it really was communicated by Lady
Byron, or some of her friends, to Mrs.
Ssowe. But it has been shown con-
clusively that it was impossible the
charge should have been true. Per-
haps Lady Byron's sufferings dethron-
ed her reason, and that she was really
more insane than she belived her hus,
band to be. None but an insane wo-
man would take to her bosom the
partner of her husbands guilt. None
but an insane woman would make a
foreigner and a stranger the repository
of SO dreadful a secret as that which
she is said to have confded to Mrs.
Stowe. This Mrs. Stowe should have
known, and should have yelled from
the world the revolving charges made
by wife against the memory of a
husband who had lain SO long in his
grave. The Countess Guiccioli's ex-
travagant eulogy of one, whom she has
many reasons to admire, can afford no
substantial excuse for contrary course.

pears to have grown to considerable
proportions. It is said that the Presi-
dent sides with Belknap. Among other
matters the making ont the "report y
is the prominent cause of the Disagree
ment.
The session of Congress will scarce
begin ere the wrath, bitterness and
hate of the Radicals will be shown in
their attempts, which will probably be
successful, to completely crush CO.
ordinate branch of the Government,
the Supreme Court. Its power to de-
eide upon the constitutlonality of po-
iitical questions will be shown from it
if possible. Senator Drake of Nilsson
ri, a fitting instrument for dirty work,
will offer q bill which will make the
Congress of the country supreme in
their power; an oligarchy Of the worst
kind. TREBLA.

The Minnesota Election,

1t has been two weeks since the Min
nesota election, but the contest was so
close, that the definite result has not vet
reached US. The ST. Paul Press (RepubIi.
CAM gives list of the vote, official and
unofficial, in all the counties but five or
six on the frontier, with this result on the
gubernatorial ticket:
Otis (DemocraD .2O.5S9
Austin (Republican) ............2l, 4O7
This gives Austin majority so far of
sls. But the Pioneer (Democrat) says
that the figures "are so close that only the
official canvass can determine the result"
and even intimates that the Republican
candidate is defeated. While we are not
prepared to expect this it is certain that
the Republicans have lost heavily and if
Austin is elected, it is by the skin of his
teeth. A Republican estimate of the Leg
lslature makes it stand: House, % Re-
pubiicans, IL Democrats Senate, Ia Re-
pub'icans Democrats giving a Republ-
can majority Of 9 in the House, and 6 in
the Senate, or Is on joint ballot. But, of
the Republican Representatives counted
in this estimate, II were chosen on Peo-
pies tickets, in opposition to the regular
Republican tickets, and they cannot be
relied on to vote with their party even On
party questions. -
On the whole, if the result may be claim
ed Republican victory, it certainly is not
one which that party has any reason to
boast of.

THE New YORK ELEcr1oN.-The
World says in summing up the election
returns: SIT will be observed that Gen,
Slgel runs away ahead of Greeley,
though he runs behind Mr.. Townsend,
though the number of counties which
have returned their votes for Sigel ex-
coed that of those returning theirs for
townsend. For the first two candi-
dates on the State ticket we now have
nearly full official returns. When the
vote of New York and Kings counties
shall be returned Nelson's majority
will reach over twenty thousand,
which is double the majority received
ny Governor Seymour last fall, des-
pite the falling off in the Democratic
majorities in the counties named.
Last syear, on the vote for Seymour
and Grant; the counties from which re-
turns are given on the vote for Secre-
tary of State this year gave Grant g.,
7O9 majority, more than double the
majority which they have Just given
Sigel. 1t is eveident, then, that the
hard work of the Democracy has been
done in the country, and the gallant
result which it has achieved merits al
praise" -

A MINISTERIAL MIsrAKE.-An anus
ing mistake occurred at one of our
churches on Sunday last, says the La
Crosse wis., Leader, which 1t will do
to make a note of. A sombre- dressed
and weil-behaved young gentleman,
and stranger in the city, wended his
way to one of the places where the
gospel is dispensed, and upon entering
the church the minister politely bowed
as in recognition Of the young gentle
man, which salutation the stranger
could but return. The minister then
arose from his seat in the pulpit, came
down to the place where the young
man had seated himself, and asked him
to take place in the pulpit, and make
a prayer.
Stranger-"Guess you're mistaken
in your man, SIR"
Minister-"You are the gentleman,
l believe, with whom l had a conversa-
ton yesterday"
Stranger-"No, sir, am an agent
for a Wholesale liquor house in Chica-
CO."
Minister retiring to his pulpit dis
gusted, breathes prayer of more than
ordinary force and fervor.

VMost or nearly all of the sugar
planters Of Rapides have done rolling.
The cane, this season, has yielded less
than ever before known; hence the
sugar crop of our Parish will not be
more than the third of one. In fact
some have made less than the fourth of
what they expected. Three times the
cane of last year has been rolled, and
we are not far behind the mark, when
we assert, that this years crop won't
exceed 200 hogshead that of last year.

s@- Says the New York Tribune :
I'VE grieve to shy that an old eloquent
friend of ours, who has often been partcu-
larry mentioned in these columns-the
American Demosthenes, otherwise known
us Mr.. George Francis Train-is most dis
respectfully spoken of by several of the
Western journals, and that he never was
pasquinaded before with such versatility of
rhetoric aud ingenuity of abuse, except
may be in some Woman's Rights Conven
ton. He is called, 1. Gan Anticipated
swindle-bag," 2. He is thus addressed /:
"Good-by, old windy; good-by, old gas
pipe; go, home and soak your head in
whisky, SO as to give some strength to
yonr apology for brains"-all which to
cay the least, Is not complimentary to Mr..
Train phrenologically. We must, with all
our force, protest against this light method
of mentioning man who, in our opinion,
can In one hour talk more and say less
than any other being that ever existed OF
is likely to exist. Honor to whom honor
is due"
