TAMMANY VS.. TILDEN.

In yesterdays press dispatches We find the
flowing:
New York, june 6-The Tammany Hall
& neral Committee met tonight. There was
- iull attendance, among them August Schell
1lichard Schell, John Spencer and John Kelly.
henry L. Clinton presided and delivered an
address, which was received with prolonged
applause and adopted as an expression of the
Vows of the Tammany Hall Genearl Commit
toe. The address, while approving of the
Potter investigation, opposed any attack upon
the Presidential title as dangerous to our in
stitutions and frutless in its results, and de-
clared the decision of the Electoral Commits
sion should be acquiesced in, and that there
IS no appeal except in the ballot box in 1880.
Thus are Mr. Potter and his resolution
damned with faint praise. Tammany has an
old grudge against Tilden; and John Kelly as
yue of its most powerful sachems is not 10th
TO act in accordance with its promptings. The
Gsht between Tammany and Tilden is every
lit rs hot as that between the long hairs and
short hairs of California. As the MORNING
APPEAL has hitherto shown, the Potter ResO-
lutions have for their real object the promo
ton of Tildens claims to the Democratic nom
nation to the Presidency III 1880 1t is Pot
tors theory that anything which will prove
Tat Tildon was cheated out and Hayes cheat
cd in will rebound to Tilden's strength in
1880, And that's why it is that Tammany is
So explicit in avowing Its disapproval Of what
are known to be the real, actuating motives
Of those resolutions. That IS the politics of
the movement, so far as the Northern Democ-
racy are concerned.

The Indians are keeping pace with
the times-with all modern innovations
that make aud mar the social fabric.
They are initiative, and readily fall into
the ways and habits of those who arc
sent among them to minister to their
temporal aud spiritual welfare. 1t is true
there are no Boss Tweeds or Boss Shep-
pards among them, which is accounted
for by the fact that heretofore they have
had no good examples of these characters
among them. Under the new regime,
we have good reason to believe that the
Indians will soon furnish good limitations
of these great financial lights. While
they are deficient in these respects, they
give good evidence that they have not

dition, or teaching, or whatever it may

The scheme An Entire Success.
The question of putting on a line of
Mail Steamers from Yankton to Fort
Pierre, which was mentioned in the
COURIER several weeks ago, before any
other paper in the Territory was aware of
such a movement, has finally eliminated
in a grand success, and all the prepar
atoms have been made for Q semi weekly
packet to ply between the points above
mentioned, to take effect June list prox.
The contract for this mail service has
been awarded to Commodore Coulson, and
lis line Of steamers will do the business.
The Sioux City Journal on this subject
ssys the Snllowiug in regard to the impor-
lance of this project:
"This will be of vast importance to the
people Of the Black Hills country and
the Indian agencies, and shows that the
importance of the Pierre route to the
Hills, is being slowly but surely acknowl.

transportation, with the excellent stage
line first in operation, and the mail ser.
vices now in active operation, the i'm
portance of this route will daily increase
and the result will tend to build up the
trade Of that section of the country.
Our merchants have put forth some
commendablc efforts lately in increasing
their trade with the Hills, and should re
double their energies. There are 10000
