PAUL, FRIDAY, OPT. 8. 1880. $8»9. -—_—-—--=. Wasbbubm must (to. GaLIFOBHI* will, according to John Rus- sell Young, take her one from the East as far as polities are considered. California has been taking the queue from the Chinese heretofore. Thb Republican papers, finding that Han- oook is invulnerable, are now making savage assaults upon Mr. English, the Democratic candidate for Vice President As, according to Republican testimony, Mr. English lives In an iron-clad room, their assaults will not be apt to dc him a great deal of harm. Notwithstanding the defeat of the Re- publican party in Maine gold continues to flow into the country. It is evident that foreign investors do not agree with the Mantalinis of the Republican party that the oountry is going to the deinnition bow-wows in case of a Democratic victory in Novem- ber. About twice a week the readers of the daily newspapers are greeted with flaming capitals that announce "An Attack on English." The attack is generally very viru- lent, if the English language is meant, though it is possible that the Democratic candidate for Yioe President is the party for whom the attack is intended. "Oxx of the arguments used in favor of Hancock" is the opening sentence of scores of editorials in Republican newspapers now a-days. But the arg intents are so numer- ous that is impossible to keep track or give a recapitulation of them. The fact is that all the newspapers in the country could not find space, from now till election day, for the arguments in favor of the election of Hancock. The campaign in Indiana and Ohio has practically ended. The great demonstrations have been held, and all the meetings of the future will be only local in their character. The speakers from abroad have retired from the field, and results now rest with the peo- ple of the respective States. That they will do their duty admits of no doubt, for they are patriotic and honorable. They will sustain the Damooratio ticket by ma- jorities that have heretofore been unprece- dented in the history of the States. A PARTY OF FALSE PRETENSES. The Republican party is a party of false pretenses. For years it has claimed to pos- sess all the honesty, all the morality, all the intelligence of the country. It has claimed that it saved the Union against the oombined forces of the Southern rebels and the North- ern Democrats, when it is well known to every intelligent person that the Union army contained more Democrats than Republi- cans. It has laid great store by its honesty, and yet the statistics on file in the treasury department prove either that it has been grossly dishonest or terribly extravagant. The most prodigal of Democratic} admin- istrations was that just proceeding the war— Bcohanan's. During the four years of his incumbency of the Presidential office the ex- penses of the government were $219,297,309, or an average of nearly fifty-five millions a year. This was, at that time, thought to be scandalous extravagance, and there were Borne who even charged dishonesty upon the administration. Under Republican admin- istrations, however, there has been a marked change. There has been collected during the domination of the Republican party the following sums: Mr. Lincoln's four years $ 660.067.955 Mr. Johnson's four years 1,640,601.675 Mr. Grant's first four years 1,388.950.963 Mr. Grant's second four years... 1,032.614,041) Mr. Hayes' three > ears 805,54'J,496 625,223,629 The Republican party also bor- rowed on notes and bonds..... 2,756,431,751 Total 88,381,655,380 Here is a difference with a vengeance. It will not answer to charge this increased cost of running the government to war expenses. There are but two accounts that can be properly said to belong to that category— interest on the public debt and pensions, which both amount to only -about a hundred millions annually. The remainder must be charged to extravagance or —probably a little of eaoh. The effiae holders have in- creased in the past nineteen years from less than twenty thousand to more than a hundred thousand, and their compensation has increased proportionately. It costs for collecting the revenue over ten millions a year. For the poor apology for a navy that we possess, the people have to pay over fif- teen millions a year. It costs over a thou- sand dollars a year for every soldier and offi- cer in the army, and nearly a million a month to sustain the postal service. The increase Shown Is partly legitimate but largely cannot be accounted for by the natural development of the oountry. This is a part of the financial record of the Republican party. It is not a record that can be pointed to with pride. It shows gross mismanagement or gross dishonesty, and whichever horn of the dilemma the de- fenders of the party may seize, the result will be equally disastrous. The people have grown weary of having their substance thrown away. They have patiently borne the burdens that have been imposed upon them in the past, but think it is about time for a change that will afford them slight re- lief. ', THB CONDUCTORS' CONTENTION. The railroad conductors of the United States and Oanadas closed their convention in this city last night and to-day dull care will be left behind and they,with their wives and families, will devote the few fleeting hours now remaining of their stay to ration- al recreation and the enjoyment of the beauties of nature as displayed in the great Northwest. Their visit here has been under the most favorable auspices, and their im- pressions of St. Paul and its . people are of the happiest, as wo know from their own lips, both privately and publicly. Mr. M. B. Waters yesterday spoke feelingly of their reception and treatment here, saying "I never met buch a hearty welcome, never ex- perienced such kindness from strangers in my life before." ' And our hospitality has not been abused. These conductors did " not come here for a "lark" and' a : "big time." Their mission was/first and foremost, to transact the business of their organization, next to enjoy themselves in a -reasonable sensible fashion. Their work has been done in a manner and spirit more than commend- able. It rarely falls to the lot of a news- paper reporter to sit two whole days in a deliberative assembly and he-ax cot a sylia. ble ofbickering, not a word of offense, not even a breath of reproach to any engaged in the various debates which spring up. Yet this has been the case in this convention. Here, as in the case of every other suoh as- semblage, were conflicting views and some clash of interests, but« all discussion was conducted with an order and decorum, a grave, courteous regard for the rights and feelings of each member in striking con- trast to the general practice, even in our State legislatures or the great national Bear Garden at Washington. In adjusting certain changes in the constitution there arose opinions as opposite as Zenith and Nadir; as various as the minds of men, yet there were no long-winded speeches, no injurious inuendoes, no imputations of sinis- ter motives, no charges of bad faith—-noth- ing but the sincereet harmony and good will through it all. These men bad received no special training as debaters; had probably never in their lives aspired to shine as ora- tors, yet their brief, concise, direot little speeches, of from no more than one to five minutes' duration, went to the root of the matter under consideration, and were models of diction and manly sense. Our political conventions and legislatures, 'even our re ligious conferences, could take a lesson from these cool, hard headed men of the world, with profit to their reputations and to the immeasurable improvement of their man- ners. f^[ It will be long before St. Paul sees another such a body oongregated here, and she is loth to part with the gentle- men of this association; would like to keep them with her always, but suoh good fortune cannot be, and so, gentlemen conductors of the United States and Oanadas, the Globe bids you good bye, with a sincere wish for your future prosperity and happiness, which is heartily echoed by every citizen of St. Paul who has made your acquaintance. The railway conductors have set an excel lent example to the men of St. Paul and Minnesota. They have brought their wives with them to enjoy their excursion, banquet and other festivities. The popular style in St. Paul is to ignore the ladies on suoh oc- casions. Railroad excursions and banquets without ladies are the rule in Minnesota and it is discreditable to the men who partici- pate that this is true. Business and public duties may require a man to go where his sex alone is admissible, but a festive oc- casion to which it is inappropriate for a man to take his wife, is unfit to be attended by the man himself. The railroad conductors have given no higher proof that they are gentlemen of intelligence and worthy of distinguished consideration than the faot that they repudiate the barbarian style of leaving the ladies at home while they enjoy themselves together.

