The Grasshopper Famine,

We notice, by the card of Mayor BR1sBIN
that the meeting in regard to the grasshop-
per famine in Stearns County, for Tuesday
evening last, was so SHINY attended, that il
was de emed expedient to adjourn it over to
another time. We regret this; though we
are not surprised at it. These hard times
harden. men against such appeals to their be-
nevolence. When even rich men find it diff
ficult to provide for their daily and necessary
wants, charity is apt to go begging or
rather begins at home, and, unfortunately,
ends there
For another reason, this appeal falls dull
upon the pubic ear of St. Paul. Perhaps no
place in the Northwest expects to be so Sc
verely tried this winter, in pocket and pa
thence, as the people of this city, by calls for
assistance from hundreds Of their own popu-
lation, whom the coming winter will see
without employment, and without bread. To
sustain, find bread, and find fuel for the dcs-
titute Irish in our midst, no doubt strikes
many as quite burden sufficient, without
shouldering the damages which the grasshop-
pers have inflicted upon a portion of the
Germans of Stearns County. But this is a sell
fish mode ofreasoning; and VIC trust our peo-
pie will nevertheless make an effort to be-
stow at least mite into the treasury of re-
lief for the more northern sufferers, and yet
still have sufficient left for the poor and dis
tressed of their own town. "Whoso eiveth
to the poor lende,h to the Lord" If you like
the security, down with your dust.

The LCSislat.ure.

Several districts are yet in doubt The
Republicans claim to have chosen two of the
Representatives in the Wright and Carver
district. The contest between Bradley (Rep. }
and Adams Dem. for Senator is also very
close, with the chances in favor of the lat
ter. We also claim the election of Jared
Benson of Anoka, to the Senate, over Ban
fill OF Manomin. The vote is very close and
it will take the official canvass to determine
who is elected. Banfl is at any rate neligi-
bic, not having resided six months in the
District, as required by the constitution.
In the Morrison and Crow Wing district,
Arson Northrop, Independent, is elected to
the Senate over Sturgs, the Democratic nom-
inee.
In the Sibley and Mcleod district, John
ii. Stevens, Republican in principle, is
chosen to the house. He is understood to
be in favor of the election of one Republi-
can and one Democratic U. S. Senator.
We have probably carried Dickinson. Rep.
who ran for the House in the Blae Earth
district; AMI deducting the Winnebago In
dian poll at the agency Of ITO, the whole
Republican ticket is chosen in that district.
1t looks to us, as if we had the Legislature
this side up with care"

The ElectiOn-Laughing and Winning,

The Pioneer yesterday morning again elects
Mr.. Sibley-in horn-which it Justify
blows, over a report it invents about 400
majority in Brown county for Sibley, and 200
in Pembina, ''as far as heard from''
Now all this, the Pioneer knows to be
sheer "hapdoodle," which term was defined
by learned judge to mean "thc stuff fools
are fed upon"
1t knows that there are not 400 majority
in Brown county nor the half of it scarce
ly the third of it; and it knows, moreover,
that no portion of Pembina had been heard
from, and that least of ALL are there 200 votes,
all told, legally and properly, in the remnant
of Pembina county lying east of the Red
River of the North
In making these remarks, we do not loose
sight of the fact, that the Pioneer folks have
every reason to expect the most liberal and
expansive frauds in Brown county.
1t was named after 10. Brown, the veriest
political trickster in the Territory and there
is no doubt the Jnggler has tried hard to
render it worthy of its name.
For it to cast an honest, white mans vote,
would be out of keeping with his character,
and derogatory to his established reputation
for "skulduggery;" and as he has been just
appointed Sioux Indian Agent, it is not to
be doubted he would be jealous to poll all
the Brecch-C louted Savages of those parts,
in body, for Democracy and Sibley.
Still, the official returns from all but one
precinct, in that county, have arrived, and
the other is reported, and we think the fig
ures in our table are very nearly correct.
1t is we'll understood what the Pioneer is
about by throwing out these bogus reports.
1t is whistling to keep up the courage of
its friends and it wants to hold Sibley up
as elected, until after the Wisconsin Sta,e cleo
tion early in .Nocember!
If it honestly desires to inform the public
of the true state of the poll, why has it sup
pressed any tabular statement, corrected from
day to day, of tine returns as they come in
The MinnesOtian has published nothing but
what came to us in tangible form, and the
only glaring mistake made by US thus far,
wss in giving any credence to even part of
the bogus Democratic express which brought
the humbug repors from Pierce, Davis and
Todd Counties.
The Pioneer talks of laughing and winning.
There is such thing as "laughing out of the
wrong side of the mouth y and the way the
returns are coming in for Ramsey ON the
Lake Shore, leads us to expect the Pioneer
will be considerably awry about its speaking
apparatus this morning, and that it will haul
in its horns and that flag, simultaneously,
when the official returns are canvassed.
And as for Pembina we shouldn't Won
der if 10 Rolettc's precinct, when heard
from, pleases the Pioneer as little as the
Lake Shore figures do. "All is no gold that
glitters ~

The Cat on! of the Rag.

