The Result In Virginia.

'SHlCAEn. May ~
VIRGINIA ErLcrros. Que hundred and ten
counties officially heard ION, give over lo,ooO
majority for Wise.
This is the latest news We have. JL'rc are
yet some thirty or forty out Of the way csnn
ties to hear from, which will not probably vary
the above result materially. That Wise is cleo
ted. there can be no doubt. tGE
And so, Samuel has buttcd his National"
brains out against Virginia worm fence: All
hopes Of his becoming National" character
on large scale are thus nipped in the blossom
by this black frost, which swept over the Old
Dominion on the 24tL OF May. He has n OF CIV Ell
done as we'll in that State as the old opponents
of modern Democracy" were in the habit of
doing in days OF yore. SAN" will now have
to stop and cool his blood. After this rearing
and prancng onset of his in Virginia-wherc
he became las ardent as Southern sun could
make him"-he needs rest and reflection. Per-
haps he had better follow the example of some
of his most distinguished friends: take trip to
Europe and there remain until after the Presi
dental question is settled. ....-....
But Sam lis young yet and may learn by
experience. though this is somewhat doubtful.
1t is certain. however that his Union saving"
services are not required in Virginia. The
democracy" can attend to all that!

The Democrat thinks the provisions of the
Treaties are not sufficiently strong to keep
liquor out Of the country embraced within the
late Sioux Purchase. Well then, perhaps the
people will adopt the Winona doctrine, as ex-
emplifed by the following proceedings which
we find in late number of the Argus of that
village. We know of no place in the Sioux
country where the inhabitants allow liquor to lie
sold, unless it lie atiShakopee; and we were not
aware Of its being tolerated there until the
Democrat so informed us. The Argus says:
A few days ago there was erected shanty
few rods from the levee, and many inquiries
were made for what purposes it was to be used,
and who was the owner. No one could give
any information further than they heard it was

ST.. PAUL MEAT MARKET.--The people of st.
Paul have been imposed upon some months by
the exorbitant price charged in the market for
fresh meats. We were therefore agrecaby sur

Upon enquirng the cause, We learned that ST.
Paul owes this breaking up OF the meat mo-
nopoly to Charley Coulter, our extensive cat
tie dealer. He put the price of his animals,
on foot to the butchers at fair and living fig
