Ihe Three Practical Miners who
Accompanied Gen. Clusters Expe-
dttton COMtrOvert Prof. Win.
chell's Statement.

BISMARCK, Sept. l5.--The under
signed, who accompanied Gen. Clusters
expedition to the Black Hills. having
read report made by Prof. Winchell
to the Geological Society Ct Minnesota,
stating that 10 gold is to be found in
the Black Hills, pronounce his state
ment unqualifiedly false.
Prof. Winchell knew nothing of the
gold section prospected; does not know
gold quartz when found, and does not
know gold country when in it. If
Prof. ". had paid more attention in
looking after gold discoveries, and less
after deer horns and other useless curl
osities, he probably could have given
more truthful description of the coun-
try. Without exaggeration we found
diggings that would pay no less than
ten dollars per day per man. As an
evidence of our sincerity We are ready
and willing to accompany an expedition
there whenever permission can be oL-
tanned from the proper authorities.
We refer to Gen. Caster for our re-
sponsibility and the truth of our state
ments. JSo. W. SMITH,

A Grnnge Railway.

The narrow gauge railroad from Sa-
linas to Monterey, in California, is al
most completed. This is literally a
grangcr's railroad. The project was
first broached, discussed, and organized
in the grange. The stockholders are
nearly all grangers, the directors all
grangers but one, and it is nearly all
grangers' money that has built it, and
the grangers are going to patronize it
and send their wheat to Monterey, and
load it on board a vessel chartered by
grangers, and get the returns through
the grangers' bank, Of San Francisco.

Henry Ward Bcccher as a Granger.

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher addressed
the Caledonia fair at Johnsbury, Vt,
Tuesday. Over eight thousand persons
were present. His subject was, "What
don't know about farming.' He was
brought on the fair grounds in an open
phaeton, and looked splendid as he
drove up to the sound of martial music,
and was greeted with loud cheers by
the assembled thousands. His speech
was frequently interrupted with loud
cheers and hearty laughter. At the
close of the address he was driven to
the railroad depot.

PROF. WINCHELL S STATEMENT.

Prof. Winchell said that he did not
see any gold in the Black Hills, nor did
any one bring any to him for examina-
ton. Some brought what they thought
was gold bearing quartz, but on cxami-
nation he found it to be mica scales
stained with iron rust. Iron often gets
into mica and colors it, causing frequent
mistakes in that way. He would not
say but what there was gold there, and
some parties may have discovered gold,
but he saw none, and therefore he was
of the opinion that there was none
there. lie was led to believe that the
reports Of gold were groundless from
another reason, viz: that the character
Of the men who talked up the cxpcdi-
tion urging the government to explore
the Black Hills, would lead any one to
distrust their statements. These men
were miners and advcnturcrs who pro-
fess to be practical miners, but who have
always lived on and profitcd by excite
ment. They were stock jobbers who
probably own extinct claims now in
different parts of the country and who
wish to profit out Of this expedition.
He did not say that Gen. Custer or the
military authorities have been intlu-
enced by these men. They may have
been practical miners but they were
also practical schomers.
The reporters accompanying the OK.
pedition derived all their information
concerning the reported gold discover
les from those men, and so did General
Custer. No one but these men pre-
tended to have taken out any gold, or
to have seen any anywhere. 1t would
have been very easy for them, with the
view Of raising this excitement, to have
taken with them quantity Of gold
dust and then washed it in their pans.
lie would not say that they did so, but
that they might have done SO, and i'll
deed the possibilities for so doing were
so great that he thought it a good rca-
son for distrusting their statement.

the friends of Mr.. Denison present
BIN as candidate for Congress, claim
ing that he is a republican, that if elect
cd he will act with the republican party
aid at all times for the true interests OF
republican principles, that at no time
has he ever thought or indicated that he
would do different. 1t is also claimed
that Judge Poland having withdrawn,
there is no reason why republicans gen
orally should not support Mr.. Denison,
and that at the present time be is quite
as regular as any other candidate in
the field. 1t is claimed also that the
regular republican district committee,
having called no convention to fill the
vacancy, occasioned by the withdrawal
of Judge Poland, they have tacitly con-
sented to the nomination of Mr.. Denison
by the people, and that the republicans
having thus made no formal or official
opposition to him, every republican will
do his whole duty best, and in the most
practical manner, by voting for Dudiey
G. Denison.

