yesterday and refused to allow anything to
run except an engine with the mail car The
passengers who left here yesterday morning
were compelled to return last evening, they
having been stopped at Laporte.
The cause of the strike is the inability or

Serious ARRAY at Leavenworth.

LEAVENWORTH, sept. D.
A collision occurred between the Democ-
racy and Republicans on Saturday night,
both parties having made demonstrations
prior to the municipal election. The Repub-
licans were holding meeting at the intersec-
ton OF two streets, and Democratic torch
light procession attempted to pass through,
which being resisted, a general melee ensued.
Several hundred on both sides participating,
using stones, bludgeons, pistols and knives.
One person was shot and five or six severely
wounded-nope fatally injured The Repub-
licans maintained their ground and proceeded
with their meeting. The ARRAY is believed to
have been purely accidental, and is univer-
sally regretted. Some apprehension of a re-
newed disturbance to-day, but effective pre-
ventive measure have been taken.

man Party!,,
There was Democratic Meeting at Con-
cert Hall on Thursday evening, under the aus
pieces of the Democratic Club. The Hall was
pretty well filled; but as usual, there were
mo enthusiasts" on hand!
The attraction of the evening was Ex-Gov.
Willis A. German. After getting through
the usual balderdash about United States
Bank, Land Distribution, Tariff, &C., which
is merely fragment of that old Indiana
speech-he addressed himself to the conside-
ration of the Railroad Policy of the State as
exhibited in the two platforms.
1t was an elaborate attempt to interpret the
Thirteenth resolution of the Democratic Plat
form to mean what the 9Th of the Republican
plainly says.
He doubted whether any of the bonds is
sued were Observation-Disclosures that the
Loan Amendment must be strictly lived up to
there was no avoiding it-and that the Loan
Amendment pointed out the mode in which
the interest must be met; and no 'legisla
tion," Gas referred to in the Democratic plat
FORM could provide for meeting the Interest
by taxation, without further amendment t.
the Constitution. : ".---s ID. ....li mi f..
This seems sound doctrine; but is mos
certainly not that of the Democratic platform
A portion of the Ex- Governors speech wa
devoted to ventillating New Plan which h
had himself elaborated in the deep chamber
OF his own mighty brain--a plan which is It

BosroN, Sept 2.
The auroral display of last night was so
brilliant after midnight that ordinary print
could be read by its light. 1t considerably
impeded the work of the telegraph lines, and
its effects were continued up to noon today.
The auroral current from east to west was
so regular that the operators on Eastern lines
could send messages here without the usual
batteries being applied. The same extraor-
ordinary effect was apparent on the National
telegraph wires between Philadelphia and
Pittsburg.

Representative in the Legislature. Mr.. Trott
is a German capable man and a gentle

The Pioneer and Mr.. Baasen

The Pioneer of Sunday has some four or
five columns in defence of its party for hav-
ing in 1857 obtained power by forged and
fraudulent votes. A prominent feature of the
defence is statement from Mr.. Francis Baa-
sen, the present unprincipled Secretary of
State and candidate for reelection. Other
matters occupy us to-day. We will attend
to his case in due time. We have more de-
velopments forthcoming of his radical cor
ruption as man and public officer, which
will make decent men of every party start
back in utter disgust at his moral leprosy.

seen in Minnesota. The Hall was crowded to

cheering, and prolonged, cordial applause.
We copy from the Republican portion of
the remarks of Gov, RAMSEY on State Policy.

The Gov. next directed his remarks to
questions of State policy. The manner in
which the affairs of Minnesota had been carried
on by Democratic State Administration
within the past two years, was reviewed by
Gov. R. dignifedly, yet with scathing effect.
He remarked that, two years ago, the State
Government was placed in the hands of the
Democracy in good condition and free from
debt or embarrassments of any kind. The
taxes were then comparatively light We
had no bad currency to curse us. Our af
fairs were all prosperous, and immigration

lease is about to expire, and no good, blu,
much evil, has been accomplished. Ruir

alton has increased. The State is involved ir
debt to the full amount of its constitutional
limit, and yet the Treasury is empty. Thu
loan of $3.50, 900 has been largely consumed
by the payment of exorbitant salaries ,anl
the expenditure of contingent funds which
would be considered burdensome in Stat

to this, the State has been unjustly, saddled

Opposition to the Spirit Of RowdyIsm

and the spirit already manifested has had its
effect upon the rowdy gangs. A full indie
pendent ticket will be nominated. Our city
is certainly bad enough, but the sensation re-

The late steamboat outrage is an instance
OF this spirit of exaggeration. At the inves-
tigation into the affair, forty-tw witnesses
were examined, and yet not one either saw or
heard of any violence to the females on board.

