suit your wishes. There is much
good land in the Indian Territory

which you left on the Missouri river
you shall have e tract as large and
fertile, with plenty of timber and
many water-eourses. / will permit
you to send out some Of your Chiefs
to make q selection for your people

to it that on the lands you are to oc
cupy, houses shall be built for you as
good as those YOU had on the Mis-
souri, river, aud you shall yourselves
be employed in building them and
paid for the work you do. 1 shall
also ascertain what agricultural i'm

shall be supplied with like quenti,

with cattle, so that you shall lose
nothing.
al shall try to see to see to it that
you have schools for your children

has been given up to other people, SO
that you cannot have it again but /

Words of Wisdom.

i grave, wherever found. breaches
short, pithy sermon 70 the soul.
He who can at all times sacrifice
pleasure TO duty approaches sublim-
ity.
If you pass for more than your
value, say little. 1t is much easier
TO look wise than TO talk wise.
One solitary philosopher may be
great, virtuous aud happy in the
midst Of poverty, but not a whole
people.
Common sense is looked upon as a
vulgar quality, nevertheless it is the
only talismau to cOndnct Us proper
ly through the world. The man of
refined sense has been compared to
Que who carries nothing but gold,
when be may be every moment in
want Of smaller change
They who are most impetuous in
the pursuit Of happiness usually meet
with the severest disappointment.
Happiness enters mos: freely into
the mind which is the most tranquil
in its desires.
Be just and truthful. Let these
be the ruling and predominating
principles of your life, and the re-
ward viii be certain either IN the
happiness they bring to your own
bosom, or the success which will at
tend upon all your business opera
tions in life, or both.
An open and generous heart viii
not permit cloud to hang upon the
brow of friend without inquiring in :
to the reason Of it, in hopes to be able
to dispel it.
In the pathway of life it is not the
great obstacles but the little him
drances which overcome US. 1t must
be high wall which we cannot sur
mount, but il is the little stone that
trips US up.

1t is known that the grain crop Of
the United States for 1877 is the lar
gest and best ever grown, the wheat
aggregating 325. 600 900 bushels and
the corn nearly l,30O,OOO,0OO bush

our exports to Europe have kept

have been shipping the new crop. we
have sent out of this country nearly

against about one-fourth that quanti-
ty during the some period OF last

fast as vessels can be obtained they
are loaded with cereals and packed on
to European ports. Cargoes may be

TIE ELECTORAL COMMISSION.
FRS WORK WELL DONE. OPINION
TO BE PUBLISHED.


TO- BE PUBLISHED.
The electoral Commission, consisting
Of Senators Bayard, Edmunds. Freling-
hQysen, Morton and Thurman, Sena-
tor Herman being appointed to take
Senator Thurman's vacant place, Rep
resentatives Abbott, Garfield. Hoar,
Hunton and Payne and Justices Brad
ley, Clifford, Field. Miller and Strong,
had a great work TO do. Each of the
four disputed States, Florida Louisi-
and, Dragon, and South Carolina, has a
constitution and laws Of It's own, differ
ingin each from the constitution and
laws Df each OF the other States, all
subject 10 the constitution and laws of
the United States. This increased til e
labor OF the Commission more than
four-fold Many law points had to be
examined md this required patience
ana persevering labor Generally the
fifteen Commissioners were divided,
standing 5 to7. They probably thought
on both sides that they were right.
We believe that the eight were right,
and that thssr decisions viii stand the
test Of lime.
1t is said that some Of the Commits
ss9nersmafe elaborate arguments and
gave profound opinions ON the subjects
before them. The Commission author
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1877-03-08

lied the Commissioners to write out
their opinions for publication with the
proceedings Of the Commission, and
the time has been extended to the 31st
Of March to do it. There will undoubt-
edly be some profound opinions writ
ten out, and as able on each side as
the writer's can give. The proceedings
will be published in book. And the
book will be second in interest to none
ever published on political-legal sub
jects. Perhaps it will be of the great
est interest, and may be long, even in
after ages, referred to for the opinions
upon the subjects before the Commits
sion for decision. -

