Minnesota Election.

The St. Paul Times ofthc 9th inst says:
by the returns received We think we are
safe in saying that ffty-four straight ont
Republicans have been elected to the Con-
vention, giving us majority Of SIR Later
returns may effect this result somewhat, but
they cannot reverse it. Minnesota is re-
deemed from the Border Ruffians!
p. S.-It was rumored last night that
Goodhue, Dodge and Freedom conties had
gone Locofoco, the latter by 14S majority.
The Minnesotion of the same date says
Subsequent intelligence makes it proba-
bic that the Democrats have managed to
elect one (Laude. of Mantorvillc. in the
18th district, which would make fifty onc
Republicans to thirty six Democrat. We
have not yet re ,eivcd any certain news from
the 9th and 10th, but reports which the
people bring from the up-country renders
it not improbable that the Republicans have
elected their whole ticket in the 9th, (Ben-
ton District
At any rate we claim with confidence tlie
election of four ont of eight In the 10:h
or Nieollet District, we have probably e.
lectcl four, possibly two. We now feel
confident that we have at least elected fifty
six, probably sixty of the delegates, either
of which numbers will make us good

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.
Highly important from Kansas.

We have in another column, says the
Chicago Tribune, very late and important
news from Kansas. The Mass Convention,
at Topeka, has resolved to maintain the old
and impregnabic position of the Free State
party-to pay no heed to the cnactments of
the felon Legislature imposed upon the Ter
ritory by Missouri mob-to stand by the
Topeka Constitution, and have no part or
lot in the approaching election for delegates
to the Constitutional Convention. All
these will be re-af1irmed by the Free State
Legislature Let him who can, gainsay the
wisdom of the decision at which freemen
have arrived.

Highly Pleased.

Most of the Buck African papers in this
State appear to be intensely delighted on
account of the appointment of 10. Wright
as Minister to Prussia. Their calculations
are loud and fcrvcnt. and their prayers that
10 will accept the mission exceedingly
earnest. Their Joy is caused by the hope
which 10 will be content with this bone that
is thrown him, and make no further dis
turbance I'M the "happy family" on account

TO grow uneasy on account of the, hot shot
which 10 was throwing into theirranks, ard
implorcl him to get an appointment for

The Buck-African prints in the free
States say the reason that the Repub-
licans of Kansas refuse to participate in the
election is, that they want it to become a
slave State, in order that the party may sue
ceed in 1860; at the same time the govern
ment officers in Kansas are imploring them
to vote. The object we suppose, of the
latter, is to keep the Democratic party from
iniuring itself by demonstrating its pro-
slavery principles. In other words the
Buck Africans beseechingly implcre the
Republicans not to allow them to injure
themselves. Such reasonable request
from such an amiable source will certainly
be granted

Bloody Tragedy.

The Cincinnati Commercial states that
on Saturday week Colonel John Price and
his son were shot in Clark county, n.y., m-
der the following circumstances: The lady
of COL Price, under the name of ''Molly
Broom" is a contributor to the Ohio Farm

journal she gave description of a family
residing in her neighborhood, from the mis-
management of whose head much domestic
affection and disastrous consequences had
arisen Unfortunately a neighbor named
Gay, took the matter as intended for him.

Price he demanded if he considered him.
self responsible for what his wife wrote
The Col, who was unconscious of what he
alluded to. replied in rather a jocular man
ner, that he was not, and the parties separ-
atel upon apparently friendly terms. On
Saturday morning, Col. Price was riding
ON horseback at the place above designa-
ted, his son similarly mounted, being
some distance behind, when he was
intercepted by Gay, who carried dou-
blebarrellcl gun, which he discharged
full at the Col, who fell from his horse to
all appearance dead. The son at this mo-
ment fastening to the spot. Gay drew a
revolver, and again fired with such fatal
effect that the son also fell. After thus
disposing of his victims, who were to all
appearances dead, Gay made of, and at the
present writing we are not advised whether
he has yet been arrested. The foregoing
was CLEANED from the COL, himself, who
rallied sufficiently to relate the particulars
of the murderous attack, as we'll as its prob
able cause. The father may possibly sur
vive, but there is no hope for the son.

corn, oats, DC.
His whole neighborhood is in ruins

buildings of all kinds are destroyed on less
