The Cheyenne Captives-Lieut. Clark's Ex-
pedition-The Indians on the Yellow
stone.
Among the late arrivals at the Merchants
is Capt. VIM. D. O'Toole, post trader at Fort
Keogh. He is here on business connected
with his large interests up in the Yellow
stone country. Capt. O'Toole brings the
news of the arrival of Lieut.. Philo Clark,
Second cavalry, at Fort Keogh, with the
Cheyenne captives, an account of which ap-
peared in the telegrapbic news of the GLOBE
at the time of the fight and
capture. Lieut.. Clark's command was
fully as successful as first reported.
The hostile Cheyennes we're disastrousuly
defeated, losing large number in killed,
also many ponies and suffered wholesale
capture at the hands of the gallant officer
and his command. Lieut.. Clark has thus
added other laurels to those already becom
ingly worn. Capt. O'Toole supplements the

THE TERMINAL POINT.

The Northern Pacific Takes Legal Meas
ures to Establish Its Eastern Terminus at
St. Paul.
Yesterday Deputy Sheriff Harrison served
over fifty-two summons upon various prop
erty owners in Kittson's addition. The
service was made at the instance of the
Northern Pacific railroad company, which,
having made an application to take, appro-
pirate, ETC., certain lots in the addition, give
notice accordingly to all interested parties,
80 that they can appear and show cause why
their property shouldn't be condemned. The
condemnation is sought for the purposes of
constructing machine shops, depots, spur
and side tracks, ETC., to enable the road to
transact its business at this terminus. No
tice is given that the application for such
condemnation will be given on the 7th day
of June before the district court. The prop
erty sought to be condemned embraces over
seventy lots in blocks ranging from 36 to 80.
Among some of the parties served with this
notice are Col. John s. Prince, DR.. Jacob 81.
Stewart, John B. Sanborn, William Lindeke,
Second National bank, and other notable
citizens and corporations. This is the con-
summation of the long proposed scheme of
the company to make St. Paul the eastern

in question, for we suppose he knows more
about it than we.
Mr.. Bragg's amendment proposed to cut
off all war claims, and to forbid their allow
ance, if not already presented and acted
upon. It seems to us that after the lapse of
fourteen years such step is necessary.
Every person who has a just claim against
the government has had ample time to pre-
sent it, and if he has failed to do SO he ought
to be barred by statute of limitations. If
the Republicans continue to keep the doors
open, however, there will be no end to the
submission of these claims. They will come
in till the end of this generation and the next,
and the treasury will be subjected to con-
tinual drain. It is time that they were
checked. To avoid injustice it might be
proper to allow six months or year for the
presentation of claims, and then to close the
door permanently against them. If,
through the defeat of this measure, the
country is saddled with heavy obligations, it
will be the fault of the Republican party and
of Mr.. Garfield, the Republican leader.

IT is alleged bya Washington correspond
ent that the statement that Grant would
positively decline the Presidential nomina-
ton was inspired by John Sherman, who is
alarmed at the popularity of Grant in the
Republican party. Perhaps the allegation
is true, for the Sherman family have long
been of the opinion that they were destined
to reign, and John got the Presidential bee
in his bonnet when he found that he could
place Hayes in the chair by the exercise OF
little slight-of- hand. But he will find that
the people will see through his tricks, and
they will avail him nothing.

From above statement It appears that the
book value of first series is SAILS, and the es-
timated time of expiration 100 months. The
cash value is 1898 for $3.50 paid in, showing
net profit of 70 cents per share for the last six
and cash value $4.90 for $3.50 paid in, showing
a profit of % cents for the last six months.
The book value of third series is 1896 and cash
value $l.54 for $1.5O paid in, profit of cents