The Cornwall Election Case.

sCRIMMAGE AMONG THE COUNSEL.
The hearings before the committee on
elections of the Cornwall contested cleo
ton case, appears to occupy somewhat in
interest the hearings before the asylum
investigating committee in the legisla-
ture of 1872. Large numbers of the
members attend the hearings instead of
other meetings or lectures and the hall
of the representatives has been granted
to the committee on elections, when the
House is not in session, till the case is
disposed of Much interest has been ex-
cited in it and some of the ablest coun-
sci in the state have been engaged in it.
On Thursday evening of last week two
of the counsel, both usually among the
coolest men Of our state, became excited
and scrimmage ensued. Hon. E. j.
Phelps, counsel for the contestant, missed
from the table some of the papers be-
longing in the case, and charged Daniel
Roberts, Esq, counsel for the sitting
member, with having purloined them
Mr.. Roberts replied that the accusation
was wilfully and maliciously false
whereupon Mr.. Phelps, who was sitting
near Mr.. Roberts, rose suddenly and
made a pass at Mr.. Roberts with his
clenched fist. The blow was warded of
by the raised arm of Mr. Ro berts. The
two then closed in, and for an instant
there was disgraceful scene, till they
were parted by the interference of mem
bers of the committee and spectators
| Quiet was at once restored, and the hear
ing proceeded without further Interrupt
ton.

A STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN.
/" Stuck"

A gallant soldier in the western part
of this county who carries various scars
from a long and distinguished service in
the Union army, writes us very strongly
in favor of Judge Poland. He is very
decided that the duty Of the hour is to
stick" He says:
" Within a few days l have met some
of our most prominent Windham county
men, and with them discussed the ap-
preaching election. The question natu-
rally arose, What are we to do? What
course ought the friends Of Judge Po-
land to pursue?' l found them unani.
nous in feeling that Windham county
should never countenance the election of
any but the regular republican nominee,
and that there is yet a fair prospect by
united effort, general assault along the
whole line, that the friends of Judge Po-
land may yet win. To do this needs on
~ that it be generally understood among
ourselves that we propose to and lCid
" stick" The article in last weeks
TIMES, quoted from Montpelier daily
shows just how the present state Of things
was brought about, and that if oul
friends will rally it is not yet too late t.
set matters Alright"
Bellows Falls times. [volume] (Bellows Falls, Vt.) 1856-1965, 1874-10-30

AS to probabilities from the letters
we have received and persons we have
seen during the last few days we judge
that there will be light vote, and that
in Windham county the republicans will
mostly vote for Poland and that Deni-
sons vote will be considerably increased
in the county from September. In
Windsor county the Denison men are
active, but up to Wednesday we hear of
no activity there among the Poland men.
The county will of course largely vote
for Denison.

A Famine in Nebraska,

Death from starvation for the actual
want of food is calamity that stares in
the face 1000 men, women aud children,
within eighteen hours travel of Chicago
and in the heart of grain-growing re-
gion of the country. General Ord, com.
manding the department of the Platte,
and who is personally cognizant Of the
facts, addressed the board of trade, on
Friday, says Chicago dispatch, telling
in plain, direct terms the sad story of
the restitution in Western Nebraska,
caused by the ravages of the grasshop-
pers. From the reports of his officers
on the ground and among these people,
he has trustworthy information as to the
actual condition of affairs. He states
that several cases of actual death have
already taken place. Fathers have
been compelled to abandon their fami-
lies and seeks@work and food. In one
hour the corpse of child was found
that had persisted for want of food, and
near il the mother, PROSTATE and dying
from'the same cause. He states that in
Boone, Greeley, Sherman, Howard, Buff
falo, and all other counties fifty miles
west of the Missouri River, two-thirds of
the people are destitute of all the neces-
saries of life. They have neither cloth
ing nor shoes, and food is impossible to
get. A committee to take steps for the
relief of these poor people was appoint
ed as follows; Messrs. Geo. Armour L.
2. Letter, George G. Walker, John L.
Hancock, c. NJ. Henderson, John B.
Drake, n. R. Fairbank, EGson Keith,
w. NJ. Egan and G. G. Cooley. They
will receive and forward contributions of
flour, meal, pork, or bacon, for food.
They want shoes, shawlg, blankets, coats,
pantaloons and stockings.