published, appear to have been equally mag

Watab !-.-Was not George l.. Becker
also a Know Nothing?
SAUK RAPIDS, Benton Co., Sep. 3, SO.
To tho Editors eftas MsasssOssaai
Ihave been expecting to see you hauling over
the Goals, some of the candidates on the Dem
cratic ticket, for their former connection with
the Know Nothing Lodges.
Some of US old settlers remember as far
back as 1854; and among other things well
remembered hereabout Is, that sometime in
that year Know Nothing Lodge was duly or
ganized at the town of Watab, six or seven
miles above this place, on the Mississippi.
The Winnebagoes then lived opposite the
town, on the west side of the Mississippi, and
Sylvanus B. Lowry, and other Indian traders,
then lived there.
A Lodge was duly set up in Watab by
some grand missionary of Know Nothingism
from the east; and Lowry and other promi-
nent Rice men about Watab joined she o.
der!
On this you can rely, as was in a position
at that time to be we'll informed on the SUBJ
ject.
The Know Nothing missionary obtained the
better success in his mission, as he exhibited
to the Rice men hereabouts, evidence that Mr..
Henry NJ. Rice had joined the order in the
east and that his nearest friends in st. Paul,
especially the law firm of Rice, Hollinshead
& Becker, were all members Oft
The Indian traders at Watab, therefore, all
went into the concern: under the general sup
position, that it would be good thing, politi-
cally and pecuniarily, as it really looked prob
able at that time the Know Nothing party
was going to be the great overshadowing par
ty of the whole nation. -
They all slipped up on that notion; and
now would rather keep dark about their con.
nection with the order, t
Lowry, you may rely upon it, without any
kind of mistake, was a full fledged member
of the Know Nothing Order. --5
have no doubt Becker was also; but the
evidence in regard to him is more hearsay and
common repute Lowry, however, is certain

The Evidence OF John H., Brisbin's
Corruption.

On referring to the Appendix to the Re-
publican Address in to-day's paper, our read
ers will find the Proof, from the st. Paul
Daily Pioneer of Dec. 8, 1854, Of John B.
Brisbin's utter want of honest principle,
shown by his conduct when formerly pub
lie Attorney, in betraying his client to the op-
posite party. Can such man be safely
trusted to act for the public again, when all
his past history shows him. to be corrupt and
faithless ?
To elect John B. Brisbin Attorney General
of Minnesota is to elect all INSCRIPTIONS man
to fill his own pockets at the sacrifice of the
interests of the whole People, He did so
once-he will DO Il again.

An Immense ssDefalcation:,

The Pioneer and Democrat is hard run.
After looking around in all directions to dis
cover offsetts to the Democratic peculation
and extravaganza involved in $417, 900 appro-
prations by the first Democratic State Legis-
lature it has at last found out that Elk Sheriff
A. W. TULLIs appears to be defaulter in the
immense sum of $13,75! During his term
$4,000 Of county money passed through his
hands but the Pioneer has at last ascertained
that he is a defaulter to the county thirteen
dollars and six bits! The Pioneer processes
to develope this immense fact in the follow
ing paragraph, pretending to be report of
proceedings before the County Board:
DEFALCATIoNs.-Ale letter was read from w.
A. Passivant, of Pittsburgh, Pa, enclosing a
receipt from A. w. Tullis, Sheriff in 1857,
for taxes to the amount of 1875, and stating
that the Sheriff returned to the Register of
Deeds the land which this sum covered as
unpaid, and that he had been obliged to pay
twice, and asked that the amount be refunded.
Now, word as to the facts about this six
bit "defalcation." In the first place, Sheriff
TULLIs DID NOT "return the land which this
sum covered as unpaid" but the contrary
Inquiry of County Treasurer SMITH and
County Auditor BUCHANAN, will satisfy any
one on this point. Sheriff TULUs abides by
the record, and if the taxpayer had to pay
t0ice, it was not Mr.. TULLIs' fault, but the
fault of the Register of Deeds, who collected
it over again, though the record showed it to
have been returned as paid!
Sheriff TULLIs does not-in the midst of a
multitude of accounts-claim to have been
absolutely infallible, nor to have made no mis-
takes. But he does not owe the County of
Ramsey dollar, so far as he knows and has
settled up every demand promptly and to the
satisfaction of the county managers. If when
the present Democratic Sheriff retires from
office, he shows as clean record as Sheriff
TULLIs did and does, it will be lucky for the
county.
In the meantime, we would recommend the
Pioneer to try and get into larger business
than raking up dollar and-six-bit "de-
falcations" against Republican ex-oaicer.
