BY notice of the Superintendent of the
Illinois Central Railroad, it will be seen that
Dunleith is again in Railroad connection
with st. Louis The difficulties of the Ohio
and Mississippi Railroad appear to have,
been arranged, and the cars are again run
ming regularly IN connection with the trains
of the Central.
A LICK BACK.-The editor of the Winons.
Argus, in two or three columns of d crazy,
6oundering attempt to justify the course of the
Rice convention in voting down the Van Et-
ten Resolutions, hits the managers of that
mob assemblage the following hard lick:
But this, 1.-THE course of Van Etteni
though it may palfiate, does not excuse the
political sin committed by our convention in
adjoulning without having adopted platform
in that bold and straightforward style which
has ever distinguished us as party. These
are the plain spoken facts of the case and we
little care whose toes may be pinched by the
recital of them.''
Good for the Half Breed Commissioner =
The day he wrote those two sentences, he
came very near earning the eight dollars
which he is daily drawing from the peoples
Treasury But they were so mixed up with
a mass Of rubbish and special pleading that it
took almost an hour to sort them out from the
chaff. We shall not charge anything for the
trouble, however.
A "SMALL PorAroE" LIE.-The .Ne-
phcw' of the Winona 4rgus-the Eight
Dollars Day Half Breed -Commissioner-in
his zeal to write down Mr. Olmsted and
write up his friend Rice, ".rings in'' the fol-
lowing falsehood in regard to the Minneso-
tian.
cit is notorious that the Minnesotian,
which is an out and out anti-Nebraska and
anti administration paper, urged his lOlm-
sted'sl claims upon the Republican conyen-
tiOn"
Will Mr.. Jones please name day and date
when the Minnesotian did anything of the
kind? The "Nephew" is certainly getting
desperate.
ANOTHER LETTER FoUND.-The Baltimore
American learns that letter containing
note for five hundred dollars was lately found
by Mr.. Peter Shunck, of Howard Co., among
some waste paperpgrchased at the Baltimore
Post Office. The letter was directed to the
Cashier of one Of the Virginia Banks.
ES Capt. Titus, who was drowned
few days since at the mouth of the Kalama-
ZOO river, was captain in command Of the
Erie, when burnt, with terrible loss OF hfe,.
near Buffalo.
e Sam Houston has come out with
very fat foot for the political "Sam." de
accepts the entire platform.
