LETTER FROM MINNESOTA.

Editor of the Monitor: One of your
locals with whom l correspond has often
asked me to write for the MONITOR an
occasional letter from this city of the
Northwest. / have made various excuses
and delays, till now he urges it on ac-
count of my old acquaintance in Orleans
County; therefore without any formal
introduction to yourself or the MONITOR,
1 make my bow and send my greeting
to my friends.
1t is always in place to talk or write
about the weather, and such as we have
had during the winter thus far is worth
mentioning. December and January
were pleasant and not very cold, except
the LIST and I'd days of January, when
the thermometer indicated 290 below
zero. AS yet we have had but little
snow, not enough to make good sleighing
at any time. During the last of January
the streets were dry and dusty. A cor
respondent in the southern part of the
State writes, awe have not had any
snow this winter" A gentleman who
has desk in the same Office with my
own is engaged in locating pine lands,
and has had man in the woods most of
the time since Nov. l. His field has
been about fifty miles north of Lake Su-
perior. He had only been in from the
woods once previous to this week. He
goes alone carrying his pack of provis-
ions, a compass, light ak, a blanket,
and cotton tent-cloth. During tn e day
he locates land, and makes note of the
pine growing on it; at night builds a
fire in front of the open end of his tent,
cooks and eats his supper, and then with
boughs for bed, blanket for covering,
and Gotten tent for protection sleeps
with comfort till time to make his morn
ing fire. A more healthy looking man
never walked the streets of any city. |

there is no need till he gets wife, when
he proposes to take out a policy in her

noblemen.
1t appears that the weather is not
only good topic for introduction, but it
has led me to the pine woods, and if l

Going Behind the Returns.
From the N. Y. Express.

From the N Y. Express.
Prior to the State canvass. lit was known
that, upon the face of the returns, Mr..
Hosklns had majority of between two
aud three hundred votes, and that, except
Mr.. Soule, all the other Republican State
officers had greater majorities. Upon
the meeting OF the board, the members of
which were themselves candidates, aud
were thus prevented by delicacy from
raising any question in their own behalf.
General Faulkner. the chairman of the
Democratic State Committee, inquired OF
the board if they would receive proof OF
errors and lilegalities at certain polls,
which, 1t established, would justify the ex
clusion of the returns from those points.
This board at once intimated that they
had no power to do this, or to so behind
the returns. General Faulkner then tele-
graphed Mr.. Potter-as he was the person
most deeply affected by the question-for
his opinion; and Mr. Potter. as promptly
and frankly as If his certificate did not
depend upon the action of the board, re-
piled that the board had no right to go
behind the returns to consider the ohjec-
ton suggested.
The board then completed the canvass,
and Mr.. Hoskins and the other Repubii-
cans, except Soule, were declared elect
ed. And yet the illegalities suggested
by General Faulkner were exactly
such as the Board Of Canvassers
n Florida went behind the returns
of that state TO investigate, aud thereby
gave the vote of the state to Hayes; and
the power given the board OF canvassers
in Florida is by the laws of that state the |
same, and no greater than that given our |
state board by the laws of New York. 1t |
IF X 10
decided the action of the Florida board |
was unlawful but notwithstanding that |
decision Mr.. Hayes holds his seat by their |
action. Nevertheless they were wrong, |
and it is to the credit of the Democrats |
board OF New York that they were rnwill- |
ing to follow the precedent thus set.
Out Of nearly 1000 defective votes for |
lieutenant governor, only II were returned |
as cast. Of these, were intended for |
Mr.. Hoskns and allowed him, aud 10 for |
Mr.. Potter, Of which were allowed him |
The others were not returned except under |
the general designation Of defective"
and II was therefore impossible to asoer- |
tain what they are. The law requires that |
10 the case of state officers the defective |
votes should be returned to the state |
board that it may pass upon them. and |
had this been done, it is altogether prob |
able that they would have found more |
than votes enough. which could have been |
properly allowed, to give MIR. Potter the |
certificate.
