A HOME INDUSTRY

The undersigned takes this occasion toreturn his thanks
to the people of Yankton particularly, and to his many
patronage which has been bestowed upon the late firm Of
DUDLEY & HAWLEY through the many years in which
that firm has carried on business in this city, and he now
desires to call the attention of these friends and that of
the people generally to the enlarged facilities, more extern
sive assortment and more commodious rooms, which the late
firm had provided and which he, as the successor of Dudley
& Hawley, now possesses.
In the line of the Hardware trade, and in the manufacture
of Tin, Copper and Sheet Iron Ware, he claims to have an es.
adjustment equal in all respects to anything in the north
west, occupying three grand rooms, each 25xlO0 feet in ex-
tent.
In the future, by constant application to business, he hopes
to see the Hardware trade of the region which is naturally trib-
utary to to this point, conferred here, and shall spare no effort to
make it for the interest Of the people within this region, to pr-
chase their Hardware, Tinware, Copper and Sheet Iron ware,
Stoves, and all other articles in this line from

TRANSFER OF COURT CASES.


WASHINGTON, May 20.--The business of the
morning hour was the bill to amend the laws
relating to the transfer of cases from State to
federal courts, and Mr.. Urner concluded his
argument against it. He said there was but

land, and that was the power of the govern
ment of the United States.
Mr.. Fry moved to lay the bill on the table.
The motion was defeated, yeas 9S, nays ll2.
The vote was strictly party one, with the ex-
ception of Conger, who voted in the negative
for the purpose of moving reconsideration.
OF the enbackers, Jones, Ladd and Ford
voted in the affirmative, and Lowe, Murch,
Stevenson, Weaver, De La Matyr and Gillette
in the negative.
The result of the vote on the motion to lay
on the table the motion to reconsider was that

FREEDAIAN'S BANK,


FACTS ELECTED BY BRUCE's COMMITTEE.
WASHINGTON, May 20-The committee ap-
pointed to investigate all matters pertaining to
the Freedman's Savings and Trust Co., met this
morning, every member present, Senator
Bruce presiding. Creswell, Leihold and Pur-
Wis, commissioners appointed under the act of
Congress to close up the affairs of the institu-
ton, made statement of their operations to
date, presenting a schedule showing the con-
dition of the company and making suggestions
as to the course that should be pursued III the
future. They said with reference to principal
items in the assests, viz: real estate and
notes, that the latter were in process of collec-
tion; but to the real estate they doubted
whether it would be possible to realize upon it at
present without suffering heavy loss They
stated that dividends of 81 per cent. had already
been paid, and that they hoped before long to
be able to pay another dividend of 20 per
cent, making SO per cent. in all. They urged
that means of enabling them to do this the
government purchase the Freedman's bank
building in Washington, greater part of which
is now rented for the use of the department of
Justice. Two drafts of bills were submitted
by the commissioners designed to transfer the
affairs of the company to the comptroller of
currency or such other officer of the govern
ment as Congress might direct. The commls-
sioners have heretofore asked to be relieved
from the duties imposed, and on submitting
these bills to-day reiterated that request.

A ST. LOUIS LOTTERY.
ISt. Louis Special. !

Roly on account of the Non-Poynent of a
Prize.
ISt. Louis Special.
The irrepressible Wakefield, whose con-
nection with the police board scandal, and
subsequent Indictment for perjury in con-
nection Herewith is still town talk, has again
got himself into trouble. Defeated in his
scheme to retain profitable control over
the Missouri L7ttery company, he few
days ago got possession of the charter of the
Academy of Music lottery, under which, some
time since, its owners were empowered to
run lottery in this State. The charter was
subsequently repealed by the Missouri leg
islature, but this made but little difference
to Wakefield, as, though he saw certain
prospect of litigation, he also saw that he
had, in the opinion of lawyer that the re-
peal of the charter was unconstitutional,
grounds for sufficient delay of the laws final
operation to allow him several months in
which to run his lottery. He accordingly
secured the cooperation of three Israelitish
brothers, Smit by name and pawnbrokers by
profession, organized the lottery,
and rented head Office on the
corner of Fourth street and Wash
ington aven1e. Preparations were soon
completed, and yesterday the sale of tickets
commenced. Quite number we're disposed
of, the late patrons of the defunct Missouri
lottery gladly invested in the new venture.
In fact, everything looked favorable until,
at few minutes after noon to-day, levee
hand named G. H. Price entered the office,
and presenting the orthodox ticket, demand
ed the $125 which it had evidently
drawn. There was no donbt that the
ticket was genuine, and that the man
had got it from one of teh authorized
agents of the lottery. But the head
Office had no record of the sale, and
declined to pay the prize. The Smits
and Wakefield did their best to
persuade the man that he
had been deceived, but he knew better, and
seeing that he was bent upon his rights,
| they ordered him from the office. He de-
clized to move without the money. They
persisted and row followed, in which
| Though the levee man was mighty and mus
cular) he was finally worsted, but not until
he had marked his four opponents, and had
broken up the Office furniture considerably.
The noise of the scufae caused considerable
commotion in the building, in which some
of the most respectable business men of the
| city have Offices and the result was that the
proprietor requested Wakefield and hia
Israelitish conferes to remove their establish.
ment instanter. They did SO, and it is not
yet known where the headquarters of the
new lottery will be located.

A SCRAP OF HISTORY
Why the Regular Army Did Not Interfere
in the Election of 1870.

Why the Regular Army Did Not Interfere
in the Election, of 1870.
From the Utica Observer
On the 7th of November, 1870, the city of
New York was more deeply excited than at
any other time in its recent history. It was
the day preceding the general election Of
that year. and orders had gone forth that the
metropolis should be invaded by federal
troops, the laws of the State ignored, and the
rights of the people placed at the mercy of
John I. Davenport and his reckless crowd of
supervisors and deputy marshals. In the
harbor lay two gunboats, furnished by the
notorious Robson, and threatening to open
fire on the business heart of the town.
The State was at perfect peace, and its
laws were respected and enforced. No man
could vote unless he had appeared in person
at the designated places at least ten days be-
fore and registered his name, answering un-
der oath the questions which were put in
regard to his residence and qualifications.
All that the Republicans had asked in the
way of increased stringency to the election
acts had been conceded by the Democratic
legislature. The inspectors and canvassers
had been fairly chosen from both parties,
under the direction of non-partisan police
commission. No officer of the State or city,
high or low, Republican or Democrat, had
asked for the interference of the federal
troops, but an army was there, under COM
mand of brigadier-general of regulars to
conduct an election.
Never before had such reckless attempt
been made to invade the invested rights of
the people, and it is safe to say that it will
never be made again. The promptness and
s-~1, IA
by Gov. Hoffman served as warning to
President Grant. The Governor repaired to
the city, and quietly but firmly announced
that if the federal troops appeared in the
streets on election day they would be met by
people at all hazards. This was no idle
for conflict, which seemed at that time in
evitable. How ample those preparations
were the following document, which is now
made public for the first time, will show:
NEW YORK, Nov. z, 1870.
Ny DEAR GOVERNOR: have the pleasure of
informing you that / feel confident of having
secured a supply of one hundred thousand ball
cartridges, and four hundred rounds of canis-
ter shot, with cartridges, for the artillery. God
grant that it may be not necessary to use them.
Yours very respectfully,
FRANKLIN TOWNSEND, Adjutant- General
To Gov. Hoffman.
Fortunately the threatened necessity did
not arise. Att last moment the federal
authorities took counsel of discretion, and
retreted. Not federal soldier was. seen in
the streets of New York on the election day
of 1870, and since that time no attempt has
been made to invade our State.
