WE caution our friends against u
little game of brag being practiced in
the present city canvass. a day or two
since we were told by single friend
of about a dozen good democrats who
he had heard were going to vote the
radical ticket On inquiry we found
that every one of them was going to
vote the democratic ticket. Such re-
ports.are first whispered mildly, but
soon gain currency. They are started
for effect, the wish being father to the
rumor. Old salts will be gulled by no
such dOdges.n - .....-a- 40 ~

. j Hbsrs Is something almost APPALLING in the
picture Of the region bordering the Northern
Pacific Railroad In Dakota, as it is presented
by Major Gen. Hazen in q letter on our second
page. Stationed at military post at the
mouth Of the Yellowstone River, and having
been there for some years, he is in far better
position to judge of the facts than the most
expert and Observant of transient visitors
could possible be. The cOnstrast between his
statements. fortified by statistics and personal
experience. and thedescriptons and estimates
cOncering the fertility and saluSriiy of that
section which were sOwn broadcast over the
country when theNorthern PaciGcRailroad Sc
curiteS were in market, is more than maTve-
lous; it Is inexpressibly shocking.
Since the days when. pending the purchase
OF Russian America, wehad spread before us
the bewitching details of possible Strawberries
ard tropical fruits, bathed in the yapors of the
huro Siwo and covering in wild luxuriance
the slopes of Kodiac and Ounalaska, waiting
only. for ADglo-Saxon thrift and energy to
pour forth their abundance, there has been no
such. wonderful bending Of isotbermal lines
and high temperatures into higher latitudes. as
those descriptiOns-n0w, alas, only too famil-
ier-Of the region which the Northern Pacific
Railroad, was to "develop." | seemed impos-
sible to doubt, in tire face of such assurances,
that there the long Winters of the North were
tempered with an ethereal mildness, aud the
brief Summers practically heightened by de-
licious Autumn, and that abundant haryests
would readily reward the labors of the huj-
bandman. The correspondence of THE TRI-
BUNE from the Yellowstone Expedition told,
| however, different story, and gave for the
| first time glimpse of the barrenuess and de
ISOLATION of the route. But the accounts
which Gen. Hazen gives cover other features
| that could not be seen by a traveller in mid
Summer The beautiful Indian Summer is
succeeded within ten days by cold of twenty
seven degrees below Zero. In the terrible
storms of those Winters there is death to man
and beast; even the hardy buffalo succumbs.
Even the cold is not the worst. The lana is
not fertile Crops fail for want of moisture,
except on the very banks of rivers. To culti-
yate a garden plot ten feet by forty giving
three weeks of flowers, three barrels of water
day had to be brought from the nearest
stream. In short, nothing can be done to
make this grain-growlng region till some
scheme Of irrigation can take visible shape

accuracy of his observations or the fidelity ot

Mr.. Corcoran's Gard.

1t seemed to us hardly necessary to take any
notice OF Gov. Shepherds attack upon Mr. Cor
coran as a "prptonded taxpayer" Both men are
so well known, and their characters-or at least
their regulations so strongly contrasted that
the Indecent language of tho Governor OF the Dis
tlct respecting Que of Its principal citizens, while
it did no harm to. MIR. Corcoran, was genera'ly
looked upon a. dlsgraeeiui % Mr.: Sheppard. A
gentleman swllo has paid over 900 in taxes
during the current yaar cannot very we'll be call
ed "pretended taA payer and the fact that he
ressts the pay nicHt OF further assessments which
he declares to be Illegal, surely does not take
away his right to petition Congress for redress,
especially while the assessments remain lien
upon his pre- cperty. Ii is q curious circumstance
that when Mr. Curcoran wrote q temperate reply
TO Mr.. Shepherds memorial setting forth Certain
particulars deeply Interesting and important to
all tho Taxpayers of the District, he could not
procure the publication of 1t IN Washington, but
was obliged to carry It to Baltimore, when it
promptly appeared in The Sun of that city.
Perhaps an incident mentioned by MIR. Cor
coran may give clue TO the close relations ev-
identity aubslsting between the District newspa-
per, aad the District Ring 81 was approach
ed, he says. "hy an editor and proprietor OF one
of the daily pa )er5 Of this District, and promi-
nent in The late assault upon me, with request
that he be allowed to take my general tax bills
and return them to me receipted, asking for that
generous and patriotic service the amount Of the
account, less sixteen per cent, wneh ta3 Payu'e
were then, by law, only allowed six per cent dis
count; and tender myself ready, when proper
Iy called on, to name other cases in which gen
eral layes ior the current year have been paid
subiect to this excessive discount" This is 6
statement into which The Committee Of Inves,i
CATION must make rigid iuquiry. There ii
certainly something very wrong indeed when al
extra discount of ten per cent is allowed to th'
special frieuds of The Ring in the payment o
taxes, and We should like to know how the book
of the District Government are balanced unde
this extraordinary system of favoritism.-N 7
