Foreign Affairs.

LONDON, Dec. 26.-The Times this morning pub
fishes able letter from Mr. Dixie, son of an emf
nent journalist, denouncing the acts f violence
Gently committed by the British authorities at
Yangchow. Mr.. Dixie thinks repfstition of such
acts would be more dangerous to I,eace between
Great Britain and the United States than the Ala
bama Question.
Tho Times, in its comments, alrees with the
writer, and pronounces the outragetSa violation of
the treaties in existence, and justly Offensive to the
Chinese government.
The Times has another long editorial article on
the subject of the Alabama claimsI 1t says; "The
people of both England and America are uneasy in
regard to the relations which to exist in future
between the two nations. This uneasiness arises
from ignorance of the true stat of the negotiations
now pending ON the Alabama Question"
The Times believes that Secretary Seward him
self obstructs the settlement but that the question
win be finally and amica5bly adjusted under the
incoming administration bf President Grant Re-
Verdy johnson is not hlkely to be removed by the
new Administration, b At will be permitted to re-
main and complete tnte work already begun If Mr.
Seward seeks to DELAY the settlement of this inn
portant question ihe should be humored; but the
basis of the protocol already agreed upon by Lord
STANLEY and vi. johnson must remain fixed, and
will sooner Cor later command the consent of both
countres,
LoNJ56N, Dec H.-It is said that President Sar-
meJdto, of the Argentine Republic, has engaged the
Sid offices of General McMahon, the American
Minister to Paraguay, for an attempt to mediate
with Lopez, and that Dom Pedro, the Brazilian
Emperor, has, in consequence, threatened to with
draw the Brazilian Envoy from the Argentine re-
public.
LONDON, Dec. 27-The oriental question absorbs
attention. That conference will be held is not
absolutely certain, and if held sinister results are
foretold, predicated upon similar attempts at con-
ciliation. Turkey declines to yield the indepen-
of or to make sale Of Crete, to transfer that
island to Egypt, or to yield TO any other of the
necessary bases of compromise. Lord Clarendon,
as to be expected adheres to the old policy Of
England in regard to Turkey. Napoleon and the
Emperor of Austria are undecided in their views,
while it is thought that Prussia leans toward those
of Russia. 1t is certain that the Greeks countttle
on direct aid from Russia, but much on psurrec-
tions on the part of their countrymen in Turkey.
The Cretans seem quiet and Indifferent. mani
festO from Garibaldi tells them that the proeama.

"Other appointments unannounced
and unpublished, prevent Gen, An
drews, the disorganizing aspirant, COM
ing before the people of his own town,
and meeting MIR. Donnelly on the charges
so falsely made against him concerning
the Northern Pacific Railroad. These
appointments" had they any real ex-
istence, could easily have been arrang-
ed SO as to have permitted Gen. a. to
be here, had he desired. But he was
AFRAID to face Mr. Donnelly with
the assertions lie made at St. Paul, and
so fle! to the woods or somewhere else.
What man for Congress! Better
vote fer ten-years' old boy, with pluck
and manhood enough to make good his
words. To speak Of Gen. Andrews as
Republican candidate for Congress is
a burning disgrace, and will be resent
ed as such by the voters OF the Dis
trict.

THE nOLTER'S CONVENTION.

The Conventional such it can be
called Of restless, dlsorganizing spirits
which met at St. Paul on last Thurs
day, and put up Brevet Major General
Christopher Columbus Andrews as their
candidate for Congress against Hon. l.
Donnelly, the regular Republican NOM
inec, and as al alder an abettor Of Mr..
Wilson, is so well and sincerely de-
scribcd by one # the editors Of the
Chicago Republican, who was present,
that We give it in place Of anything of
our own. As 1t was written BY Il dis
interested party, it deserves all the more
attention
ST. PAUL, Oct. s, 1868.
The anti .Donnelly convention, re-assem-
blcu BY request OF the Chairman OF the
September 81 Convention, met in 1ngersoll
Hall to day, and nominated G. c. Andrews
of st. Cloud, in place OF Gen. Hubbard, de-
clinet. There was very little enthusiasm
or spirit manifested. Inc convention was
slim one-but tweuty-nine delegates who
were in the Hubbard Convention, were
present, who, with those substituted, made
thirty four composing the same. The to-
tai number Of delegates in full conven-
ton would be ninety hence, but about
| a third Of the full number were in conven-
| ton.
The full number of organized counties in
the district is thirty, Of which but thirteen
were represented to-day, and seventeen not
represented. Among the latter are some
of the largest and strongest Republican
counties in the S ate-Goodhue, Hub bard s
home, Wabasha, Washington, Wright, etc.,
among the number.
! In short, none south Of The Minnesota
river, west Of the Mississippi, and none on
the st. Croix river. TIE Republican vote
in counties not represented, will BE- fully
| 10000. The manner Of reassembling q
| convention that had been adjourned sine
die, is proceeding uni recedcnted in the
usaGes Of any political party.

