Prssid snt Of the Council.

II the people Of this Territory had any
doubts, as 70 who was the President Of
the Council, convened at Yankton, ret:
erence to the End days proceedings as
published in another column, would GER
taiuly dispel every shadow. 1t is Walter
A. Burleigh, Of Yankton, Yankton coun-
ty, D. T., and he was not only elected and
sworn in once. but at the earnest instance
Of Councilman Bailey, who lawyer like,
desired to have matters proceed under the
rule, he was elected taoice, and the Chief
Justice was a second time called in to
clinch the matter by the administering Of
a second oath; and to make the election
sure, or in the abundance Of caution" the
record shows that Burteigh voted for BUR-
LEIGH. Now if this is not Res judicata, let
some other member of the Judiciary COM
mittee,. nose those Internal statutes for
grounds for re-hearing. Viewing this
as u commendable precedent, its happy
effect is beyond our feeble power of por-
traying; it not only establishes rule for
all future Legislatures of this Territory,
but it brings our benighted and much
abused land out from sorrowful OBSCURE
ty into line with, yes, abooe the old sogy,
time rutted, milldewed method that State
Legislatures have so enormously followed
since their organizations. Returning
boards are eclipsed, "bulldozed' will be
supplanted by "Burleighed," and the light
struck, in the little Council of 10, may IL
Illuminate the presidential muddle so that
some one of our puzzled statesmen may
gather in its brilliancy, an element that
will solve even a national problem.

An Elk Point correspondent of the
Journal states that he is informed by
Capt. Duncan, that 'at least iwo-ii'irIs III
the settlers If Liaeola county have left
their claims, not having the means for
their substance during the winter"
Justice compels us to dispute this. Our
residence in, and business relations
throughout this county have failed to give
US this information. 1t is true that a Sc
we're hal! storm passed through some Of
the western portions of this county down
the valley of the Vermillioa and the town:
ship Immediately adjoining that, where
Capt. Duncan resides, felt its effects seri.
ously, and several we find have left that
precinct, but the assertion that two-thirds
of the population of Lincoln county have
abandoned their homes, is untrue, and
doubtless if made, was certainly made I'M
der great misapprension. The vote of last
November indicated population of up
wards of 5000, and if upwards of 5000,
according to the Capt's., statement have
left this county since November 7th, then
they at least have left their counterparts,
in names and in looks; and the telescope
which sighted their stampede, was either
inverted or composed Of perforated pa
per Such an exaggeration Of a de-
parture. is as thin as the statement Of an
individual who desired to impress an in

ttowz started out west, who said, there was
not vacant house in town, none to buy
or rent for love or money; but on being
pressed as to the size Of the town, he re-
piled there was only one house there, aud
the owner occupied that with his family.

oevsrnor psrnington's Message.

It would be gratifying to US it we could
present this message in FULL in our col
unns. Usually such documents are read
hastily. aud without much interest by the
masses, but this message should be upon
the table Of every household within the
Territory. The Governor writes as he
talks, plainly, but to the point; no exag.
Grafton, no coloring, and when we consld
er the fact that he is not q temporary
resident but has come to stay, whether IS
Governor or as a private citizen, and has
identified himself closely with our inter-
ests by solid and large investments In the
Territory,i it lends additional interest to this.
Briefly, we allude to some of its portions.
Of our prosperity, he says, "Notwithstand-
ing the misfortuncs VIC have had to con-
tend with, we have steadily increased IN
population and wealth, and the condition
of the people of the Territory, is much
better than when the last Legislature adj
lourned. While the present winter may
develop some few instances of extreme
poverty and some destitution, it is no more
than is to be expected, and no more than
has heretofore existed and does now exist
in all new countries, and it is matter of
songratulation that our own means are
abundantly ample to provide for all SUCH"
As to grasshoppers, he says, "But as
grasshoppers have appeared in various
countries, and in different sections of the
same country for thousands Of years, and
as within century they have been quite
as bad in several of the New England
states as they have been for the last few
