Mrs. PartIngtOn.

The Harris Comedy company. which ap-
pears at the Opera house tomorrow even
ing, has been meeting an enthusiastic re-
ception everywhere. The Portland (Me.)
Argus says of the entertainment:
Last evening Charles Fostelle appeared
at Portland theater as Mrs. Darlington,
the Mrs. Malapropof America, and made
a most assured success. AS the Boston
Herald has said, there is slight flavor
of Neil Burgess as s'Widow Bedott'' in MI.
Fostelle's Mrs. Darlington, but this
pertains only to the long sentences
rapidly delivered. As far as womanly hg-
ure and feminine movements are con-
cerned, Mr.. Fostelle is far superior to Mr..
Burgess, and his dance at the close of the
third act is one of the best things of the
kind we ever saw on the stage. The stu
atoms and acting form the plays strength.
Master Dunn's aIke'' was excellent, but
rather too pronounced, too emphatic. His
dance was capital and called forth dou-
BILE encore. Messrs. Vincent and Wright
were as good as the Judge and the deacon,
respectively; and Mr.. Nagle was bur-
lesque of Bunthorne. The ladies were
bright, pretty and acceptable.

- CHICAGO, Feb. S.--Some holders of
bonds Of 1anktOn county, Dakota, have
prepared protest against the admission of
Dakota as a state, which will be forwarded
shortly to Washington. The allegations
therein contained, if true, show a remark
ably bad record for the citizens of that
county. 1t is set up that in 1872 the
county issued $500, 600 in bonds to aid the
Dakota Southern Railroad under the act of
Congress; that these bonds are widely DIS
tributed; that under the lead of some of
the men now pushing the matter of admis-
sion at Washington the county stopped the
interest upon these bonds and tried to re-
pu1iate them, but after several years liti-
cation the United States Supreme
Court in May, 1880, decided that they
must be paid. Since then, by various ois-
reputable expedients, aided by the terri
torial Legislature, they have, the bond
holders assert, avoided the payment of in
terest, which now amounts to $150,000
One expedient was law permitting county
commissioners to resign Immediately by
fling paper By SO resigning the com
missioners escaped service last summer,
and when the affairs of the county de-
manded some attention, new Commission
ers were appointed early one Monday
morning, who met secretly, transacted some
business and resigned before daylight, to
avoid process. That this trick was ap-
proved by the voters, who reelected them,
but that they feared TO qualify. Finally
two Of them did qualify secretly, transact
ed some business and then resigned, leav-
ing the bonds in statu quo. In view of
the condition of the affairs, the bondhold-
ers will protest that Dakota is not ready
for self government, and that the federal
power which authorized the bonds should
protect the holders and not encourage re-
pudiation.
YANKToN, Feb, e.--A denial is sent
from Bonhomme county that G. L Nc
Coy was guilty of bond frauds for which
he was alleged to have been arrested in
Washington ID. c. The denial states that
the bond register is in its place and has
nevera been disturbed; that the Grand Jury
has refused to indict anybody on the bond
charge; that the whole indebtedness of the
county, is less than $35, 900. The sheriff
for Bonhomme disclaims having any pa
pers ofthe arrest of Mccoy.

The President transmits to Congress a
communication from Secretary Kirkwood
with the correspondence regarding law
lessness in territories. The President
again suggests legislation concerning the

in their duty. and suggests that it might
be expedient to empower the Governor
with authority to remove or suspend q
sheriff for neglect of duty Acting

The committee on territories in the Senate

democrats will oppose any modification
of the posse comitatus act, and take the