Real estate loans have been made on 448
shares of the first series, leaving 643 shares un-
redeemed; on second series $50 shares, leaving
!, 48l shares unredeemed; on third series, 223
shares, leaving 400 shares unredeemed.
At the last annual meeting it was resolved to
issue semi-annual series in place of annual, and
the third series of 623 shares is the first issued
under this resolution. The second semi-annual
series for the current year will be issued this
evening.
The board of directors found it necessary to
order the purchase of a fire proof safe to be

chase, which committee discharged their duties
to the satisfaction of the board.
The improved demand f"r real estate from

bly, affect the premiums for loans in the diff

Gel the very satisfactory result of the last half

MINNESOTA CONSTRUCTION co.
An Important Decision Rendered by Judge

An Important Decision Rendered by Judge
Brill.
decision was briefly noted yesterday
which was granted by Judge Brill, in the
case of E. A. G. Hatch vs.. The Minnesota
Railway Construction company. The de-
cision is extremely voluminous, and after
adverting to the almost interminable itiga-
ton involved in the case, says: That a
statement of the account between the con-
action, should be made, and the
profits of building and equipping
said railroad from St. Paul to Winona de-
termined, save in so far as the same may be
effected by the result of the action, by the
city of Winona against said company. The
decision says that the company has remain
ing in its hands $448, 725.O6. The said sum
of $448, 1864 6 and the proceeds of the prop
erty received by said company,
and undisposed of, to-wit: the $4,000
bonds of the village of Reads, the $22,5OO of
the Hastings bonds, the common stock of
the St. Paul & Chicago railroad company,
and the bond for $3, DOC, 900 secured by the
mortgage or trust deed upon the lands, with
the said lands represented by said stock, less
any sum to be deducted as aforesaid, on
account of the said action of
the city of Winona against the Construction
company, constitute the profits in which
said assignees of the contract of Henry M.
Rice are entitled to share. It is not nee
essary that all distribution of property be
deferred until the final disposition of said
action, last aforesaid. But provision being
made for the protection of the Con-
struction company, division of the
said profits may be made among the parties
according 10 their respective rights. The
Construction company is entitled to the nine
teenth.twentieth part of the said sum now in
its hands. The other parties to this action
are entitled to one twentieth part of the said
sum, that is to say, they are entitled to the
snm If 1922, 436.25. From this is to be taken
said $4,000 and interest paid to Edmund
Rice, as before stated, being the sum of $11,
1O3.75, leaving to be paid to saiG
parties by said company, the sum of $11..
332.45, of which plaintiff is entitled to thu
one-twelfth part, to-wit: $944.37, and sale
Anna M. Rice to the nine-twelfth part
$8,499.33; said Susan l.. Thompson, Lena B
Clark, Katie Ashton, Carrie J. Barnum
Susie Thompson and Ella F. Thompson
each to the one-thirty -sixth part, to-wit
$314.79 each. Judge Brill also orders that
receiver should be appointed of the prop
erty undisposed of as aforesai,
to sell the same, and after retaining in hi
hands an amount to be fixed by the court
sufficient to cover any liability of the parties
in respect to the action of the city of Wi
mona against the Construction company, t.
abide the result of the action, to make dis
tribution of the proceeds hereto in the pre-
portion aforesaid.

SOUTHERN VAR CLAIMS.

MIR. Bragg's proposition to abolish the
Southern claims commission was defeated in
the House on Tuesday, mainly through the
confreres. When we call to recollection the
fact that during the last two national cam
oaigns the chief accusation against the
Democratic party consisted in the charge
that they would, if restored to power, pay
the rebel war claims, some of the utterances
of Mr.. Garfield, the Republican leader, will
sound oddly enough. In defending the COM
naission-which long ago finished its legiti-
mate business-he said that 80 per cent. of
all claims presented before the Southern
court of claims, go through without needing
any proof of loyalty on the part of the
claimant because it had been decided that
the executive pardon removed the distinc-
ton of loyalty. The proposition, there
fore, was abollshing substantially the
distinction that had hitherto been
made in that respect that claims arising out
of the war should not be paid except to per-
sons who have been loyal to the government
during the war. This admission is an i'm
portant one. It is an admission that the
court OF claims, a strictly partisan tribunal,
would pay all, or nearly all, claims presented
to it, whether the claimants had been loyal
or disloyal on the mere technically that an
executive pardon had abolished the distino-
ton between loyalty and disloyalty. When
the judges of this court we're selected, they
we're obliged to give the most conclusive
proofs of loyalty to the Republican party,
and to pledge themselves to abide by the
constitution and laws of the United States,
more especially that section which prohibits
the payment of rebel claims. According to
Mr.. Garfield they are now ready to violate
that obligation, and hence there is need of
commission that shall act as check upon
them. We should be sorry to express such
an opinion of any regularly constituted
court, but feel compelled to accept Mr.. Gar
fields estimate of the character Of the one

These bills aggregate $l37.50. If that ad-

EIGHTEENTH INFANTRY SUTLER.

