1AmmAEY THIEVES.

New York, Jan. 4.-The bosrd Of alder
men met to-day and received from the
Tweed examining committee the report Of
their Investigations. The committee think
adequate effort has net been made to punt b
the thieves. and recover their plnnder.
They are impressed with the belief that it
il contrary to On d morals that such men
as Garvey, Woodward, Inyeraoll, Oakley
Hall, Keyser and others whore p~articipa-
ton in the frauds ia in proof. should be per-
mitted to enjoy their stolen thousand, un-
molested. without any %seriou, effort to COM

and letting the rest 60. They point out
that without apeclal legislation cnrrnptly
procured at Albany, none of these frauds
could have been perpetrated. Legislators
we're openly bought and sold by the ring
and by two great railroad companies. They
rehearse at length the methods If the ring,
and assume that from 1860 to 1871 the CITY
vas robbed Of $50, 900, 900. At present all
the thieves with one exception were at large.
Several are living in or near Nv York in

and all claim immunity on the ground that
they have been used a. witnesses Against

pretext, and they aver that the manner in
which most Of theae ring thieves have been
treated has done almost % much to demoral.

Sioux City journal.
Several Sioux CITY folks were more or
less financially concerned to their snrrow
in he 90 race at Lincoln te ween NJ THE
son and Mccall, bots OF whom are known
here, and they also felt some interest in tue
subsequent contest between Ltndaker, the
Missouri swift-foot, and Mathiesou, the
successful man in the first race and the un-
successful man 10 the second race. The
Lincoln journal has struck the true inward
ness Of some Of the features of the Ian
daker-M athieson race, particularly in regard
to Landaker's a%ntecedents and the circum
stances which led to his heing on hand
lust in the nick Of time to catch the Lin
coin sports in the proper humor to be
plucked. That paper has received a c.uple
of |. tiers from q business man in Dallas
City, III, which say that Lsndaker Is not q
| Missouri boy at all, but that he is . citizen
of Dallas Citv, where his father is a physi-
clan of large practice. Landaker is called
Justly at home, and first discovered his
sneed a few years ago VIII lie assisting the
butchers of that t,wn 10 driving ca tie,
when he could nu;-run a horse. He has
run many races 10 the west and east, and
had Just returned from Boston where he
won a large wager for his hacker. He has
made his seventv-fve yards 10 seven sec
onds. The letter says lba, when be ran In
Lincoln he WAS out OF sorts and bad a
trouble of the kidreys. From f,cts the
writer says be gathered from the boys in
the store in the evenings, this racing bus
mess is operated by a ring composed ofsev-
eral sports, Crande'l, Mou.ton. Scott,
Wright, Kendall aud Others, all in "%snucks."
When they find q man vict 'rious at any
point, where the people will back him, a
rae, is fixed up, as in Lincoln, and Lau-
daker is hacked to beat him. The Letter
says: Like horse racing, no hone.ty
comes in win the money is the game. We
had 1t played On us once by the ring send
ing q man here to beat Lspdake or course
he did so, and the winnings were divided.
They are = rascally set in the business, and
always manage to rake in the money from
friends as we'll as strangers. Moulton, one
Of the chief men, is and has been tor some
time in Boston. Lsndsker Was produced
there to beat him. as he (Moulton) was the
world beaten down east among the Yam
KEGS, and they backed their man largely.
Of course Landaker Won. Mnulton is the
man sent here once to WIN against Ian
daker. They are all in partnership. Out

The silver question vas briefly discussed
last Friday by the cabinet, rather with re-
ference to the probability Of the modi6ca-
lions of the Bland bill than to the action of
the president should that bill pass. From

