OAKLAND CEMETERY ASSOCIATION.

The Trustees of this Association have been at
great expense in the purchase, survey and fencing
of forty acres of land beautifully situated about
one and a quarter mile from the Capitol of St.
Paul, as a proper and quiet place for the repose
of the dead. Much money has been expended on
this spot, not for speculative purposes, but in
der that citizens and strangers could procure such
a resting place for the bodies of their relatives
and friends as would be in consonance with the
spirit of civilization. The Association is now in
debt to a large amount and depend upon the libe-
rality of the citizens of ST. Paul to aid in liqui
dating that indebtedness, by purchasing lots and
evincing an interest in the progress of the work.
1t is matter in which we are all interested, and
we trust the Trustees will be encouraged in their
nraise-MOrthY enternrize.

GALLANT AFFAIR FOR THE FAIR AT THE FAIR.-
At the Tolland County Conn.) Fair last week,
five ladies entered the list as competitors for the
premium offered by the society for the most
graceful exhibition of female e1uestriansm.
Gen. Pratt, Representative from the first con-
gressionel district, acted as umpire, and very
puzzled gentleman he was, the fair competitors
acquitt:ng themselves SO handsomely that he could
TO more make distinction between them than
between as many pearls all of one size set in gold
Unable to make the award, he very gallautly cx-
tricated himself from his dilemma BY taking out
his pocket-book and paying each the amount OF
the highest premium offered!

Correspondence of the Times.
The Swappins-Henn nepin. Jr.-COmpimentary ke-
solutions.
at 1874


Mr. EprroR,-In late communication pub
lished in the Times, spoke of the contemplated
swapping off of candidates for the assembly, by
few politicians Interested in securing the elect
ion of such persons upon whom they could de-
pend to sustain the course of Rice, Owens, 4 Co.
When doing so, had no idea of exciting the ire
of some few sensitive gentlemen, who all at once
Wing party uppermost in their minds, without
regard to ''Rairoads," or any other measure that
may interest the Territory generally.
Nor would the article so affected them, had
they been successful in their operations. They
are aware that the people, have decided by a
glorious majority against ''Bogus Railroads." as
we'll as Ex-Reprcsentativcs, newspapers and ed
itors who uphold and further such iniquitous
schemes, consequently they had rather their aims
and wishes relative to the late election, should
not be known.
Like the Democrat and MinneSotian, they are
already ''turning from their evil ways'' and fall
ling in with public opinion. Before election they
cried ''Railroad or no Railroad," and now its
hardly passed when they assert that it had no re-
ference to it whatever. They quick to ''hy
the track having in view the good will of the
members elect, and natural result, a fat job
in the way of printing. IIennepin, Jr., writes a
letter to the Express, saying that John. P. Owens
never mentioned politics while in Minneapolis,
and that he has been attacked in a very unjust
and sanderous manner. He asks to whom,
Owens named politics. Unless we are greatly
mistaken as to the indentity Of IIcnnepin, Jr, he
is the veritabe individual to whom it was mon-
toned, also the election of Mobiles in order to
sustain if possible the position of Schuyler, Bill
lings, Owens, Co.
Previous to election, and about the time the
Wings were in Convention at Shakopee, Mr..
Owens in an editorial said that probably the Con-
vcntion would pass resolutions complimentary
to, and sustaining the course of Mr.. Rice,
lie had no business to expect any such thing
from Wing body, particularly if the issue was,
as they now assert Whiggery and Democracy.
Let me ask IIcnncpin, Jr., why certain rcsolu-
tions were submitted in Committee, greatly
toling our Delegate, if it not that one or two
attempted to forestall the body and metamorphize
it into pro. fraud Convention for the support of
the late swindlc? And will he also tell us why
said resolutions were not engrafted into the plat
form accor ling to the expectations of the Minnc
plies to IIennepin, j., ,ceH and good. If the coat
fits him he can wear it. But sorry that he
should squirm so outrageously, if he was in no
way connected with the matter.

For KASsAs.-C. H. Branscombe, ESQ.,, agent

JUDGE GAMBLE.-The St. Louis Herald states
that Judge Gamble has announced his intention
of retiring from the place he holds on the Bench
Of the Supreme Court of Missouri, in the belief
that longer continuance there will increase the
danger to his health which he has for some time
past felt to be seriously impaired. We are inform
ed that he has fears he is suffering from an affec-
ton Of the heart. His resignation is to take ef-
feet from the 18th of next month. 1t is needless
to add that the loss to the Supreme Bench of so
able and upright Judge, will be much regretted.
The Judge has purchased property in the vicinity
of St. Anthony and probably will build there and
spend great portion of the summer months in
Minnesota.

The following is the latest from the seat of war:
Although the English papers are full of inter-
they contain nothing new of any decisive charac-
ter: The bcsiegers had, up to the latest date,
made no impression upon Scbastopol, although
they had closely invested it the south and east,
and their guns were playing on the walls. Mems
chikoff held the north, and was in daily expecta-
tion Of being joined by Ostin Sacker and Gorts-
chakoff, who were at Penakap.
1t is confirmed that Menschikoff had seven line
of battle ships at the entrance to Sebastopol, as
a blockade to the hartor.

THE CHoLERA.-This scourge is making ter

says:
There were not vehicles enough to carry the
dead to the cemeteries, and the police were obli-

days $4,000 persons have del. The sick were
left without food, medical ad, or the sOlace of
clerical attendance in their dying moments. The
physicips, as we'll as the druggists and priests,
all shamefully took to fight. Large numbers of
galley prisoners condemned to chains for life for
capital crimes, were pardoned on condition of
