Dorset denies that Republicans employed illegal or dishonest means to carry the Indiana election. He also denied, a few years ago, that the basis of his present fortune was formed from the profits accruing from an infamous traffio. One denial is as good as the other, and neither is worth a fig. The last bone of contention between the The last bone of contention between the two Demoeratio factions in New York city seems to have been disposed of by the nomination of a city ticket that meets with the approval of the conventions of both Tammany and Irving Halls. This assures a majority for the Democratic ticket in the metropolis of at least seventy thousand, and nothing can prevent a majority for Hancock in the State of forty thousand or more.

The storm that visited Minnesota recently was not confined to the borders of the State, but seems to have raged with equal or greater violence in more southern latitudes. Bu little damage was done in this State, though the storm was a phenomenal one, but on the lower lakes tbe disasters have been numerous. Upon the whole Minnesota seems to have suffered less than almost any other equal extent of territory north of the Ohio river. The threatened prosecution of the Irish land leaguers has apparently frightened Parnell and his associates who are now singing somewhat small. They snpposed their inslduous revolutionary schemes would esoape governmental attention, but the late agrarian outrages, stimulated, the defiant attitude of the land league, has precipitated a crisis that bids fair to obliterate the land league and land some of its prinoipal advocates behind prison bars.

Hebe is a nice pair of ducks. Garfield has been convicted of receiving bribes of $329 in the Credit Mobilier business and $5,000 in consideration of his vote in favor of the DeGolyer pavement contract. On both -counts the witnesses and jurors were his own politioal friends. Arthur was dismissed from offioe because of his bad management, favoritism to pat importers, and because of flagrant disobedience of the lavs Vote for these men, citizens, if you admire them or their characteristics.

Garfield announced him self distinctly in favor of monorchism. He said: I believe the fame of Jefferson is wsninp and that of Alex. Hamilton increasing, and that we are drifting towards a stronger government, and I am glad we are. It will be remembered that Jefferson was the ohampion of a republican form of government and Hamilton of a monarchy. Garfield is therefore the representative of monarchists as opposed to democracy.

DEATH OF CHIEF JUSTICE RYAN. The telegraph announces the death of Hon. Edward G. Ryan, chief justice of the supreme oourt of tho State of Wisoonsin, at the age of three so are years and ten. Born in Ireland he came to this country when twenty yoars of age, and six years later was admitted to the bar in New York.

He at once removed to the West, locating in Chicago, whioh was then the Mecca of all young men in search of fame and fortune. Here he engaged for a brief season in the practice of the law. Having a taste for literary pursuits he, with one or two others, started the Chioago Tribune, whioh Mr. Ryan edited with great ability for some months. Wearying of the ill-success of the enterprise he turned it over to other bands, and removed to Milwaukee, where he soon attained prominence as an attorney and obtained a lucrative praotice.

Naturally of an irracible temperament be was easily rendered morose and ill-natured, and when domestio afflictions coupled with ill-health overtook him he became so irritable that few could transaot business with him, and he eventually lost nearly all his praotice and was reduced to poverty. When in this condition the death of Chief Jnstioe Byron Paine created a vacancy on the supreme benoh, and the bar of the united in a petition for his appointment. He was appointed by Gov. Taylor in 1874, and was re eleoted to the offioe two years afterwards without opposition. Judge Byan was a remarkable man in many respects.

He possessed a powerful physical frame and a mind of no common order. He was all his life a close student, and possessing a remarkable memory he was enabled to illustrate even his impromptu arguments by apt historical referenoes. seldom indulged in pleasantries, the few jokes be perpetrated being too strongly tinctured with the gall of his disposition to be appreciated by those at whose expenae they were perpetrated. When enlisted in a case he threw his whole soul into it, and excoriated his opponents in the most terrific manner. He was the counsel for the State in the famous impeachment trial in 1865, in which Judge Levi Hubbell' was arraigned before the Senate for high crimes and misdemeanors, and made one of the ablest oratorioa efforts ever heard in the West.