William J. Parsons, appellant. Syllabus— title of chapter 67, laws of 1874, sufficiently expresses the subject of such chapter. . •'*."; '^ A justice of the peace of a town in Ramsey county may properly, within his own town, is- sue a Bummobs and entertain proceedings in forcible entry and detainer, though the parties to the proceeding reside in St. Paul, and the premises which are the subject of tho proceed- ings are within the precincts of such city. Appeal to the district court in forcible entry and detainer proceedings in the county of Ram- sey, may properly be brought to trial at the special term held every Saturday under and in presence of the order of said court, made on March 11th, 1876, and subsequently filed and entered ntinc pro tune as of that date, under said court's direction. The order refusing a new trial is affirmed. \u25a0_ Beery, J. George W. Harrington, appellant, vs. The Town of Plainview, T. G. Bolton, chairman of the board of supervisors of the town of Plain- view, O. E. Daniels and S. Struble as super- visors of said town, A. B. W. Norton as town clerk of said town and the Plainview railroad company, respondents. Syllabus—James vs. Cornish. 4N. W. Bep. 2, followed that an appeal will not be dis- missed when the judgment appealed from ad- judges costs against the appellant, on the (.fund that the questions in controversy have siuee the appeal beoome mere abstract ques- tions as between the parties. When a statute provides two modes, one valid and the other invalid, for authorizing the officers »f a municipal corporation to issue bonds of the corporation, inasmuch as the bonds when issued need recite only that they were issued under the statute, without specify- ing in which of the two modes the officers were authorized to issue them, and as there might be bona fide holders of bonds so issued an action forinjunc- tion at the instance of a proper party will lie to restrain the issuance of the bonds by the municipal officers under the invalid mode provided by the statute. Under the constitution it is not competent for the legislature to authorize any person or class of persons other than the electors of the officers chosen by the electors of a town to determine what action requiring local taxation the town will take in any particular case. Wherefore, sec. 7, of eh. 106, general laws of 1877, which assumed to empower a majority of the resident taxpayers, (without regard wheth- er they were electors or not) to bind a town to issue its bonds to aid in the construction of any railroad, was unconstitutional and void. Judgment reversed. \u25a0 Gilfillan, 0. J. The city of Winona, respondent, vs. Horace . Thompson and the Minnesota Railway Con- struction Company, appellants. Syllabus—Upon an appeal from a order re- fusing a new trial, this court cannot review an order of the court below allowing an amend- ment of the pleadings made previous to the commencement of the' trial, and not as a part of it. The construction given by this court in this case in 24 Minn., 199, of the contract between the parties, on which this action is baaed, ad- hered to. The contract between the parties providing for the issue of bonds by plaintiff, to be left in escrow, and delivered to defendant when cer- tain conditions should be performed within specified times, among others, if a railroad truss bridge should be constructed across the Mississippi river at Winona, within three years, the bonds to be returned to plaintiff if such bridge should not be constructed within said time. No other but a railroad truss bridge, even though as good or even better than such a bridge for the use intended, and even stronger of toe kind used at other points on the river, will meet the requirements of the con- tract. The aot of an acceptance of and acquies- cence in the bridge actually constructed, as a compliance with the eontraot, not being found by the court below, nor alleged in the plead- ing, and it not appearing that on trial it was treated as an issue. in the case and litigated, this court will not consider the evidence, though it may be very strong, tending to show such acceptance and acquiescence. — , Findings of fact on a former trial of th« case, they having been set aside and a new trial ordered, cannot be an estoppel ai to the facts as found on the second trial. j A judgment on, the same issues, in an action by one through whom this defendant does not claim, against this plaintiff, is no estoppel as to such issues in this aotion. The structure in question being composed In part of trusses, and it beinsr a litigated j ques- tion whether under the trestles wa* river or an island, one party contending that the whole under both trusses and trestles was river, and the other patty that under the trestles was island, it was improper toask an \u25a0 expert' wit- ness called to j testify to the character this question, "Was that bridge constructed as yon have described it, a truss railroad bridge across the Mississippi at Winona?" because it in- volved the witnesses' opinion or determination of whether under the structure was wholly river or partly river and partly island— a matter for expert evidence. Order affirmed. Gilfilla.v, 0. J. Jacob Estelle, respondent, vs. the Village of Lake Chrystal, appellant. Syllabus—lf a municipal corporation know- ingly permits in a public street a structure such as a platform, to be used by the public as a part of the street, placed there by a private person to remain and to be so used, it is its duty to sea that it is in safe condition to be used by the public as a part of the streets, and this is so though the structure be not in the most usually traveled portion of the street. Previous knowledge of the unsafe condition for use of finch a structure from its not. being provided with railings or guards to prevent per-.. sons walking or falling off, on the part of one' injured in consequence of such unsafe condi- tion, does not conclusively show negligence on bis part, but is evidence of negligence to be considered by the jury with the other circum- stances of the case. Order affirmed. . Gilfillan, G. J. Daniel Jones,(appellant, vs. August Badatz and Ferdinand Badatz, respondents. Syllabus— note negotiable in form but which stipulates for payment, of reasonoble at- torney's fees if suit be instituted for its collec- tion, is not a negotiable note, so as to pass to a purchaser berore maturity and without notice, free from defences by the maker. ad men affirmed. ..

