Minnesota Election.

The election in Minnesota occurred nearly
three weeks ago, yet the contest is SO close be-
tween Otis, democrat, aud Austin, radical, for
Governor, that it Is still undecided which is
elected. The Pioneer (dem.) says " the con-
test is SO close that only the official canvass
can determine the result but thinks the rad
ical candidate is defeated. The Press Trad. J
figures out Austin SlS ahead The latter also
makes the legislature stand 90 republicans to
10 democrats in the house, and IA republicans
to democrats in the senate; but to do SO in
eludes is representatives that were chosen as
~!indepeHdent" candidates in opposition to re-
gular republican nominations. On the whole,
if the result may be claimed as republican
victory" it is certainty one the party has 40
reason to boast Of

The Rebellion against the Dominion.

The Rebellion against the Dominion.
The meaning of the rebellion in the Asini-
boin country, north of Minnesota, against Brit
ish rule Is, that the people thereaway are
decidedly ayerse to be placed under the rule
of the Dominion of Canada. All that country
was formerly under the control of the Hud-
sons Bay Company, but on the consolidation
OF the Canadian Provinces into the ''Domin-
ion," was turned over to the new government.
The few settlers in that region are so impress
ed by the prosperity Of their neighbors in
Minnesota and Wisconsin,, that they desire
institutions of a similar kind. So when Gen.
McDougal went out from Canada with small
military escort to set himself up as Governor
at Sekirk, he met with resistance by the peo-
pie, and found it prudent to leave somewhat
hurriedly. 1t remains to he seen whether the
Dominion has spirit enough to send an army
into that wild and inhospitabe region to
"crush the rebellion The undertaking must
necessarily be an expensive one, and common
sense would seem to dictate that it would be
good deal wiser to open negotiations with the
Grant ADMINISTRATION with view to selling out.

The Yerger Case.

ln-t.There has hardly anything in the history
of our government occurred more Illuminating

got into quarrel with one of the military
satraps placed by radical reconstruction legis-

him. ,.Heawas carrie d before one of those ille-

tiby an unconstitutional act of congress to do

up the question under this writ, shall YER
ger be released from the sentence of the
military commission and turned over to the

by the court, Involves an adverse decision as

arrangement, and probably has no parallel in

Jacob Traver, Of Hudson, N. Y, a gentleman Ia
his 10th year. an esteemed and influential citizen,
and one Of the Assessors of that city called upon
us to explain the wonderful effects Of Rennes Magic
Oil, as applied to his own person, and showed us
his limb. For more than 20 years Mr.. Traver has
been afflicted with sore limb, (his right leg be-
low the knee), which was very much swollen, and
occasionally has been compelled TO use a crutch for
six months at a time. He had consulted eminent
physicians in his own city, and various parts of
the country, all Of whom told him that the sores
upon his leg sometimes as many as FIVE in num-
Der and very deep, could not be healed, and If
healed his life would BIO endangered. An Agent
OF Mr.. Renne having assured NJ. Traver that the
Magic Oil would effect cure, if q cure was posi-
pic, nc commenced its use, applying it faithfully.
lie has used some Is bottles, repeatedly pouring
the vi into the sores and bathing outside the
sores have healed, and Mr.. Traver says he feels
like new man, and were his age renewed, he
thinks he could indulge the fantastic toe as
vigorously as in his youthful days. We consider
this cure as one that deserves particular mention,
and that in calling attention to it, we are doing
the public service. Persons similarly afflicted
should call upon Mr.. Traver if they want addi-
tiona facts. lie takes great pleasure in commend
ing the article that has been of 90 much benefit in
in his case. The physicians whom he had formerly
consulted and who had treated the case are equal
ly surprised with Mr.. Traver at the remarkable
cure.

The Eclipse.

