When Mr. Tilden appeared looking unusu ally well, JSx-Gov. Stevenson ad dressed liim as follows: The convention assembled at Cincinnati nominated for president and vicepresident General W. S. Hancock and Hon. W. H. English. This committee was oliarged with the duty of informing these eminent statesmen of the high trust which was thus tendered them, and which they have accepted, would have but half performed their duty if they did not compute hom ago to' him who, by a large majority, was elected four years ago your noble self denial in laying down all your claims to the exalted office of president of the United States. Because you did not desire civil war does not take in any way from your noble and straightforward character. There is still another act of patriotic self denial on record in your favor, and that is relin quishing all just claims which you had on the people of the country for a second term. J?or these acts of self denial the democracy of the United States pray to the Almighty .Power that your life may be prolonged for many, very many years. More particularly that you may live to see our country and its constitutional government relieved from the many in cumbrances heaped upon them,as well as the rectification of the basest fraud per petrated upon a people, by an over whelming defeat next November of the republican party. I speak not only the voice of this committee but the voice of the democratic party throughout this broad country who unite in praying you —[Here the fine gave out and the bal ance of this interesting story will have to be concluded in a subsequent issue— Eds.] FOREIGN.

No damage was done in the city, except weakening a bridge. It is thought that the Colorado Central bridge will be washed away before morn ing.

Four of Tli«ini Milking a Hold mi he Hun. j, London Telegraph. Astronomers tell us that we are enter ing upon a period when an occurrence will take place in the heavens which lias not been known for more than eighteen centuries. The four largest of the plane tary bodies, Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn and Neptune, are approaching their periheli on point A FATAL STAMPEDE. Thirty Indians Di'iiwihhI rrw^^_, space, arc sweeping in their gigantio orbits nearer and nearer to the Bun, and their simultaneous approxima tion to the central mass of the solar sys tem has inspired some minds with fears ob to the pomible results to that particu lar planet on which we dwell. There is no need for any anxiety .however, us such an event has happened several times be for, and probably will happen often again, without causing the smallest in convenience to any human being. The perihelion of a planet- being that point of its orbit where it comes nearest to the sun, and all the planets being at dif ferent distances from that luminary, it follows that some of them approach' the the sun—or are in perihelion—more fre quently than others. Neptune the most distant of them all, takes one hundred and sixty-four years to complete its movement around the sun while Jupi ter, in Bize, the king of the planets, he whom the Greek called Phaethon, and the Egyptions "Brilliant," sweeps round in less than a tenth part of that tune. The last occasion when a steller phenomenon similar to that which is about to happen was at the begining of last century, when all four of these wandering worlds neared the sun almost simultaneously. That was 1708 and the following. years, and, if there was any ground for suppos ing that earthquakes and plagues attend ed these unusual events, history ought to inform us of dire calamities at that time affecting the globe. Yet there is no satisfactory proof of the earth having been disturbed about that period on the contrarv, she seems to have adopted an attitude of perfect indifference, in spite of the proximity of the major plan ets. The great plague happened in the year 1G65, and can hardly, therefore, be put down to the maglignant influence of planetary peiihelia more especially as it can be accounted for by other causes, such as unsanitary conditions of life.a^d an absence of a sufficient amount of fruit and fresh vegetables in the popular diet of the age. If there'are any who would attribute the war of the succession to these resplendent heavenly bodies, they should, in common fairness, to Jupiter and Neptune, remember that the peace of [Jtreclit, which ended tlie contest,was happily cemented in 1713, at that time when, according to astrology, not only "the dogs of war," but the most terrible wolves of famine, to say nothing of earthquakes and tempests, ought to have been reveling with slaughter all over the world. Why should we ascribe baleful powers to any conjunction of the count less host of heaven There is really no shallow of astronomical grqund for be lieving that the other planets exerci .e any sensible sway over tne meteorologi cal conditions under which we live. Tlie perturbing power of these bodies is limit ed to slightly altering the eliptical orbit of the earth, and beyond that they have assumed towards our smaller planet an attitude of perfect complacency. In mi Etlort Capture ltiilt'nlu .ileal. Chicago Times, loth. An officer of the regular army, who left Fort Keogh, Montana, ten days ago, arrived in the city on Thursday evening, and is a guest of friends living on Prairie avenue. The officer traveled by "buck board" from the Yellowstone river to the end ol the Northern Pacific railroad, near the Little Missouri, and thence e:istwaad by rail. Couriers had arrived at the post before his departure, bringing the latest intelli gence lrom the Crow Indians, who were then absent from the camp, or agency, npon a grand Jiull'alo hunt. The news brought in by couriers was very exciting. They related that alter riding over moun tains for two days the Crows came upon a line herd of buffaloes in a narrow val ley near by the Yellowstone. There were four hundred Indians and lour thousand buffaloes. The Crows had been forced by fear of starvation to take to the chase, and the keen hunger they were suffering only sharpened their eagerness lor a tilt with their old fellow-nomads, the noble bison. The game stampeded down the valley in the direction of the Yellowstone. The chase was hotly fol lowed, half a hundred bnffaloes biting the