The Holiday. at Fort Rice.

A correspondent at RICE sends us the
following account of ball given at that
post by the Benteeu Athlete Association
Of Co. HK7th Cavalry: The hall was
beautifully decorated. At the end was
an arch with the usual welcome.
Under this 1871" Above the arch
there was the monogram II with Z in
the centre AT the left of the hall were
two bats and ball and shield, with two
Indian clubs united, and the m ottoes,
.'Love, Peace and friendship" "United
we Stand, Divided we Fall''' and "God
Protect our Country The shield was
surrounded BY wreaths. Two pairs Of
boxing gloves were also handsomely
displayed. Onsthe right of the hall was
shield with themottoes, "God Protect
our. Country" "Good will to all and
Malice to None." ''We strive to Con-
quer," and "Hailzto the Gallant H and
all their !friends.'' Indian clubs and
boxing gloves were also tastefully ar
ranged. In the centre of the hall was a
large illuminated shield with the in
scription, 1--WE honor Him whose name
we bear."yt In front OF the stage there
was large illuminated shield and above
it "Kind Friends Welcome, Above,
the stage Was Was an arch Illuminated, on
the right and left Of il the figure Z with
cross sabres and. in. the centre "Benteen
Athlete Association Garrison flags
were gally displayed about the hall.
The mess room of the company was
decorated with flags at the entrance and
the table with i'm mense boquets of arti.
fclal flowers, while the usual ,substan-
tials, together with fruits, candies and
wines, and cigars and liqurs of all kinds,
was tastefully spread. 'fs4 s''2''
To Col, Scully, A. Q. NJ, belongs
much credit for the handsome manner
in which the hall was decorated. He
was not sparing Of means at his COM
mand and gave his personal attention
to an entertainment entitled "Santa

the officers at the post, in which two

ABILITIES they have to offer to carry out

facilities they have to offer to carry out
the objects Of these resolutions.
A good and direct wagon road is the
first thing needed, and daily mail and
stage from Bismarck to the Hills. Next
the railroad companies should shorten the
time so that passengers could go from
Bismarck in two days. This can be done
if the railroads will average 20 miles per
hour. With the Brainerd branch com
pleted or the extension from Melrose to
Glyndon or the extension from Brecken-
ridge SO as to form junction somewhere
in Dakota with the N. p. r. R., would
enable passengers from Chicago to reach
Bismarck in two days by the present slow
rate Of speed adopted by all western rail
roads. It seems to your committee that
! the railroads of the northwest are not
suitably awake to their own interests in
this matter, and that a concert Of action
on their part SO as to meet the demands
Of trade and travel that is sure to flow to
the Black Hills next year would result in
largely increased receipts to their own
treasures, and be Of great
BENEFIT 40 THE ENTIRE NORTHWEST.
With good stage and wagon road from
Bismarck to the Hills, and the shortening
of the railroad time as we have indicated,
passengers from Minneapolis would reach
the Hills in three days; from Chicago in
four days, and from Washington, Phila-
delphia or New York in five days. This
would make the northern route from two
to four days shorter than it would be pos
sible over any other route. In this esti-
mate we have allowed two days by stage
from Bismarck, but Capt. Russell Blakely,
of st. Paul, the oldest and beststage man
in the northwest, says that with a good
and direct road he will guarantee to take
passengers through in thirty-six hours.
With these suggested improvements,
which are perfectly practicable, the north
ern route would take the largest part of
the travel to the Hills, and as it would be
through our State, Minneapolis could not
help reaping solne share of the advantag-
es to be gained. We therefore trust that
the resolutions presented will receive the
hearty endorsement of the Board. All OF
which is respectfully submitted. ~"

the 4 heft of the Pabi,c Timber.

WAsHrR GToE, May 27.-The recent
operations of the government against de-
predators upon the public timber lands in
Minnesota, and more recently in Louisi-
ana, have attracted considerable atte n
tion to the general subject, and will
doubtless lead to legislation at the next
session of Congress that will enable the
department to efiectually break up the
present wholesale plundering of the pub
lie timber domain. The information OBJ
tanned by the General Land Office in re-
gard to the Calcasieu district of LoIisi-
ana, where last weeks extensive seizures
were made, is to the effect that the entire
community, occupying the region which
extends from the Sabine river to within
about six miles of the Calcasieu river, and
north and south about fifty miles, is en-
gagged, directly or indirectly, in the tim.
ber trade, with the full knowledge that
ninety per cent. or more of the timber is
unlawfully cut from lands belonging tc
the government.

