Janll.dJni TisbalQ. The following ia the Goveraor'a veto of the Land Iri vision bin, which was transmitted to the Senate at 10 o'clock a I State or Minnesota. Executive Depabtmext, St. Pact, March 2, 1871 7b the Legislature I have IhehdEor' to rstuxtt Terewith to the8enat.ia whush it originated, a bill entitled. "An act to dispose of the 500,000 acres of Internal Improvement Lands, in aid of internal improvements in the itate Minnesota." the same not meeting my approval for the reasons following First I am well convinced, and I think know to a moral certainty, that the act has not the free and voluntary consent of majority of both Houses, of the Legis It has, I admit, reeeived the nominal consent of a majority on the call of the roll, which entitles it to take on the forms of a final passage, bat it is also a well understood fact that that passage is the result of a combination by which members who would have otherwise voted against the measure considered themselves i compeiiea to support 11, ana aiu bu uuuu the conviction, if not by the express understanding, that other measure to which they Denevea tuemseives enuireu on their merits, or in the success of which they were interested, could not be passed unless their support, willing or unwilling, was given to this "Land Divide." Other members have been induced to do the same thing, on the promise, or with the understanding that measures which were obnoxious to them, would be defeated.

There are others who do not and have never believed in the wisdom of the policy of making the disposition of the lands contemplated in this bill, who, nevertheless, feared that by the manipulation of men who would be chiefly interested in procuring a division, and by the use of any means required for the purpose, a division would be made, hnvint? been driven to promise, and pive an unwilling support to the act under the threat of having such a partition enact ed as would exclude their constituents from any participation in the benefits, whatever might be the merits, claims or necessities of their immediate localities. I can never write the word arproved" to au act which I am fully convinced has been able to secure a majority only by these means. Perhaps the land can never be disposed of bv the Ijegislature without these incidents necessarily attend, bat for the credit of the State I will not admit it Second. I deem the provisions of this bill in conflict with the terms and spirit of the grant from the general government, under which the State derives her title to the land in question. That crant is to be found in sections eicht and nine of the act of Congress of September 4th, 111, entitled, "An act to appropriate the proceeds of the sales of public lands, and to grant pre-emption rights.

becuon nine reads as follows "Sec 0. And be it further enacted, that the lands herein granted to the States above named shall not be disposed of at a price less than one dollar and twenty-five cents per acre, until otherwise authorized ny tne law of the Umted States and the net proceeds of the Rales of said lands shall be faithfully applied to objects of internal improvements within the States aforesaid re spectively, namely; roads, railways, onrtges. canals and improvements of water courses and drainage of swamps." This act plainly and unmistakably contemplates that the lands 'ahal "fee sold by the Statea, and the proceeds) net the land in kind be applied to the specific objects. In this respect it differs from the terms of the grants of lands made March 3d, ltv7. It is not only the requirements of the grant that the State should hold the title to the lands until sold and converted into money.

but it is plainly for her interest to do so. Had the terms of all grants of land from the general government been the same, and been faithfully administered by the States, it would have been of incalculable advan tage to the people. One, and not the least of the objects of such grants is to furnish ready sale for the public lands, and to facilitate the rapid settlement of the country, as well as to procure the construction of the specified internal improvements. Were the State to grant the proceeds of the sales ol the public lands, and control the sale herself, the rights of the settler would be respected, the wild lands would be offered at reasonable rates, terms given which the men usually seeking the frontier lor homes would be able to comply with. and every acre would soon be open to set tlement and improvement.

Urant the lands themselves, and the roads, if ever built, will be sold out, and tbe lands retained, or go into other hands and be held at high prices on speculation. Those owning the road have no interest in so controll- in, to ig its management as to make it an object bay and improve the lands, and would not offer them on any terms that would fa cilitate their sale and rapid improvement lor the purpose of furnishing business to the road and developing the country. From this source the great land monopolies of tne est nave cmeny sprung, and another instalment will soon be upon us. Third. It appears to me that the lands are apportioned by the terms of this act largely on the basis of votes or political power, while the merits and necessities of projected lines of road, and other enfcer- prises, have been a secondary considera tion.

