The ational Banner ; S Sk T DO MINNESOTA CORRESPONDENCE. Politi¢s—Ntate Fair- Grasshoppers. . MINNEAPOLIS; SEPT. 18, 1874, To the Editor of the National Banner: The political cauldron in this State is hanging over a hotffire, and the nominees of either party are being rapidly tumbled into it and set to boiﬂl-_ ing. The air,otherwise so pure here, is filled with the stench of its exhalations. Men who prior to their nominations for office 'were regarded as paragons of purity, virtue and honor, are now being dissected, and are shown to have been all along impure, unpatriotic, disreputable, unprineipled fiends incarnate, villaing. No candidate ought to have a record or a character, or if he has either or both, of which hé is jealous, he has no business to be a candidate. To a disinterested observer, a political campaign, conducted on the principles of modern Americanism . —rule or ruin—is a thing of beauty and ought to be a joyous remembrance forever. . s On the 9th inst. the republican State convention was held here and put in nomination, by acelamation, the Hon. S. J. R. McMillen, of St. Paul, who is at present acting In that capacity, for Chief Justice of the State Supreme Court, and Gen. F. R. E. Cornell, of this city, formerly Attorney General of this State, for Associate Justice of the Supreme Bench. Both these gen- / tlemen are said to be able lawyers; and of unblemished private and public records. Judge McMillan has been on the Supreme Benel fourteen years and has the reputation of being a fine jurist: | > : i The convention was a thin one, but exceedingly harmonious. Speeches were delivered by U. S. Senators Ram- | ey and Windom, ex-Governor Austin t and Gen. Cornell. , : Senator Ramsey is a fine-looking, white-haired, portly, cherry-faced gentleman, upwards of sixty, but an exceedingly poor speaker, Ie does n’t, I believe, pride himself on his ability as a public speaker, or any oth.(jf ability worth mentioning, except his ability to hold fat offices. The old gentleman’s present term of office will expire on thr 3d of March and he is now engaged in looking up his chances as his own successor. Rumor has it that the ‘old man will have a tough time pulling through, as Governor Davis wants the position himself. Give a man thirty or forty years’ lease of “fat takes,” politically, and he is sure to want to die in office—if he dies at all. How. ungrateful Republics are, any“how! “ | S

Ex-Governor Austin would impress the stranger a 8 a man who would make a good sewing machine ot light-ning-rod agent, rather than a brilliant Governor, He is about forty years of age, with black hair, is rather delicate in appearance and a very dry speaker. Hg fills the bill exactly of Mr. Carker, Dombey & Son’s ‘manager—per Dickens. Those teeth and that grin are unmistakable, Although Gov, Austin’s term of office expired last fall, he is just beginning to come out and bids fair to gain a national reputation, born of the fact that he neglected to require ex-State Auditor Mcllrath to give the necessary bond, and the latter having been shown recently by a legislative inx_estigation to be a defaulter to the State in the sum of $lOO,OOO or more. = o !

Senator Windon/;x isavery fine speaker, easy and graceful in delivery, and handsome in facg’(and figure. eis about forty years of age, though he looks much younger, and has the reputation of being the ablest man in the State. |As chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee, he has gained a national reputation and handles that subject with marked ability. On the 10th instant ‘the republican congressional convention of this (the 3d) district. met in this city.. This convention was much more largely attended than that of the day previous. The great majority of the délegates were hard-fisted Grangers from the back counties. : i

Capt. W. 8. King, of this city, formerly postmaster of the lower house of Congress, was nominated for Congress by acclamation. Gen. John T. Averill, the present member, was also a candidate, but his record as a salary-grab-ber killed him and he hat his friends witll(hjaw his‘name for the good of' the party. ! 5 v 08