dust before the river was reached. One ol the most vehement of the pursu ers, who had distinguished himself for bravery in two or three fights with the Sioux, fell from his pony in the midst of the Hying herd, and was trampled to death by tlie frantic beasts. The Yellowstone, a roaring, rushing river even at the lowest tide, was boom ing with regular summer freshet, the outpour of tlie melting snows in the high mountains. When the river was reached the game made a bold stand, and lor a time it seemed doubtful which held the mastery but the incessant fusillade from four hundred rifles, together with the desperate proximity of the formida ble battalion, drove the herd in dismay into the roaring torrent. Beside them selves with the excitement of the mo ment, the Indians urged their ponies into the stream, unwilling that even -flood should spoil their frenzied sport or cut them off from their game. The terrific current, made tumultuous from the huge piles of rock hero and there in the chan nel, whirled buffaloes, ponies, and In dians along at a bewildering velocity until the thousands-oil beasts were roii ing and writhing in inextricable confu sion. In the dizzy evolutions of horses and riders the latter were left to struggle for themselves in the water, and to be jammed to death between the surging masses of drowning beasts. Some, who foresaw the danger in time, and turned shoreward, fouud safety on terra firma, but those who ventured far ^uough to be embraced by the sweepiug, resistless tide, and to become involved in the tangle of struggling animals were all drowned. The story brought to the post was that thirty In dians and fifty ponies were drowned, be sides five hundred or thousand buffa loes. Inquiry at military headquarters in this city elicited from Col. Sheridan the information, corroborative in part of the foregoing narrative, that the Crow Indi ans had eaten up all their food and had gone out after game. Tho dispatch conveying this intelligence to military headquarters gave no particulars, but intimated that tho Indians were desper ately hungry, UM SI'KOI A I. XOTIUKS.

Src Ife' «r Hi rv I Ss-. 5* t§ jM £4 *3r W TAHlCTOll DAKOTA. Wednesday EtmUk, July' 1880. National Republican Ticket. FOB PBKSIDENT: JAMES A. GARFIELD, Of Ohio. FOB TICK PRESIDENT: CHESTER A. ARTHUR, Of New York.: We announced yesterday, upon the basis of information exceedingly meagre, but the best which could be obtained at the time, that the county commissioners were quietly preparing to open another railroad fight in which the county of Yankton was to be a participant. Furth er inquiries have been made and some thing more tangible, though not altogether satisfactory, is evolved from the situation. Mr. Spink, the attorney for the commissioners, tells us that the move is made in the interest of the stock held by Yankton county in the Sioux City Dakota railroad, the intention being to make an effort to break up tho consolidation of the Dakota Southern and the Sioux City Pembina lines and to procure an injunction to prevent the extension of the road by the Sioux City Dakota management from Yankton to Scotland. Mr. Spink held that the ap plication for an injunction would be an unimportant element in the lit igation to follow, the great point to be at tained being the dissolution of the con solidation. This was designed for the purpose of ultimately returning to Yank ton county its $200,000 of stock in the Da kota Southern, as originally held, which stock is now represented by a less amount in the consolidated company. Then, for the purpose of preventing any further expansion of the voting strength of the stock, it is deemed advisable to prevent any more railroad building into or out of Yankton. We put this matter in our own words, and as we understand it. The hope of the commissioners is to get the stock of the company in such shape that the Yankton county share will give to either contestant in the present litiga tion a majority. Tliey imagine that each of the parties will become desirous of possessing it and will therefore proceed to bid it up to a high figure. It is denied by the attorney for the commissioners that any attempt will be made to place the road ia the hands of a receiver. We made the statement that a receiver was to be asked for upon the virtual admis sion of two of the county commissioners, but it is possible that their attorney now deems it advisable to abandon that por tion of the proceedings. The design of the commissioners is in itself commendable enough, but we fear they have not stopped to consider the evil effects which would result from their ac tion. The first great calamity would be an abandonment of the proposed exten sion to Scotland. This road would prove of more value to Yankton county than ten times the face of the stock it holds. Even if successful in a litigation, this stock could not be brought to a greater value than twenty-five per' cent. For this comparatively small sum it is not worth while for us to sacrifice all our in terest in the future. And the chances are decidedly against success. The next few years, with proper management, will be valuable years to us, but if we are- tied up in a costly railroad litigation the sea son of progress will go by unimproved and we will realize too late that our opportunity is gone for ever. This is the time for us to cast aside all recollec tion of the controversies of the past and to keep our hands clean from future de moralizing complications. The history of Yankton county contains a record of railroad warfare which will never be re moved from the memory of those who participated in it and gathered in its bit ter fruits. Out of it nothing was gained for ourselves and everything for those who were opposing us. Its blighting ef fects will outlast the generation which conspired to bring it about. In all can dor we ask the public: Do you want any more of it Do you want to throw your valuable time and your hard earned mon ey into a contest which will bring profit only to the lawyers engaged and loss to yourselves? Do you want to squander the valuable years designed for growth in destructive inactivity and finally find your business and your hopes buried in the ruins of a premature decay If you do not want these experiences, put in your