The MtelL;gencer whines to be let
alone. 1t seems to consider it an un
pardonable sin that the REGISTER de;
sires the election Of the Democratic
candidates for the Convention and the
Legislature, in preference to the ring Of
inveterate Radical politicians who seek
those places in order that they may
thwart the purpose Of the Convention
and oppose everything for which the
Democracy have contended. 1t is very
sad.

THE ELECTION TO-DAY,

DEMOCRATS: We have had short
and lively campaign; let MS crown II
with a decisive victory to-day This
is not a struggle between individuals
- determine which shall hold a place
Of profit; but is as purely contest OF
opinions as has occurred here during
several years past. The questions at
issue may be briefly stated.
The Democratic party went into
power in this State last fall upon prom
Use OF effecting certain reforms IN the
government OF the State In order to
fulfill those pledges and establish such
form of government as a large ma
iority OF the people desire, several
changes in the Constitution are neces-
sarv. Two months ago, the people OF
the State decided that a Convention
should be called 10 make these
changes, the calling OF the Convention
being generally favored by the Demo
Gratis and unanimously OF posed 10y the
Republicans. But Notwithstanding the
Convention has been called, the Repu6-
leans have not ceased their opposition
to its doing the desired work. Through
out the State they avow a purpose OF
breaking up the assembly on the day OF
meeting, in order that the old Constitu'
ton may remain in force unchanged,
and they avow themselves opposed to
almost every amendment that the
friends of reform desire.
In this county the political parties
have nominated candidates represent
ing the different aud opposing views.
The Democratic candidates favored
the call OF the Convention and will
labor to exclude from the new
Constitution all the errors OF the
old. The Republican candidates op-
posed the call of the Convention and,
while they now COW ~ ~" 800 - ~
election that they are in favor of GER
tain constitutional amendments, it is
not believed that they will consent to
condemn their own party record 10y
placing in the Constitution such guar
antees against legislative oppression as
experience has shown 10 be needed. In
fact the candidates Of the Republican
party here are the very men who advo
Gated and defended the identical meas
nres which it is hoped the new Consti'
ntion will effectually prohibit.
This is a plain and, we believe, fair
statement Of the case. The Democratic
party numbers among It's members a
small majority OF the voters OF the
county. The majority is not solarge as
to justify any great confidence in
e result. The party that does the
most work to-day is the party that will
win. Then let every Democratic cit
izen; every man who wishes to prevent
g return OF the days Of political pro-
scription; every man who wishes to
rebuke those who prescribed and per-
secuted him for opinions sake in the
past; 90 to the polls and vote the
Democratic ticket. We must get out a
full vote and it is yoer duty to see that
no proper means is omitted that can
secure that end. Bring all your Demo
cratic neighbors to the polls to-day and
when the sun sets this evening most
important victory will have been won
by the friends of good government and
Constitutional reform.

The Mormon Question.

In the great lawsuit of the People rs.
Hawkins, which has struck so heavy a
blow at Mormon institutions, by the
conviction of the defendant, much sur
prise and some adverse criticism were
evoked by the circumstance that the
prosecution was for adultery, instead of
for bigamy under the act of Congress
of 1862, an act intended to reach the
practice of polygamy in Utah. The
reasons were, briefly, that bigamy re-
quires the proof of at least two marriag-
'es, only one of which is lawful. The
polygamous marriages are q secret cere-
mony, of which, as experience has
shown, the Mormons, when called into
court, deny all knowledge. The lawful
wife cannot testify against her husband
in such a prosecution. The unlawful
wives would not give their testimony
because of the social position to which
it would degrade them. On the other
hand, in adultery cases, under the Utah
law, only one marriage need be proved ;
the wife may be witness against her hus-
band. and while she may know nothing
of his polygamous marriages, is likely
to be cognizant of his adulterous acts.
The sagacity Of the course adopted is
evident in the charge OF Chief-Justice
Mexican to the jury, showing how the
proceedings for adultery steered clear of
all questions about the fact or the char
acter of polygamous marriages, and, of
course, no evidence as to faith in a pre-
tended revelation or a religious cbserv-
ance on the part of a prisoner could be
allowed to influence the decision of the
jury since the question before them
was simply whether Hawkins had or
had not transgressed a plain law enacted
by a Mormon Legislature.

The Oil Market.

The news of the disaster to the whale
ing fleet has completely unsettled the oil
market, if we may believe a New York
paper for not only has the entire catch
of the Arctic feet been lost, but fhe
vessels with their outfits are also gone
beyond recovery. In Boston to-day the
price of whale oil has jumped from sixty
cents to one dollar per gallon, a rise of
forty cents over the last sales a few days
ago. Holders of the article are not in
a hurry to sell even at this large ad-
vance, and no transactions are reported,
both buyers and sellers not having as
yet sufficiently digested the news to
be able to enter upon negotiations.
The price of sperm-oil will also
be affected, but not to the extent of
whale, as the latter formed the chief part
of the oil lost. A few days ago sperm
was offered at 81. 40 per gallon, and S1.35
offered. The entire stock of oil held in
this country on the first of the present
month amounted to Is, 900 barrels sperm,
and 81, 1000 whale, against a stock of 28,-
$50 barrels sperm, and $4,000 barrels
whale on the LIST of January, leaving two
months consumption yet to be estimat-
ed before the close of the year. The
quantity held in Boston to-day is Lou
bbls. sperm, and 800 barrels whale. 1t
is considered that the feet made a fatal
mistake in remaining so late in the sea-
son far up in the North. 1t is not safe
to remain in those inhospitable seas
after the first of September. But it is
supposed that, spurred on by the success
es of the past two years, and the tempt
alton to hold on for a large catch at the
last hour, the whalers became so ven
turesome, and hence suffered the terri
BILE calamity.

