THE fact that the Presidential cleo
ton is not disputed by any one does not
make it less necessary that no doubtful
or harmful legislation upon the electo-
raj count should be adopted at this
time. To those who have forgotten
that the House voted, at the close of the
last session, to take up on the first day
of this session the Senates resolution
upon this subject, the discussion now
running in the House must have SEEM
ed abrupt. 1t is simply renewal of an
attempt which failed during the last
session-to force through an electoral
measure framed with view to tempo
rary situation. 1t was put in the form
of concurrent resolution instead of a
bill, so as to avoid a possible veto, and
were anxious to pass it then, because
they then believed it might be of service
to them this winter. The provision
that no return should be rejected with
out the consent of both houses was in
serted because they knew that this win
ter they would control both houses.
That was their object then. What it is
now is not so clear, but the objection
remains to any measure but a complete
and well-considered law-one that
makes some such statesmanlike provis-
Ion for deciding disputed cases as Mr.
Edmunds proposed, viz: a primary sub
mission of the question to the highest
Court of the State involved. 1t is true
that Mr.. Whitthorne tragically pledges
himself to see Gen. Garfield inaugurated
but Mr.. Whitthorne is not his party
The Republicans are justifihd in resist
ing the resolution for the sake both OF
the present and the future.-N. Y. Trib

The Forthcoming report of Hon. H. j..

Glass is made in Bellaire, Columbus,
Ravenna, Kent, GAINESVILLE, Steubenville,

DEACON RICHARD SMITH makes the
solemn utterance in the Cincinnati GaZ-

THE New Orleans Democrat has its
advices that if there is man to-day who

the election.

ABOUT the only present outlook for a
flood of alleged eloquence in the House
this winter, is that the unreformed
Greenbackers will unlimber their Jaws
again on their favorite proposition to
pay off the maturing bonds in green

VERY curiously, that clause of the
Georgia code which conflicts with the
United States statutes regarding the
counting of the electoral vote was en-
acted in 1868, to harmonic the State
law with the statutes of the Confedera-
cy, and successive Legislatures since the
end OF the war have never stricken it
from the books. 1t is clearly her own
fault if Georgia loses her vote for Presi-
dent and Vice President.

1t all depends upon how you view it
whether a teachers life seems pleasant
or otherwise. Josh Billings said:
Emmy man who has kept a. skool for
ten years ought to be made mager gin

his material days, and a hoss and waggir
tew do his goln around in.
And Dryden remarked:
Taught or untaught the Ounce is still the
same;
Yet still the wretched master bears the
blame.
While Whittier has said:
And when the world shall link your names
With gracious lives and manners fine,
The teacher shall assert her claims,
And proudly whisper, "These were mine!'
We may see the truth of the latter OBJ
servation in the eagerness with which
the old teachers came forward to say OF
Garfield. 81 taught him."

The new town plat Of Hubbard calls
for se~venty-fve acres of town site.
Three carloads Of men, teams and
tools leave the Milwaukee depot this
morning to assist Pat Cary with the
Milwaukee line south of Niobrara.
The transfer tracks are being put in
shape and cars can be crossed in a day
or two if necessary. There is now iron
enough crossed to keep the track
layers busy for a couple Of weeks.
Nystrom has returned to the city,
having finished his grading contract on
the Norfolk line. He reports the other
contractors will all be through this week
excepting the one having the big cut
near Norfolk.
The good weather il being improved
by the track-laycrs Of the Omaha line,
and it is expected the gangs from the
two ends will meet sometime week after
next. Surfacers are wanted and $50
per day is offered by the company.
Y. Rush has the contract for building
the foundation of the four-stall round
house at Covington and began work OH
the same yesterday. The job will oc-
cupy about a week, and with the foun-
dations Of other railroad buildings to
be build at Covington by MIR. Rush
will use up 10000 brick.
The ieisurelv movements oftheS imly
ed by Gen. MerrilPs Niobrara campaign
and the statement is made on good au-
thority that this road will be extended
forty three miles further this season
and rest at O'Neil City. The present
terminus Of the road is at Neigh, but
grading is being done beyond, and it is
0 the plan to push the track through
to O'Neil. The track-iayers will about
finish ironing the other branch to
Creighton this week and will then be
sent down to lay the iron oil the new
forty-three miles. BY this move tho
company hope to discourage any extern
sion of the Milwaukee road toward the
head of the Elkhorn.
A gentleman down from Niobtara says
that the Milwaukee company only eX-
pect TO build enough road this fall 10 oc-
cupy the valley of the Nerdigris, and SO
force the Sioux City and Pacific to come
in by the Bazile creek when they come,
as they must next season. The contract
let, it seems, does not begin at Niobrara
but more than a mile west of the town,
near where the Niobrara river empties
into the Missouri. The Milwaukee
stock yards are at this point, and here
also IL the present landing of the trans
fere boat. The land al this place is
higher and dryer than at the present
Niobrara, and It looks as if among the
other jobs undertaken by the company
was the moving of the town.

David City Lightning, Boss, Eureka, Old
Charles and others equally as promising

Lightning for instance, where the vein is
exposed in three different places by
shafts from thirty TO seventy feet deep
and samples from $40 to $50 per ton,
and is from five to eight feet wide. One
hundred tons Of ore can be taken out of
this mine per day, and can be crushed
with forty 800 pound) stamps at an
expense Of 800 per ton. One hundred
tons of this ore will give q net profit of
Sl,75O per day, or $4,000 per month.
This can be done with some brains and
q capital not to exceed 100000, yet.
some of our northern cousins who are
bonanza kings will not buy any mine
that is not u mountain Of ore, that will
require q capital Of at least one-hali
million dollars to make it pay govern
ment bond interest. These veins that
the above mentioned mines are opened
upon have improved both in quantity
and quality as depth is attained. The
vein in the seventy-foot shaft on the

shaft it sampled S22 per ton and is six
feet wide ana perfectly free milling

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1850.
There IL considerable complaint amons


the cattle men of lister county, who
have their stock or ranches near the
location Of our farmers, in regard to
the herd law Of Dakota. The law COM
pells stock men to herd their cattle and
consequently the farmer goes without a
fence around his farm.
This law was passed when the country
lying to the south and east Of Yankton
was all Of Dakota that was settled, and
which has very little timber, and at
that time that portion of the territory
was poor and the settler not able to buy
anything in the way Of fencing, but if
intended TO be applied 10 a country
whose herds comprise from 1000 to
10O,O 0 head Of cattle, and where every
thing needed to fence cultivated land is
within the reach Of all, and that with
but little exertion, it is a miserable
failure.
For the southeastern portion Of the
territory and the great wheat region OF
the Red River of the north, the law
was and is now probably q good n and
u benefit to hat country, but it is certain
ly a detriment to- the Black Hills and
Custer county in particular. The coun-
try to the east, west and south Of us Is
acknowledged by all stock men to be
the best for stock on this side Of the
Rockies, and this county, outside of its
mines, will contain more solid wealth
in the cattle interests than any other
from the British Possessions on the
north t. the Gulf on the south, and will
be the making Of Custer City and coun-
ty, provided this law is done away with.
We would not advocate this If We
thought 1t would in any way injure the
homesteader and those cultivating the
land in this portion of the territory, but
there are very few farmers in this coun-
try but what have the necessary material
with which to build fences already grow
ing on their farms,and could with a very
small outlay secure the ground cultiva-
ted from the cattle, and thus allow stock
men to let their cattle run. This can
easily be adjusted to the satisfaction OF
all by our legislature, either by exempt
ing this portion Of the country or else
give the Black Hills counties the right
to make their own laws in this respect
