blue Earth Redeem ed.

The Mankato Independent says: The Re
publicans have achieved signal triumph
they have stormed one of the strongholds of
Breech-clout Democracy, and Blue Earth now
takes her rank among the reliable Republican
counties of Minnesota!
The election was hotly contested by all the
appliances of political warfare, throughout the
county, Notwithstanding which, however, the
vote was by no means full one, owing in
great degree, to the dsagreeable state of the
weather and the bad condition of the roads.
A full vote, however, would, undoubtedly,
have increased the Republican majority.
From fifty to one hundred Republicans were
not at the polls-the former number to our
own certain information. But, no thanks to
them, the Breech-clout is lowered to half mast,
while the Republican colors float proudly
aloft!
We have, up to the present writing, received
no news from LIE Sueur county, and the re-
suit in the Representative district is yet in
doubt We have strong hopes, however, for
the success of the entire Republican Repre-
sentative ticket. Local questions which now
distract LIE Sueur, reder previous election re-
turns unreliable data upon which to found
even guess as to the result But be it as
it may in the district, Blue Earth has covered
herself with glory in the contest, and we have
sufficient cause for general rejoicing and con-
graduation. Three cheers for Republican Blue
Earth. There goes our hat
P.S. AS we go to press, the ST. Paul stage
brings word that LIE Sueur has gone Rcpubli-
can. This, if correct, nsures the election Of
our own Representative ticket.
A rumor is also current that Nicollet and
Brown counties have given Republican major
tiles, electing neighbor Dodge to the Senate,
over Cowan. Hope it is correct.

No Admfttance for Young Ladies',

1t has been contended that the Act of In
corporation of the Michigan State University
at Ann Arbor, includes women among the
"persons" entitled to an education there,
which view was conceded with by the State
Superintendent of Public INSTITUTION in his
annual report.
Accordingly number of young ladies APP
piled for admission as students; but the an
thorities of the University had their doubts
as to the propriety of receiving them, and ap-
pointed a committee to take the subject into
consideration. The committee, however, were
also perplexed with the question, and sought
counsel from men colder in practice, ADLER
than themselves to make conditions" among
whom were Presidents of several Colleges.
The result of their deliberations was that
admitting women to the College, as students,
on the same footing with men, "would be dan
gerous in social and moral point of view."
1t does not seem to have given unanimous
satisfaction from it, although the New
York Times says the good sense of the COM
munity will undoubtedly ratify this decision.
1t by no means follows from the fact that the
two sexes in family and primary schools are
mutually benefited by each others presence,
that such would be the case with young men
and women associated together in the familiar
relations of College life.

Success of the New Overland Mail Ar
ranSement.

Following close in the wake of the Atlantic
Telegraph achievement comes another of a
similar character-not quite so glorious per-
haps, but promising to be quite as useful,
Judging from the present appearance of both.
We refer to the arrival in st. Louis of the first
overland mail from San Francisco, under the
new contract made with the Government by
Mr. JOHN BUTTPRdIELD and others. The con-
ract specifies that the service shall be per
formed in twenty-five days, and the arrival of
the first mail one day and twenty hours ahead
of time, gives the most satisfactory evidence
of the ability on the part of the contractors to
carry out their undertaking.
This mail is to be carried between st. Louis
and San Francisco, leaving each place twice a
week, in four-horse post coaches or spring
wagons suitable for the conveyance of pas
sengers as well as for the safety of the mails,
for 100000 year, the contract to end Sept.
18th, 1864 If the mail westward was trans
ported to San Francisco with the rapidity of
that which has just arrived at st. Louis from
that far distant port, it is plain that the mail
service can be performed as expeditiously that
way as by steam navigation via Panama
Twenty days from San Francisco, over
land, will do for the present.

Columbus and Centerville, in Anoka Coun-
ty, and Clear Lake and Battle Brook in Sher-
burne County to hear from, but they cannot
change the result.
This, says the st. Anthony Ne.cs, is Re-
publican gain of one on last year, and is in
deed victory worth having. We once at
tended school with the successful candidate,
at Wilbraham, Mass, and we know what we
are talking about when we say that Anoka
could not have made better selection from
her citizens. Besides being sterling Repub-
lican and an anti-Slavery man of the truest
sort, he has the advantage of good educa-
ton, and is fluent speaker and an able dcba-
ter who will honor the District which has CIV
en- him such complimentary majority, and
strike some good, strong blows for Truth and
the Rights of Man.
But Manomin-poOr ManOmin what has
become of the hundred fraudulent votes which
were cast CD by the Winnebago Democracy
last year, and which cheated JARED Benson
out of his rights as Senator, and gave to the

THE STATE ELECTIONS.
Minnesota State Election.

