Life in the Black Hills.

Those who seek death by slow starva-
ton will, doubtless, be able to find it in
the Black Hills. Flour is quoted at 10 to
IL cents pound, and bacon %, sugar
40, salt IL, and beans Is cents a pound,
while molasses sells at $3.50 to SO per
gallon, and tobacco at from 81 to 81. so a
pound. After travelling $50 miles by OK
or mule team from the nearest railroad
point, Cheyenne, the gold-hunter finds
himself at the diggings, where, if he is
lucky enough to get good claim and is
an expert miner, he can, by hard work,
make dollar day. A correspondent
of the New York Times, who has care
fully explored the diggings, reports That
very few make that, while the largest
amount realized has been $55 per month,
which would scarce pay for provisions.
The correspondent of the Kansas City
Times says he has carefully gone over
the diggings and has not yet seen mug
get that no gold from the mines has
been sold at Custer City and that the
opinion of old miners there is that the
diggings are alphabetically fraud. The
excitement is kept up, however, by the
papers at Cheyenne and other outfitting
towns on the frontier, which publish
glowing accounts of the gold fetched
back by returning miners. But it is
more than ever manifest that no one has
returned with as much money as he took
with him /; that more gold can be made
digging bitches in Iowa or Illinois than
in the diggings and that those who, are
rushing to the Black Hills are hurrying
to extreme restitution and suffering,
with all the chances that they will have
to endure yet greater suffering in order
to get back. Chicago Tribune.

H. G. Whitley, late Chief of the Secret Service
Division of the Treasury department., who was
indicted with ex-Dist. Atty. Harrington and
others for the famous safe burglary conspiracy,
was examined by subcommittee of the House
Judiciary Committee one day last week. He
testified that Gen. Babcock was the author OF
the conspiracy that Babcock directed him
(Whitely) to see Harrington, from whom
he would get specific directions that
he and Harrington, with some en-
ployes of the civil service division and
some professional rascals, organized the con-
spracv After the failure of the robbery he
saw Babcock, who told him that he and Har-
rington had made very bungling job of it.
Gen. Babcock denies before the Clymer COM
mittee the testimony of Whitley connecting
him with the burglary conspiracy.

head, of st. Louis his action in revoking the

Opening Scenes of the Belknap Inn
parchment.

The opening proceedings III the Uni
ted States Senate In the Belknap I'M
parchment (says the Washington CORE
spondent of the New York 7ri6aase)
were very dull and commonplace. Those
who saw the same ceremony III the I'M
parchment of Andrew Johnson on the
4th of March, 1868, could not help con-
trasting the two scenes. At that time
the Senate was crowded to degree never
before equaled, and the scene was an
impressive one. Thaddeus Stevens,
scarcely able on account of his feeble
condition to stand on his feet, headed
the list of managers, and he was borne
into the chamber In chair carried by
the strong arms of his two constant at
tendants. He was followed by John A.
Bingham, Benz. f. Butler, Geo. S. Bout
well, James f. Wilson, Thomas Williams,
and John A. Logan, the other managers,
amid a silence rarely known in the his
tory of Congress. Every Senator was
in his seat, and the great crowd In the
galleries and upon the floor seemed
scarcely to move a muscle. The inn
parchment articles were read by Mr..
Bingham, all the managers except Mr..
Stevens standing during the ceremony
in front of the President of the Senate.
AT the opening of the Belknap case
the galleries were only half full, and the
attendance of Senators was small. Even
those present were Indifferent to the pro-
ceedings. Some read papers some
wrote at their desks some walked about
the chamber; few paid attention to what
was going on. The managers on the
part of the House, not in appearance
very striking body, whatever may be
their ability, struggled into the chamber
without order or arrangement, and after
they were received by the presiding Off
Ger with the accustomed rap of the gavel
and formal greeting, they struggled to
their seats on the left of the chair.
Then Mr.. Lord. who heads the mana
gers, rose and read the long articles of
impeachment in low, clear voice. To
the reading nobody, not even the record
reporters, listened. When Mr.. Lord
had finished, the president Dro tenn. said
that due notice would be taken on the
part of the Senate, and the managers
withdrew. This was the whole ceremo-
ny, which was, if possible, more stupid
and unimpressive than the ordinary pro-
ceedings of the Senate.

Congresslonal Committees.

The selections of committees in tho House of the present Congress have 1 been somewhat remarkable Time wa;
 when the people generally did not pay
 so much attention to these selections
 but with the vast increase of interests
 and subjects of legislation and the i necessity and importance of the com
 mittees in putting matter in portable
 and presentable shape before the gen.
 eral body of legislators, these commit tees have assumed paramount import
 ance. And knowing this, the people
 of the country have grown to take a strong interest in the selections and complexion of the various committees. There are many dark ways about legls
 lation which the people can not or will not take the trouble to understand, but there is pretty clear comprehension that the committee rooms are the place where their legislative food is prepared for their Congressional table, and they now take an interest not only in the selection Of the chefs de cuisine, but all the way down to the dish washers.
 The Washington Republican com menting on the making up of commit tees in the present House, says:
 The singular favontism shown cer tain sections of the country in the com position of the committees is best illus trated by classification of chairman ships with States. For instance, Maine has 1, New York 6, Pennsylvania ', Maryland 1, Virginia ?, West Virginia 1, North Carolina ?, Georgia 2, Ala ] bama 1, Arkansas 1, Louisiana 1. Mis- 1 souri f, Tennessee ?, Illinois 4, Ind 1 iana ,, Mississippi 1, Kentucky i, ! Ohio }. These figures reveal the fact that the South has the chairmanship | 1t 22 committees, the West II, the Middle States of New York and Penn | sylvania l3. New England 1. and the | Pacific slope none at all Out of the .hirty-seven States eighteen are ignored in the way of chairmanships: hese figures, too, fell thick and fast on he most unexpected quarters, and 'reated ast0uishmcnt among those who cit sure of selection. From the Pa fife coast new members come, it is rue, but it was felt that 1t ought to be accorded at least one chairmanship of. . committee affecting its interests, such IS the Mines and Mining, Indian Al airs, Pacific Railroads, Post Offices md Post Roads, Public Lands, Ter itOries, and Naval Affairs. Courtesy would seem to indicate this.
