Affairs in Da cOtah Territory.

From several of our citizens lately returned
from visit to this new Territory, we have
advices which confirm reports of the success,
full Inauguration of the Yankton Treat
and of the peaceful march of the white man
to the newly coded lands
The Indians have been moved to their
reserve on the Missouri, near Fort Randall,
where they have received their first Install
ment of annuities, and where they will be
kept and schooled " in the arts of civiliza-
tion," under the direction of the general
government. The Yanktons are said to be
the most intelligent and peaceful, the noblest
formed and best behaved, Indians in the
Sioux nation. They number in all about
$500; own 1900 ponies most of them are
neatly and richly clad, as results of their
industry and pride. They pride themselves
on high standard of virtue and honor, and
their natural intelligence indicates much
more enlightenment than do the Lower
Sioux, who have received annuities from
government for years.
Emigration to Dacotah, particularly into
the Sioux valley, has been quite brisk this
season, and since the first Of July a good
many have ventured to settle along the
Missouri and its principal tributaries. A
lew settlements on the Missouri have been
maintained since spring, though at the dis
pleasure of the Yanktons. All the full pro-
visions of their treaty were carried out.
This now having been done, people will 60
in without restraint and speedily search out
the good places for settlement.
The prospecting party sent out early in
June by the Dacotah Land Company, (part
whom returned this week. were cordially
received by those settlers who had preceded
them on the Missouri, and their explora-
lions beyond the settlements were quite
successful. The acquisitions made by this
expedition are of great value, and must add
new and important consideration to the
stock of the Company.
There is awakening all over the country
quite especially in our own vicinity-a
good deal of interest in regard to the settle
ment of Dacotah, and certain great enter
prises connected with the fortunes of that
Territory. Thus far Dacotah steadily pro-
crossed, and the peace and dignity her
people have maintained as an independent
colony, is commendable. 1t only remains
for Congress to establish Territorial Gov
eminent in Dcaotah, to ensure its rapid set
Element and substantial growth in all the
Developments of an enterprising, intelli-
gent and Industrious people. The organiza-
ton and prosperity of Dacotah, will given
new impulse to Minnesota, and we shall
hope to announce its organization as one of
the first acts of Congress.

Annexation in the Northwest.

The fact of the complete success of the
St. Paul enterprise, in placing steam COM
munication upon the Red River of the
North, has attracted great attention not
only in the Eastern cities and in Canada,
but in England itself. We published few
days since, report of debate in the
English House of Commons, in which the
go-aheadativness of our people was adverted
to. The New York Albion, British jour-
nal, not given to speak on any important
point without careful consideration, sees in
the extension of American interests in the
Red River Valley, prospect of political
changes in the future history of the terri
tory. 1t says:
Our possessions in the quarter now opened
to the Eastern world, by the skill and enter
prise of Americans, are large and of reputed
fertility. Such settlers as are already there
will naturally and properly look with more
than wonted friendlness towards the people
who have, as it were opened to them the
means of easy and quick communication with
the outer world. This feeling will scarcely
diminish in those who reach the Red River Set
Elements by the route. 1t will be increased.
even, by the strong commercial interest which
will inevitably soon spring up between our
people and the Americans on the Mississippi.
The political consequences are apparent. Cut
off from British interests, and intimately con-
ne cted with people whose institutions do not
differ materially from those of our Colonies
in general, it need surprise no one, if the
people of the country through which the Red
RiAer flows, by and by seek to attach them
selves more closely to this Republic. But for
the sake of preserving compact British terri
tory this tendency should be prevented-pre-
vented. of course. by the natural means at
command that is to say, by that communica-
ton being opened up at once from Canada.
To this object the attention of the proper au-
thOrities cannot too soon be directed; the
bOldness and success of the American ioneers
being only viewed as friendly stmulant.''

Statistics of Emigration.