To the north half of the State there not an acre granted or reserved. The north and south line between ranges 29 and ju (west otn meridian) divides the State into two parts of equal area, east and west est of this line this act dedicates but 120. 000 acres, though half of the State in area. oewg rapioiy seuiea up, now without rail roads or other works of internal improvement and burdened by the location of a very large majority of these non-taxpaving lands. Thus the southeastern quarter of the State is to receive over three-fourths of the entire grant This is an unfair and in Zntable division, to the prejudice of the ar three-quarters of the State, for the reasons 1st, that the southeast is already much better provided with railroad facilities and 2d, it is better able to build new unu necessary roaas lrom its own re sources and 3d, it has received the maior part of the benefits derived from tbe large government land grants, the roads being first built in that section, while their lands, ciosea to the settler and contributing nothing to lighten the public burdens, lie on the remote frontier and 4th.

it has re ceived all of whatever benefits have flowed from the loan of the State credit to the ex tent of $2,225,000. This section already has one trunk line from the Minnesota river to to the Iowa line (besides many roads in other directions) and this bill proposes to endow two other through lines nearly' parallel with said trunk lines, and on either side of it and at the point of greatest distance aoart the two outside roads are within forty-two miles of eacn oiner, wnue a large part of the balance of the grant falling to this section, subsi dizes lines through neighborhoods not now remove irom me leaxung lines of roads in the Mate, in reply to these facts the friends of the measure answer We need competing lines. We are now oppressed with high tariffs, Ac Do such points need competing lines so much as other communities, far remote from all roads. need a single line A train It the State must subsidize competing lines, where is the necessity that justifies the means to stop? If these assets of the State, in which ail are equally interested, are to be taken to construct competing' lines, why shall we not be justified in taking the earnings of the roads which come to tho State or other public revenues, or raise a fnnd bv direct taxation, to carry this thing on until every town in the State be provided with railroad competition. If you want new roads be cause those you now have are oppressive.

iveorainarv nmwitmn nnrt nsn the obvious means that the new ones shall not be equally so ogive the roads good cause to lustifv oppressive charges, so multiply them and uiviue meir ousinesa that they cannot pay running expenses without exacting rates nuuuua 10 me prosperity of tbe country. jigmy uioosana acres are bestowed upon a line along the Minnesota river, in close proximity to the already richly endowed road which is rapidly pushino on in the same direction, and the 80,000 acres charged upiu uuouex. jLwcniy-nve thousand arres are thrown into competition with the iver, mm tra umutnd acres to set the iron hone wheeams on a aolitarv halt-mile coarse in the depth of the Bis Woods, should the company which is to build it as a tributary to another company's road not find it more tempting to use it on its own direct Knn. I tear that in order to overcome the advene judgment of the the lands have been parcelled out to so 'Many different projects, and mada tributary to so many miles of contemplated road, that tkey would not materially aid in the work. al ate attention of manufaeturing capital We learn that Mr.

Butterfield, who returned to New York on Thursday morning of last week, before doing so, deposited $80,000 in the State National Bank of Minneapolis, npon the condition that a like sum be raised by those owning the remaining half interest, the total sum to be immediately applied as we have stated. After paying all indebtedness there will be some $60,000 to apply to such improvements as the construction ot a canal heretofore commenced along the St Anthony bank of the river, down to tne rails, which will make the Water Power available for an almost indefinite number of mamafactorics, in addition to those already in existence. But another stipulation lnuus new and vigorous movement-and one which most be regarded with great favor by the public, as not the least important of the whole is that a great part of the vast amount of property owned by the company is to be divided between the several members of the company in such shape that each can dispose of his individual interest without the consent of the other members. This agreement also extends to the Water Power a certain proportion of the whole being set apart to each member of the company in absolute ownership, to be disposed of according to the will of each. There are otuer important ica-tores of the agreement, which will tie made public in due time.

