PREPARING TO INACCURATE.

The active preparations being made by
our citizens to secure grand iuausurs'
ton demonstration should meet with great
success. Give us a foe demonstration.
The country, and especially the people Of
Washington, never had greater occasion
for rejoicing than now. We are standing
upon the threshold Of bright aud pros
porous era in our national life. The bonds
off deeper and more earnest friendship
between the North and the South have
been signed within the past month by the
people of both sections. The Southern
leaders, by their brave and courageous
course in aiding to battle the Ubiquitous
conspiracy Of the filibusters. have given
unmistakable evidence that such bonds
exist, and the popular sentiment among
the Republican party everywhere shows
undoubtedly that the time has come for
sectional hate to disappear and tho spirit
of peace and good will to hold sway among
our whole people who hereafter shall
know no East West, North or South, but
all shall be merged In one common Union
whose government shall be Of the people,
for the people, aud by the people, 80 long
as the Republic stand.
National Republican., 1877-03-02

THE excitement Is increasing in regari to
the gold regions of the Black Hills.
Active preparations are being made
by parties in New York, St. Louis,
Chicago and other cities to migrate
to that charmed bourne early In the spring.
1t is estimated that fifty thousspd persons
will visit that country during the present
season. This number added to those already
there will swell the population Of the
Hills to sixty or seventy thousand.
As general thing this popu.
lation will be made up of adventurers and
rough class, who will need the restraining In.
auences of rigidly enforced laws to keep that
country from q state Of anarchy and confu.
sion. At present portion Of that section Is
not definitely understood to be under the con-
troll of any Of the courts Of Wyoming, Mon:
tana or Dakota. There is consequently con-
lict Of authority, and when two authorities
are up neither are supreme. For this reason
1t is sbelieved that the wisest thing Con-
gress can do Is to make o separate Terri
tory of the Black Hills region, and thus
settle the perplexing question, and give to the
large number Of people there, and those now
on their way, besides the thousands who vii,
coon follow, good government and protect
ting laws. This will have to be done sooner
or later, and If done during the present ses.
sion of Congress, It will save that region from
dangerous state Of anarchy during the com
ing season.

purpose of arresting colored tbief, who has
resisted the authorities on the grouud that
a warrant issued by the HAMPTON govern
ment was invalid, because Judge of the
State has pronounced South Carolina
without de jdo.o government This state
of affairs cannot exist long in State with.
out the most serious and blighting cons ,

with two political factions, the one arrayed
