But she laughed, and dozed again while
capital north and south of New York was
perfecting its mighty schemes Of CONNER
cial empire, and preparing to wrost the
sceptre Of trade from the Metropolis, and
now it is virtually too late.
The "energy and economy that will
bring all back" which the last two years
have diverted from the New York trade,
must be little grander than anything she
has lately manifested in that line, or the
frantic shrieks of her metropolitan journals
will come too late to accomplish anything,
but m;aistering to the sense of the humor-

Wish the exception Of corn, Ottertail .coun-
~ shows a yield superior in most respects
to those two great agricultural states of the
West.
Becker county abounds in lakes and run
ming streams, and it has appropriately J been
called the ''park region" Of the Northwest,
on account of the many picturesque parks
and groves, which, with the intervening
lawns and undulatng prairies, waving in
summer with luxuriant grasses, lend charm
and beauty to the landscape hardly to be
surpassed on the continent
The soil is deeper, darker and richer than
that of Ottertail The sandy element gives
place to clay and lime, which, with the great
amount Of organic matter, make it exceed
ingIy fertile.
The region west of Detroit Lake was a
solitude in 500, but it is now quite thickly
settled. Most of the desirable sections Of
Government land near the line OF the rail
road have already been taken as home
steads. This section is so desirable that
many settlers secured homes before the
lands were surveyed or offered for sale.
The Red river valley has width on the

the valley, but it is watered by the Buffalo
river and It's branches, the Wild Rice and
other streams on the Minnesota side, and
bv the Shyenne, Maple, Elm and others on
the Dakota side, while excellent water may
be had by sinking wells fifteen to twenty
feet below the surface The ground is Gov

The valley OF the Red River contains
from twelve to thirteen million acres OF the
best wheat lands on the continent-an area
large enough and sufficiently fertile to pro
duce more wheat than is now raised in the
United Smtes-and this vast acreage, by
the construction Of the Northern Pacific
railroad and the Pembina branch of the St
Paul and Pacific, is now open to the agri-
culturist.
This beautiful valley is deficient IN tim

A SERIOUS RIOT IN CINCINNATI The seed
sown by Secretary Boutwell, and others who,
like him, have striven to enlist the colored
voters as body as o distinctive political
element in this campaign, is beginning to
bring forth its legitimate fruit In Cincinnati
there are many negro residents, and the
hostile feeling excited between them and the
democrats has evidently been intense. This
animosity, it appears, last night broke
out into serious riot, in which pistols were
freely used, and several persons were seriously
if not fatally injured. 1t is impossible to
say at present how the lamentable affair
commenced, or which party was most to
blame for the collision. Our special despatch
lays the responsibility upon the negroes,
but, however this may be, the moral
is the same. The affray shows the evil effect
of exciting prejudice of race as an element
in q political campaign, and no one can
resist the apprehension that if the policy
pursued by the Boutwell, orators in the present
election is to prevail in the future the riot we
now chronicle will only be the precursor of yet
more serious and fatal disturbances

The PASSPORT SYSTEM OF PRUSSIA is to be
enforced against all citizens of France enter
ing German territory on and after the 1st day
of November next. The operation of this
antiquated quarantine against free travel will
do much to isolate the people of Alsace and
Lorraine from communion with their relatives
and friends in the Republic, and also to per-
petuate the bitter feeling which has been en-
gendered in the subjugated territory by the
result Of the war.

OHIo.-The election in the Buckeye State
to-day will be eyed with great deal Of in

zealously, but the result may be regarded as

NEBRAsKA.-All State officers, together with

The interesting letter which We published
yesterday from our special correspondent
in Tennessee accompanying the itenerant
orators showed us the energetic trio fallen
upon evil days. In view of the proprieties'
Cheatham, Maynard and johnson were
obliged to abandon the stump during the Sab
bath. but the existence of camp meeting in
the neighborhood Of Knoxville gave them
chance Of conciliating the religious interests
and doing little sly political business not to
be lost The religious test was crucial. but
there was no escape. In the present state Of
the strange triangular duel the wounding Of
any interest would certainly prove fatal to any
Of the candidates. Under these circumstances