We have given the substvnee of enough, how ever, to show tne public that very important changes are about to be con-Hommated in the management of the Water Power. Hence we are enabled to congratulate the citizens of St Anthony upon an assured growth of the city, in its every material interest, such as has hitherto been only a dream of the most sanguine, and never even but faintly real ized. We confidently believe that this new departure will be instrumental in leading to a full development of me almost exhaustless Water Power on this side of the river, within a very few years, and that the coming season will witness a degree of prosperity never De-fore enioved. The new arrangement. by which the Water Power Co.

will be enabled to pay all its debts and have a largo surplus to make needed improvements, must at once lift the Water Power from the Slough of Despond in hich it has heretofore continually floundered, and will transform what has seemed a blighting incubus upon the prosperity of St Anthony, into strong, active, energetic, life giving agency of unprecedented development MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.

Much as railroads do for the country, the people offthis State should not much more deeply invol ve themselves to build them to be owned bv oth ers, and run when built without regard to their interest It is true our State debt, not including railroad bonds, is not large, but to this add the municipal and iadivid-nalHndebtedness existing in the State, and the result is truly alarming, and further improvident extension should be earnestly and persistently discouraged by every friend of the State.

Within the last fourteen years the gener government has granted in aid of railroads in this State not including deficiencies not to be realized 15.500,000 acres of the public- domain, and the State about 1.700,000 acres, making a total of 000 acres, worth at least $43,000,000, but held by the companies at from five to ten dollars per acre; and there has been given by our people as local aid, including right of way, bonds issued and other legal obligations, to the amount in tbe aggregate of at least $3,000,000 more, and within these fourteen years, with $16,000,000 of subsidies, there has been completed about 1,000 miles of road. This bill contemplates aiding in the construction of an established length of 1,022 miles of road, giving an average of 488 acres per mile. The lands here granted lie on the frontier, and are lesa valuable per acre than the grants to the old roads. The friends of the bill estimate this grant as worth $1,000,000. Further comment is unnecessary.

In view of these facts, is it just, is it wise, is it economy, is it good business ability, is it acting in common honesty toward the creditors of the State toward the tax-payers of the State now struggling under their burdens to invest our only re maining assets, from the proceeds of which, bv good management, our indebtedness niittlit be raid upon its maturity, in a ven ture or scheme of such uncertain promise, as the one under consideration What would be said of a business man, deeply involved, but who owned an estate with which, by converting the same into money, he could discharge his incum brances, if in place of so doing lie should decline to do so, and bid his creditors wait and bo patient while he should nsk all in a scbeme or venture as doubtful, uncertain and hazardous as the one proposed bv this bill, although he might advance the theory that it would so multiply his resources, in crease his income and strengthen his credit as not only to enable him to pay off his debts, but also to accumulate a fortune on which to retire Would not his wisdom and prudence, if not his honesty, be questioned and dispuUd? Would not the courts be warranted on well-established le gal principles, in interfering, on the ground that he was about to put his property out of his hands, with intent to defraud his creditors What would be questionable business pol- icv, or of doubtful integrity in the individ ual, can be no less so in the State, though the responsibility, divided among so nianv. is not so direct and blighting to the indi viduals concerned, but is none the less cul pable or reprehensible. bile I am not one ot those who believe that the State can, in justice or equity, be called upon to psty tho whole amount nom lually due on the railroad bonds of 18on, (having their origin in a scheme not with out its analogies to the present one,) it is certain that sooner or later tbe claim must be adjusted on some basis, and it is not so clear that the higher interests of the State will not be best promoted by an uncon ditional recognition and payment in full. while it seems to me perfectly conclusive tnat souna ponry requires us to retain au our resources intact, until some arrange ments can be made with oar creditors and some other means of payment devised and adopted. There is now an act awaiting my exami nation, and which the people will probably be called to pass upon that it is thought will go far towards effecting an equitable adjustment of these claims but it seems to me that if it be submitted to them on the heels of the passage of an act which tiktrs from them the lat means of meeting their obligations without resorting to the current resources of the State or to direct taxation, it will not require the gift of prophecy to determine its fate in advance.

