The Gazette says our leader on We'd
nesday was a good "Black Republican
article" God forbid Its doctrines
were all democratic to the core, and it
is too late in the day TO steal Demo
cratic thunder. Ii we had adopted
the words of the demagoguc WILSON,
ado all you can to make Kansas a
slave state without suspicion" We
would then have preached Black Re
publican doctrines which would delight
the heart Of every Black Republican
politician in this State. Is not the
Gazette aware that it has always been
Democratic to secure to the people
the right to form their own institutions
in their own way! Is that Black Re-
publican doctrines If it be then cut
into slivers your Philadelphia platform
After the late returns from Minnesota
New York, Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey and others, We don''
wonder that our neighbour is anxious
to find 'prosclyte' but we assure hin
VIC have not the least disposition tc
fall in behind the hearse Of Black Re.
publicanism. We are too honest fol
that.

~ There has been much EXCL,

~ There has been much excite
ment among politicians during the can
vass Of the late State election, and
many strange bet made upon its re-
sult. A rather singular wager was
paid Wednesday last by ayoung and
beautiful lady Of this city. The fair
one is the owner of a beautiful lot Of
shining ringlets, and one Of these and
a kiss were bet with a young man who
resides in this vicinity that Gardner
would be the next Governor. OF course
she lost, and the young gentleman gal
lantly refusing to claim the wager, she,
with true woman's grit, took the shear,
clipped the curl from among its mates,
placed it in his hands, and, throwing
her arms around his neck, gallantly
paid the forfeit. We need not add
that the young man will treasure that
curl. We should.-Lynn { Mass.) Re

~Our readers will recollect that
some time ago the Rev. T. J. Simpson.
Of Pittsburg, while on his way to 4
meeting of the Prcsbytery Of hischurch,
ruined a young girl who had been
placed under his protection as : tray
cling companion. He was tried and
dismissed from his charge, his guilt
having been made apparent beyond 4
doubt. We now learn from the Louis
vile Courier, that this reverent seduc-
er is making strenuous exertions to be
reinstalled. Last week the Allegheny
Presbytery of the Cumberland Presby.
terrain Church met, when three peti-
tons were presented, asking that he
might again be admitted to the func-
tons Of the ministry. One was from
the missionary society, and the second
from the ladies se'oing society attached
to his former congregation. The third
was signed by about thirty of the mem
bers Of the church. The Presbytery
unanimously declined to oblige the
missionary and sewing societies." by

GIRLS TO TIE WEsr.-Our reporter
visited on Monday, the branch Office OF
the Children's Aid Society in Peter
Cooper's building, where poor girls are
being despatched West. There seem
cd at first rush of common Irish ser
want girls, who were quickly sent back
to the intelligence offices, being inform
ed that this was especially an enter
prise for scamstresses and factory girls
now ont of work. Then came the class
for which this humane enterprise was
especially designed, neat, thrifty look
ing, intelligent girls, from shops and
factories of every kind. 1t was truly a
moving spectacle to see SO many mod
est and industrious girls as were pres
ent reduced to such a strait. Some
had means to pay their passage to the
West, If the Society would direct
them; some could pay half the fare !;
many had no means at all, and we saw
one neat young girl Of seventeen, who
had no place to sleep in, and she said
she had eaten nothing for twenty
four bours.-N. y. Times.

Tho Result IN Minnesota

Rve,y mail from Minnesota more
strongly confirms the Report that this
new State is democratic TO the core;
that the republicans have not gained
the slightest foothold in either branch
of the legislature, and farther, that the
majority for Sibley will not be less
than five hunnred. The latest returns
foot up 1860 for Sibley; and 1897
for Ramsey making Sibley's majority
6l2. The official returns may change
that majority lightly, but the result will
not change it more than hundred
either way. The Pioneer and Demo
crat says the msjorities for the remain
der of the Democratic ticket will ap-
prosch twelve or fifteen hundred. The
Black Republican press are very silent
on the question, except to attribute
their defeat to the vote Of the ''injuns'
"a very weak plea indeed. The
shout Of victory that the opposition
set up on the receipt ola few favorable
returns and which was waited from
west TO east, with fanatical glee- the
congratulations on the glorious results
in the noble young state have been
hushed, and instead Of melting out
words ofpraise, the cry Of dishonesty
and "blankcted Indians" is raised by
the vanquished adversary. The new
State enters upon its career, as every
other State in the Union has done,
under democratic rule. Tho executive,
the Judicial, and the Legislative depart
mcnts arc filled with Democrats. All
attempts ofthe opposition to obtain the
reins of government have proved alb
hortive, and the trucly noble young
state has flung the banner of national
democracy to the breeze, under whose
broad folds they will rally from year
TO year, and with renewed power,
crush out each and every attempt of
their servile opponents to dishoner it
with nnwholesome laws and dishonest
legislation. We congratulate our Dem
ocratic friends in Minnesota, on their
success, fully confident that it has been
achieved by their manly and untiring
energy in the cause in which they
labor.

get q higher price. 10 Order to render
any funds available in buying wheat
here there must be . unanimity among
the farmsrs-they must sell their grain
at what buyers can afford to pay. Un-
til such arrangements are effected u
will put our grain in motion, We may
expect no fairer face upon money mat
tiers in the western cities.

The Money Market.

Our eastern exchanges are unani
nous in the assertion that the strin-
gency Of the money market is mater
tally decreasing, and that business is
assuming brighter aspect. Many of
the mills which either wholly or par
italy suspended operation are again
commencing work. From this move
ment, We have the assurance that there
is a better state of none airy affairs in
the East. The N. Y. Herald of the
10th, in speaking Of the availability Of
funds says, "Money is very abundant
where the right kind of securities are
offered, and the banks find it difficult
to employ all their idle funds. For the
first times, for many weeks, the banks
at the close Of the week, discounted all
the right kind of paper offered" This
10 cheering feature, inasmuch as free
circulation Of funds at the east may
have a tendency to make currency
more plenty here. There is perhaps
no BETTER sign Of the leasing up Of
money matters in the east, than the
fact that capital has manifest tcnden-
cy to creep from its hiding place and
seek investment. Such is the case.
There is also growing desire on the
part Of numerous capitalists to nibble
away first class paper. This betrays
an anxiety to have their idle funds in
circulation, and as soon as this feeling
shall have become general, ere shall
hear less Of panic, and scarcity of
available current funds. But this
looscning in the eastern market has
not been materially recognized in the
western cities. In Chicago, tie pres
cnt week is reported to be one of un-
common dullness in monetary affairs.
The Times report Of Wednesday says,
"Men whose alternate means are am
pie. have, with great difficulty been
able to get their paper negotiated, OF
to get extensions on their notes." Eas-
tern exchange in Chicago is worth 4a5
per cent. and is in fair supply. The in
activity Of the grain market this week
i an unpleasant feature. On moving
forward ofthis commodity depends the
plentifulness of money in this section
Il 10 useless to talk Of how matters
stand in the east; if the proper step.
are not taken to get our crops moved
forward there can be no plentitude o.
eastern funds here. We cannot have
our resources scattered about in the
fields Of Iowa, and expect to have
plenty Of available funds on hand
Were the wheat crop off western hand.
there would be NO lack. of funds here
New York spectators find Of late, large
sums with which to dabble in stocks
and the assertion is that money il
easy there. Cannot portion of it