protest at the beginning and stop this useless litigation before it be comes a burden upon you. Let Mr. Blair and Mr. Merrill fight out their own battles at their own expense. To cany this case through all the courts would consume at least five years, and every year of the controversy would entail a business loss of not less than a Hundred thousand dollars. In the end we may possibly gain a decision which would promise to net us fifty thousand dollars—and we may not. Where is the profit? The gratification of a spirit of retaliation may be a consolation to some, but there is a great deal more of comfort in a prosperous business con dition. We fully believe that the best inter ests of any community are subserved by an avoidance of conflict with the powers that can make or unmake. It is useless focus to hope that ire can eventually reach a position where we may dictate terms, by pulling off our coats and an nouncing our intention to fight upon every indication of provocation. The giants iunile upon tin wrathful pigmies and then step oyap them and leave thetn alone with their rage. It is time for Yankton coun ty to reaoh the conclusion that con ciliatory efforts are more potent than a perpetual attitude of defiance. There are business interests to .guide and to guard, and the coolest wisdom and the most deliberate and comprehensive judg ment must be substituted for the abor tive policy which seeks to destroy that it may dictate and then control. The lklilwaakee railroad, is here and it will stay. It will either crushes or it will do us good. It remains with our1 selves to decide upon the future result. The company promises to build up the viilley of the Jim. We can do no Better than to accept this agreement in., good faith. If the county government at tempts to prevent the construction of this iiue, if it endeavors by a worse than, useless litigation to embarasS the corpo ration, it will lose everything and gain nothing. Again, we say, let Mr. Blair and Mr. Merrill fight it out. The latter is ahead, so far. So long as he remains ahead, he is our man. Should Mr. Blair achieve ultimate,triumph we catf trans fer our affections to liim. We are the bone of contention. Let us be a quiet well behaved bone and not disgrace our selves by trying to participate in the muss. The county commissioners say they have no desire to push litigation againBt the wishes of the people. They have di rected the district attorney and Mr. Spink to prepare the papers in the case, and are desirous of obtaining an expres sion of the views of the taxpayers of the county before proceeding fuither. This is where the matter rests and it will re main there, unless it becomes apparant that the people are desirous of embark ing in another expensive litigation. The stock held by the county, has a nominal value of $66,000, but is in reality worth nothing, as it is loaded down with mort gages and is a helpless minority in the company of the balance of the stock al ready issued. It was given in lieu of the bonds voted by the county, but the old Dakota Southern railroad company never intended that it should possess any value, except for voting pur poses, and has faithfully carried out that intention. An offer of 815,000 has been made for this stock, which is more than can be realized upon it through any pro cess of the courts. Judge Farwell, deputy first controller of the treasury department, has rendered a decision, in which he holds that the existing law does not make it compulso ry upon the government to pay sub-con tractors for carrying United States mail the extra month's compensation provid ed for in the event of the discontinuance of the route, and unless sub-contractors make special promises in their contracts with the original contractor to receive this allowance it falls to the original con tractor, when tbfe route is discontinued .The president has appointed Orange Judd of the New York Amerioan Agri culturalist to be a member of the board of Indian commissioners, vice Bars tow, resigned. The latter was somewhat mix up with the details of the Hayt collapse The treasury department has purchaa ed United States bonds to the amount of $237,600 for the sinking fund of the Un ion and Central Pacific railroads. Governor Hnrtranft has procured sat isfactory bondsmen and has taken the oath of office as collector of the port of Philadelphia. A MOODY COUNTY CYCLONE. The Yilllage of Egan Nearly Demolished by a Furious Storm. Egan Express, 8th. Last night when our people retired from their day of toil, it was with no thought of impending danger. Though the heavens were clouded, the air was cool and hardly a breath of wind was stirring. The awakening was bptji sud den and startling. We awoke to hear the roar ofsthe wind, the deep bellowing of the thunder, to see the constant glare of the lightning's lurid flash, to see by the lightnings' aid two black and fright ful looking clouds, one directly west, the other in the northwest, bearing directly down upon us. As the storm-fiends ap proached us they seemed to graviate to wards each other. Just west of town they came together with a sudden whiz zing, whirling, deafening crash, and in stantly the rasping, raking crash of fall ing and moving buildings lent its horrors to the"awful tumult. A moment only and then the cloud lifted, scattered and was gone. The morning dawned bright and clear on a demoralized town. Runyon'S blacksmith shop, C. F. Bath man's stable, both not vet completed, were torn to shreds. Hobart's hardware store, 18x32, two stories, was lifted some feet from its foundation, but was not seriously injur ed. Bid well,Harden Co.'s building,stand ing just west of their store. Was thrown from its foundation. Jordan's building stood the test well, faring much better than his family. Just as the storm struck, he and his two little girls were in the act of decending the out side stairway. The stairs were swept away, and in tne fall one little girl had an arm broken,and the other was so bad ly stunned that she lay unconscious for hours. Mr. Jordan also sustained slight injuries. H. K. White's house was thrown from its foundation, but was comparatively uninjured. Mrs. Carr's house shared the same fate. Slightly injured. Mr. Brown's house opposite our office, was torn to pieces.

