INDEPENDENCE, NOV. "a, 81.
Mr.. EDITOR: There is a general dearth
of News Items with us at present, and l
can think of nothing which is really
worth the trouble of communicating
Our police records, which usually turn
up something spicy, this week show up
minus, with the exception of one little af-
fair, III which ISAAC HARTzELL was in
dicted for an assault upon Constable
REED. The case was plain enough but
the legal gentlemen who represented the
offended dignity of the State, neglected
to prove the locus an gao, and the defen-
dant went unwhipt of justice.
A civil case of some importance,
more in the principle involved, than the
amount in controversy, was tried before
Justice CHANDLER on Friday last. 1t
was an action of replevin, brought to re-
cover possession of an OK. Sometime,
about a year since, one GEO. MCFARLANE
took up an estray OK, and keptit from that
time until the LIST of the present month,
without. however, taking the steps re-
quired by law to discover the owner. On
the LIST of November, one MARION Cur
IT'S, hnding the OK upon his premises
took 1T up and Immediately complied
with tie law by advertising, DC. The
! question to be decided was, whether Nc.
EARLANE, the plaintiff, was entitled tc
the possession as against Mr.. CURTIS, the
defendant. The case was warmly con-
tested by the respective counsel, LEAvIrT
d WOODWARD for plaintiff, and LArHroP
for defendant, and submitted to the jury,
who found for the defendant.

Minnesota and Wisconsin Elections.

The Republican papers of Minnesota
still maintain that Ramsey has been le-
gally elected by GAG majority. The
Minnesotian warns the Democracy that
if they persist in claiming the fraudulent
returns from unorganized counties and
unciviized Indian precincts, their rascal
tiles will be exposed, and adds:
eff the dishonest leaders of the Dem
ocratic party of this Territory expect
they will succeed with their Supple
mentary Returns"-their manufactured
poll lists-their bogus precincts--with-
out the tallest kind of a fight for it, and
retribution at last, they are doomed to no
little disappointment; for there are plen-
ty of men enlisted for the war, who are
determined that as the Democracy could
not poll votes enough to fairly elect Mr..
Sibley, neither shall they cheat votes
enough into the canvass to defeat the
peoples choice, ALEXANDER RAMSAY,
who in spite of all their desperation is,
and will be, the first Governor of Min
nesota. Mark it ~ -
WfscoNsIN.-It is now generally con-
coded that Judge RANDALL, Republican,
has been elected Governor of Wisconsin
by about 400 majority. The Senate will
stand l3 Republicans and l2 Democrats ;
the Assembly 81 Republicans and 46
Democrats, giving majority of eleven on
joint ballot to the Republicans.

The distinguishing popularity of the Religious
Society is, that, not being founded upon a creed IL
invites the cooperation of every friend Of Truth,
Humanity, and Progress, without regard to secta-
rian or theological distinctions. The rights of those
who come into our assemblies are graduated by no
differences Of sex, nationality, or complexien. We
have no uIder of priests or ministers, lifted above
their brethren, to address us in u voice OF author
ity, to define tho Dor ndaries of thought, and in
ternret for US the will Of God. Free discussion
has for us no terrors. We say with MILTON,
''Though all the winds of doctrine be let loose to
play upon the earth. so Truth be in the field, we
do iniuriously to doubt her strength. Let her and
Falsehood graphic. Whoever knew Truth put to
the worst by a free and open encounter 7"

a dry and sapless theology, but for the renewal OF
our spiritual strengths and to worship the srrEESr