There is scarcely doubt that the Demo
Gratis will have majority in the next State
Senate, and there is just as little doubt that
the Republicans have the House Of Represen-
tatives by decided majority. We will hard
ly have less than A, and may have more, OF
the 80 members of which the House consists.
The probabilities are fair also for Republican
majority on joint ballot
LATEsT-In the Sibley and Mcleod dis
trict, the result is different from the first re-
port. Elijah Perry, regular Democrat; >. W.
Lynde, Democrat, who were on both regular
Democratic and independent tickets; and
Martin j. Severance, Republican, is elected.
Severance is an able lawyer and speaker, and
staunch Republican. He is the same gen.
tleman who received so large a vote for nomi-
nation as Lieutenant Governor in the last
Republican State Convention.
Tom CowAN is undoubtedly chosen State
Senator in the Nicollet and Brown district
the Indian agencies polling enough Breect
Clouts to elect him. Two Democrats are
elected certain to the House, and possibly
three, but the run is close between NUGENT
DEM, and PFANDER, Repub.
The Blue Earth and LIE Seuer district chooses
two Republicans and one Democrat to the
House.

The Election at Lake Superior.

We have letters from Oneota, mailed on
the 14th, which give us partial returns OF the
election held on the North Shore for Repre-
sentative to the Minnesota Legislature. One
letter says:
"Mr. ED. F. ELY, Republican, received AZ
votes out of 60 cast here (Oneota) for Repre-
sentative; j. B. CULVER, regular Rice Demo
crat, had 9; L. WALSH, land-office Democrat,
had 10. In Du Luth ELY received II
WALSH 13; and CULVER s."
A postscript on the back of the letter gives
later intelligence. Itsays "All is heard from
except east of Du Luth. ELY is 81 ahead
and is thought to be elected"
P. S. Since the above was written, we
have received the Superior, Wis, Chronicle
of the 10Th, which in postscript gives the
returns from Oneota and Du Luth, and re-
marks:
"From these returns we infer that Mr.. Ely
is elected, he being likely to poll as heavy a
vote down the shore as either of the othe,
candidates"
Good for Lake Superior! 1t is unneces
sary to tell the people of st. Paul, that Mr.
ELY is thoroughly honest man, who may be
relied upon to resist the tendency to corruption
and bribery in our legislative halls

The Chief Boot Black of the South De-
feated!

Amongst the pleasing results of the recent
election in Pennsylvania, the most gratifying
one of all for Republicans, is the defeat Of
JEHU CLANCY JONES for Congress in the
Burks county district-the strongest Demo-
cratic district in that perhaps the
strongest in the Union. Presenting on this
fact, and thinking that do what he would, he
could not be overcome in this district, JONES
has been the most ultra, supple, cringing tool
of the South of all the Buchanan DoughEaces
from the North. He even Out-southed the
South in his devotion to- the peculiar institu-
ton. And what made this course the more
odious was, that he put on airs as the Presi-
necessary for the fre-eaters of Carolina or
Georgia to enunciate a new demand upon the
North, to claim new concession to the dark,
encroaching spirit of slavery, for this man
Jones to instantly accede to it, however gross
or monstrous it might be. But it seems he
counted too much upon the devotion of his
constituents much upon their ignorance
and supposed stupidity. Though in Berks
county the Democratic State ticket received
1900 majoaity, JONES is defeated by JOHN
SwARTz, the independent candidate of the
Republicans and Free Democrats, by ma
jority of 10 votes showing that over 1000
Democrats were intelligent and independent
enough to vote with the Republicans in a body
against the Chief Boot Black of the South

All Right in WinOna.

The Winona Republican of the Goth, thus
glorifes over the success of the entire Repub-
lican ticket in that county:
THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR REGIS
TER ELECTED-THE TRAITORS HUMILIArED.-
1t gives us great qualification to announce that
WILLIAM FRY, the Republican candidate for
Register of Deeds for Winona county, is
elected by sufficient majority. notwithstand-
ing the desperate efforts of small gang of
traitors to defeat him, and elect the Demo-
cratic candidate to office. For several days,
so close was the vote, it was believed by many
that Fry was defeated, and great was the re-
joicing of the few pretended Republicans
through whose base treachery defeat was
rendered probable. On Monday morning,
however, sufficient returns were received to
show that all their efforts were vain, and that
victory crowned the entire Republican ticket,
much to the satisfaction of every genuine
member of the party.
The Republican majority in Winona
county is over 300.
Saint Paul weekly Minnesotian. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1858-1859, 1858-10-23

such causes than even our distracted Demo-
cratic friends have sustained from their broad
cast and radical disorganization.
1t is in vain for the Pioneer and the Demo-
cratic leaders to seek consolation for their de-
feat in this State on the 10Th inst, by attrib-
uting it alone to party divisions. Those very
divisions are but occasioned by the popular
tendency towards Republican principles: to
which DOUGLAS position is a halfway con-
cession. The truth is, the people are getting
tired of trusting the professions Of the Demo-
cratic party as to its being in favor of justice
to the North, and of Free Labor when dur
ing the successive administrations of PIERCE
and BUCHANAN, they have seen Democracy
and Republicanism, honor, truth and justice,
set at naught and condemned in Democratic
prDctice. Time is surely proving that Mime
sofa is Republican State-it was one last
fall but for frauds and forgery-it is one now;
and the future promises to roll up such a huge
majority over bogus Democracy, that the
frauds must re large indeed that will over
power it

Indiana is reported to have chosen her Re-
publican State ticket by five thousand major
ity. The Legislature is also Republican, and
will of conrse choose Senators to take the
seats now usurped by BRIGHT and FITCH. The

ed by increased majorities. SCHUYLER COL

The Douglas Organs Growing With out
Reason.

