Fort Randall, D. T., Dec. 20, 1S79.-The
last W or three days have been more like
spring than winter. The last snow drited
a good deal and gave the boys lots of work.
A great deal OF snow has been hauled away
with wagons.
Since our last communication our colonel
has returned. The escort say they had a
very pleasant time while gone, but 1t was
rather a rough trip coming home. The
boys speak very highly of ,hs way they
were treated while at Fort Meade. They
say they never saw men more sociable than
those Of Meade. Our boys say they ''took
in" Deadwood for all it was worth.

only were cast against the bonds. Now if
this vote was not an exhibition of grit.
pluck and enterprise to a degree very sel.
dom witnessed, then we are no judges. The
citizens Of Yankton have the right sort OF
nerve and energy. We don't believe there
is another community in the northwest, with
perhaps the exception of Deadwood, tina,
would have, with such unanimity, taken
such a courageous step in the line of public
enterprise. We cannot but admire Yank.on
for this exhibition OF goaheaditiveness,
business pluck, and financial courage, Such
a people, and such a city, deserves prosper.
iity and advancement, and they will surely
have it.

THE TRENTON CONTENTION.

The Republicans of New-Jersey did an OK
cellent work at Trenton yesterday. They
nominated for Governor man whom public
Opinion throughout the State had designated
as peculiarly fitted by character, talents and
experience to fill the executive chair; man
who did not seek the Office, but whom the
Office sought-Frederck A. Potts, OF Hunter
don County So strong was the feeling in
favor of Mr.. Potts that all other candidates
voluntarily stepped aside and the nomination
was rendered him By reclamation. lie will
make canvass of the State and will undOubt-
edly greatly increase his present popularity by
a wider acquaintance with the voters
The platform of the Convention wisely makes
prominent the tariff issue raised by the Dem
ocrats by the unqualified declaration i'll the
Cincinnati platform of hostility to the prOtec-
tive system. "a tariff for revenue only"
such as the Democrats avow their purpose to
enact, would he deathblow to the flourish
ing manufacturing industries of New-Jersey,
and would be scarcely less I'M uriOus to the
farmers OF the State by deprlving them of
home market for their commodities. 1t is not
a question of theoretical politics which the
people of New Jersey have to consider; 1t is
q matter of daily bread to thousands of them.
The safety of capital and the employment of
labor are alike involved.
We heartily congratulate the Republicans of
our neighbor State on their action. The unan-
unity and earnestness displayed in their Conven-
ton give assurance of victory, and they have
made this assurance doubly sure by their ex-
cellent ticket and platform. Vigorous work
in the canvass will put the State back

HARD TINES FOR THE DEMOCRATS.

For several years in succession the hard
times furnished Democratic operators with
the bulk of their capital. The stagnation of
business and the hardships of labor were all
charged directly upon Republican admins
tratIon, and it was urged that the
distress would remain and increase in
severity until the country Wa rescued
from ultimate ruin by the elevation of DEM
ocratic Executive This was not only the
burden of harangues uttered by irresponsible
orators on the stump, but it was the lead
ing argument of the conductors of the last
Presidential campaign. Mr.. Tilden himself
took pains to tune his organs up to this
pitch, and when he was sereDaded by the
Jacksonians,n after the nomination at st.
Louis, he sounded this as the keynote of the
canvass. "1he earnings of labor" said the great
Cipherer in his speech on that occasion, and
"the income of capital are consumed or wasted
" in Governmental expenses" And as a result
of Republican rule, 4" we see" added he, all
business depressed, every industry langrush-
ling, labor without employment, and the
" wolf at the door of nearly every home in the
Gland, gaunt and hungry" The particular wolf

Tilden personally complain of the ravases of
the revenue assessor But, after all, the hard
times was bitter and Encouraging fact and the
party in power was compelled TO meet the
charge of causing and aggravating the gem
eral distress, and compelled to show that I'M
der its steady policy the country would pull
through with untarnished honor. No
doubt the party lost some votes on
this account For in their trouble and
disheartenment it was natural that some of
the less courageous and thoughtful would be
willing to make the experiment of a change,
ON the ground that the new condition could
hardly be more trying. But Mr.. Tilden
failed to cipher himself in, and the country
did not rush TO financial rum
And now, in spite of gloomy Democratic
forebodlpgs the cond tions are completely
cbanoed. and the foundations on which the
Democrats based their hopes of success in the
last CANVASS have been swept from under
them. The country's distress was their oppor-
tunity. but now there is no distress Pros