Just as we expected and said, the reports
that county called Davis had given 23S
majority for Sibley, sail the votes cast y and
that county called Pearce, had polled 19l
inajori'y for Sibley, also, "all the votes cast
to use the Pioneer phaseology out to
have been only teeler, put forth to see how
much of barelaced fraud of that kind would
ne tamely borne. An Interview with the
a:ledged express messenger, who brought
these reports to st. Paul. enables us to ex-
pode the whole, as a fiction, fabrication.
baseless and without foundation. He now
alleges, that in remnant of what uas Davis
county, beyond Mceker, there was poll
opened at one place, at which 19 votes are
said to have been polled, and that Sibley re-
served all the votes cast there. This is quite
different story, and makes quite differ
ence in results. But we doubt even the 19
votes story, as we do also the 100 majority
for S,blcy reported from Todd county by this
same veracious messenger.

Newspaper Fusion.

The st. Louis Iateliigmcer has been merg-
ed into the Eveaiag .Ncws. The two will
hereafter be published as an afternoon paper.
Motives of economy caused this fusion. The
!Neaos has been in fact, the evening edition of
the Inttltigencer, heretofore.
There is report that the three Republic
can papers in Dubuque are to be united into
one, which if true, IS first rate financial as
we'll as political idea. One good Republican
paper is all that can be decently supported in
that Border. Ruffian headquarters.
There is also report that the Republican
and Wing of Quincy are about to be married.
Two Republican papers in Quincy are not
needed. We have also heard that an zen
gagement' existed between the st. Paul
Times and .Ninnesotian, which would be very
likely to ripen into wedlock before spring.
One of the great drawbacks to the success
of Western newspapers is, that there are too
many of them. They cripple and starve
each other to death. No Western town un-
der 10000 inhabitants will give decent sup
port to more than one Republican daily pa

Washington County.

The Saltwater Messenger in reviewing the
result in that county, says:
Never was an election more warmly con-
tested than in this city, as well as throughout
the entire county, and never was victory
more gloriously won. With the political
sentiment of the county always heretofore
against us-with the influence of the Land
Office of this city against us,-wlth the mon
ev Of rich opposition candidates, both for
State and other Offices against us,-with can
d;,,ates on the State ticket selected from our
.,i,y to draw a strong local support to their
t,,.tet with everything against US but the
r;r,,t an 4 strong hands and brave hearts to
MAINTAIN ne right, the Republicans entered
the contest ~ con the most unequal terms /;
but armed with the power of truth and JUS
ticc they gallantly fought and nobly won one
of the most brillia.' ut po't'cal victories
achieved in the Territory,
Our maJorities, it will be seen, range IRON
no for 1t. Governor, to 321' for NcM"ra",

from LOG for Assessor, tn 2So Tor Wilson,
Clerk of the District Court, on the county
ticket! Well and gloriously done, Republic
cans of Washington county! In VAIN was
money poured out like water to defeat YOU
in vain did the Germans, the Sibley's, the
Becker's, and the Robertson's labor to
deceive and mislead the peOple-in vain were
the most foul and detestable falsehoods cir
culated on the eve Of the election, to drive

MANKATo, Oct. IA, 1857.
G. d. GILFILLAN, EsQ.-SIR-We sent

on the morning of the election to watch the
moves.
There were ITO votes clst at the Agency,
and these men report that these voters were
men or devils, as you please, who could not
be picked out, or selected by customs, habits,
manners or looks, from the fill blood Indians,
for but very few Of them) and their names
were told or spoken by Interpreters. They
came to the polls dressed in blankets, Lggins
and breech-clous, carrying arms and war-clubs'
and with their faces painted, (from 81 to oo
Tndians), to all appearances having no claims
to the rights of suffrage.
The person appointed to take the census
for that precinct has reported only AZ legal
voters on the Reservation.
Very respectfully yours
