The Festival.

The Festival. | a .f.sla r
% The festival given by the ladies Of the
Methodist Church OF this place, on We'd
nesdny evening last. was decided sue
cess, and reflected great credit upon those
in charge Of the Arrangements. There
were some two hundred ladies' and gen
tlemen present, composed, ofcourse of the
beauty, chiyalry and intelligence of the
town and vicinity, all Of whom seemed
to enjoy themselves prodiyiously.
Although'the ladies Of Uppcr Sandus-
ky and vicinity are proverbial for their
beauty, intelligence and wit, we think we
have never known an occasion upon which
these entertaining and emu ne qualiti S
were SO successfully and charmingly ex-
hibitcd as they were at the festival to
which we allude--al seemed 10 vie with

Oi the steiner sex, we cannot but think
that the sweet creatures were entirely
succc ssful in their efforts. u-
When we say that the supper was cx
cellent, we give the reader but faint
idea Of what we feel and mean--it was
truly sump,uous feast--and from the
manner in which it was discussed by the

UnlOn.Sav wing.

Yesterday, in the Senate, Mr.. CowAN called
up his union-saving resolutions, introduced
the day previous, relative to the "Harpers
Ferry Insurrection." These resolutions are
a mere re-hash of the Southern clap-trap
spouted forth daily on the floor of the House
at ashington--wi the single difference,
that Mr.. CowAN does not propose, up here in
Minnesota, to leave the Union just yet, as the
great leaders of his party do in Congress.
The resolutions were advocated by the
mover and Messrs. Hall and Mackubin, of
our city-the latter gentleman being particu-
larly certain that the Union would soon he
trent asunder," unless the progress of the
Republican party was at once stayed. The
resolutions were finally laid on the table.
Not word was said by either of these
three gentlemen-who all hail from the State
of Mary yland-about Gov. WIsE's threat in
1856, to seize upon the armory at Harper's
Ferry, and also the archives at Washington,
in case FREMONT were elected. Oh, no!
There was no treason in that threat, in the
opinion of this trio of "high-toned Southern

Mr.. VAN VOORHEES, offered series of reso-
lutions in the House on Monday, insttuting
an inquiry of the Governor of the names Of
those persons who presented Warrants for the
$4,000 which were set aside for the payment
of the interest on the State Loan of $3.50, 900.
The Governor states in his Message, that he
had recommended the State Treasurer to set
aside the above amount for the above purpose,
but somehow or other the Treasurer only set
aside $4,000, and this he felt himself bound
to disburse, and in one case he did SO, under
a threat of legal proceedings. The resolutions
of Mr.. VAN VoRHEEs desire the Governor to
make known the names of the persons who
presented the Warrants for payment, and also
the name of the person who made the threat,
and VINO received the money. The inquiry
is a pertinent one, and we hope His Excellen-
cy will cheerfully respond to it. Does our
neighbor Of the Pioneer know anything of the
$4,000? Trot him out, whoever he is,-the
people would like to see him.

The House, yesterday, after warm and
spirited debate, which occupied most of the
day, decided by vote of SO to II, to elect
NEwsoN, MOORE, FOSTER & Co. incidental
printers to do all the incidental printing of the
House during the present session of the Le-
gislature. The validity of the contract now
held by EARLE S. GooDRIcH, was ably dis
cussed on the Republican side, by Messrs.
SECoMBE SANBoRN, MANN, ADAMS, STEVENS,
MORRISON and DR.. TRow The legality OF
the contract was defended by Col. ROBERT
SON, who, of all the Democratic members in
the House, was the only one who came to the
rescue Of the waning fortune Of our over-fed
and arrogant neighbor. The members did
not act without due deliberation, but when
once convinced of the iustness of their posi-
ton, they exhibiteda spirit and determination
worthy all praise. The people will thank
them for probing one of the most corrupt
schemes that ever dsgraced State.
They have our kind regards for the con-
fidence reposed in us, and for the compliment
paid u.s. We shall seek to retain their good
will and the good will of the people, by execut-
ing our trust in satisfactory manner, and by
saving to the State many thousands of dollars
hitherto paid for the Public Printing.

