ElacrtOu Returns

We have as vet received but very few re-
turns of the recent election III TINS o'a'e. 1he
result is not known certainly IN any OF the
adjoining counties, except Hennepm
So far as heard from the Republicans have
made , few gains. and have met with no loss
pc which favors the probability Of Republi-
can Legislature.
In Ramsay county the Democrats elected
six ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS as last year.
In Hennepin county the Republicans elect
five Representatives and one Senator; the
Democrats one Representative-same as last
year.
In Washington county the result is as yet
little uncertain, though we believe the whole
Republican ticket-that is two Senators and
three Representatives, are elected-if so, the
result is the same rs last year.
Dakota county, it is believed, elects one Re
publican and one Democratic Senator; one
Republican and four Democratic Representa-
tives.
In Scott county the chances are believed to
be about even between CHArFIELD and MUIR
PLY, Democrats, and BALDWIN, Republican,
for Senator. The Republicans will have two
members of the House, certain-a Republi-
can gain.
Winona County..elects two Republican Sem
ators and four Representatives-same as last
year.
The Sibey and Mcleod District elects the
Independent Democratic ticket in opposition
10 the regular nominees-this is no change.
In the Upper Minnesota River districts, we
learn from passengers on the Frank Steele
that the Republicans had elected the three
Representatives in the Blue Earth and Le-
Sueur district, though they could give us no
returns on which the conclusion was based.
If this is so, however, it is Republican gain
The same authority also state that CGwAN is
beaten for Senator in Nicolet and Brown
This we can hardly credit, as there are too
many moccasin precincts in that district.
We have not yet heard syllable from An
Okla, Goodhue, Wabashaw or Rice. We shall
probably be able to give the result from
the whole State some time after we have pub
ished the entire result of the Ohio and Penn
sylvania elections, which occurred on the same

Ramsey County.

We have but little to add to our published
returns of yesterday. The Reserve township
gave an average majority of % for the Demo
cratic ticket, and Mound View Township
about the same majority against some portions
of it. A mistake in our footings yesterday
morning made it appear that Col NOBLE S
vote was 100 less than he actually received.
GoRMAN, the Capital remover and street ag-
riculturist, leads the gallant Colonel scarcely
40 votes
CoTrER, the Democratic candidate for Au-
dtor is certainly defeated. His association
with HEESAN & Co., bore hin to the ground.

matters going to the substance of the offences
charged. On Saturday these were argued
by SMITH and GILMAN for the DEPENDENT; and
by District Attorney HEARD and M. E. AMEs

Mr.. HEENAN was prominent member OF
the late Democratic Convention; and a prin-

The Fight I'm Illinois.

The Dubuque Times of the 9Th, thus gives
its opinion of the contest in Illinois. Being
near the scene of the BATTLE yet not in it, it has
the best kind of an opportunity for forming a
correct opinion on the subject:
We have the best authority for stating that,
beyond any contingency, the Republicans will
have majority on joint ballot in the next Leg
lslature of Illinois. The reelection of Senator
Douglas is an impossibility. Either Lincoln will
be chosen in his stead, or there will be no cleo
ton held. Douglas may have small major
lty IN the Senate, and his friends there may
refuse to come into joint convention, but if any
body IS elected, Lincoln will be the man.

THE JEWS AND JEsUs.-A communication
copied into the Jewish paper, the Zsraelite, of
Sept. 10th, published at Cincinnati, says: The
Jews do not bitterly denounce Jesus Christ
as an imposter and deceiver They hold near
ly the same views in relation to him as do
many respectable Christian sects The Jews,
Universalists and Unitarians differ but little
in their opinions of the mission and teachings
of Jesus Christ

"A Break Discovered in the Atlanti,
Cable.
7. T. MANN.

The workmen employed in cutting up the
cable in the machine shop at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard, found break short time since
in the communication copper wire about three
eighths of an inch long, through which the
saw passed in the solid gutta percha, showing
that the disconnection must have occurred
during the process of manufacture, and there
fore leading to the very great probability that
other similar LESSONS may have occurred in
other parts of the cable. What have the
electricians to say in regard to this fact which
is reliably Enthusiastically y Times 26th.
The electricians would probably have to
say that inasmuch as they have had electric
currents and communications since the cable
was laid, that it is not at all probable there
are any other LESSONS in the cable which oc
CURED during the process of manufacture:
and further, that inasmuch as currents still
continue to be received, it is equally improba-
BILE that any have since occurred.

War Between the Suffolk and Other
N. T.. Banks.

The Suffolk Bank, Of Boston, keeps up its
crusade against such banks as have transfer
red their accounts to the Bank of Mutual Re-
demption. On Wednesday, messenger from
the Suffolk Bank visited the Newmarket Bank,
in Newmarket, N. H., with $4,000 in bills of
that institution, and demanded the specie.
The coin was promptly paid, but no sooner
was it in the possession of their messenger,
than $4,000 of the amount was attached by
the Sheriff of Rockingham county, to satisfy a
suit of the Newmarket Bank against the Suf-
folk Bank for illegal and improper annoyance
At a late meeting at Springfield, Mass, at
which twenty New England Banks were re-
presented, it was resolved, after full discus
sion, that the banks inclined to support the
Bank Of Mutual Redemption should sign a
certificate, (Which thirteen banks at once
signed), that they would withdraw wholly
from the Suffolk Bank before the 10th of Oc-

