The Elections.

New YoaK-The Herald of Sunday, the
llth, says there is now no reason to doubt
the complete success Of the Know Nothing
ticket, with tie exception of one of the
Judges of the Court Of appeals. According
to cur latest returns they have upwards of
eleven thousand plurality over the Fusion
lists, and nearly three times that number over
the Soft Shell candidates The Tribune of
the 18th, thinks the Know Nothing plurality
will be, perhaps, as large as $4,000.
WIscoNsIN.-There can be no Reasonable
doubt that Bashford is elected by small
majority, although that wonderfully prolific
voting country known as the Superior Re-
gion" may have been holding off to see how
many votes would be required to elect Bar
stow. Superior is equal to any emergen-
cy in this line, either in Minnesota or Wis
consin-particularly if Barstow had the act
ing managers of the immaculate Superior
Company" to "boss" his job.
LOUISIANA Las gone for tic Democrats
of course.
MISSISSIPPI has gone the same way.

MONDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 10, 1855.
Speakership of the House.

The first session of the new Congress will
commence in less than four weeks. The
Washington correspondent of the New York
Times states that "the canvass for Speaker
ship of the House has commenced with great
animation. The Republican fusionists have,
perhaps a greater number than any other
party or faction. Their candidate is not yet
decided upon. 1t may be Mace, of Indiana,
formerly Democrat; l.. Campbell of Ohio,
Republican; Banks, of Massachusetts,, Re-
publican; or Joshua R. Giddings. The DEM
ocrats have numerous competitors. There
are Richardson, of Illinois; Orr, of South
Carolina; Howell Cobb, of Georgia-if cleo
ted by the people; Thomas H. Bayley, and
other Virginians. There are not moro than
a dozen Wings proper in the House. They
will hardly run separate candidate. The
preferences of the Know Nothing are divided
between Hayens, of New Hork, late Wing,
and perhaps the most prominent member of
the Order; Humphrey Marshall, late Fillmore
and Silver Grey Wing; Extra Billy Smith,
of Virginia, late Fire-eating Democrat; Judge
William w. Smith, of Alabama, late Demo
crat; and Banks, named above"
The intelligent correspondent Of the New
York Courier, says:
'The organization of the House will prob
abl' turn upon this single question of adj
mitting Whitfield or Rceder. Tie Northern
MEMBERS with the exception Of about fifteen
democrats attached to the Treasury, will
vote for no man for Speaker who is not pre-
viouslv pledged to constitute the Committee
on Elections in manner which shall pre-
cludc the recognition of Whitfcld'S preten-
sions. If he is rejected, it will be upon the
ground that the election by which it is pre-
tended that he was chosen, VS. wholly inval-
id, from the unconstitutional exclusion Of the
Free State settlers from the polls. The cleo
ton laws ef the mock Legislature required,
as a condition, precedent to the right to vote,
that the voter, if challenged, should pay one
dollar as registration fee and swear to sup
port the statutes framed by its authority,
and the fugitive slave act. Now whether
these conditions were locally proper, there
is no doubt that they were directly in con-
fiict with the Constitution.
'sIn voting upon Whitfeld's preposterous
claim to a seat therefore, it will not be nee
essary even to pass upon the general question
whether mob meeting, calling itself a Leg
islature, was legal or not. 1t is enough that
the decree adopted by it ordering an election
was wholly unconstitutional and void. 1t will
remain to be decided by the House whether
during this suspension of Legislative author
ity, the people of Kansas had the right to
elect delegate in order to secure their right
of representation. Upon the decision of that
point will depend the admission or rejection
of Gov Reeder."

Bosu, insurance Companies.