The Pioneer and other Douglas organs are
loud in claiming that their branch ofthe Dem
ocratic party has not been defeated in the re-
cent Republican and Opposition triumphs in
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana but only the
National Administration. The Chicago Times
goes so far as to claim that in those States not
a Democrat has been elected "but those who
are Douglas men personally, and men pledg-
ed religiously to the same great principles,
which he is defending before the people of H.
linois"
This may do for fancy, but what are the facts?
Threat-and-Br ENGLISH of Indiana, is prob
ably reelected; Cox, VALLENDINGHAM, and
PENDLEToN, of Ohio, are returned, and also
FLORENCE of Pennsylvania either English
swindle men or original Lecomptonites. LIEF
FINGwELL, who was Douglas Democrat, reg
ularly nominated, is defeated in Iowa; and it
would rather seem, indeed, as if almost the
only Democrats saved from the general route,
are those who caved in to the Administration.

Iowa ElectfOn..AnOther Victory.

We learn from the Dubuque Times of the
evening of the 10th, that Iowa has probably
gone Republican, all over, by from three to
five thousand majority. In the first Or lower
Congressional District, CURTIS, Republican, is
pretty certainly elected. In the second, or
Dubuque District, there is scarcely doubt,
that VANDEvERE, Republican, has been success
full over LEFFINGwELL, Douglas, Democrat, by a
considerable majority. AS far as heard from
in fourteen counties, VANDEvERE has about
100 majority. There are twenty-eight coun-
ties yet to come in-eight of which, in 1857,
gave Democratic majorities to the amount of
344 votes; and twenty of which polled Re-
publican majorities to the sum total of 2167
votes. Election day was wet and disagreeable,
which told mainly against full poll of the
Republican vote; but the result is a noble
Republican victory, nevertheless. Three
cheers for Iowa.

County Redeemed!

Sufficient returns have been received, says
the Faribault Republican, to secure, beyond a
doubt, the election of the entire Republican
ticket! We shall cndeavOr to obtain and
publish next week, the official canvass of ev-
cry town in the county. The triumph is
complete, and Rice county sends greeting to
her sister counties of Minnesota. Wild Rice
Democracy, Indian trading sculduggery, Moe
casin frauds, Stationery plunderng, and Skin
ncrism generally, is repudiated.
There remains now nothing but the name
of the county to stain her escutcheon, and
that the people are bound to wipe out. We
arc confident we shall have a clear majority
of 200. The rule of bogus Democracy is
ended i'll this county. Full particulars next

Return of the Milwaukee Excursion.
The Milwaukee Sentinel, of the 10Th has
the following articles in reference to the return
of the Excursion Party:
RETURN OF THE ExCURsIoNIsTs.-A very
large proportion of the excursionists who left
this city for ST. Paul, by the La Crosse &
Milwaukee R, R.; on Thursday morniog last,
returned home yesterday afternoon; all delight
ed with the trip, and quite unanimous in pro-
nOuncing the excursion the most agreeable
and successful affair of the kind in which they
ever participated. The ride over the Railroad;
the sail up the Mississippi; the visit to st.
Paul, st. Anthany. Minneapolis Minne-ha-ha
and Fort Smelling were all Thoroughly enjoyed.
The weather was delightful, the accommoda-
tons excellent and the welcome everywhere
most cordial. Those who made the trip for
the first time were enthusiastic in its praises;
while those who have been over the ground
before, found all their favorable impressions
abundantly confirmed.
Our Milwaukee Light Guards formed the
prominent feature of the Excursion Party,
and contributed greatly to its success. At all
the points on the route where they stopped,
they were the observed of all the observers,
and ST. Paul they were most cordially receiv-
ed and sumptuOusly entertained. Throughout
the trip they conducted themselves as became
sOldiery and gentlemen, and have won new
laurels by their martial bearing excellent dis
cipline and general good conduct on the Excur-
sion. We shall have more to say of the trip
in our next.

sent by the New York State Central Commit

tract for timber with a Massachusetts, Demo
GRAFT. They allege that he had lot of sur
plus timber in his yards, and got the Navy
Department to advertise for exactly the sort
he had to sell, and that the bargain was closed
in the short space of ten days. They also say
that the timber was not wanted by the De.

who sold it was the highest, instead of the
lowest bidder, under the proposal.
