prove . great source of wealth. This firm
has been engaged in cheese manufacture

From parties who arrived to-day from the
Hill, We learn that Mr.. French succeeded
in getting away with a large portion of the
stock belonging to the Pierre and Black
Hills stage line. A little sharp practice was
INDUCED in to accomplish this. French's
attorney At Rapid City told Van Tassel that
he would not be prepared to try the case for
q week. Van Tassel had business at Dead
wood and went up there to attend to it. The
case was called the next day and as there
was no n to appear against French he was
released and Immediately skipped out fol-
parts unknown.

JEFFERSON, Ohio, April 8, 1877
Mr.. L. II. Painter, Washington. D. c.:
My DEAR SIR Your letter of the 9Th
was duly received. You ask me wheth-
er | remember what said in favor of
President Hayes, in my endeavor to pro
cure his nomination at the Cincinnati
Convention. | do remember it, after
what has transpired, with indignation
and bitterness of soul that never felt
before. You know with what untiring
zeal | laborcd for the emancipation of
the slaves of the South, and to procure
Justice tor them before and during the
t,"AA l. ,"aa i" Congress, aud supposed
Coy. Hayes was in full accord with me,
on this subject. But have been decev-
ed, betrayed, and even Inundated by the
tobl 80 it ll.lo tdNtti, " q htSitS tIlal i
have not language to express. During
the first week Of his administration we
find him closcted with two of the worst
and most malignant enemies of the col
ored race that eau be found in all that
slavc-cnrsed region, and there consulting
with those malctactors how best he can
put these colored people under the iron
heel of their most bitter enemies and
reduce them to n condition infinitely
worse than before they We're made free.
feel that to have emancipated these
people, and then to leave them unpro-
tected, would be a crime as infamous as
to have reduced them to slavery when
they were free. And for Hayes to do
this to the men who had at the hazard
Of their lives, gave him the votes with
out which he never could have had the
power to do this terrible injustice
No doubt he meditates the destruction
OF the party that elected him. A con,
temptation of all this, fills me with
amazement and inexpressible indigna-
ton. My only consolation is that histo-
ry informs me that better men than |
ever pretended to be, have, in like man
ner, been deceived. Some have attemp-
ted to excuse him by saying that he
means well, but hell is paved with just
such good intentions.
Truly yours, B. f. WADE.