Garfield has forwarded to Senator Hoar of Massa chusetts the following letter' of aooept anoe of the nomination tendered him by the republican national convention: Mentor, O., July 10. 1880—Dear Sir: On the evening of 8th of June last, I had the honor to reoeive from you, in the presence of the committee of whioh you wero chairman, the offioial announcement that the republican national convention at Chicago had that day nominated me as their candidate for president of the United States. I accept the nomination with gratitude for the confidence it im plies, and with a deep sense of the re sponsibilities it imposes. cordially in dorse the principles set forth in platform adopted by the convention. In nearly all the subjects of Whioh it treats my opinions are on record among the pub lished proceedings of congress. I ven ture, however, to make special mention of some of the principal topics whioh are likely to become the subject of discus sion. Without renewing controveries which have been settled during the last twenty years, and with no purpose or wish to revive the passions of the late war, it may be said that while .republi cans fully recognize, juid will strenuous' ly defend nil tne ri^ people, and all the rights reserved The best thoughts and energies of our people should be direoted to those great questions of national well being, iu which all bore a common interest. Such efforts will soonest restore to perfect peace those who were lately in arms against each other, for justice and good will out last passion but it is certain that the wounds of war cannot be completely healed and the shield of brotherhood cannot fully prevade the whole country until every citizen, rich or poor, white or black, is secure in the free and equal enjoyment of every civil and political right narrated by tlie^ constitution and laws. Wherever the enjoyment of these rights is not assured, discontent will prevail, immigration will cease, and the social and industrial forces will continue to be ..disturbed by the migration of laborers and the consequent diminuation of property. The national government should-exercise all its constitutional au thority to put an end to these evils, for the people and all states are members of ly, and no member can suffer without injury to all. The most serious evils which' now afflict the south arise from the fact that there is not such free dom and toleration of political opinion and action that the minority party can exercise an effective and wholesome re straint upon the party in power. With out such restraint party rule becomes tyrannical and corrupt. The prosperity which is made possible in the south by its great advantages of soil and climate, will never be realized until every voter can freely and safely support any party he pleases. Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither justice nor freedom can be permanently maintained. Its interests are entrusted to the states—to the volun tary action of the people. Whatever help the nation can justly afford The intereats of agriculture, which to the basis of all our material prosperity, and in whioh seven-twelfths of our popu lation are engaged, as well as the inter ests of manufactures and commerce, de mand that the facilities for cheap trans portation shall be increased by the use of all our great water courses. The mater ial interests of this country, the tradi tions of its settlement, and the senti ments of our people, have Ted the gov ernment to oner the widest hospitality to emigrants who seek our shores for new and happier homes, willing to share the. burdens as well as the benefits of our so ciety, and intending that their prosperity Bhall become an undistingnishable part of our population. The recent movement of the Chinese to our Pacifio coast par takes but little of the qualities of such an emigration, cither in its purposes or its results. It is too much like an impor tation to be welcomed without restric tions. We cannot consent to allow any form of servile labor to be introduced among us under the guise of immigration. Becognizing the gravity of this subject, the present administration, supported by congress, has sent to China a commission of distinguished citizens for the purpose of securing suoh a modification of the existing treaty as will prevent the evils likely to arise from the present situation. It is confidently rights retainedhby the he rights reserved to the states, they reject the pernicious dootrine of state supremacy, which so long crip pled the functiOns of the national govern ment, mid at one time brought the union very near to destruction. They insist that the United States is a nation with ample powers of self preservation that its constitution and laws, made in pursuance thereof, are the supreme law of the land .that the right of the nation to determine the method by which its legislature shall be created cannot be surrendered without abdicating one of the fundamental powers of the government that the national laws relating to the election of representatives in congress Bhall neither be violated nor evaded, and that every elector shall be permitted freely and without intimidation to cast his lawful vote at such election, and have it honestly counted, and that the poten cy of his vote shall not be destroyed by the fraudulent vote of any other person Bhould be generously given, to aid the states in supporting common schools, but it would be unjust to our people, and dangerous to our institutions, to apply any portion of the revenues of the nation, or of the states, to the support of sectarian schools. The separation of the church nnd the state in everything relating to taxation should be absolute. On the subject of finances my views have been so freely and fully explained that little is needed in the way of an additional statement. The public debt is now so well secured, and the rate of annual interest lias been so reduced by refunding, that rigid econ omy in the expenditures and the faithful application of our surplus revenue to the payment of the prin cipal of the debt will gradually but cer tainly free the people from its burden, and close with honor the financial chap ter of the war. At the same time the government can provide for all its ordi nary expenditures and discharge its sa ciea obligations to the soldiers of the union, and to the widows and orphans of those who fell in its defense. Our pa per currency is now as national as the nag, and resumption has not only made it everywhere equal to coin, but had brought into use our store of gold and silver. This circulating medium is more abundant than ever before, and we need only to maintain the equality of all our dollars to insure to labor and capital a measure of value from the use of which no one can suffer loss. The great pros perity which the country is now enjoy ing should not be endangered by any violent changes or doubtful financial ex periments. In reference to our custom laws a poli cy should be pursued which will bring revenue to the treasury and will enable the labor and capital employed in our great industries to compete fairly in our markets with the labor and capital of glory American laborer is more intelligent and better paid than his foreign competitors. Our country cannot be independent un less its people, with their abundant nat ural resources, possess the requisite skill at any time, to clothe, arm and equip themselves for war and in. ^jme of peace to produce all the necessary imple ments of labor. It was the manifest in tention of the founders of the govern ment to provide for the common defence not by standing armies, but by raising among the people a greater army of arti sans, whose