ments, it is believed that an earnest effort
will be made in the coming session of con-
gress to 30 amend the act as TO render re-
sumption at the time less hazardous to the
commercial interests of the country than it
is believed can be accomplished by the act
as it now stands. The books at the treasury
at the close Of business on Saturday show
the outstanding legal tenders to be S357, ,976.-
164. The resumption c0ntemplates the re-
demption of S57 ,076, 165 by January l, 1879,
through the process Of issuing new national
bank notes, the law providing for the re-
demption Of legal tenders Of eighty per
cent. of such new Issues. 1t is manifestly
impossi Sic TO accomplish this feat within
the time specified, consequently there would
remain considerably more than S300,000,.

At q banquet in Chattanooga, given to the
presidential party, on Thursday evening
Judge Key said, in regard to his having
spoken of his erring southern brethern of
the south while in Vermont, that he had
entered the rebellion as heartily as any
man and was sorry he could not be
more rebellious and carried it on more Wig
orously than he did. He thought he was
right, and he must confess very frankly
that hehad no repentance or confession to
make for the part he had taken, but would
say frankly that We made very great mis-.
take, committeda very serious error, and
after referring to the efforts of the south,
said We had accomplished no results, except
it be the emancipation Of slavery, which We
certainly did not fight for. 1t was an error
which the numberless widows and orphans
the 100000 graves and the puplic debt
which all had to pay, and no result acom.
plished, could testify.

The man who rents home In Yankton
has right to wonder within himself why
tits that landlords continue to charge such
exorbitant rates for the use of their prop
erty, when rents in all other portions of the
country have gone down to the lowest
notch. And when he has completed his
inquiries he will probably discover that the
cause thereof is the scarcity Of houses and
The consequent demand for abiding places
We desire to call the attention Of capitalists
to this condition of things. They are
everywhere seeking safe investments tor
their money, but they seem to have over
looked this particular source of certain
profits. A residence building which costs
thousand dollars readily rents for twenty
dollars per month, and many cheaper struc'
lures bring fifteen and eighteen dollars per
month. But these figures are too high for
the times What we need is more houses
ard decrease in rents. A hundred thou
sand dollars can be invested in Yankton In
the construction of buildings, and net
profit of twelve per cent. received on the
outlay, with rents at what Ysnkton people
would call reasonable figures. The oppol-
,unity is open to all who possess the means
and we hope it will he taken advantage Of

Minnehaha County Considering the Pro.
priety ofPuttfng up Bonus.
Sioux Falls Independent
On our local page will be found the re-
suit of the conference held last Wednesday
evening between the business men Of this
city and the managers Of the St, Paul &
Sioux CITY railway company. There is
some diversity of opinion on the feasibility
of giving the amount asked, $4,000, some
claiming that S25,OOO would have been
enough, though the great majority Of our
citizens are satisfied that the proposition is
very liberal on the part of the railway men.
The entire bonus, ifthe $4,000 in bonds is
given, will aggregate $4,000, the right-of-
way, depot grounds, ETC., already obtained,
being considered worth $4,000, and for
this last our citizens have cause to thank
the enterprise of the gentlemen composing
the Sioux Falls railway company for obtain
ing this valuable franchise, and thus reduc
ing the amount of bonus required, at go lit
tie cost.
In the light of the experience Of other
counties in obtaining railway facilities
Minnehaha county may be congratulated
upon the opportunity offered of obtaining =
railroad on such favorable and liberal terms
Many people have allowed the idea to take
possession of them that this company would
demand an amount somewhat similar to that
asked and obtained of Yankton county by
the Dakota Southern, S20O, 900, and become
preudiced against railways in consequence.
But the St. Paul company have only asked
what is fair and reasonable. The amount
added to the taxable wealth Of the county
by the mere construction of the road far
exceeds the bonus asked, aside from all the
attendant benefits accruing to the county
from the increased settlement, the increased
price of wheat our great staple and source
Of wealth, the increased value of real prop
erty, and the decreased price of lumber, salt,
coal, and all goodsneeded to supply the wants
of large and rapidly increasing population.
In considering this subject Of bonus, our
people should not, because there has been
swindling railway schemes in other local,
tiles, allow themselves to believe that all
railroad companies are unprincipled in
consequence. The St. Paul & Sioux City
company has ever borne the reputation Of
being an honorable company, and they ask
no aid in advance. Nothing is given until
the companys portion of the contract il
completed. There is no opportunity to
get the bonds, and then never build the
road. This county has waited long time
for railway facilities; and it is safe to say
that at least two-thirds of our population
would move to other localities we're it pos.
itively known that railroad would never
be built to this point, and it is fact as
certain as death that we never will get 8
road unless we give such assistance as lies
| in our power.