Tried by j ury and a ver- dict of not guilty rendered. United States vs. John Frowsbang; indicted for selling liquor to Indians.

To the Honorable, the District Court for Ram- sey County, in the State of Minnesota, the Hon. H. R. Brill, presiding judge thereof: The grand jury of said county hereby respect- fullyreport that they have decided, by a unan- imous vote, not to appoint the usual commit- tees for the investigation of county affairs jail, poor Bouse and hospital—as former grand juries have made elaborate reports heretofore, and that little or no attention has been paid to any recommendations. We therefore deem it unnecessary. All of which is respectfully submitted. J. O. Boyden, Foreman. St. Paul, Oct. 7, 1880. Judge Wilkin called the attention of the jury to the instructions given them as part of then duty, to visit the public institutions, when they retired and shortly returned into court and made the following additional re- port: To the Honorable the District Court: We, the grand jury, respectfully state to your honor that having respectfully taken into consideration the remarks of the court relative to visiting the public institutions, deem that they are complying with the spirit of the law more fully and more perfectly by calling the attention of the proper officers to the elaborate report of the last and proceeding grand juries, and earnestly request that the proper county and city officers carry out the recommendations and suggestions contained in their report. Respectfully, J. C. Boydex, Foreman. St. Paul, Oct. 7, 1880. The report was accepted, and after thanking the jury for their services, they were dis- charged by the court. The court then took up the cases on the civil calendar set for hearing yesterday. The case of John W. Reeves vs. Samuel May- all, was argued and submitted. - ~ The case of Peter Renter vs. Hubert Pothen, was tried before a jury and occupied the time of the court until adjournment.

[Special Telegram to the Globe.] Gltn»on, Oct. 7.—A fire totally destroyed the Glyndon house in an hour this morning. Shortly before 3 o'clock a man was seen run- nig from the hotel.

P. , Swenson is doing the work of a Sampson among his fellow countrymen for the Democratic cause. The painters began work on the Academy of Music, yesterday, to supercede the old yellow paint by a coat of drab. Barnard & Cope will build a fire proof struc- ture to take the place of the engine house burned Wednesday night. The board of directors of the W. O. A. will hold a session at their rooms, 224 Hennepin avenue, at 3 o'clock to-day. For some reason the water main on Bayals- ton avenue was not laid low enough and it willhave to be settled to its proper depth. \u25a0 .. Another meeting of the Hancock and Eng- lish club will occur at the Democratic head- quarters, 203 Nioollet avenue this evening. A getleman of this city is in receipt of a letter from . a party in Indiana, which counts the Democrats a 10,000 majority in November.

The Chicago, St. Paul & Milwaukee Railroad company have concluded to so construct their new iron bridge on the Short line, that it can be used an a public highway for pedestrians and vehicles. D. M. Chborn & Co. are already at work con- structing their agricultural warehouse block en Washington avenue south. The building will be 96x100 feet, and will add much to that por- tion of the city. The Catholic Fair for the benefit "of the Church of the Holy Rosary, under the manage- ment of a large corps of young ladies, drew a large house last night. It will be continued throughout the week. Mr. Alfred Backduhl, a prominent Scandi- navian Democrat of this city, has recently re- turned from a three months" visit in the East, and will take an active part in Scandinavian Hancock and English club work.

