LoUIsIANA.-The latest news in refer
ence to the Louisiana situation is that
an impression bordering on conviction
pefvades the President and Cabinetthat
neither Nichols or Packard has legal
right to recognition as Governor Of that
State. The State Law requiring the vote
for Governor and Lieutrnant- Governor
to be canva>sed by the Legislature has
not been complied With in either case.
The Cabinet believe that the only legal
way out Of the trouble was the appoint
ment Of Commission to inquire into
this question. 1t would seem probable
that this oversight would render new
election necessary in Louisiana.

ARREsTED.-Five men have been ar

murderers of the ive Chinese Of whom
mention was made last week. Suspicion
pointed to them as the authors Of the
deed, but whether it can be brought
home to them is another question. But
all good citizens will join in the hope
that If they are the guilty parties it will
be so proven. The security of all classes

DoN'T BELIEVE IT.-The telegraph
tells little story of II man who called on
Hayes for an appointment, and after the
President had inspected his papers and
recommendations he dismissed him, say
ing, "There was an insuperable objection
TO his appointment, which was that his
wife was Il favorite cousin of Mrs. Hayes. :"
it looks to us as though this story origin
ated in the fertile brain of some reporter
who wanted to get in parting fling at
Grant. Mrs. Hayes cousin in law ought
to stand in Just the same position as any
other men, with just the same rights,
neither more nor less.

!ohn Phillips Acquitted.

The hosts Of friends of Mr.. John Phil
lips, of C~hugwater, will be glad to learn
that the charges made against him by
certain parties, of killing a steer not
belonging to him, and appropriating
the beef, have been investigated by a
jury of twelve men, who yesterday
found him not guilty of the charge.
We have known the bottom facts in
this case for some time. but have re-
Trained from a discussion of its merits,
for fear that it might injure Phillips
cause to be championed by a newspa-
per, when legal investigation was about
to be had.
John Phillips IS n of our Oldest
pioneers, who lived in the northern
part OF this county long before the ave-
rage white man thought it safe to set
tie there. After his connection with
the army as its intrepid guide and bold
messenger between the northern Forts
Kearney, Smith and Reno, he settled
on the Chugwater and took up and i'm
proved one of the finest ranches In this
county. BY hard, honest work he has
succeeded in acquiring a competency for
himself and family; but he has also
aroused the jealousy and hatred of the
improvident and the shiftless. One of
the latter, for reasons known, but
which we need not mention here, has
become the sworn enemy Of Phillips;
and in his malicious and secret machi-
nations the recent prosecution had its
origin.
Threats have been made frequently
by the party that Phillips would be
driven from the Chugwater, and the
accusation of killing Mr.. S~earight's
steer was probably intended to scare
Phillips out Of the Territory. But the
latter, conscious of his innocence, faced
his accusers, as he often has faced his
old foe, the red man, and he has come
of as victorious in this legal fight with
white men as he has in his hand-to-hand
combats with Sioux Indians.
Phillips enemies may as we'll under
stand that he proposes to stay.op his
property on the Chugwater. He Is a
peaceable,S law-abiding citizen, who,
knowing his rights, dares to maintain
them. He and his family will have the
fullest protection the law can give
them In the possession and enjoyment
Of their property.

It is surprising that neitdet. the Gov

eminent of the United States, through
its officials of the U. S. Marshal's office,
nor the County Commissioners, through
| the officials of the Sherif's office, have
made any effort whatever to pursue and
capture the highwaylnen who have
waylaid and stopped the U. s. mails
and shot a mail carrier during the past
week, and interrupted travel on the
public highway of Laramie county, and
robbed the people travelling in the
coaches of the Cheyenne Stage Com
pany, as well as the treasure boxes of
the company.
Does it not come within the sphere
of duties of the United States and
county officials to proceed at once to
the place where these crimes against
the United States and this Territory
have been committed? Do they wait
for orders to do this duty ? and who Is
to give these orders? We remember a
few years ago, when a U. s. mail coach
was stopped and robbed in Utah, the
government officials, assisted by Nor
non deputy sheriffs, had the robbers in
irons within three days after the crime
was committed. But here in Wyoming,
where the same crime has been perpe-
trated three days in succession, not a
county or government official, so far as
can be learned, has made the slightest
effort to bring the criminals to justice.
1t is high time that our officials
should wake up, and assist the stage
company in preserving its property from
the depredations of highwaymen, and
to keep the best route to the Black
Hills open and secure to public travel.
If We cannot guarantee safety to life
and property on the Cheyenne route,
the travel will be diverted to other
channels. If the Cheyenne mail route
cannot be kept free from highwaymen,
who stop the U. S. mails and shoot U.
s. mail carriers, the Postofice Depart
ment will certainly order the mails car
ried over some other route.

sites. -

18th on the rocky heights overlooking

Hurlburtson, with q party of prospect

There has not yet been a stick of hard

it grows here large enough to be util-
lied In this way.
Who can tell why there are no trout
in the bright, clear streams of the Black

The big rush of emigration seems to
be over for this year. Well, we will
have something new for them next
spring. We believe that next year there
will be employment in the Black Hills
for three times rs many men as there
are here now.
Whether Father De Smet's quick
silver mine should ever be found here
or not, there is certainly quicksilver in
the Black Hills. Quicksilver has been
found in sluices In the central part Of
the Hills, where it is positively known
none had ever been used in mining for
gold.
The placer proceeds of Potato gulch
district are estimated at SO. per day
for every man employed. Potato gulch
and the gulches embraced in its district
give employment to very nearly 3,0oC

Of the streams are running with a good