A master of Invective, he hurled his terrible phiiiipics at the head of the delinquent judge nntil he quailed in abject terror. Such an excoriation was never before administered to human being. Its very vindiotiveness was one of the causes of the acquittal of the judge. In many 'other notable causes be distinguished himself for his oratorical abilities, and was esteemed to be one of the most as. tate lawyers of the Early in the war Justice Byan wrote and issued the famous Byan address that created so great a commotion throughout the coun- try.

Though speaking in the name of a portion of the Democratic party, he really bad scarcely any following in bis violent opposi. tion to tbe war and the administration of President Lincoln. He made many enemies by this address, and was the subject of muoh denunciation from both the press and the people. Ryan was personally an honest man. As a jurist his record is without a blemish.

His decisions were always carefully prepared and exhibited not only vigor of intellect and foroe of expression, but great legal acumen and learning. His death will prove an irreparable loss to the legal fraternity and to the bench. A ROYAL MESALLIANCE. The telegraph announces definitely the marriage of the Czar Alexander, of Russia, to his mistress, the Prinoess Dolgorouki. It is not, like many marriages of Earopeon potentates, a Morganatic alliance, but the genuine artiole, and the princess has the right to claim the title of the Empress of Russia.

Her ohildren have been legitimatized, and invested with titles befitting their new rank. It is scarcely two months sinoe the empress was laid away to rest, and this early marriage with a person who had previously held illicit relations with the emperor would be apt to create a great scandal at any court where the standard of morality was not as low as in Russia. As it was it piqued the Grand Dukes Oonstantin and Wladimir, but the Grand Duke Nicholas wag present and gave bis sanction to the nuptials. It is not probable, however, that the czar will again exercise bis imperial powers, but will retire to one of his palaces, giving his eldest son oontrol of the government. There is something of romance in the relations of the czar and his new bride.

They met some twelve years ago, and the emperor fell madly in love at first sight, for she was extremely beautiful. He established her in regal apartments, and for the past ten years has passed more time in her sooiety than iv that of the empress. During the war with Turkey the prinoess was the constant companion of tbe emperor when he took the field, and their intimaoy created a good deal of talk in tbe camp. Her infiaence over ber royal lover was boundless, and for years she has been almost as great a power in Russia as Madame de Pompadoaf was in France in the time of Louis XV. Though it is a love match it is not one that even the lax morality of the Russians will fully approve.

This fair, nnder the special auspices of Father Gallagher's parisb, was in full blast last night in the Sixth ward but a little over a block from the end of the bridge. When a Globe reporter visited the soene, early in the evening, the building was crowded with a gay throng of both sexes, and all were enjoying themselves to the top of their bent. The members of the Great Union band kindly donated their services to render the occasion pleasant by playing choice selections of music in tneir best manner. Tbe tables, spread with all the delioacies of the season, the beautiful decorations at the different booths, the joyous laughter of happy ohildren, the gay chatter -of the elder ones of the happy company, all combined to form a scene of pleasure and enjoyment very gratifying to witness.

'V '-Z Judge Nelson Temporarily Denies the Ap- plication of the Moorhead Barnesville plication of the Moorhead A Barnesville Bailroad Company for Appointment of Condemn ft Bight of Way Across the Northern Paoifio United States Circuit Court, Minnesota District. In the matter of the petition of the Barnesville Moorhead railway company for the appointment of commissioners to ap- praise right of way. October, 1880.

WW-1 This matter was removed from tho State court and now oomea before this court upon the application of the petitioners to the coutt to proceed with the appointment of commissioners, etc Bigelow, Flandrau A Clark and R. B. Galusha for petitioner. Gilman Olongh for respondent, the Northern Pacifio railway oompany. The Barnesvilla Moorhead Railway company, organized under the general railroad laws of the State of Minnesota, 'commenced proceedings under title 1, chap.

