LETTER FROM MINNESOTA.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec. 10. 1870

/
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec. IL, 1870.
| EDITOR TELEGRAPH: We have had ss
fine fall in this northern latitude as in
any State in the Union. Our first frost
was on the 18th of October, not followed
by another for several days The first
ice formed was on the 9th of November.
The first snow-rnore than little squall
was on the 9Th of December; the day
was warm and thawing, and most Of the
snow melted as it fell, though during the
evening the ground was covered to the
depth of two inches, that still remains.
The coolest morning was the 9Th Of Dec.
the thermometer being 14o above zero.
Masons are still laying brick, and the
weather seems more like October than
December. The annual steamboat excur-
sion on the list of December was a fine
affair, and good pecuniary success, the
proceeds of which was devoted to the
Orphan Asylum of the city. The st.
Paul trotting park association have pur-
chased farm of one hundred and twenty
acres one mile west of the city for TWEEN
three thousand dollars, and have an cx-
cellent track nearly completed. The de-
sign is to move the Agricultural Society
there, several large buildings are in CEN
temptation of erection. In the, meantime
the discovery is made that said race track
is opposite the State Reform School, and
as fast horses and their auxiliary are not
potent agents of REFORM, it is presumed
the Legislature may be influenced the
coming session to purchase the farm for
the School, as its accession is very esiia-
BILE.
The County Commissioners are in .
muddle, in which fraud and many other
unpleasant accusations are passing
through the local prints. 1t seems they
are erecting County house on the poor
farm, the cost as designed was to be forty
thousand dollars and the plan more mag
nifcent than the State Capitol, or any
State building. The machinery of the
company not being kept we'll oiled, little
friction was the result, whether it can
be subdued without birthstone, the sequel
will show There is large speculation
in real estate. Many heavy transactions
have lately taken place. Many build
ings have been erected during the SUM
mer. Some fine business blocks, but
principally dwelling houses. The Mer-
chants Hotel has been greatly enlarged,
and many other public buildings improv-
ed, while miles of sidewalks have been
built St. Paul is rapidly improving in
every sense. Business of all kinds con.
tinues good, though money matters are
close. More wheat than usual-up to this
time-has been sold and shipped Henry
Ames, one of the largest dealers in the
city, has failed, circumstance that all
regret, a. his effort to benefit the farmer
by paying high price. has resulted in
great loss to himself. Thanksgiving was
duly observed. Amusements have been

quists, have each been receiving large
patronage. Lectures, &C., fill the bill

in connection with the Governorship is no
new thing. At any time in the past ten
years his nomination for the office would
have been received with favor, and en-.
Enthusiastically ratified by the people. He
would make model Governor.
1t is not easy to predict who will re-
ceive the nomination for Lieut.. Governor.
1t will depend somewhat upon the nomi-
nation for Governor, as it has not been
customary to teke both nominees from
the same side of the Mountain. Should
Mr.. Stewart be placed at the head of the
ticket, Major w. Rounds of Chester, Hon.
B. d. Harris of Brattleboro' and Hon.
Geo. N. Dale of Guildhall are named
for the second position. Not to disparage
either of those well-known gentlemen,
mention has been made of still another
which, in connection with Mr.. Stewards,
would make a ticket of great strength
Stewart and Billings, it is believed, would
prove more popular, both las candi-

to be put forward. Both are educated
men, are in the very prime of life, and

The Question of Governor not
Settled. '..

Editor Rutland Herald In your edi-
torial of June 5th, under the caption,
" The Candidate for Governor" you say
" the question of locality has been prac.
tically settled from the fact that neither
of the gentlemen on the East side desired
the nomination for less than the usual
period of two years, which leaves the
matter for Western Vermont to settle;"
A little too fast, think Mr.. Editor, a
little forestalling, would it not be better
70 have the whole matter come before the
Convention Permit me to ask, is any
man authorized to say that the question
of the locality of the Candidate is " set
tied ?" l deny it, and ask for proof. If
the proof is not at hand, 1 earnestly de-
sire, that the question be submitted to
the people, where it rightfully belongs.

everything, if he only choose. He is one
of the tall men of the conference, and not
unfrequently towers high above all his
pulpit utterances. He is one of the eK-

