Our Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, d. G. Feb. -, III.
Nothing of note is transporting at
the capitol during the last few days
nor is anything expected until the
Electoral Commission shall beready
to report, which may possibly be
tomorrow but more probably not
before Wednesday or Thursday.
The counting Of the Electoral vote
was begun last Thursday morning,
after much preliminary arrangement,
such as the appointment of a hun
dred extra police to prevent dis
turbance and confusion and to pro-
vide against pick-pockets /; the issu-
ing of tickets for admission to the
House during the counting toinsure
against a jam at the time; and the
provision of extra seats for the
Senate, Commission and council.
At the appointed time the Senate
proceeded in body to the House
where it was received in an i'm
pressive manner by the simultane-
Gus arising of the Representatives.
The counting then began, Vice
President Ferry presiding. and
went on smoothly until Florida was
reached, when as everybody antici-
pated would be the case, the re.
turns were objected to on both
sides and the fun was over for that
day. The Senate retired to Its own
chamber, the Commission went to
the Supreme Court room to con-
slider the matter and have held SEES.

Florida case many points that are
likely to come up in Louisiana and
perhaps in some other States will
be disposed of, SO the argumen

a COOP BILL.-A bill has been
introduced into the Legislature au-
thorizing Circuit Judges to remove
dishonest, or incompetent town of
fcers, upon proper presentation of
the facts. This is a good bill and
ought to pass. As matters are now,
it is almost an impossibility to fihd
any relief when a dishonest or in
competent man comes into possess
ion of town Office by the votes of
transient persons, who care nothing
as to how matters 60. With law
of this kind in force, we don't believe
there would be such rush for office

Major James Whitehead will
start an expedition for the Black
Hills on the 18th of Mar Oh from
Minneapolis, at the following rates i:
One person and 100 pounds bag
gage, through to the Hills $50; one
person, one team and one wagon to
Bismarck. $45. Ali extra freight to
Bismarck 81 per hundred pounds.
These terms mean simple transpor-
tation, and not excepting" on the
way. Messes of from to 10 men may
club together, and greatly lessen
the expense of providing food.
Game is plenty and walking is
preferable to slow riding. A large
number will start for the Hills this
spring.
1t has been suggested that a
small Touring mill here, with one
or two run of stone, would prove a
profitable investment and draw a
good deal of trade to our town.
Enough wheat was raised by the
settlers north of Duluth last year tC
give a small mill employment for
several months, and why could not
all the oats, corn, etc. used to sup
ply the great number of teams
around the head of the lake, as
well as at Staples lumber camps
amounting to many hundred tons
be ground here with profit to the
miller and consumer? Now that
the mill of Munger g. Gray in Du
luth has been removed to Mime
apolis, there is first rate opening
for new mill at the head of the
lake, and we want to see superior
profit by it. Who will take hold o
the matter?
