ST. PAUL MAYORALTY /.

Norman w Kitson and Judge Shel-
bnrne are the opposing candidates for
the. MayoraIty Of St. Paul. The FIRST
Is the nominee oftthe Democratic con-
vention-the latter the nominee Of the
citizens convention. They ara both
amongst the best and most reliable
citizens Of st. Paul, but We regret
that these men. both strong, should
l1's be found found antagonis,ical to sach other,
and more. that there should be any split
in the Democratic party. The Repub-
licans are shrewd erough to seeIthat
they have al g gain ~ sush sDfyis issssyss,
and the Democratic party oil 70 lose.
Since the above was in type we have
received news Of The election Of Mr..

N. n. RAIL ROAD !

Two gentlemen, Messrs. Frost and
Woodbury., have been in the town and
vicinity this week. hunting up the own
ers s's',' Of property, for the purpose Of pros
curing the. right Of way for the N. r.
Rail Road. As this is after election,
the company will not be accused Of 20
ing into this expenditure and trouble for
effect, and it is regarded as pretty
good indication that the Roads win not
only be cou'menced, but that sttey will
be completed.

SAUK RAPIDS AND SUPERIOR
ROAD.

When the Mississippi is sconncctsd BY
Kali Road. with the Head Of Like SUI
sPorsor, We shan see IN Important trads
between the two countries. Trade and
commercc can Be carried on with Eng
land. the Continent. and with the east
Tera cities ofSthe States, with the same
facility that they can from Chicago.
But to bring this about, there must be a
kne of communication, such as a Rail
Road affords. between the Head DC SUI
perior and some point on the Mississippi
River; it may make but little difference
where the point Of fconnec.ion is, wheth-
7 er I be Grow Wing. Little Falls or
Saak Rapids, It would all be the same
so far as its importance to the country
IL concerned but such connection is
OF the greatest Importance ID the Upper
Mississippi country, and Of vital impor-
. tance to the Lake Superior region, as
it will be impossible for the latter coun-

try, without it, to secure trade, or as
sumo that commercial position to which
seems entitled by being at the head
, ofthe great line Of water communication
ofthe Great Lakes. With good wag-
on road from this to Lake Superior the
expense Of procuring goods from the
j. eastern market would be very much les
sened to the whole Upper Mississippi
country, ifnot to all portions Of Mime
sofa, and the vast and fertile region ira
versed BY the Pacific Rail Road Expe-
dition, under Cav, Stevens, would be set
tied by emigration over this route
-gt From this point to Lake Superior,
with good wagon road but two days
more would be required for trip with
loaded team, than i! low takes team
to go from here to St. Paul, with a
load. When we reflect that it costs no
more to land goods, at Superior City
from the eastern market than it does to
land them at Chicago, it can be easily
seen that the difference in cost, between
the two routes must be great Under
standing the Importance Of a road con-
meeting US directly with Superior, we;
trust the one which is, BY act Of our
Legislature to be laid out from this to
tha. point, will be surveyed at once, and
opened as soon as possible.

her bow entered the foam, so much that
water washed over the side, and for
few moments it appeared that.she must
be swamped. She righted. however,

EXECUTION or ALBERT STAUB.

EXECUTION OF ALBERT sTAUB.
The sxecutisp of If young man for
ths mosder of \ Lsnsrrnan, took place 40
Chicngo on ths 2Oth. "A accordance..with
the seniencs-of the NV The gallows'
was erected within the limits Of the city
on Reuben street, Eve or six blocks
south Of its intersections With Madison
street, and withoaf any enrl rlaSafsl leFiob-
structicn to the public view.
Several thousand persons astsnYled
about the jail in the morning ]. and when
the prisoner was brought out soon after
ten o'clock and placed in = carriage sthe
crowd followed the 5processios through
the mud 70 the place Of execution. ~
The Tribune estimates that between
six and eight thousand persons, three
hundred Of them females, were present.
Religious services were had on thessaf-
fold, the. prisoner addressed q few affect
ing words ir German to the crowd,
warning them TO beware of bad. com
rsny and liquor, when the cap was
drawn over his face, and az ti,iry-five
minutes past n o'clock the soul Of Al
bert Staub was rendered up to its cea-
tors-J1innesohan.. 5s ss..s X
The Tribune adds The scene unor
the scaffoh was most affecting one,.
and during the progress Of thc execu-
ton, there was scarcely dry eye.
amorg those aPon and near the plat
form, and it required;a strong. effort on
the part Of the officers to retain .suf-
ficient composure to PERFORM their un-
pleasant duties. During: most Of tie
time drizzling rain fell, but the gaping,
eager crowd Of between sixand eight
thousand persons, among. whom. were
some three hundred females, were too
intent upon viewing the scene being en-
acted before, them TO care foE-the rain.
Whatever may be thought Of the. neces-
sity Of capital punishment, no one, who
Witnessed the execution Of Albert Staub
yesterday, could have failed TO feel that
such exhibitions are brutalizing, and
have tendency to create more crimes
than they prevent. If hanging is to
be the punishment for murder, by all
means letus initiate the action Of older
