gagged in Prairie du Chen trade: Alhambra
Milwaukee, Itasca and Ocean MATCHMAKING
1873 arrivals.
In the Dubuque and Dunlieth trade were
the following: Fanny Harris, Grey Eagle

seasonre regularlyin in the st. Louis trademark
ing about 100 arrivals.
Besides the above there were large mum
Der of transient boats that made one or two
trips apiece, principally from St. Louis and
points on the Ohio River. The arrivals di-
rect from Pittsburg number 81.
There were 24 arrivals from Lake Pepin
previous to the breaking up of the ice there
and after the resuming of navigation here
and on the Minnesota Rvcr-between the
18th of April and the lst of May-the II. S.
Yeatman, Revelle, Equator, Wave and Time

1t will thus appear that of the 965 arrivals,
240 were from the Minnesota River, and "a
from points this side of the Lake, leaving the
number of boats that have come to St. Paul
direct from points without the Territory 7O1
-an increase of l25 over last year.

The Political Gamblers and JOkers.''
The great question now among sporting
circles is, acho is the "gentleman fond of his
joke?"
The fraternity are little jealous of Cor
man and the Democratic party for thus get
ting up little joker -" now you see him
and now you dont,"-on their own hooks, to
cheat the people out of their rights as they
gamble them out Of their property, and
they think it unfair, moreover, that the lead
ers of that party should yet have the effron-
terry to still stick themselves up for respecta-
BILE people, and " honorable" men.
Sporting men think that if the Democratic
leaders intend to pursue this branch of the
profession" it Nill be more in accordance
with the fitness of things if they would
forthwith mount its badges, to wit: a
white napless stovepipe hat, and six inch
wide mourning bands around them, in order
first that they should be free of the guild, and
second in crowd be recognized by them,
and when cheating and robbing was going on
that they as q ''brothers of the cord" would
escape scot free! Dog does not want to eat
dog.
Some think that German is the gentleman
fond Of his joke himself because, like the lit
tie joker of the gamblers, the best descrp-
tion of his course of action is,-''now you see
him. and now you DON'T; )" but there is one rea-
son against this supposition, he would never
put any joke or secret of his so strongly un-
der lock and key, as to require force to make
him give it air!

Annual Review of Steamboat Statistics

Annual Review of Steamboat Statistics.
We had in part prepared the following
article several days since, but other duties
having engrossed our attention, the compile
ton of it was necessarily delayed.
1t will be noticed with peculiar gratifca-
ton the annual increase of the Steamboat
trade during the last fourteen years, not on
ly as illustrative of the rapid and permanent
growth of our city but as cvidencing cor
responding development of the industry and
resources of the whole Northwest.
Lake Pepin was opened this year so that
boats came through ON the evening of the
3Oth of April, and reached St. Paul early on
the morning of the lst of May, and the ''last
boat" left our port on the 14th of November,
thus making the season Of through naviga-
tion" but 1913 days in length-eight days less
than the unprecedented short season of last
year, eighteen less than the average of sea-
sons during the last nine years, and thirty
two days less than the season of 1851.
1t will be seen that the number of Arri-
walls this year, though showing a very mark
ed increase over last year, have not come up
quite to the mark we predicted, which is ow-
ing in part to two causes, viz: the astonish-
ing and unprecedented shortness of the sea-
son, and the general stagnation of business
produced by the financial troubles at the
East. The increase in the number of boats
in the trade is 20, being more than the total
number of boats in the trade in 1852 But
the most remarkable increase, and one show
ing the healthy state of business is the in-
crease in tonnage. 1t will be noted that the
rate of increase in tonnage is greater than
the rate of increase of the number of arri-
walls or the number of boats in the trade, thus
demonstrating the inc: eased capacity of boats
now in the trade over those in years past.
The following table it is believed will show
the correct number of arrivals made by the
different boats in the trade this season men,

ballot box is free, and above all, as long as it
is pure, civil war,-bloodshed among brothers
internal connections to weake EN- us as o ma
tion-will be unknown, because unnecessary,
and without sufficient purpose to occasion
them.
But if contrary state of things should
arise-if party in the country, in power for
the time being. finding itself going down hill
in popularity, should attempt as the Demo-
cratic party now appears to be doing through
out the country to keep itself in office by
means of wide spread frauds at elections
frauds that go far beyond polling a few illegal
votes int this or that precinct proceeding even
to the length of incenting elections that were
never held-inventing poll lists of tie names
OF voters not i'll existence, or only found in
city directories and old census returns,-
such frauds, in word, as Kansas and Min
nesota have lately witnessed-then we have
arrived at stage in the history of our gov
ernment when republican institutions are
farce, the ballot box is a farce, the right of
suffrage is farce and the blow is struck,
which sooner or later, will bring upon US war,
and revolution and civil commotion, inevi-
tably.
AS the Declaration of Independence re-
marks, "men are disposed to suffer while
evils are sufferable" rather than take up
arms to right their cause. But the time does
come eventually, when the long, pent up
grievance finds vent and vengeance in a
bloody explosion
How long will the American people stand
having their will Knocked and their suffrages
disregarded, by means of hordes of Irish
Ignorant dupes' of demagogues-led up
without reason or judgment, to the polls, to
outvote them several times apiece-to have
Indians voted by the tribe ; and suffer, ad-
ded to this burden on the camel's back, to
have forged returns of elections held nowhere
by people in the moon =? Men who are the
real people of the country, its bone, its mus
Gle, its stamina and intelligence will begin to
say to each other-"its no use voting they'll
cheat us out of it anyhow" And the time
will not be long before they will begin to
think of another remedy!
Men and brethren-if you would save the
country, and perpetuate our Institutions
must preserve the purity anu sanctity of the
Ballot Boo!

