A LARGE SrocK.-it is matter Of surprise
to strangers who visit ST. Paul for the first time
upon looking through our various business
houses, to see such large stocks Of goods kept
on hand, to supply trade which he supposes
is not much greater than that Of one old settled
county in any Of the middle States. Strangers
are not prepared to anticipate SO large bust
ness in a city Of ten years growth, and every
thing they see is marvellous. The idea that a
Dry Goods House, such as CArHcARr 4 Co. &,
occupying four large stories for one seasons
stock, can be supported, isstartling to his ideas
Of business, yet he does not long remain in this
mood. The general conversations of the ever
changing crowds At hotels soon convnces him
that the stocks are not too large when he finds
that the country merchants make nearly all
their purchases in the city, particularly Of Dry
Goods and he ceases to wonder at what he
supposed the foolishness Of business men, like
CArHcARr Il Co., who keep stocks Of Dry
Goods on hands for their regular trade varying
from 1000 to $4,000 during season.

Who Vote the Rspabiiean Ticket In
Chic ago.

1t has always been a wonder here of late
how the Republicans could carry the eIec.
tons in Chicago by such large majorities.
The Chicago Democrat, one Of the organs Of
the Republican party Of Illinois, has ex.
planned the matter at last LONG JOHN tells
why it is that bis Republican friends sue
coed. We clip the following from that
paper Of Monday last:
This year, 1859, it is notorious that the black.
legs, the brothel keepers, and the whole class
Of offenders, who claim the right TO violate all
our laws with impunity, also rotsd the Repub
lean ticket. The loafng and vagrant class Of
professional street laborsrs, who are incapable
Of doing good days work, and therefore can
not get situations under any individual or cor.
poration, also rotsd the Republican ticket. There
were men sent 10 the brideweil. very deserved
ly, who were psrdoned out on the eve Of cleo
ton, and they oil voted the Republican ticket.
We suppose that LONG JOHN knows
whereof be speaks.
