The Returning Officers make no such
claim tor themselves They acted arbi-

Of law They had determined to count
out the Tilden Electors and count in the
Hayes Electors regardless of law. As
Grant said: Il don't care a d--n for the
Supreme Court, SO the Returning Officers
said Eve don't care d--n for the law
We have the power and the means to
count in Hayes" And they did the best
they could in that direction They threw
out thousands Of Democratic votes with
out giving any, the least, reason therefor.

NEW YORK, Jan. >. A Tallahassee specia
to the Herald says: Col. Call, in behalf OF The
Democratic Presidential electors, Monday, gave
notice that he should apply for mandamus tc
compel the Returning Board to canvass the
electoral vote. Gov. Stearns thereupon mott
fed Drew that although he had intended turn
ing over the state government to him to day
this move on the part of Col. Cali made it nee
essary for him to resist Drew's Inauguration
A dispatch says Drew will, however, be peace
ably inaugurated.
The Supreme Court, yesterday, issued tue re-
turn of the Canvassing Board TO its previous
order for Il new count. 1t then issued another
order for II count Of votes for Governor only.
As no other candidates rights We're involved,
the Board did so, and sent the result to the
Court, which will take action upon il to-day.

steamboasing ON the Yellowstone.

on the Yellowstone.
The steamer Fsnchon, commanded by
Captain T. g. Sweeney, is doing noble
work these DAYS on the far western
waters, and from all accounts our fellow
townsman is doing finely, though no
doubt he is roughing 1t in dead earnest.
From letter just received here BY his
relatives, they learn that he and his craft
were at the mouth of Tongue river on
the 23d of Msy-all we'll, but keeping q
sharp lookout for Sitting Bulls relations
who still deign to take scalp when q
good opportunity offers. The Fsnchon's
business so far into the heart OF
the northwest territory was to
bring troops and government stores
to the seat of war, where General Miles
is busily engaged in watching the red
devils. Not one hundred miles from
where the soldiers disembarked, says the
letter, General Miles and the boys In
blue had their recent setto with the In
dams. 1t is probably very difficult in
those few lines to make the reader appre-
ciste the great distance from civilization
the country spoken of is. But when it Is
learned that the Fanchon had to steam up
the swift Missouri, 500 miles above Bis
marck to, old Fort Beautord, at the
mouth of the Yellowstone, and one OF the
extreme outposts of the Government,
then two hundred miles up Inc Yellow
stone to the mouth of Tongue river, her
destination, one can form some idea OF
how far away from homo and how
deep into the wilds of the great west
the steamer was. Capt. Sweeney says
it required ten days TO steam from Fort
Besuford to the mouth of the Tongue
River, distance of200 miles, and that the
Fanchon's time was considered extrsor-
dinarily good. There are Numerous falls
on the route not unlike those at Louis,
vile. on which occasions lines have to
be got out to the trees and taken to the
capstsn, a. which times, all hands and
the cook take apart in assisting the boa'
up the stream. One of the main dithcul'
ties attending stesmbosting in the lar
west rivers is getting fuel. Whenever
it is essential to wood up, the boat is rur
ashore and party OF axe men rush
for the woods. Here they have thu
double duty to perform of chopplns
down the trees and keeping an eye or
hostile Indians, who are always on tn
alert to add another scalp to their belts
On these occasions the faithful gun Ii
kept close at hand for any emergency
Antelopes and deer abound there IL
great abundance. All this and much
more of interest is contained in the let
ter referred to, but enough is CT ted to in
dlcate the exciting life the crew OF th'
Fanchon are having.
