The Republicans of Dakota have nominated John & Raymond, of Fargo, for Congress. Ai cotonuAK lias been issued by represen&vtives of the Civil -service League of Boston and vicinity, signed by many prominent persons; Charles Francis Adams, Jr., and Paul Chadbourne leading, asserting thatel vilservice reform is the great question of the day, claiming the present system of filling the public offices is dishonest and degrading, and avowing a determination to support no candidate for Congrc-ss who is not an aggressive supporter of the change, which they deem to be necessary. An election was held in Maine on Monday, Sept. 11, for Governor and other State officers, members of Congress and members of the State Legislature. Returns received up to this writing indicate that tho Republicans elected their entire State ticket by a' majority of not less than 7,000 all four of the members of Congress, and gained several seoH in the Legislature. GENERAL. - The United States Commissioners appointed to examine 200 mile of the Northern Pacific road recently completed will report very favorably on its construction. One of the parties is H.

A bold robbery was perpetrated at Winnipeg, Manitoba, in broad daylight The teller of the Merchants' Bank, Mr. Young, had stepped out of the bank for a moment to attend to some business, and was not at any time more than six or eight feet away. While he was ont it seems that two men were standing near the desk. One of them had a newspaper in his hand, which he pretended to be reading. He held the paper in such a way as to screen his companion from view. In this position the companion, it is supposed, pushed a little door underneath open, and, getting partly under the counter, reached up and grasped a large package of money out of a .drawer. This done, they left the bank-in an easy-going manner, and made good their escape. The amount secured by the rascals is stated to be 910,000. Thus far 1882 has been an extraordinary year for fires. The estimated losses in the United States for the eight months foot up more than 4fll.000.000, or $7,000,000 more than the average for four years. The Department of Agriculture at Washington estimates the total wheat yield (winter and spring of the United States at

Sparks, of Clinton, was made temporal-- Chairman, and upon taking tho chair declared that the Democratic party wanted no discriminating legislation; tlint it lxiUovod in the greatest liberty to the individual man, and would not attempt to dictate what a man should eat or what he should wear. This anti-prohibition sentiment was loudly applauded. The temnorarv onraniiation was

. completed bv the election of W. .1. Mize. of

Moultrie, as Secretary, and assistants as follows: J. J. Crowley nn'd Joseph C. Mackin, Of Cook; J. W. Howard, of Vermillion. After the appointment of the usual committees, a ' recess was voted. Upon reassembling, the Committee on j Credentials reported no representation from I eight counties, and a resolution was adopted ' authorizing any Democrat from those eoun- ; ties to cast the voto of the county.

The reading I was followed by cheers, and it was adopted ' with a hurrah: ' 1. That the Democratic party of the State of I Illinois, in convention assembled, reattlrm the j great principles which are the foundation ot tns ; government, among which are equal Tights to all : and exclusive privileges to none; protection of i the weak against the encroachments of the : strong; equal taxation; free speech; a frse . press; free schools, and, first of all, a free and Incorruptible ballot. 2, That We favor honest reform in tlx- civil service, and denounce the extortion of large sums :' of money from officeholders to corrupt the ballot I and control elections as the most threatening, as it is the most insidious, danger that beset, a free government, and the shameless resort to i such methods by the National Republican Com- : mittee and by the Republican repudiation coalltion in Virginia evinces utter abandonment of : principle, and meets our unqualified coiidem- . nation. ' 3. That we denounce the reckless extravagance j and j.roniitucy of the Republican party in the appropriation of the public treasury, as maniI tested daring the last session of Congress, which i increased the appropriations for the enrrent f.s- ' col year over those ot the past year, made by a ! Democratic Congress, to the enormous extent of ; t78,WX,OUU. 4. That we extend onr heartiest sympathy to ; the Irish people ia the struggle for their rights , in which they are now engaged, and recognize in . their persistent efforts to obtain their freedom, despite the dungeon and all the other infamous I appliances characteristic, ot BritisU rule over I Ireland, a love ot liberty which is unparalleled in history and sheds a ray of glory upon toe ' Irish national character, commending it to the

That we are In favor of the reduction of Federal taxation to the lowest point cousif t- ! ent with the wants of the Government under i an honest and economical administration of I Its affairs, and that such taxes be so adjusted

as to secure an equitaoie uistrtbuuon of the burdens. 1. The Republican party of the State has proved false to the pledges il has made to the people; with not a cent of bonded debt against the State, taxes for the past year have been onethird greater than the preceding year. The various boards of the State institutions have been used more to advance the interests of the Republican party than for the care and comfort of the unfortunate men, women and children committed to their charge. The various Radical State officials are surrounded by numbers of unnecessary clerks and attendants, whose salaries arc paid from the State treasury. The humiliating spectacle Is presented of the Governor of the Btato saying in his annual message that the sum of 1,000,000 would lie amplo to pav all the expenses ot the State for two years, and the same Governor approving bills passed by the

iiepnoucan usgisiaturc appropriating nearly f 7,000,000 for snch expenses, and the large fund received annually from the Illinois Central Railroad Company under the wise provisions of a law effected by a Democratic Legislature, in

And we hereby declare that there is no power given by i the constitution to Congress to leiy a tariff or I tax on the people for the purpose of protection, without reference to revenue, i 10.

