In the early part of the war. Gov. Til
den made the statement that, .'cpcry
soldier UhO marched across the southern
border ecas a trcspdsser and liable to q
suit for damage" This theory is now
law from a Democratic standpoint.
Justice Clifford has rendered a decision
i'm the suit against Gen. Neal Dow, for
property destroyed by his order. while
engaged in suppressing the rebellion.
This is putting in practice the avowed
theory OF Gov. Tilden. Is not this an
alarming circumstance? There is no get
ting away from the deduction. If one
general may be compelled to pay for for
age taken for his troops, every Union
general is likewise liable. and also every
private soldier. This decision of Justice
Clifford coming as it does upon the heels
of the introduction of millions of dollars
claims" into Congress may not be first
class evidence, but is certainly circum-
stantial evidence that the Democratic
party is in favor of paying these claims.
1t is all the more positive when taken in
connection with the above statement Of
the Democratic staGdardbearer.

The Hendricks phrase that Abraham
Lincoln was a"smutty old tyrant, because
he pushed the war in 1864, expressed the
true i~nwardness of that great Indiana
statesman, whose anxiety to hoist the
white flag before the the Southern Con-
fedcracy should be Thoroughly trampled
out, was painful and lugubrio;s.

NOTES.

The Confederate House, i'm its Presi-
dental prospectus, is able to show u few
small savings, on paper, AMI an almost
irrepressible anxiety to tumble into the
most gigantic jobs that have been invent
ed. There are in the southern states
half a dozen plans for distributing public
money among the oppressed and down.

The uneasfness of the Democratic re-
formers about the effect of the advertise
ment of their willingness to pay Confed-
crate claims. appears in their grotesque
efforts to hide themselves behind the
fourteenth amendment, which does not
apply to the question.
WE do not undertake to say that Gov
ernor Tilden committed perjury. but it
must have taken a smart lawyer to wor-
ry down to thousand dollars the
income of an estate expanding ut the rate
of half a million a year. We notice that
Governor Tflden never accomplished the
troublesome task but once. and vet he is
Il very able man.
R.J. HENDERSON. of Tennessee, had a
.timbcr patch near one of the linton
comps in that state. THE soldiers cut his
trees doicn for fuel, aad he estimates that
they took 1900 cords of his wood. He
sends in his bill, and charges sic dollars
a cord for green aUood, the soldiers having
done their oUn cutting. Here is his bill /:
The United States TO n. J. Henderson. DR..
Nay 4, 1866, TO 1910 cords of d.........S ST., 400
IFtherei is any great principle IN the
Democratic party, aside prospectus of re-
form and the retrospectus of rebellion, it
Is that the southern doctrine of state SOW.
ereignty, and therefore the southern re-
belliOn was right, and therefore, again.
all persons engaged i'm trampling the
southern soil as soldiers are trespassers
and should be fined. The way to fine
them is through claims. al''
The Democracy are constantly assert
ing that the fourteenth amendment of
the Constitution prevents the payment
Of rebel claims. This is the clause: l.
"Nither the United States nor any
State shall assume or pay any debt or OBJ
legation incurred In aid of insurrection or
rebellion against the United States, or
any claim for the loss or emancipation OF
any slave. but all such debts. obligations
and claims shall be held illegal and void
This does not interfere at all with the
claims for damages done southern prop.
erty during the yrogress of the Union ar.
mics. Here, for instance, is a bill for the
passage OF Bulls army through a turn
pike gate in pursuit of Bragg. There is
no constitutional amendment against
that. Here is a bill for damage to farm
on Stone river. There no constitutional
prohibition of such payment. The truth
is, we want as few rebel claim agents in
Congress as possible.

SINCE the Republican party was organ
;zed, twenty years ago, there has not
been an important plank i'm any of the plat
forms, or a principle advocated by it, but
that has been. sooner or later, adopted by
the people, either In form of a law or a
constitutional amendment. More than
this, they have been adopted by the Dem
ocratic party in various platforms they
have adopted since. The Republican
party has been a party of advancement.
a party of ideas. 1t can point with pride
to its record of having originated and adj
vocated all the principles Of advancement
and reform that have been adopted by
the people during that time. During the
same time, there is nothing, absolutely
nothing, i'm the career of the Democratic
party to which they like to refer. Their
constant aim is to have the country for

he applied to him to retain his position,
is Il liar. The Free Press says that

Information Of Interest to Those
Who are Going There.
Cheyenne the Place to Outfit at.
TabIe-Passenger Fares and
Freight Rates-Etc.

In answer TO the hundreds OF
communications we are in daily re-
ceipt of, we have compiled the bud
get of information herewith given,
for the benefit of all who are afflicted
with the Black Hills fever. While
it is not as complete as we desire
and promise to make it, we think it
will answer most of the questions
asked.
The first query propounded is
whether We really believe there is
gold in the Black Hills. This has
been too well proven to admit OF
doubt. Gold is found in paying
quantities in nearly all portions of
the region, the richest discoveries
having been of quite recent occur
renee, on Deadwood and Whitewood
creeks, some sixty miles from Custer
City, which is now a large and -four
ishing town, with regularly elected
officers, a full complement of bust
ness houses, etc.
West and north of the Black
Hills lie extensive mountain ranges
of similar formation, which have
been but little explored, but which
r full of gold and silver, which lat
ter metal has been discovered in
large and rich veins, within thirty
miles of Custer City. Good gold
quartz mines have also been found
in the Hills.
DISTANCES.
Following we give the distances
from Cheyenne to the Black Hills,
the points mentioned being, as will
be seen, at convenient distances
apart for camping, and having ac-
commodations for travellers.

Total, 1855
These distances are by the road
soon to be built by the citizens o
Cheyenne. By the road now travel
ed the distance from Cheyenne to
Custer City is 246 miles.
TRANSPORTATION, ETC.
Our forwarding houses can fur
nish transportation for 1000, 600
pounds at a shipment. Freight
charges, Cheyenne to Custer, range
from 81 to 6 cents per pound, ac-
cording to kind of animals employed
and time consumed on the road.
Horses are plenty and cheap here.
Prices range as follows: Well-bro
ken saddle horses, S35 to $75 each
or with saddle, bride, etc., from $40
up. Well-broken work teams, 800
to $3.50 per span ; single carriage
horses, 800 to $3.50 each; mules,
5000 to $500 per span.
1t will cost less to outfit here than
to bring outfits with you. Heavy
stocks and hot competition cause
this. We do not say SC because we
are paid for it but because we have
