Exchange Bank of Glencoe.

We learn from the Pioneer that the Ex-
change Bank of Glencoe" is not received by
the Bankers of st. Paul If the currency is
really good it will be received by the people,
and the Bankers will soon be obliged to receive
it or find their depositors growing beautifully
less. If the currency is not good then the
people as we'll as the bankers, should refuse
it from the start 1t is said by parties who
pretend to know, that no Banking Office has
yet been opened at Glencoe, and that the per-
sons who figure as President and Cashier on
the currency, are two bank clerks, who have
recently arrived in town from Milwaukee,
neither Of whom have ever visited Glencoe or
have any intention of doing so. If these
things are so, it seems to US there must be
some neglect at the Bank Department, as the
law certainly never intended that currency
should be issued without an established place
for redemption.
The recent decision by the courts, has de-
preciated, in the opinion of every one, the
RAJ Road Bonds, from 80 to 40 per cent
These Bonds are therefore, no longer good Sc
curity for currency at par, and currency is
sued upon them by strangers is sure to work
out mischief to the bill holder. The whole
responsibility rests with the Governor and
Auditor. According to a section of the Gen
eral Banking Law they may at any time de-
cline securities that are not IN their opiaiOn,
ample We hope the Auditor. who has this
matter specially in charge, will at once inform
the public what he understands by the "cur-
rent rate" of the Minnesota Bonds issued to
the Rail Roads and if currency is to be issued
at par on them as fast as received. The
whole State is greatly interested to know. as
upon his decision rests the whole question,
whether we are to have a good currency, or
only the worst kind of wild cat.
Saint Paul weekly Minnesotian., 1858-11-20

The opinion of the Supreme Court relative
to the First Mortgage Bonds to be transferred
to the State by the Railroad Companies, in ex-
change for the State Bonds, not being exclu-
slve bonds with prior lien to the State, was
heard yesterday afternoon in the Clerks Office
OF the Court. AS soon as possible we shall
make copy from the record, and lay the
opinion at length before our readers. On the
subject of this decision the last Saltwater Mes
eenger makes these pertinent remarks:
We are not surprised at this decision of the
COurt-we believe it to be in accordance with
the spirit and design of the law. When the
Loan Bill was under discussion. we in com.
mon with all the opponents of the measure
based our strongest opposition to the scheme
upon the ground that the five million first
mortgage bonds of the companies, in lieu of
five millions of State bonds given to the COM
panies, offered no protection whatever to the
State, for the reason that the companies could
issue fifty millions or one hundred millions OF
first mortgage bonds if they chose to do So
and all of them standing on the same equality
The measure is seventuating just as we predict
ed it would, and we cannot award Gov Sibley
any credit for taking position he knew the
Supreme Court would reverse.
The refusal of the Governor to issue the
bonds of the State to the M. and P. Company
has been the reason assigned for not prosecut
ing the work on the line of road between this
place and st. Paul. Now that the question
has been disposed of to the full satisfaction o
the company, we see no reason why they can
not now commence the road U simultaneously
at st. Paul, st. Anthony and Saltwater"

Frazer River Mines.

A correspondent of the Alta- Californian,
of October 7th, writing from Victoria, British
Columbia, says:
The last two trips of the Wilson G. Hunt
has brought comparatively small amounts of
gold, but the number of disgusted adventur-
ers increases. During my absence endeav-
ed to get at the truth by listening attentively
to the variations of several men, some of
whom had been far up the river; but the re-
suit was in all instances the same-hard work
until their means and provisions were exhaust
ed, and hasty retreat from region where
their utmost eXertions had been met with but
destitution for a reward This is setting out
with dark pOrtraiture of affairs, certainly
Gladly would herald the instances of success
had | met them but the lucky ones are eth
er sticking to their business and do not intend
to leave the mines, or they have all returned
to California. l heard of several men who
were taking it out by the pound " at well
known bars between Fort Hope and Yale, and
up to the Big Canon; and without doubt the
same good fortune attends miners there as has
been already recorded, but believe none have
disputed the fact that these isolated placers
should not be taken as a criterion of the whole
mining region.
Unless extensive and rich mines could be
struck far up the river, the majority Of those
who have arrived in this country must return
disappointed; and even the bed of the river,
should it prove to be rich as far up as its sour
ces, as that space must in this or the next sea-
son be well cleaned out. Consequently, thou-
sands in all parts of the country nave been
confidently awaiting for the fall Oh tne waters
which should lay bare good paying diggings in
the bed of the river.

The Pioneer md the Democracy DO'
Like tho MinnesOtian!

The Pioneer is extremely anxious to SUD-
st;tute for the Nianesotian and Its euitor'
some other paper and some other editor as a
leading organ of the Republican party.
The Democracy and its organ have before
expressed that wish.
The Mnnssotian suits them less and less
every dav and IF that cussed MinnesOtian
was only out of the way" and that I'D
DIR. FOSTER was only thrown overheard
what merry times they would all have.
Democratic officials, guilty of forgery, or
peculation, or using their offices for personal
ends and not for public benefit, would then
have glorious and refreshing season. Spec
ulators upon the people-swindllng Rairoao
enterprises-bribery of legislatures-and all
the tricks Of moccasin politics-would have
free scope There would then be " dignity y
in politics, like there was "order in Warsaw
after liberty was crushed out by Russian
despotism. There would be the "dignity y
of allowing the people to be fleeced and scamps
to riot in rascalty, and nobody to call CRIME
by its right name, nor hold the criminals up
to public execration.
We rather think, however, that notwith-
standing all the efforts Of the Pioneer and Its
co-laborers, the Minnesotian will continue to
exist-will go on, as it has done the past
wear. prospecting and to prosper. The present
Senior of the Ninnesotian is content to leave
the yindication of his course in the past to the
verdict of the public, as shown in the fact
that its DAILY CIRCULATION has doubled an the
one uear it has been under his charge; and
that its advertising and jobbing patronage has
alike increased. We do not propose to change
our course, but shall keep fearlessly onward
in the path we have marked OUT well know
ing. that at the end of our editorial career,
however long it may endure, we shall be COM
nelled 10 make no such humillating acknowl-
edcment, that we had so conducted ourself
that we not only lost the respect Of our own
party and of every body else, but even our
oun self respect! On looking back, over the
record of our years services, we find no spot
upon which we once planted our feet, that
would recede from: nor anything that we
nave uttered, that we would take back.

