CENTRAL AMERICAN CANE SuGAR-We
saw the other day a very good quality of su
gar produced from the South American cane,
on the plantation of ALEX. RoTB, Esq, which
was brought to and distributed throughout
the sugar region of our State BY order of Go.
Vernment The cane is very large and the
sacchsrine matter very sweet, yet Mr.. RorH,
from its not being adapted to our climate per
haps, does not speak favorably of its merits.

of his bogus tickets were polled, but we
judge the voters he and his friends antici-

The election officers of the various wards,
both Republicans and Democrats, unite in
asserting in the most emphatic terms, that
no such ballots as those so infinitely described
and enumerated, in Mr.. GMFnLAN's pro-
test, were cast in the city.
Some of Mr.. GILFnLAN's friends assert
that be had nothing to do with the printing
of the fraudulent tickets. This may be true
or false; but does not the fact that he shows
a willingness to take advantage of the

Victory In Milwaukee.

At the election in Milwaukee, on Tues
day last, Hon. WV. PITT LYNDE, for Mayor,
and his associates on the Democratic City
ticket, were elected by majorities ranging
from 1000 to 1000. The Republicans ran
strong man against Mr.. LYNDE, and were
confident of success.
On the same day the election took place
in Wisconsin, for Chief Justice of the Su>
preme Court. The present Chief Justice,
DIXON, ran as an Independent candidate,
receiving the support of the Democracy.
The Republicans nominated A. Soorr
SLOAN, who pledged himself, in his judicial
Office, to nullify and disregard the fugitive
slave law. The returns Indicate the election
of DIXON, who is a conservative man. In
Milwaukee county, his majority is nearly
1000.

Governor by very small majority. A

down the Republican majority at 53l; but

ty!" The Republicans have carried the
Legislature-the House standing 142 Re-
publicans to 80 Democrats, and the Senate
ID Republicans to Democrats, and one
district doubtful.
In Middletown, SEYMOUR had 200 major
ity, in Hartford $40, in New Haven 695,
in Bridgeport 81, in Waterbury 135. He
made gains in every portion Of the State,
but not sufficient to overcome the Republi-
can majority. We can heartily congratu-
late the Democracy of Connecticut, not
withstanding their defeat, upon the gallant
struggle they made to redeem the State,
and the large gains secured for their noble
leader in the campaign.

Some weeks since, the st. Anthony News,
orthodox Republican, charged that you, the
editors of the consolidated, who claim to be
SO virtuous, SO disinterested, so pure Of heart,
and all that sort Of thing--that you, Messrs.
Editors, had attempted to bride q member
Of the last Senate, by offering to him as an
inducement for his vote for State Printer,
that you, you, the editors of the Minnesotian,
would secure the reconsideration of certain
defeated Railroad bill, which the Senator
aforesaid, had great desire to become q
law. You thus manifested willingness to
bride Senator to vote for you for State
Printer, by bribing other legislators. You
proposed embarking in the wholesale trade,
at once.
This charge, made by so respectable au-
thority as the st. Anthony Nescs, you de-
nounced with virtuous Indignation, posi-
lively thrill ling, as an outrageous falsehood,
manufactured out of whole cloth, and called
for the proof. You did; you know you did,
THOMAS and TIMOTHY.
Well, the st. Anthony Nevs responded a
week ago, gave the name of the Senator
you approached, and circumstantial details
demonstrating the truth Of its charge.
Since which time, the Minnesotian and
Times has not been heard from. We may,
therefore, conclade the charge in the Nescs
is true. So, then, THOMAS and TIMOTHY,
you are not quite so honest, after all, as you
have pretended to be. Your purity is not
above suspicion. Even "the Forty" could
afford to take few lessons from you. But
how terribly bad Brother BANNING will feel
when his virtue is shocked by this news
Alb, THOMAS and TIMOTHY, you should have
thought of that.

A Significant sign.

On Monday the Goth, Mr.. BLAKE, black
Republican Representative Of Ohio, intro
duced into the House the following pream.
BILE and resolution:
"WHEREAs, The chatteling of mankind and
tne holding OF persons as property is contrary
pies of our political system, and is VIGOROUSLY
q reproach to our country throughout the civil.
lied world, and q serious hindrance to the pro.
gress Of liberty throughout the nations of the
earth; therefore,
'.REsoLvED, That the Committee on Judicia.
~ De, and the same are hereby, instructed to
inquire into the expediency Of reporting q bill
giving freedom to every human being and in
terdicting slavery wherever Congress has the
constitutional power to legislate upon the sub.
ject."
Though the resolution is not very definite
in terms, it was understood in the House as
designed to reach slavery in the States where
it exist by law. Under this understanding
it received the votes of si1ty black Repub
lican members, or more than one half of the
whole Republican force.
A more significant sign of the aggressive
character of black Republicanism has not
appeared since the widespread sympathy
which was exhibited throughout the North
for old BROWN in the misfortune that befel
him at Harper's Ferry.
Among those who voted for the adoption
of the resolution were Messrs. ALDRIcH and
WINDOW of this State.

Telegraph Line to the Pacific.

We are in fair way of having a Tele-
graph line to California. The Senate has
passed bill for this purpose, and there is
every probability that it will pass the House,
at all events, we hope it will.
The bill is in the shape of contract be-
tween the Telegraphic Confederation of the
Atlantic States and the California Tele-
graph Company, of the first part, and the
Government of the United States, of the
second part. The Telegraph Companies
agree to build the line from the Missouri
river, connecting it with the eastern lines
already built, to San Francisco on the Pa
cifc, via Pixies Peak and the South Pass
in two years from the 3lst of July next, the
Government agreeing to pay over to the
Companies the sum of $4,000 every year
for ten years, and have the privilege Of using
the wires for Government business, free
The Companies to have the right of way
through all the Territories, paying Govern
ment for the land for their Stations.
The distance of the line will be about
1000 miles, and the expense of its con-
struction, complete, will probably approx.
mate million of dollars.
If this bill passes the House, then, we
shall have telegraphic communication with
California in two years from the approaching
summer, and the line to Pixies Peak will no
doubt be at once built and completed to
Denver City as early as next Autumn.

contemplate as his friends would make him
appear, nor that we are SO powerful and
dangerous, as to be at once able and dis
posed to knock the Senate of the United

desire it to, and that the thirty thousand
dollars will yet be realized, according to the
original programme.

armed boats to attack him. He attempted
to escape, when two shots were fired at him,
which he returned. He then recognized the
Saratoga, and ordered the firing to cease,
Notwithstanding which the attack was con-
tinued, with the known results. He says he
