The SIcKLEs TRIAL.-Our exchanges
are full of the details of the trial of Dan
lei e. Sickles, for the murder of p. Bar
ton Key. 1t was a cold-blooded, cow
ardly murder, perpetrated by man
whose whole life has been such as ought
to deprive him of the sympathies of the
pure-minded and the good. False to the
marriage vow himself, almost from the
first day of its Inference, he is in poor
condition to assume the attitude of an in
jured husband, and talk about the dishon-
or of bis bed by seducer. 1t must be
under very peculiar circumstances that
woman whose husband treats her as he
ought to treat her, will betray bis conf
dence; but when she is herself habitually
outraged by the libertinism of the man
who has sworn to love her, and cling to
Ter alone, there is small charity in call
ng her fault by the harsh epithets usual
! applied to it. Key receives but little
ympatby. Sickles deserves less.

u The session of Prof. Poore's sing

the able manner in which he has dis
charged his duty, deserves more than a
silent approval. Those who trade in love
and dine on music, moody food, are bet
ter judges of concord of sweet sounds
than We; but it is no reliance on the
judgement of others that moves us to say
his instruction has been thorough, faith
ful, accurate and beneficial. We hope
another class will be formed Immediately.
There is no accomplishment that charms
like singing, and he who has no love for
it,
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebusn

RalcOmbe aud Banning.

SAINT A. D. BALCoMBE and BANNING
should be yoked together, and exhibited
throughout the State. BALCoMBE was one
of the strongest friends of the loan measure
in the State, when it was introduced and
pending its consideration before the people.
But after it's passage he sold out his straw
Dictatorship in the Transit road for $4,000
Minnesota State seven per cent. bonds, and
$4,000 in first mortgage Transit Company
bonds. He then sold his bonds to the own
ers of the Rochester bank, receiving there
for, the bills of that institution, which he
Immediately put into circulation in Winona
county. AS soon as this money was dis
bursed, and other currency and valuables
received in lieu therefor, BALcoMBE turned
Repudiationist. These facts we CLEAN from
the Winona Democrat.
Before BANNING openly turned Repudia-
zionist, and attacked our State currency,
he secured the issue of $4,000 of Rochester
money, upon State Railroad bonds which
he held. This money was put in circulation
in st. Paul-it went into the hands of poor
mechanics and small traders-and when it
was all out, BANNING commenced his fend-
ish attacks upon the State credit and his
systematic labors to depreciate home cur
rency. He took precious good care, how
ever, to realize $4,000 before he commenced
the crusade.
What beautiful and consistent pair of
Repudiationists these men are. Citizens of
St. Paul recollect BANNING has his repre-
sentatives on the Republican legislative
ticket.

The North.

Notwithstanding the impudent boasts of
the Republican presses and orators, North.
ern Minnesota is not merely safe for the
Democracy this fall, but it is safe by an
overwhelming majority. A late trip up the
Northern Mississippi Valley, and meeting
along it hundreds of working Democrats,
enables us to assure our friends of other
sections, that the old Democratic maiorities
of the upper counties will be largely in
creased on the Eleventh of October. The
talk of American and German detection to
the platform and candidates of the Democ-
racy, with the sound of which our opponents
have been felicitating themselves, is the
merest bosh and twaddle. The old Democ-
racy is all right, in numbers as well as doc
trine. The soil there is unsuited to Repub-
licanism, and the stray roots which have
imbedded themselves in the soil, will be
utterly rooted up before the close of the
present campaign. Every county north
will send down Democratic majority te
swell the proportions of the glorious victory
which awaits our ticket throughout thu
State.

Hon. CHARLES Ii. LARRABEE, NJ. g., of
Wisconsin, will address the people as follows:


We received, yesterday, word from Gov.
A. P. WILLARD, of Indiana, that he would
leave Chicago next Saturday for st. Paul,
and would place himself at the disposal of
the Democracy for weeks stumping. Ap.
pointments have accordingly been made for
him, which will be found under the editorial
head and to which we invite the attention
of our Democratic friends. Gov. WILLARD
has for years enjoyed the distinction of being
one of the ablest and most effective po-
litical speakers of the Union and the ge.
nervous contribution of his services to our
cause, should be responded to by mammoth
gatherings wherever his appointment scarry
him.

The Minnesota Valley.

Judge LARRABEE, and the German ora
tor, RoTHE, left this city yesterday for their
stumping tour along the Minnesota Valley.
We bespeak for them hearty reception by
the people of all nationalities at the places
of their appointments. Sound as they are
upon Democratic principles, and able and
courteous in their treatment of them as well
as of the doctrines of the opposition, they
deserve everywhere large and attentive
audiences. No clearer or ADLER discussions
OF politics, either in English or German,
will be afforded to the people of the Valley,
than will be given by Messrs. LARRABEE
and RoTHE.

