Mr.. JEFFERSON DAvIs.-The Hampton
! correspondent of the Baltimore Gazette, under
date of 2lst, writes
I Fortress Monroe is garrisoned by some com
panies of the 5th artillery. Gen. Miles, of the
volunteers, is, however, still ia command OF the
post No one is allowed to enter the fort with
out pass, and this order will be continued as
long as Mr. Davis is confined there. Mr. Davis,
since his imprisonment has :wice had his hair
cut On the first occasion Gen. Miles took
possession of the hair which was shorn. On the
second occasion Mr. Davis carried off his hair to
his quarters, but soon an orderly came dashing
up from the General and demanded the hair,
but Mr. Davis had already destroyed it.
The late Confederate President is allowed to
| walk upon the ranlparts' Recently large
number of ladies, friends of Gen. Miles, posted
themselves in such way that Mr. Davis would
have to pass them. Ar Davis, seeing their OBJ
| ject, turned back towards his quarters. The
| ladies were not to be thus deprived OF a close
| inspection, so they followed after him at good
| pace, whereupon Mr. Davis seated himself aud
| lit a cigar, the odor of which must have been
offensive to their delicate senses, for General
Miles sent word next day that Mr. Davis was
not to be allowed any more cigars. Such are
the annoyances to which he is daily subjected.

Edward Ketchunn.

q The Eoening Post makes the following
considerable observations upon EDWARD
KETeHUMis plea of guilty, in correction of
some statements which have been made
concerning person whose contrition for
his crimes we believe to be as sincere as
bis submission to the just penalty of the
law: toE -.Ff.e g. - y,
This young man has pleaded guilty to
the charges on which he was arrested. He
has done so, we are informed, entirely of
his own motion, without the suggestions of
counsel or of friends. He frankly con-
fesses the crimes he has committed, which
have filed him with contrition and sorrow,
and he is willing to bear the penalties to
which they have exposed him. He has
never affected stoical indifference in re-
gard to them, as some of the newspapers
have represented, but in all his interviews
with his relatives and others has shown the
utmost penitence and tenderness of con-
science. Educated in good principles, and
having always led an upright and virtuous
life, he allowed himself in q moment of
faulty to be tempted from the path of
duty, and now he does not wish to conceal
from himself the consequences. He doubt
less feels them q thousand times more
keenly than he would if he had been habit
uated to vice and indulgence.

The New York Commercial says: "Ru.
mors are still freely circulated respecting
arrangements between the Atlantic and
Great Western and other roads, but with
out any real foundations. We have reason
for asserting that the English capitalists in
the interest of the Atlantic and Great
Western have sailed without having made
any definite arrangements respecting sea-
board connections with their line. The
interviews with the Erie Company, sought
by the Atlantic and Great Western dele
gates, have done nothing more than to
make known to parties mutually interested
their respective views, but which may here
after issue in more definite proposals. The
propositions made to the Erie Company
are not such as could be accepted, but it
is possible notifications may hereafter be
made that would result in the connection
of the two roads, either in the way of
amalgamation or of running arrangement
between separate organizations. ="

! Before the election Ramsey County
was supposed to be in terribly mixed
condition, but the table of returns pub
lished herewith dispels the illusion. There
is not but a very slight mixture about l..
Even the Fifth Ward is not mixed. It
used to be the banner ward of the city, and
is still, but the banner has changed hands.
Our Democratic friends are as much as
tonished as any one, but they bear their
astonis hment with such Christian resigna-
ton as to deserve praise. 1t is an Attic
tive dispensation which they seem to en-
joy, probably more than some other peo-
pie do. .si s1a- ,fassa Il
VIM. BRANCH, Esq, is elected to the
Legislature from the First District bytwen
ty two majority, but further remarks rela-
tive to the election of Union candidates,
we would prefer to be excused from maxi
ing. They are not down in our list.
As far as heard from the vote on the
constitutional amendment stands, 800 for
and 1868 against. Majority against negro
suffrage, 673.
The total vote of the city was 2,24S,
of which Mr.. RICE received 1891, and
Gen. MARSHALL S57, making Rlcrs ma
iority in the city 594. In the county the
total vote was 2,619, RICE receiving l., 61S,
and MARSHALL 1,0O1, making RIcEs ma
iority in the county GIT.
Last fall 2,6S1 votes were cast in the
county, McO1zILAN receiving 1,42l, and
LINCOLN 1,260-NcCLELLAN's majority be-
ing ISL. If q mixed" condition of af-
fairs results in the Democracy going four
hundred better, we would prefer to take
the County straight.