DEsMo1NEs, Iowa, Aug. 9.
An uncouded sky allowed many obser-
vers, gathered here, to witness the eclipse
with great distinctness; light haze only
interfered to prevent satisfactory search
for the planet supposed to exist inside of
the orbit of Mercury according to Profess
or Sanfford's observations. The first con-
tact occurred at three hours forty-three
minutes and forty-three seconds The
commencement of the total obscurity was
four hours forty-fve minutes and thirty
seconds. The end of the total eclipse was
four hours forty-eight minutes and twen-
ty two seconds. The last contact was five
hours forty-fve minutes and eleven Sec
onds. The points of time are from six
to twenty-five seconds later than was cal
culated, according to Washington time.
E. II. Haines and Prof Hilliard, OBJ
serving it from another point, noticed the
discrepancy between the calculation and
observation at once. 1t was nearly rhom-
boidal in form and very distinct, and ex-
tended at some points half a degree be-
yond the edge of the suns disc. Rose
colored protuberances appeared to the
number of five or six, the greatest being
seen on the southwestern quarter.
Prof. Hardness observations of the
protuberance in spectrascope showed diff
ferent spectra for each.
Prof. Eastman's observations of the
thermometer showed a fall of 13 in the
temperature during the progress of the
eclipse. The total observation lasted two
minutes and fifty seconds. Venus and
Mercury were distinctly visible to the
naked eye. Darkness exceeded that Of
night.
The most interesting feature in the as
pect of the sun was the protuberancc or
beads. The largest one, already men
toned, was semi-circular in shape, with
finger extended say one-eight and part
of the suns diameter was directly down
ward as one looked.
Another right limb was shaped like
two horns of an antelope.

But in the minds of some, there exists
an objection to having Sabbath included
in the time allotted for Camp-meetings
They do not say it is a dissertation for
Christians to sing and pray and preach in
grove on the sabbath, but it attracts
sinners in great numbers and they some
times behave naughtily and disrespectful-
ly; therefore, the meeting must be cut
short, in the midst of its high success
Gods people sent reluctantly home, and
awakened sinners left to lapse into hard
ness and sin, and perhaps everlasting
ruin, all because the enemy is on the
ground in large force, attracted there by
a company of Christian people engaged in
Christian worship! If even Satan man.
ufactured specious and silly objection
and put it in the lips Of weak minded
Christians, whereby he might more effec-
lively foil their efforts to overthrow his
kingdom, this is his masterpiece. His
whisperings are,-strike your tents, arms,
disband forces, cease hostilities on my
kingdom and provinces, because forsooth
you will desecrate the holy Sabbath
Bah This is Satanic piety, indeed Just
as though it was more criminal for sim
ner to show out to men what he shows
within to God constantly. Christ declares
emphatically the reverse by all four of
the evangelists.
This objection to camp-meetings is a
stronghold of the Devil. The sooner he
is routed and driven from within these
our outposts, the better. Through this
silly objection we have been greatly shorn
of our strength, and the church robbed of
thousands of sheaves that otherwise
would have been garnered for Christ.
We do well to hurl this foolish objection
to the bottomless pit, whence it originated
and remember, that che soweth sparingly
reapeth also sparingly and he that soweth
bountifully reapeth also beautifully"
We protest most solemnly against these
brief and comparatively unproductive
camp-meetings. Let the church so high
ly favored and blessed in the use of this
means of grace, return to the old land
marks, and again make this annual re-
ligious effort, something more than a
holiday make it a general siege for re-
capturing the enslaved, and enlisting re-
cruits by hundreds in the service of the
Master.
Methodists, friends of camp-meetings,
it is for you to deal the final blow to this
enemy,-this special foe to success. Crap
ping with that, you wrestle with the
chief and efficien. cause which has for
the past few years 50 signally paralized
your camp-meeting efforts. He who shall
aid to restore to our grove meetings this
lost feature, so pregnant with heavenly
fruitage, does nobler work for humanity
than he who shall discover North w est
passage, or the long sought sources of the
Nile.

Reports of the Legislative Committee.
o THE Council OF CENsoRs

~
The Legislative Committee, to whom
was referred the resolution instructing
them to inquire whether laws of the State
regulating the rate of interest have been
disregarded and violated, etc, and the
said Committee report the cause of such
violation, and whether it be within the
providence Of this Council to provide a
remedy.
Report, That we have considered the
matter submitted to us by said resolu-
ton, and state that the laws of the State
regulating the rate Of interest have been
very generally disregarded. The cause
of such violation is the procliyity of the
citizens Of this State, moved and insti-
gated by the love Of money to evade the
law to gain important ends.
But we think that matter so variable
as the use of money should be under the
control of the Legislature, whose flexible
legislation can be better adapted to the
varied value of money, and the various
cxigencies and wants of the people, than
a stiff and inAexible provision of organic
law. And we therefore think it is not
within the legitimate province of the
Council Of Censors to provide remedy.