A large package has been received in this city. Not only is the 0., M. & St. P. company obliged to enlarge its freight depot.but its bag- gaga facilities have also become' too small. Work was begun yesterday on an addition to the north baggage house, 30x32 feet in size, to be substantially constructed of stone, like the present one. It is stated that one of the firm of Camp & Walker, of the Pacific mills, was recently show- ing a friend the building, and made, the re- mark that the fire exiinguinhine apparatus was so complete that it would be impoAtible for the mill to take fire and be burned. Fire is an un- certain element to deal with. The Camp & Walker mill, which has recent- ly been overhauled, and the newest and most practicable style of saw mill machinery put in, it is said to be the mo it complete institu- tion of the kind in the West. Its capacity was 130,000 feet of lumber per day of ten hours. But this ratio has been greatly increas- ed of late by running over hours. The Greenback county committee will hold a meeting in the office of the National Repub- lican next Sunday.

At this meeting the plans for the county canvass will be laid out. \u25a0 The indications point toward an enthusiastic and effective rally at the Scandinavian Han- cook and English club this evening. The books of the club are receiving a large | number of signatures daily, by the leading Scandinavians of the city. It is now a formidable organiza- tion, and will result in a power for good, as the November struggle will verify- - Come out and visit them tonight. ANOTHER REPORT. The Investigating Committee Again Speak —No More Breakers for the Auditor Until After Election—A Small Tail to a Big Kite. An adjourned meeting of the county com. missioners was held yesterday. It was 2:30 when a quorum was got together. Nearly all the afternoon was occupied by a rambling dis- cussion over the location of a highway through land owned by W. W. McNair, some distance out of the city and sit uated on the line of the Oa?eo branch. The matter was finally referred to a committee to act with the supervisors. Before adjournment Commissioner Lydiard said he had a report to present, and remarked that the board could hardly have a meeting without some kind ot a "report." The report begins by saying that pending the opinion of the county attorney as to conducting j the investigation, and pending their final report, the public demand a response to the repoit of the auditor submitted at the last meeting. It says be states four cased where he j has abated the interest and penalty of taxes, aggregating a large sum, and that an abatement of a pen- alty is nothing more nor less than an abate- ment of the tax. It states the auditor has ad- mitted all the specific charges made .in their first report. It believes all should .be treated alike, and that one taxpayer should not be fa- vored at the expense -of others. . No one jj is charged with corruption, but if the auditor is allowed the power of abating one tax, be might abate others for a consideration. The system is claimed to be wrong, and Examiner Knoxis attacked for not taking steps to make it better. If the commissioners abate a tax, the people have means of appeal; but there is no appeal from the auditor. Concluding, it makes a thrust at Commissioner Austin for not acting with them, and states that they will make no report until after election, as it might be con- sidered as a political document. It is a little difficult to imagine why this re- port was made. It contains nothing new. If the auditor has admitted the substance of the charges against him, - .tho people needed no j\u25a0 • i "response" ;- from \u25a0. the : committee. 5 If ': the .- charges against the auditor have been proven, why should the committee make another statement in the nature of a de- fence. It must be considered as a defense, for no additional charges are made the contra- ry, it is not bo severe as the original . report— and because it tells what they propose to do, and what they propose to meet, in order that the people may take no alarm. But the peo- ple are waiting for something else. They now want something besides the abatement of four taxes. The committee promised their first re- port was only the beginning. No one wants tbem to intrench T&emnelves but to go forth and strike right and left. v--- --\u25a0 The original \u25a0': report Bald fraud bad been "committed with the knowledge of• the men now in office." ; They now I accuse no one of fraud, but attack the system. The system is. not what the people are after just now. i Sys- tems can't be changed in a moment. But hon- est men are wanted in effuse. - An \u25a0 eleotion is , near at hand, and ifbad men are up for office, they should be defeated. • The greatest blunder of this report, however, is the statement that nothing further will be done until after election, as it might have a political' significance. : What is all this rumpus- in county affairs about? It was i supposed - it was to show op dishonesty and thereby secure the THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE, FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER I 1830, election of honest men. , Yet here they propose to let the matter rest until after election, and this in the face of the fact that the auditor who has been the recipient of very grave charges by them, is again a candidate for the office. »If the auditor has been guilty of many other things, as hinted, the people should be notified and the . man defeated. To hold the facts from the people nntil after he la -elect- ed, is a new way of preventing corruption, and a way not likely to receive the appreciation of the people. \u25a0 3 The committee have thus taken a long step toward the triumph of McDonald and the. Re- publicans in November, and a step that cannot be retraced. They have greatly belittled a sub- ject that at first seemed to demand the prompt attention of 10,000 voters; \u25a0•,- It is not four cases of unlawful conduct that the people care about, but it is the general conduct of McDon- ald as auditor of the county. .-, . ,-.-. Still to-day's leport does not help McDonald so much as it hurts, the committee. Greater things - were *' expected' in view i of - - what i- has - been said heretofore... Enough has jbeen Ishown of Mr McDonald to arouse the suspicion of the peo- ple against him, bat not to seriously endan- ger his chances of suocess. A man who goes beyond the law four times is liable to do so many times, and this is what required investi- gation and the light of day. 1 .'..;'-.-".'.",' *\u25a0';- ' i ,>. THE M. X CONFERENCE.

