jim HILL, late Secretary of State, has
been nominated to be Postmaster at
Vicksburg In place of Pease. Hill IL a
mulatto, made au excellent Secretary
OF State and very respectable man of
color. Pease is carpet-bagger who
was lhIown out Of employment as a
school master in New jersey, and,
leaving a sorry reputation behind him,
came down to Mississippi aud took to
Mississippi negroes and they took to
him. He has been honored with high
positions, occupying by executive Op-
pointment for q season, q seat In the
United States Senate from Mississippi.
After he left the Senate Grant appOint-
ed him Postmaster at Vicksburg, some
two years ago. There is q sort OF
fitness In this thing, that rather sorry
white man who had risen by the sup
port of negroes should now step down
and out 10 make room for rather re-
spectacle gentleman OF COLOR Merid.

Special correspondent of the Pioneer Press.

BISMARCK, d. T., O1c. 6.--The brief tcle
graphic announcement in the Pioneer
Press of Senator Spencer's opinion OF
Judge Bennett, the Republican candidate
for delegate, will stir up the Bennett men
and bring Spencer to the front IN way
that he may delspise. Spencer is coming
to Dakota to live, and his expressions have
a local interest The Interview complete
is as follows:
"What do you think, senator, of Judge
Bennett, the Republican candidate to con-
gress?"
"He is corrupt, dishonest, pharlsee
and fraud"
"Then you can't support him''
"No sir l could not"
"Whats the use in electing Republl'
can, anyhow"
"There is no earthly use in elelecting a
Republican. The next congress, house
and senate both, will be two-thlrds Demo
cratic, and Republican delegate could
have no weight or influence IN shaplr
the legislation that Dakota might need or
want.
What do you suppose will be the the up.
sho. Of such Democratic triumph as
you predict.
"I believe in December, 1879, the Dem
ocrats of the senate will elect Democrat
president pro tenn. Then the house and
senate, Jointly, will declare that Hayes was
never elected President and refuse to rec,
ognize him. Then the president OF the
Senate pro tenn will be sworn in as presl
dent, and congress will act with him, lg;
noring Hayes and Wheeler. They WI
Justify their course by citing the Evars's
letter of instruction to the visiting states
men of Loisiara. Next will follow con.
usion COMPOUNDED, and war that last III
| wears. The mistake that the present sen
ate made was in confirming the present
acbinet. 1t should have insisted on sur
rounding the president by Republicans
of national reputation, and thereby nave
avoided the evil consels that have prevail
ed."
