SEVENTY NINE DAYS FROM
. !. :. + III. II .s.> =, SIOUX CITY, @
Ten Days From Bismarck. u

B. B. Logan, formerly Of Eau Claire,
Wisconsin, who went to The Black Hills
last October with the Sioux City party,
writes his wife. now keeping boarding
house in Minneapolis, that their party
was seventy-nine days on the road, hav-
ing had to travel much of the way to
dodge the military and Indians, arriv-
ing at Bear Butte on December 16th,.
where they struck Clusters trail, which
led them direct to Clusters Park. Here
they erected stockade, where they re-
mained without .molestation until Feb.
7th, when Gordon and Wicher left,
hoping to return with provisions and
reinforcements. w t.s; zt, .zf, ,.g,f,.l ,,5
The party originally consisted Of
twenty !six-one of whom showed the
white feather and returned, and one has
since died. They have provisions only
to last until April fifteenth, and are
exceedingly anxions for reinforcements
and supplies to be sent them BY that
time. They have done but little pros
pecting, but enough to fully satisfy them,
and Logan rocked out four dollars, the
afternoon before Gordon left, from earth
which he-,s confident will yield twenty
dollars a day per man, properly worked.
~ He speaks Of Onster's official report,
fully confirming his statements, and
reports finding rich silver prospects. a.
No snow fell in the Hills until the 1st
of January; then about SIX inches Of
light snow have fallen since. The eli

TERRITORIAL NEWS.

Yankton has 1888 school children, 100
voters, and total population Of 1852.
Secretary Hand is acting Governor Of
Dakota for the present.
The Yankton Herald intimates in
rather strong language that Col. Moody
was paid three thousand dollars for his
success in repeating the personal prop.
erty exemption law. The Col. denies the
repeal of that law, but some others
think differently.
Workmen are engaged at Grand
Forks, Dakota, in the construction of a
propeller to run on Lake Winnepeg in
connection with the Red River steamers
and those whicn are hereafter to ply on
the Saskatchewan River. s
The steamer Swallow" st. Croix
river boat, was loaded on three fat-cars
on Monday last at Saltwater, and
brought to the ST. Paul & Pacific juno
ton, from whence it will be transport
ed to Breckenbridge, when it will here
after ply on the classic waters of the
Red River Of the North. Transporting
steamboats, 250 miles by rail. is not
very common occurrence in this enlight.
ened age, even in the Northwest.
The commerce Of the. Red River last
year was more than double that of the
preceding year, and it is anticipated
that the amount Of freight to be shipped
from this point to Winnepcg, Nanitobs,
this year, will be treble that Of last
year. Four more new steamboats, will
be added to the commercial feet the
coming season, and with the numerous
burgess and Aat.boats which are to be
built, will be sufficient to move all the
freight which will be needed by the peo-
pie of Manitoba next sesson.-Fargo

A Sioux City special says that both
Gordon and Whicher deny the story

Some time ago the Treasury detectives made
some important arrests of counterfeiters in
Illinois. The men picked up were the most
skilful engravers, printers and suffers known,
and besides that, they were so cautious that it
was very difficult to fix any evidence upon
them. They were arrested and since then
their plates have been discovered buried in the
woods near Centralia, Illinois. They consist
of the original steel plates for IS notes of the
Traders National Bank of Chicago, without
doubt the most dangerous spurious note ever
put in circulation, and the transfer plates from
which the bogus Paxton, Canton, Aurora,
and Peru So notes were printed. In addition
Chief Washburn secured the two fifty-cent
plates, on one dexter head and tie
other " Stanton - head from which the
best counterfeit notes of that denomination
now in circulation were printed !; and also un-
earthed $500 more of counterfeit money. The
result of this last raid by the Chief and his
men is the arrest of the best engraver of coun-
tcrfeit plates in the country, one of the best
plate printers, and the largest circulator of or
wholesale dealer in counterfeit money also
the seizure of $3.50 of bogus currency and
So national bank bills, and seventeen plates.

