MR. EDITOR In your last BEE, ap- pears an article signed Justice" in re- ply to a previous article of mine in rela- tion to business transactions between Mr. Wells and MT. Wheeler of this place.
 Now, in order that Justice" may be done to disagreeing parties, the parts should be accurately ascertained and stated. Justice" your correspondent, evidently is not well advised of his facts, or else, has had bad luck in stating them correctly. He makes general statements
 and tells how others understood the mat ter. Now others have nothing to do with the matter, and l am of opinion, 1 that outsiders have caused all the differ ence there is between the parties, which | do not understand to be serious except, that MT. Wells does not like to have it
 printed abroad, and put in the newspa-
 pers that he has been guilty of any in
 justice, or unfair dealing. He has in | iured no one, deceived no one. He sim- | ply denies and refutes the unjust and un-
 called for assel tions against him. for
 they are mere assertions. There is not a
 particle of proof in the whole article Now Mr. Wells is able to back up his side
 of the case by absolute and legal proof
 It does not take lawyer to know, that
 when parties deliberately, reduce theil
 contracts to writing, that writing is the
 rule between them, and neither party iE allowed to make allegations by word ol
 mouth to dispute it. This is not only
 law, but 1t is common sense. Now tn.
 parties put their agreement in writing
 That should end this controversy be
 tween them. That the public may knov
 the truth" as we'll as the Justice" O } this matter, l give copy of it, as fol
 lows:
 This agreement made at Woodbury
 Connecticut, September 11th, 1878, be
 tween William J. Wells of said Wood } bury, and Charles J. Wheeler of New } town, Fairfield County Connecticut, wit nesseth, that the said William J.

An l the said William J. Wells further agree q and promises, if he shall fair ill an n respect to do as above specified, to pa @ to said Wheeler, his heirs, or assigns : five hundred dollars.

Col. Thompson Blames No One.

To the Editor of the Globe.
BISMARCK, D. T., Jan. Is, 1979.-In your
number 1854, of the 18th inst, in the column
headed "Reno's Racket and under the
sheading 'sIhe GLOBES Contribution find
the following surprising paragraph, to-wit:
The leader of the Custer opposition was, at
first, Col. VIM. Thompson. He left the regi-
ment. His mantle fell upon the shoulders of
Col. Fred. W. Benteen.''
Now. the truth is, I have ever been friend
and admirer of Gen. Custer, and have never
taken any part with any opposition to him.
have always regarded him as superior
man and splendid officer.
L think the same of Col. Benteen, and have
never taken any part in any differences that
may have existed between them.
do not believe that Col. Reno, or any of
the officers under him, were Towards" In
deed, have the best of reasons for knowing
they were all brave.
From all I know and have learned believe
that if an effort had been made to save Gus
ter's command, all who would have partici-
pated would have shared the same sad fate.
The terrible disaster was attributable
most probably, to an inadequate and under
estimate of the number of Indians they had
to contend with. It was well understood
here that all the young and we'll armed In
dams had left the reservations and had prob
ably gone to the hostile camp; but it is a
matter of grave doubt whether these facts
were ever properly communicated to the COM
mandant of the expedition.
cannot attach any blame, under the cir
cumstances as have learned them, to any
persons connected with the expedition.
Very respectfully, yours,

Special Telegram to the Globe.

st. Charles Times-Senator Hill, Editor.
The Pioneer Press of the 10th inst, in
an editorial summary Of Gov. Pillsbury's
message, makes use of the following language:
The admirable constitutional amendment
which empowers the Governor to veto any item
of an appropriation bill-adopted at his sug-
gestion-will enable him to put the brakes on
the recklessness Of the legislature
Now that puff will be considered admira-
bly, cool and cheeky in the face of the fact
that we, in the session of 1876, secured the
legislation necessary to bring before the
people the amendment mentioned, and
which was ratified by a large majority in the
fall of 1876. We were not aware, before,
that the amendment was secured by any
E'suggestion'' the Governor ever made, in the
sense in which the Pioneer Press uses the
word. Our attention was called to the
necessity of such an amendment
from the fact that in the session of
1876, Gov. Pillsbury, then member of the
Senate, and chairman of the finance COM
mittee, reported to the Senate the general
appropriation bill with all item of $25OOO,
! we think, for the State university, an item
which we, at the time, thought ought to have
come up in separate bill on its own merits,
but then it would have to run the gauntlet
of veto, with St. Paul man in the guber-
Material chair. So far as we remember, that
is the only way that the Governor suggested
this legislation, which has brought its rich
fruits since its adoption, to the tune of thou
sands of dollars saved to the people, under
the careful and judicious pruning exercised
by the hand of Gov. Pillsbury.

