Of exciting brisk trade in certain local..

is currently reported, but we cannot vouch
for the authority. that a returning party
of gold hunters met, in the vicinity of
Loup Fork, some individuals who have
been prominent and active in writing the
fattering letters and circulating the glow

and proceeded to administer Lynch Law
as the surest means Of redress. II is said
that they hung HENRY ALLEN and one of
bis associates, and that SAM. S. Curtis
would have suffered like fate had he not

will never be able to elect President. If
you look at the elements Of population
there you will discover that in most Of the
States the success or defeat of either party
will depend on the German vote. Being
able to turn the scale in those States, their
rote IS Of immense importance in our Ma
tional contests.-Speech Of Carl Shurtz at
Worcester, Mass.
The above is a frank confession Of the
true cause Of all the righteous indignation
of Western Republicans at the recent &C.
ton Of Massachusetts. Looking at the
matter calmly, We find that the Republi.
cans of Massachusetts are doing but little
more to dsfranchise foreign citizens than
the Republicans Of New York, Pennsyl.
vanis, New Jersey and Rhode Island have
heretofore done. In those States they
have uniformly solicited cooperation with
Know Nothingism to degrade and hunili-
ate foreigners. Republicans of the West,
sympathizing warmly with the movement
er before protested against this l ofnmr H55i
proscription-never before asserted the
political equality of the adopted citizen
On the contrary they have reproached the
Democracy as a party Of Celt and Teuton.
ic extraction, seeking to place the govern.
ment in the hands of foreigners and under
the control of priesthood. But, regard
less Of reproaches and misrepresentation,
Democrats have steadily adhered to the
patriotic policy Of securing to all, whether
native Or foreign-born, their respective
rights and equality under the Constitution.
People will not long close their eyes to
aggression. Our German friends begin to
see that Republicanism, while it vouchssfes
to the negro every political privilege, con.
verts them into mere "hewers of wood and
drawers of water Nor did it anywhere
disclaim such purpose until the revol. Of
its German strength threatened It with
utter defeat and ruin throughout the West.
"Being able TO turn the scale in those
Western States, their the German vote
Is OF immense Importance in our National
contests
Here is the whole secret Of the KAssox
protest. Republicauism in Iowa is doomed
without its foreign element. To retain
that it will even dare conflict with its
friends in the Eastern States. 1t does this
from no love to the principle, but at the
suggestion Of experience. In the East
where the American is more desirable
than the foreign vote, Republicans pro-
scribe the latter here where the American
strength is comparatively much less, they
profess An ardent sympathy for adopted
citizens. We do not believe this game
will win. The moves leave the intention
too patent for deception.

Dakota.

The opening for settlement Of new
Territory has ceased 10 be . marked event
in the history Of our progress. The rap
idity With which hardy pioneers reclaim
the wilderness and fashion new States, no
longer excites surprise, yet it is . source
Of pride and cougratulstion to every Amer
can, furnishing the most conclusive evil
dencs Of our immense resources and un-
firing enterprise. Another new and prom.
ising Geld is now open. By the ratification
of the Yancton treaty last winter the In
dian title to Dakota WAS extinguished.-
The appropriations necessary for carrying
the treaty into effect were made, and in
accordance with its provisions the Indians
will be removed during the summer to
their reserve. To those who are acquaiut
cd with this Territory no word Of COM
mendation is necessary. Lying on the
Missouri, composed for the most part Of
high table land and unexcelled forrichness,
health and natural beauty, i. offers supe-
rior inducements to all who have abun-
dance Of muscle and industry and but
limited pecuniary means. 1t needs no pc.
itical excitement or systematic putting to
secure its settlement. The intelligent
farmer, industrious mechanic and enter.
prisiDg tradesmen will at once recognize
in its superior locality and character an
appropriate field for their respective am
bition. We confidently expect to see a
large immigration tending thither this
coming fall to stake out choice farms and
erect cabins preparatory to cultivation
next season. Had the thousands who
have chased the gold bubble, turned to
the unoccupied territory, and with brave
hearts and honest toll, broke and planted
and reaped the virgin soil what, important
additions would now be made to our al
ready extensive, reliable and promising
sources of individual and national wealth
Those who seek comfortable homes and
the rewards of industrial pursuits may
venture into Dakota without fear Of being
victimized or impoverished.

Having already felt it to be our right to COM
ment on the effect of Judge KENp's refusal to
accept his commission, we must take the liberty
to say now, what we meant to have said Yesterday.
that his ''card, y published in an afternoon paper
does not strike us as particularly well considered
We do not think The american departed from the
line, either of courtesy or fair argument in suq-
costing that his course was so damaging to Mr.
WHTYEY's claims, as to render it quite as neces-
sary to the vindication of the STATES ATTORNEY
to indict him for libel, as any other indi-
vidual whatever. Nor do we find that the Judge
is "thrust into' any position at all further, than
he has himself voluntarily stepped We gave
him the credit of having acted entirely on his
town convictions" which must have led him to
the conclusion that he could not take office under
the pseudo election of the I'd instant, without
personal discredit. If these are the Judges town
sssentments'' abont his own case, which differed
from that of Mr.. WHITNEY in the fact that nothing
but the interference of Mr.. WHlTNEY's brieand
friends prevented Mr.. KEMP from receiving every
vote in Baltimore, it is impossible that the public
will fail to draw the inference that he must think
Mr.. WHITNEYs as much worse-as it really
