HAND IN THE BUSINESS.
TDY TELEGRAPH TO TRiBUSE.l
WASHINGTON Feb. 20.-it begins to appear that
there are two opinions among Democrats regarding
the expediency of stealing the seat of Representa-
tive Washburn, of Minnesota.
There are few Democrats in Congress- and anits
number opt of it. who are inclined TO oppose the
theft because they fear its effect upon the partyv
Some of these gentlemen do not scrupe to say that
Mr.. Springer and his committee are IN danger OF
overriding the business Ii Is reported that among
those who take this view of the matter several
members of the National Democratic Committee
which is to meet in this city next Monday.
Ii may be doing an injustice to Mr.. Tilden, but
whenever. since the days of Cronn's Electoral Col
ege scheme to steal the vote of a Republican
State is found to be foot people sure TO say
that Mr.. TIlden is at the bottom of it. Ii may be
remembered that the conspiracy to reverse the re-
suit of the Maine election openly imputed to
Mr. Tilden. The same is now said of the last at
tempt to steal the vote of Republican State.
1t is reported. upon what appears to be pretty
good authority, that man. xho a trusted polIt-
cal agent of Mr. Tilden before and during the cam
paien of 1876, and who still claims to enjoy coni-
dental relations with that gentleman is deep in the
affair. This person, it is said, made his appearance
here early in the session. and, after some cOquet-
ting with Mr.. Washburn. became an active par
tisan of Mr.. DonnelIy. When the action of the
majority of the sub committee in Mr. Donnely's
favor became known, it is asserted that the Teputed
agent OF Mr. 1ilden claimed part CT the credit for
tGat action aud indeed boasted that hc had brought
1t about IL is further asserted that he approach he'd
friends of Mr.. Washburn, aud intimated that If bo
desired he could still " save that gentleman.
There are some persons; too, who go far to
press the belief that Chairman Springer who was
known TO be some months ago an arleut friend OF
Mr.. rilden, still entertainS the same sentiments,
and that his course the Election Committee will
be in strict harmony with Mr.. Tldem's wishes.
These persons mention Mr. Sprlnger's Sudden visit
10 New-York last week. a. soon the action of the
subcommittee was determined, giving color 90
their belief. They of course suspect t1at one OBJ
ject of Mr. Springers visit was to confer personally
with the statesman of Gramercy Park.

The G. & n. w. in Dakota.

The Chicago & Northwestern Rail-
way company is operating $50 miles
west of Tracy, MIMI, whence it
started its engineer corps into the
field on the 18th of June last year.
1t is tarrylng for a few days at HUI
ron, on the west side of the Dakota
or James river, merely to allow ma
terials to accumulate with which to
finish the nearly graded line to Fort
Pierre, on the Missouri river. The
road that is finished, and that por-
ton that is now being built, is laid
with heavy steel rails, and is being
made in every respect first-class
railroad. From Fort Pierre the
Northwestern will operate stage
line to the Black Hills. 1t is under
stood that daily line of Concord
stages will be put on this route as
soon as the road reaches Fort Pierre,
which, at the rate the steel rails are
now being laid, will be by the first
days of October. In addition to this
central Dakota line, the Northwest
ern has also built and nearly finished
about ninety miles of railroad run
ming north from Huron along the
west bank of the Dakota river to
near Columbia, in Brown county.
The Chicago & Northwestern rail
way has contracted fora steam ferry
across the Missouri river at Fort
Pierre, and has arranged for the
rapid transfer by express freight
wagons of all kinds OF freight be-
tween Fort Pierre and Dcadwood.