Presiding Elder Gossard, and the various clergy of the city, were appointed a , committee on public wor- ship. : Dr. Hitchcock then made an address in the interest! of the Freedmen's Aid society. ~ The report of the biblical institute was re- ferred to the committee on education. In answer to a call for the reports of districts by presiding elders, Rev. Daniel Oobb, presid- ing elder of Owatonna district, presented his report. He criticised rather severely the sys- tem of certain preachers to .make- every pos- sible effort to secure appointments to large and wealthy churohen. He reported Albert Lea -as in an unusually prosperous: condition. This, he stated, was the condition of the whole |of his district save the eastern and southern por- tion, where they had been badly, embarrassed by poor crops. ! - .;.-»;..„.. Bey. Samuel Spates, of Owatonna, thought be had been aggrieved, but could not make the conference balieve It. The presiding elder of the Winona district, Bey. Dr. Johns who is president of Hamline university as well, now presented bis report. He asserted that Bey. Wm. MoKinley had de- serted his work as presiding elder and taken the pastorate of the Brooklyn church, without having given due notice of the same.:. After a little discussion of minor importance, Bishop Harris expressed the opinion that \it best be referred to a committee for investigation.. Mr. McEinley expressed his willingness to undergo a thorough investigation, and was confident of being pronounced guiltless of any intentional misdemeanor. Supernumerary relations were extended to Bartlett Blame. . \u25a0 J. W. Martin; presiding elder of Mankato district, was the next to report. His district is in a highly prosperous condition. . The bishop spoke at length on the question of granting Mr. Bork a certificate of location. Henry W. Pease here withdrew from the con- ference. . .:, Bey. J. B. Starkey, of the Bed River dis- trict, reported somewhat disparagingly of his district. Up-hill work on the exereme frontier. A cordial invitation was extended to mem- bers of the conference by Bey.

Before giving a statement of the \u25a0 condition and magnitude of the work, she spoke consid- erably at length on the I formidable difficulties and obstacles which had to be overcome before perfect success could attend their labors. That enlisted ia •' • the cause were many patient, untiring Christian women, who had unselfishly sacrificed home and society to give her life and \u25a0 energies to the noble work of saving the heathen. - The orty-thr c auxiliaries of last yesr had increased to fifty-Dine at the present time. Then umber of members had - increased in proportion. They bad ninety-sight life members who had paid 20 each. The amount of money raised, as now reported, is' $145,860. Several reports are yet to come in, which \u25a0.will undoubtedly considerably swell | the Itotal. Harmony and peace prevails throughout - the aaxilliaries.

The number now is fifty-two. She read several very interesting letters from ladies who were laboring in India, China, Japan and Af- rica. They all spoke encouragingly, and some enthusiastically ofresults attained. •- : Mrs. Bice then mads a lengthy report. She showed up some of the dark sides, . and men-, tioned the obstacles missionaries had i to con- tend with. She - related- several anecdotes, mentioning a lady she knew who had expressed herself as very sorry so many people had "bob- —she had none. She I a 1 no time to devote to "hobbies"— time was taken up at home. Now this was her \u25a0 hobby—home work. Mrs. Bice said she had a hobby and it was - mission- ary work. : \u25a0 . Mrs. Emily H. Miller ' -gave an extemporaneous addiess upon missionary work in general. She thought the manifest lack of interest in the cause was a lack of knowledge of it. If ladies were to read more and listen to more about it, it would be simply impossible for jthem to entertain anything but the deepest interest in the work. "Our periodicals are teaming with intelligence relative to it, her oe no excuse can be advanced : for not fully undcrstendinjr it." She related some touching incidents of the great rebellion.. of occurrences in the hospitals, and on battle- fields, etc. \u25a0" .::-.•.;.:-._•; .',.._~^ •••.. Dr. Van Anda then introduced Miss S. Trask, M. D. recently returned from her mission in Hone Kong, China. She gave a graphio de- scription of the country's customs and relig- ions of the Chinese. It lies in a latitude similar to our own, and enjoys the same varie- ties of soils, climate and productions. She spoke of the ' great wall of : solid '\u25a0'- masonry which bounds the country on the north. It would reach from Boston to Minneapolis. She' •bowed a pair of liliputian slippers, scarcely larger than would be worn by an ordinary doll, which had been worn -by a lady of jthe ordinary type of Chinese. She then presented a slipper still more diminutive, of the style worn by the ladies of the best societies. She gave a detailed description of the manner in which girls' feet were bandaged to compress them, and closed by speaking at length on the anoient religions of the country, . and £oli the heathen converts to the Christian faith. The address was listened to with deep interest. \u25a0 \u0084 The Common Council: ' .

Municipal Matters. The hardest looking crowd that has been seen in police court for some time were brought in yesterday morning. One man showed a broad wound on the cheek bone, an- other's face was speckledwith flesh cuts as though he had been near an explosion of grape shot, and a third presented even a worse spec- tacle. ; One : side of his face was swollen into huge proportions, entirely closing in his eye, and there was also a terrible gash on his fore- head. - Eight were present charged with intoxication, as follows: Martin Smith, H. H. Fulton, Hugh Glenn, Miobael Crawford, John Crane, Jas. McDonald. O. N. Duff and H. Beun. When the prisoner who showed such a horri- ble face was asked "guilty or not guilty," he said he guessed it was all right. The judge said it looked more as though it was all wrong. All plead guilty and were fined accordingly. BUSINESS INTERESTS. Money at New York Easy and Bates Low— . The Grain Market Depressed, and Provis- ions Sharing In the Decline—Live Stock Advancing.