Col. King is the owner of the famous Lyndale stock farm, a few miles from this city, where he raises some of the best stock in the country. Being a short-horn breeder, a Granger, a man of great charity and public enterprise, and withall a shrewd wire-puller and scheiner of the li. Iddings stripe (whom he very much resembles in personal appearance), he is very popular with the masses. He is not a ‘man of marked ‘ability, but at the same time one who has already dotie ~much, and will do much more, to develop the resources of the State; to procure aid from Congress to improve the immense water power here (for which purpose $175,000 were appropriated at the last session) and navigation above the Falls. e is a professional lobbyist, has worked at the business for years and by that means has accumulated a large fortune. He is said to have made in this way from $200,000 to $300,000 at g single session of Congress. _His_ speech in the convention, acknowledging the honor and accepting the nomination, was good enough in itself, but his style of speakThewis comical in the extreme, The Colonel was as much embarrassed as a school-boy and his manners fully as awkward. After being introduced he placed a chair in front of himself and during the entire speech kept fondling it with his hand and shifting his right foot from the rear to the side round ‘of the chair. He read his speech from a proof-slip, which he kept rolled up —unrolling it at one end -and rolling it up at the other as he proceeded, Notwithstanding King’s unfitness in many respects, he will be -elected by a handsome majority, as he has the

stamps and cards to carry him through, | and will no doubt make an energetic and useful member for his district. THE STATE FAIR. I visited the State. Fair at St. Paul one day last week, and there I saw the finest display of blooded horses, cattle, hogs, ete., I have ever seen. Every department was elegantly arranged, and the exhibition of art, agriculture, horticulture, mechanics, ete., ete., were very fine. Mr. Vick, the noted florist of Rochester, New York, had a most elaborate display of plants and flowers of almost every description. : THE GRASSHOPPERS B have not visited this part of the State. Nothing is known of them here. The weather is quite cool. We have had a “rainy spell” of a few days and the sear and yellow leaves will soon “be hurled abroad by the angry blasts of autumn,” after which our song will doubtless be, “Cold blows the wind.” | » ’ L. H. GREEN. e —- E—- !, POLITICAL NOTES. The republican papers are making a ridiculous to-do ‘about the. defection of Governor Curtin. Governor Curtin sees a little beyond those who stand lower down. - He has stepped in out of the wet. 'When the shower descends his assailants will, a good many. of them, be glad to follow his example. The republican press are clamoring for protection to.the negro at the north, and Jefferson Davis and Gen. Forrest are clamoring for the protection to the negro at the south. .We are most happy to observe that after years of difference a point of sympathy has been at last established between such mighty opposites. ~ The Tennessee Republicans go in for civil-rights, and unmixed schools. This is a silly dodge. After the law i passed, the mixture is a matter of ;option with the negro who can enforce his claim in the courts. Separate schools are now provided for by law in Indiana, Pennsylvania and Tennessee; but separate schools do not suit the notions of advanced Re- ) publicans. ‘ :

The States of New ITampshire, Connecticut, Oregon, North Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas all voted for Grant. Theynow all give democratic majorities and some|of them very large. demoeratic majorities. Yet the radical press affects to believe there is no change of consequence. - Milton’s Lucifer, though - ferewarned, could not believe that he would be expelled from Heaven; yet he went, headlong. The greatest stumbling block in the way of business men at this time is the prospective session of tlLe Fortythird Congress. Until the turrency question is put beyond the possibility of Congressional tinkering; and money made free by.the repeal of the legaltender act, no man is safe in extending credit or making contmc?ts for future transactions. Aslongas the value of the currency is liable to change, from any cause, business is made unsafe and confidence impossible. Throughout the'country, with significant agreement, the Radicals are endorsing the course of the present Congress by renominating the men composing it. It isimpossible to give a stronger testimony that any change which is to be inaugurated in the policy of the government must be looked for outside of the republican party.— The defeat of Poland, the opposition to Negley, Garfield and others, the constantly increasing momentum of democratic assault, lead us to believe that the people of the country are generally convineed that reform can only be accomplished ' by. change. Every State election confirms this belief.— Let the democratic hosts pick up courage. : :

