Minnesota.

The Delegates elected TO the Minnesota Con-
situiionsl Convention, assembled at St. Pauls on
Monday of this week. Upon counting noses
it was found that the Republicans had hand
come majority in the Convention and would of
course be able TO control lis organization. As
no hour had been prescribed by the enabling
act for the organization Of the body the Repub
licans and Democrats agreed upon the hour Of
twelve o'clock, NJ The convention met al the
appointed hour, and duly urgani1-d by the
election Of Hon. St. A. d. Balcombe as Presi-
dent. The Democrats then seeded and or
ganized by themselves. The Republicans hav-
ing quorum of the whole body proceeded to
business, while their opponents maintain their
separate organization but do nothing
Our democratic friends are great sticklers for
law and court decisions-when the statutes aud
the courts act in subservency to their wishes.
They go the entire animal in the bred Scott
case, regarding Taney's dicia as their Delphian
oracle bu, when Mayor Wood is defeated in
New York, and their well laid schemes for con-
trolling the organic law OF new territory fall
through they defy laws, constitutions and courts
Modern, or Sham Democracy is jewel of ar
institution. 1t can be made to subserve any
purpose except justice.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Much excitement eX-
lists in regard to the administrations news on
the Tchauntepec question, but the administra
ton has nothing to do with any argument en-.
tered into between Mexico and the Louisiana
Company, nor does it form any other private
interests. Mexico has offered to extend for n
large pecuniary consideration the rights which
the U. S. acquired under the Gadson treaty,
connected with that subject. The correspon-
dence will be transmitted to Congress. The
Government has been officially advised that Ex-
alante has been selected by Costa Rtca as spe
cial Euvoy to the United States.
He.is expected to arrive by the next steamer,
but will not interfere with the functions of Mo-
lieno. His mission is in connection with the
freedom of the Nicaragua transit route, under
the projection of the great comlnercial powers.

to open a stateroom door and cautiously throw
something overheard into the water. In de-
sccnding, the body, which was enclosed in an

or cry, resembling that of an infant child. The
woman hurriedly entered the staterOom and
closed the door after her with a cautiousness and
alacrity, which to say the least, was most mys-
te ious Immediately there was hurrying too
and fro on the landing, and great rafting and
lighting of lanterns, and cropping about the
waters edge like so many DiogOnes' on the hunt
of honest men. Presently distinct splOshing
of the water was heard a short distance below,
when all hands started for the spot from
whence the noise proceeded, which they reach

IT Is NOT OFTEN THAT WE NOTICE EDrToRIALLY
a patent medicine; yet we feeIi duty when we
arc convinced an article is very nerritorious to
inform the public, that they, too, may be bene
flied by its use, and to prevent them from using
other articles that have no merit in them.
Now we wish particularly to recommend to
our readers, DR.. Stator&s Liter Inoigorator, as
an article that has given benefit and performed
cures, in our circle of acquaintance, that were
little less than astonishing. 1t is particularly
recommended for all Diseases of the Liver, as it
is Liner InrigorGtOr. Especially among our
own children have we noted its beneficial effects,
where the little sufferers, from bowel complaint
worms and other diseases, incident to children,
have been made quiet and perfectly cured by
the use of the article. 1t has testimonials that
none can doubt, for the cure of Jaundice, Dys-
pepsia and such troubles as always follow a de-
ranged Liver. A few such cases have come I'M
der our observation where it seemed almost to
work miracles
Our advice to families is not to. be without it,
as it will save many hours of pain by its speedy
use when disease first makes its attack..-AlatoO-