The Prospect for Workfngmen at the
East Frightening.

East nTAS utcAluSs
Indications now appear to show that eff.
fects of the panic upon the laboring popula-
tion of the East will not be so calamtous as
supposed. The panic having ceased, many
establishments are resuming work, and taking
back aportion of the unemployed.
The New York Times speaks encouraging
ly of the condition of things in that city and
vicinity. 1t says: "Work has been re-
sumed in several large manufacturing estab-
lishmcnts in the city and neighboring towns,
and on many of the buildings now in pro-
gress, on which labor had been suspended
work has been resumed, and the meetings of
the unemployed workingmen have daily d.
minished in numbers. We shall probably
have no more of them after this week."
Asan evidence that the stringency is not felt
very generally in New York, the Herald
states that for the last two weeks the rs-
ceipts at the theatres in that city have been
100000 or $4,000 per week. 1t is like
wise curious fact that while the journals
are filled with reports of distress among the
working classes, the theatres and saloons on
the easterly side of the city-which places of
amusement are supported almost entirely by
mechanics-are quite full every night.
But the fact of the manufactures having
resumed, or being about to do so, is certain
ly encouraging.

ssFun of Sound and Fury.o &c.

We learn that Gov. German, disgusted
with the ineficiency of the Pioneer, has him
self become one of the Editors of that con-
cern. In the two last issues of that journal,
in some of the longest articles, knowing ones
recognise the peculiarities of the new Edi-
tors style. If the Pioneer were correct, in
some former editorial emanations, that the
new editor was sort of Bohon Upas that
poisoned everything he favored, the ultimate
i'll success ofthat paper, in vindicatingthe DEM
ocratic party from the odium OF the forgery
transactions can be easily connected.

The latest dispatches from New Orleans,
dated the 18th, says that the Steamer, Dick
Keys, which took Walker from the mail boat
in Mobile Bay, had returned, having placed
the fillibusters on Walkers steamer, Fashion.
which sailed the same day for Nicaragua
The whole force consists of about 400 men,
with 1000 stands of arms. and large quan-
tity of munitions and provisions for three or
four months.
The Fashion obtained clearing for Grey
town, IN order to avoid the authorities.
In Washington, the Government Officers
do not fully credit the report that emphatic
instructions have been sent South, with
view, IT possible, to intercept Gen. Walker
ana his party. Having got off safely, they
will doubtless proceed to their destination in
safety.

The CAPTURE of Delhi.

Not the least gratifying item ofintelligence
by the Arabia, is the account of the capture
of this stronghold of the rebels in British In
dia, after desperate conflict of six days.
The assault on Delhi was commenced on
the 14th September, and the seige train hav
ing previously reduced the bast'on and cur
ia n against which its fire was directed, the
attack was made in four columns, at which
the one composed of the Cashmere Contingent
was repulsed, the others were successful. An
entrance was effected at the Cashmere Gate,
to the north Of the city, and an advance was
made along the ramparts to the Sabul gate,
where an obstinate resistance was made by
the mutiners. The next day the British COM
manced firing on the magazine, and stormed
that position on the 10th, capturing 125
pieces of cannon.
Three more days of hard fighting ensued,
when the place was stormed by assault at
several points, and carried by the British.
The loss of the British in killed and woun-
ded, is stated at 600 men, including some so
officers.
The resistance of the mutiners was obstin-
ate, and as no quarter was given, We may
suppose that the atrocities which marked the
opening of the rebellion at that point few
months since was bloodily avenged. Orders
were given by Gen. Wilson to give no quarter,
but to spare the women and children,
and we suppose that of course such of the
male citizens as had not taken up arms were
also spared.
The troops were also ordered to abstain
from excess and pillage it is reported that
the slaughter Of the mutiners was immense.
Great numbers of them however escaped
among them the king of Delhi and his two
sons.
General Outram had reinforced General
Havelock at Cawnpore. The latter had star
ted for Lucknow, at which place the garrison
held out gallantly.
Before this, it is safe to assume, they have
been relieved.
Reinforcements were arriving in India and
before the opening of another spring, the
English will be more firmly established in In
dia than they were before the breaking out
of the rebellion, and they will take good care
that the great arsenal of their empire shall
not again be left to the almost sole guardian
ship of the dative troops, who are deceitful,
and treacherous. The present rebellion, be-
ing crushed so promptly, may be said to be

The Pioneers Sunday Leader.

