FROM THE BLACK HILLS.

A letter from Dead wood City, dated
February 18th, says: 1.-THE people
here are doing what they can to sus-
tain the reputation of the camp as a
lively locality. Last night a woman
was choked nearly TO death. a woman
of the town committed suicide, and a
lady who is running a hotel was gross
lv insulted. She armed herself with a
revolver, and started Mr.. Lawyer on a
brisk race around the hillsides. To-
day the same man had an EAR bitten
of by a man of whom he had spoken
of direspectfuliy. The same night the
Indians killed a butcher from Mon
tana. named Tom Morgan. He was
driving SOME cattle to a slaughter pen
a few miles from this place. y lew
days ago the red skins ran off seven
W five head of horses, and wounded
one man who was herding them. He
killed two Indians after he was
wounded. To day they have brought
news from Spearti>h valley that the
sa have cleaned out the whole
valley. This is getting a little serious
aud rather 100 troublesome. Ameeting
of the citizens was held to day for the
purpose OF raising enough men to start
after the Indians. The United States
troops are too slow for the miners,
who have their claims all staked out
and ready to work As soon a. spring

at very reasonable figures. A big

in the spring. The main trouble will
be the Indians, and they will give

To day the opium law goes into eff
feet, and very probably there will be
wailing and gnashing of teeth among
the Chinese before the rising of an
other sun. We have no been favored
with a copy OF the bill, introdu ced by
j. |. Smith, of this town, but under
stand that it prohibits the sale of the
drug except by druggists, and then
only 10y prescription. OF course the
bill was intended a. a direct blow
against the Chinese, and by its rigid
enforcement stop The sale of the drug,
and thus compel hundreds of the white
population VINO indulge in the vice to
give up smoking the drug. II will
simply be a matter OF impo>>ibility To
stop the smoking of opium by the
Chinese. Most Of them have been
''slaves of the pipe" for a score or
more of years, and law or no law,
nothing would compel them to give
up The habit. II the law is TO be ell
forced only against the sellers of the
drug, the ''Heathen Chin+e'' are Gun
ming enough to make the law wholly
imperative by sending to San Fran
cisco for the drug, and have 1t for
warded to them in person. The bill
will hardly prove a success, aud the
leading Chinese merchants of San
Francisco write to their patrons here
that a test case will be Immediately
made to test the conslitutionality of
the law before the Supreme Court.
