The Result.

We have just heard the result Of the
great convention held at Leavenworth on
the e8th of April to depose the Governor
and to elect another in his place. The
whole thing proved total failure, with
the exception: it was changed into a
"squattsr meeting for the purpose Of
Dedsessing some grievances growing out
of the settlement on the Delaware lands,
and itended in the death of MALcox
CLARE at the hands of Mr.. McCREA, the
particulars Of which We have already Civ
en-.
K committee was appointed Oh sub
sequent meeting of the persons engaged
in this transactions. to. warn, suspected
persons 10 leave the Territory. In ae-
cordance with that resolve we learn
that Mr. Gould, MIR. Phillips, MIR.
Gfaat and Mr.. Warren. have each
received notice to depart by a given day.
An attempt was made to drive Mfr. PM
LIPS of. but as he did not appear willing
togo at his masters bidding, he was ar
rested By this committee, taken across
the riyer to- Weston, No., his head was
shaved. after which he was tarred and
fsathered, rode upon rail, then, an at
tempt was made to force him to sign an
instrument of writing agreeing toexpa-
triate himself forever from Kansas. He
refused to comply, bat as it was found an
attempt at rescue was about to be made
he was set at liberty, with an injunction
that If ne was again found in Kansas
Territory he should be hung. We are
proud to learn that the next morning he
was In Leavenworth running balls, and
had taken a solemn resolve that he was
done with boys, play.
In addition to the above facts in rela.
ton to the lynching of Mr.. PHILrrs,
wesre subsequently informed that he was
forced down upon his knees, and then
ssld at public auction, a degraded slave
acting as anctioneer. The Leasenwortf
Herald of the 18th inst, says -

Another Great Sale of Real Estate.

We are again called upon to mention sale
of unimproved lands in our vicinity, which
while it proves great Speculation to the
seller, at the same time proves that Mime
sofa lands are still rapidly advancing in
value.
Last April, Col. McKenty entered a large
body of prairie lands in the lower part of
Washington County, which had been in
market since 1S48, but had not attracted the
attention of either settlers or spectators.
Yesterday he sold 5000 acres of the same to
company Of substantial farmers from
Chester County, Pa, for $25, OOO-thus re-
alizing the handsome profit of So IS per
acre upon his original investment. The
lands are situated about twenty miles
from Saint Paul, and some four or five
miles from Point Douglas. The soil is good
but destitute of timber-all the timber lands
in that quarter having long since been taken
up. But under the management of the
stalwart Pennsylvanians they will soon be
fenced withpine boards, and made to produce
such crops as their owners never grew upon
the banks of the Delaware.

More &c superior Politics.

The last Superior Chronicle, which we re-
ceiyed on Thursday, announced the fact that
Orrin w. Rice-the brother of and confden-
tial political manager for our honorable
Delegate in the Superior region, had received
the Democratic nomination for the As
sembly from the Assembly District in "'s-
coasin, composed of the Counties OF Doug
las, Polk, st. Croix, &c. Mr.. Gray, OF st.
Croix, had previously received the nomina-
ton of that party at the lower end of the
District but 0rrin, having got through vot-
ing and managing for his brother and friends
in Minnesota, it was concluded-no doubt
peradvice from head-quarters-that he might
as well take a seat in the Wisconsin Legis-
lature-provided he could get in by the aid
of the same voters he used in Minnesota on
the 9th of October. Orrin is very clever
young man; but it appears to us he would
be more at home in Missouri and Kansas,
under the lead of his brother Henry's par
ticular friend, Atchison, than here in Mime
sofa under the lead of that brother himself.
Cause why Atchison would stick to him
and own up that he was doing well whereas
here the wire puller, as soon as his tricks are
discovered, has not the manliness to own his
knowledge Of them.
We rather incline to the opinion, however,
that Orrin will not visit Madison officially
this coming winter, no more than certain OF
his brothers friends will St. Paul. The
Superior Chronicle repudiated the nonlina-
ton of the Douglas County Democracy"
and held on to Gray-much to the chagrin,
as we learn, of certain leading land pirates
at Superior.
The whole affair is most disgraceful out
rage upon the moral and legal sense of the
people of Minnesota and Wisconsin; and we
thank Heaven that the life Of the distin-
guished Republican Representative in Con-
gress from the adjacent Wisconsin district
has been spared, in order that he, who feels
an interest in the matter, may knowingly be
prepared, if necessary, to expose the corrupt
den of villains which has established itsel
about the mouth of the st. Louis River.