intelligence and skill should contribute to the safety and glory of the nation. Fortunately for the interests of commerce theie is no longer any formid able opposition to appropriations for the improvement of our harbors and great navigable rivers, provided the expendit ures for that purpose are strictly limited to workB of national importance. The Mississippi river, with its great tributa ries, is of such vital importance to so many-millions of people that the safety of its navigation- requires exceptional consideration. In order to secure to the nation the control of all its waters, Presi dent Jefferson negotiated the purchase of a vast territory extending from the Gulf ot Mexico to the Pacific ocean. The wisdom of congress should be invoked to devise some pun by which that great river shall cease toM a terror to those who dwell upon its banks, and' by which its shipping may safely carry the indus trial propu4s of 25,000,000. ,1 believed that the diplo matic negotiations will be successful without any commercial, disturbance be tween the two powers, which promises a great increase of reciprocal trade and the enlargement of our markets. Should tliese efforts fail, it will be the duty of congress to mitigate the evils, already full, and prevent their increase by snoh restrictions as without violenoe or injus tice, will place upon a sure footing the leace of our communities and the free iom and dignity of labor. The appointment of citizens to the various executive and judicial offices of the government, is perhaps the most dif ficult of all the duties which the consti tution has imposed upon the executive. The constitution wisely demands that congress shall co-operate with the execu tive departments in placing the civil ser vice on a better basis. Experience has proved that with our frequent changes of administration no system of reform can be made effective and permanent without the aid of legislation. Appointments to the military and naval service are so regulated by law and custom as to leave but little ground for complaint. It may not be wise to make similar regula tions by law for the civil service, but without invading the authority or neces sary discretion ol the excutive, congress should devise a method that will deter mine the tenure of commerce and'greatly reduce the uniformity which makes that service so uncertain and unsatisfactory. Without depriving any officer of his rights as a citizen, 'the government should require him to discharge all his official duties with intelligence, efficien cy and faithfulness. To select wisely from our vast population those who are best fitted for the many offices to be fill ed requires an acquaintance far beyond the range of any one man. The execu tive should therefore seek and receive the information and assistance of those whose knowledge of the communities in which the duties are to be performed best qualifies them to aid him in making the wisest choice. The doctrines an nounced by the Chicago convention are not the temporary devices of a party to attract votes and carry an election. They are deliberate convictions, resulting from a careful study of the spirit of our insti tution, the courts of our history nnd the best impulses of our people. Iu my judgment these principals should con trol the legislation and administration of the government. In any event they will guide my conduct until experience points a" better way. If elected, it will be my put pose to enforce strict obedi ence to the constitution and the laws, and to promote as best I may the inter est and honor of the whole country, rely ing for support upon the wisdom of con gress, the intelligence and patriotism of the people, and the favor of God.

Tlio 7th cuvulrjr buml received three hundred dollars for their 4th of July music at Lead City. The Lead City hone boys earned off the honors and the prize at the Dead wood 4th of July context. Deadwood Presx, Gtli: Chicago Joe, well known to nearly every resident of Deadwood, was found deud at the I. X. L. hotel Saturday evening. In the contested water suit Judge Moody has rendered a decision in favor of the Homeatake company. This, the Press says, Hetties the long disputed question regarding the waters of White wood. Deadwood Times: There is trouble down at Fort Meade, there being an ef fort made to remove Faushawe, the post trader. He has now gone east to try and re-instate himself in the good opinion of the powers that be, and time alone will determine the result. The Fourth in Deadwood was a day of glorious accomplishments, accompanied by a procession containing all the attrac tions within reach. Hon. Edwin Van Cise was the orator of the occasion and the various hose companies competed for supremacy in water squirting. Deadwood Press: Wm. Brewer has just completed the census of Fort Meade, Hturgis City and precincts, Bear Butte district, Sprite creek, Alkali creek, Bell Feurche and Cheyenne, from Bismark to Fort Pierre crossing, Elk creek, Pleasant Valley, Moss creek and Wildcat. There are over 700 people exclusive oi Fort Meade, 250 actual settlers and 3,000 acres of land in cultivation. Deadwood Times: Wm. Brewer, late deputy sheriff, was in from his ranch yesterday. He reports everything, in cluding the vast crops of that region, booming and blooming. William re- Sonedthat orts the reds have not yet aban the Belle Fourche region, as there has been for several days past a camp of thirteen buoks and squaws at the mouth of Alkali creek. As yet they have ex hibited no signs of hostility and have not yet appropriated any of the settlers' stock. The liochford Miner of the 1st has the following to say about a mine in that vi cinity, the name of which has frequently appeared in these columns: "The Queen Bee owners shut down the arastra last Thursday—not because the ore was not rich enough, but because the means of reducing it was found to be too primitive and clumsy. Mr. Smithson of this place, examined the pulp in the arastra last week, and is satisfied that at a low esti mate the ore will go one dollar to the ffound. Captain Griffin is negotiate or the Rockerville 10-Btamp mill, ani_ hopes to have it on the ground in a short time. The Queen Bee is undoubtedly the best mine in the southern Hills to day." The Deadwood Times gives the follow ing Rockerville news: Major Wilse, en gineer in chief of the Black Hills placer mining company, and Mr. Iddings, the assistant manager of that great work, arrived in this city yesterday. They re port good progress in the prosecution of the big ditch and flume. The contractor having the construction of the flume in charge, is now completing one half mile daily. By the 10th of August the work will be sufficiently completed to enable the company to begin hydraulicing the rich auriferous deposits at Rockerville. That large dividends will follow the com pletion of this immense undertaking we have the assurance of those most compe tent to judge. Custer City Chronicle: The Laughing Water mining country evidently has as bright a future as any other portion of the Hills. The developments thus far made are limited, but as the work goes on, the solid and staying quality of the ore is brought to view. Every exten sion has proven nearly if not quite as rich as the Salmon, aiid there seems to be no letting down 'as regards quality, while the quantity is dafly increasing. But little is soid by those most interest ed—in fact they have little time for in. terviewing. The work is going bravely on, and the Laughing Water district scarce a rifle shot outside the corporate limits of Custer City—will, ere many months intervene, cause a ripple of sur prise and amazement unheard of in Black Hills mining circles.