A Comfortable Outlook for Our Future.
Correspondence New York Tribune.
DAKorA's PLEASANT OUTLOOK.
Having been allowed to express my fears
of grasshopper ravages in this region last
to show the actual result, of the farming
operations If the year 1877. 1t is quite
natural for farmers to indulge in croaking,
and prophesy all manner Of disasters; but
when they are happily disappointed BY q
bountiful harvest, they are too apt to silent
ly pocket the proceeds without honestly re-
tracing their unjust suspicious of the boun-
ty Of Providence. 1t is we'll known that
the ground in most parts of the northwest
was last fall thickly seeded with locust
eggs, and that, strange to relate, the insects
failed, from a great variety of causes, to
produce any destructive effects on crops in
general. In Yankion county, and in fact all
the cultivated parts of Dakota, the crops
have been immense compared to those of
previous years.
On the main roads leading into Ysnkton
are seen every Gay long strings of teams
laden with wheat or returning laden with
lumber and goods. All over the prairies
teams are getting the fall blowing done ex-
cept where the threshing machines are at
work. Of these latter there are more than
twice Is many in the country - in previous
years; and they are all we'll supplied with
work from early harvest to December or
later. These ten-horse machines would
hardly find room to operate OF some ofihe
or will often have to keep one running stead
lily for a week or two. The threshers tell
me that the average of fields this year pro.
duced about twtnty.three bushels of wheat
per acre, by their system Of measure. But
this wheat, when taken in, lots of several
car loads, weighs sixty two to sixty-four
pounds to the bushel, and passes inspection
as No. l. Hence I doubt not that many of
the large fields have yielded twenty-five
bushels per acre when sold by weight, al is
the universal practice.
Another point of superiority is that Da-
kota wheat is mostly hard or flint wheat,
and gives the bert satisfaction to the millera
of the whole northwest of any grain they
grind. We are all amused and yet indig.
nant at an article in your columns, BY a
Georgia writer, charging the millers Of the
northwest with fraud and adultera.ion in
their -four. If the writer had ever seen
ON millions Of bushels Of wheat rolling
INTO market, and our steam-mills running
twenty-three hours per day to dispose of q
little Of it he would have learned in time
that the adulteration of -four, if prac iced
at all in this country, must be looked for in
the south and east, where good whe.t is
and high, and not in the great, rich,
bonntiful wheat-growing p~rairies.
So great are the crops of hay and grain
here that straw il generally pronounced q
huge nuisance in threading time. 1t takes

out OF family feud of long standing.
IoneS's brother was killed several wears

therefore swore that he would kin the
latter on sight. The hostile parties met
to-day, when Toney proceeded to carry
out his threat. He drew pistol and
fired, killing the two Booths before he
was shot himself. Friends of both par
ties were drawn into the fight, and about
II shots were fired in all. There was a
Democratic political meeting in progress
at the time, about half mile from the
village OF Edgefield, in which the shoo
lns occurred, and Governor Hampton,
who Was at the meeting, as soon as he
heard the fight, ordered a company OF

CAPTAIN GALLAGHER was not seen
Staggering from saloon TO saloon, licensed

ing the voters and setting them to fight
ing and killing each other. He had no
extra $1,000 salary to spend in securing
his nomination by subsidizing the gin
mills of the city.-Republicdn.
Certainly the GAZETTE has not accused
Capt. Gallagher of any such thing as the
Republican connects his name with in
the above. Nor do we know anyone
that has.
Mr.. Almonds friends are fully aware
OF his sobriety, steady business habits
and good conduct; and we believe we
never knew him to be guilty of anything
approaching the fancy picture which the
Republican has drawn.
We did not see him on Saturday, but
we passed so near him about s p. M,
in front of George p. Robinson's
confectionery, where his friends were
congratulating him, as to hear his
voice and feel quite sure he was in his
usual bright condition for business and
shortly after he met his Democratic
friends at the meeting in the engine house,
Tenth and Shipley, and they will all tes-
tify to his sobriety, and the good taste
with which he replied to the committee
who congratulated him on his nomina-
tion.
On Friday evening we met him on a
matter OF business, and we know that he
could not have been imbibing either beel
Or liquor or we should have discovered
it.
In fact we must be permitted to insure
our friends that we have the stronges
reason to believe that the Republica,
took deliberate pains to make assertion.
and throw out inuendoes in its issue OF
Tuesday that are totally false, and so in
credible as to make Mr.. Almond,
friends more active than ever. Sucl
falsehoods will recol upon its own party
already hundreds of Republicans VIII,
