Poisoning

Some thoughtless or malicious person
has strcwn poisoned meat about town with
the idea Of killing wolves and foxes; and
a number Of thosesi despensible guardians
on frontier lifeggood dogs, have been
killed. s5
Mr.. STEARNs, has lost valuable ami
nal; and "our Bruno large black
Newfoundland, belonging to H. 2. MITCH
ELF, and brought from Pittsburg, the
faithful guardian of the house by night,
and playmate Of the children by day, has
fallen victim.
In endeavoring to administer camphor
to the animal when too late, Mr.. M1rcH-
ELL had three of his fingers bitten, one
severely; and we have all been very anx-
iolN lest some Of the poison might have
entered the wounds; but they have been
well lathed in spirits of camphor, and
small portions Of the gum taken into the
stomach, and as this drug is the antidote
to strycnine, we hope the danger is avert

fact, we have never. in any place, seen 4 ]
house where French luxury and sprightli-
ness were so combined with English solid
ity and comfort
The "Winslow House" mvst become .
fayorite resort for invalids and pleasure
seekers: The Allegheny Mountain air, to
which inyalids resort for health, is not
nearly so pure and n4vigorating as our,
Minnesota atmosphere, while the opportu-
ties for boating, riding, driving and hunt
ing and all manner of out door exercises
are indispensable. When inyalids can en-
Joy this, with the luxurious comfort and
quiet OF sucn hotel-if there are any
more suc.l--thousands must learn to avail
themselves of it.
While at the "Winslow" we did not
ear a loud word, a rattle Of an impudent
bell, or clatter Of any kind--no noise or
confusion any more than in the most or
DERBY private family. True, the house
was not full, but there were plenty Of
guests to have got upsa tremendous rush,
if,the whole machinery Of the establish.
meht had not been working on creased
hinnges-had not been properly arranged
and thoroug bly, managed. The thickness
Of the walls and softness Of the carpets do
much to insure quiet; but the gentle
manly supervision of the clerk, Capt OAR
ROW; and orderly movements Of the ser
wants make confusion impossible.
The halls are heated and the cooking
Eprincipallyy.:do by steam. Two superb
pianos furnish visiters. with an opportunii-
ty for home sounds; and the culinary de-
partment is in that perfection, that even
the bread, butter, cream, tea and coffee
are of the first quality.

For the Democrat
The late Railroad D session.
To THE EDITOR OF TIKI

10 THE EDITOR OF THE
ST. CLouD DEMOCRAT. The. recent decis-
ion Of the Supreme Court, refusing to the
State priority of lien over all other bond
holders Of the Minnesota and Pacific Railroad
Company, has elected various comments. BY
some, the State Treasury is de emed less secure;
while, on the other hand, the, right OF The Com
pany to raise money by the egotiation of first
mortgage bonds, is regarded as indispensable
to the payment Of the semi a. 1nual instalments
of interest. At this time, second mortgage
bonds would be entirely una valuable for that
or any other purpose: subs criptions to capital
stock can not now be obtained, and therefore
the sale of the first mortga bonds will doubt
less enable the Companies to exonerate the
Treasury. In this point Of view, the late de-
5cision adds to the security of the State.
The State has an ercl,ksi pe lien upon the ft1-
ture revenues Of the roaCls and an exclusive title
to SO, 600 acres of land. Some doubt has
been expressed whether these lands can be
sold Immediately, but thu. Land Grant clearly
gives the right to sell 100 sections or 800
acres for each line and branch in advance of
construction, and anot er and equal quantity
as often as twenty cont inuous miles are COM
pleted. The Minnesota and Pacific road hav-
ing main and branch line, might sell, and
has transferred to the State the right to sell,
the whole lO5, OOU acres IN two bodies, each
resting las the law requires on a continuous
length Of twenty niles Of the projected roads.
Having thus compli ed with the loan Amend
ment, the Company asked the State to make
common cause with other bondholders, who
may put their money into the road and not in
sist on 9 sspriority Of lien, z which would effec-
tually prevent any investment lat least for a
long, time beyond the amount Of the State
Credit. The Supreme Court has decided that
such is the true intent and meaning Of the
Constitution. rs#
slature intended, in proposing this Amendment.
Tho bill first required each Of the Companies
to convey to the State 12O sections or 76, 300
acres Of land. This quantity was doubled,
made $40 sections or 1853, 600 acres, upon a
clear and definite understanding in the Senate,
that the Companies were to be,allowed to raise
money by negotiating bonds Of the same class