34, Young's Minn, to obtain by condemnation of crossing over the track of the Northern Paoifio road, at or near Moorhead, in the county of Ol ty, and the land necessary for that purpose. The power to acquire by condemnation a crossing is granted by chapter 80, section 1, Minnesota session laws of 1879, and by seotion 3 the proceedings to obtain the land shall be instituted and eonduoted in the same manner as other similar proceedings by railroad companies under the general statutes above alluded to with same reservations, which are not important here. 'i A petition stating the object and amount of land, to be taken was filed accordance with the statutory provisions for the appoint' ment of tbree commissioners to ascertain and report on the compensation, and presented to the district court of the Slate of Minnesota in and for the county where the laud and crossing are situated proper notice given as required. At the time of the hearing, Sept. 28, 1880, the Northern Pacific Bailroad com- pany appeared by counsel and filed a petition stating inter alia that it will suffer damage to a greater amount than $1,000, that it is a com- pany created and existing by virtue of certain acts of the Congress of the United taching them with the aot of the' State of Minnesota giving the company the right to build a railroad across the I State to its petition, and alleges "that it haa a de- fense arising nnder the laws of the United States to-wit: That it is a corporation of the United States created' and existing as afore- said and holds its right of way, rights and property nnder tbe acts of Congress aforesaid, and that the State of Minnesota has no power to confer upon any person or corporation the right to enter npon the Same or to take the same in the manner, proposed by tbe said proceedings.

Wherefore yonr petitioner, the Northern Pacific Bailroad company, prays that the said proceedings be removed into the circuit court of the United States for the district of Minnesota, and that this court proceed no further therein." A bond with sureties that the Northern Pacific Bailroad company will enter in the United States Circuit conrt, on the first day of tbe next session thereof hereafter to be bolden, a oopy of the record in tbe said suit and proceeding, accompanied the petition, and Was filed. The Distriot court of the State made the following order: Ordered that the application of the Nor- them Pacifio Bailroad company to remove the said proceedings into the Circuit oourt of the United Staies for the District of Minnesota be, and tbe same hereby is granted, and that no fnrther proceedings in this matter be had in thin conrt. By the court, "Ootober 6, 1880. O. P.

Steabns, Judge." Tbe Barnesville Moorhead railway Co. have procured a properly certified oooy of the reoord in the State court, and filed it in the United States circuit court, Oot. 18, 1880, the next regular session of the court being on the 2d Monday of December, and on this copy jof the record asks the court to proceed with the condemnation of the crossing and the necessary land, eto. The Northern Paoifio railroad company objects to tbe jurisdiction of the court to pro- ceed in the matter at this timo. The right is given by the statute to the Northern Pacific railroad company, whose land is to be condemned and track crossed to sbow cause on the hearing for the appointment of commissioners against granting the prayer of the petition, and any of the facta therein contained may be disproved, and the oourt shall hear the proofs and allegations of the parties and if satisfied tbat the publio interests require the crossing to be made and the lands, to betaken are necessary for pur- pose, it shall make an order appointing three commissioners to ascertain the amount to be paid by the petitioning corporation to I persons interested.

An appeal is allowed from tbis appraisement of the commissioners to be prosecuted in the court where their roport is filed, and it is to be submitted toa jury to re! assess the damages awarded, eto. Whether the proceeding, as shown by the reoord presented, is essentially political its character and not judicial, and whether it is a suit within the meaning of the seoond section of the removal act of 1875, it is not necessary, at this time, to determine. All parties appear to agree that it is a suit or proceeding which I can be removed from the State court, and I shall not on this application consider the question. The only point to be decided is: Has the federal court at this time jurisdiction bo as to proceed with the matter? lam inclined to the opinion that onV filing the petition in the State court, making a proper case for removal, and executing and filing the bond required, jurisdiction attaches in the circuit court, and when at any time it is known by the federal court tbat such steps have been taken in the State court for removal, either by a copy of the record being filed, or; entered therein before the time required by the statute, many incidental proceedings may be taken, and provisional remedies as attachments, may be granted on motion, as could be done after the commencement of suit I by original process and appearance of tbe defendant. but the cause cannot proceed until tbe limited time has expired and the transcript entered.

Suoh interpretation of the removal acts has support in the opinion of the supreme court of the United States when construing sec. 641, of the revised statutes, involved in the case of Virginia vs. Rives, 10 Otto, 816. There 2is a declaration in that section similar to the one in the aot of 1875, that "upon filing of the petition (no bond being- required; all further proceedings in the State oourt shall cease. The language of the act of -1875 is: "The Btate court sball accept the petition and bond and proceed no further I in such and tbe court say on page 317: "It is a material inquiry whether the petition of the defendants seta forth suoh facts as made a case for removal, and consequently arrested tbe jurisdiction of: the State court and transferred it to the federal court," thus implying that: the federal court acquired jurisdiction ipso facto on filing petition and bond.

