1iILHoIs-Tbe Galena Advertiser foots up the
popular majority in Illinois. upon the vote for
members Of Congress. at $1,000 against Doug
las and Nebraska. The official returns will not
vary these figures n2orc than TWO or three hun

Nebraska party has a majority of one in the
Senate and fifteen in the House.
WINTER R0AD COMPLETED TO SurERIoE.-Mr.
Crane. Of ST. Paul. who has just returned from
journey toward Lake Superior. far north
Is Yellow Lake, informs us that the winter
read is entirely completed, and that Mr.. Net
tleton's party had started on their return to
Superior. but would stop at the halfway post
between the Lake aud the St. Croix and erect
comfortable way side inn for the accommoda-
tion Of man and beast. y faithful landlord has
been obtained for this station. The new road
strikes the st. Croix at Bishops Camp below
the mouth Of yellow River As soon as the

ArrrEs OF SopoN.-The Times complains
Il. I
ccives from its co-laborcr the Pioneer in pay
for its aid in elccting the Democratic ticket at
the late election. The Times certainly has rea
son TO feel hurt. but it must remember this is
bu; 4 natural way the Locofoco party has of do
ing things. We knew the Times and its Wing
friends were completely sold at the time.
They will have yet more bitter tears ofremorse
and disappointment 10 shed before they get
through with the matter. When the Legisla-
tive printing is divided between the Pioneer
and Democrat-which there is every reason
now to believe will he tie caSc--the Times will
sec further into the lonely and desolate future
which its Democratic friends have in store
for it.
GAs.-The Times says we want a gas-housc
in 81. Paul. We think not. Judging by the
whole columns Of iulsumc self aduation and
esotism which from day TO day appear in the
Times and Pioneer, we should decide that We
have two gas houses in st. Paul already.

appointed q Wood Mcasurer for the City.-Pio-

before the Pioneer awoke to its Importance.
