How DOUGLAS, IN HARPER, WAS Re-
CEIvED AT WAsHINGToN.-A correspondent
of the st. Louis Republican, writing from
Washington, the 9th inst, says:
The Territorial paper of Senator
Douglas, which, as you justly say, stamps
him profound lawyer and able expounder
of the Constitution, still continues to elicit
much comment in political circles here, and
even President Buchanan did the distin-
guished author the justice to say the argu-
ment was able and the paper every way
worthy of an American statesman. So
great was the demand here for the number
of Harper containing Judge Douglas paper,
that many could not procure copy for love
nor money. Mr.. Buchanan was walking
on the avenue with Secretary Cobb, and
perceiving his companion had copy of the
magazine in his hand, Mr.. Buchanan asked
to see it lone moment. The clutching it
tightly in his grasp, he said ;" I will keep
this one, Mr.. Cobb you will please get
yourself another copy" This incident will
give some idea Of the demand, in our COM
munity, for copies of the douglas Mani
festO,"

VIM. l.. Banning Considered as a Saint.

To the Editors Of the Pioneer and Democrat.
In two letters published in the MinneSo-
tan, by w. l.. BANNING to Hon. GEORGE
L. BECKER, the writer has much to say
about honesty, and, among other things, he
offers to furnish Mr.. BECKER with copies
"of the corruption drafts and notes that
bought the members of our Legislature,
the places of the resigning Directors,
and gave our splendid Land Grant to the
Forty Thieves of Wisconsin and their
confederates in Minnesota
Now, will Mr.. BANNING tell the public
how he happens to have these papers? Did
he receive part of the brides? And has
he peached on his confederates because they
have not given him his full share of the
plumber? Or, is he threatening to peach,
to eXtort more of them? If, on the con-
trary, his hands are clean, and he is honest,
and he must be, because he says so him
self-why does he not, like man, and a
friend to the best interests of the State" as
he claims to be, go before the proper author.
ity and have the corruptionists arrested,
convicted, and punished? He has the evil
dence, of course, for he says so himself, and
repeats it daily. Is it not, then, his duty to
bring it to light? He says, too, that the
honest, Woodworking people have, by these
means, been deliberately swindled by mer
who were elected to high offices to protect
their interests.
o, sanity BANNING! how can you, who
are so pure, possibly live in such bad at,
mosphere without an honest effort to purify
it? Do make the effort, BANNING. You
love the people, you know you do? Don't
wait for Gov. RAMSEY to save them; you
cannot rely upon him, for he was, during al
these corrupt, wicked and thieving times, q
Director in full fellowship of one of thu
most rascally of all these railroad eompa.

The Telegraph to Cuba.

The long-talked Of project Of estab
fishing Geographic communication be-
tween the United States and Cuba, is>
We are informed, about to be carried
INTO effect e. c. Walden, Esq, late
Deputy Collector at New York, Super
lntendent in this country of the Cuba
Telegraph Company has received in
structlons from Havana to commence
the construction Of the route between
Savannah and Fernandina, and Messrs.
Mora Brothers & Favaro have placed
the necessary funds at his disposal
With regard to the submarine por-
ton of the line the Company's Agent
writes that the petition Of the Company
for concession of the privilege has been
received by the Spanish Ministry and
that there is every reason to hope that
it will be granted. The Captain Gen
eral of Cuba has endorsed the petition
most strongly, and it is confidently ex-
pected that his influence will be sufi-
clent to secure the grant to the Mora
Company, i'll preference to all other APP
plicants.
Advices from Madrid do not, how
ever, strengthen this belief. a note
dated Madrid, Oct. 3lst, says that
there are no less than seven applica-
tons to that government for the con-
struction of submarine cable between
Cuba and the United States, and that
it was probable the government would
decide in a short time to offer the whole
project at auction, and sell to the high
est bidder, "the privilege of landing
submarine cable on the Island Of Cuba
for twenty-five years"
