%0RlNG."

The press Of the State continues to
express itself very forcibly concern
ing the attempt on the part Of the COR
rupt "Ring" at this place to iujure the
business of TIE JOURNAL by starting
a new paper. We have already given
extracts from number Of prominent
Republican papers. The Rooheste,
Post, which justly ranks as one of the
leading papers of tho State, says in its
last issue:
Tho St. Cloud JOURNAL is good
paper, and being an independent
one, is about to reap the usual re-
ward of newspaper independence, that
is, newspaper opposition. A ring Of
rich men who can't control our friend
Mitchelps columns, propose to weaken
them by the establishment of an oppo.
sition sheet. Without wishing to make
any odious comparison, we may be al.
lowed to say that in such fight as
that our sympathies are naturally with
the under dog. Experience teaches US
that Mitchell will held his own with
them.
The editor Of the Houston County

Clarke, McOlurel & Co. from personal
knowledge. 20 from the &C.

A new paper is about to be started
at St. Cloud, composed partly Of the
Sank Rapids Sentinel, aud run by the
"ring," Wait, Clarke & Mcclure.
From tho Lanssboro Clurion.
The material of the Sank Rapids
Sentinel is being removed to St. Cloud
and new paper will be issued there
called the St. Cloud Press. This is
done to spite The JOURNAL, because
of its opposition to Wait, Mcclure &
Co. in tho late bridge controversy
there. This is not wise or commend
able course on the part of those men
The JOURNAL is one Of the best pa

This letter was received too late for last

WARRINGTON, D. c., Feb. IL, 1872.
EDITOR JoURNAL.-Thc past week
has been one of unusual interest and
excitement. The many questions in.
volving such diverse national opinions,
aud the intense interest in the debates,
have drawn from all parts of the Union
large numbers Of people who ell the
galleries and patiently wait hours to
hear their tav.rito champions.
The debate on tho Civil Rights
amendment, inaugurated and persist
emily forced by Senator Sumner, affect
ing directly SO large a class OF our 70.
ters, has attracted the largest audiences
since the impeachment trial, aud filed
the Senate galleries to sut}ocation-tho
colored elemea: largely l'e]ominating.
Amnesty, with its Civil R'yAts amend
ment, Was debated all through the week,
and on Frilay it was evident vote
would be had. The strong, able speech
Of Senator Ferry, (Conu.) against it
had undoubtedly shaken the onvictions
Of some, and as the end drew near, the
friends of the measure grew nervous
aud watchful, prompt to meet the issues
advanced, sharp on points Of order, and
determined to force vote. Finally
the question was put-cven the usually
impertarbable Vice President showing
his interest by his slightly trembling
voice-and as tho roll-call proceeded.
and the close, even vote became appar-
ent, the responses were listened for in
the most profound silence. Many Sem
ators left their seats to look over the
shoulder Of the stenographer who kept
tally; even Sumner himself, so great
was his interest, came down from his
seat to the desk. The last name wos
called, and it was known that there was
a tic. The list was handed to the Vice
President, and everybody waited breath
less for the casting vote. Mr.. Colfax
announced the vote-twenty-eight to
tweuty-eig ht- and stated that, while
he did net concur IN all its features, he
voted IN tie affirmative, and declared
the amendment carried.
This announcement was followed by
loud applause in the galleries, prompt.
ly checked by the Presidents gavel
and his order to the door. keepers to re-
move any one manlfesting approval Of
any vote, adding, "this is not town
meeting, but the Senate of the United
States" Senator Sumner was surround.
ed and congratulated heartily on his
SUCCESS, and for moment held quite
levee in front Of tho Presidents desk.
Order was resumed and the Amnesty
Bill, declaring "Civil Rights with
its amendment adding "Equulity before
the law,"-was put upon its passage.

THE RESULT OF THE ELECTION.

The result of the election held on
Monday cannot but be gratifying to
every citizen Of st. Cloud Who feels
tho slightest interest 10 it, prosperity
The success Of tho measures submitted
70 the people will insure the carrying
forward Of the important railroad en-
terprises upon which the future Of this
city 90 largely depends. The cars of
three lines will soon be receiving and
disoba'gios their freight within our
limits. The depot will be located
whore it will accommodate all, and
whore its influence will be for the bene-
fit Of the property which will pay the
bonus-an6 not where it would tend
to develop and build up an sntsgo-
nistio interest. Business Of Ill kinds
will be stimulated and it can truly
be said that St. Cloud is now for the
6rst time, 10 position to attract CAPT.
tai and population. There is no town
in the State better located, with great
er natural advantages, or With promise
ofa more prosperous growth.
This result is no less gratifying in
another aspect, Is showing that the
town has been effeotually freed from
the grasp Of the corrupt "Riog" which
h's ruled, and cursed, it. Out Of 402
votes cast, but II we're against the
bonds. This opposition includes the
present full strength of this combiua-
ton, aud also several individuals who
ara eoostitut'oually opposed to bonuses.
The people were 6rm aud united, and
oil efforts put forth to turn them prov
cd Intellectual.
To break, if possible, the force Of
tho blow, and make less disastrous
their defeat, tho "Ripg" claim that
the vote Wa light one. This is not
true. 1t was the largest vote ever cast
at any special election held in this
city. 1t showed l46 more votes than
wore cast at the SPECIAL Bond election,
May slst, 1870 (256);it was nearly
double the vote cast 1T the special
election Of May 4th, 1871, on the
Bond Arbitration Act $685.; it was
19l votes larger thao the result of the
last election for city officers (2l1).
And coming to general elections, We
6od that GA more votes were cast last
Monday than at the general election Of
1870 (93s) ; and only 60 less than at
the general election of 1871 I462),

forth every effort to bring out voters.
There is no palliation whatever. This