In nothing are many persons more sadly
carried away by the idea of cheapness, than
in the matter of Insurance. To save few
dollars in the premium they run the risk in
the policy proving utterly worthless. So ex-
tensive were frauds in Insurance business of
New York State, that last Winter or Spring
a new law was enacted relating to Insurance
Companies, and the result has been most
salutary. No less than six or seven compan-
les have been broken up. The State Comp
troller, Mr.. Cook, has recently put his heel
upon another of these snakes, named the
"Tontine Fire Insurance Company of New
York" 1t appears that this concern was or
ganized in May last; it's officers sworn to
bona fide capital of $20O,OOO. Some twenty
agents were appointed, with the right to
large fees for procuring risks. They had
driven hard, and succeeded in getting nearly
So 900 for 4l6 policies on riks amounting, in
The aggregate, to several hundred thousand
dollars.
The ''large fees'' make agents very busy;
and the prudence that impe1s persons to in
sure property, should make them careful
where and through whom they insure.
The extent Of this system of fraud may be
guessed at IN some degree, from the fact,
that within the term of twenty months, 30
INSURANCE companies ID Cne OCate Ol New
York have failed or otherwise suspended OPP
erations. Six, of these were located in New
York city had pretended capital in the ag-
gregats Of $3.50, ,4S3.-PhiaadAphi MST-

that there are Insurance Companies, who

character denominated above. By reference

, A KISS IN FEE.-A young German girl was
acquitted on charge of larceny yesterday
in the Court of Quarter Sessions. Upon the
verdict Of acquittal being rendered by the
jury, she manifested her joy and her graft
tude in manner which very much astonised
her counsel, the court and the bar. With
tears of joyful happiness bursting from her
sparkling eyes, she embraced her counsel
and imprinted upon his glowing cheek kiss
which resounded throughout the courtroom
like the melody of sweet music. Her coun-
sci, young gentleman of fine PERSONAL ap-
pearance, though taken by surprise, received
this tender acknowledgment of his valuable
services from his fair client as legal tender
The girl left the scene of her trial and hel
triumph, unconscious of the gaze and the
smiles of crowded courtroom, and only
grateful to her counsel for her deliverance
from a charge which had threatened, but q
moment before like dark cloud, to burst
over her head, and darken her future life
with the perpetual blackness of despair ant

ANOTHER WARNING.-The building occu-
pied by Messrs. F. Shultz & Co., Merchant
Tailors, on Third, between Cedar and Wa
bashaw, was discovered to be on fire on Sat
urday afternoon. 1t was caused by stove
pipe projecting through the roof The build
ing was saved from serious damage by the
prompt exertions Of citizens residing in its
immediate vicinity. People cannot be too
careful in regard to fires. Had it not Teen
for the timely assistance rendered, st. Paul
would have witnessed conflagration unpar-
alleled, as yet, in her history.
The INcENDIARY.-Our citizens are not
sufficiently alive to the necessity of deter
mined effort to ferret out the incediary or
incendiaries by whom the buildings occupied
respectively by Jos. Marshall, and Mr.. Sand
ford, were recently fired in this city. If
these conflagrations were the work of an in
cendiary-and there is scarcely any doubt
they were-the property of our citizens is
nightly in danger, until the fire-fiends are
apprehended. We call attention to an ad-
vetisement in another column, in reference
to this important matter. -, =; r..

MINNESOTA DEUTscHE ZEITUNG-Am
Independent Democratic Weealy Paper for City
and Country" is the title of handsome
German sheet now published in st. Paul, the
first number of which made it's appearance
yesterday. The editor and publisher is Mr..
F. Orthwein, a gentleman, we should judge,
of considerable ability as a writer, and one
who has had much experience in his profess
sion. The editor, in defining his position,
says, in substance, that he will oppose Know
Nothingism, the Maine Liquor Law and the
Extension of Slavery. AS the establishment
of this journal is an era in Minnesota politics,
we shall procure the translation of his lead
ing articles Of yesterday for the benefit of
our readers. The Zeitung is no doubt per-
established journal, and we COM
mend it to our business men as one of the

leave of us for this year of grace. The

The LATE PAN1c.- New York Times
says that, so far as it is able to judge, the

condition of our banks, the reduction of our
foreign indebtedness, the abundant harvest

precious metal, and the increasing demand
for our breadstuffs; in short, by the remark
able condition of prosperity which all the
great interests of the country shipping

IT WoN'r Do.-The Pioneer in endeavor-

in the Senate of Few York, says it is caused
by the number of Republicans holding over.
Now, when it is recollected that the Repub-
lican party in that State is only about two
months old, it will be seen how foolish a fic-
tion the Pioneer has invented and when it
is further recollccted that there is no holding
over of a portion of the Senators in that
State, but that they are all elected at the
same time, similar to the Council in our Ter
ritory, the fiction becomes decidedly stupid.