ordinary success, only because they seem

seems to hate to put into practice this
abundant talent. Yet he is laborious

talents, faith and soul, as Pittsfeld and
leading churches in Troy rejoice to

BURNING OF THE ST. LOUIS REPUBLI-
CAN OFFICE.-The st. Louis Democrat,
which, by the way, is a republican paper,
gives the following details of the burning
of the Office of the Republican, its demo-
cratic contemporary, on the Gath. The
building was a massive fve-story brick
structure, and was one of the most COM
plete newspaper offices in the West.
Though it seemed rickety, and shook to
its very core when the huge engines went
to work, still it contained many modern
improvements. In the cellar were two
large engines, and two of Hoes presses.
In the rear of the cellar was the mail
room, where ladies were at work mailing
papers. The first floor was occupied as
the counting room, and contained a large
vault where files of the paper were kept,
and Just off from the cashiers desk was
the private room of the proprietors. On
room and bindery department. These
rooms were filled with specimens of work
show bills and works in process of COM
pletion. 1t was on this floor and in this
department that the fire originated. On
the third floor the editorial rooms were To-
Gated, fronting on Chestnut street, and in
the lear of these were the job printing
rooms The fifth floor was occupied as
the composing room, and at the time
was filled with upwards of thirty-two
typos, or printers, who were at work set
ting up type. Mr.. William Hyde, the
managing editor, who had valuable pri-
vate library in his room, rushed up to
save some of the books. He was accom-.
panied by a self-possessed compositor
named Fisk, who began to assist him in
throwing books out of the windows. They
had not thrown ont more than a dozen be-
fore their reterat was wholly cut off, and
they incontinently plunged through the
fire. Mr.. Hyde made two steps down the
first flight and one down the second, es-
Gaping with few slight contusions. Mr..
Fisk was asphyxiated, fell twice to the
floor in the midst of the flames, but by
virtue of extraordinary presence of mind,
crawled desperately forward and got out
without serious injury. Within less than
ten minutes from the first alarm, the en-
tire building was great sheet of flames,
ana the streets for three squares in every
uireetlon were so densely packed with
anxious spectators that the escaping in
mates Were scarcely able to crowd them
selves Tar enough from the fated house to
ensure SAFETY. The news presses were in
the basement, one eight and the other a
four cylinder, and toge her probably worth
SAC, 900 or sac, 900. The presses as we'll
as two engines and boilers had been
placed in the building, and it was
supposed that in case of fire
the smaller of the engines and presses
would escape injury as they were in a
vault thought to be fre-proof. As the
heat in the basement was intense it was
impossible to make an examination but it
seems not probable that anything escaped
destruction, as the weight of the falling
walls and burning timbers was sufficient

Silent Congressnen.

Washington correspondent speaks of
some of the silent members of Congress
and among others he mentions some with
whom our readers are particularly fam
iliar.-He says:
Luke ?. Poland, of Vermont, is one of
those silent men. Waterloo had been
fought few months, and Napoleon was
beginning to feel the petty tyranny of Sir
Hudson Lowe, when Mr.. Poland was born
at Westford, Vermont. In 1861, he was
in the Senate in the deatt-vacated seat of
Jacob Collamer. There is an 1912 atmos-
phere about Mr.. Poland He has decided
ly the finest presence of any man in Con-
gress. Not strong man, perhaps, not a
great one, but with much of natures no.
bility stamped upon him. Chairman of
the committee to Revise the Laws, he
makes grammatical and concise statutes
on which lesser men build regulations and
obtain. for year or so, the nam0 of states
men. This statesmanship dies when the
newspaper obituary has been written, or
the Legislative eulogy pronounced. Poland
is as reverential looking as an old Roman
saint, although those who know him well
tell me that he likes game of whist, and
does not object to other amusements for
which canonization is not generally de-
creed. His name does not go over
the wires every day, and does not
trouble Mr.. Speaker Blaine more than
once in two weeks, but he has weight and
influence nevertheless. He it was who
was put forward some time ago to smooth
the troubled waters when Butler and Lo-
gan and Farnsworth rode the storm at the
expulsion of Whittemore.
II I were asked the name of the silent
member of the House, par excellence, l
should point to Mr.. Oakes Ames-the
greatest railroad man, the most powerful
of the Iron Kings'-he who sends en-
gines, like shuttles, across the continent,
tunnels mountains, spans rivers, changes
the channels of trade and commerce, (for
| all this Mr. Ames has done, in his magni-
fcent faith in the pioneer Pacific Rail
road) He never adds syllable OF
sound to the Babel of sound around him.
/ l have never heard him make speech,
never known him to ask permission tc
send his manuscript to the Globe printers
This silent Congressman wields more pow
er than one-ha.f the noisy troupe around
him Given forces produce certain re
suits That which is hidden, not per
ceptible to ordinary gaze, we are apt tc
suspect. Nature works quiet, in secret
Her machinery is n marvel and a mys

ence in legislation, which the not imma.
cuIate call sinister ; but | am not of those

| A case of outrageously brutal treatment of
animals was checked at Bellows Falls last week,
on the cattle train about to leave for the Boston
markets. One end OF a car was, loaded with
calves, the other with sheep, and among both
were cattle; and they were packed so close that
] the smaller animals were inevitably trodden un-
der foot. The center of the car was occupied by
crates of live poultry. The owner of the stock

b. Eddy, and only hired another and trans
ferred some of his stock when threatened with
prosecution. We do not see but that the railroads