Special Despatch to the New York Herald, Dec. 1e.

Two members from New York-an Amer
ican and anti Lecoupton Democrat-are con-
sidered good for Mr.. Sherman when the other
two can be found; but as Horace F. Clark is
reported to declare that he will never vote for
Sherman, it is impossible to conceive where
they can be found. Messrs. Riggs and
Adrian, of New Jersey, and Davis, of In llama,
refused to vote for Sherman under any cir
cumstances. Forney was here last evening,
laboring with them, but to no pureose.
think it is clear now that the House cannot
be organized by majority. The Democrats
and South Americans are satisfied that neither
can 60 the other.
Mr.. Davis, of Indiana, is trying hard to
make capital out of his position, but, possess
ing none Of the elements necessary to win
either the Southern Americans or Democrats,
to whom he caters, he stands not ghost of
chance. He ignores the Republicans, and
they would not touch him with ten foot pole
considering his present leaning He is con-
sidered as acting under the direction of Sena-
tor Douglas, and the latter would like to see
the Administration members humbled by be
ing compelled to vote for an anti Lecompton
Democrat. They never will do it, and if they
would, they could not carry the South Amer
leans with them.
The pressure and clamor of mail contract
ors for the money due them by the govern
ment is felt by the Democracy in the House,
and by the Executive, and the former, hav-
ing exhausted every fair plenipotentary OBJ
jections to an organization, it is thought will
consent to allow Mr.. Hickman's plurality reso.
luton to take effect in day or two.
1t is understood that Senator Douglas in
fuences not only Davis, of Indiana, but
Riggs and Adrian, of New Jersey, fnot Hor

of his father-in-law, Mr.. Vanderbilt than any
other. MIR. VS. mail steamship interests ar

DEATH OF A HISTORICAL CHARACTER.-
Died, at her residence near this city, Mrs
Abigail Kessler, aged SO years.
Such is the simple announcement handed
to US, of the death of well known character
Mother kessler," as from her age she was
entitled to be termed, Gfnot from her charac-
teri, came to st. Paul at very early day and
settled, with her family on claim on the Lit
tie Canada Road, about four miles from the
city. Being woman of great energy of char
acter, and masculine traits, she conducted the
business of farming, employing help, selling
produce, and managing all its affairs as well
and profitably as any man could have DONE
All our old settlers here, will remember
"Mother Kesser" as she appeared daily in
our streets in the summer season, selling veg
etables, and driving yoke of oxen by the
primitive mode ofropes fastened to the tips
of their horns. There was no one who could
beat her at a bargain, and she was afraid of
no living being, as she could use profanity
and bi.lingsgate in fluent style, and very many
vulgar sayings current in community, are at
tributed to Mother Kessler"
She lived to an extraordinary age, induced
probably by active habits Of life. She had
several grand children, and even great grand
children. She used to say she remembered
distinctly the battle of Brandywine, fought in
the neighborhood where she lived when she
was thirteen years old, but much her past
history the old woman was unable to give
from loss of memory. She was certainly
singular character, and one worthy Of more
than mere death notice" at the hands of
Journalists. The first acquaintance the wri-
ter had with the subject of this sketch, was
while acting as clerk in the Post Office. The
old lady appeared and enqured in coarse
voice, if there was "any letter for me?" We
politelysasked "what name :" Bestow ing up
on us a look Of neffable contempt as if at our
"greenness" in not knowing SO celebrated
parsonage, gave us the cognomen. We re-
ported, no letter. "Well," said the old lady,
shifting an enormous qiud of tobacco from
one cheek to another, "By G., there ought
to be-" This is perhaps, fair specimen of
of the way the deceased was in the habit of
