The SyinOna County Senatorial Com
test.

The Press cnpies out of the Chicago
Tribune the following extract from an
article reviewing the late election in this
State:
The only event calculated to mar the grand
result in Minnesota is the election of D s.
Norton, Copperhead Senator. in Winona
county; n man who, having formerly acted
with the Republican party. was enabled to
draw off a sufficient number of Union votes
to elect himself by an insignificant major
ity. 1t is the last time he will be enabled to
thus stink into Office through the back door.
The fact that the above is the only por-
tion of the I''ibune's article reproduced,
shows the anin,us with which the publica-
ton is made. 1t is to break down Mr..
NORTON; to throw him not only outside
the pale of the Republican party ranks,
but outside, also, the ranks of the Union
men Of the State.
We have placed wrong estimate on
Mr.. NoRToN's sentiments and character,
if this thing ought to or can be done. Mr..
NORTON is loyal man; no public or pri-
vate citizen of the State is so moro devo-
teddy. He is an able man; one of the
strongest and best cultured connected
with our politics. Such man cannot be
put down on false pretences; while his
abilities will enforce recognition and
respect.
The canvass in Winona county was not,
even in form, partizan. Neither of the
candidates for Senator was put forth by
party convention. The nominee of the
convention which called itself Union, was
Breckenridge Democrat, and an ultra
one; whose change of opinion was so
recent as to leave him open to the suspi-
cion that it was made for the purpose of
securing the nomination given him. Mr..
NORTON was not nominated by any conven-
ton, but ran independently. And, in
doing so, under such circumstances, he is
not justly liable to the charge of having
disregarded his party duty, nor to the
graver charge of having changed his poll
teal sentiments, and become copper
head.
The truth is, that the contest in Winona
county, was not contest between the
two candidates, bat between Mr.. MORTON
and Mr.. WINDOW. These gentlemen have
been at swords points for years back; and
the people of that city and county have
consciously or unconsciously taken sides
between them. Republicans and Demo-
Gratis supported each at the late election !;
and. we presume, if the vote should be an
alyzed. it would be found that there was
no material difference in this respect be-
tween them. In Winona, this was GER

ILLINOIS.

Returns from sixty-two counties in Hi
nois, show Union majority of 21,78S,
and Union gain of 29,37O. The Union
majority in the State will not fall below
10000.
The returns show that the Union ma
jority in this State will range from 10000
to 10000 On the home vote It is ex
pected that the soldiers vote will increase
this majority to $4,000.
MASSACHUSETTS.
The Union majority in Massachusetts
will reach $4,000. The aggregate vote is
about $4,000 less than last year, and of
this, the Democrats lose $4,000. The
Senate is unanimously Union. The House
stands 217 Unionists to 16 Copperheads.
MARYLAND.
The issue in this State was upon imme-
date emancipation and the Union ticket
representing this sentiment, received ma
jorities aggresating some $4,000. Union
candidates for Congress are elected in all
the districts, except the Fifth, in which a
Copperhead was successful through the
running of third candidate.

The Half Million S~yindle, aud why
1t is One.

The whole object of the attempt to in
duce the City of st. Paul to give a loan of
its credit to the Lake Superior. and Mssis-
sippi Railroad Company is simply this:
The managers of this Company have, after
several years effort, utterly failed to &C
complish anything, oven to the extent of
inducing reliable capitalists to consider
their project. Meantime, in organizing
their company, and in making survey,
which attempts the impossibility of run
ming an air line with right angle in it,
the managers incurred sundry expenses,
amounting, as they say, to from six to ten
thousand dollars. This amount is out of
the pockets of these managers, and in
this road. These managers naturally want
to get this money back again out of the
road and into their pockets; with as much
more, of course, as they can.
This Company was first organized in
1857. Their charter was amended in 1861,
and grant of swamp lands given by the
State. The Company, with this induce
ment to offer, endeavored to get capital
lists to take hold of the road. They failed
In 1868, the Company got their charter
extended, and made another effort to in
terest capitalists. They failed again. The
prospect of getting their six to ten thou
sand dollars back again, began to grow
exceeding y dubious. 1t would probably
never have grown any brighter, had not
Mr. BANNING been induced to aid them
with his financial counsel This applica-
ton for Half Million from St. Paul, is
the result of such counsel. And the object
of obtaining such pledge from the City,
is, to enable the managers of this COM
pany to sell out their charter, with it's
contingencies of a swamp land grant, and
the st. Paul bonus of Five Hundred Thou
sand Dollars, for whatever sum over the
six Or ten thousand dollars sunk, that
they can get offered. That is all there is
of it, 1t is not to enable these men to
bnild a railroad from st. Paul to Superior,
but to make a speculation in the sale
Of their charter They think there is
from fifty to hundred thousand dollars in
the operation. And, to give them a chance
to make that sum, or something less, they
are seeking to induce st. Paul to promise
an extent of Indebtedness which would ruin
its credit, and cripple the City for quar-
ter of century to come
That is the scheme We Genounce it to
the people as swindle. Is it not a swim
die, and of the most barefaced kind?

Under this caption, the Adiutant-G General and
the Quartefmastsr-G General Of Ohio, announce
series Of meetings which they are now hold
ing throughout the State. These meetings are
ostensibly called to promote objects which are
commended and sustained BY all good citizens
of the Commonwealth. But it is to be regret
ted, and deeply regretted, that they are being
perverted, in nearly every instance, from ap
proved sobjects into mere partisan gatherings.
We are unable to Say whether or no Gen. HILL
and Gen. WMaHr are ln any degree responsible
for this. We have not heard that they indulge
In the smusement of denouncing aud stigmatiz-
ing Democrats 90 "traitors," "rebel-sympathi-
GER" "Butternuts," J" aCopperheads,' etc, etc.,
on these occasions; but If the reports that We
receive are true, and we have no reason to doubt
them, there are speakers on hand at nearly or
quite sll the meetings who are detailed to do
this dirty work. one-horse politicians of the
Abolition persuasion always volunteer to be
present, and are allowed to do the blowing and
striking in behalf of the bogus "Union part"

people are told BY them, that "Butternuts" and
s'Copperheads" (mesning Democrats) must be
"crushed out" and that they are anxious to
help do It. Their utterances are full Of bitter
mess, wrath, and invectlve, and are well cslcu.

"A Very Amusing Scene.

We have heard Of o very amusing scene that
occurred among the State House occupants of
the I" Union " or Abolition persuasion few
days ago, the chief sctors in which were his
Excellency, his Private Secretary and the Treas
urer Of State. Some attache or visitor had sta
ted to them that the Democrats were going to
nominate General McCLELLAN for Governor of
Ohio, at the llth of June Convention; and the
mere statement staggered the whole patty
"Run General MCCLELLAN" quoth the Cover
nor" the hi they are-he is not eligible
He 10 an officer In the United States service,
and the Constitution of Ohio does not allow q
man to hold State and Federal Office at the
same time" "And In addition to that" said
the Treasurer, "he 10 not citizen OF Ohio :
He Is doubly ineligible" To these petitions
the Secretary (who is the lawyer of the con-
cern) sssented, and the little knot seemed to
breathe much easier than they had for the pre-
ceding twenty minutes!
His gratifying to know that something has
occurred to admonish or remind these gentle
men that there is still Constitution in exist
ence---an instrument which they all, on enter
ing on the discharge Of their duties, took a SOL
emn oath to support. The fact that they have
heretofore ignored that instrument has, how
ever, very much confused them as to its zeal
meaning. There ia nothing in the Ccnstitu-