    625,223,629The Republican party also bor-

    rowed on notes and bonds..... 2,756,431,751

    Total 88,381,655,380Here is a difference with a vengeance. It

    willnot answer to charge this increased costof running the government to war expenses.There are but two accounts that can beproperly said to belong to that category—interest on the public debt and pensions,which both amount to only-about a hundred millions annually.The remainder must be chargedto extravagance or —probably alittle of eaoh. The effiae holders have in-creased in the past nineteen years from lessthan twenty thousand to more than ahundred thousand, and their compensationhas increased proportionately. It costs forcollecting the revenue over ten millions ayear. For the poor apology for a navy thatwe possess, the people have to pay over fif-teen millions a year. It costs over a thou-sand dollars a year for every soldier and offi-cer in the army, and nearly a million a monthto sustain the postal service. The increaseShown Is partly legitimate but largely cannotbe accounted for by the natural developmentof the oountry.

    This is a part of the financial record oftheRepublican party. Itis not a record thatcan be pointed to with pride. It showsgross mismanagement or gross dishonesty,and whichever horn of the dilemma the de-fenders of the party may seize, the resultwillbe equally disastrous. The people havegrown weary of having their substancethrown away. They have patiently bornethe burdens that have been imposed uponthem in the past, but think it is about timefor a change that will afford them slight re-lief. ',

    THB CONDUCTORS' CONTENTION.The railroad conductors of the United

    States and Oanadas closed their conventionin this city last night and to-day dull carewillbe left behind and they,with their wivesand families, will devote the few fleetinghours now remaining of their stay to ration-al recreation and the enjoyment of thebeauties ofnature as displayed in the greatNorthwest. Their visit here has been underthe most favorable auspices, and their im-pressions of St. Paul and its . people are ofthe happiest, as wo know from their ownlips, both privately and publicly. Mr. M.B. Waters yesterday spoke feelingly of theirreception and treatment here, saying "Inever met buch a hearty welcome, never ex-perienced such kindness from strangers inmy lifebefore." '

    And our hospitality has not been abused.These conductors did " not comehere for a "lark" and' a : "bigtime."Their mission was/first and foremost, totransact the business of their organization,next to enjoy themselves in a -reasonablesensible fashion. Their work has been donein a manner and spirit more than commend-able. Itrarely falls to the lot of a news-paper reporter to sit two whole days in adeliberative assembly and he-ax cot a sylia.

    ble ofbickering, not a word of offense, noteven a breath of reproach to any engaged inthe various debates which spring up. Yetthis has been the case in this convention.Here, as in the case of every other suoh as-semblage, were conflicting views and someclash of interests, but« all discussion wasconducted with an order and decorum, agrave, courteous regard for the rights andfeelings of each member in striking con-trast to the general practice, even in ourState legislatures or the great national BearGarden at Washington. In adjustingcertain changes in the constitutionthere arose opinions as opposite as Zenithand Nadir; as various as the minds of men,yet there were no long-winded speeches, noinjurious inuendoes, no imputations ofsinis-ter motives, no charges of bad faith—-noth-ing but the sincereet harmony and good willthrough it all. These men bad received nospecial training as debaters; had probablynever in their lives aspired to shine as ora-tors, yet their brief, concise, direot littlespeeches, of from no more than one to fiveminutes' duration, went to the root of thematter under consideration, and were modelsof diction and manly sense. Our politicalconventions and legislatures, 'even our religious conferences, could take a lesson fromthese cool, hard headed men of the world,with profit to their reputations and to theimmeasurable improvement of their man-ners. f^[

    Itwillbe long before St. Paul sees anothersuch a body oongregated here, and sheis loth to part with the gentle-men ofthis association; would like to keepthem with her always, but suoh good fortunecannot be, and so, gentlemen conductors ofthe United States and Oanadas, the Globebids you good bye, with a sincere wish foryour future prosperity and happiness, whichis heartily echoed by every citizen of St.Paul who has made your acquaintance.

    The railway conductors have set an excellent example to the men of St. Paul andMinnesota. They have brought their wiveswith them to enjoy their excursion, banquetand other festivities. The popular style inSt. Paul is to ignore the ladies on suoh oc-casions. Railroad excursions and banquetswithout ladies are the rule in Minnesota andit is discreditable to the men who partici-pate that this is true. Business and publicduties may require a man to go wherehis sex alone is admissible, but a festive oc-casion to which it is inappropriate for a manto take his wife, is unfit to be attended bythe man himself. The railroad conductorshave given no higher proof that they aregentlemen of intelligence and worthy ofdistinguished consideration than the faotthat they repudiate the barbarian style ofleaving the ladies at home while they enjoythemselves together.

    THE COURTS.