the tents Of Israel. AN three started on the
religious race, but Andy broke down before he
reached the railway station. He arrived in
time to see his better winded brothers whirled
of TO the fields of the just, no doubt with
satisfaction at having . good excuse to
remain behind. Cheatham and Maynard
therefore had all the praying to them-
selves. and In this respect Maynard seems
to have displayed the greater staying power.
Poor Cheatham's training in the praying
line, being of the rough and ready school, was
sorely tested A child Of the camp. accus-
toned ssto swear prayer or two, then
sleep again." he made but sorry figure
among the penitents and soon gave up
the peccavi-ing in despair. Once from
under the canvas the gallant mil&aire found
himself more in his element among the young
and pretty ladies, who quilted their devo-
tions to interview the aspirant for Congress.
While Maynard was deep in his devotions the
dashing soldier was making sad havoc among
the fair portion Of the congregation, and evi-

prove vastly more useful to him than even q
reputation for piety. The peaceful charac-

the present except by oowardiy menace Of
assassination against Andy johnson; but
if the fool who made it should attempt to
put his threat into execution we hope the
oratorical tailor will brain the villain with
his goose. SO far, the triangular duel has
been fair fight, and it certainly has more Of
the element Of the droll and ludricrous than any
other incident of the campaign. We should
therefore look with horror on the man or party
who should attempt to introduce the dramatic
element into contest which has afforded the
public refuge from the dulness and prosi-
ness Of a very unpicturesque campaign.

any fixed principle Of action. The sale Of Ave
millions of gold and tho purchase of Ave
millions of bonds by the Treasury yesterday
may produce temporary good but IL Is only
an expedient that creates disturbance in values
and involves the necessity Of subsequent
expedients. Then. this action just at the
present time creates q suspicion that 1t was
for political purposes more than for any
regard to the business interests of the country.
So, also, the report. true or false, that the
Secretary of the Treasury Is about to issue
large amount of the legal-tender reserve keeps
the market in feverish state. Government in
reference has that tendency on one side as much
as the Wall street combinations have on the
other. Our whole financial system needs TO
be placed on q soid basis, so that the vast
interests of our merchants, traders and the
community generally shall neither be at the
mercy of cliques of spectators nor the caprices
of the Treasury Department.

In pressing upon regenerated Tammany the
nomination Of William Butler Duncan for Mayor
we desired to apply test to the organization.
There had been great deal Of plotting and
wire-pulling in regard to the Mayoralty,
and we suggested to Messrs. Tilden, Schell,
Kelly and their associates candidate whose
position was such as to command the respect
and confidence Of our best citizens. We are
certain that Mr.. Duncan would not accept the
Tammany nomination, or any other, unless
the reformers of the city would unite upon
him as a candidate worthy Of support. He is
too earnest and sincere a friend Of
good government to consent to divide
the reform strength and thus risk the
election Of some Objectionable nominee.
The position can be nothing to him except in
SO far as he might use it to advance the pros
perity Of the city and the interests Of the peo-
pie. Every person knows that true reform
party ought to be satisfied with Mr.. Duncan
and rejoiced at the opportunity of electing
such a citizen Mayor of the metropolis. Every
person knows that with the nomination of
Tammany and the endorsement Of the reform
ers he would be elected by an enormous major
ity if every political hack in the city should
oppose and denounce him. But if the
Committee of Seventy and the other reform
bodies choose to incur the responsibility of
refusing or withholding their endorsement
from such q candidate, we should advise Mr..
Duncan not to allow his name to be used for
the position just as strenuously as we have
heretofore urged his acceptance. In that
event the so-called reformers are bound to put
forward candidate who will succeed, or they
become answerable for the future government
Of the city, whoever may be elected.
So far as Tammany is concerned there is
good reason to suspect that the organization
is to be again given over to worse than the old
corruption There are unmistakable evi-
