The Defeat Of the Negro Worshippers
iR Connecticut.

The Chicago Tribune gives the follow
ing terse announcement
1.-THE election in Connecticut yesterday re-
suited adversely to the negro suffrage amend
ment."
The Chicago Republican ignores it, of
course. 1t cannot state the truth. The
Detroit Adoertiser and Tribune prints the
dispatch under the head of "various
items, and editorially says:
I'VE had intended to lndite some consolatory
remarks upon the Connecticut election, but as
at present advised the least said would seem to
be soonest mended."
The Buffalo Express and the Cincinnati
Gazette apparently have not heard the
news. RAYMOND, of the Times, rejoices.
GREELEY sings of the Connecticut election
in mournful numbers:
The act makes the road before us to CON-
plete peace and the restoration of the Union
more difficult. That heretofore two Thousand
thousand were disfranchised in Connecticut,
though q very base wrong and signal out
rage, was q matter of comparatively small
practical importance. But that such an evil
example should be followed and sustained by
the moral influence of Connecticut in depriv-
Ing eight hundred thousand loyal men at the
South of the right is fact, the practical i'm
portance of which cannot yet be calculated.
The reasons which make the result dis
couraging to the Tribune, are the ones
which render it welcome and cheering 10
all who desire to see the strife between the
North and the South ended, and the Union
restored in fact as well as in name. Prac-
tically it was of little consequence whether
the few colored men in Connecticut were
allowed to vote or not but it was of i'm
portance that Connecticut should stand by
the conciliatory reconstruction policy Of
President JOHNSON, and that SUMNER &
Co.'s plans should be repudiated just
where they were born-on the soil of New
England.

Mr. Rice Compelled 10 FOreg
Some Of his Appointments.

Hon. HENRY II. EIoE has been COM
PEELED to forego some of the appointments
made for Joint discussions with General
MARSHALL, on account of business requir-
ing bis immediate return to this city. The
following courteous telegram to the Press
assigns the true reazo on for the interruption
of the Joint Canvass:
WINoNA, Oct. g, 1865
Ep1roRs Pass. Please announce that will
speak next week at Mortified Wednesday !;
Faribault Thursday, and Owatonna Friday.
Mr.. Rice Is recalled to 81. Paul on important
Railroad business. We both regret this neces-
sity, as the canvass thus far has been every way
WIN. r. MARSHALL.
As the Press saw 6t to comment upon
the above in most disparsging terms to Mr..
RICE, alleging that in the discussions he
was completely discounted by General
MARSHALL, and that the reason assigned
for his return was only pretense to "get
ont of bad scrape, we deem it necessa-
ry to show somewhat in detail the neces-
sity that existed for temporary Interrupt
ton Of the canvass.
The probability that Mr.. RICE might be
called home before all the appointments
were filled, was well known to General
MARSHALL before the canvass commenced.
Prominent representatives of English
capitalists are now here on business
connected with the construction of the
Winona branch of the Saint Paul and
Pacific Railroad, and the proposed extern
sion of the latter to British America, and
a. Hon. EDMUND RICE and Col. Crooks
are away, the presence Of Hon. HENRY NJ.
RIoE was indispensable. Interests of more
Importance to Minnesota than the result
of the political canvass, are at stake, and
Mr.. RICE is not the man to allow the pub
lie good to be prejudiced by personal con-
sideratiors.
Since the above was written We have
received the following note from JuDes
NELSON, which will convince the public
that the aspersions of the Press are en-
tirely groundless, and were prompted BY
ignorance or insane par,isanship:

Radicals and Rebels.

At the beginning Of the rebellion, Pres
ident JOHNSON, then speaking in the Uni
ted States Senate. classed the leading rad
icals of the North and the leading
rebels of the South together, and ex-
pressed the opinion that if both sets could
be banished to the Dry Tortugas or some
other safe place of exile, that their pun
ishment would be just,-that war would
be averted, and the tranquility and pros
perity of the country would be main
tanned.
These two sets of bloodthirsty agitators
succeeded in forcing upon the country
war of the sections, in which blood enough
has been shed, if collected in one place,
to drown them all. The rebel leaders
shared the privations and perils of this
war, End Lave had sufficient condign pun
ishment to make them peniteut, wise and
patriotic. They now hasten to swear
fealty to the Union and the Constitution,
and they prove by their conduct sincere
change OF head ana heart.
But the radical leaders of the North
have not yet received their just mede of
retributive justice. During the war they
avoided facing the music of the battle
field. Few of them entered the fighting
service,-scarcely any but those who had
failed to get civil Office, or non-combatant
positions in the army, and who, to live,
sought as last chance, commissions as
majors, colonies and generals, but most Of
these places were given to the relations
and confdence-men of the leading radi.
Gals who stayed at home to hold civil
Office and talk loyalty. As general rule,
these radical political officers were as
much out of danger of getting hurt, as
their friends of the civil Offices at home.
Most of them were getting rich as quar-
termasters and commissaries. Such being
the situation of most of the radical lead
ere, few of them have been punished, or
have suffered in any way during the war
therefore. unlike their former rebel CO.
laborers of the South, few of them are
penitent-few of them have been re-
formed, few of them have become in the
true sense, loyal; and very few of them
are liege subjects of the Union. Very
few of them none of them, are faithful
to the Constitution. Their success in pre-
cipitating the country into civil war, has
given them unlimited confidence in their
capacity for mischief; they think they
can, by skillful manipulation of the negro,
mesmerize the North int convulsive fits,
to suit their will and pleasure. But as it
takes two sides to make fight, and as
they don't want to see fighting at home,
(for then some of them might get hurt),
their only hope is to goad or kick the peo-
pie of the South into another re-
bellion. This is the reason why the
leading radicals are so uncompromising
in their advocacy of negro suffrage, and
of forcing it upon the people of the South.
Whether the people of the South rebel
against negro suffrage, or the negro vote
i'm either event-these leading radicals
think they can so manage affairs as to keep
in Office. Lust of power, Of the basest
sort, is their motive principle. Success
thus far has made them arrogant and au-
dacious. But retributive justice must soon

Not 10 he Hung.