There are now three candidates for Congress in General Garfield’s district. The Democrats have nominated:D. R. Woods, and the disgusted Republicans R. H. Hurlbert. The bolting republican convention had strong delegations from each of the five counties that make up the district, Ashtabula, Trumbull, Geauga, Portage and Lake. The bolters represent the whole German population of these counties whieh has heretofore been the reliable ally of republicanism The republican majority in Garfield’s district is little short of ten thousand votes, but with his record to carry he may find his opponents too much for him. It is a good year for bolting and and a bad year for Credit Mcbilier and gag-law congressmen. ' 4 o The Black Hills (;Janards—-Xo Gold » There. - WASHINGTON, D. C,, Sept. 24.—Fuller and later reports received here indicate that the recent . glowing accounts from the Black ITills country are entirely unreliable and confirm the opinion of Professors Winchell, that there are no valuable minerals in that country. Colonel Fred Grant, who accompanied the expedition under special instructions to report upon its geological character, says that the rock on which it is claimed ‘gold, was discovered lis of a metamorphic charaeter, in which no precious minerals have ever been found. Not over three dollars’ worth was brought under his observation during the entire expedition, and it is a question whether this ‘'was not imported into that section.—The timber is spruce and yellow pine,. and valueless for lumber. The area of tillable lands is very small, there not being enough for a dozen goodsized farms. The Sioux Commission, lately sent to negotiate with the Red Cloud and Spotted Tail bands, went in their explorations to the base of the Black Hills on the south side, and give substantially the same views as Grant regarding the character of the country and the absence of minerals. The President is emphatic in his determination to carry out the orders of General Sheridan to prevent all invasion of this country by intruders so long as by law and treaty it is secured to the Indians. : -

The Indian service now costs over $7,000,000 for supplies and maintenance. Under Democratic administration it cost but $3,000,000 though the number of Indians was far greater. The difference represents the amount stolen by a few of the members of Grant’s 80,000 reformed civil office-holders. i :

Gov. Curtin. The accession of ex-Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, to the democratic ranks, which is now positively assured, is. not only in itself a notable event, because of the Governor’s reputation as a man of ability and distinguished honesty, but is also notable as an indication of the tendency of the better classes of Republicans towards the: democratic party. Governor Curtin’s manliness in throwing off the old party shackles will be followed this year by thousands who recognize him as a political leader of unblemished character.—T'oledo Herald. Lt [

‘Gerrit Smith in Favor of a Third Term and a Fourth.

Gerrit Smith opens his last bulletin from Peterboro with these words: “I am asked by one and another whether I am in favor of a third term for General Grant. My invariable answer is that I am in favor of anything and everything which will serve to keep the democratic party out of power.— If his renomination is essential to tihiis end, then by all means let it come—yes, and come as often as there shall be like occasion for it.” . ;

Colored people in Alabama who never saw any body of water larger than a mill-pond, are drawing government rations to-day on account of the aoverflow of the Tombigbee River last spring. The promiscuous distribution of supplies in the South will do more harm than the flood ; but such a course will fix 'the wavering allegiance of colored voters of the Republican party. There is evidently a method in the transaction, though it at first appears to be the result of careless profusion.

_Tax work originally published under the title, of TRE NEW AMERICAN CYCLOPADIA Was comple-' ted in 1863, since which time the wide circulation which it has attained in all parts of the United States, and the signal developments which have taken place in every branch of science, literatnre, and art, have induced the editors and publishers to submit 1t to an exact and thorough revision, and to issuz a new edition entitled THE AMERIOAN CYOLOPEDIA. ; Within the last ten years the progress of discovery in every department of knowledge has made a new work of reference an imperative want. | The movement of political affairs has kept pace withi the discoveries of science, and their truitful application to the industrial and useful arts and the convenience and refinement ofsociallife. Great warg and consequent revolntions have occurred, involving national changes of p&uliar moment.— The civil war of our own country, which was at its height when the last voluwme of the old work appeared, has happily been ended, and a new course of commercial and industrial activity has been commenced. Large accessions to our geographical knowl- ! edge have heen made by the indefatigable explorers of Africa. ; The great political revolutions of the last de- | cade, with the natural result of the lapse of time, have brought into public view, a multitude of new men, whose names are in every one’s mouth, and of whose lives every one is curious to know the particulari. Great battle s have been fought and important sieges maintained, ot which the details are as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in the transient publications of the day, but which ought now to take their place in permanent and authentic history. In preparing the present edition for the press it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the information to the latest possible dates, and to furnish an accurate a2ccount of the most recent discoveries in science, of every fresh production in literature, and of the newest inventionsin the practical arts, as well as to give a snecinet and original record of the progress of political and historical cvents. § The work has been begun atter long and care. ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample resources for carrying it on to a successful termination. None of the original stereotype plates have been used, but every page has been printed on new type, forming in fact a new Cyclopadia with the same plan and compass as ils predecessor, but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with such improvements in its composition as have been suggested Yy longer experience aud enlarged knowledge. : : . The illustrations which are introduced for the first time in the present edition have been added not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give greater {ucidity and force to the explanations in the text. They embrace all branches of explanations in the text. They embrace all brancges of science and of natural history, and depict the most famous and remarkable feature of scenery, architecture, and art, as well as the various processes of mechanics and manufactures. Although intended for instruction rather than embellishment, no.pains have been spared to insure their _artistic excellence; the cost of their execution is enormous, and it is believed they will find a welcome reception as an admirable feature of the Oyclopadia, and worthy of it high character. This work 15 80ld to Subscribers only, payable on delivery of each yolume. It will be completed in sixteen large octavo volumes, each coutaining about 800 Pages. fully illustrated with several thousand Wood Engravings, and with numerous colored Lithographic Maps. - Price and Style of Binding. : I .extea Cloth, per vol.y. -l ceiiciio [0 $5OO In Library Leather, per v 01.................. 600 In Half Turkey Moroceo, per v 01.,... ........