CARVER, October 18th, 1858.
The Republicans of this District have been
suddenly thrown into confusion by the treach-
cry of L. l.. BAXTER, their candidate for State
Senator. DIR. KENNEDY had declied the NOM
nation for Representative, and an arrange
ment was made to run BAXTER for the Senate,
and Dr. j. ID. WHEELoCK, j. A. HUBBARD
and FREDERICK RING for the House. Wright
County had entered in the arrangement, and
BAXTER would have been elected by large
majority, as many of the Democrats OF this
county would have given him their support.
SAM ADAMS becoming alarmed at the turn
things were taking posted off for this town
and had long talk with BAXTER. What IN
huences were brought to bear, we leave 9TH
ers to decide. SAM ADAMS left soon after
with letter from BAXTER to the Wright
County Republican Committee, declining the
nomination and going over soul and princi-
pie (if he had anv) To tn" R"ol- Democracy
When the bargain and sale was discovered it
was too late to send to Wright County to con-
fer with the Republicans there, and to place
another name on the ticket in that county
Uncertain of the course that will be taken
there, the Republicans here have concluded to
run Dr. WHEELocK for both Senator and
Representative, knowing that he will be run
there for one office or the other. have been
thus particular that the Republcanso of Wright
County may know that the Republicans Of
Carver County have been true to them.
TUESDAY, October II, A. NJ.
1t is very uncertain what the result will be
here. The Democrats are very much divided
and many will not vote for ADAMS now who
would before BAXTER declined. They do not
like the bargain and sale, and we shall reduce
the usual Democratic majority at least fifty.
Last year it stood, Democrats 146, Republi-
cans 1O6-Democratic majority six. think
that it will not be over 60 to-day.

The /" Fugitive Slave Mob In Canada

The New York Tribune thus punctures the
story of :" a most atrocious and violent out
rage" whereby it is stated that a Mr.. w. r.
Merwin of st. Lewis was forcibly dispossess-
ed of a mulatto servant boy, while in the cars
in Canada:
1. Mr.. W. R. Merwin is not a Southern
gentleman, but northern travelling agent for
house in this city.
2. He is not the legal owner of any slave.
3. If he pretended to own this mulatto boy
he must have been cheating somehow, for he
has assured his employers here that he did
not own him.
4. The boy was almost certainly free born :;
oIt, at all events, he was made free by being
.ahen through the free States and into Cana
ia, even II he had been a slave before.
On the whole we strongly suspect that Mr.
w: H. Merwm will pocket the " outrage" and
will not hereafter claim the bow.

What is DenOcracy.

The Nashville (Tenn.) Union, one of the
brightest luminaries of the so called Demo
cratic party, and one of its principal expoun-
ders and leading organs, gives the following
(and no doubt true) definition, saying in an
swer to the above interrogatory:
Democracy is progression. What was De-
mocracy in Jefferson's time, is not Democracy
at the present day. What was Democracy in
Gen. Jackson's day, is not Democracy now.
And, indeed, what was Democracy ten years
ago, is not Democracy to-day. Democracy is
progressive.

WASHINGTON, DC, Oct 9Th, 1853.
DEAR SIRs: The other day when gave
you a little sketch from memory, as l retain
ed 1t from the memoranda had by H. M. RICE,
OF the numerous places held by the MEDARY
family, l looked upon it so indifferently that
not until after it had gone did it occur to me
that might as well give you correct trans
cript, which here follows:

There are many comments which might be
made upon these experimentation they
were obtained-what the promises and pledg-
es, but the "play would not pay for the can
de-" The following is a single specimen ::
Mr.. RICE got the contract for printing the
Post Office blanks, he sold his contract as I
am credibly informed, to WENDELL, to print
for him at 60 cents on the dollar; but he was
forced in order to keep things quiet, to allow
SMITH & NEvIN, Ohio State printers, an annu-
al sum of $4,000 out of his profits. So SMITH
d NEvIN are called Printers of Blanks, and
derive profit of $4,000 for this service, yet
will perhaps never see blank during the
continuance of the contract This is speci-
men of the way things are done at present.
To get the peoples money from the treasu-
ry under color of law to pay political dema-
gogues, contracts are given at such rates as
will allow of their enormous doses of sop dip
ped out of them.
have no doubt but our extinguished Gov.
ernor is now must gloriously salubrious. He
has devoted his entire family to the service Of
the State. Every member capable of bearing
arms is on duty, and those who for want Of
years but nominally fill their places, and
draw their salaries, are well sustained by Re-
gents. 1t is such family sacrifice that ever
ungrateful Republics will not be disposed te
overlook, but in short time will reward with
| the peace and quiet of retirement.
have also been corrected in the $4,000 al
luded to, the sum is $1,000, but l can't learr
what composition was made in reference to it
This was the key to the last appointment

What the heart Of ono egg said to another.
Tell me not in mournfnl numbers,
Life is but an empty .dreasnl
Chickens in their oval Slumbers
Are by no means what they seem.
Life is reall Life is earnest!
And this shell is not its pen:
Egg thou art, in egg remainest,
Was not spoken Of the hen.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to scratch, that each tomorrow
Finds us fatter than to-day.
Art is long, and time is fleeting,
Be our bills then sharpened well
Nor like muffied drums be beating
On the inside of the she'll
In the worlds broad field of battle,
In the great barnyard of life,
Be not like the lazy cattle,
Be rooster in the strifel
Trust no hawk, however, pleasant,
And yet never be it said,
When the birds of prey were present,
You were skulking in the shed.
Lives of old cocks all remind us,
We can make our lives sublime;
And when roasted, leave behind us,
Bird tracks in the sands of time.
Bird tracks that perhaps another
Chicken dropping in the rain,
A forlorn and hen. pecked brother,
When he sees will crow again
Let us, then be after matching,
With heart for every fate,
Ever growing, ever scratching,
Learn'to cackle and to pirate.