OUR PLATFORM.

The undersigned having purchased the
entire printing establishment connected
with this paper, the st. Paul PIONEER will
hereafter be published as an INDEPEND-
ENT Union journal. Believing in exact
justice to all men, we shall fearlessly up
hold what we think to be right, and as
fearlessly oppose what We believe to be
wrong. We shall endeavor, so far as is
within our power, to prevent the fruits of
our long and bloody civil war being fritz
tered away by unwise legislation, and all
measures tending to this end will receive
our earnest support.
It is best that it should be understood
in the outset, that the PIoNEER, under its
new management, is not and riA not be
the organ of any politician or clique. No
politician owns or controls, in any way, q
single dollar in this establishment, and no
politician was consulted in reference to,
or in any manner advised Of, the proposed
transfer, until it had become fixed fact.
We shall aim to advance the interests of
the people. abiding by principles, and
leaving men to care for themselves.

the Wings or Republicans have had eight Gov
ernors Of New York. and the Democrats three,
namely: Bouck, Wright and Seymour, who,
together. held the Office for period of eight
wears. Their opponents have elected Seward,
Young, Fish, Hunt, Clark, King, Morgan and
Fenton, for period of twenty years.

To the Patrons OF the Pioneer.

The custom is of questionable propriety,
which imposes upon an Editor the egotism
Of q sslutstory and valedictory on his en-
tsring upon, and retiring Aom, newspaper
life. But, though nose honored in the
bresch than in the Observance, it is the
habit; and there's sometimes, less van
ity exhibited in complying with even an
egotistical custom, than in the noticeable
singularity attending its violation
By the statement elsewhere printed, 1t
will be seen that, after an editorial service
of nearly twelve years upon THE flosEsR;
the undersigned has passed its edltor1a'
management over to other hands. That
period has probably been as eVentful as
.say. of oeousl length, which will hereafter
sransnire in the history Of Minnesota. 1t
comprises the growth and development OF
evidences Territory into the proportions
of q prosperous State; and has been
marked by its full share Of the political
and personal changes and vicissitudes
which chsracterize the earlier years of
all new countries. If, during this pc.
Rod of stir and growth, the writer
hereof has not been able to impress himself
favorably upon the regards of the people
Of the State, itis too late to do so now;
while apologies for his failure would be
both weak and impertinent. He is con-
tent, therefore, insomuoh as he must be,
to enjoy whatever repute the public may
have accorded to hiHa, whether that be
good, Indifferent, or bad.
But, while tndisposed to speak much Of
himself the undersigned would do violence
'to'his sense Of justice, were he to omit
mention Of G V2tned friend and associate,
to whomNae public, as well as himself is
indebted. For, the faithful, conscientious
) newspaper man Is q creditor of the public
beyond all he receives IN salary q
praise. Such q man is LOUIS E. FISHER,
to whose intelligent. pains taking Ia
bors the readers Of TIE PIONEER are
much more indebted, for whatever pleas
ure or advantage they msy have derived
from its columns, than to the pen which
pays this too slight tribute to his worth.
It liz due, also, that. mention should be
made Of Messrs. ALEX. JOHNSTON and
FLETCHER WILLIAMS, who, IN editorial and
other labors, have rendered valusble serv-
ices to the paper, and who are well fitted
to occupy higher positions than they have
filed in TIE PIoNRBR.
On behalf of his brothers, Messrs. A. j.
GoopRloH and F. L. GOODRICH, as well as
on his own, the undersigned would express
to the citizens Of st. Paul, and Of the
whole State, the thanks which are due
{ them for the patronage which has been so
steadily and so generously bestowed, for
80 long series Of years, and the hope
that it may be confined to the new pro
prietors Of TIE PIONEER.
And 90, not without regrets at breaking
away from the charmed precincts of the
newsp paper office, with the kindest feelings
towards his brethren of the Press, and
with good win towards all good men, the
writer hereof drops his pen, and joins him
self to the great multitude Of newspaper
readers. Flaft 80
