The Washington Critic, commenting
upon the situation in Dakota, gives cur
rency to the following
Last March the lion. r. +. Pcttigrew,
the delegate in congress from Dakota,
came to the capital in the interests of
those he represented. As he had more
than doubled his competitors vote, he
had no thought Of contest or opposition,
and was both surprised and indignant
to find Governor Ordway and ex-Dele-
gate Bennett assuming to themselves
the rights and functions Of his position.
The battle was hot, and for Willie the
betting was even. tt last, however, it
ended in the usual Kilkenny Cat victory
:. II the parties got worsted, the people
Thereupon, Ordway and Bennett hold
out flag Of truce, but Pettierew WAS
implacable, and his terms were 'uncon-
ditiOnal surrender Such was the state
of the siege when the curtain fell, never
to rise again, on the late administration.

ton, each came up To the scratch smil-

come to time. Ordway received left
hand stroke from the shoulder in the
matter Of Shannon's rcappointment as
chief justice, and his seconds threw up
the sponge. The referees declared
Pettigrew the winner and presented
him with the belt adorned with the
dangling scalps Of his victims, which he
wears with becoming mo lesty."

A Washington spe ,ial says: A cor
respondent interviewed Mr.. Springer.
suppose YOU democrats will fight the
admission of Dakota as state? he was
asked. Yes" replied Springer, Il
shall oppose it anyway. Utah is more
fit and better equipped every way than
Dakota, but l shall object to the adj
mission of any territory as a state un-
ill the boundaries of the population
become fixed. should oppose the adj
mission of Utah, New Mexico and
Arizona, just AS seriously, although We
would get democratic senators from
these states. think we ought to wait
until the western country is sufficiently
developed for us to determine what will
be the probable character and density
of the population, and tell better where
TO put the boundaries, and how much
territory they ought to contain. We
mado mistake, you see, in admitting
both Colorado and Nevada. Nevada is
too small and should never have been
made state. Still, in order to take
population enough we made the bounda-
ries of Colorado to extensive. Now, the
trouble with Dakota is that we don't
know yet what she is going to amount
to- and SO can as well wait, and the
people are just as we'll off under the
present form Of government. do not
think she will be admitted

Report Of Secretary of the Custer II. d l.,
Co. No. for the Year Of 1881

During the year We have had no call
to fires. Our membership is twentys
five When We organized one year ago
the old company turned over to us 8
ladders, 20 buckets, and one rope with
hook. Since which time we have pur.
chased and paid for the following
$500 back Indebtedness on ladders, one
hook & ladder truck, 3 pull down hooks,
IS feet Of rope, one house and lot, one
lamp beside other necessary articles.
We also have on hand % volumes OF
library books for the use of the mem.
bers and we hope to be able i'm time to
have free reading room for all. We
need great many things yet to make
the company efficient in case of fire.
The greatest need Is more water; there
ought to be a regular fire plug or well or
the present wells sunk deeper, and
pumps put in at least two of the most
central ones A Babcock engine would
be Of great value, or good hand en-.
gine. 1t seems to me the fire wafdehs
ought to belong to the company. We
need bell, also rubber buckets; We
also need larger building for our ap~
paratus. There is great many other
things we need but as we can not at
present houe to get all we do need we
shall have to- be content with what We
have until we can get more, but it
would be wise move by the property
owners. especially on Custer avenue, to
have more water. The following are

The New York Telegram's Washing
ton correspondent says: General
Grants remarkable change of front in
regard to the case of Fitz John Porter
has rather caused an explanation which
may be wholly correct. 1t is asserted
that if Grant throws his influence in
favor of the restoration Of Porter to the
retired list Of the army the democrats in
congress will not make any further OBJ
lection to the restoration Of Grant TO the
army on the retired list. Hitherto John
Logan has been the leading opponent OF
the opposition. He is the principal adj
vocate Of the bill to put Grant on the re-
tired list and it will be difficult, if not
impossible, for him to continue his OPP
position to Foster, in view OF Grants
change of front. Tie secretly published
opinion of John c. Roper, of Boston, in
his work on Gen. Pope's campaign in
favor Of Porter has good deal ce in
fuence. There is little reason to doubt
that Generals Grant and Porter will
now both be placed on the army retired
list"
Ifputting Grant on the army retired
list meant to retire him politically and
third-termedly the democrats would dc
we'll not to make any objection, but if il
does not, he should still be kept on the
| shoulders of his mutual friends. Theil
disgust is only question of time and
when he is deprived of their support il
would give him chance to display some
of the many brilliant talents claimed
for him by the mutual admiration socie
ty, or the stalwart leaders.

Gov. MO- G.(ood) Ordway passed
through Sioux City on the 9Th on his
way east and Of course was interviewed.
AS is usual with the high-altitudian gov.
contemporaries, his remarks were
confined to the following:
You may SAY that Gov. Ordway has
written no letter opposing division or
admission, but has recommended both.
Neither has hc malignel the people of
Oak ota Al his criticisms have been upon
the methods Of Pettgiew and his thirty
nine pals. whom hc regards as lineal
descendahts of the original forty. He
would consider it an honor to be dis
placed for thwarting the schemes of
thosc who inspired the late specials
from Washington"
If Gov. N g. would devote more of
his valuable time to canvassing the in
terests Of the territory and less to the
methods Of Pettigrew" his chances Of
becoming clerk of the court, or bailin