I know there are those who come to a di ametrically opposite conclusion, but I fear that they eynect the neonla ta Act the tmu-1 of the poor debtor who, never expecting to be able to pay his debts, is always ready to give ms note. Aast May the people of the State decreed by popular vote to pay their debts which they had already contracted for internal improvements," by means of theae lands. and I can only interpret their action as an expression of their will that tbe lands should remain pledged to that purpose till they have adopted some other means ot meeting these claims, or the question of making some other disposition of the lands be passed upon by them in a more direct form than has yet taken place. Had this bill contained a Provision submitting it to the people, I would not stand in the way of its becoming a law, though the provisions of the bill do not meet my judgment of which some of the mends of the act were notified in time to procure its insertion, if they had so desired, and they openly declared in debate thaf such a course would result in the certain defeat of the bill an open eon fession that it is in opposition to the will of a majority of our constituents, and in this one particular concur with the authors of the bill. Perhaps it should not be considered an insuperable objection that a majority do not agree upon a particular division, yet if a judicious one; tnat would not be unrea sonable to expect I am fully convinced that a majority are not yet agreed upon the principle of bestowing the grant in aid of- rauroaua, and certainly not with no more guaranties that the ostensible objects of the bill will be accomplished and the rights of the citizens protected against the practice, by the schemes aided, of the customary railroad abuses, which go far to cancel all expected benefits.

The discussion of this bill, and the action taken, may be expected to result in making an issue on tbe question at the next general election, the result of which may be sufficiently decisive to indicate with certainty the pleasure of the people in the premises. It however belongs to the advocates of bestowing this entire grant upon railroad schemes, to show a reversal of the verdict as made up at the ppecial election of May, 1870. If the proceeds of this grant are to be bestowed upon railroad projects, I think the legislature will be so constituted under a new apportionment as to secure a much mors equitable distribution than the pres ent bill affords. If the question of politi cal power is to enter into and dictate the proportions that the several sections are to obtain, to which, however, 1 must add my protest as an injustice to the younger and more needy sections of the that will never be defensible until we acknowledge the principle that "might in axes right" For these reasons I feel compelled to dis approve of this act and return the same in the exercise of my constitutional preroga tive, with these my objections thereto. Very respectfully yonr obedient Bcrvant, From the Ot- Anthony Democrat Important rkssgc la tate St.

Aathsay Wikr Pswtr CA. Brllllaart C. tare lor tbe Cltjr IteasBlaa; Cp. The recent visit of Mr. Butterfield to this city, indnced by the foreclosure sale of the St.

Anthony Water Power Company proijcrty, including some four hundred Iota in the city, has resulted in the adoption of a programme lor uie mwra 4eekMMneat of our un rivaled Water Power that must have a very marked effect npon the immediate growtn oi tne city. Aitnougn we nave not seen tne proposition which was submitted bv Mr. Butterfield and the Messrs. Chute, who are half Owners of the Water Power, to those of our citizens who own the other half, we learn from, responsible sources that the proposition, which all the par ties in interest nave assented to, embraces the appropriation of One 19am dred and Sixty Thousand Dollars for Ctrrapaitoce the Tribune. Sr.

Pact, Mabch 3, 1871. My telegram of last evening gave your readers but a faint idea of the effect of Got. Acstth's masterly" TBfo' message. As the clerk" ekwed up on the first full period, the crowded lobby cheered most lustily. Whaci went the President's gavel, who demanded order.