PROFITS OF THE CENTENNIAL.-The New
York " Evening Mail " estimates that during
the period of the Centennial Exhibition not
less than 25, 900 or $4,000 persons will be adj
ded to the daily floating population of New
York, crowding the hotels and boarding
houses, and contributing to make tidal wave
of trade and activity in the city. 1t calcu-
lates that these extra visitors will spend at
the hotels, in the stores, among hackdriyers
and others not less than $780, 600 day and
this estimate appears to be entirely within
bounds. But not only New York will derive
benefit. Every railroad Company in the land
will have large increase of revenue. Every
place of interest, whether from its history, its
picturesqueness, its commerce, manufactures
or other industries, will have large influx of
visitors. Every watering place, at the sea-
side or inland, will have its business increased
during the summer season from twenty to fifty
per cent. Business of every kind, in all parts
of the country, will be stimulated, and more
will be effected towards raising us out of our
present depressed condition than could be done
by the sudden fulfilment of any of the fine
schemes of political and financial philoso-
pliers. The whole people are going to derive
advantage from the Centennial and therefore
the whole people should exert themselves to
add to the brilliancy of the Exhibitors sue
cess.

TAXES AND THE LAws.-Collector Ravens,
of Ocean county, having had controversy
with some citizens in regard to the legality of
certain taxes, and of the interest imposed up
on deinquents, communicated with Attorney
General Vanatta on the subject, who replied j:
Your clear duty is to proceed and collect
the assessments as delivered to you, and
charge such interest against delinquents as
the statute directs. The questions you raise
are not for you or mo to decide. You need
not stop until you are ordered to do SO by the
order of some court of competent jurisdiction
and then the courts will decide those ques-
lions where necessary and as far as necessary. !"
The collector therefore gives notice that after
December Goth, costs will accrue.

THE RESULT IN HUNTERDON.

The result of the election in this county
shows that there was very general indiffer-
ence on the part of voters, there being two
thousand five hundred and forty-nine Tor near
ly one-thrd) less votes cast this year than last,
and by comparison, the falling OF appears to
have been somewhat greater in the Republ-
can than in the Democratic vote.
In the First Assembly Distric. a similar re-
suit is shown in the Assembly vote, there be-
ing falling off of eight hundred and eighty
one votes from last year and Capt. Bird is
elected by three hundred and sixty-onc less
majority than that received by him last year.
In the Second Assembly District the falling
of of the vote is quite remarkable, the de-
crease being fifteen hundred and cighty-three,
although Mr.. Swayze is elected by an increas-
ed majority.
We do not see in the light of these figures
any very great cause for Democratic rejoicing
over increased majorities for the Democratic
candidates. In the case of the Sheriff the
increase arose not from the growth of the
Democratic vote but from the indifference of
the Republicans, many Of whom, as is plainly
to be seen, staid away from the polls.
1t is to be regretted that there is SO general
an apathy as to the result of elections, Except
on special occasions,) among the better class
of voters of both parties. Men who, one
would suppose, are the most interested, being
heavy tax payers and having business inter
ests more or less affected by the character of
the local and State officers elected, generally
are the most unwilling to come TO the polls,
while the rif-raif are sure to be on hand.
We do not know but that it would be just
and beneficial to impose fine on those who
stay away from the polls without reasonable
excuse. If men are justly liable to fine fol
refusing to serve on juries, should they no
be equally liable for refusing to serve on the
great jury that tries the fitness Of candidate,
for public Office?

eB- OF all the illustrations that We have
following, from the Paw Paw Northerner, is
the best
The doctrine Of initiating the currency by is
suing an unlimited amount of greenbacks re-
minds us of one Moses Hawks, who used to
live over in Alleghan and run newspaper
and single shanty. The newspaper was run
during the period of publishing the tax lists,
and Moses shaved shingles the rest of the
year. Hawks was great man in that burgh,
and as currency was scarce in the community
because no one had anything to purchase it
with, bright idea struck him. He went in
to his Office one morning and printed a large
batch of promises to pay-quarters, halves
and dollars-and occupied himself for several
days in aifxing the autograph of Moses
Hawks to every one of them. Hawks, that
is, Moses, was now wealthy man aud pos
sesscd of unlimited resources. He bought
everything offered for sale, and paid his new
currency, and also loaned it to his neighbors.
The thing worked like charm until tax
time, when something better was required.
Everybody had sold their "truck and TAX
cn Hawks currency in payment. The people
foeksd to Hawks and demanded redemption.
He redeemed by issuing new batch of scrip
and moro Of 1t. Prior to this the scrip had
passed current among the people. but the
new issue had 30 inflated the "curreney .
that the people refused to receive It longer, it
having become SO plentiful as to be worthle. 3,
Merchants and dealers had sold their goods for
the stuff, but could not buy more with it.
Hawks was bankrupt aud could not redeem,
and the people were in bad plight.