A, Deoorab, Iowa, firm has bought $18,000 worth of wool in Yankton during the past month. The members of the Baptist society and their friends will meet at the ohureh this evening for a few hours of social recreation. The stages for the Wyoming company's Pierre and .Rapid City line are being loaded on the Peninah for shipment to Pierre. Bartlet Tripp says he is willing to guarantee that within two weeks work will be commenced on the Jim river ex tension from Yankton. Sheriff Baker is out to-day after some parties accused of raising the value of Hutchinson county warrants and then disposing of the fraudulent paper. John Bice was detected last night by the police in the act of disturbing the peace and in default of 87.10 assessed by Justice Davis, he has gone to jail for twelve days. The Oayville base ball club and the James river baseball club met last Sat urday and indulged in a friendly contest. Restdt: Oayvilles, 31 James Rivers 9. The battle oocurred at Gayville. We are under obligations to Dr. Y. T. McOillycuddy, topographer, for a new and valuable map of the Black Hills, showing all the cities of the Hills and the various mineral lodes and streams. -At a meeting of the school board, held last evening, it was decided to delay the construction of the main high school building and to make some improve ments on the present structure to accom modate the pupils during the fall term. The corresponding secretary of the fat man's gun club desires us to state that his challenge was issued by order of Com modore Coulson, president of the club. As the combined weight of these two of ficials is 489 pounds, we respond with alaority. John McKinney was found guilty of permitting cattle to run at large inside the city limits without the attendance of a competent man. McKinney is himself competent, but unfortunately for him, this particular squad of cattle were un der the immediate supervision of a hired hand who is not well up in bovineology. M. T. Woolley has just completed the census of Armstrong county and found 2,607 people residing therein. He says the Hanson county census shows about 1,300 and the Davison county census about 1,200. These three counties have filled up rapidly during the past year and present are surprising figures in the way of population. Our agricultural neighbors generally report crops in excellent condition. On the bottoms some of the wheat is rusted, but on the upland farms there is no trouble from this cause and a large yield of excellent quality is assured, with the local exceptions which always occur. Corn and vegetables are growing with wonderful rapidity and the yield will be very large. Oats, barley and rye are number one all the way through. Superintendent Merchant is expected to-night to make arrangements for the construction of the new bridge across the Rhine, and the transfer of the track to the right of way just purchased by the city. A squad of men is at work to-day endeavoring to strengthen the old bridge so that cars can be run over it while the construction of the new bridge is in pro gress. The new bridge is to be built on piles some two hundred feet above the old one. A squad of Bohemians invaded the police court this morning and engaged in a vehement conversation among them, selves in their own language. What it was all about Justice Davis had no idea and he was surprised to learn, when it was all over, that Joseph Hubka had committed a breach of the peace. On a complaint being sworn out by one of the Bohemians, Hubka was arrested and ar raigned. He plead guilty to the charge and was fined $7.60. About this time Mrs. Hubka came into the court, and learning that her husband had been un, wise enough to plead goilty, die took hold of him and jerked him aroqn^the court room until he, reaohed the conclu sion that some one about his size had committed a terrible blunder. He tried to take it back, hut it was no go, and he was finally permitted to return to his home to get the money with which to pay his assessment. P. C. is of the opin, ion that when she gets him alone, there will be an interesting season in the Hubka mansion. Austin L. Webb,of Gary,Deuel'ooimty, desires to obtain information regarding the whereabouts of Sergeant Frank Wells. Mr. Webb states that he reoeived a letter from Sergeant Wells, in which it was agreed that the two should meet in Gary shortly after the 8th of June, the date of the discharge of the latter. Mr. Webb has since heard that a number of discharged soldiers were masaaored by Indians while on their way to Yankton and fears that Sergeant Wells was one of them. If the missing man is alive he will please show up and relieve our Sioux neighbors of this distressing charge. FUEL CHEAP.

