The ConnecticN Elections.

HARTFORD, April 3.-The returns are yet very
imperfect, but enough is known to render it GER
tain that the Know-Nothngs and Wings have made
clean sweep. In this district Ezra Clark has been
elected to Congress by about 600 majority There
will probably be no election by the people of
Governor, but the Legislature being largely Know
Nothing and Wing, there is but little doubt that
Miner will be the Governor.
sEcoND DESPATCH.
The returns not all in yet, but the result win
be nearly as follows: Ingram 81 900 Minor, 25,-
000 Dutton, 5000. The Know-Nothngs and
Wings win have nineteen or twenty of the twenty
one Senators, and probably 1870 of the 284 Repre-
sentatives. They have also carried all four of the
Congressman.

A Touch OF REPUDIATIoN.-Poor Santa
Anna, with all his other troubles, was des-
tined to experience one of peculiarly ma
ture Everybody knows how he raised the
wind by selling fer ten millions of dollars, a
certain tract of very poor land in Northern
Mexico. The last instalment of this money,
amounting to three millions, is now due
but Gen. G ,dsdcn, our minister, finding tie
hero of the wooden leg in a tumbling and
depressed condition, has declined to pay over
thk monsy, to. the great satisfaction of Alva-
rez, who is delighted to have this snug little
sum with which to start. his government.
We do not understand by what authority we
thus repudiate our contract. The: bargaih
for the Mesis.a Valley was made with Santa
Anna, with the full understanding that il
was for bis esnhciai. benefit and behoof. 1t
Vas viii enough known that lie wanted the
money for just the emergency into which he
has now been precipitated; and there is a
little of the Diddler in Keeping it back, now
that the Dictator is in difficulty. We do
not know by what system of international
la7F our government goes in for Alvarez and
against Santa Anna but we suppose that
''niggerism" in some form will he found at
the bottom of the whole arrangement.-B

We have heard it remarked by strangers
the past few days, that in no part of the
West which they have visited, have they
seen so fine and excellent quality of pota-
toes, turnips, melons, cabbages, squashes,
tomatoes, &C., as is daily offered for sale in
the st. Paul City Market Although the
early part of the season was backward, yet
it appears that everything finally caught up
in growing, and no season has ever produced
in greater abundance and of better quality
than the present. We are getting iiatihers
and gardeners among us who better under
stand their business than did MANY of the
first settlers, and our prolific soil is begin
ming to show what it is really capable of
doing.
People may live here ali their lives, and
have no idea of the high excellence of our
soil for farming purposes, Unless they visit
the market at this season of the year. 1t is
now well worth going to see every morning.

:
: A correspondent Of the Times, writing
from Hastings, says that commissioners
have just returned from locating new road
direct from Hastings to Cannon Falls, at
which point it intersects the St. Paul and
Dubuque Mail Route: This will shorten the
route from your city to Dubuque next win
ter, many miles, and changes it to a less
bleak and more pleasant route, avoiding all
that high prairie on which the stage had
each time to break the road through the
snow; placing it instead on well travelled
line, much of it through timber and all
thickly settled. The new route will be from
st. Paul by Red Rock and Atkinson's to
Hastings 20 miles, and there crossing to the
west side of the Mississippi, continue on by
way of Vermillion Falls to Cannon Falls,
less than II miles further-or 81 miles at
the outside figure from St. Paul to Cannon
Falls. Southeast just beyond the latter
place, understand another change will be
made in the route by which good ten miles
will be saved"
The same correspondent disposes of that
old st. Paul nuisance, the Wharf Boat, in the
following summary manner

merchant at Point Douglas has arranged to
start heavier concern at Hastings and as
preliminary has bought the st. Paul Wharf

We dfote close to the iron railing. The
house was frame, prettily built in cottage

added to its gloomy appearance. A wild
prickly vine, which bore no blossom, had

The Queens Visit to France.
The London Times, of August 18th

The London Times, of August 18th, says
I" The mud village of Julian the Apostate
was not more different from the pompous
capital of Louis XVI, nor that capital from
the beautiful city that now spreads itself over
the valley of the Seine, than are the circum
stances of this day from any which have pre-
coded them during the long annals of French
and English history. English Kings, have.
ere now, swept along the streets of Paris,
but they came to claim a kingdom which
they could not hold, or in triumph for vic
tories to be speedily and bloodily avenged
1t is curious fact that never since France
was consolidated into one nation-and before
that time Paris had no tigh. to th1 title of
the capital of .France-has an English mon
arch entered her gates in peace. Henry V.
went there, indeed, to celebrate his short
lived triumph, and Henry VI. to assume a
crown, which soon glided from his neryeless
grasp. Charles Ill. was there an exile and a
fugitive, and James IL. concluded his dis
honored life under the shelter of the power
OF the Grand Monarch. Now, at last, in the
iuflness OF time, we witness spectacle
which our rugged forefathers probably never
desired, and which we, however anxious.
could never have hoped to see-the inter-
cnahge OF Offices OF the most cordial friend
ship, marking not only the sincerity of indi
vlduaf regard, but the union of two great
nations, never hitherto wont to exchange
other courtesies than those which diversified
the brief intervals Of a conflict extending.
With little intermis5ion, over perion of
eight hundred years. Ten years ago Queen
Victoria met at the d'En .he then sovereign
OF France, but the happy emens of that day
were clouded shorty after by events which,
though they did not shade the amity of the
two nations, introduced GOODNESS between
the two Royal families, never wholly remov-
ed during the remaining days of the dyndsty
Of Orleans