He inquired if It would bo proper at this time to present to tho court the additional information in his possession as to the approacliee that had been made to tho jury. Judge Wylie replied that this was not the time nor tun occasion for anything of the sort. Tlie mutter would bo investigated by the law officers of the Government at the proper tima He had been told that certain scoundrels hml attempted this abominable and censurable Crime, and when an examination took place, if the charge was proven, ho would punish the scoundrel, provided a jury could bo fouud to convict him. l-'oremnn Diokson was approached as to how the jury had voted, and stated substantially that there were twelve ballots taken, and that after the fourth ballot there were no changes from the verdict ns announced in court Tho vote stood as follows on

tho last ballot: To convict Brady, 10; to acquit, 'J (Messrs. Diokson and Brown). To convict John W. Dorsey, 10; to acquit, 2 (Messrs. Brown and Hohncad). To convict Stephen W.

Alleged Attempts to Brine Uie Jury Sensational Disclosure by Voreman Dickson. Foreman Dickson's attention having been called to a published interview with Merrick, iu which ho made remarks reflecting upon his Integrity, DickRon replied: "Well, Itufiiysuit Merrick to fret and fume aud say unkind an:l unjust things about men who were swirn to perform their datv and performed that tiust in a fearless and conscientious manner according to their honest conviction of law and evidence. But if lie will turn his attention to tho Department of Justice, of which he is now an officer, and purify tliH atmosphere of that institution and aid in exposing attempted bribery charges and the corrupt practices of his sulKirdinatos, he will do the Government good service. No one has a hiirhcr appreciation of Merrick than I have, and I have ever prized his friendship, and doubt if he Is aware of the damnable transactions which have occurred since the commencement of the star-route cases. A system of espionage was established by the Department of Justice, and In that employ were a number of disreputable persons, prominent among them a man under iiHUotment for robbery, and a selfconfessed participant in three-card monte ca-ies lately i vanished iu our court by the conviction of the men against whom this party turned State's evidence. The jurors were followed, and decoys of various kinds adopted to insnaro them into the commission of a wrong act Efforts were frequently made to draw them iuto conversation upoh the merits ot the cose. 1 have received a numlier of anonymous letters, and marked papers were daily sent me, all containing mutter intended to influence the mind. "Malicious lies were circulated and published about the jury being seen lunching with defendants and drinking at their expense, ail of which were false. Intimidations of every character were resorted to, aud systematic attempts mode to terrorize the jury by threatening them. Some of them were charged with drunkenness. One of them, Holmead, informed me early in the proceedings that a lawyer -named Falls had Interviewed him, telling him he was an officer of tli Department of Justice, and had (le.ured hint to ascertain by watching my notes, as I jotted down tiie salient paints of testimony, arid report to him their import He told Holmead he was authorized to act by the Attorney General, and was assigned to look after him; that it was a question whether Judge Freeman or Falls should be delegated to take care of Holmead. and finally It was decided te appoint Falls. He urged Holmead to act with him and aid him with information, and said it would result in his (FnUs') advancement, and that Holmead would lose nothing by it I cautioned Holmead when ho told me, in June, to pay no attention to Falls, nr any one who attempted to mislead bint Falls repeated his visit to Holmead at intervals and renewed his efforts to inveigle hint until Holmead threatened to kick 1dm out of his store. Onr places of business were invaded by 'spotters; our employes were solicited to tell who we convoked with, aud what our sentiments were on too subject of the trial; and our wives were not sale from interviewers and overzealous agents. The first personal knowledge I had of the presence or a 'jury -fixer' was when Henry A. Bowen made a proposition to mci to convict the defendants, and promised me -'5,0.)0. His cool audacity was charming, and he unhesitatingly exhibited to mo his letters Of appointment as a Special Agent of the Department of Justice. A Washing son telegram states that Attorney General Brewster has directed the Goven'iment counsel, by a telegram from Newport to malic preparations for a speedy retrial of the defendants, upon whom the jury failed to agree. He also authorised the recall of Mr. Brewster Cameron from San Francisco if it was found necessary to clear up the alleged bribery of Foreman Dickson.