Col. MCLARxN, oommandant at Fort
Smelling, received by telegraph, last even
ing, the following order:
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10, 1865.
Col. r. ". McLaren, Officer commanding at
Fort Smelling:
The President directs that the execution OF
the two Indians under sentence of death for
execution tomorrow, be suspended until fur
ther orders.
You will acknowledge immediately the re-
ceipt of this order:
Eysrder of the President
EDWIN NJ. STANTON,
Secretary of War.
We have no knowledge Of the reasons
which induced the President to suspend
the execution Of theIndian mCrderers, but
it is presumed that the order was issued
through the representations Of their Ess-
tern sympathizers, who learned by the
newspapers of the sentence Of the Court
and of the day appointed to carry it into
effect. 1t is quite likely they will prevail
on the President to commute the sem
taaee to imprisonment on Rock Island, un-.
lsss our military and State authorities be-
stir themselves in the matter. The action
of the Government in the casesof the In
dams whose sentences of death were COM
rnutea to Imprisonment, lsnd the order sus-
peading the execution of "Ettle Six rand
"Medicine Bottle, afford excuse and even
justification 'of the people of Blue Earth
county, for summarily puttingto death
the half-breed Campbell, for his oompli-
city in the murder of the JEwETT family
last spring. If the morbid sympathy OF
people at the East for the red murderers
of our citizens, can influence the Govern
ment to shield them from adequate pun
ishment, the people of this Stste will find
aremedy and fearlessly apply it.

nincty-one millions Of the uniform annual

principal.
On the subject Of coin the Secretary further
remarks E
"The receipts Of coin have been for some
months past so large that there have been
constant aceumuations beyond what has been
required for the payment of the interest on
the public debt The Secretary has, therefore,
deemed it to be his duty to sell, from time to
time, portion Of the surplus for the purpose
of supplying the wants Of importers, and fur
nishing the means for meeting the demands
upon the Treasury for currency. The sales
have been conducted by the Assistant Treas
urer in New YORK; in manner entirely salts
factory to the Department, and, it is believed,
to the public The sales, up to the LIST OF
November, amounted to $27 7,993,2l6 ii, and
the premium to $l2,3l0.4j9 rs; thus placing
in the Treasury for current use, the sum of
$40,303,675 81, without which there would
have been necessity for the further issue OF
intcrest-bearing notes
The necessities of the Treasury have been
such that compliance with the requirements
of the act of February 25, 1862 for the crea-
ton of a sinking fund has been impracticable.
As long as it is necessary for the Govern
ment to borrow money, and to put its obliga
tions upon the market for sale, the purchase
of these obligations for the purpose of crea-
ting sinking fund would hardly be judicious.
After the expiration of the present year, the
income Of the Government will exceed its ex-
pcnscs; and it will then be practicable to
| ,,,tn nfl tlo t,icipp Of lo lnW
The Secretary is, however, of the opinion that
the safe and simple way Of sinking the nation
al debt is to apply directly to its payment the
excess of receipts over expenditures. He
therefore respectfully recommends that so
much of tie act of February 25, 1862, as re-
quires the application Of coin to the purchase
or payment Of one per cent. of the entire debt
of the United States, to Jc set apart as sink
ing fund, be repealed.
BY virtue of the authority conferred by the
fifth section of the act of March 3, 1868, the
Treasurer of the United States, and the AS
sistant Treasurer in New York, have been in
structcd to receive deposits of coin and bull
lion, and to issue certificates therefor in de-
nominations of not less than twenty dollars
Instructions werc given for the issue of
these certificates to promote the convenience
of officers of customs and for the Treasurer
and Assistant Treasurcrs and for the accom-
modation of the public. Other considerations
also prompted the Secretary to avail himself
of the authority referred to- 1t is expected
that the credit of the Government will be
strengthened by the coin which will be thus
brong ght into the Treasury and that the effect
of the measure will be to facilitate to some
extent, return to specie payments. If the
experiment should be satisfactory in New
York, it will be extended to other commercial
cities"

This species of unlawful trade has become
quite prevalent, and to cover large value of
merchandise thus surrepttiously introduced
into our country free Of import duty, and in
its progress many artifccs are rcsorted to, to
deceive our vigilant officials: among which
may be enumerated, the vast number Of "ba-
bics" carefully wrapt in shawls' which were
carried across the lines in roman's stalwart
arms, but none appears to return. On inves-
tigation by curious officials, it was discovered
that nine-tenths of the sleeping babies were
nothing less than tin cans, corresponding in
size and shape to babies, filled with choice
liquors. The best dodge reported in this con-
nection, represents our officials interposing
with funeral cortege, which having just
passed into our territory for the interment Of
some deceased person accompanied by nu-
merous accepting 'triends,--On opening the
coffin, 10 and beholl, instead of cold and

well suppressed, but what new and further arti-
