , " ho says , "precisely as if the sergeant hnd fired on an un offending citizen. * * * Hud the shooting been done by some insane ruffian , there might have been some excuse for it , but emanating as it du from the rank nnd file of the Unitet Slates army , I think it deserves the severest punishment. " Everybody but the general of the army ia perfectly aware , of course , that the sergeant was crazy , alid that if any notice is to be taken of the incident except to transfert him to the nearest lunatic asylum it should incite the military authorities to see that soldiers are bet tor trained in thouso nf their weapons Shooting at Guitoau may have been s breach of discipline , but to shoot and miss him was certainly a very grave offense. The prison authorities seem to bo even crazier about this paltry affair than the ganor.il or the sergeant. Guiteau has been removed to some mysterious cell , the location r > f which In Ii i only known to a confidential few , and all sorts of precautions for the saving of his miserable life from stray bullets have been proposed. Ono o ! these fitly "caps the climax" of the absurdities connected with the case. It is suggested , in all solemnity , thai n bullet proof receptacle for the pris oner might bu made out ol ono of the steam boilers in i the jail. If this idea did not originate iginato 1 with Guiteau himself , it must have ; been evolved from the prolific brain of General Sherman. The only additional ' 'moral" suggested by the acracant's eccentricity is that the military having now been proved as unreliable as common turnkeys or prison guards can bo , the soldiers might as well bo sent olt to the west , where proper employment awaits them , leaving the civil authorities to take care of the murderers in Wash ington.