    Supreme Court.Frederick J. Hoffman, respondent, vi. William

    J. Parsons, appellant.Syllabus— title of chapter 67, laws of

    1874, sufficiently expresses the subject of suchchapter. . •'*."; '^A justice of the peace of a town in Ramseycounty may properly, within his own town, is-sue a Bummobs and entertain proceedings inforcible entry and detainer, though the partiesto the proceeding reside in St. Paul, and thepremises which are the subject of tho proceed-ings are within the precincts of such city.

    Appeal to the district court inforcible entryand detainer proceedings in the county of Ram-sey, may properly be brought to trial at thespecial term held every Saturday under and inpresence of the order of said court, made onMarch 11th, 1876, and subsequently filed andentered ntinc pro tune as of that date, undersaid court's direction.

    The order refusing a new trial is affirmed.\u25a0_

    Beery, J.

    George W. Harrington, appellant, vs. The Townof Plainview, T. G. Bolton, chairman of theboard of supervisors of the town of Plain-view, O. E. Daniels and S. Struble as super-visors of said town, A. B. W. Norton astown clerk of said town and the Plainviewrailroad company, respondents.Syllabus—James vs. Cornish. 4N. W. Bep.

    2, followed that an appeal will not be dis-missed when the judgment appealed from ad-judges costs against the appellant, on the(.fund that the questions in controversy havesiuee the appeal beoome mere abstract ques-tions as between the parties.

    When a statute provides two modes, onevalid and the other invalid, for authorizing theofficers »f a municipal corporation to issuebonds of the corporation, inasmuch as thebonds when issued need recite only that theywere issued under the statute, without specify-ing in which of the two modes theofficers were authorized to issuethem, and as there might be bona fideholders ofbonds so issued an action forinjunc-tion at the instance of a proper party will lieto restrain the issuance ofthe bonds by themunicipal officers under the invalid modeprovided by the statute.

    Under the constitution it is not competentfor the legislature to authorize any person orclass of persons other than the electors of theofficers chosen by the electors of a town todetermine what action requiring local taxationthe town will take in any particular case.

    Wherefore, sec. 7, of eh. 106, general laws of1877, which assumed to empower a majority ofthe resident taxpayers, (without regard wheth-er they were electors or not) to bind a town toissue its bonds to aid in the construction ofany railroad, was unconstitutional and void.

    Judgment reversed. \u25a0 Gilfillan, 0. J.

    The city of Winona, respondent, vs. Horace. Thompson and the Minnesota Railway Con-

    struction Company, appellants.Syllabus—Upon an appeal from a order re-

    fusing a new trial, this court cannot review anorder of the court below allowing an amend-ment of the pleadings made previous to thecommencement of the' trial, and not as a partof it.

    The construction given by this court in thiscase in 24 Minn., 199, of the contract betweenthe parties, on which this action is baaed, ad-hered to.

    The contract between the parties providingfor the issue of bonds by plaintiff, to be leftin escrow, and delivered to defendant when cer-tain conditions should be performed withinspecified times, among others, if a railroadtruss bridge should be constructed across theMississippi river at Winona, within three years,the bonds to be returned to plaintiff if suchbridge should not be constructed within saidtime.

    No other but a railroad truss bridge, eventhough as good or even better than such abridge forthe use intended, and even strongerof toe kind used at other points on the

    river, willmeet the requirements of the con-tract.

    The aot of an acceptance of and acquies-cence in the bridge actually constructed, as acompliance with the eontraot, not being foundby the court below, nor alleged in the plead-ing, and it not appearing that on trial it wastreated as an issue. in the case and litigated,this court will not consider theevidence, thoughit may be very strong, tending to show suchacceptance and acquiescence. — ,Findings of fact on a former trial of th«case, they having been set aside and a newtrial ordered, cannot be an estoppel ai to thefacts as found on the second trial. j

    A judgment on, the same issues,in an action by one throughwhom this defendant does not claim,against this plaintiff, is no estoppel as to suchissues in this aotion.

    The structure in question being composed Inpart of trusses, and itbeinsr a litigated j ques-tion whether under the trestles wa* river oran island, one party contending that the wholeunder both trusses and trestles was river, andthe other patty that under the trestles wasisland, itwas improper toask an \u25a0 expert' wit-ness called to j testify to the character thisquestion, "Was that bridge constructed as yonhave described it, a truss railroad bridge acrossthe Mississippi at Winona?" because it in-volved the witnesses' opinion or determinationof whether under the structure was whollyriver or partly river and partly island— amatter for expert evidence.

    Order affirmed. Gilfilla.v, 0. J.

    Jacob Estelle, respondent, vs. the Village ofLake Chrystal, appellant.Syllabus—lf a municipal corporation know-

    ingly permits in a public street a structuresuch as a platform, to be used by the public asa part of the street, placed there by a privateperson to remain and to be so used, it is itsduty to sea that it is in safe condition to beused by the public as a part of the streets, andthis is so though the structure be not in themost usually traveled portion of the street.

    Previous knowledge of the unsafe conditionforuse offinch a structure from its not. beingprovided with railings or guards to prevent per-..sons walking or falling off, on the part of one'injured in consequence of such unsafe condi-tion, does not conclusively show negligence onbis part, but is evidence of negligence to beconsidered by the jury with the other circum-stances of the case.

