- Some of the affairs of the Minnesotian Of
flee became slightly deranged last week, owing
to our own illness for day or two, and the
sickness of our carrier We mention this mere
ly as apology to those Of our subscribers in
town who were not served with their papers on
Saturday.
WIG Non INArIoNs.-We to-day place in the
proper position the nominations of our friends
for Legislative Offices, SO far as We have learn.
ed them, throughout the Territory. In glanc-
ing over them we do not see a name that should
not receive the cordial and active support of all
true Wings. Such nominations are an honor
to any party-defeated or successful.
- The discourse delivered by Rev. Mr.. Neil
last Sabbath, upon the subject of Education
will be printed in pamphlet form, and ready for
publication in few days. 1t will be found at
T. Richie's corner of Third and Wabasha
streets.
WASHINGTON CoUNrY.-We had the pleasure
of attending the Wing Convention for the First
Council District. held at Saltwater on Monday
last Great unanimity Prevailed, and the NOM
nations gave the most entire satisfaction. The
candidates for Council, Messrs. Folsom and Hea-
ton, are so we'll known as two of the most act
i've BUSINESS men on the st. Croix, that they
cannot fail to secure successful support irres-
pective Of party. The Wings of Saltwater, on
Monday evening, unanimously nominated the
best House ticket they have ever run. See pro-
ceedings.
- The Pioneer sticks up and supports the
ticket nominated at the Court House on Thurs
day of last week. and then in its columns imme-
dately follows an article upon "Sheep in Min
nesota." Bah!
Mr.. Hart, the Mail Agent, arrived by the
Franklin. We understand he has directed the
Post Master at this place to contract for
carrying the mails on the routes up the Mis-
sissppi, and the Minnesota. This will be
gratifying to our people who have been debar-
red mail facilities for some time past.-Pio-
neer.
We understand Mr.. Hart also directed our
postmaster to forward all matter going east OF
Chicago directly to that place, and to make up
the Galena mail for Galena direct, instead Of
sending it to Dubuque. A most excellent ar
rangement.
FOURTH COUNCIL DIsrR1Cr.-It was matter
unanimously conceded by the Wings of that
portion OF Ramsey county, embraced within the
Fourth Council District, that Washington should
select one Of her own citizens for this position
during the ensuing term, and that we would
rally to his support, might and main. Wash
ington has done so with great unanimity we
have endorsed the selection in mass convention,
and it now behooves us to give the candidate
the entire benefit of our concentrated energies
Let St. Paul remember, that in the days of her
tral--during the long session of ls5l-Burt
LOOMS stood up for her, alongside her own true
representatives, Brunson and others, and car
ried her point on the Capitol question and let
not that portion of the district west OF the Mis-
sissipp forget, that to his firmness in the chair
of the Council it is indebted for all it's repre-
sentation had in Minnesota's legislative pro-
ceedings during the last two years. Men of old
Washington you have your man-do your du-
ty! That all will be right, here and beyond
west and south, we feel well assured
MISNEsoTIAN JOB OFFIcE-In a very short
time we will add some five hundred dollars
worth of new material to our jobbing depart
ment, which will place us on an equal footing
with any similar establishment in even st. Lou
is or Chicago. Among other new and desira-
BILE fixtures, we will have rotary card press.
Mr.. Moore made these purchases while in New
York, but the lines of transportation are so
crowded with freight, that he has beaten them
home, perhaps week or two.
Our tables here in St. Paul, this first of Oc-
tober, continue to be graced with melons, to-
matoes. &c. No frost yet worth naming.
Wings! 1.-The only way to accomplish the ends
of good government in Minnesota, is for you to
stand straight up to the whole of the excellent
tickets you have nominated in the various dis
tricts and counties.
INDEPENDENT CANDIDATEs-Geo. w. Camp-
bell, OF Point Douglas, an old citizen and true
man, is an independent candidate for the House
of Representatives in his District. Nathan C.
D. Taylor, Of Taylor's Falls, gentleman tho
roughly competent in every respect for the po-
sition, runs for the House, by general consent
OF Wings and Democrats in the Marine and
Chsago District.
LARGE Cow.-Our fellow citizen, Mr.. Thomas
wall, returned from the East by the DR.. Frank
lin, bringing with him some fine stock, includ-
ing mich COW, weighing upwards of sixteen
hundred pounds!
- If ever we should be so unlucky as to get
into Congress while Minnesota is Territory
we will go for an amendment Of the organic
act, so that each County will be entitled to five
Registers Of Deeds and ten Sherifs, and the Lee
gislature be composed of two hundred and fifty
Councillors and five hundred Representatives.
The reasons for these alterations are obvious