The reading proceeded, but at the close of the next paragraph the lobby burst forth again in clapping of hands, stamping of feet and cries of "good." Here Senator arose and insisted that the lobby should preserve order. The President announced that unless the lobby desisted from cheering during the reading of the message, the Sergeant-at-Arms would be directed to clear the Hall of all but members. The reading then proceeded without interruption to its close, and then the lobby broke forth again in a round of applause, which said in unmistakable terms to our worthy Governor, "Well done, good and faithful servant." The final vote on the motion to pass the Land Division Bill over the veto has some interesting facts connected with it worthy of note. Senators Fak-mer and Pkttjt, who had voted for the bill when it first passed the Senate, now voted No. The vote of Senator Beck-eb surprised some, but not your correspondent He had opposed the bill from its first inception, and openly declared his hostility to the measure in any and all forms.

This same Senator Beckeb now voted to pass the bill over the Governor's veto "and thereby hangs a tale." The enormous price paid for Mr. Speaker Mekriaii's vote on the Land Duide bill having been but barely hinted at in the Tribune of yesterday, that gentleman was in a high state of excitement all day, and he and his friends appealed to Senator Beckeb to come to his rescue, and diride the re sponsibility of that .7. It was hard for the Senator to agree to thus stultify himself, because somebody else found their fingers were pinched in a trap of their own setting. But the honor of St. Paul must le vindicated, and the very questionable course of Mr.

Meebiam be shared by cnotli er. To the honor of Es-Gov. Sib-in be it said, he flatly refused to yield to the entreaties of some of his constituents to take any share in the nice trade gotten up by Messrs. Meb-biax and Beckeb, by which all their local projects were to be carried safely through the Legislature, in consideration of their votes being given for the land divide bilL For the honor of the State, let it be hoped that in the future Ramsey county will be able to select men for the Legislature who will not be willing to sacrifice every principle of sound State policy, as well as their pledges and every principle of personal honor, for the sake of securing the passage of local measures supposed to be for the aggrandizement of St. PauL In Territorial times, when such men as Job Rolette occupied seats in the Legislature, it was quite common to have tricks worthy of the "heathen Chinee" played during the closing hours of the session.

Up to List night it was generally supposed we had, as a State, passed that period, but the pocketing of a bill by Mr. Fkid-lev shows that there still remains a little of the old leaven. The facts in the care are substantially these. Our St. Anthony people had introduced a bill authorizing the City Council to contract with the Minneapolis St Louis Railroad Company for the location of the repair shops of that company in that city, and for that purpose to issue bonds of the city, subject to ratification by a vote of the people.

The bill had passed the Senate and was in the hands of the House last night Now it so happened that a few persons desired the bill to find an early grave, so a little scheme was concocted. A citizen of St Anthony, intent on slaughtering the bilL weDt to the dignified and gentlemanly cx-Gov. Sib let, and in his most polite and bland manner informed the ex-Governor that they desired a trifle of au amendment to the bill, and wished him to have it referred to the representative from their district, Mr. Fktdlkt, for that purpose. The unsuspecting Ex-Governor, being always ready to accommodate his friends, and especially his democratic friends, made the motion, and the bill was so referred.

Mr. Fbedley took the bill and retired with his friends to attach tho amendments, but lor some reason they failed to return. At 11 5 P. M. a committee was ordered to hunt up the stray Fbuet.

He wra found enjoying himself over the "contents of a cask containing some kind of liquid, and so well pleased was he with his surroundings that he flatly declined to return to the hall or give up the bill, and so it died of strangulation in the pocket of Joe Rolette, No. 2, and when he dies let it lie hoped that he is the List of tne race. The death of Mr. John Bonsscm in Pennsylvania, at a place called Sehujt- kul Haven, appears to have created quite a sensation, the deceased haying been one of tbe heaviest men, perhaps, in the United States, at least in Pennsylvania. His weight was four hundred and sixty pounds, and as a lock tender on the Pennsylvania canal, he was as active in his movements as most men.

Dying in his watch box, it was found impossible to get him out of it without tearing down a portion of it Thou sands came together to view the mains. re- Thb people of San Francisco appear to have been more frightened of late at a thunder storm there of unusual sever ity, than hitherto at their earthquakes.
