arrogant style in which the Winslow Line
offered to give us the news.
The offer was rightly regarded as an at
tempt at imposition, which should not be
yielded TO. Had the Operator, Mr.. GaLLvp,
said, |" Gentlemen, ! win have to be up
after office hours perhaps all night 1t is
customary to make up ! reasonable COM
pensation," &c.--there would have been no
hesitation in doing the generous thing by
him.
But the tone and spiri. Of his demand
was not deemed that which should be
yielded to tamely; and the result was that
the high-sterned Mr.. GALLUP closed his
office at 9 o'clock and steadily declined
to furnish the press or people with news
that night or yesterday, Except private
dispatch or two. well paid for, touching
the result Of the Presidential election.
Now, perhaps this is the way to win,
and then again perhaps it isn't. Certain
it is, that Infamous was the mildest
term yesterday applied on The streets to
both Line and Operator, by men Of all par
ties. And the question was frequently
asked, Is there no way of preventing or
redressing such an abuse of great public
convenience " Some suggested to build
another Line, along side Of the "Win-SLow
Line; !" but at all events, at the next ses
sion Of the Legislature, to so alter the laws
protecting the Telegraph Lines, that said
protection shall depend upon their submit
ting to certain public regulations, as do
ferries and Railroad Companies, which shall
compel them to be decent and honest toward
individuals and the community.
For our part, we are in for this last sug
saggestion--it is eminently practicsl, and
covers the case--and the next overwhelm
ingly Republican Legislature is just thu
very body to apply this rod to telegraphi'
insolence and over presuming ava~ice.
In the meantime, word in Mr.. Operator
GALLuP's ear: this community is like
Jordan, hard road to travel, in the style
you are attempting to ride over it, as yor
win find !; and the sooner you make tracks
Tor other parts, the better for yourself ant
employers.

The Pioneer Of yesterday endeayors to
make point against Mr., AcKER, that
though the Convention which nominated
him urged the people by resolution to vote
for the amendment to the Constitution re-
.quiring any tax law paying principal or
interest on the Bonds, to be first submit
Ted to the people for their sanction before
being valid; yet that Mr.. AcxRR when, in
the Legislature last winter, was violent
of the submission Of this Amend.
ment to the people. The Pioneer says:
Gas member Of the House, Mr.. Acker
voted against its submission to the people,
.tsee House Jeurnal), and we understand
is now opposed to its adoption as part Of
the Constitution. In other words, he is in
aayor of the Legislature reserving to itself
the power of taxation, to pay the State
Railroad Bond"
The Pioneer further says that Mr.. AcK-
Err now repudiates the Platform of the
Convention, and it desires the MINNEsorIAN
to give it light.
A very few words will settle our neigh
boris hash on this head.
In the first place, it is not true that Mr..
AcKER repudiates the Platform he stands
firmly and unreservedly upon it. He
sustans, as we understand and believe. the
policy Of Mr.. BANNING of death to the
Bonds until the cars are ON the Roads, y
and if elected will be found there all the
time.
In the next place, we deny that Mr..
AcKER voted against the submission OF the
Anti Tax Amendment to the people; nor
is it true that the Journals show any such
thing. Mr.. AcKER, if our recollection
serves us Alright, both spoke for and voted
for that Amendment. Won't the "organ''
try again.

A SIcKLEs AFFAIR IN IowA-The Quincy
Herald says:-We are informed that on the
evening of the Sd inst, Orndorf a commission
merchant at Warsaw, having some suspicion
that all was not right with his wife. noticed
her through the window reading some letters,
which she deposited in a drawer on his coming
in. He pretended not to notice it. but after
they had retired made some excuse for getting
up, and read the letters They proved to be
from one Robert Sterling, a clerk till lately,
In the store of johnson Hunt His worst
suspicious were confirmed. In the letter he
professed that he was the father of one of her
children, and urged her to elope with him.
Orndof, taking his pistol, passed down to a
saloon where he knew Sterling was apt to
spend his evenings to late hour.
AS he approached Sterling, who sat playing
dominOes, Sterling turned to see who was
coming, when Orndorff shot him in the mouth.
the ball passing out through bis neck, and
cutting his tongue nearly out. Sterling rose
to escape, when Orndof shot him again,
msSing only flesh wound in his side, and
again shooting, making only slight wound on
the hip. Sterling started to 90 out, when a
fourth shot was fred which missed; Sterling
gained the street, and was chased by Orndorff
nearly round the square, when Sterling went
up stairs and locked the door, which his pur-
suer began to kick down, declaring he would
Kill him. Some friends arrived and told him
Sterling was dead but this did not avail. az
Orndorf said he knew better He was, how
ever, taken away and arrested But he has
the letters in his possession, and says he is
sorry that he has got to do the tragical work
over again.

CURIOUS News FROM HAYTI-The following
intelligence concerning contemplated move1
ments of the ex- Emperor SOulOuque is curious
and lnteresting:-The Rerue de Commerce.
OF June 30, contains a statement to the effect
that the ex-EmperOr SoulOuque, in his exile at
Kingston, Jamaica, has become 80 excited by
the news of the triumphal tour of President
Gefrard, that he is endeavoring to get feet
together, so as to reduce Hayti again to his
sway. Vii Lubin and Addison, Soulouque's 3
prime ministers, charged with the execution of
the project, had already obtained a schooner
but were unable to do anything further The
ex-Emperor was visited by a fortune-teller,
who promised him that if he would give large
tribute TO two fetish idols he would certainly
be enabled to reenter Port-au- Prince before
the end of July. Actuated by these promises,
Soulouque is openly organizing his band, and
makes an appeal to his old dukes and barons,
to gather under his banners and aid in the re-
taking of the dominions, which, he says, have
been stolen from him. Corchi one of Sou
louque's friends, says he has partisans in
Hayti, mentioning a certain Col. Joskin The
day for the departure Of Soulouque is already
fixed, and il is his intention to enter Port -au-
Prince before President Geffrard returns from
his northern tour. II is expected that Sou
louque will publish. before his arrival at Hayti,
a proclamation Offering a general amnesty
The friends Of the republican government do
not apprehend any danger from the attempts
but still think it well to be on their guard
One editor says: "The danger is not great. be-
cause Soulouque and Vii Lubin will be stoned
to death by the women and children on land
ing; but measures should be taken that other
bloodshed may be avoided"