    Order affirmed. . Gilfillan, G. J.Daniel Jones,(appellant, vs. August Badatz

    and Ferdinand Badatz, respondents.Syllabus— note negotiable in form but

    which stipulates for payment, of reasonoble at-torney's fees ifsuit be instituted for its collec-tion, is not a negotiable note, so as to pass to apurchaser berore maturity and without notice,free from defences by the maker.

    ANOTHER REPORT.

    The Investigating Committee Again Speak—No More Breakers for the Auditor UntilAfterElection—A Small Tail to a BigKite.Anadjourned meeting of the county com.

    missioners was held yesterday. It was 2:30when a quorum was got together. Nearly allthe afternoon was occupied by a rambling dis-cussion over the location of a highway throughland owned by W. W. McNair, some distanceout of the city and sit uated on the line oftheOa?eo branch. The matter was finally referredto a committee to act with the supervisors.

    Before adjournment Commissioner Lydiardsaid he had a report to present, and remarkedthat the board could hardly have a meetingwithout some kind ot a "report." The reportbegins by saying that pending the opinion ofthe county attorney as to conducting j theinvestigation, and pending their final report,the public demand a response to the repoit ofthe auditor submitted at the last meeting. Itsays be states four cased where he j has abatedthe interest and penalty of taxes, aggregatinga large sum, and that an abatement of a pen-alty is nothing more nor less than an abate-ment of the tax. It states the auditor has ad-mitted all the specific charges made .in theirfirst report. Itbelieves all should .be treatedalike, and that one taxpayer should not be fa-vored at the expense -of others. . No one jj ischarged with corruption, but if the auditor isallowed the power of abating one tax, be mightabate others for a consideration. The system isclaimed to be wrong, and Examiner Knoxisattacked for not taking steps to make it better.If the commissioners abate a tax, the peoplehave means of appeal; but there is no appealfrom the auditor. Concluding, it makes athrust at Commissioner Austin for not actingwith them, and states that they willmake noreport until after election, as it might be con-sidered as a political document.

    Itis a little difficultto imagine why this re-port was made. Itcontains nothing new. Ifthe auditor has admitted the substance of thecharges against him, - .tho people neededno j\u25a0• i "response" ;- from \u25a0. the :committee. 5If ': the .- charges against the auditorhave been proven, why should the committeemake another statement in the nature of a de-fence. Itmust be considered as a defense, forno additional charges are made the contra-ry, itis not bo severe as the original . report—and because it tells what they propose to do,and what they propose to meet, in order thatthe people may take no alarm. But the peo-ple are waiting for something else. They nowwant something besides the abatement of fourtaxes. The committee promised their first re-port was only the beginning. No one wantstbem to intrench T&emnelves but to go forthand strike right and left. v---

    --\u25a0 The original \u25a0': report Bald fraud bad been"committed with the knowledge of• the mennow in office." ; They now I accuse no one offraud, but attack the system. The system is.not what the people are after just now. i Sys-tems can't be changed in a moment. But hon-est men are wanted in effuse. - An \u25a0 eleotion is,near at hand, and ifbad men are up for office,they should be defeated. •

    The greatest blunder of this report, however,is the statement that nothing further will bedone until after election, as it might have apolitical' significance. : What is allthis rumpus- in county affairsabout? It was i supposed - it wasto show op dishonesty and thereby secure the

    THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE, FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER I 1830,

    election of honest men. , Yet here they proposeto let the matter rest until after election, andthis in the face of the fact that the auditorwho has been the recipient of very gravecharges by them, is again a candidate for theoffice.»If the auditor has been guiltyof manyother things, as hinted, the people should benotified and the .man defeated. To hold thefacts from the people nntil after he la -elect-ed, is a new way of preventing corruption, anda way not likely to receive theappreciation ofthe people. \u25a0

    3 The committee have thus taken a long steptoward the triumph of McDonald and the. Re-publicans in November, and a step that cannotbe retraced. They have greatly belittled a sub-ject that at first seemed to demand the promptattention of 10,000 voters; \u25a0•,- It is not four casesof unlawful conduct that the people careabout, but itis the general conduct of McDon-ald as auditor of the county. .-, . ,-.-.

    Stillto-day's leport does not help McDonaldso much as it hurts, the committee.Greater things - were *' expected' inview i of - -what i- has - been saidheretofore... Enough has jbeen Ishown of MrMcDonald to arouse the suspicion of the peo-ple against him, bat not to seriously endan-ger his chances of suocess.

    ! Municipal Matters.The hardest looking crowd that has been seen

    in police court for some time werebrought in yesterday morning. One manshowed a broad wound on the cheek bone, an-other's face was speckledwith flesh cuts asthough he had been near an explosion of grapeshot, and a third presented even a worse spec-tacle. ; One : side of his face was swollen intohuge proportions, entirely closing in his eye,and there was also a terrible gash on his fore-head. -Eight were present charged with intoxication,as follows: Martin Smith, H. H. Fulton, HughGlenn, Miobael Crawford, John Crane, Jas.McDonald. O. N. Duff and H. Beun.

    When the prisoner who showed such a horri-ble face was asked "guilty or not guilty," hesaid he guessed it was all right. The judgesaid it looked more as though it was all wrong.

    Allplead guilty and were fined accordingly.
