Coop News FROM MINNESOTA. REPUBLICAN
TRIUMPH-The doubt that has hung over the
result of the election in Minnesota for week
past, is removed. The triamph Of the Republican
party is complete, and that too in the iace OF
the most stupendous frauds perpetrased by the
ProSlavery party.
The Minnesotian of tho 9Th inst, brings the
following returns: Republicans elected %, DEM
ocrats 50; to hear from, Is, making a Republl-
can majority, even should all the districts to be
heard from return pro.savery delegates. But
there is almost certainty that haif-a-dozen OF
them are Republicans. t .--s.z r,.s s.,
The St. Paul Pioneer, the Democratic organ,
of the sth, says: ave are apprehensive that we
"shrieked" too soon in reference tothe large
Democratic majority in the coming Conshtn-
tional Convention. Southern Minnesota sends
an almost unbroken delegation Of Republicans.

1yeption." So -. -'''- va

who trumped up the charge against the Mayor
and caused his arrest, were foiled IN the best

postponed the arrest until Monday night when
the writ was placed in the hands of the Marshal
with request to serve the writ at the time the
Mayor was presiding ever the session of Conn-
Gil, thence be dragged from his seat in the cham
Der to prison. But the Marshal would neither
lend himself TO DO that dirty trick nor let them
have the writ to hand to some supple tool, but
waited until after the Council had adjourned,
when he read his writ and took Mayor Went
worth's personal rccognizance for his appear
sace next day, SO that he was not in the eusto-
iy of the officer minute, from first to last. "a
The conspirators were beaten on another
point They tried to have the case brought be-
fore Commissioner, but Wentworth insisted
upon going before Z. S, Judge Drummond, who
very quickly kicked the malicious persecution

brought it before him. How're ana Stewart,

BURNED ALIvE.-A very painful affair occur
red in the township of Chasrin Falls, last week,
an account Of which has been given to us by
Mr.. w. w. Anger of that town. young girl
about Is years Of age, by the name Of Mooney,
residing with her parents on the east side OF the
village, had been subject to fits which were
usually accompanied by temporary insanity
While laboring under the effect of one of these
paroxysns, she left her home without being OBJ
served, and did not return. Nothing was seen
or heard of her till the next morning, when a
young man who went into the field of his IA
theirs farm TO see some brush heaps which had
been burning during the night, discovered some
portions of torn and haif burnt clothing near
the fires. On looking round he saw the dead
body of the girl half burnt up, and presenting
a horrible sight. How she caught fire, whether
by having sat down in her delirnm too near the
fgcs or otherwise, can never be known. Marks
of blood on the ground hundred feet from the
fire, showed her struggles with the flames, and
indicated some of the horrors of the sad fate Of
being burned alive. Her remains were brought
to this city for burial in the Catholic Cemetery
