interview with SOuthworth, which
has made the most decided sensa-

He says that in 1876 the Repub-

with sewing machine warrants,
and that the Democratic majority
in the city ought to have been

understood by all the Republican
officials, and it was done because
they thought the end justified the
means, aud they wanted to keep
Louisiana in their hands.
Judge SOuthwOrth makes the
following statement:

exactly how many were issued,
and how many were executed.

Fort Pierre. Dec. 6.-The Ice bridge /,
now considered safe. A big herd Of cas.l,
was crossed today by John Rsbadan, fol
his stock ranch near Fort Meade.
Pierre has been crowded for the past few
days with farmers teams, selling pork
butter, eggs etc. Pork sold readily at {
cents, butter 20 cents, eggs 20 cents. Every
one laid in good supply, particularly o
the fret mentioned article.
Witchers' train and Dick Matheson's train
loaded this week and are on their way ia
the Hills on their last trip for the season.
Whitney's big train is now loading. The
warehouses will soon be empty and lively
times at Pierre will be a thing Of the past,
at least, until spring opens.
Venison is very plenty in Pierre at pres
ent. One old Indian brought in twelve
deer at one time, the result Of s three DAYS
hunt. Quite . number Of our young men
are out trapping wolves this winter the
pelss teirg worth IS cents cash. Game Of fall
kinds seems to be in great abundance. Our
Postmaster G. w. Poussin, goes out nearly
every morning aud brings in from ten 10
twelve prairie chickens before breakfast.
He is considered one of the best marksman
in the country.
The cussed Indians are down here again
making trouble for the wood choppers. 1t
is expected that they will manage to have
them all driven out Of the country again
unless they can get big stumpage or nearly
the full cash value Of the wood, that is
chopped.
We are well provided with schools
this winter. Miss Addie West and Miss
Ida Bowers each have a good school with
from fifteen to twenty-five scholars. They
are both very excellent teachers. The
schools are select; they charge $500 tuition
per scholar.
We have also organized a Sunday school.
The children meet every Sabbath at half
past 2 o'clock at Miss Bowers school house
to study the word of God, and sing some of
Moody and Sankey's sweet songs. They
pass an hour away very pleasantly and
very proftably.
Santa Claus has heard of "Fort Pierre
and has announced his intention of making
US a visit. The ladies are making prepare.
tions to receive him in good style. A suit.
able building has been secured, and will be
nicely trimmed with evergreens and there
will be a nice large tree waiting for Santa
Claus to load down with presents for the
good children of Pierre and the indications
are that they will not be disappointed.
The surveyors, Mr.. Irish and his out 6t
are at Fort George in camp. We have seen
nothing Of them yet. They Will probably be
up to the Christmas tree if they hear of it.

Special Correspondence.
Fort Randall, D. T., Dec. s, 1S79.-About
three inches of SNOW fell yesterday and last
night. The snow vas not accompanied
with much wind, which reminded us of an
eastern snow storm.
Corporal Mcdonald and private O'Doud
of Fort Brule have been at Randall for four
or five days. We were glad to make their
acquaintance, and found them to be very
nice young men. The boys of Brule are
making great arrangements for a good time
on the night Of December Goth. We are
under obligations to O'Doud, for an invita-
ton to attend, and shall be pleased to 20,
provided we can get a pass and conveyance.
Thanksgiving night was celebrated here
with a big "hop" given by the boys of the
garrison for the benefit Of McGiddigan, OF
Co. CA" who got his discharge. The dance
was we'll attended. Music was furnished
by Professor Murth's band which, was good.
as it always is.
Warren, of &c" company, got his dis
chargs through disability and left for Texas
last week. He was a good man, as well as
a good soldier, and we were all sorry to
have him leave US.
George Evans, foreman Of the carpenter
shop, leaves this evening, on a four months
furlough, for the cold country" We wish
him a safe trip and a good visit.
Smith of company "E" and several
others went out hunting yesterday, and
when the ttorm came up they started for
the garrison OF double quick time. When
they got into the post they missed Smith
and as he did not make his appearance for
several hours the supposition was he had
got lost. The commanding officer ordered
that the church bell be rung and the cam
non fred until 'tattoo," which was done.
About "taps" Smith came in-said he
could not follow the sound of the cannon
but could tell by the sound of the bell
which way to come. 1t was a narrow es-
cape, as he certainly would have frozen 10
death. as the mercury stood 19o below zero
and he had no ovescoat on. AS ever,

The Sioux City Journal says that "De-
tective Liewellyn camo down from Ysnk-
ton yesterday in company with Hugh
Campbell. United States attorney for Dako.
t., and the two were closeted during the at
ternoon in tho DOE of the former at the
Depot hotel. Llewellyn was supposed to
have been sent up country to find testimony
against the numerous Indian agents removed
some time ago. and whose cases have been
dragging along In the courts of the territory
ever since" Detective Llewellyn did not
leave Yankton with Judge Campbell. He
left here some time ago, eastward bound,
and it Is probable that he switched off at
one of the stations below and took q turn
into the upper country, returning in time to
join Judge Campbell on his way to Sioux
City. Such are the mysterious ways of de-
tectives. The Indian department Is ennob-
ling itself by the employment of a skilled
detective to root out testimony against DR..
Livingston. after it has advertised to the
world for nearly two years that it is in pos
session Of positive proof of corruption on
his part At this late day the Indian de-
partmen. is trying to bolster up its lying
charges by these extraordinary means. Its
cases are growing weaker every day.