A Profitable Days Work.

An instance of quick work, by which
pretty profitable wages were earned has
come to our knowledge, which we think
worthy of public mention, the names of
the parties being withheld by request.
Not long since there was employed in
one of the large shoe manufactures in
this city a young lady whose ddty it vas
to fasten the taps and soles of ladies'
boots together, preparatory to lasting.
This is done after the tap and soles are
dinked out, by first passing and then Sc
curing them by two nails. One day a
gentleman was In the mandatory where
she was employed, and observing her
CELEBRITY of movement, raised a question
as to how many she could prepare in one
day. One of those having the manage
ment of affairs expressed the opinion
that she could do twenty cases in ten
hours. The gentleman first mentioned
could not credit this, and offered to
stake one thousand dollars against five
hundred that the feat could not be ac-
complished. The wager was accepted,
the young lady acquainted with the facts
and asked if she could do it. She replied
that she was willing to try, provided she
should have a share of the money should
she win. This was agreed to and the
task was commenced. At twelve o'clock
on the next day she had eleven of the
twenty cases finished and packed ready
for the laster, and at ten minutes inside
the ten hours the task was completed.
The incredulous gentleman paid the wa
ger of one thousand dollars, and the
winner handed the young lady five hun
bred of it. This, together with the sum
earned by doing the work, made pretty
fair wages for one day. and any n can
see by a little calculation that she had
to keep pretty busy. There were in
each case sixty pairs, four pieces to a
pair, making two hundred and forty
pieces of leather to handle, and as many
nails to be driven. In the twenty cases
there would be forty-eight hundred
pieces to take care of in ten hours, which
was done i: thus averaging four hundred
and eighty per hour, or eight in one
This is an actual fact, and the
smart girl is at present doing a snug
little business of her W in the central
of our city. If this can be
beaten bring along the one who can do

How Swedish Houses are Built in Maine.

"ORly one framed house in all New
Sweden - "For goodness sake, how
then are they made ?"-writes q cores
pendent of the Boston Post from the
Swedish Colony in Maine. Mostly of
hewn timber, neatly doyetailed together,
with partitions, ceilings, and floors OF
evenly-planed cedar plank. The dwell
hngs erected by the State were of round,
peeled logs, laid one upon another /; but
these the Swedes found rather chilly
and disagreeable upon the advancement
of cold weather, and improved them by
hewing boththe inside and outside walls,
filing in the spaces with moss, and then
closing then up with matched strips of
cedar. a matched board ceiling over
head was the next addition, with a double
plank, smoothly-planed floor underfoot,
making them both warm and neat, and
to present much the same appearance as
those built of hewn timber. They are
all a story and a half high, with square
pitched roofs. giving ample room for
chambers, and In dimensions extensive
enough to admit one large general front
a good sized bedroom, and con-
venient pantry upon the ground floor.
The windows are small, with little panes
of glass, and the only outside door opens
directly into the front room. The interior
walls of nearly all the houses have been
prettily papered by the thrifty house
wives, and with the spotlessly clean
floors and ceilings lookby no means I'M
attractive. Tables, chairs, cradles,
ustic-bedsteads, and a thousand and one
useful and ornamental articles appear Oh
all sides, happily constructed by Swedish
diligence and ingenuity, from curiousiy
roots and bits of board ; pretty
quilts, plump white rufied
white covered rustic stands hold
ing the family Bible, and walls hung
round with sketches from the same,
make up the neat attractive appointments
Of every bedroom. From open pantry
doors CLEAN occ: sional dishes of glass,
odd china cups, antique pitcher, and
heavy silver spoons while upon the
brightly polished stoves sing merrily the
kettles.

Fatal Conflict in Nebraska.

The Sioux City Qowa) Journal pub
fishes the following The Indians who
inhabit the region of country lying near
the headquarters of the Elkhorn River,
in Holt County, Nebraska, are again
displaying their hostility towards the
white Hunters and trappers who visit
that section each Fall and Winter. A
band of about twenty Indians, supposed
to be Sioux, visited a camp OF hunters,
four in number, and ordered them to
leave the country. The Indians claimed
that the game and fur in that region be-
longed to them, and that the whites who
invaded their hunting gounds were tres
passers, and would be elected by force
if they did not leave peaceably. The
hunters informed them that they had
come there to hunt game and trap fur,
and, if they did not like it, they could
make the most of it.
At this the Indians departed without
another word. The hunters concluded
that they meant mischief, and conse-
quently were on the alert. They watch
ed the remainder of that day, but saw
no traces of them. But understanding
the Indian character, they anticipated
an attack at daybreak on the following
morning, and accordingly completed
their preparations to receive them
Their anticipations were correct. The
Indians made their appearance with the

camp. Two of the Indians fell from
