Gen. Lippitt was Tuesday chosen Governor of
Rhode Island by the Legislature.
Gov. Tden's idea of governing New York by
commissions is takingIvigorous root for it appears
that an eY De ndture Of over million and half
has already been charged upon the State By the
new powers called inte exercise by tho Governor.
We suppose they mean well but it sounds rather
odd to hear men like the Governor Of Texas say
ing that they honor jeff. Davis as "a representa-
tive of truth, chivary and heroism, and steadfast
devotion to principle" and at the same time that
they glory in the Flag OF the Union.

The Maine Standard asks Us several
questions in relation to the democratic out
rage in New Hampshire, the first of which
is as follows:
Is it not true that statute Of that State. enact
ed by a republican Legislature requires that ali
votes not containing the full Christian name oil
the candidate shall he regarded as blanks and ex-
cluded from the count:
Yes, it is true, but as the Governor and
Council do not see the votes, and have
nothing whatever to do with them in the
discharge of their duty, this question has
as much pertinency to the case as the COM
ing celebration at Bunker Hill.
The other questions are equally as stu
pid as the above. One of them is as fol-
lows:
Is it not just a, much the right and duty of the
Governor and Council to reject as blanks under
the statute votes with Matt for Nathaniel as 1t Is
votes with Sam for Samuelf
As we have stated above the Governor
and Council have nothing to do with votes
for Matt or Sam or anybody else. But if
they had, as the Standard holds why should
they declare votes for Matt Head blank on
the ground that his name is Nathaniel,
and not also count as blank, votes for Frank
Jones. whose name is Franklin? Please
answer this little conundrum before we
proceed farther.

We copied few days ago an article
from the Lewiston Journal, written we
presume by Governor Dingley, which ex-
posed 10 very conclusive manner the
weakness of the arguments with which the
democrats undertake to defend the out.
rage which has been perpetrated by them
ia New Hampshire. The familiarity OF
Governor Dingley with the law and prac-
tice In this State and New Hampshire in
regard to the duties of the Governor and
Council concerning cases like that in con-
troyersy in our sister State, enables him
TO deal with the matter very effectively.

THE OPERATORS STORY.
THE CONDITION OF THE STRIKE IN CLAY
COUNTY.


COUNTY.
The following is the card of operators in
the striking district:
BRAZIL, IND, Feb. 26.
To the people of the state of Indiana:
We, the undersigned producers of coal In
Clay county. represent that about the lst
of January, in consequence of the decline in
the price OF coal, we were compelled to re-
duce the price of mining from 50 cents to 20.
The miners continued work until about the
23d OF the same month, when thsy came
out and resolved to remain out
until they were paid the old rate
of SIS cents. Immediately the men,
bers of the Miners Union commenced a
series OF prosecutions, threats and intimida-
tions against the persons who desired to
work, aud against those operators who at
tempted to run their mines by employing
labor from q distance. These threats were
put in execution last night by firing and
burning to the ground the buildings and
machinery of Messrs. Smith, Reid & Co.,
Veach, Hall Il Co., and the Jackson coal and
mining coal shafts. On former occasions,
during strikes, the civil authorities of Bra
zil and of Clay county have wholly failed
to afford any protection from the attacks
upon life and property by the Miners Union,
upon to repress riot at Knights
vile, during a former strike, a par
tizan military company was dis
patched 10 that place by the COVER
nor, which affiliated with the rioters and
even distributed the cartridges with which
they were supplied to them. Without an
enactment upon the statute book an ade-
quate punishment tor intimidation offered
to men whose families are suffering for the
want OF the wages they would be glad to
earn, we are utterly unable to protect them
or to induce others to come here and fill the
places of.the members of the Miners Union.
We appeal to you, the people of the state of
Indiana, to assist us in the protection of our
lives and property from the assaults of the
Molly Msguires of the Miners Union, and
thereby enable us to prosecute our business
under the same protection afforded to men
engaged in other business throughout
the state. Since the assembling
of the operators to issue this
address, one of them has been called out
to defend his mine from an attack; the
Waterman having been driven away from
his duty by number of mon, who forced
him TO fly to save his lite. 1t is believed that
we are in the midst of, and all indications
point to, reign of lawlessness and violenc9

THE BEAUTIFUL BLACK HILLS.