Walker's Califorzia Yinegar Bitters are a purely Veg etable preparation. made chietly from the nutiv? herbs found on the lower ranges ofithe Sierra Nevada mountains. of California,. the medicinal - properties of which are extracted therefrom witgiout the nse of Aleohol. The question s almost daily asked, “ What is the cause of the unpa alleled success of VINEGAR BrrCTERS 2 Our answer ds/-that they remove the -cause-of disease,’ and the patien* secovers his health. They ~are the great .blood purifier and a life-giving: principle, a perfect Renovator and [nvigorator of the system. . Never before in the history of the world has a medicine been compeunded possessing the remarkable qualities of VixEGAR BiTTERs in lealing the sick of every disease man is heir to. They are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonie, ‘relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious : Diseases The properties of Dr. WALKER'S VINEGAR BIrTERS are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irritant, SHudorific, Alterative, and Anti-Bilious Grateful Thousands proclaim ~ VINEGAR BITTERS the most wonderful Invigorant that. ever sustained -the sinking system. No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. : Bilious, Remittent, and Intermittent Fevers, which arciso vrevalent in the valleys of our gréat rivers throughout the, United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkansas, Red, Colo- - rado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro- - anoke, James, .and . many others, with their vast tributaries, through- - out our entire counfry during the Summerand Autumn, and remarka= bly so during seasons of unusual " heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive derangements of the stomach and liver, and -other abdominal viseera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these various organs, is essentially. necessary. There is no cathartie for the purpose ~equal to DR. J. WALKER'S VINEGAR Birrrers, as they will speedily remove the dark-colored yiscid matter with which the bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the sceretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy fune- | tions of the digestive organs. - Fortify the body against disease by purifying all its fluids with - VINEGAR Brrrers. No epidemic can take hold of a system thus }gx'e-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Headache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpita-' tion of the Heart, Inflammation of the Luugs, Pain in the region of the Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, : are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bot‘tle” will prove a better guarantee of its merits than g lengthy advertisement, Serofula, or King’s Evil, White Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, . - Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial affections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, “Sore Eyes, etc. In these, as in all other constitutional Diseases, WALKER'S VIN"EeAR Brrrers have shown thelr great cuyative powers in the most obstinate and intractable cases, : » For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Discases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, “these Bitters have no equal. Such Di eases are caused by Vitiated Blood' Mechanical Diseases.—<Persc.s . engaged in Paints and Minerals, such as Plumibers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters and Miners, as they advance in life, are subjeet to paralysie of the Bowels., To gnapd - against this, take a dose. of WALKER'S VINEGAR BITTERS occasionally. e ~ For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tetter, Salt-Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustiiles, Boils, Carbuncles, Ringworms, Scald-head, Sere Eyes, Erysipelas, Ttch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the - Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name er nature, aro literally “dug up and carried ont of the system in a short time by the use of these Bitters. - Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so mgny theusauds, are effectually destroyéd and removed. No system of medicine, no vermifuges, no gnythelminities will {ree thyg system from worms like these Bittors. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood, orthe turn of life, these Ton-— ie Bitters display so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood . wheénever you find its‘Pinmillrii'i(]:s l)ux;a_'ting ~ through the skin in Pimples, Eryptions E)ll} Sofebs; cleanse it {sh.ma you ﬁm?it-n\bi structed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse -it when it is foul; your feelings will tell you when.
