w A London paper saws that for wears

~ A London paper says that for years
past man named John Wardel, common
miner at West Rroomwich, has attained note
riety by not only asserting that he is connect
ed with the royal family through his mother
and the Duke of York, but frequently annoys
Her Majesty by addressing letters to his Sow
ereign. In these coarse, lengthy and ill-spell-
ed epistles, threats are held out if demands for
money be not complied with. The results of
such an inexplicable course Qor the fellow is
sane enough have been regular prosecution
of Wardel, before the magistrates, and i'm
prisonment for twelve months of the offender.
When brought to the station, he remarked
to Sergeant Richards" They Ohe magis-
strates) can only give me twelve months, and
when come out again I'll cook her goose"

of the Queen. He was remanded

The Discussion ON SATURDAY EyENrNG.-
Sanborh Hall was wen flied on Saturday
evening by the citizens Of Winona, members
Of both political parties, to hear the discussion
announced to take place between Nessrs. Cole
and Brlsbin, candidates for the Office of At
torney General. The discussion was opened
at 8 O'Clock, by Mr. Cole, who spoke one hour;
Mr.. Rrisbin replied in aispsech occupying in
its delivery an. hour and a half and Mr.. Cole
rejoined, closing the discussion in, another
half hour, Mr.. Cole, who is but q young
man, far surpassed the expectations which
had been formed concerning him, and fully
satisfied the audience that in point Of sound
argument and auency of speech, be was moth
ing inferior to his adversary. His first hour
was devoted to running commentary on the
lem0cratic Platform, In which he showed up
the yagaries and Inconsistencies of that docu-,
ment in excellent style, The. close of the
speech consisted in an analysis of the Railroad
policy Of the two parties, and an exposition Of
the practical workings of Democratic currency
reform. Mr., Cole stated that he was unalter-
ably opposed to 'repudiation," and emphati-
calfy denied being a Know Nothing, Of which
he had been accused.
u Mr. Brisbin is evidently an Attorney of
some experience not overstoeked with cans
dor-and is apparently somewhat vain-glo-
rious. In the discussion of political questions
ne was nothing but an artful dodger, display
ing scarcely the semblenoe of an argument.
In his pompeus manner, he insinuated that
his opponents arguments were weak. The
prevailing impression was that Mr.. BIS argu-
ments, if any, partook Of the same feeling, for
he took good care not to over-tax their
strength by making any public display of

At the st. Cloud Democratic meeting the
other day, as we perceive by the Pioneer, Mr..
Christopher Graham, one of the Democratic
candidates for Congress, took open ground
against Mr.. Crews Homestead Bill.
He contended that it would not have helped
the settlers of Minnesota, without the Land
Sales Is Mr.. Graham SO ignorant as to sup
pose that the passage of the Homestead Bill
would have repeated the presumption act p
Is this really ignorance, or is it only dema-
gogueism? In either case it shows him unfit
for Congressman. The Democrats having
voted to kill the Homestead Bill in Congress,
in Difference to the demands of the South, the
plan of Land-office candidates like Graham is
to depreciate the Bill itself as no great things.

Noah would not let him into the ark, told him

The men on this ticket are all respectable
men, honest men, and each man capable for
the office for which he is nominated. The
ticket is well distributed geographically, so
that every section is represented upon it. In
the seven or eight years we have known and
lived in Dakota county, this is the strongest
and best ticket ever placed in nomination
there by any party. And, though Dakota
has been heretofore known as strong Dem
ocratic county, yet so universal is the disgust
at the brutal proceedings at the late Demo
cratic County Convention in Willoughby's
barn, and SO strong runs the tide Of feeling
also in favor Of general change in rulers and
officials, both in State and County, that its
triumphant election throughout, is not doubt
ed by sensible men of either party in Dakota!

Democratic Reputation.

The Democrats of Dakota County at their
Convention on Saturday last, passed reso-
luton unanimously not to pay the interest or
principal of the Railroad bonds. Will the
Pioneer read these men out Of the party, as
it did the Democrats of Hennepin County for
passing similar resolutions? 1t is not doing
that business now as much as it was, for it
would soon have nothing to read out

Told TIE TRurH.-The Editor of the Belle
PLANE Enqsirer, who was in town looking about
q few days since, thus speaks of one of our most
prominent and popular merchants:
Cathcart & Co., of st. Paul, have one of the
largest and most complete assortments of Dry
Goods to be found in the Western States, and sells
as low as goods can be purchased i'm N. Y. city,
with tho cost of transportation added. Their
large building is completely filled With everything
in the dry goods line and they are constantly re-
ceiving additions to their stock. One of the firm
will leave for N Y. city in few days, for the pur-
pose of making additional purchases. We should
Judge the hard times did not affect their business
much, judging from the crowds which were con-
stantly entering their establishment during our
seiourn We would recommend our merchants 10
give them aeali. They will find everything they
want, and at the lowest prices.
