ALBANY, Jan. 19.-.That President is TO be
elected this year is palp1be in much of the conver-
satlOn OF the members Of the Legislature with one
another. All things are supposed to take their bear
ing from that fact-the Governors appointment and
nomination to the Senate Of State officers the make
up of the committees of the houses and the egisa-
tion of all kinds that planned about the cities Of
New-Yor1 and Brooklyn, about the railroads, about
insurance companies, about the taxation and assess
mcnt Of property, ETC. Locally, also, there has been
eruption of political feeling, probably from be-
lief that political fireworks let off here sure TO
attract the gaze of politicians throughout the State.
Within a month prominent Republicans have
formed three clubs, all of which are intended TO
be used to affect the choice of delegates to the Chi
cago Convention. These are Grant Club -" and
an Anti -Thrd-Term Club"-whose names indicate
their character-and " Republican 1880 Club"
which was organized ostensibly to gain control of
the local Republican organization. In reality. tho
ast-named club will work to bring about the cleo
tion of two unpledSed delegates from this Congress
sional District to the National Convention, while
the Grant Club will put forth all its strength
through the local organization-which it controls
at present-to secure the election of two delegates
pledged to Grants support There will be an earn
est struggle at the primaries over this matter be-
tween the three organizations.
The Republicans of the Legislature share in the
differences of opinion about candidates that exist
among the Republicans of the clubs mentioned 1t
is the belief of politicians that these differences
representing as they do political opinion prevailing
in every part of the State-will render impossible

Republican members of the Senate and AS

Presidency. The result of this inquiry is given
below. Interviews were had with twenty-four
out of twenty-five Republican Senators and
with eighty out of ninety-one Republican
Assemblymen. Eleven Senators and fifteen AS
semblymen were nOn-committal. OF the rest q
large proportion have decided preferences
which they do not hesitate to express. Grant
leads largely; but it is noticeable that those
who are against him with those non-committal
are in majority.

RED on by the j. Bennett Smith mining COM
pany, an organization in which several st.
Paul, Pine City aud Philadelphia parties are
associated with the Mr.. Smith whose name is
given to the company and who is superintend-
ing its work. The locality in which Mr..
Smith is operating is on the bank of and near
Snake river, about fur and half miles cast
erly from Pine City and about one and a half
miles from old ChengwatOnna. Here numbFr
of prospect holes have been sunk to as far
below the water level as they could be carried
without pumps. and two or three carloads of
copper ore, a black oxide, have been piled up,
to be sent to some smelling furnace for me-
cbanical and mercantile assay. Several chem
ical assays have been made, all favorable in
their results. The latest was made by a Ger
man metal urgist and chemist, who pronounces
the ore of character to be easily and cheaply
reduced and containing not less than 8 per
cent. of pure copper. Mr.. Smith, the superin-
tendent, is confident of the value of his dis
covery and says that when the mercantile tests
are made the company will at once
invest 100000, part of which
will be expended in building
the proposed spur track for carrying the pro-
ducts of the mine to the st. Paul and Duluth
road. If his anticipations are realized it will
not be Long before other euterprising compan
les will follow their examples and The mineral
resources Of northeast Minnesota will then be

Word was received here yesterday of a stab
bling ARRAY at Morristown. in this county.
Tuesday night. The particulars, as related to
US, are as follows: Ben Wheeler, house and
sign painter, of Morristown, and young
farmer named Owen Doud, had been drinking
very freely during the afternoon ard towards
evening Wheeler said he was going home.
This Doud objected to and one word led on to
another till at last Doud called Wheeler an
approbrous epithet. Wheeler struck him to
the ground and pulled knife, making several
attempts to strike him. but in some way his
blows were warded off and the farmer received
only slight cut on his hip.

The GLOBE and Pioneer-P Press have fallen
into great error in regard to the wheat yield
of this county. The extract copied from the
Reuie,o in the report of ''the southwestern
counties, referred to the crop of 1879 and not
1880 as published. The hail storm of 1879 sweep
ing across the county from west to east, dimin-
lshed the crop of many of our heaviest wheat
growing to Rns to five and six bushels and in
one instance to about two bushels. In conse-
quence the average of the county was reduced
to something over eight bushels. The estimate
of the crop of 1880 is Is bushels, and the
threshers reports coming in confirms that es-
innate. We have had but single report I'M
der ten bushels, and that of small field, while
large farmers report Is, Is and some 20 bush
els per acre, and almost invariably No. l.
RUN OVER AND KILLED.
Patrick Toben, recently employed as track
layer on the Tracey branch of the Winona
road, was run over and killed by the western
bound freight train on the st. Paul & Sioux
City road, due here at 2 o clock in the morning.
The engineer saw the body on the track when
the engine was within hundred feet, sounded
the alarm, and says he saw the man raise bis
head twice. The engine carried him couple
of hundred feet before the b dy was pulled
under the wheels. when four or five cars had
passed over his breast, mangliug him in a
frightful manner, and csusing instant death.
He had been drinking during the day, and was
probably under the influence of liquor when
he lay down ON the track. He was about 81
years old. and had been married but divorced.
His parents reside at Granville, Wis, and are
said to be in good circumstances. Coroner
inquest is to be held this afternoon.
