unknown ina was found in Oakland
creek, rear the Webster-street bridge.
His throat was cut and the wound Of

peared from tile American Exchans go
Hotel, OF this city, about 10 days ago,
the body having evidently been in The
water about that time. Last evening
the Coroner held an inquest on the re-
mains. The physician who examined
the body declined to express an opin-
ion whether it was a cast of murder or
suicide, though his evidence tended to
support The former theory. The in

hopes of Identifying the body.

Governor Garland has issued proclama,
ton appointing Thursday, March %, as a day
of thanksgiving for the many blessings which
have been showered on the state during the
past twelve months Referring to the adop-
ton OF the Poland report, the Governor
says:
1--WE have been sustained by the true con.
servative republican sentiment III the North,
which is one of the most gratifying features
connected with our struggle, and one OF
which we should feel PROUD, and we should
strive by all means to prove ourselves worthy
of this endorsement so emphatically given by
those supposed to differ with us politically,
and who were begged and lmportuned under
all circumstances to put us down. With all
we have undergone, if our cause has been
the occasion Of harmonizing and uniting the
liberal and conservative elements in the ma
ton that have heretofore been coidant we
are more thar paid, and it should be one oiour
chief duties TO see that they be kept together
hereafter. AS Governor of the State, enjoin
upon all persons now to see that peace and
order are preserved, all violations of law
promptly looked after, and that those ngagcd
in them be arrested and brought ." answer

THE BLACK HILLS DISCREP-
ANCY.

II was Colonel Fred. Grant, we be-
lievc, who, returning from the Black
Hills, reported that there was no gold
worth speaking OF there, while General
Custer of the same expedition, stated
that there was plenty of gold and in
paying quantities almost everywhere
in that region. 1t was propably to re-
solve this discrepancy of the witnesses
that the government resolved to send
out q second expedition which should
settle the matter and tell the world the
truth about the gold of the Black Hills.
And now this second expedition being
heard from simply repeats the discrcp.
ancy. Colonel Dodge, commanding
the expedition, reports, or is said to
report, that they have found abund-
ancc of gold in the hils--in some places
so plenty that from s25 to 500 a day
can be panned out but the same cour-
ier brings dispatch from Prof. jan
ncy, the gcologist of the expedition,
and he says that although he has pros
pectcd much, he has nowhere found
gold plenty enough to pay day wages
to Chnaman.
What is the meaning of all this ?
Cannot the truth be found out about
the Black Hills2 There are strange
tales told about the doleful physical
effects on travellers of crossing certain
well known Rocky Mountain streams !;
can II be that some creek must be
crossed in order TO reach the Black
Hills, which has equally disastrous

the Dodge report forgery, one of the
numerous fraudulent stories sent forth
by tho Chicago-C Cheyenne agency for
enticing gullible emigrants into buying
Black Hills outfits, and paying for
Black Hills transportation We trust
that IT will not be necessary for the
government to send forth third cx-
pedition to get straightforward an