Lawyers, bankers and merchants, if
asked for, arc found to be in the country.
Even the clerks Of large mercantile
houses have week or ten days Of rusti-
cation. All choirs and organists make
a contract that they shall be free in
August. Nearly every church gives
its pastor leave of absence during the
sultry weather. Most churches add to
tho vacation a purse Of money to pay
expenses. With September the old
order of things returns. Men are
found at their accustomed places of
business. Familiar faces gil our streets
All the convcyances toward the city for
weeks are crowded with people coming
home. The pastors occupy their own
pulp!ts, Drowned from exposure, and
with crispness in tone and manner
indicating the value Of the repose.-
MIR. Beechcr commences the twenty
first year of his ministry. His house
has been beautifully adorned and fitted
up. His pulpit furniture, made from
the wood brought homo from the Mount
of Olives, is very attractive. Without
abatement in energy or physical force,
and with house crowded as Of yore,
he commences his opening season Of
labor. Nearly all our churches have
been renovated during the long vacation.
DR.. Bellows has just come back from
an absence of nearly two years, and
has been welcomed joyously by his
people, his large church being densely
crowded last Sunday. DR.. Chapin's
new church, large as it is, is found toe
small for his congregation. He is ex.
pccted home from Europe in few

fashionablcs, where an elegant church
is to be built. Tho congregation now

Republicans Triumphant,
PENNSYLVANIA, OHIO, INDIANA AND
NEBRASKA.
ALL TRUE TO THE UNION.

Grand, glorious ncws flashes from
the eastward Rcpubhcanism sweeps
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Nebraska and
Indiana. The returns grow better
every hour
Pennsylvania gives majority OF
from $4,000 to 10000, with both
branches of the Legislature Republican.
1t was at first feared Philadelphia was
lost, with two Congressman but the
latest dispatches give the election of
the Republican Mayor by over 200
majority, and the two doubtful Congress
sional districts arc carried
Ohio gives $4,000 Republican ma
jority, and the infamous Vallandigham
who nominated Seymour in the New
York Conyention-is defeated by Gen.
Schenck, as Seymour will be by Gen.
Grant in November.
In Indiana, despite the wholesale i'm
portation Of Rebels from Kentucky,
the Republican majority is 10000.
Nebraska has also gone largely Re-
publican. Having majority in the
Legislature, Republican United States
Senator will be elected.
These elections are a terrible blow to
the Democracy. They seal the fate Of
Seymour and Blair. Grant will he
elected, and we sh,il have peace.
What, in the face of these glorious
victories, will you Republicans Of this
Congressional District, do? While the
party everywhere elseis struggling nobly
against the common enemy, will yor
send them the bitter tidings that yor
intend clecting Democratic Congress
mau in order to please asoulless clique:
Will you send to meet the gallan
Scaenck, who has just so nobly routed
Vallandig ham, Democrat not mucl
better-Engene NJ. Wilson ? AR
you prepared to meet the cries o
"shame !" which will burn and his
upon you when by voting for G. G
Andrews you help to elect Wilson?
Republicans you will never, NEvE1
do this! Crush this crusade against tn
Republican party, its men and princi
Piles, now and forever. Do this by ever
man voting on the Third of No1embe
for IGNArIus DoNNELLY. Wit
Grant, Colfax and Donnelly VIC ca
} have peace.

