The Legacy ofthe Confederacy.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore American says:
Some explanation is being made in regard
to the claim Of the United States to the
money in the Bank of England to the credit
of the late Confedcracy and the chanccs of
the Government Obtaining it. When Mr..
Bristow was Secretary of the Treasury he
sent one or two special agents over to Lon
uon to inquire into the matter but it does no
appear that ANYTHING ever came of their IL
lIors. Caleb Gushing gave an opinion tllal
whatever money or property was Iclt by the
Southern COnfc'lcracy belonged to the UI,i-
ted States, and recently certain party APP
piled to Secretary sherman for Il contract t.
secure it for certain percentage, The Sec
retary was rather dubious Of renewing the
claim. and the Solicitor of the Dcparti,. ent
opposed it, on the ground that to press the
claim would involve the United States to Il
certain extent Tor the Indebtedness of the
OttOn loan, and for that reason the Govern :
. Jnent had better nos undertake to claim the
money alleged TO be in the Bank of England.
'sfhis opinion, however. it is not believed,
dyill deter the Government from officially
making inquiry as to whether there is money
deposited in the Bank of England to the
credit OF the Confederacy. The Joint High
Commission in framing the Treaty of WASH
ington fully discussed the probable claims
of British subjects, and in this treaty, III
providing fer arbitration on the claims OF
British subjects. payment for slaves and the
so-calied cotton loan were excluded. If
there is, then, any sum in the bank it can be
claimed as the unincumbered property of
the United States. The amount has been
estimated as high as $40, 000,0 900, but i'll all
probability it is not at the outside more than
ten or eleven millions.

4 COOKING MAIN IN GEoRGIA.-The
great cooking main between Georgia and
Alabama, which began at Augusta, Georgia,

was won by Alabama. Seventeen battles
were fought for 5000 each fight and $4,000
the main. Alabama won ten and Geogia
seven battles. About $1,000 change hands
on the result.
This is even more revolving than the bru-

EXPORT OF BUTTER AND CHEESE The
Bureau of Statistics has prepared a paper
showing the export Of cheese from this
country in each year since 1900. The total
sum is l.2G2 $50, 81 pounds. The greatest
export in any year was in 1877, being l07,
364 SOC. This is double of the export in
1867, and that was. with one slight eXcep-
ton. the largest mp to that date. In 1862
the export was b 3Gl .IGS pounds double
what it ever had been before, and the in
crease since 1862 has been marvellous. There

FROM CROW CREEK.
An Employe Speaks Good Words In Behalf
of the Military Agent and
Temper Of the Indians.


Crow CREIK AGENCY
June 23d, 1878.
I will write you briefly how I found
things here. I landed here on Saturday,
18th inst, and found everything very quiet.
The investigation was still going on, the re-
suit Of which cannot state, for 1 entered
upon the duties Of my position at once, and
have had all 1 could do to attend to my
own business and get everything in my line
in good running shape. find Captain
Dougherty to be first-class man-one l
think that can be relied upon as trust
worthy, upright, thorough business man, full
ly competent to fill the position he occupies.
I come to these conclusions from my close
connection with him in the business of the
place-receiving all my orders direct from
him. There has been good deal of bust.
ness done here, and several changes made,
that are trying to a man in his situation
but he is fully equal to all emergencies, and
1 think the department made q wise selec.
tion in placing him in charge of this
agency.
Fort Thompson is a beautifully located
place, and is surrounded by asplendid coun-
try. The Indians are very friendly now,
and becoming quite industrious. Their
farms looks very we'll, and if stay here
two years, will turn out large force oi
good, hard-working farmers from this band
Of Indians.

THE DAKOTA SUPERINTENDENT.
With To-Day Ends tho Indian Office i,
the City of YaMISton.

