DEAR REGISTER Not that aspire 70,
newspaper notoriety, but believing that
plain statement Of facts in regard to the
Government Contract for hay at this
place, is demanded BY the people, 1 sub
nit the following facts
j. H. Fowler, acting Quarter Master,
adve ,ised for l25 tons of hay at Iank,on,
81 tons at Sioux Falls, 2j tons at Turkey
Ridge, all of which hay l bid on. The
Turkey Ridge was awarded to me, the
fankton to n. Edmunds, the principal
clerk in the Surveyor Generals office :;
the Sioux Falls to Mr.. Lamson, clerk No.
IN the Surveyor Generals office. Mark
you, the hay is to be delivered at Yank,
ton, but as there is no hay nearer than
three miles, they concluded they would
move their camp to where the hay is,
rather thaa put Edmunds to the expense
OF hauling the hay three miles. Hearing
that tho hay was to be stacked on the
ground where cut, and knowing that it
could be dohe for considerable less
smount of money than Edmunds' bid, |
went to Quartermuster Fowler and asked
him II the contracts for hay had been clos.
ed. He informed me that they we're not,
and that he had the right TO let il by
private contract, provided any one would
put it up cheaper than Edmunds then
notified him that, provided the hay was
stacked on what is known as Dupess
Bluff, that would put it up for less than
Ed'nunds' bid, and that il it was stacked
on the ground where cut, that would put
1t up for a considerable less sum than to
haul and stack on the bluff. He (Fowler)
promised me that he would ascertain
where the camp was to be locAed-would
inform me, and receive my proposals for
putting up the hay. Since which time
have repeatedly inquired Of Qusrtermas.
ter Fowler whether they had selected the
location for winter quarters, but could ge.
no satisfaction. The contract was closed
with Edlnunds' bid and sub-let to different,
persons in small lots at the same price he
receives to be stacked on the ground
where cut, which is not less than three
miles from town, where the advertisement
| requires the delivery. For what purpose
was this done3 The impression in this
community Ia, that it was to secure votes
for Jayne. Your readers can form their
own conclusions. But one thing am
positive of that the conduct of such
friends as Gov. Jarnc has in the Surveyor
Generals office. will do him more harm
than good OBED FOOTE.
The contract was awarded to Edmunds
at " s5-l00 per ton. Yet, | Was present
when Obed Foote informed Mr. Fowler,
the Assistant Quartermaster, that he
would put up the hay on the ground
where IL WAS to be cut, at the rate Of two
dollars and twenty-five cents per ton

traitorous Caliifer Glaze, of Vermillion,
advocates Injuries the same. There is no
better evidence of the popularity of any
measure than to fiud him denouncinc it.
The Vermilion Republican simply reflects
the views Of the "indoent family domin.
alton" who hang round Old Sans Hotel.
crying in smothered tones, Jayne is the
man.
The only honorable course Jayne can
pursue is, to say 10 the people of Dakota,
| have done nothing for you-I have not
labored for the interest of Dakota-I have
been rewarding my friends in Illinois,
have no comm on interest with you-I pro-
cured my nomination through fraud and
deception-I know Lamson and Pbesen.
den-never saw Charles Mix nor Brughier
counties, but it was necessary to have
their votes to nominated know very
well l have acted dishonorably and I
cannot blame you for not supporting me.
He would then tell the truth
Now, tits we'll known that he has told
some homes. citizens Of the Territory th a.
he intended to raise one or two military
companies, and he could give places to
several persons in said companies, but the
citizens of Dakota know that if any such
thing was possible, he would send for
some Suckers or Michiganders to 6ll the
offices. Jayne's course in the present
canvass very much reminds me of the
Devil when he took the Saviour on the
mountain and offered him all the country
round about but at the same time owned
not one acre. Oh Jayne! you won't dp
to trust, and the people know it.
II. ID. Belts had 1.-THE strings on YOU
last summer; if SO, it would have been a fine
thing for the Territory if they would have
choked you. The people have the strings
this time aud they are determined to use
them. You cant frighten the people of
Dakota by threatening them with your
veto. You cant irighten them b, threat.
euing to withhold the money honestly due
them from the Indians You cant pur-
chase their votes by promises Of military
commissions, for they have no confidence
that you will fulfill them.
| have been 10 every county in Southern
Dakota, and know the facts set forth in
this article to be true. l have the FIRST
county to find where Jayne willget major
ity Of the votes l further know tha.
Swell Head Lamson, alias Pro Bono
Padhco,' when he wrote TO the Vcrmilion
Republican, that he had seen every voter
in that county. and that all the Norwe.
gians were going to vote for Jayne, ut.
tered al unmtigated falsehood
No more until after the election, when
| will send you correct description of
the political death and burial of Bill
Jayne.

And drift upon the vein of principle

. 4 proposition. has been submitted hr q
1:;emlcr Of the Convention, to permit OUT
gallant soldiers 10 vote on the Lecomrton
Constitution which the Egyptian secession
ISIS a1e matching. But it has been smoth-
cred in the drawer Of a committee room.
The conspirators are afraid to record their
votes against the proposition in open Con
vcntion. Every man that would so vote,
would ezer more be marked By the SOL
dic1s and their friends But if they should
adopt it, and let our citizens in the army
vote, it is feared that the pro-slavery Con
.stitution~ they arc concocting, would be
votcd down by the soldiers
Sixty. thousand Of the best men
of our State arc thus to be dis
franchised. An organic law is to be
imposed upon them in regular Lecomp-
Ton style. Aaer fighting the battles Of
their country, when they return home it
will be to find that snap Judgment has been
taken On them, and that a Constitution,
odious and abnorrent in their eyes, has
been forced upon the State in their absence
1y the; friends and sympathisers OF the
rebels.
The Lccomptonites viii discover in the
end that honesty is the best policy, and
That they would do well to let the Illinois
soldiers have a chance to vote On amend-
mepts to the Illinois Constitution They
will come to grief if they don't. They will

The following paragraph, from the last Of
Russelrs letters received on this side, is incon-
sistcnt with much that he has written, and
with the general tenor Of the letter in which it
appears, and is evidently a reluctant confession
Of tie strength Of the Government and Of the
prospect of a speedy suppression Of the rebel
lion, which even narTow- minded and spite
ful English1nan cannot fail to sec nor have the
face entirely to deny:
"The action at DrainesyiIle has given this
army more confidence, and has been admitted
by the Confedcratcs to be serious disaster
for their rnen. The superior arms Of the Fed
eralists must, in the long run, establish NOR
ii rs well as . physical advantage over their
opponents. A fowling piece is but poor
match for an Enfield rifle. While the South is
cut off from Europe, unless by the chaucepas-
sage Of Oft Tessel through the blockade, the
North is importing argus by tens Of thousands,
and thc Hamburg steamers each week arc
fTeig1ted with munitions of var for the Fed
era1 troops. All that ought to give victory, in
numbers, wealth, and resources, is on their
side, and still their progress is not sure, and is
| very slow. But Of its ultimate rapidity and
| success ] have 10 doubt, and never had any,
