The testimony of BLUFoRD WILSON, TAX
en- in connection with facts previously
known, shows that BABcocK was the main
link in the Western Wbiskey Ring. BAD
COCK, and his fellow conspirators. Nc
DONALD, AVERY, and JOYCE were on the
most free aud easy terms with GRANT while
they were prosecuting their fraudulent
work; and from time to time they got him
to do, or TO refrain from doing. precisely
what they desired in order to advance
the interests of their Ring. so much is set
tied by the testimony beyond all dispute.
Now, il GRANT did not know. at least in
general way, what these rascals were
about, and especially BADcocK, with whom
he held the most confidential relations,
then GRANT is q great deal stupider man
than ANYBODY who ever knew him has
ever thought he was. Thousands OF Gull
prits have been sent TO the scaffold, and
have confessed their guilt with the rope
around their necks, where tho evidence ut
the trial was far weaker than that which
duplicates GRANT in the whiskey frauds.

Ar. COOPER Is running for the place with such

There were features OF interest to both
Jews and Gentiles in the Hebrew American
Convention which was held In Washington few
days ago, and at which hundred delegates, rep
resenting congregations in every part OF the
country, were present. In the course OF it's
proceedings, tho Convention determined to
open correspondence with the Universal Israel
lite Alliance Of Paris, and with similar bodies In
London, Vienna, Berlin, Rome, and bucharest,
with view Of colonizing In the United States
all those OF their brethren who dwell in coun-
tries whose laws do not protect them in their
lives, liberty, and property" Tho carrying out
of this measure will doubtless, within a few
years, add largely to our Jewish population,
which Is already growing with remarkable
rapldlty.

POLITICAL NOTES.

The Cincinnati Commercial, New,
York Post and other leading liberal and
independent newspapers are out for
Hayes and Wheeler. Harpers Weekly
and the Christian Union are also doing
good service in the cause. .- -.
Rutherford B. Hayes was nominated
for Congress when in the army. He de-
clined and wrote letter saying that
any man who would leave the army for
a seat in Congress ought to be scalped;
and that is the kind of man Hayes Isl.
Manton Marble telegraphed the Him
ols State Convention that Samuel J..
Tilden was not chairman of the COM
mittee which reported the surrender
platform at Chicago in 1854, and
says he was opposed to it. The Min
neapolis Tribune doubts if any promi-
nent Democrat can be found who was
not opposed to it. That Tilden was
chairman of the New York Democratic
Central Committee during all the time
Tweed hourished, and did not take
stand for reform until after the Tweed
corruptions were exposed by the Times
has not been denied.
The Illinois Democratic Convention
did not dare adopt resolutions. They
didn't want to conflict with St. Louis
possibilities. F.
It will be remembered that "Nasby,"
who is an advertising agent in New.
York. sent certain extracts commencing
Ti!den to numerous newspapers with
directions to publish and charge to that
agency. This fact suggests the follow
ing lines: ;, :,
Puff, brothers, puff, puff with care,

. Judge Kidder informs US that the
President has granted pardon to Henry
eager, Robt. Harmon and Mr.. Dennison
of this city, who were concerned in an
oat transaction, of which our readers
are fully informed Mr.. Steimel, of
Yankton, has also been pardoned. Judge
Kidder has labored earnestly to accom-
plish this result, so far as our Bismarck
people were concerned, and his labors
deserve commendation. The citizens
of Bismarck generally petitioned for
this result, and their petition was
strongly endorsed by the Judge before
whom the case was tried, and supported
by a strong one in behalf Of Mr.. eager
from leading business and public men
of Minnesota. We cannot say that these
men ought not to have been convicted,
but we do say that the crimes Of others
created . sentiment which demanded
the conviction of somebody, and these
men fell victims to that sentiment. The
lesson, though dearly bought, will be a
good one to- them, and thereafter men
will realize thatif they deal in property
which they ought to presume was stolen
they do it at their peril. e. ...

About one, hundred. tons of Black
Hills supplies have been purchased by
Bismarck merchants at Yankton and
Sioux City within the past six weeks.
This trade is naturally tributary to St.
Paul, but the St. Paul papers have done
so much to destroy it, and to defeat
those engaged in it, that traders have
naturally looked elsewhere, and for the
purchase of certain lines of supplies,
they have found a better market than
st. Paul ever was. Towns seeking the
trade of locality should at least treat
that locality justly. St. Paul has not
so treated Bismarck, and deserves abso-
lutely nothing Of the Black Hills.

: Yes; and can sell -four purchased at

Yankton merchants, or others would
think Of selling it at FortPierre. This
is because Bismarck enjoys competition
ii freights which no other Black Hills
supply point can. hope to obtain until
new lines Of railway are constructed.
Fort Pierre has no regular lines ofcom-
munication-it is often in summer, two
or three weeks without boat from
either way, while in winter it is farther
from the terminus of any railroad to
Fort Pierre than it is from Bismarck,
the terminus of the North Pacific, to
the richest mines in the Hills. In es.
timating the distance from Pierre to
Crook City, the Black Hills Tribune
comedies the distance to be only a days
drive further from Bismarck than from
Pierre. and this from a paper which
had found itself entirely surrounded by
influences hostile to Bismarck. Don
Stevenson alone, among the Crook City
traders. insisting that Bismarck was
the proper point to obtain supplies.
Through the lack Of effort on thepart
of the North Pacific directors, they have
as vet realized but little from the
Black Hills traffic, but the tide is being
turned in this direction, and a few
months, at most, more will give Bis
marck and the N. P. the full benefits
from the opening Of the Black Hills.

Joseph G.. Dodge, q member OF TINS
lodge, i most worthy brother, and q
citizen universally respected, was kllied
by the Indian near the Black Hills, on
the afternoon OF. the 4th of May, 1876.
The Indians seem to have chased htm
about three miles, and at last succeeded
in killing his horse, which he then
abandoned, and ran about two hundred
yards, where he fell, piercedsby six oui,
let's. But even his Indian murders had
learned to respect him, and did not
scalp or in anywise smutilate his
remains, though his person was
plundered of al articles useful or
valuable to them. His body was car
ried to Rapid City and given Masonic y
burial by those good and true, who had
learned to appreciate his worth Ever vel
watchful for others, Brother Dodge was
careless of himself, and while We might
blame him for that thoughtlessness lot
himself which may have resulted in his
death, our admiration for his many man man
" qualities is unbounded. In him we
ever found worthy brother and 9 true
friend. Ever just and generous, IN his
death the community IN which he re-
sided lost one Of its most useful citizens;