The Pioneer of Sunday appears to come to
the conclusion, about the forgery of those
election returns nstigated by the Sunday eau
Gus, that for itself and party-''the least said
is soonest mended."
Having tried all the varieties of abuse and
Notwithstanding endeavored to Offset our
charges of real crimes, by inventing magma
ry ones against the Republican party-it
seems to intend now to obtain by caolery
All advantage in the contest, which its abuse
was too strong and its argument too weak
to effect by its previous course.
But having received from it thus far in the
contest no courtcsies which call upon us for
rcciprocation, we shall pursue our own line
of policy, just as we commenced the battle
against the forgers of election returns, with
out reference to its opinions, and solely guild
ed by our own sense of what is our duty as
conductors of free press, planted upon the
outward walls of the citadel of liberty, whose
province 1t is to watch every invasion of pop
ular right, and promptly give the alarm on ev-
cry sign of danger.
1t wishes us to leave the matter of the "in-
tegrity of certain election returns" in the
'hands of the Board of Cavasscrs composed
as Gt says) it is of men of unquestioned hon
or, and permit the result to be determined,
under Providence, by their integrity and
sound Judgment"
When men grow so suddenly pious, as
this sentence indicates to be the present con-
dition of this Pioneer writer, whoever he
may be, it is regarded as bad sign. Pol
lock the poet, is emphatic in his "Course of
Time," "inswarning gainst the men who "steal
the livery of Heaven to serve the devil
in" But let that pass for the present.
1t is sufficient to reply to the Pioneer on
the score of the implicit confidence to be
placed in the Board of Canvassers that the
Republican party feel no such confidence
JOSEPH r. Brown is one of that Board, and
is now an officer of the Federal Government
His antecedents as political trickster are
notorious nor is it calculated to inspire ad-
dltional confidence in his acting on that Board
with fairness and integrity, that there is
tangible evidence extant, which goes to con-
meet him with system of election forgeries
and frauds perpetrated in the counties west
of Brown
With Mr.. Brown, Gov. MEDARY makes
Democratic majority in that canvassing
Board and he is a stranger amongst U.S.
He was pretty bitter politician in Ohio 8
and used to have the reputation, it may be
undeservedly, of not being an over-scrupulous
one. Perhaps he will do what is right but
we prefer to wait and see what we shall
see
In the meantime, it is our privilege and
duty as editors to give not only the people,
the real jury in this matter, al the light
upon the subject possible; but to call the at
tention of the Board of Canvassers, to any
matter proper to come up under their pur-
view, to aid them in the correct discharge of
their duty.
Thisis our position.

the average period of the arrival of the first
boat through the Lake during the last four
teen years has been on the 1lth of April,
and the average period for tie departure of
the last boat during nine years on the 18th
of November. The average number of days
navigation during the latter period is 2l6.
1t will be seen that we reckon the period
of navigation from the time of the arrival of
the first boat through the Lake-a period
generally ten days later than the clearing of
the river at this point, aud the past season,
fifteen days later.
The following table shows the amount of
wharfage collected during the last three years.
The decided increase during the past season
is in consequence of the rates being changed
from $3 90 per boat to five cents per ton:

A Specimen Of the Pioneers Fairness.
Gov GoRMAN's organ Of Saturday-per-
haps Gov. GoRMAN himself-gives proof of
the hardships to which its party is reduced
about these forged returns when it deliber-
ately misrepresents our strong denial in
Fridays paper Of Republican hands" hav-
ing anything to do with them, whatever, into
confession" that the Republican "leaders"
had all to do with them
The Minnesotan of yesterday Wedges that its
party leaders have been forging election returns. 1t
says speaking Of the returns from Pembina Cass and
Todd, that t"ey all 6ogus-aU orgeries together"
1t is not that we apprehend anybody ever
really believes anything appearing in the Pr
oneer that we notice this Justification; and it
is merely to show the reckless way these
"gentlemen fond of joke" do up these
things, that we here copy what we really
did say in our paper of Friday, upon which
the organ of the forgers has made the above
in.pudent and barefaced assertion. Here it
is -
"We understand there is strong motive for sending
the improved bogus returns Instead Of RoLErrE be-
Ing elected state SENATOR anu - NJ CHASk \e prother
of Secretary CHAsE to the House, which is the way it
fixed up when the st. Vincent returns were forged
these returns reported as likely to make Mr.
CHASE Senator instead of ROLETTE
"In word, we said, first and last we have no
confidence in any returns with majorties for anybody

as Todd