With To-Day Ends tho Indian Office in
the City of Yanlkton.
The Office OF the Dakota Indian superin-
tendency will practically close its doors to-
night, though Mr.. Work will remain sew.
cral days as clerk in charge. Maj. w. j,
Pollock, the retiring superintendent, has
performed his work SO we'll and has made
such generally favorable impression
among all classes of people that his depar-
ture for another field Of labor will be re.
ceived with general regret. because it will
remove him from our city. Maj. Pollock
has been appointed special agent of the In
dian department and in that capacity will
travel from point to point in the Indian
country and will have no fixed headquar-
tcrs. His career as Indian superintendent
has been brief, but entirely satisfactory.
His purchases for the government have all
been in the interest of economy and all his
dealings stamp him as gentleman worthy
Of something better than he has received
at the hands Of the government:
He received last night telegram instruc-
ting him to proceed to Spotted Tail agency
relieve Maj Lee and take tenn.
porary charge of the Indians at that agency.
He will probably remain with these Indians
until after their removal to the mouth of
the Rosebud and until their agency build
ings are completed. We noticed that the
telegram containing these instructions was
addressed to NV. j. Pollock, inspector u
1t was probably clerical error, but we
wish it might occur to the department to
make him inspector, for he Is the man to
perform the duties of that office with profit
to the government and justice to the people
The department is just now agilated over
the contemplated transfer of the Indians to
army control, and we'll it may be. So long
as it places such cratic, unbalanced indi
vidusls as Hammond in responsible posi-
tions and permits good material like tha,
included in the make up of Msi. Pollock
to 60 to waste, it may exr:ct increasing and
decided opposition to the continuance o.
the present management. In the course ol
time the Indian commissioner will under
stand the point of this better than be now
does.

HANS oLEson
The coroners Jury Find That He Came 10 His
Death by Violence.
Olcson,s lllcxitimato Son Arrested on IN,
Charge OF Having Committed
the Murder.

The coroner's jury in the case Of Ham
Oleson, concluded the investigation las
night, and returned the following verdict:
TERElroRY OF DAKOTA, ss.
| Yankton County. s''
An inquisition holden at the late residence
of Hans Oleson, deceased, in Yanktor
county, Dakota Territory, aforesaid, on the
25th day of June, 1873, and adjourned te
Yankton, on the 9th and 2Sth days Of June
A. D. 1878, before DR.. D. Frank Etter, cor
oner, of the said county, upon the body O.
Hans Oleson, lying dead and buried neal
Peter Cumbersome residence, in said county
by the jurors whose names are hereto sub.
scribed., Said Jurors, upon their oaths, dc
say that said Hans Olc,on came to his death
on the evening of the 18th day Of June,
1873, or on the morning Of the 18th of June
1878, by means of cut with sharp instru.
ment inflicted upon his skull, in the hands
of person or persons unknown to them
and that said injury ives f.loniously inaict.
ed, and would recommend that the case be
further investigated by the district attorney.
In testimony whereof, the said jurors have
hereunto set their hands, on the 2Sth day OF
June, A. D. 1878.
NICHOLAS BACKUs,
CONRAD F. LANCE,
PETER HUBER
d. FRANK ETTER,
Coroner.
The evidence presented to the jury, and
the examination Of the body by medical ex-
perts, showed that Oleson came to his death
by wounds inflicted on his head, evidently
made with an axe, one Of the wounds at
least having been made with the edge of
the weapon.
Circumstances pointed strongly to Karl
Johan Oleson as the murderer of his father,
and accordingly warrant was issued, and
his morning he was arrested OH the charge
If murder, and committed to Jail. We un-
lerstand that he has secured Col. Moody to
lefend him. The preliminary examination
will take place on Tuesday or Wednesday
lext before Justice Roberts.
Hans Oleson, the murdered man, wa,sixty
Years old, and resided in Dakota nine years.
He was not married, and lived secluded
md lonesome life. About ten days prior to
lis death, Karl Johan Oleson arrived here
nd represented himself as the illegitimate
on of Hans Oleson. He went to Oleson's
,lace three days before the tragedy, and the
Id man recognized him and introduced him
ls his son.
On the night Of the tragedy young Oleson
lept in the room adjoining that occupied by
lis father, and his conduct on the morning
and since that time, was such as
o direct suspicion against him. We will
lot anticipate the evidence upon which the
prosecution relies. but merely remark that
he circumstances are very strongly against
he accu,ed.
Karl Johan Oleson came here direct from
Norway, where he was born and
ived until he came to this country, and
Vhere, he says, he was employed for time
N the police force. He is represented as a
hrewd and ordinarily intelligent man, and
8 about twenty.six years old.