THE PIONEER HOST. nine in Am Independence Day Inventory of the Settlers of Spink County i»n ttiv Jltu. Regular Corr**pond«m. Belcher's Ford Dak., July 6, 1880.— EJver sinde the ringing of that grand old bell in Independence hall, announcing the signing of the declaration of inde pendence by that noble band of patriots, who were assembled as the representa tives of the American people, wlfo had resolved to break the yoke that bound them to old England, and assert their rights as a free and independent people, it has been customary for the people of our free America to assemble at each an niversary (July 4th) in remembrance of our patriot fathers and their noble aetion in giving to us one of the grandest coun trys that- the sun ever shone upon. Our pilgrim fathers and their devoted wives when they deoided to leave the hedge, rows and well tilled fields of old England and make for themselves new homes in that then to them far off country, evinced a patriotism and daring equalled by no other race of people, since the days of Adam. They dared to brave the dangers of old ocean's storms in crafts which to day would be considered too risky, and to come and settle in the wilds of Ameri ca and hew ont homes for themselves and children, and the result is too well known to the readers of the Press to need any commenting upon. From that day till the present time the tide of emigration from all parts of the old world has in creased till the once vast wilderness has become the greatest exporting country in the world, and the dear old stars and stripes are known and honored by all countries. But the stars and bars. Oh! where are they? New countries are constantly being opened up, and being settled by men and women who go to them in the same spirit that their poor parents commenced at Plymouth Rock. But a few short months ago the James river valley was amongst the far off countries and the home of the red man and his old time friends, the buffalo, the antelope and the howling cayotes, but to-day the sturdy yoemanry are pushing on to the new El dorado and making homes for them selves and children, and our great rail road corporations have become in spired with the same feeling of advance ment and are pushing their tines of road in all directions through this fertile val ley and are assured that before the dawn of another year, the iron horse and his accompanying train will make us daily visits. One short year ago but a few of the advance guards had reached this valley, but to-day all aloug the river from Yankton to Jamestown villages are being bu^lt and the broad prairies are Being broken by thousands of teams, and buildings are springing up as by magic. It was thought best by some of the settlers to invite the pioneers to assemble at Belchers Ford and take an inventory of the first year's results and an invita tion was extended to the settlers of Spink county to n^eet at the Ford on the 3d day of July (Saturday) in the form of a 4th of July poster and the result was a surprise to everybody. Foster City was represented by Hon, C. B. Foster wife and son, Clyde by Mr. and Mrs. Wash burn Mr, and Mrs. Anderson and several others. Friends Kuiesie, Potts, Bothum Beardsley and many others came down from Louisville. Ashton resolved itself into a committee of the whole and all came down. Redfield the future city of the valley sent over a large delegation of "fair women and brave men."' Hastings came over en masse, and all, including the people at the Ford and vicinity, to the number of over three hundred met, shook hands,conversed, became acquaint ed, encouraged each other for the future, and taken all in all, it was a love feast that will never be forgotten by those present and many will look back to the 3d day of July,1880, when they have made for themselves fine homes and will tell their children and grandchildren how they celebrated the first "4th of July celebration" ever held in Spink county. At 12 noon Chief Marshal Keniesel sum moned the people to the wide seats which had been prepared for them to lis ten to the singing, the reading and the oration. The singers, 14 in number un der the leadership of Prof. Sampson— nearly all had chairs and a few contented themselves by sitting in a box. The president of the day, Hon. C. B. Foster, occupied the old arm chair while the orator and reader reclined in wagon seat. A wagon was backed down near the stand, and two large flags were unfurled, using the rings in the stakes of the wagon for supporters, and on a stand in front of the president was a large boquet of "cut flowers," cut by Mrs. Hammond out on the prairie, all arranged. The president made a neat little speech welcoming the people pres ent, and although he claimed to be "no orator," we should liked to have heard him longer, as we claim the right to dif fer with on that point. At the close of his remarks he announced a song, which was responded to by the Glee club, no A, who sung "America" in a manner which would have done credit to many of the glee clubs of our older cities, after which the declaration of independence was read by J. F. Hammond. The "Star Span gled Banner" was then sung by the glee club. Hon. Chas. Myers, of Ridgfield, was next introduced, and-for about twen ty minutes we had the pleasure of listen ing to as fine an oration as it has been our lot to hear in many years. He re ferred to the trials of our forefathers in coming to this country, and the indomit able courage they possessed in clearing the wilderness—and said that it was our duty to make this "wilderness of a prai rie to blossom into trees," and to build homes and to .cultivate the fertile soil, &c. At the close of his remarks the glee club greeted us with the "Red, White and Blue," after whi6h all repaired to the feast set by the good women of the valley, and partook of as good a meal as one could wish, with ice cold lemonade to assist it down, after dinner, and the smoking of the peace pipe. The Bedfield and Belcher's Ford interested the Ashton ..nine game of base ball and again we had an opportunity of see ing as fine a game as is often played out side of the professionals. They came to gether and