So also in the "Removal Cases" reported on page Otto, the court say: the act of Congress requires security tbat tbe transcript shall be filed on the first day, it nowhere appears that the circuit court is to be deprived of jurisdiction, if by acci tent the party -is delayed until a later day in the term. If the circuit: court, for good cause shown, accepts the transfer after the day. aqd during the term, its jurisdiction will, as a general rule, be complete, and the removal properly I understand from the opinions -of the court in these cases that when the jurisdiction of tbe State court ceases that of the federal court attaches for same purposes on entering a copy of tbe record, so that tha court may know the facts, but the jurisdiction of the federal court is not complete so as to hear and determine the canse, although a transcript is filed, until on the day prescribed in the statute or after, if the court accepts it. (Bee Dillon ion removal of causes, p. 71, 4th Sawyer.) In as muoh as the I next proceeding in the case in hand is for the defendant to contest the facts in the petition, I am of the opinion' the oourt cannot at this time entertain it.

Last night the oity engineer announced that the upper bridge wonld be opened; to publio travel, the repairs having been fnlly completed according the instructions of the bridge committee of the city council. The expense of the same has been some $100. Still the engineer refuses to acknowledge the bridge as perfectly safe.

-ZX. The election officers were busy yesterday in preparing the poll lists for the coming elections. Only a few applications were made for registration and there are no indications yet of an unusually large vote in November. Legal voters, who are not registered, will have but one chance more, on Tuesday next, of placing their names on the Int. Despite the unpleasant weather, travel seems not to lull much.

Arrivals at the Nicollet house yesterday; were unusually large. On the register were H.i Briard, New York; John B. Gutb, Boston; Saeger, J.B. Comstock, Worcester, T. Crowell, Muscatine; W.

D. Cumings, Pittsburgh; L. N. Mean, Chicago; J. B.

Close, England. Yesterday afternoon Joseph White, a young man for some time employed in the Washburn flouring milla. received a severe injury while performing one of hia duties. He was in the aot of throwing a belt off when" the caught in the belt, and the handle was violently torn from his grasp, flew to the floor and rebounding struck him a heavy blow across the left eye. It inflicted a bad cut.

Thomaa Lambert, a prisoner who waa thwarted in furtive attempt to escape from the county jail a month since, has-finally made good his esoape. He was detailed to the stone pile: Monday, and, after eating his I dinner, secreted under the bunk until after the otber prisoners had gone to the pile, when he easily got Search has been instituted for the fugitive, but without success. yyy While coupling oars in the yard of the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul railroad about 1 o'clook yesterday morning, William Denovan, a brakesman, was caught between the two cars and almost fatally injured. His-breast was terribly crushed, while be sustaired dangerous injuries in his back.

Dr. A. A. Ames was quickly summoned and the injuries treated. Dr.

Ames expresses the belief in the recovery of the unfortunate man. It is rumored that Mr. Donovan waa injured in a similar manner on a previous occasion. At about 1:30 yesterday afternoon, a gentleman on the atone bridge headed toward the East siae, and driving a fine young horse, lost one of his forward baggy wheels; the horse was not at all with the matter and started off on his own hook, the gentleman seeing breakers ahead, left the vehicle very suddenly, wbile a second later the home left the buggy at a lamp post on the corner of Main street and the bridge. Sumjtoto, sprained ankle, three bushels of buggy and the home all It would be well for the city council at the meeting thia evening to take bold of the question pertaining to the npper bridge and discuss it in a business-like manner, with a view of arriving at a definite City Engineer Bin ker, without the authority of a legal quorum of the council, is expending about $400 in strengthening the bridge; but states that when the repairs are done the structure will not be safe, though it may hold until people can cross on the ice.

It seems a little ont of place to throw away on a rotten bridge, and this in the face of the fact that in the near future the river will be frozen for crossing. A new bridge will have to be built there or somewfl-ere in the vicinity, and the counoil might as well take hold of the matter in this light as to try to make a rotten apple good. MEETS HIS END. Death of J. H.

