The rapid completion of the Chi
cago & Northwestern Railroad to-
ward Fort Pierre, on the Missouri
river, makes this route altogether
the shortest and best to the Black
Hills. Capt. Russell Blakely, Of St.
Paul, says the Winona Republican,
has recently returned from Chicago,
having completed arrangements for
removing all Of his stage stock and
stage line property now used in the
Fort Lincoln Black Hills route to
the new route from Fort Pierre.
This route is. about fifty miles short
er than the old one by way of Bis
mark, and will make the Chicago &
Northwestern and the Winona & St.
Peter roads the shortest route from
the East to the Black Hills.

In answer to correspondent, the
St. Paul Pioncer-Press says that the
seeds of the box elder ripen in the
early part of September, say from
the lst to the Goth, and may be
planted then, in rows the same as
peas, though they will not generally
sprout before spring. The ash
ripens it's seeds in the fall and should
be gathered after the first hard frost

Major Strait.
from Chicago Inter Ocean.

From Chicago Inter Ocean.
The Republican newspapers of the
Second Minnesota District are dis
cussing the Congressional record of
Major II. 3. Strait, who represented
the district in the !Forty-third, Forty
fourth, and Forty-ffth Congresses,
and who is the nominee Of the Re
publicans this year. The fact has
been developed, it would seem, to
the satisfaction of all, that his ser
vices there were OF very practical
and useful nature, not only to his
own State, but to the whole Western
country. On the credit side of this
account may be put the following
bills, which he introduced, aud
which have become laws: 70 eli
courage the growth Of timber on
Western prairies; for the relief Of
settlers on railroad land; allowing
settlers to take 100 acres of land
within railroad limits; to extend the
time of payments to settlers on gov
crnment lands: for the relief of per-
sons whose crops were destroyed by
grasshoppers; to provide for the
erection of government telegraph
lines in Montana and Dakota, and
some other measures Of like kind.
All this is legislation of very prac-
teal nature, and Straits services as
a Congressman are of the kind, evil
IDENTIFY, of which the growing West
stands always in need.

The floor of the Chicago convention
presented a most singular spectacle near
midnight on Friday last. The report of
the committee on credentials was under
discussion. ard one of the three Grant
bosses - Logan, of Illinois, was howl
ing himself hoarse against the decision of
the committee excluding eighteen Grant
delegates from that State, being two
from each ofnineC Congressional districts,
and supplying theirplaces with eighteen
Blaine men. Logan loudly protested
against 1.-THE deep damnation of their
taking off, = and while denOuncing the
Blaine men as retailers of the slang and
slander of the slums of Chicago, was
met with storm of Kisses and yelIs by
the Blaine crowd in the packed CALLER
at last restored. he in a broken voice
piteOusly exclaimed IF you can beat
the old soldier. do it." '.Don t beat the
old soldier by tricks,'' he continued {;
don't rob the old soldier that led yoW
armies to victory by stealing his votes. -
Logan said all this of the "tTreat Silent
Man" who at first was to be nominated
only in case Of a unanimous demand,
not merely by the convention, but by the
people. He was the only man in the
Republic who could save the country
and its institutions despite the aggres-
siye and dangerous strides Of the still
reJeliious South te get control of the
government; and now the Ioud-mouthed
Logan utters plaintive appeal against
I ruthlessiy shattering his fond idol to
pieces. twas not hard, at midnight on
Friday, for one who looked at the scene
to distinguish the man in whose behalf
. Logan was soTrowfulIy appealing from
I George Washington without the use OF
spectacIes. ''Give the old man a chance
don't strike him foul blow" Oh

