We copy the above from the Pioneer d

Wing, where the last infamous Ottertail Can
vass was manufactured. At the points where
there are settlements, as at Alexandra, Breck
,nridge, Lafayette, Georgetown, ETC., but few
votes are reported as cast; and no doubt they
re nearly correct but at the points where
there are no people, except breeched Indians,
such as at Leech and Red Lakes, more votes
ire returned than in all the other eleven pre-
.incts From Leech and Red Lakes III
votes are reported cast, though it is notorious
there are not to exceed dozen legal voters in
Ill that region! Notice the scoundrels, how
they lay an anchor to windward, by the false
allegation, that there are ''thirty- three pre-
cncts in the Twenty-second District" OF
which only thirteen are heard from! St.
Vincent is the only one not in the above list.
md it is bogus, and no votes were poled a,
it, But the rascals wanted to keep a margin
for forgeries in case it was necessary. l.
there no way to punish these Democratic

unanimously adopted:

and Governor of our State, in their official
"apacity have attempted to render our cur

al Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.
For the last few days, the Baltimore election
has absorbed much of the attention of people
in this city. The vote has been taken, but
excitement, both here and there, has hardly
abated.
The funeral Of young Kyle to-day, at Bal
timore, learn, was attended by an immense
eoncourse of the best citizens, who declined
to ride carriages, but preferred to walk to the
grave, as showing greater respect. In socie-
ty, the leading men of the American party
are everywhere being cut by their friends
Great bitterness offecling exists, and the con-
test is no longer political, but social The
Legislature being Democratic in both branch
es. there being IL Democratic and Ameri
can Senators, and AZ Democratic to 27 Am
erican Delegates, steps will be taken to have
it Immediately convened, in order to pass
some measures for relieving the city Of its
present deplorable condition.
What particular form of relief will be adj
opted is not known, but it is supposed the
city will virtually be depr. we'd Of it's charter,
and Commissioners appointed who will noni-
nate policemen, and take the power out Of the
hands OF the Mayor in imitation of the action
OF the New York Legislature.
I understand the leading Americans threa-
ten resistance in such case, but greatly
doubt it, as it will be impossible for them to
mold out against the power of the State.
Some seventy-five rutiians from this city
went up to Baltimore on election day and
took part in the disturbances. They would
have been arrested on their arrival here, but
escaped from the cars near Blandensburg, and
footed it into the city. Things here are ex-

Cave Of Bishop On serdonk.

We are authorized to state, says the New
York Times, that memorials to the House o'
Bishops are being signed by the .Laity of both
parties in the Episcopal Church.; that waiv-
ing all other questions connected with the sus-
pension and restoration of Bishop Benjamin
T. Onderdonk, the members of the Protestan.
Episcopal Church Ill the Diocese Of New York
deeply feel that the position of the suspended
Bishop is such in this community, and tha'
his persistence for so many years in denying
the Justice Of this sentence, has so shaken the
confidence of many members of the Church,
that under no circumstances can he Resume
any jurisdiction in this Diocese, or exercise
any of the Episcopal functions, to the harmony
and edification of the Church, or the glory
of Christ, but that, on the contrary, such re-
sumption would lead to great and manifold
evils, not confined to this Diocese, but .ex-
tending to the whole Church.
They, therefore, pray the House of Bishops
that the sentence of suspension be not re.
moved, until Bishop Onderdonk shall have re-
signed his jurisdiction of the Diocese of New
York.

He said: "Nor are the agents of
this miraculous period of human privilege less
remarkable than the theatre of the exploits or

and La Salle-devotion no more martyrs than
the Jesuits, who carried the word of peace to

Mr.. Philip Schaffer, in the town Paris,
Grant county, Wisconsin had q remarkable
adventure the other day. He chased bear
that was committing depredatiens in that VIZ
cinity, and overtaking the ''anamile," jump
ed a-straddle Of him, and after being thus car
rieI for some distance, Schatfer vainly at
tempting to overpower Bruin with q knife, the
beast climbed tree, Schaffer still clinging to
his back. The bear, however, rubbed" him
off by going through the fork Of the tree, and
fastening down, Shaffer ran for his gun and
shot the bear, killing him. This is hard story,
but is vouched for by the Postmaster at Dick
eyville, who details the facts to the editor Of
the Galena Adoertiser. Mr.. Skaters expe-
rience at riding bear back, qualities him for a
prominent place among our modern turfsmen.

Naught remains, says the Chicago Press d
Tribune, but the Charlestown Judge to pass
three days sentence on John Brown, and ior
the Sheriff to hang him in pursuance thereof
unless indeed, as is intimated, Governor
Wise should so strain the executive clemen-
cy as to add thirty days to his confine-
ment in prison and subtract it from his life
beyond the grave. The jury have brought
in verdict of guilty on an uncertain num-
ber of counts, in which they convict him oi
some impossible crimes, which are adverted
ed to with great clearness by Browns coun
sci. The precise offences of which he is con-
victed seem to be treason against Virgins
committed in Maryland, and the murder of on'
man in two different places, or something
equivalent to that.

aid, into so much consequence, and publish
ing it with the display and in the style it
does, leaves but one inference to be drawn, that
it is the intention of the leading State organ,
and of the Chairman of the State Committee,
to stab and destroy the influence of the Dem
ocratic Senator of Minnesota, both in this
State and at Washington. No more effectual
mode of doing so in both localities could be
devised, than to thus give countenance, from
an official Democratic source, to the insinua-
ton, that Mr.. Rice played false to his party
at the recent election; and that it was thro
his countenance or designed neglect, the Ad-
ministratiOn lost the votes of two Democratic
mem 'ers of the next Congress, and the par

Probable Triumph OF Anli.Slavery in
tue state Of New York.

From all appearances it is extremely prob
able that the Black Republican ticket will he
elected in the State of New York. The excite
ment produced by the Harper's Ferry affair,
and the trial of the conspira' ors is syste,nati-
cally increased and intensified. @ All the
great leaders of the revolutionary party
Wilson, Corwin, Beecher, Cheever and tn,
rest-are adding fuel to the flame of hostility
70 the South, add it is evident that their in
hanmatory appeals are taking hold ofthe pub
lie mind. Emboldened by impunity, and
flushed with the hope of political success, they
give free utterance to their treason, and do
not mince the matter For this, their senti-
ments are the more acceptable, and make the
deeper impression. With the aid of this ex-
element there is every prospect, therefore,
that the revolutionary element will be tri-
umphant in our State election.
The Democratic party is SO demoralized- -
all the leaders being jobbers and intriguers,
who care nothing for the country, unless so
far as it affords them plunder and spoils--nO
etfectual resistance can be offered from that
quarter. The revolutionists are thus conf
dent Of an easy victory, and are already cal
culating their majoaity.-N. Y. HeraH.

The San Juan Island Affair.
Special Dispatch to the New York Tribune.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.
There is nothing in the correspondence be-
tween our government and England to justify
the least apprehension of any rupture result
ing from the San Juan affair.
The Administration has disclaimed having
given Gen. Harney any instructions to take
exclusive or military possession of San Juan
Island; but, in case Of such step being Ia
ken, it is not disposed to recede from it !;
while it will be ready to continue negotions as
to the disputed boundary. Lord Russell's
letter is not offensive, and presents no demand
except to restore the joint occupation before
proceeding further. This is declined here !;
but the correspondence continues amicably,
and the conviction is fully entertained that
Scott's presence and investigation will remove
all points of embarrassment to the satisfaction
of both sides. The information here is con.
elusive that the importance Of the island as a
military position or otherwise, has been great
ly exaggerated. ....
