their acts would be nullified. He re-
commends early attention to the col
lection of revenue for the purpose of
building prisons. He alludes to the
rumor of the existence of an organiza-
ton similar to the Danitcs of Utah.
He advises action in reference thereto.
Other suggestions relative to amend
ing election laws and the protection
of school land are made.
The Democratic State ticket is prob
ably elected. The Free State party
have a majority in the Legislature.
Only about half the vote of the Terri
tory was cast for State officers, but
very decided expression was given
against the Lccompton Constitution,
being set down at 10000 in some pre-
cincts. In two districts the polls
were kept open, the Free State men
making arrests of fraudulent voters
under the recent Legislative act.
At Calhoun q Judge named Culvcrt
was arrested for stuffing the ballot
boxes. Another named Rcdman was
arrested for receiving fraudulent votes.
Culvert was taken to Leavenworth
with cannon belonging to the klcka-
poo rangers and paradcd through the
streets. Much excitement prevailed,
| and fears were entertained that serl-
Gus trouble would follow. The politi-
cal parties are much divided, the ma
iority being bitterly opposed to the
lI,ecompton Constitution.
| Gen. Calhoun, who is supposed t.
r be in western Missouri, has been ad
, viscd not to return to the Territory.
The Territorial Legislature OF Nan
sas met at Lccompton on the Attn ana
adjourned to Lawrence. 1t was said
that Gen. Denver signed a bill author
izing such adjournment.
The news from the Kansas election
may be briefly summed up, that the
Lecompton Constitution has about ten
thousand majority against it. The
Pro-Slavery men have elected the
State ticket, and the Free State mel
the legislature. The Free State mer
= = were divided in opinion as to the pro
a priety of voting on anything excep
Y the constitution, and consequently bu
4 a small share of their vote twas cas-
on State which accounts TO
the Pro-Slavery triumph.

Minnesota.

We take the following extract from
a private letter, dated at Minneapolis,
Dec. %, 1857:
Il The Legislature adjourn
ed over the holidays, and so | came
home to spend them with friends here
The State is Democratic, having a ma
jority in both Houses and all the State
officers, the Judges of the Supreme
Court, and one-half of the Judges of
the District Courts. Hon. II. Ii. Sib-
ley has been declared Governor, though
Ex-Governor Ramsey has GAP more
votes than Mr. Sibley. The Hon
Henry NJ. Rice and Gen. James Shields
have been elected T. S. Senators. Mr..
Rice is an old Indian trader, was our
former Delegate, and a fair man.
Though an INSCRIPTIONS politician,
yet knowledge of the wants of the
State, and his past efforts in Congress
for appropriations secures for him ma
ny strong friends among Republicans.
When Gen. Shields was defeated in
Illinois he came or was sent here with
the promise of the Senatorial Office
and he has obtained it. We have g
thousand men in Minnesota that are
more worthy and better qualified fol-
the office than he is. He is an Iia
Cathotic, and was elected Geca~se he
was a Catholic, and not because OF
his fitness for the honorable position

authority.
| Our Representatives in Congress arc
Messrs. Becker, Phelps and Cava
naugh. l am not personally acquain
ted with Mr.. Cavanaugh. Becker and
Phelps are much more talented men
than either of our Senators.
| We have come to the conclusion
here that in few years native Amer
leans will stand but slim chance fo
I any Office, as the Irish arc not only dc
r manding but obtaining large shar
of the best Offices of the State.
In Congress political affairs seem t
pc getting pretty well mixed up.

While in our Northern latitude, we

While in our Northern latitude, we
have as yet scarcely experienced any
real winter weather, in some parts of
the South they have cold weather and
snow. In Eastern Texas it has been
quite cold, and the snow has fallen
in torrents" In Virginia also, there
has been considerable snow lately.
We also learn that snow has fallen in
New York, while in Boston and cities
farther East there has been excellent
sleighing.

Chicago. Iowa and Nebraska Railroad.

There is no subject now before the
citizens of this and the adjoining coun-
ties, which is 50 closely allied to their
real interest and prosperity, as the
speedy completion Of the Chicago,
Iowa and Nebraska Railroad.
All will be glad to hear, then, that
the work goes right on. The financial
pressure, which has caused some OF
the most promising roads in the coun-
try to suspend all operations for the
present, has not stopped the work on
this road for a single day. The pro-
grcss of the enterprise, from its be-
ginning to the present date, has been
steady and uninterrupted. This fact,
we think, reflects great credit, as well
upon the feasibility and necessity OF
the road, as upon the untring indus
try and good management OF the Dl-
rcctors and other officers of the Com
pany.
At the present date, about thirty
five miles Of track have been laid and
regular trains are running daily. The
process Of track laying goes on. we
! learn that another lot of rails was re-
Gently received at Clinton, and is now
being forwarded over the road, and

between Cedar Rapids and Dewitt.
This division we are assured, VIII,
with favorable weather, be ready for
the ties in sixty days. Arrangements
have been made for the continuing the
work Of grading, until it is completed.
OF the grading which remains to be
