The Steubenville NetrS expresses the
opinion that Capt. DANFoRD will be re-
elected to Congress by larger majority
(about S,400) than he was In 1872. This,
too, Notwithstanding the Temperance
people have put nominee in the field.
That nominee, by the way, has not &C.
cepted the honor rendered him, 80 far as
we have seen, and 1t is quite possible that
he will not. The first nominee, the Rev.
Mr.. MELoY, declined the honor
twice, and gave as reason that
the platform and candidate Of the
Bellaire Convention were satisfactory TO
him under the circumstances. Still, the
Prohibition brethren were bound to have
a candidate, and failing in Mr.. MEIoY
they conscripted a gentleman who was
not present. The Martins Ferry NetuS
says that the Convention that nominated
him was "shameiully small" but still it
calls on the people to vote for him, This
advice they arc not likely to take to any
great extent. The people will prefer MIR.
MELoY's course as being more sensible and
practical. They are not going to be used
to elect BoYLEs to Congress. They do not
propose TO have Prohibition mixed with
every meal they eat. Even the children
Of Israel got surIeited with qusils and gag.
ged on them badly at last. The columns
Of the NelrS attest that the interest mani.
fested in the Steuben7ille Conven-
ton was small indeed. 1t complains
for instance that there were only ten dele.
gates present all told, and eight Of these
were from Jefferson county, where the
convention was held. This Is equal to
the three Tailors Of London who held q
convention and wrote the famous pro-
nunciamento commencing I'VE the peo-
Pile Of England" The people Of the 10th
District will pay but little more attention
to the Steubenville decem.virate than the
people Of England did to the ridiculous
lrium.virste referred 10.

New YORK, Sept. 24.-The Assistant
United States District Attorney who went
to Europe last spring to obtain evidence
against importers in cases Of importstions
At alleged under valuations, has returned.
He says he found the German government
greatly incensed against this government,
because as it was thought II had issued
commissions to its Consuls in Europe au-
thorlziDg them to cite importers before
them for the purpose Of extorting informa.
ton in respect to the invoices made out
IN Europe. Acting upon that supposilion
the German government had informed

to execute those commissions their exc
quators would be revoked.

TIE BLACK HILLS HUMBUG.
Full and later reports received here in,
dictate that the recent glowing accounts
from the Black Hills country arc entirely
unreliable, and confirm the opinion o.
Prof. Winchel that there are no valuable
minerals IN that country. Col. Fred
Grant, who accompanied the expedition
under special instructions to report upon
It's geological character, says that the
rock on which 1t Is claimed gold was
discovered Is Of a metsmorphic character
in which no precious minerals have ever
been found. Not over three dollars
worth was brought under bis observation
during the entire expedition, and 1t Is q
question whether this was not imported
into that section. Tho timber Is spruce
and yellow pine and valueless for lumber.
The area Of tillable land is very small
there not being enough for dozen good
sized farms. The Sioux Commission
lately sent 10 negotiate with the Red
Cloud and Spotted Tail bands went in
their explorations 10 the base Of the
Black Hills, on the south side, and give
substantially the same views as Grant re.
garding the value OF the country and the
absence of minerals. The President is
emphatic in his determination TO carry
out the orders Of Gen. Sheridan 10 pre-
vent all invasion Of this country by in.
trnders so long as by law and treaty It Is