How the Longest Pole Knocked Down the |
Persimmon--The Others Wanted 1t, But /
We're Too Short In the Reach.
With the advent of the Eighteenth infantry |
into this department., and even anticipating
it, there occurred little speculative venture
and even 1aesse which is worthy of mention.
Given, the fact of the approach of the
Eighteenth regiment; given, the location of
its station; given the fact that this post
was to be built on an appropriation of
100000, with numerous quarter
masters employees, and it can be
readily reckoned that the sutlership of full
garrisoned fort would be a very handsome
plum of bonanza proportions for some en-
terprising civilian. The appointment to such
a lucrative place is made by the secretary of
war, unless sold la Belknap, but most gen.
orally on the recommendation of the officers
stationed at the garrison. There were any
number who were anxious "to rob" soldiers
at Fort Assinaboine, the new Eighteenth in
fantry post. But the regiment being new to
this department we're not acquainted with
and how to get s'the recommend"
was the question. just here the
ti,aesse came in. Among those wish
ing to secure the remunerative
position of post trader was A. 81. Wilder.
He endeavored to take time by the forelock,
but didn't get good grip, as the sequel will
show. He dispatched an emissary all the
| way to Atlanta to get acquainted with the
| boys, set 'em up and otherwise to ingratiate
| himself. Mr.. Broadwater, of Montana, went
| on his mission and did the urbane
throughout the tedious ride. There were
others who waylaid the regiment and were
lavish both in opportunities and attentions.
So much so that one of the officers of the
regiment, when introduced to a citizen here,
smilingly remarked:
care you an applicant for the sutlership,
Mr.. Smith,
| "No, sir.''
s'Well, sir, by the saddle in which John
Pope carried his headquarters, permit me to
grasp your hand. You are the first man
whom have met that has given that an
| swer.''
They clasped.
In the meantime, while all this figuring
was going on, DR.. Burleigh, of Dakota, ar
rived in the city. There we're suspicious
whisperings around the circle of folks who
were lingering for the sutlership plum. The
doctor was we'll known to be largely inter
ested out in the Missouri and Yellowstone
| region, ana tney reared ne mlgnC lnteres'
himself little too much in this new bust
ness. Their fears we're not groundless, fol
when the regiment got here, the doctor
seemed to embrace the whole crowd mos
heartily as long acquaintance. Then too, i,
leaked out that DR.. Burleigh was the mar
who had gotten tenacious grip on Ole
Times forelock. He had written to old &C
quaintances in the regiment, gotten "th'
recommend" and has now in readiness q

The trouble is not because the GLOBE has
done anything improper in public printing,
but being the only morning st. Paul paper it
crowds the Minneapolis morning affair which
is nominally published in this city. The
GLOBE pleads guilty to being St. Paul
paper through and through, and stands
ready to receive the punishment which the
people of St. Paul may desire to inhict for
such temerity. The rapid increase of names
on our subscription books and the flow of
advertisements to our columns testify that the
citizens propose to make this punishment
severe. We shall endeavor to bear it with
equanimity.

Thus far it may be considered that the
leading Presidential candidates for 1880 are
about on a par as far as physical infrmities
go. According to Republican Journals
Tilden is paralytic, and cannot possibly sur
vive canvass year Lence. AS an offset it
is asserted, upon good Democratic authority,
that Grant is threatened with insanity, and
that the excitement of political campaign
would dethrone what little reason he has
left. While the GLOBE believes that both
stories are very far fetched, it is of the
opinion that "kangaroo tickets' would moi
be out of place in the pending contest.