CHY.
We have occupied considerable
space in giving an account Of the pro-
ceedings in counting the electoral
votes. We thought the Importance of
the proceedings justified it. The closing
proceedings were intensely interesting.
And we trust that the whole account
will be read with interest and profit.
We know that hereafter it will be
referred to in the TELEGRAPH, with
interest and profit.
AS will be seen by the close Of the
proceedings, the President Of theSenate
at ~ A. NJ, Friday, March 2, 1877,
announced That Rutherford B.. Hayes,
of Ohio. had been elected President Of
the United States, for four years
commencing March 4th, 1877, and
that William AWheeler, Of New Z DIRK,
had been elected Vice President of
the United States, for four years
commencing March 4th, 1877. Thi $
ded ded the election. And it may be
said that Hayes and Wheeler, at least
by the electoral votes as certified by
the electors Of the several States, and
as found by the Senate and House in
joint convention, relying upon the de-
Cisions Of the Electoral Commission as
to the votes of the electors Of the States
having returned more than one certii-
cate Of electors, and as announced by
the President of the Senate, have been
twice elected. Of the counting Of the
Electoral votes by Congress and the
announcement Of the election by the
President Of the Senate, it may be said
it came out right and we'll, though rum
ming narrow escape from going into
confusion and anarchy.
The Democrats knew, IL the ElectO-
raj votes were counted as heretofore,
that there would be no chance for Til
den and Hendricks. So they devised
and passed, with the help Of enough
Republicans, the bill providing for
counting the electoral votes, with
commission to decide upon the electo-
raj votes Of the disputed States, in
hopes that by some intrigue, accident,
or chance, that Tilden aud Hendricks
might be counted in. If they were,
they intended to abide the result, ex-
pecting that Hayes and Wheeler, and
the Republicans would also abide the
result. But if it became evident that
Hayes and Wheeler would be declared
elected majority Of the Democrats,
as has been fully developed during the
proceedings Of the count, did not in
tend to abide the result, bat intended
by every means within their power to
prevent the count from being compile
ted and to run the government into
confusion and anarchy.
Fortunately there were Democrats
enough who, though feeling deeply the
result of the count against them, and
feeling much dissatisfied with it, felt
that the law for counting the votes
should be carried out inl good faith, and
that the count should be completed and
the result abided These Democrats,
acting in unison with the Republicans,
defeated the majority OF the Demo-
Gratis from running the Government
into anarchy and confusion. Counting
the Electoral votes and the announce
ment Of the election Of Hayes and
Wheeler have ended well. And we
trust that ALL Is WE'LL

POETRY.
At the Last.
By JAMES BERRY BENsER

There must be something after all this woe;
sweet fruition from the narrowed past:
Rest some day for this pacing to and fro;
tender sunbe am and dear flowers at last,
There will be something When these days are done
Something more fair by far than starry nights
A nrospect limitless, one by one
EN- bodied castles crown the airy heights
So cheer up, heart, and fer that moro W wait!
Dream hat you will, but press toward the dream !;
Let fancy guide dull effort through the gate,
And face the current would she cross the sire am.
Then when the something lies athwart the way
Coming unsought as good things seem to do
Twill prove beneath the fash of setting day
nobler need than now would beckon you.
For lifted up by constant forward strife,
Hope will attain so marvellous hight
There can be nothing found within this life
After this day to form fitting night.
So heaven alone shall ever satisfy,
And Gods own light be ever light enough
To guide the purified, ennobed eye
Toward The smooth which lies beyond the rough.
There will be something when these clouds skim by
A bounteous yielding from the fruitful past;
Sweet peace and rest upon the pathway lie,
Fen though but death and flowers at the last