Man Less at the County Ice House. J. H. Monger, the prisoner mentioned in yesterday's Globe as having been removed to the Cottage hospital, died early yesterday morning. It seems that abont two weeks ago he fell from his couch and injured his abdomen by striking on a plank.

Inflammation of the bowels set in and caused his death.T■':".';;■£> In view of the savage criticisms that have been made, owing to the Buffering of the prisoners in the unfinished jail, and in view of an opinion quite generally believed that the prisoner's sickness aud death was occasioned by exposure, the Globe has investigated the case and found thefollowing: Dr. -7. Kelly, the county physician, prescribed for the prisoner nntil last Friday morning, when he was called away as a witness in an important law case. About a week ago the doctor called upon Mr. Hale, the county attorney, to see if the sick man sould not be removed to suitable quarters.

The attorney expressed the opinion that the prisoner. could not be removed without bail. There the matter dropped. A few days after, however, Dr. Kelly and others had a consultation at the jail, and the prisoner was so much better that the idea of removing him waa not thought necessary.

The prisoner steadily improved, according to the connty physician, and Sunday morning talked and joked with the other prisoners. In tbe evening he was taken worse, and a physician was called. It was then seen that the prisoner was beyond reoovery. In the morning Sheriff Thompson applied to Judge Vanderburgh for authority to remove the man. which was granted, and the patient taken to the oity hospital, where he died aa mentioned above.

No one knows, probably, whether the sickness of the prisoner was occasioned by exposure at the jail. It is not certain that his disease was hastened by the condition of his surroundings. But this fact remainsthat the jail baa been totally unfit for living beings Jo occupy. The county pbynician says it has been so all summer, and no one will dispute him. If the prisoners have Buffered as thay Bay they have, and as everyone who has seen them believes they have, conld a siok man hope to recover in such a place? The law demands of no one an impossibility.

Wonld the law demand that a prisoner, lying on a bed of sickness, and without friends to give bail, should be obliged to remain in an ioy cell until death was just at band? The commissioners of course are blamed by many for not having the jail completed, the contractors are officers are blamed, and in fact every one at all connected with the business is blamed By some one. But that is not the paramount point, just now. When the connty physician found it waa not a fit place for the man, and bo expressed himself, nothing should have stood in the way of the prisoner's removal to some place where certain death did not stare him in the face. No law would ever touch a man who should grant authority for the removal of a sick prisoner frora this place, confining like a dungeon, but open to the rain and sleet and snow of an October tempest. Perhaps the man would have died wherever he was, and no one may havo been to blame for anything, but the fact remains that no sick man could hope for recovery confined in such a plaoe as was J.

H. Another curious fact in connection with the matter is the report that Mrs. Munger bad no knowledge of her hnsband's death until yesterday afternoon, when a reporter called at the honse to make some Inquiries. It seems almost impossible to believe thin, but Hennepin oounty people are prepared for almost anything, no matter what it may be. The remains of Mr.

Munger were taken from the hospital yesterday afternoon by an undertaker. THE DEATH ROLL. THE DEATH ROLL. Demise of Chief Justice Ryan, of Wiscon- Demise of Chief Justice Kyan. of Wiscon- Citizens of Faribault Die of Apoplexy.

Report on Railway Mall Service. Washington, Oot. W. B. Thompson, superintendent of the railway mail service, in his annual report says: In view of the increasing wants of the postal car service.

Hon. W. G. Ward would have been here last night, but was snowed in at Fairmont. Hon.

M. S. Wilkinson is also in the city. The weather is a little more mild ibis morning, but colder than the farmers want to see it, for they are far from being ready for winter. There is a large quantity of potatoes that are in the ground yet, and it is feared that some of them are frozen already.

H. Baker spoke at tbe Opera Honse to a fair sized audience. The general put a good deal of the theatrical into his address, and received a good deal of applause. He made Mr. Dunnell out to be a political skalawag of the first water, and showed up suoh a mess of reeking oorrcptien in this distriot and among many leading Re- publican politicians in this State, that was really amazing to the honest Democrats present.

The general, it may be said, had the facts and figures to prove what be said, and taking all together his eloquent address ought to be taken as a good electioneering document for tbe Democratsfor certainly a party within whose ranks so much corruption ba9 existed is not fit to control publio affairs longer.