Presidential Wire-PullinS.

The Washington correspondent Of the n.
Y. Times, writing OH the Oath, says: "The
friends of Hon. George NJ. Dallas for the
Presidency are moving steadily, silently and
cautiously, in his behalf; and already the
movement is far more formidable than the
friends of rival candidates suppose. Prudent
and skillful politicians are laying the wires
in each section of the Union; and every meas
ure calculated to ensure success, which can
be instituted at this early day, is being
availed of. The friends of Mr.. Buchanan,
however, have taken the alarm, and are en-
deavoring to get him home again, carly as
possible, to command his own forces in per-
son. Mr.. Buchanan's friends have been re-
lying, with good deal of confidence, upon
his Ostend Manifesto, to secure him the aid
of Mr.. Soule and his coterie; but it has been
discovered that these are likely to lend their
efforts to aid the Dallas cause; and Senator
Slidell, of Louisiana, has gone Oh a pilgrimage
ing off the Dallas movement if possible. In
this, the present prospect is that he will be
disappointed. Another object of his South
ern trip is said to be to prevent the consum
nation of a negotiation for the N. 0. Delta
to l. L. Sigur, its former proprietor, who is
bitterly hostile to the Senator, and is likely
also to lead the Dallas forces in that section.
am informed, however, that the bargain for
the transfer of the Delta has been concluded.
The game of the Presidency is becoming dali
ly more complicated, as you will perceive"

GEORGE SUMNER AND THE EMPEROR OF
RUss1A.-The London Times gives the fol-
lowing anecdote, which will not fail to attract
attention and interest in the United States !:
I" Some time back, when Russian prospects
appeared far brighter than they are now, a
proposition was made to an American gen.
tleman recently in Paris, to enter the Rus
sian service, with a high title and position
near the person of the Emperor. The reply
was, that too high an estimate was placed
upon his talents, but that such as they were,
they were due exclusively to his own country,
and to republican principles" This report
has been current lately in diplomatic circles
in Paris. A title of nobility and the posi-
ton of aid-de-de-camp to the Emperor Of
Russia was offered to George Sumner, who
made the foregoing reply. Whatever sym
pathies may exist either for the Allies or for
the Russians, all must admire its truly
American sentiment.

A YANKEE "NoTIoN"-The latest notion
from the land of shoe-pegs and wooden clocks
is an apparatus whereby ladies can manage
their skirts while stepping into or out of
carriage, going up or down stairs, and in the
streets, and all the while keep their hands
in their pockets. The plan is perfectly sim
pie, and the inventor exhibited at the Crys-
tai Palace lay figure, with the machine at
tached to large and admiring crowd of
both sexes the other evening There are four
small pulleys attached to the waist under
meath the dress, over which runs a small
cord one end of which is attached, with di-
aper pins, severally to the front, rear and
sides of the skirt, at about the height of the
knee. The other ends terminate in loops,
which are he'd into the pockets on either side.
If lady wishes to 60 up stairs, she pulls up
No. l, in the right pocket, and instantly the
dress rises in 'front.' SO that the ascent is made
with perfect grace. No. 2, in the left hand
pocket, elevates the rear in the same manner
and all pulled at once lift all the skirt knee
high. This maneuvre is intended FOR very
muddy crossings.--Tt'o York Sunday Corr

The PROPHECY AND THE Boast. - The
New York Evening Post publishes letter
from ex-President Van Buren,, which has not
been in print before. 1t was called out by
his son Johns boast, that New York would
be carried by $4,000 in favor of the Pierce
ticket. The Post has more faith in the pro-
phesy of the Father than in the boast of the
Son. Here is the letter:
LINDENwALD, Oct. 2, 1913.
Dear Sir:-I hope you will pardon my
long delay in acknowledging the receipt and
returning you my thanks for your spirited
and truly patriotic letter. You may be as
sured that you will never have cause to re-
greet the zeal with which you have embarked
in the freesoil cause. If there is anything
certain IN politics, it is its ultimate and per-
manent success.
With best wishes for health and happin-
ess,
Very respectfully and truly yours.
