The Scissors Editor.

Some people estimate the ability
ola newspaper and the talent Of its
editor by the quantity of original
matter. 1t is comparatively an easy
task for a frothy writer to pour out
daily columns of words words upon
any and all subjects. His ideas may
flow in one weak, washy, everlasting
food, and the command Of his Ian
guage may enable him to string them
together like punches of onions, and
yet his paper may be Ineagre and
poor concern. Indeed the mere
writing part Of editing paper is but
small portion OF the work. The
care, the time employed in selecting
is far more important, and the tact of
a good editor is better shown by his
selections than anything else; and
that, we know, is half the battle.
But, as we have said, an editor ought
to be estimated, and his labor under
stood and appreciated by the general
conduct of his paper--its tone, its
uniform, consistent course, its aims,
its management, it's dignity, and its
propriety. To preserve these as they
should be preserved is enough to oc-
cupy fully the time and attention of
any man. If to this be added the
general supervision of the newspaper
establishment, which most editors
have to encounter, the wonder is
how they find time to write at all.

The Black Hills.

Some two months ago, Genera! Gus
ter started upon an expedition for the
purpose Of exploring the mysterious
camping grounds Of the Sioux Indians,
known 40 the Black Hills. His CON-
mand consisted Of about 1900 persons,
5000 mules aud horses and sone 700
wagons. The march out from Fort
Lincoln, D. T., and return, occupied
just sixty.one days and covered 1880
miles. The trip wan full Of incidents
and excitement, although nothing seri-
ously hostile occurred. The Indians
nassed together 4 several points - If
intending 70 dispute the right Of tho
expedition to proceed. but they eau
tiously kept away, although the
region numbers many thousand war
riors. Great efforts have been made
to torture the expedition into political
significance. Of this class the Dis.
patch has been most prominent, and
the very few papers in the State which
adopt it. editorials as 50 many chapters
in their political creed have faithfully
copied its opinions. Tho trip was
made in the interest Of the government;
tirst. with the view Of ascertaining the
topography Of the country, its adapta-
bility 70 settlement and cultivation, the
extent aud value Of its mineral depos-
its; and, second, the temper Of the
tribes now holding undispuled possess
ion. The reports which appeared from
time Ia time during the march, abound
with laudatory descriptions; and there
seems to Be no doubt that the new re-
g;on presents very strong Inducements
to civilization, while the idea prevails
generally, that for mini ing purposes Il
Is equal to California in is palmiest
days; and for this purpose We hear Of
numerous parties forming, and soon Is
start il search Of gold; but Is the title.

The nomination Of Judge Waite by the
Anti Monopoly Convention,is not as we'll
received by the people as his friends ex.
pected. His nomination was the result
Of spasm. It was plainly foreseen
that Coggswell, with his hermaphroditic
politics, could not be successful, and that
Buell's record on the question Of "points"
for the Southern Minnesota Railroad,
would fink the party which should I'M
dertake to float him. In this emergency
some one thought Of Judge Waite, and
the convention adopted him, only to find
out when it was too late, that he is .
heavier (D candidate than they can car
ry. The fact that he IS q Bourbon Dem
ocrat, is being realized by the masses, ~
they are learning that he was nominated
by the Democratic party,-that there is
no IRE form" ia the movement at the
head Of which he has been placed. When
it: is understood that the organixationsis
placed under the control sof such demo.
Gratis as John G. Wise, j. H.. cKenny,
and w. ]. Whipple, and that those men
are to conduct the canvass, it will begin
to dawn upon the public comprehension
that the candidate, if elected will also be
controlled by them, and their confieres in
the interest Of the democratic party The
nine thousand majority which voted for
Mr.. Dunnell two years ago, will not
transfer their suffrage, or their allegiance
for the purpose of sending to Congress a
representative whose belief, and whose
action has always been ut variance with
the principles upon which the govern.
nlent was built, and upon which it ex-
lists o-day. -.-.-.s--s::,,- : - .,,r.. :

NO BONDS.

Il transpires that during the last
three years Of McIlrath's 3oaioi.l life,
the State held no bond as surety for
for his good behavior. Horace Austin
was Governor ct the time, and the
blame, if any attaches, rests upon him.
The Press Of Tuesday alledges that by
long practice i had grown to be Gus.
tom to regard the oath and bondsmen
ct IN o6eer who had been reelected,
. eoatissiag . tAs end Of bic new
tam, and il attempts 70 justify the
practice under the rule which makes
an official hold his position until s.suc-
cessor is elected and qualified" We
seldom find such reasoning q this in
the Press columns.
No bondsman undertakes to be re-.
sponsible for the acts Of an officer BE-
yond tho term Of Office for which the
incumbent was chosen. The law has
construed the word .term" to mean
not only some precise period Of time
designated, but such additional time as
circumstances necessarily may require
an officer to discharge tho duties Of
his position. IF for any reason there
is delay in the qualification Of sue
ccssor, the bondsmen Of the incumbent
sustain the same liability during that
delay that they did before the election
Of . successor; but whom 40 officer lis
re-elected and thereby becomes his own
successor. the liability Of his. bondsmsn
ceases upon his re-in,s urastiist;n; II aes.
the State has 40 omcial Indemnity for
losses which i may have sustained by
Mc1lrath during his last torn.