THE WEEKLY PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT.

told the people that some other gentleman
must occupy the time till he had got his
dinner. The lion must be fed before he
would roar. So, the judge stood in the
breech. He did not do justice to himself,
for we all know that the Judge is fluent
speaker, when he is q" i the vein for it.
He evidently felt that be was regarded as
mere pocket pistol to amuse the children,
while the great gun was being loaded.
After about an hour CARL made bis ap-
pearance, and Judge GOODRICH suspended
his remarks. Col. ALDRIcH, in introducing
ScHURz made one characteristic speech. He
besought the people not to make too much
noise-that they must restrain themselves
and gave out the idea that it would be hard
work for them, but they must try-he said
eff you cannot keep quiet, keep as quiet as
you can" We held our breath, perfectly
subdued by the pathetic entreaties of the
Co.,, as the great ScHURz opened his mouth.
His first word dissolved the spell, and as he
went on, the audience, as we'll as ourselves,
found no difficulty in retraining their plau-
dts. The universal expression of all was,
can this be the mar whose fame as an orator
has been trumpeted in all the Republican
papers of this State? The speech excited
no enthusiasm at all but we must do Mr..
SCHURz the justice to say that he told them
he should not make an elaborate effort.
What he can do when he makes the effort,
we do not know, but this speech was, if not
failure, at least avery near approach to
it, considering the loud trumpeting which
preceded him.
The heavy performances being over the
farce succeeded. JENN1soN the "phunny
phellow," him of the cap and bells, the "pos-
toriorial gymnosophist'' of the party, leaped
upon the stage, and went through his usual
gyrations to the crack of the ring-master's
whip, and 10 the infinite amusement of the
little boys and girls who sat below him
munching gingerbread and peanuts.
The Minnesotian, of course, says the
Democratic meeting was failure, and the
Republican meeting a complete success.
Few will take their assertions as authority
lin the matter. 1t is gratifying for us to
know, that, while conceding to them the
most women and children, that we had the
most voters.

From the Red River Settlements.

We are informed by Mr.. j. w. TAY-
LoR, who arrived In st. Paul on Saturday,
from Fort Garry, that the steamer Arson
Northrup is laid up for repairs at Glouces.
ter, ten miles below, and north of Lower
Fort Garry. Captain BLAKELEY, with the
crew of the boat, are on their way by the
Plain route, proceeding by train Of carts
to Georgetown, and thence, by stage, to st.
Paul.
The boiler of the steamer leaked, and
much is required to be done to the hull and
cabins. A ship carpenter is now employed,
and during the fall and winter it is expected
that the boat will be placed in condition
to give full satisfaction to freighters.
The navigation Of Red River is interrupt
ed for about half the season by shadows at
the mouth of Goose River. Here the diff.
Guilty of making the last trip was encoun-
tered, and which was only overcome by ex-
traordinary exertions on the part of Cap
tain BELL and his crew, aided by the
suggestions of Captain BLAKELEY. This
obstacle might be removed by wing dams,
and probably will be, next season.
Mr.. TAYLOR left Selkirk on the Cd of
September, having passed the month of
August in the Settlement greatly to his
satisfaction. The wheat crop of Red
River is excellent-a much greater area
having heen cultivated than usual. Flour
at Fort Garry was selling at Sc hundred
weight. Great interest prevails in the ex-
pected legislation o. Great Britain, organ
izing new government for the region
between Lake Winnipeg and the Rocky
Mountains
n. W. KIrrsoN, Esq. is at Fort Garry,
but will start for St. Paul about the LIST Of
October.
Col. MOBILES party had reached Fort
Ellce in safety, whence under the direction
of j. w. HAMILTON, two-thirds of their
number have struck nearly west for the
koOtOnais' Pass and the Frazer River
mines. Col. MOBILES, with DR.. ANDERSON,
of Minneapolis, and Messrs. WHEELoCK and
MARBLE, returned from Fort Ellice to
Pembina, by way of Devils Lake. The
two last named proceeded from Pembna to
Fort Garry.
Captain EAsroN and Colonel WAIT have
returned from their exploration for a suita-
BILE site of United States fort on the Red
River.
Mr.. TAYLoR's return route was by Red
Lake River and Otter Tail to Crow Wing
thence by stage to st. Paul. His notes,
gathered during thirty days passed in the
Settlement will be given to the public at
an early day, and in such form as may seem
best calculated to advance the subject of
communication with Northwestern America
through the State of Minnesota.

