THE PROSPECTING EXPEDITION on THE
YELLOWSTONE.
A GORGEOUS PUFF FOR THE N. P. LANDS

A GORGEOUS PUFF FOR THE N. P. LANDS.
From the Bismarck Tribune, Aug, IA.
Wednesday afternoon Hon Dorrilus
Morrison, Gen. Rosser, John Ross, the
railroad builder, Geo. A. Bracket, and
Rev. Mr.. Tuttle and son returned from
their trip up the Yellowstone. They found
q country that treated them to succession
of the most gratifying surprises. When
so miles out the land began to improve
and continued getting better until they
reached Beaver creek, 175 miles from Bis
marck, where they found valley as rich
as the Red river valley, and far more beau
tiful and attractive. They rechristened
the river, and hereafter they expect in the
maps to show Pleasant valley river in place
of Beaver creek. The water of this very
large stream is very clear and good. 1t is
mountain stream, always clear and never
sluggish. a..... ...
In the so-called Bad Lands the party
focnd, in the opinion of John Ross, the
best pasture on the line of the Northern
Pacific. The buttes are covered nearly to
the top with the richest aud most nutri-
tious grasses. The bad lands will provide
the best kind of shelter and grazing for
the largest herds of Montana cattle IN
winter time. MIR. Braekett saw as pretty
hayfshh, h,nnesota or any other State. zoe
Pennel was in possession OF it, ana was
putting up hay for the Bismarck and Keogh
mail contractor. The water of the Little
| Missouri il as good as the Big Muddy.
The country all the way to the Yellowstone
is we'll watered, with plenty Of coal, and
ten times as much timber as between Bis
marck and Fargo. They found no aikai
land. The country as whole is better
than the similar strip between Bismarck
and Fargo or Fargo and Brainerd. MIR
Morrison thought it was not safe for th'
veracity of the party to report the country
as good as they really found it. They sav
plenty of deer, antelope and elk but not
single Indian. They cooked breakfas
or two with the coal they found. JONI

Criminal Statistics.

F. B. Sanborn has been collecting facts
regarding crime and criminals in the United
States The number of convicts is now
twice us great as in 1871. the relative fig
ures being $1,000 and 16, 600. The greatest
increase is in Georgia, Tennessee, and in
several Western States. The number of
persons in prison as convicts, or awaiting
trial, is $4,000, of whom less than one sixth
are women. About 10000 of the whole
number are in New York, and about 4,2Oo
in Massachusetts, where the proportion of
prisoners to population is greater than in
any other part of the country. In the
South the higher prisons are generally
made self-supporting by the labor of the
convicts, who are leased to contractors,
who may employ them anywhere in the
State. In Arkansas, the contractor pays
nothing but meets all expenses. In Ten
nessee, Georgia and Mississippi, stated
s.,nos in xaes.c5, l~r',---- axpensoo, arU paiu
by the contractors. Mr.. SanDor- ass.arAa.as
follows: "The general result of the labor
of convicts in the State prisons OF thirty
seven States--Delaware has no central
prison-falls $125O, 600 short of the earn
ings requisite to support the $4,000 con-
victs in those prisons last year. That sum-
divided among an average of 29,OOO state
prisoners gives an average cost of some
thing more than $43 year for each con-
vict. If we add in the sum paid for the
support of short-sentenced prisoners in jails
the total cost of the go, 900 persons in prison
throughout the year 1877 would probably
exceed $5, 600, 900, or something more than
| $50 year for each prisoner"

Louisiana Lynch Law.

A special telegram from Bayou Sara,
La, on the 7th, said: On Sunday night
last DR.. William B. Archer was return
ing to his home from Mai. Burton's, and
about ten o'clock he was fired on by
six negro men who were lying in the
bushes waiting for him. Five of the
negroes had double-barreled guns and
one musket. DR.. Archer was on horse
back and riding on the levee. The as
sassins were concealed behind two very
large cottonwood trees standing within
a few feet of the levees, and all of them
fired as the doctor was passing these
trees, his clothes being riddled with
bullet holes, and he was thrown from
his horse but fortunately not much in
iured. The assassins took to their
heels, running in different directions,
but it was ascertained who the parties
were who attempted the foul act, and
on Tuesday morning large number of
citizens collected together at Raccourci,
where the act was committed, and a
jury of twelve of the best citizens, most
of them old, gray-headed men, was
chosen, who, after lengthy and
thorough examination, found the pris-
OuelS, uN0 III nullDer NOne having luutlG
his escape), guilty of shooting at DR..
Archer with intent to kill. Many wit
nesses were examined, all colored, and
two of the prisoners were allowed to
make their statements, having requested
permission to do so.
They stated that they intended to kill
DIR. Archer on Sunday night, and after
making away with him they were to
kill Mr.. Olejune, Mr.. William Piequet
and Mr.. Frank Burton. They stated
also that they belonged to an organ,
lied club, the object of which was tC
kill the leading white men in the coun-
try and establish nation of their own
They gave the names Of many mem
bers, the names of their President anC
Vice-President, and a general expose
of their plans.
After the examination closed thC
prisoners were conducted to a shad,
grove by all the citizens present, anC
aftermature deliberation it was resolved
to turn them over to the law. Th,
prisoners were placed in charge of
