The EUcntOn Prisoners.

The Charleston papers bring us the IN
tclligcnce ofthe disagreement of the Jury
in the trial of the Ellcnton prisoners
For several days the public have been
confident that there would be either an
acquittal or a mistrial. Abner W. At
kinson was acquitted, but asto the Others
there was 4 mistrial. AS tho public is
well aware this suit was brought by
Corbin and Stone to make political capt.
tai against the whites. OH account of the
riot which the negroes melted last Sep
tcnlber in Aiken. On the Jury were six
whites and six negroes. The whites
were all Republicans except George W.
Williams. They divided on the colon
linc-thc whites being for acquittal and
the blacks urging conviction.
The prisoners arc required to give bone
to appear mt the mex term Of the Court
10 go through this farce again. 1t is to be
hoped that We may some day be relieved
of such prosecutors as Corbin and Stone

A Shoshone Rabbit Hunt.

The Shoshones in Wind River valley
ntlyengagedina grand rabbit drive,
which lasted five days. The valley is
teeming with rabbits, and the method
pursued by the Indians in killing them
insures the slaughter of thousands of
the animals. They select piece of
ground which they know to be the
resort of rabbits, and form circle.
Inside of this circle the women and
children are placed, and the circle is
gradually contracted, the squaws and
pappooses meanwhile beating the brush
with sticks to start the rabbits. The
bewildered little ami mails rush hither
and thither, and finding no escape from
the circle of hunters, are gradually con-
centrated in smaller and smaller
space. When the supreme moment
arrives, the Indians discharge their
guns and arrows on the confused and
affrighted rabbits, Staying large mum.

WE learn that joint resolution will
be introduced in the two Houses to-day,
providing for the appointment of an
official reporter of the legislative pro-
ceedings, and that Mr.. w. E. Wheeler,
editor of the Evanston Age, will be
nominated as the person to be ap-
pointed under this resolution. We
heartily second this movement and en-
dorse Mr.. Wheeler for the appoint
ment. He is one Of those plucky and
enterprising men, who spend their
energy and means in giving a news
paper to a locality which cannot and
does not provide due sustenance for q
newspaper. His perseverance in his
enterprise is highly commendable, and
should be recognized by our legislators
as worthy of their support. In bestow-
ing this position upon Mr.. Wheeler,
they will partially recompense him for
valuable services rendered to the people
OF this Territory.

How Twas Done.

Work OH the Longmont extension
began July 20 of this year, with fifty
teams on the grade. BY August 10 the
full grading force was in harness.
November was the finishing day,
seventy-two miles the distance between
Longmont and Cheyenne, and three
months and fourteen days the time
used up, including Sundays. If the
Sundays are excluded, the anagement
has fulfilled its promise of completing
the extension in ninety days. "Bully
for the management" does just as well
in this connection as an extended edi-
torial, says the Denver Democrat.

Baltimore, Nov. THE election in
this city to-day was probably the most
quiet ever held. A comparatively
light vote was polled. The only State
officer to be elected is Comptroller of
the Treasury, and the vote resulted as
follows: Keating, Democrat, 2s,697;
Porter, Republican, 6,39s, The Demo-
Gratis elect the entire city delegation,
consisting of eighteen members of the
House, to the next Legislature. The
Republicans had no ticket for members
of the Legislature, and the only oppo-
sition to the Democrats was the nomi-
nees of the Workingmen's party, whose
vote was less than that given for Por-
ter, Republican candidate for Comp
troller. But few returns have been re-
ceived from counties, but so far as
heard from give a Democratic majority.

Boundaries Of the Proposed New Territory
a Big Slice OF Wyoming TO be Taken.

As has been announced in our dis
patches, Senator Saunders, of Nebraska,
has introduced bill for the establish
ment of portions of Dakota and Wyo-
ming under territorial form of gov
ernment. The geological boundary is
as follows: Commencing at point
where the 43d parallel intersects with
the 25th meridian, which is but few
miles east of Camp Sheridan, Neb.;
thence following due westerly course
along said 43d parallel to its intersec-
ton with the Both meridian, the line
running Il few miles north of Fort
Fetterman, and the corner being at the
base of the Rattlesnake range, in Car
bon county; then north along said Both
meridian to its intersection with the
channel (centrel of the Yellowstone,
the line running through the Big Horn
range, cutting off about one-third, being
the southeastern portion; thence fol-
lowing said channel to its intersection
with the 47th parallel, at or very near
the mouth of Tongue river; thence east
erly along said parallel to the western
boundary of Dakota territory, and near
to the Little Missouri river; thence due
south along said boundary line to the
46th parallel; thence east along said
parallel to the 25th meridian at the
junction of the north and south forks
of the Grand river; thence south along
said meridian to the place of commence
ment.
The territory thus mapped out, CON-
prises the present southwestern portion
of Dakota, together with n slice of
Montana and Wyoming. On three
sides it has natural boundaries; on the
south the line of Nebraska; ON the west
the Big Horn divide, and on the north
the Yellowstone. The eastern division
is arbitrary and runs through the bar
ren lands of the Sioux reservation. In
area the district is 10000 square miles,
and in population, which chiefly con-
sists of miners, $4,000, equal to four
fifths of the population of Dakota. A
plan for the territorial government of
the northern portion Of Dakota, under
the name of Huron, is also to be
brought forward soon. Should both
succeed there will still be enough of
Dakota left to make state rs large as
Ohio.
The argument in favor of Lincoln
Territory has been made before the
Senate committees on territories. The
position taken is rs follows: Under
the present territorial government the
large and wealthy region of the Black
Hills has only one representative in the
territorial senate, and two in the house
although four-fifths of the taxes are
paid from the district, the only wealthy
one in the territory. Again, they are
mining under only the general statutes
of the United States, and cannot obtain
the legislation they need to protect
their interests from IL body ruled by
the agriculturists and under this ar
rangement the mining regions cannot
be developed successfully. The north
western portion, which they cut off and
want to incorporate under separate
territorial government, embraces the
eastern slope of the Big Horn, famous
for pasturage and soft timber, such as
cottonwood and pine.
