The bill introduced by Mr.. Barsness,
entitled "a Bill to define and establish the
boundry lines OF Grant and Big Stone Coun-
ties" calls for the following changes in
the boundary lines of said counties: It
takes the two south tiers of townships
from Traverse County and adds them to
Big Stone; the remaining portion of Trav.
erse being attached to Grant. The pass
age of the bill will enlarge both Grant and
Big Stone and abolish Traverse County.
1t is rumored that there is great amount
of lobbying being done by the friends and
opponents of the bill, and it is doubtful q:
to its final disposition. We hope some
measures will be enacted this session tina
will prove satisfactory to the majority, fo
it would be an injury to both Stevens an.

the claims Of their leader pertnaciously.
while distinguished Democrats in other States

yielded TO the Barnburners. turned the cold
shoulder upon Dickinson. and offered the State
Department to Dix. which he promptly ac-
cepted. But Southern politicians protested so
vehementy against the selection that Pierce
withdrew the offer. thus leaving Gen. Dix in a

Coll"etorship Of the port. made Gen. Dix Sub

MONTREAL. April 2G.--Things over here

aid. upon signifying his intention 20 send del
egatlon to England to combat tho views OF the
Marquis Of Lorne with regard TO the Lieut. Gov.
Letellier affair before the British Government
succeeded in obtaining n suspense OF the ex-
element then prevailing to await the action.
Sir John did Immediately despatch the Hon. II.
l.. Langevin. Postmaster General Of the Domn-
ion in Sir Johns Cabinet. and the Hon. J. J. G.
Abbott OF Montreal. both eminent lawyers. to
England on this mission. and tranquility
seemed Mt least partially restored. Matters
went on well enough for u week or so whom UNI
easiness set in again. The stand taken by the
London Times against the Marquis OF Lorne
served to encourage the public mind in asserting
its rights to press its claims the more and more
vigorously. Sir John himself now began TO DO
suspected Of playing double part between the
people and the Governor General. But this. |
think, is unlikely and unfounded. for Sir John
would have no object in doing such n thing.
To-day there seems to be n now sensation.
Licut.-Gov. Letellier. about whose dismissal
from Office for tampering with the constitu-

the only thing Mr. Jolly has To stand upon both

Such II the situation.
There are grave fears here that there are court
intrigues on foot between the Marquis Of Lorne
and Lord Beaconstield and Queen Victoria in
relation to this affair That is. that they will
either order the Marquis 10 accept Sir John A.

The Man dubbed by Williams.

To THE EDITOR OF The SUN-Sn ask
II tho public think the evidence was in favor OF

Rowell was on the track ut that time and not in

Business prospects in the Dominion are
yet gloomy The number Of failures in Canada
during the quarter ending March 81, was G34,
with liabilities of l1.G4sG97 against 555 fail
ures. with liabilities Of 80 100 929, in tho cor
responding period in 1878. and 572 failures,
with liabilities Of s7,576.5l1. in the correspond
ing quarter Of 1871 These figures are not con-
sidered encouraging. especially in view Of the
fact that in the United States there has been a
decrease Of twenty-five per cent. in the number
OF failures. and Of nearly one hundred per
cent in liabilities, as compared with the first
quarter OF last year. The Canadians are less
enthusiastically loyal than they were when the

the use OF the pistol by constant practice,
and was always ready to repel an attack.
The same ground was taken by HENRY
WILSON soon after he first went to Wash
ington as a Senator from Massachusetts,
He declared, openly, that while no would
not fight duel he would hold himself pre-
pared to resist, with arms, any violent at
tack upon himself. About the time Of tho
assault upon CHARLES SUMNER by PRESTON
BROOKS of South Carolina, Col. KETTT n Rep
resentative from the same State, uttered
threats OF violence against Mr.. WILSON. On
the evening OF the same day these threats
camo to the Senator's ears, he walked one
OF the halls Mt Wizards Hotel, long time,
passing directly In front Of Col. KEITT, and
often brushing against him, anticipating
and not shrinking from n personal encoun-
ter. Col. KEIrT, who was n man Of generous
impulses, was afterward killed in the Con-
federate army.
The affair between Col. LOWE and Senator
LOGAN does not seem likely, from present
appearances, TO result in the splitting of
blood, but there Is n marked tendency Of
late to revive duellng, and this Is likely
to continue, until some prominent man
is killed according to the code. Then may
be expected such an outburst Of popu-
lar Indignation against the barbarous GUS
tom ms followed the killing OF ALEXANDER
HAMILTON by AARON BURR, and the killing
Of JONATHAN CILLEY OF Maine by WILLIAM

Mr.. Hayes and Mr.. -Sherman's
Chances.

II Mr.. HAYES, occupying the Office OF
President, goes to work in earnest to help
Mr.. JOHN SHERMAN TO the nomination Of
the Republican party as Mr.. HAYEss sue
cessor, he can accomplish good deal.
There are very strong reasons why Mr..
HAYES should prefer Mr.. SHERMAN TO any
ono else. SHERMAN was among the earliest
and stanchest Of his supporters. without
SHERMAN, HAYES could never have got into
the White House.
Mr.. HAYES himself stands pledged not TO
be a candidate Mt this next election. The
national approval Of an administration by a
second election, which has been accorded to
so many Presidents, is quite precludcd in
his case, TO say nothing about the slimncss
of his chances If he were to run. Such APP
prevail, however, would be substantially
given by the election of his Secretary of the
Treasury.
In his own department Mr.. SHERMAN can
do n good deal for himself. Indeed, so far as
political bargaining goes, we presume that
by the mere patronage OF the Treasury De-
partment Mr. SHERMAN could secure pledges
from a large majority OF the Southern dele
gates, and considerable support from
other sections OF the country. Mr.. HAYES,
II he controls his own Administration, could
also do much 10 add to SHERMAN strength,
by obtaining for him the support of the
other departments.
The question would still remain, How
many of the pledged delegates would stick
TO SHERMAN, in the Convention, against the
strong manifestation OF Republican feeling
in favor Of Gen GRANT?

ARTHUR c. JENNGNGss merry round OF ex-

the cost by eight years Of Imprisonment. JEN-
NINGs was the confidential bookkecpor and
cashier OF Church street wool broker. The
employer lived frugaly, the cashier upon the
fat Of the land. The cashier stole the employers
profits from the busncss-some sixty thousand
dollars. Arraigned for his offence all JENNINGS
could plead was that he took tho money to ap-
peaso desire to entertain his friends in style.
Cases like JENNINGs's are not uncommon. Bank

houses, clerks, messengers and persons who
are intrusted with money figure largely in tho