RETURN OF ONE OF THE SIOUX CITY PARTY
SUCCESS OF HIS EXPEDITIoN-THE LoYELI-
NESS OF THE COUNTRY.
SIOUX CITY, IA, Feb. 27.-A Sioux City
Journal special from Yankton says: Eph.
Witcher, a well known citizen of Sioux City,
a member of the recent expedition to the
Black Hills, arrived at Yankton to-day. He
reports having left his companions at
the stockade of the expedition within two
miles of Harney's Peak on Box Elder Creek,
on the Srd inst. Witcher says that the expe-
dition was composed Of q men, one lady
and her son. There were six wagons.
The men were well armed and some of them
mounted and supplied with provisions aud
mining tools. The expedition left here Oc
tober 9th, and struck the Niabrara about 120
miles above its mouth. They followed
the stream some distance, and then struck
across the country to part east of the
Black Hills, on the Cheyenne river. They
met a party of 200 mounted Indians and
held a peaeeable parley with them. After
reac hing an apparently passable pass at the
foot of the hills, they struck out into the
mountains, and after picking their
way, reached point within two
miles of Harney's Peak in Is days
from the date of the entry into the Hills.
They erected a stockade eighty feet long,
and built log cabins from the abundant sup
ply of timber that they found. The cold
weather greatly impeded their prospecting.
They sunk twenty-five prospect holes and
struck gold in every instance.
From the grass to the bed rock they
found numerous gold and silver-bearing
vuartz lodes, and the specimens Mr..
Witcher has brought back are pronounced
very rich. The party never saw an Indian
at the Hills. Mr.. Witcher describes the
parts of bills they saw as having magnificent
valleys, seemingly .limitless forests OF pine,
an abundance OF elk, deer and other game.
The greater portion of the return trip was
made through snow-drifts, over a trackless
country in the most stormy and severe
weather. They discovered in coming
out of the hills what has been
named Witcher's Pass, a good natural
wagon road. This shortens the way out of
the hills by thirteen days. Their animals
lived on the grass they found beneath the
snow. Witcher says he can take loaded OK
teams into the hills in thirty days.
The members lefc in the bills are in
good health and spirits. Witcher returned
for reiDforcements. He says there is no evil
dence of other parties being in the hills.
Gordon, VINO came with him part of the
way, was delayed by his horses giving out.
Nothing has been heard or seen of the two
disastrous army expeditions sent out to in
tercept them.

DID YOU DRAW!
LIBRARY LOTTERY
PERUsE THE LIST AND SEE.

THE FIFTH ''LAsT LOTTERY DRAWING FOR
THE BENEFIT OF THE KENTUCKY STATE
LIBRARY"-INCIDENTs OF THE DAY.
Especial Correspondence of the Sentinel.1
LOUISVILLE, Feb. q. 2. p. M.-The post
poned lottery drawing has been going on
since 10 o'clock this'morning. The place of
drawing is as usual in Library Hall. The
manner of co onducting it is similar to that
OF the previous lotteries. The numbers are
first drawn from an immense wheel on the
left hand of the stage and the numbers are
twice announced so as to be heard all over
the hall, and whatever prize is then drawn
from the opposite wheel is credited TO the
ticket holder.
THE INTEREST MANIFESTED
in the lottery is not at all intense nor near
so great as when the other lotteries were
drawn. Owing to the inability OF the man
ayers to sell all the tickets the prizes were
reduced in ratio to correspond with the
sales up to last night. But 80 per cent. OF
the sums irst advertised will be paid on the
prizes, thus bringing downth capital prize Of
$3.50, 600 to SOS, 900, and others in proportion.
The ninth prize drawn after the distribu
ton began was the respectable sum OF s., 800,
the first three having been little prizes of $3S
each, The monotony was broken at inter
walls with announcements of $500 and
$500 prizes, until at last No. 1000 drew
$3S ,000 when there was sone little cheering
among the audience. Some time sfterward
No. 81, ,236 drew 81 ,140, and in halt Gn hour
afterward No. SO III took
THE CAPITAL PRIZE
of S95, 900. There. was more cheering then
but the grand prize and the two
approximate prizes being determined the
rest of the distribution was stripped
of half its interest. No one knows, ss yet,
where the tickets drawing the capital prizs,
or any of the larger prizes are held. But it
is thought the owners of some of these at
least will be heard from by this evening
The following is a list of the numbers
draw and the corresponding prizes
