advertised that Mr.. Sands, circus

LATER FROM THE PLAINs.-Among
the passengers brought by the Clara,
from ST. Joseph, were Messrs. Birch,
of Washington city, Handle, of Ills
nois, and J. S. Carter, OF ST. Charles
county, in this State. These gentle
men have just returned from Califor-
mia by the overland route, and made
the journey from Sacramento TO the
frontier Of this State, in fifty-6ve
days. During the entire trip they
enjoyed excellent health, and were
not molested in any instance by the
Indians. They found the grass and
water exceedingly plenty on The
plains; and in every respect preferred
the land route to coming home by
way of the Isthmus. In coming in
they met thousands Of emigrants on
their way to the golden region, and
to Oregon, and in almost every in
stance found them getting along fine
ly.
Although many OF The trains had
suffered severely from sickness and
depriyations shortly after leaving the
settlements, nearly all Of them, soon
after, were recuperated in health and
spirits. Those that left here in the
latter part Of April and beginning o
May. confidently expected to reach
the diggings by the first Of July.

ANOTHER INDIAN TREATY.-Col.
d. D. Mitchell, superintendent Of In
dian affairs in this city, has received
instructions from the depaI tment in
Washington, TO hold treaty with
the Camanches, Kiowas, and other
Indian tribes OF the plains. The
treaty will be held this fall at Fort
Atkinson, or in that vicinity.
The annuiuies promised the Indi
ans in the Fort Laramie treaty, have,
since the ratification OF the treaty,
been forwarded to the Plains. under
charge Of Major Fitzpatrick. If these
tribes had failed 10 receive the aanu-
tiles expected by them under the
treaty, il isquite probable they would
have become troublesome TO the EN-.
igrants. The emigration through
their country has driven away game
and destroyed their timber. 1t is
with the greatest difficulty they can
find game enough to subsist upon
To those who know their real condi

it must be a source oI deep regret
Unfortunately for the Indians they
are too far removed from the eyes o
the humane and considerate portion
Of our people, too little is known o
their real condition, and the common
prejudices against them are so strong
that they do not receive The cousid

Carson and his fellow voyager soon

good horse and a first class pack

"The discovery of gold in large

great excitement and some alarm, as

6nSueQ instantly
/ T We learn from the Philadel-
phia Ledger that Matthias Skupinski,
the notorious Polish murderer, was
to be hung on Friday last. II seems
that the criminal has at last made a
confession. The Ledger says:
Many statements, alleged TO have
been made by Matthias, have been
published, the most startling OF
which. was the affidavit Of the Pole,
Skavinski. All these, however,
Matthias afterwards denied, and,
until within the past week, he has
declared his innocence of the murder
OF Lehman, or any other referred TO
in the affidavit. During the week
he became somewhat alarmed about
the nearness OF the day upon which
the law will be executed, and made
confession Of the murder Of Leh-
man TO the Sheriff's Interpreter, Mr..
Toussig, and Rev. Mr.. Alexander,
chaplain of the prison, which he
said he perpetrated with the leg Of
stove, as Skawinski stated, and sub
sequentIv he and Keyser Tor John
RutkowskD cut up the body with
knife. Blaise, his brother. he alleges,
was not present when the murder
was committed. ..-.
On Tuesday afternoon, Sheriff
Dear aud Deputy Sheriff John Mil
Ter, Mr.. Toussig. Rev. Mr.. Alexan-
der, and Mr.. A. Freed, keeper Of
the prison, visited the condemned
man, and he again repeated the con-
lession, and made other disclosures,
which corroborate, in part, the affida-
Wit Of Skawinski, given before
Mayor Gilpin, relative to many
other murders he has been engaged
in, in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Della
ware, New York and Europe. He
also stated that his brother Blaise
acted with Keyser and himself, in
most OF the deeds Of crime in which
they were engaged. He strongly
desires that the authorities will spare
his life until the whereabouts of Key
ser is known, and, If living. until he
is tried and condemned. He says he
will go with The officers, in heavy
chains, TO the spot where Keyser is,
but refuses 10 tell Keyser's condition
or place Of concealment. On the
gallows a full confession will be
made from manuscript, which has
been partially written, OF the Leh-
man murder, and all the crimes, he
says he has ever been guilty Of
Until then the public mind must be
satisfied, as no official revelations
will be made.

EASTERN CRoPs.-The hay crop is
light throughout New England, and
the same may be said Of the Eastern
portion Of New York. The drought
has also materially affected the pota-
toe crop, and prices are unprece-
dentedly high Tor this season Of the
year. Indian corn looks better,
bu; has suffered more or less. Early
potatoes ars too lar advanced to be
much benefited by rain, even if it

which we have had occasionally of

T There was great excitement
in Evansville on Thursday. Messrs

palace, and Dan Rice with his hip
podrome being there. Before the
performances in the palace COM
menced, one OF the prOprietOrs noti-
fed the crowd that, to avoid paying
license, he should move the palace in
the river, and those displeased with
this movement could have their
money refunded at the door. A
spectator replied TO him, and warned
all persons of the danger of this
procedure in case of any accident
There was at once tremendous
rush for the door. Messrs. Spalding
& Co. seeing how matters went
paid the license and the performances
went on. There was, however, a
strong feeling created against the
palace, and some boys hurled stones
at it. A performance was advertised
for the following day, but il was not
given. While all this was going on,
Dan Rice was performing to a
crowded tent, and made abundant
capital out Of the proceedings at the
palace. -. --1

Peoples Ticket.

The ticket nominated at the meeting on
Wednesday afternoon is good one. The men
upon it are all known-they are among the
most prominent and respectable of our citizens
they have been here from the start, and are
thoroughly identified with ST. Paul and all her
interests-so there is no occasion for US to
write whole columns to tell who they are or carry
certificate about the streets to prove that they
can read and write. Not one of them but who
not only has done something for St. Paul, but
great deal. The people know them and will
elect then-not because their opponents are
gentlemen of foreign birth, but because all
have confidence in their ability, experience, and
integrity-in their conservative discrimination
upon all matters of legislaton-liquOr laws
and all other laws-and will not go for Wild
ultra extremes on either side, or any side of
any question. This is the great strength of the
Peoples Ticket this year, as it has been on
every year. and has carried it triumphantly
through on all occasions, and will again. But
We think this is about the best and strongest
one We ever had. The mad-dOg cry Of "Na-
tivism'' raised against it will avail nothing
People here are not such fools as to be caught
by any such trap.