The Letter from Reemelin ON the Ohio
Swindler. He

The letter from Hon. CHARLES REEME-
LIN, to Republican of Red Wing, has
created created considerable sensation in
Republican circles. 1t has removed what
ever doubts the honest and candid portion
of that party may have entertained, as to
BAKERS guilt. Mr.. REEMEL1N has been
active as Republican since the organiza-
ton Of that party. He attended the
Pittsburgh Convention of February, 1856,
and took a prominent part in laying
down the basis of the Republican Or
ganization he was an able advocate
of FREMoNT's election has been an un-
wavering supporter of Gov. CHASE, of
Ohio and up to the hour of his GREENE
L1N's) appointment as Trustee Of the Ohio
Life Insurance & Trust Company, in Feb.
ruary of the present year, he held lucra-
tive and responsible appointment at the
hands of Governor CHASE. But Mr.. REEM-
ELM will not permit his sympathies as a
Republican, to overmaster his duty as cit
izen and, as consequence, he has been
active as member of the Ohio Investigat-
ing Committee, in ferretting out and expos
ing BAKERS scoundrelism. In his language
BAKER was regarded /" as venal and corrupt
by all with whom he came in contact"
The letter of Mr.. REEMELIN was written
in response to the interrogatories of ORRIN
D1NsMoRE, Esq, the Republican Probate
Judge of Goodhue county. Mr.. DINsMoRE
suppressed the letter, but copies of the cor
respondence were procured from Ohio. The
nice sense of honor which actuated DINs-
MORE, we trust, will be appreciated by the
people of Goodhue county. Had Mr..
REEMEL1N's answer exculpated BAKER, it
would have been expressed to every portion
of the State, within 48 hours after its receipt
But as it proved and substantiated every
charge we have made against the Infamous
scoundrel, the Judge of Probate of Goodhue
county, concluded to suppress it. He be-
came, by so doing, an accessory after the
fact

The phrase honest Indebtedness" in the
Republican platform was coined by that dis
tinguished financier, J. H. BAKER. Won

(Signed) FIN. WRIGHT,
J. II. BAKER,
Judge STANLEY MATTHEWS, of Ohio, in
his testimony explains how the "honest in.
debtedness" was contracted:
"The Ohio loan negotiated in the fall of 1856,
was given to H. A. johnson & Co.; that he,
ludlow was partner with johnson in that
transaction; and that by an arrangement be.
tween himself Ludlow, and F. NJ. Wright and
JAS. H. BAKER, these two latter gentlemen were
to participate with him in the profits upon
his share; and that .as an advance on ac.
count of the profits expected to be realized,
he had paid to those gentlemen $4,000, and ia.
ken the note referred to-"

The statement of the cotton crop of the
United States for the year ending August
81, 1859, shows that the total receipts of
cotton at all the ports of the year were
1851 40l, bales being 323,636 bales larger
than any previous crop in in the history of
the country. New Orleans received much
more than any other port ,669, 274 bales.
The largest previous crop was in 1866
the crop now completed shows an excess of
1888 over the previous year QS578)
and Oil, 1862 over the crop of 1867. OF
the total there were received overland 47,175
bales at New York, &c, 463 at Philadelphia;
and 1858 at Baltimore. The crop as made
up above, comprises only the total received
at the seaboard, to which must be added
the estimated southern consumption to make
the total production. This brings the total
yield OF cotton for the last year up to 4,017,-
900 bales, against 3,247 900 for the preced-
ing year. The exports to foreign ports for
the year were 1921 ;4O3 bales, viz: to
Great Britain, 2Ol9,252; to France, $780,
COG; to the north of Europe, 33O,Ol2; to
other foreign ports, 22l ,443. The stock on
hand at the different ports of the United
States on the LIST instant was 49, 37 bales,
against 1O2 1926 at the same period last year.
The consumption of the United States for
the year is stated at 927 ,G5l bales. On the
lst of September, 1858, the market opened
at 127s, touched 1879 before the close of
the month, fell to liz in November, recov-
cred to II, where it remained during most
of the winter, and has ranged from 1919 to
1921 ever since, closing at ll7S September
lst, 1859, but now dropped to 113s. The
prospects for the next crop are now quite
favorable, and, if no early frost intervene,
we may hope for an increase even upon the
large total produced the last year.

contractors to supply the marble for the
United States capitol extension, be allowed
to furnish the monolithic shafts for the por.
ticos from other American quarries than
that.of Lee, Mass. Examinations have es-

of the morble is not so good as that of Italy
nor can it be as expeditiously or cheaply
furnished.