WHAT Republican paper in this State
has not, at some time or other, fiercely
denounced the Democracy of Delaware
for maintaining the whipping-pOst and
pillOry as a mode of Furnishing the per-
petrators of certain crimes and m,sde-
meanors q? In his bill of indictment
against the Democratic party submitted
TO the Chicago convention by the PuTi-
tanical Hoar, President of that body of
sainted Republicans, he specifically
charges that in Delaware the Democrat
ic party CLOCKS with complacency on
the whipping-post. Three days after
Hoar had thus unbOsomed himself the
Grand Jury of the Republican city Of
Philadelphia, the fair inference being
that majority of ITS members were 10y
al Republicans, came into Judge Bid
dies court with a presentment in which
they recommend the enactment of law
by our Legislature (which would allow
a mode of punishment, subject to the
will of the Judges, to criminals for a
second and subsequent offence, similar
to that nor an c0gle IN the State Of DelG-
rare, as the best mode of overcoming
the present evil of overcrowded prisons. .
1t is true that Judge Biddle did not, in
the few remarks he made, agree with
the Grand Jury in the views il had ex-
pressed and the conclusion at which it
had arrived, but the presentment estab-
fishes the fact that so intelligent tTi-
bunal as the Grand Jury of the second
city in the country is presumed to be
has arrived at the deliberate conclusion,
after mature reflection, that after all
there may be some virtue in the whip
ping-post as punishment for certain
class of offenders. In view of the 'cOm-
placercy'' with which this Grand Jury
in the loyal city of Philadelphia looks
upon setting up the Delaware whipping
post, new and unexpected field is open
cd up for Hoar's denunciation of what
he regards as exclusively a Democratic
institution.

HAVING on a previous occasion dis
eussed the several propositions to be
submitted to the Democrats of this
county at the approaching delegate cleo
tion, we sneed only urge them at this
time to turn out and give effect to their
convictions on these important ques-
tions. There is certainly a need for
some change in the present method of
selecting delegates to our county con-
ventions, and we hope that all Will avail
themselves of the present opportunity to
vote for the system which to them
seems best.

BLANCHE X. BRUCE, the coIored L.

whose nomination at Chicago for the
Vice Presidency strong and vigorous
effort was made by some Of the leading
colored men of the country, was put in
nomination before the convention and
received the beggarly amount of votes
i'm total of 75G. The collapse of this

scales from the eyes Of ''the man and

will continue to vote the Radical ticket

ALTHOUGH there was no necessity for
imparting the information, nevertheless
when eX-Congressmau Elliott, who was
a colorad delegate to Chicago from South
Carolina, seconded the nomination of
john Sherman, he took occasion to in
form his Republican brethren of the con-
vention that they need not expect to re-
ceive the vote of a single Southern State
for their candidate, no matter who he
might be. No sensible Republican
doubts the truth Of EIliott's statement,
and being one OF the most intelligent
colorad men in the South, the Republi-
cans may as well abandon all hope of
any aid for their candidate from that
quarter

THE Republican National Convention

resulted as follows Grant, 3O4; Blaine

that Grant lacked - of that number,

James y. Garfield, of Ohio, received one
vote on the third ballot, t,ro on the sixth
and one on the thirteenth. On Tuesday,
after the convention met, eight addition
al ballots were taken, the thirty-ffJh
resulting pretty much as the first except
that Garfield had Scccutecn. On the
thirty sixth and last ballot the vote was:

Garfield having received 20 more votes
than were necessary to a choice, was de-

A STRANGE STORY is related by lady

day she went into a store to purchase a
pair of gloves. She tried on one or two
pairs before becoming satisfied. \ few
days afterwards she missed a valuable
gold ring from her finger. Search was
made for It without success, and it was
finally given up as irrecoverablv lost.
At the expiration of nearly a year she
went into the same store again on the
same errand as before. IE the finger of
the first pair she tried on she found her
long-lost ring, where she left it in draw

II cannot be denied that Coukling,
who was the admitted leader of the
Grant forces at the Chicago convention,
although engaged in an infamous under
taking in which he most siguaiIy and
deservedly failed, displayed very supe-
rior generalship in his entire manage
ment Of the struggle. No other man,
we think. could have held jnc Grant
column together so long and so success
fully. 1t remained firm and uubrUkcn
to the very last, and when Grant went
down to defeat on the thirty-sixth bal
lot, the same third-term phalanx, three
hundred strong, that had entered into
theiight at the start, was there solid and
compact, though pOwerless, with Conk-
ling, immovable and defiant, at its head