The emigration from Great Britain during
the past year, as shown by the report of the
Commissioners just published, numbered
1892, which is smaller than any year
since 1855. The emigration to the Ameri-
can continent in 1858 was less than half that
of l847, and scarcely more than one fourth
of the average of the eight years between
1847 and 1855. The Irish emigration for
1858 amounted to rather less than 80 per
cent of the whole. The amount RENTED
by Irish settlers in America for assisting
emigration of friends during the past year
was about So, 100000, while, as the whole
Irish emigration was only 1866, the ex-
pense of it could scarcely have exceeded
81 100000. During the ten preceding years,
the sums RENTED amounted to $49, 100000
The number of emigrants who returned to
the United Kingdom in the year 1858 was
237O4, of whom there came from America
1891. Between the 1st Of January, lS47,
and the 31st December, 1854, no less than
2,444,4O8 emigrants left the United King
dom, or on an average 305, 900 year. The
highest number, 36S,764, was attained in
1s4s, 24S,OS9.

The Labor Strike in London What
is Asked.

The difficulty between the laborer and the
employers has been fostering for the past
eighteen months, and has at last broken out
in the form of strike. These skilled arti-
sans 100000 in number) comprise bricklay-
ers, masons, carpenters and joiners, plaster
ers, painters and glazers, and their average
wages is IS cd per day or ten hours. The
men demand that the hours of labor should
be reduced to nine, and that the pay should
remain as at present.. Hence the masters
allege that the movement is simply one for
an advance of wages. In addition to oppos-
ing this specific movement, which, as masters
contend, would inaict great immediate
loss upon them, and prospectively upon the
public, the great object of the masters is to
crush once and forever those trade societies
which, in their view, interfere so arbitrarily
and vexatiously in trade arrangements be-
tween the employer and his men.
There are two hundred and twenty master
builders in London, and they have entered
into combination not to employ any one
who belongs to trade union. While this
strike lasts, all building operations are
nearly suspended throughout London. The
laborers hope to hold out by contributions
from their brother artisans in other portions
of Great Britain. Capital must finally tri-
umph, for the reason that the laborers' re-
sources are soonest exhausted, and then they
must work or starve.

Catholic, he was not fit to associate po-
litically with the fastidious WINDOW Yet,

We have thus established beyond pos

Nottingham he took the degrading oaths
of the order-that he figured prominently as
member of its Grand Lodges, and that he
is stepped in the guilt and crimes which
have characterized that society from the
time of its first and most startling political
achievements. WINDOW was Know Moth
ing in Ohio, for the same reason that he is
a Republican, who "proscribes no man on
account of his religion or nativity" in Min
nesota. He is ambitious as a man and dis
honest as politician. He attaches himself
to party not to advance the interests of the
country. but to secure personal position and
profit. He would be Know Nothing in
Minnesota Disunionist in Massachusetts,
or Secessionist in the South, to accomplish
thes purposes. His theory of politics is
not is the proposition RIGHT, but will its
advocacy PAY. He, candidate on the
Republican State ticket, has taken solemn
oath that he will never support for any
Office in the gift of the American people,
German, like his associate on the ticket, Mr..
SCHEFFER, or Catholic like Mr.. DoNNELLY.
Yet disregarding this oath, he now advo-
Gates the election of both the German and
the Catholic. Does any sane man doubt
that this obligation is repudiated solely to
obtain seat in Congress Or that, if its
reafirmance to-day, would more certainly
secure to Mr.. WINDOW this coveted prize,
that he would not hesitate an instant in once
more enrolling his name as member of the
dark lantern oligarchy."
Truly, the Republicans are in bad way.
They have nominated RAMSEY, who pro-
fesses great love of the settlers of the West
and admiration of the homestead bill; yet,
when in Congress, ALEXANDER RAMSEY
invariably voted against all measures which
contemplated a reduction in the price of the
public lands, and " free homes for the home
less" They have nominated BAKER to
show their zeal for economy, honesty, and
purity in the management of the affairs of
the State yet their nominee is refugee
from the State of Ohio-a defaulter and a
public robber-a man who is universally
regarded as "venal and corrupt" and
finally, to give particular point to that por-
ton of their platform which states that
eve (the Republican party prescribe no
man on account of his religion or nativity"
they have placed in nomination WILLIAM
WINDOW, who has sworn, with one hand
upon the Holy Bible, and the other upon
the American flag" that he will alavays,
