Great men are slow Of comprehension,

Great men are slow Of comprehension,
and it frequently happens that they are sew
eral years in gaining an understanding Of
the simplest propositions. We (or rather
the people who live in the states do) elect
presidents, and presidents appoint secreta-
ries of the interior and commissioners Of
Indian affairs. The parties who are thus
appointed are supposed to be very wise
but experience teaches us that this is mere
supposition. If it we're not so, they would
demonstrate the contrary by taking in easy
situations at glance, and acting according.
ly. Since the spring of 1873 Indian goods
have each year been delivered from the rail
road to the steamboat transportation con
tractors at Yankton, yet the wise men in the
eastern department Offices have not discov.
cred the circumstance. Year after year they
they go on advertising for bids for steam
boat transportation from Sioux City to the
Indian post, and year after year special ar
rangements are afterwards made whereby
the supplies are brought to Yankton by raj
and here delivered to the boats. It wouli
seem that in the course of time they woulc
discover that steamboats, do not go below
Yankton during the business season, and
that their contract lettings should be mad,
from the point of delivery.

Ex-Gov. Packard was before the Louis
lana subcommittee of the Potter committee
last Saturday, in the capacity of witness
His testimony was to the effect that his title
to Office was as good as that of the president
that he was elected by S,436 majority, but
was ousted by large armed mob. All Of
this is nothing new to the public, but will
serve to call attention to half forgotten facts.
Gov. Packard had an impression that the
commission went TO Louisiana for the pur-
pose Of breaking up the Packard legislature,
though he does not think Hayes sent them
for that purpose. He thought that if he
had been allowed troops he could have sus
tanned himself as governor, snd that oppo'
sition would have gradully died away.

The Vermillion Standard, in bolsterina
up the case of Gen. Bonneville, deceased
makes use of the following language by
way of comparison:
The case of Fred. Grant, for instance.
Young Grant never evinced more than or.
dinary intelligence, the majority of his class
at West Point standing ahead of him in
academic honors; and, if reports be true,
he is possessed of naughty, imperious
spirit, born of arrogance and selfimport-
ance, wholly incompatible with honorable
success in any field.
Very many of our citizens who are per-
sonally acquainted with Col. Grant will
take exceptions to the charge of naughty,
imperious and arrogant nature attributed
him by the Standard. He is a courteous,
pleasant spoken gentleman and withal pos
sesses more than average military ability.

Gen. Grant says Wade Hampton is as
great traitor as. ever lived and Grant is
generally not far of the track in his deduc-
tions. He further AYERS that in year from

South Carolina.

Delegate Kidder was in Washington at
last advices and as he is to return by way
of st. Paul, where his invalid wife still re-
sides, it is probable that he will not reach
Dakota before the middle Of the month.
