DEMOCRATIC VERDICT on THE POLICY.

Mr. Hayes's friends claimed that his policy
would divide rather than dify the south Jhey shd
that the policy of Cancellation would win over many men
OF moderate views the support OF the Admins trhtlon
and that the various elements which made tp what was
called the Democratic party In the South would separate
and reform their ancient lines In this connection
great deal was SAID about the revival OF the ola wing
party The result proved that ali these predictions We're
nfounded The conversion OF the President from rad-
caIisn 10 conservatism strengthened the Democracy III
its faith and the unanimy OF the south made eVi-
dent hy overwhelming maOrtes. The only division was
that which occurred in the Republican party.

FROM:IJHE BLACK HILLS ~
II. J. Grant returned from the Black
Hills, on Monday last, coming over
land by Fort Pierre. He left Dead
wood City on the 18th of November
and was detained ten days at Fort
Pierre owing to the ice preventing, the
running of the ferry. ~. H.
He informs us that Deadwood City
is growing rapidly and has now about
1900 inhabitants. Men of wealth are
coming in and building fine residences.
There are now SO quartz mills running
and I'LL making money, and turning
out from $500 to 81, 900 in gold per day.
All the mills are now running on gold
quartz. There is also abundance of sill.
yer in the Hills, but it is Galena ore and
requires machinery for smelling.
During the past. few months the
Hills have been so thoroughly prospect.
ed that men of capital are satisfied OF
an abundance Of the precious metals,
and they are flocking in from Califor.
mia, Nevada and Colorado, and'putting
in machinery to take out the gold and
silver. In short, Mr.. Grant pronoun-
ces the Hills success, and the devel.
opment of the mining interest must be
rapid.
Mr.. G. also thinks the lands about
Deadwood are good farming lands.
The past year barley, oats. and vegeta.
bles of all kinds did remarkably well.
Mr.. G. informs us that II. D. Safer and
the Messrs. Dickey are numbering near
Deadwood and will remain during the
winter. He informs us that he has not
been ut all disappointed in his pecunia-
~ expectations.
