WE referred some time ago to the fact,

Red Republican of the atheistical school.
The Saltwater Democrat of Monday, says:
REPUBLICAN CoNsIsTENCY.-One of the i'm.
ported orators who spoke on Tuesday evening
for the edification of the Blacks in this city,
earnestly invoked the Republicans. as Chris
tians, to do their duty to their God, by going to
the polls on the 18th of October, and voting the
whole Republican ticket.
The fact that their nominee for State Treasu.
rer, who lives in this city. is an open and
avOwed infdel, who SCOTS at the idea of a God,
and circulates from his Office documents which
declare our Saviour bastard, shows the shame
less disregard of truth by that party and its ex-
pOnents.
If this is not "stealing the livery of Heaven
to serve the Devil in" then we do not know
what is.
Col. CYRUS ALDR1CH loves good story,
and he don't care much who suffers by the
telling of it." At Saltwater, the other
day, referring to the charge against BAKER,
the Ohio swindler, the Colonel advised the
man of " grease " not to deny anything that
might be said about him. In support of
the advice he gave, he related the following
anecdote
During canvass for members of the Legis-
lature in Illinois, one of the candidates, rum
ming in the district of which Mr.. Aldrich was q
resident, was accused of stealing cow. The
gentlemen who aspired to legislative honors
Indignantly denied the charge, when 10 and be-
hold! the opposition turned around in earnest
and proved It on him. {" I therefore advise my
friend Mr.. Baker," continued the facetious
Colonel, I" not to deny what is said about him.
for fear his opponents willprove their charges"

R. J. MENDENALL, the Democratic can
didate for Treasurer of Hennepin county,
proposes, if elected, to discharge the duties
of the Office for one half the legal fees, and

the taxpayers $1,000 to $4,000.
The Winona Democrat publishes the arti-
Giles of agreement between the Transit Rail-
road Company and WILLIAM WINDOW,
Know Nothing candidate for Congress, by
which the latter binds himself to serve the
Transit Railroad Company as their attorney,
at the rate of $4,000 per annum in addi-
ton to which he was to receive ordinary
professional fees for extra labor. The
Democrat mentions circumstance which
is worth quoting in this connection:
"THE WASHINGTON HARLoT." THE Chatfeld
Republican says that the Transit Railroad Com
pany has paid out State bonds in liquidation of
corruption debts, and that Washington harlot
received $4,000 of bonds for her services in
behalf of the land grant. Well. if the state
ment of the Republican be true, who was it but
William Window, as Attorney, President, Di
rector and Trustee of the Transit Railroad Com
pany, that went to st. Paul to negotiate, COM
promise and settle with this ''Washington har.
lot" as the Chatfeld Republican libelousy
terms lady of the most respectable character?
Window made the settlements, and if there
was fraud practced who was it but Window
that practiced it? If there was fraud practiced,
was not Window, as President, Director, TINS.
tee and Attorney for the Transit Railroad,
knowing to and implicated in the fraud? was
he not most guilty participant in that fraud
