l.. 1 We assert tina. il the report 10 true that
500 votes were cast at the polls at Lake Supe-l
rior in Minnesota Territory. then those votes
were procured. from some other source than the
legitimate one, for, according 70 the census re1
turns there were but 300 inhabitants in Superb
or and .Doty Counties, where, il is alleged.
these votes were given. For. proof Of this,
read the following letter from w. w. Mayo.
addressed to the editor Of the cMinnesotian ,a.
g Mr.. Osoen-Deor Sir:-As near A. can re-
collect, tho census taken BY me in July last in
Superior and Doty counties, gives the number Of
inhabitants, including the half breeds and their
families, about 800 for the two eounties- mot
over that number. Included in this number were
the names Of several who lived in Superior, Wis
consin. but claimed fssidsnce in Minnesots under

1t should be borne in mind that many Of
these 300 inhabitants came to the Territory
less than sir months before the election, and yet
500 votes were polled in these Counties, most
of which were cast for Henry M. Rice! Could
there be greater villainy than this! ,sas.-t. :;

IfMr. McCracken is an attorney at Law
and Land Agent at Superior, Wisconsin, y
where he devotes his time, and eats and sleeps,
we should like to have the Satanic inform us
by what rule it makes him resident of Min
nesota : But further than this, gentleman
who knows Mr.. McCracken well, is ready to
swear that Mr.. McCracken is not a resident Of
Minnesota, and that he refused to give him his
support on that ground for the Legislature, and
further. that Mr.. McCracken himself admitted
that he was not resident of Minnesota, and
this gentleman is not Mr.. Slaughter, who has
been abused by the Satanic for exposing the
rascally proceedings at the ballot-box, away up
on the north shore Of Lake Superior.
8. 1t is further alleged, and we believe the
assertion is susceptible Of proof, that Mr.. Nc.
Cracker is Notary Public. commissioned By
the Governor Of Wisconsin, and yet we are in
formed by corrupt press, paid 70 do the dirty
work Of its unprincipled supporters, that Mr..
McCracken t. resident of Minnesota, and
that the casting of 500 votes where there were
but 300 inhabitants. was perfectly right, and
that its favorite pmp should be entitled to seat
in the Legislature. se..-., t.,-- ... 3,
Such bare-faced corruption needs no COM
ment from US, and if the Satanic can derive
any consolation from the course it is now pur-
suing in defending violations of law, it has
sunk itselfmu lower than we supposed it pos
sible to sink, although it was low enough be-
fore it cane the advocate Of the Lake Supe-
rior gang Of illegal voters! ..- ...f-r
ORIGINAL WAY or CATCHING A CmcxsN.-A
lady in this city bought chicken Tuesday morn
ing last, and after carrying it home had the mis-
fortus to lot it slip from her hand. A fishing
hook and limo were hanging by the door-she inn
mediately put kernel Of corn on the hook and
threw it out, the chicken swallowed the corn,
hook, and all. The lady then pulled upon the line
and drew the chicken in, much to ito annoyance,
but it was hooked and had to walk along. She's