DEMOCRATIC FLoRIDA.-Mr. K. V Small

Drew OF that State, who Is represented as
saying: "Florida is getting on very well
under the new order of things. Close econ
omy is being introduced in all branches of
the government. We shall save this year
$4,000 in our court expenses, S25 600 in
the cost of running the penitentiary, and a
very large gross sum in county expenses.
All classes are satisfied that the change OF
administration has been productive Of good" !"
The Governor added that the people were
convinced that the education OF the blacks
is essential to the welfare OF the State, and
declared that the funds for education will
be applied with entire impartiality for the
benefit OF the two races.

TINES sIMPRovING.-Thefi fie11res nro-
duced by the tables of the New York
journal Of Commerce, which are uni
formly more reliable than those of the
official bureaus at Washington, show that
We have been selling more to foreign
countries than we have been buying and
importing during the first nine months of
the present fiscal year. Our exports for
the nine months up 10 March 81 exceed
ed our imports by one hundred and fifty-
five millions (S155, ,OO0,OO0.)
The exports of specie and bullion were
five millions less than the imports there
OF. In the month of March the imports
OF specie and bullion al all the ports. as
gwen in these tables, were S3.554, ,793.
against $2,125, ,125 of exports. This Jour
nal adds, "if specie has gone out more
freely since the outbreak of hostilities.
that may be easily explained, not Sc
much by return of bonds as by the
greater call for balance due on foreiop
account, which had accumulated here
and which any foreign agitation was sure
20 call home."
These figures indicate great improve.
ment and better times in the future II
we continue TO buy less than we sell.
There is a continued demand fo,
American produce in Europe. and Il i,
presumed this demand will be greatly
increased as the war in the East pro.
crosses, stopping, as it doubtless will all
shipment of grain from the great Rms
sian marts of supply. This demand W,
will be able to meet fully from the har
vest fields OF 1877. The acreage is sal,
to be greater than ever and the crops ar
reported to be promising tremendou
yield. All this will tend to diminish tn
price of gold; and should Congress a
Its next session make silver legal ten
der there will be no doubt that speci
payments may be safely resumed in
very brief period.

ds May 2S, IS17.E

THE Republican is pleased to note
that the GAZETTE recommends that the
guilty should be punished In the case of
the bloody shooting in De Kalb county,
Mississippi. The GAZETTE has steadily
maintained that offenders should be tried
and when found guilty suffer the penalty
Of the law. But the difficulty in the
South has been that those guilty of
crimes against white men have either
not been tried, or when tried and con-
Victed have been pardoned out of prison
oy such Republican leaders as kellogg,
Ames, Packard and Chamberlain, to 90
and commit other murders. Then it be-
came notorious that the whole stock-in-
trade Of the Republican party was made
OF outrages manufactured for the purpose
OF keeping the "bloody shirt" before
The people. This was done until even
such Republican papers as the New York
Tribune, Herald, and the Philadelphia
Ledger and Evening Telegraph, and a
great part of the Republican party be-
came disgusted with it. We asked fol-
the trial of Fisher, Harrington, Babcock,
beiknapS and many others long before
they were tried. But trial was DELAYED
IN two cases until matters were fixed up
to secure escape from punishment, and
many other cases we believe have never
yet been brought to trial, because these
arrangements for escaping the law have
not been perfected. 1t is notorious
tnae the whites have suffered almost all
Klnds OF outrages from the negroes in
tae Southern States while the whole Of
the State governments were in Republican
hands. But we do not wish to see retail
lation, while this, to some extent. NIGH
be expected. We have nothing to do will

we had we should urge that the laws b,
fully vindicated in the North as well a

CINctNNArI, May N.-Reports from
all parts of Ohio and Indiana point to a
remarkable yield of the grain corps. The
condition of wheat is almost unprecedent.
1t is estimated by farmers that the pro-
duct will equal if not exceed the memoir
able year of 1854. A large acreage OF
corn Is planted and Is doing finely

the damage is inconsiderable. The pros