Mr.. Douglas.

There is a general impression that Mr..
DOUGLAS will be returned to U, S. Sen
ate; but, from his position VIC look
upon it as quite impossible he should ac-
cept an election from the Legislature elect
of Illinois .@~
The issue before election was plainly
put for or against his return to Senate.
He accepted the principle Of submitting
the question Of "who shall be Senator?"
to the test Of a popular vote, and entered
into the canvass upon the ground of
popular sovereignty"- right Of the
majority to rule. A large ma ority Of
the people Of Illinois voted against him !;
and his self respect Will undoubtedly pre-
vent his going to Washington against
the will Of the people. To a man who
had not 50 placed himself upon the plat
form Of the right Of the majority, there
would be nothing especially derogatory in
taking advantage Of that unfair apportion.
ment Of the State which makes the Leg
islature the representative Of a minority
Of the people, but at the same time it
would be unfair, and contrary to the true
spirit Of a representative government.
How then would it do for the great Cham
FL .flsEg. q
pion Of popular Sovereignty" to stulti-
fy all his professions and principles, and
become the Representative of a minority !?
It would never do; and in order to re-
tain his hold upon the respect, admiration
and sympathy Of the popular heart, he
must, per force, decline an election by
this minority Legislature. I'd
He will doubtless wait and "try again :"

Then we think the writer's are mistaken
about winter wheat, having veto be tried.
| We had what we consider perfectly reli-
able information Of three fields of winter
wheat in this neighborhood last season,
which yielded bountifally. ~ ~ j.,
One gentleman who had examinedit as
sured us he had never seen so fine a field
Of wheat as one Of those was, and he had
come from the wheat districts of Illinois,
We have no kind of doubt about this
country being better for winter wheat than
any part Of Pennsylvania and they grow
very good wheat there. -
=. The process Of winter killing wheat has
always been described as thawing and
freesing,thaw and freezing. Here the
winter: is nothing but shining and freez-
ingg, shining and freezing. The thawing is
all left out; and 50 their can be no vomit-
ing out Of the roots as in the sudden freez
es, succeeding rains, which are SO common
in more Southern winters. " ".' ~ <.

When we published the last number Of our
paper we had no idea fthe terrible effect it
would produce. And reader what do you sup
pose the effect was. Simply this: On Tuesday
evening, after our paper had been carried around
town, "the King Of the 21st district" the man
the old abolitionists are running for Congress,
might have been seen ina public room in this
town, pacing the floor backwards and forwards,
doing sonae the b,taest rdntig anil racing, that
has been let oat in this burg for the last five
years. His audience consisted Of a man and
two little boys. And way we were black
guarded, slanged and abused by this distagpsa.
e! Congressman in the presence ofhis numerous
auditory, was a caution to those pious black re-
publieahs who think that Bingham is very
noral man. Well we have one com fort and that
isr while Bingham was pouring out his anathem.
as against US, he was not using the Same Ian
suage about batter men; such as james Buch.
anan and ia lse Taney, two men that often re-
ce ye Ebehind their bacis as we did) his worst
slang. Now, in all kindness we would say,
Johnny don't take it so hard. You have been
up for Office tonr times since We have been con.
ducting the Sentinel, and we have always tried
to do Cur duty in exposing your political dcma-
gogGcry; and as you are getting to be more Of