played without any chanoe to praotioe, and as many of the players met other players of the same nine for the first time. Unaooustomed to each other's playing they really did finely. The ABhton nine lacked several mns of hav ing enough to win the game, but seemed not the least disappointed by the result and drank to the health of the winning ntne, a glass of lemonade eaoh,and the winning nine returned the compliment in a manner that showed they knew how to conduot themselves when viotoriouB. In the evening Wo had a balloon ascen sion and a small display of fireworks. The dancers were accommodated by Mr. Robinson at the Cass House, and when all was over, and the day done, they all returned to their prairie homes fully re solved that a 4th of July celebration with nothing stronger than icecream and lemonade to intoxicate, was the right kind. We trust that tho future celebrations of Spink county may be conducted on the lemonade prinoipal, and that "saloons" the ourse of all coun tries may never reach us. FOIID. PINE RIDGE MATTERS. The second^ Henry Clay Dear, was born in Virginia, and, although youni at the time, he fought bravely an valiantly, with much credit to himself as a guerilla, under Gen. MoBby, during the war. He seems to take delight in telling yams of how he used to rob the hen roosts and cellars of union men and widows while out on raids with Gen. Mosby. After the war he, by hook or crook, got himself and brothers ap pointed traders at this agency. About a year ago their license was revoked and they were ordered off the reservation for drunkenness, immorality, crookedness and taking part in the Cheyenne massa cre at Fort Robinson. In this oountry, where he is well known, he lias a bad reputation and his credit is not good, and his word would not be taken for one sack of corn,, much less forty sacks. A warrant for his apprehension to answer to a charge of an assault with intent to kill, and for bringing whisky on the res ervation, has been in the hands of a dep uty United States marshal at this place for some time past. The charge of stealing corn is perfect ly absurd. The police force was organ ized in June, 1879, and their quarters join on to the commissary, and their in structions have always been to arrest any person going in or out of the govern ment warehouses after night besides, there is an Indian night watchman who walks over the grounds within theinclos ure where all of the government buildings are—all night, and it would be impracti cable to say the least, to gpt a plug of tobacco or a can of baking powder out of any of the storerooms after night. It seems remarkable that a bonded trader would be such a consummate idiot as to run the risk of having his license revoked for stealing forty sacks of corn from the commissary, and paying $2.75 per sack, when he can buy it from the Indians at fifty cents per saok, The In dians frequently refuse to take corn when issued to them. What would the trader want with the corn? He cannot sell it to the Indians and it would coBt him $2 per sack to send it to Sidney or Dead wood, which would not be a paying busi ness. If a conspiracy had been gotten up to steal, why not steal coffee and ba con, which is worth eighteen and nine teen dollars per sack This corn story, manufactured without any raw material by the "gentleman from Deadwood" and the "gallant guerilla," is too thin and comes with a poor grace from two fugitives from justice. The charge that a relative of tHe agent is employed, is entirely false, as there is no relative of the agent, directly, indi rectly, by marraige, law or otherwise, employed at this agency. The foregoing article bears down heavy upon Mr. Dear and Mr. Bernard under the supposition that they promulgated the charges against the agent and the trader, which ia a mistake. All that has been said upon the subject is backed by an affidavit, made by other parties than the gentlemen named, and by the open statement of Red Cloud, made to Secre tary Schurz. We have, no faith in the reliability of this correspondent's reflec tions upon Mr. Dear. Mr. Bernard we have seen but once ancLat that time de clined to receive from him for publication a series of articles reflecting upon the management at Pine Ridge^agency, or to give any publicity to his statements: Vienna bread received the first pre mium at the centennial exhibition. For sale at afford to pay. ir »r A Scribe Who Come* to ilie Defense Dr. MfeGlllycmltly. In the Sioux City Journal is the fol lowing letter written by a correspondent at Pine Ridge agency: Pine Ridge Agency, D. T., Julv 5,1880. —An article appealed in the Yankton Press and Dakotaian, bearing date of June 26, wherein is alleged that one of the traders at this agency did on a cer tain night, between the hours of 1 and 2, send two wagons down to the govern ment warehouse and steal forty sacks of corn and take it home and store it away and burn the sacks, and that an affidavit to that effect had been made out and filed with officers of the law. It further more alleges that the agent has a relative employed in the Indian service. In replying to the article we have no fight to make with the Press and Dako taian, as we do not believe that paper would have published charges of so grave a character against its woret enemy un less it had reason to believe they were true. We will endeavor to give a brief history of the men who gave the Press and Dakotaian the above information and then the Press and Dakotaian and the public generally can judge whether the information is reliable. The first, George Bernard, is a "squaw man," who has lived with the Indians for a number of years. A few months ago he stole a horse at the Piatt bridge on the Sidney road for which he laid in jail at Deadwood for several months, as the records of the Deadwood court will show. After getting out he came to this agency, ana owing to immorality, drunkenness and petty thefts, he was given two hours to leave the reservation. Some days there after he stole a horse and saddle from Mr. Benjamin Tibbetts, a man living on White Clay, in Nebraska, and skipped out for Rosebud landing, and from thence to Yankton by boat. I.