Correspondence of the Globe
RED WING, Jan. 7S.-Our religious people
here have been having something of sensa-
ton recently. Some time in September,
1877, man calling himself G. D. M. Allen
came to our town and entered the Office of
j. G. Mcclure, county attorney, as clerk.
Mr.. Mcclure thought he had struck second
Scion, and introduced him generally. Allen
had made hit. He soon Joined the Baptist
church, where he was a bright and shining
light among the brethren-not to mention
the sisters. The pastor found in him saint
CT thought so-ard he made a decided
impression.
firing of this locality, Allen soon made his
way to Zumbrota, where he hung out his
shingle as a lawyer. He obtained the conf
dence of everybody, thanks to the recon-
mendations he took from this place. Last
Sunday morning, however, he took train for
unknown parts, and it was soon ascertained
that he had taken with him some $4,000 of
other peoples money, besides bills for col
lection amounting to $500, and gold watch
which he had borrowed from good Baptist
brother. He left behind him many remem-
brances in the shape of unpaid bills, aud a
young lady at this place to whom he was en-
gagged to be married.
The affair has been surprise to church
circles here, our good Baptist pastor declar-
ing that he couldn't believe man who could
pray as Allen did would be guilty of such
conduct.

IS 1T FOUND?

A. 4. Stescart,s Body Restored to Judge
Hilton-1Irs. Stesc.,rt Quoted as 1I07cing
the State,nent-!S50sO 900 SAID to H0ve Been
Paid to the IhSeres Through Firm OF
Ne,v Torls La,ryers--No Questions asked.
New York Sun.
It is stated upon authority SO trustworthy
as to leave but little, if any, doubt of the en-
tire correctness of the report, that Mrs. A.
T. Stewart has said to at least two persons
"a gentleman and a lady-within the last
six days, that the bosiy Of her husband has
been recovered, that if had been delivered to
Judge Hilton, and that it has been placed
by him in secure va,lt, we'll guarded, there
to remain until the completion VI the crypt
in the Stewart Memorial Cathedral in Garden
City.
It has been stated, on equally trustworthy
authority, that Judge Hilton was approached
some weeks ago by the representative of a
well-known firm of lawyers in this city in
reference to the restoration of the body.
This, the lawyer said, could be effected upon
certain conditions that 100000 in
cash should be paid down when the body
was produced; second, that no questions
whatever should be asked further than was
necessary for the absolute Identification of
the body; third, that pledge of honor
should be given that no attempt should be
made to trace or to arrest the robbers.
Negotiations upon this basis were begun
and concluded ten days ago; $4,000,
in cash, instead of the 100000 first asked,
was paid. The Identification of the re-
mains was entirely satisfactory, and the body
was taken to it's present resting place.
Attempts were made yesterday afternoon
and evening to see Judge Hilton concerning
these statements, but without success. At
the store Judge Hilton said that it was i'm
possible for him to see the reporter, even for
a moment, and at his home, in the evening,
the same answer was returned.
Exactly where the body now is the Suns
informant was unable to say, but as to the
above facts the informant was positive that
Mrs. Stewart had herself given them in full
detail and with no reservation.

The Result of Commissioner WiUiamason,s
Ttsit to the Vest.
Washington Post.
Commissioner Williamson, of the general
land office, who, since his recent visit to the
Pacific coast has been detained at his home
yesterday. The trip of the commissioner
was an unofficial one, but during it he man
aged to make such observations in California,
Arizona, and Utah as to render the journey
of considerable service to him in the dis
charge of his official duties. One of the re
suits of the visit will be report upon
the subject and the preparation of bill
making changes in the existing laws, relative
to the survey and sale of public lands. The
reasons for the proposed change are numer-
GUS, but the principal one is that the laws
applicable to the lands in the Middle, West
ern, and Southern States are wholly inappli-
cable to the mountainous, arid, mineral,
grazing, and desert lands in the States and
territories west of the one hnndredth meri-
dian of west longitude. East of the line
indicated, crops grow without artificial irri-
cation, and can consequently be sold in
small divisions for farming by individuals.
West of that line all the conditions are
changed. Crops can only be grown by arti-
fetal irrigation, which can only be accom-
plished by organized effort and corporate
capital, hence the necessity for a law provid-
ing for the sale of desert lands in such guam
titles and under such conditions as will in
duce capitalists to invest their money in the
work of retaining them. It appears to
him unwise, If not useless, to hold lands for
disposal in tracts not exceeding 100 acres,
under settlement laws only, where settle
ment is impossible without irrigation and
where irrigation by the settler is impossible.

Stewards Body Recovered.

special Telegram to the Glohe1
New York, Jan. 19.-The Times is sure
Stewards body has been found, and gives
further evidence. It says at the time of the
recovery of A. L. Stewards body not more
than eight persons knew the fact. One of
these yesterday expressed himself willing to
say that within his certain knowledge the
remains had been given into the possession
of Judge Hilton. AS to details he was I'M
willing to say anything. There is authority
for stating that the remains passed into
Judge Hilton's hands either on Monday or
Tuesday of last week. Arrangements were
made for its reception in the event the body
proved to be that of the dead millionaire, GER
tain workmen being employed to make articles
which they did not even dream were to be
used in connection with the recovery. The
body was submitted to a council of ply
sicians and limited number of others for
Identification, and it was identified to Mr..
Hilton's full satisfaction. Mrs. Stewart, on
being Informed of the facts which led to the
belief of that gentleman that the body was
that of her husband latter making some per.
tinent inquiries which were satisfactorily an
swered, expressed her concurrence in the be-
lief that the body was that of her husband.
The council of Identification was held at
Mrs. Stewards house. The body was de-
| livered the same night. The settlement
with representatives of the thieves followed.
but the sum paid is not known.