Tho Election on Lake Superior

The following extract of letter, dated at
Superior. Nov. lst, shows that there has been
no election on the Lake Shore representative
district, according to the official canvass. The
letter says;
1.-The Manesotian has been entirely too
fast in conceding the election to the House, OF
a Democrat of any sort from the Lake Sup e
rior district; nor have the figures of the cleo
ton been correctly published in any of the
st. Paul journals The legitimate vote would
foot up: WALSH rs; ELY 73; CULVER 32-ex-
cluding from the count the impudent and in
famous fraud at Grand Portage, of which |
will advise you at another time.
Yesterday, however, in accordance wit.
the statute the cticia canrass was made, and
resulted in tie being declared between CUL-
YER and WALSH, and consequently no elec-
tiOa. Thus, unless new election is called,
is somewhat better, than being mis-represent-
ed. The conclusion was understood by me,
and happened in this wise. 1t seems that
returns from the three smallest precincts were
made to the clerk of the Board of Supervisors
that those were the only returns canvassed
and that they footed up as stated above
a tie between WALSH and CULvER-ELY tuO
behind. From the other precincts the returns
were made to R. H. BARRET, either individu-
ally or as Register of Deeds, and were not be-
fore the canvassers at ALL"
In addition to the above, we have the
Superior Chronicle, from which we learn that
the districts canvassed were Twin Lakes,
Fond du Lac and Duluth. The returns which
did not come to hand were those of Oneota
Burlington, Buchanan and Grand Portage.

Review OF Steamboat Statistics for
1858.


The practical closing of navigation, in con-
sequence of the masses of floating ice filling
up the main channel of the Mississippi, is sug.
gestive of a comparison of the statistics Of the
season and trade for the year 1868, with the
few proceeding years since the existence Of
settlements on the Mississippi.
The season just closed is one Of unusual
length, having been opened on the 25th Of
March-several days earlier than we have any
previous account-and closed ON the 10th Of
November, a period Of 236 days-six days
longer than any season during the last ten
years. Although there is quite diminution
in the number Of steamers engaged in the trade
this year, in consequence Of the withdrawal Of
transient boats, yet the whole number of arri-
walls shows gratifying increase over those OF
last year, and in the amount of tonnage like
Increase. The number of boats engaged in
the trade this year is 60, and the number Of
arrivals are 1890, exhibiting decrease of 81
boats engaged in the trade, and an increase OF
l25 in the number of arrivals.
The Brazil was the first boat at the foot OF
the lake this year, having arrived on the 29d
of March; the Grey Eagle arrived the next day
and went through to the lake, reaching St.
Paul early on the morning of the 25th. The
river was open to the foot Of the lake as early
as the 18th of March.
We are indebted in the main to the Wharf
Master for the number of arrivals made by
the different boats this season, which we pre-
sent in the subioined table, viz:

A MONSTER. lillian Lowell, ESQ.,, of Still
water, has presented the Messenger with a
white English turnip which it challenges the
world to beat. 1t weighs twenty -four pounds
and is three feet and tomr inches in circumfer-
ence! This is certainly most remarka5 Die
vegetable production even for this land of big
vegetables. 1t was grown on the farm of Mr.
Lowell, on the St. Croix, fifty miles north Of
Saltwater. The seed was sown in July, and
shows the capacity of our soil and climate
The entire yield of the field from which this
specimen was taken, was of like enormous
proportions.
ACC1DENr.-While the Pembina was land
ing her freight last Tuesday evening, at Still
water, one of her deck hands had leg bro
ken and other serious injuries inflicted by a
heavy article of freight falling off the stage
npon him. He was placed upon the boat and
carried away with her.

drowning of two men in Lake Freeborn, who
with two others attempted to cross the lake

Terrible Anair...The President Stops
Ills Paper---The Editors Agony.

In a speech at Camden, New Jersey, a few
days since, Col. Forney said:
Now, gentlemen, have most melancholy
announcement to make in this connection. -
1t is that the newspaper, Tile Press, is stop
ped-my Press is stopped (Sensation. y
did not expect in coming here, to be COM
PEELED to make this sorrowful announcement :;
but it is nevertheless the fact The Press
is stOpped-nOt the establishment, but the
single copy achich the President Of the United
States takes =; tits stopped. Oong continued
shouts of laughter.) l suspect shall survive
it. (Renewed laughter.) l have no doubt l
shall survive it. But it was terrible blow
do not think ever two cents created so much
havoc before. But we shall recover; we shall
get over it. And now for the right part of the
story; shall receive, in few days, almost
the only dollar that have ever received from
the Federal ministration-which will be
about 81 so in payment for THE Press
Oaughter.)
So we see that this prescription runs from
great to small. 1t attacks popular tribune,
and it strikes down a newspaper. 1t turns
on postmaster, and refuses to pay two cents
to an Independent journal
"To such base uses must we come at last"
Thus we see the Administration of the Fed
eral Government, presiding over thirty mil
lions of people, with all its vast patronage,
with all its great power, forgetting all its
pledges, and becoming party to the petty
prescriptions which village politicians would
despise and which honorable men would
laugh at (Applause.)
