BIcorRY WELL DEscRrBED.-O'Connell describes
religious big:try in the following nervous Ian
guage:
She has no hood, and cannot think; no heart
and cannot feel When she moves, it is in wrath;
when she pauses, it is amid ruin her prayers are
curses; her God is a demon her communion is
death; her vengeanceis eternity her decalogue
is written in the blood of her victims, and if she
stops for a moment in her Internal fight, it is
upon kindred rock, to axhet her vulture fang for
more sanguinary desolation.

Elegant Extract from the Newly-eiec,ed Printer.
We find the following language relative to
Mr.. Vaughn, in the organ Of the Corruption
Party Of this city:
"Mr. Norris urged on the floor Of the House
that the seat belonging to Mower County was
already occupied when Mr.. Colville appeared.
Physically speaking, that was true. A pair Of
pants, with human s,ufing, filled the chair which
had been set apart for the member from Now
er; but legally speaking, the seat was vacant
just as much so as if the aforesaid pants had
never migrated from the town where they had
been donned. and where in all probability they
will soon be dofed."
The aforesaid "pair Of pants" contained the
limbs Of an honest man, which is not the case
with the pants of the writer Of the above. The
publicity Of this fac. is sufficient without further
mention of the article or its author.

achieved signal victory in the election of their
candidate for Judge, defeating Ex-Governor
Ransom by a handsome majority. Ransom was
imported into the district as the strongest man in
that hitherto locofoco hole; but the just sensi-

this Territory, and Franklin Pierce, President
of the United States, before our readers, who
we consider as well qualified to judge Of the
merits of the documents as ourselves. The
former contains many good suggestions-the
latter is made up Of special pleadings, devoted
mainly to our foreign relations and to the dis
cussion of the popular sovereignty" doctrine.
Good bye, Mr.. Pierce the country needs your
services no longer.
Only Two CANDIDArEs.-It was given in
as evidence before the Committee appointed to
investigate the facts in the case Of Messrs.
Howell and Tillotson, that there were but two
candidates running for the Office of Councillor
in Fillmore County, viz Warren J. Howell
and Benjamin F. Tillotson. When the vote
was counted, it was found that 165 had been
given for Benjamin F. Tillotson, 1876 for War
rem J. Howell and 35 for w. J. Howell, CIV
ing Mr.. Howell majority Of votes over his
opponent. The clerk of. the election, in maxi
ing his returns, committed an error by writing
the name of Mr.. Howell VIM. j. Howell, and
in consequence of this mistake, the Legislature
of the Territory of Minnesota has deprived
Mr.. Howell Of his seat. Is there on record
more outrageous proceeding! Let it be re-
membered that there were but two candidates
in the field-Howell and Tillotson-the former
received ITO votes, the latter l65, and yet the
man receiving the Lowest number of votes Of
the People is permitted to occupy the place Of
the man, having received the highest number OF
votes.
One Coop DEED.-The only act worthy of
commentator which the Council of the Min
nesota Legislature has been guilty Of this ses-
sion, was the reference, yesterday forenoon, of
that part of the Governors message relating TO
Slavery, to the Committee on contested cleo
tons. The gentlemen Of the Council showed
their good sense in the movement
No EvIDENcE.-Mr. Tillotson, who claims
the seat rightfully belonging to Mr.. Howell,
has produced no evidence to impeach the evil
dence produced by Mr.. Howell, and yet, not
outstanding this, and Notwithstanding that H.
had the majority Of votes Of the people, still he
has been ousted from his seat. Voters of Fill