In what. paper were the "other ap.
pointmcnts" published which Gen. An
drcws had to fill on the 18th? We
find them in none Of our exchanges
not even in the Press or Tribune. Why
not como out like man and refuse to
meet Mr.. Donnclly. This would be
more ereditable than skulking behind
''otner appointments" which had no
existence. When Gen. Andrews can
present anything like as good record
on the Northern Pacific Railroad as
can Mr.. Donnel!y, out Of as we'll as in
Congress, then it will be time enough
for him to arraign the present Repub.
lican candidate for reelection.

measure that would advance the in.

measure that would advance the in,
terests of our State, and VIC challenge
Gen. Andrews, or any Of the few friends
he claims to havo here, to put their
finger upon single idea or act of lg-
natius Donnelly hostile to that or any
other worthy enterprise. In conclu-
sion, we assure these calumnlators that
these charges must be publicly discuss
ed, proven or rctractcd, and that 'other
appointments" must be SO arranged as
to give the people Of this vicinity IN
opportunity to hear the accuser and the
accused in joint meeting. When
shall this meeting be held, General?
The St. Cloud journal. [volume] (St. Cloud, Minn.) 1866-1876, 1868-10-15

From the New York Tribune.
Gen Hubbard having declined the
regular nomination for Congress from
the lid District of Miunesota, leaving
MIR. Donnclly alone in the field, We
hear that an effort is now making to
bring out third candidate. FOR
WHAT? If the Republicans geuer-
ally can be concentrated on such a
candidate, very well; but any nomina-
ton prompted by SPITE OR WRATH
WE MUST CONDEMN. No one can
now tell how the next House will stand !;
aud Frank Blair's revolutionary threat
thai the Southern Republican Members
shall be denied seats, and the nominees
of the Rebels installed in their places,
still hangs over US.
IN SUCH A CRISIS, WANTON-
LY TO THROW AWAY A DIS.
TRICT is A POLITICAL CRIME.
From the Chicago Journal.
The course pursued by Gen. Hub
bard in the Donnelly imbroglio was
specially commendable; but even if he
should have held on until the Commit.
tee Of Arbitration made its report, i,
would by no means follow that the An.
drews movement is justi6abIe. The
Convention which met at St. Paul yes.
tcrday and put General Andrews in
nomination was fragmentary thing
The total number of delegates in full
convention would be ninety-two. Only
about third of the full number were
in convention, and Of them quite q
number were substitutes appointed
without any authority. Then, too, as G
St. Paul dispatch truly says, "thc man.
uer Of re-a:sembling a convention that
had been adjourned sine 0ic is a pro-
ceeding unprecedented in the usages Of
any political party"
We have 10 hesitation l, saying that
We were in hopes tho Republicans Of
that district would unite on now man
but as matters now stand Mr.. Donnelly
is THE REGULAR NOMINEE OF
THE PARTY, and is entitled to the
full vote.
From the Chicago Republican 10Th,
The Minnesota Republican journals
which are leading the crusade against
Hon. Ignatius Donnelly evidently hal
HIN, more than they love the best in
terests of the Republican party.
IF their counsel are followed, ",
shall almost infallibly lose the District
and the cote ct the entire State eciW b.
jeop 1rdi@ed.
Outside of the District, We believe
the sentiment to be almost unanimou!
amang Republicans that Mr.. Donnell,
ought no,O to receive the solid cote o.
the Republican party. We trust Hon
| G. G. Andrews will not permit the U.s.
Of his name to further the interests of
disorganizing faction which would rath
er ruin the Republican party than No
rule it. .
If l gnatius Donnelly is not electe,
to Congress from the Second Minncso
Ia District a Democrat sciN be.
But We have little doubt that tn
honest Republican masses, WHO hav
no part in these personal differences
will rally to his support with unanim
ity that will insure his election.

A REQUEST.

We would be pleased to have Gen:
Andrews friends in this section Of the
country-if he has any--gtve. reaspns
why the Republicans should vote for
him for Congress- whether on person.
al, political, military or what grounds.
The mere this matter is ventilated the
better for Dir. .Donnelly mud the sue.
cess of truo RepnblicaniA,p. And
besides We have some curiosity TO rear
what they have to say. Our columns arc:

HON. IGNATIUS DONNELLY.

We hope our people will not forget
that Mr.. DonnelIy and Maj. Doughty
will address them on Saturday evening
at the Court House in this city. We
further hope they will not forget that
one Of their own citizens has publicly
traduccd Mr.. D., and dares not attempt
to support his charges in like public
manner; and that for the purpose of
expressing their condemnation Of such
pitiable conduct, they will gil the house
to its utmost capacity.
