The Boston Black Hills Expedition.

Another meeting of those interested
in the expedition forming under the
auspices of DR.. VIM. Wright, was
held in Boston on the 10th inst. Adj
dresses were made by d. X. Allen,
President, and Judge w. w. Brook
ing, of Dakota Territory. Letters and
kilograms from Mr.. j. S. White, of
Philadelphia, were read, in which he
expressed the opinion, founded upon
experience, that the Goth of April was
too early for parties TO leave, on &C
count of the backward spring in the
west. And, rs the Philadelphia party
is to leave on May lst, the question of
postponing the day Of departure until
the first of next month was debated
and finally agreed to by n large ma
jority. The chairman of the commit
tee on transportation stated that sew
eraI members of the organization had
already started for the 'front.'" and if
any others were ready to 60 and deter
mined to do so, that he was prepared
to carry them from Boston to the
Black Hills, but he recommended
them to wait for the main body, A
number of names were added to the
roll.

Chief Justice Shannon, of Dakota
Territory, charged the Grand Jury, Mt
Yankton, the other day, that it was
its duty to inquire into all violations
,of law, on the part of persons invad-
ing the Indim reservations within
that Territory, and to present the VIC
latOrs to the court.
This is the worst advertisement for
Iankton we have seen rs yet. For
months the advantages of YanktOn,
as an Quitting point and the best
starting point to the Black Hills, has
been industriously sounded by'Yauk-
ton interests, and now comes their
presiding Judge, who proposes to in
dict, try and convict all who take that
route to the Black Hills, and perhaps
hang, draw and quarter them. The
attractions for a trip to the new FL
dorado, via Yankton, are toe many,
and the attentions threatened to be
paid to the miners who go that way
are not encouraging.

places. Three passenger trains will
DC due from The west to-day.
Sidney, Notwithstanding its unin-
viting location aRd rePuLsive appear
ance, Is not without friends. 1t is iput
on aecout Of any merits the place has
in and Of itself, or Of any advantages
hat the surrounding country pos
ses-cs, that has raised w these friends
for it, hut simply because its friends
hate Cheyenne and its Interests, and
sseH to make of Sidney L rival. But
it i up hill work. Cen. Ord was one
of these friends, and ne used his posi-
ton in the army, and permitted other
officers in his department to use their
| positions also, to favor the building
of that place at the expense of this.
But the effort only demonstrated hat
in the nature of things Sidney cannot
become u competing point, for the
northern trade, with Cheyenne. To
begin with, II has not the facilities Of
an Quitting point. y few d%isreput-
able saloons, and a couple of one horSe
eating houses are its principal attrac-
tions. The route north, towards the
Indian agencies, may uptly be termed
a dcsolate, sandy waste. Gen. Ord
was not able to alter this condition of
things in his day, and it continues.
All the freighters who were obliged to
travel over il last fall are agreed that
the route is u bad one, and will CON
tinuc To grow Verse a. it is used more.
This route was befriended by General
Ord, not that he disliked it less but
Cheyenne more. But he Is gone now,
and Sidney has lost its best friend.
For n long time it was a puzzle to
know why this military officer acted
rs he did. 1t was shrewdly surmised
that Omaha and the Union Pacific
Railroad interests had much to do
with him. 1t r. pretty well under
stood now that they had.
Omaha and the Union Pacific Rail
road Company have no desire to see
the country between Cheyenne and
Montana opened up to settlement.
There is a competing railroad at this
point, that has drawn largely, within
the past year, from the profits of the
Union Pacific, on local traffic. If the
country north shall be opened up,
then it will, II the present humor of
/ our people continues, and it is quite
likely that it viii. draw still more
largely from the profits Of that road.
Hostility has provoked hostility, and
it would he foolish to expect that
Omaha will build up a trade in North
ern Wyoming or at Cheyenne, by its
But the time is fast approaching when
the country, known as the Big Horn,
Powder River, Tongue River and
Yellowstone countries, will be opened
up to settlement, because MGrC is q
pU6iic dcmdnd for il. Omaha and
the Union Pacific want it made into
an Indian reservation for the Sioux,
and its settlement by whites pre-
vented, if possible. We mistake the
signs of the times very much if they
willnot fail in this, and we predict
hat two-thirds OF the freight that now
passes westward to Corinne, destined
for Montana, will be unloaded from
the cars in Cheyenne within n year,
aud be treighted across the Big Horn
and Yellowstone country to its des-
tinatiOn.
