An event OF interest in relation to the
electoral count of 1876 has been recalled
by number Of democratic congressman
who we're conferring with relation to the
importance Of Legislation this session to
regulate the counting of the electoral
votes. A democratic senator, who was
then in the senate, stated that in 1875,
Senator Morton's bill, prescribing u
method for the count, passed the senate,
receiving several democratic votes. With
view Of getting all the democratic SEN
ators to vote for it, and thus commend
it to the democratic house, Senator
Thurman moved its reconsideration; the
resolution slumbered and the bill was
never called up again, and thus died;
and the senator added: "Had that bill
passed Tilden would have been presi-
dent. That motion Of Thurman's was q
fatal mistake, and Thurman has realized
it since" Senator Pugh's bill, making
it criminal otrense to get up electoral
returns from state, is not in the ma.
ture of substitute for Edmunds', but ID
intended as an addition to it, and relates
simply to the matter Of fraudulent OF
simulated returns.

DAk0TA'S CONSTITUTION.
s9me Suggestions Thereupon by y Kings
bury County Man.

s4me Suggestions Thereupon by = Kings
bury County Man.
Howard Advance.
Newspapers and public speakers are
expressing their views upon the subject
OF dividing the territory, admitting q
part into the union and the calling Of a
constitutional convention, but little is
yet heard upon the vital question, "what
kind of Il constitution shall, we have?"
We ale expending our strength upon
methods OF procedure when circumstan.
ccs Indicate that the necessity Is close
upon us of determining what the sub.
stance of the constitution shall be. 1t
will be a folly, the effects of which Da-
kota will never ontgrow, if the people 20
into political scramble to determine
who shall have the honor of seats in
that first convention and neglect to in.
siruct their delegates as to what they
shall DC iii that convention. Many Of
them will be men CT little political wis
dom and some will have nothing in mind
higher than the thought of how best to
advance the personal and political inter-
est OF their own poor selves.
Is IT not time the people began to
consult together and through the press
to consider the provisions they wish to
see Incorporated into their fundamental
law. The disastrous consequences of
omitting certain safeguards in existing
state constitutions are manifestin0
themselves in some of the older states.
Shall we profit by their experience. be
warned by their mistake, determine what
as people we want before our convep-
ton is held, and be prepared to instruct
odr delegates? Or shall We drift into
statehood without forethought; assume
that our delegates will understand the
whole subject and let things 20 hap.
hazard, until the crude work OF an unin.
structed convention is submitted to ue
to accept as whole, or to reject as q
whole?
Among the subjects demanding stten.
tion, besides the detAition of the powers
of the executive, legislative and judi
cial departments, are:
l. Emphatic and mandatory provi.
sions for the protection of our public
school and university funds.
2. Provisions which shall secure the
power of the state to control its own
creatures-private corporations.
3. Limitations upon the power of
municipal corporations to contract
debts.
4. Protection of the ballot 80 that the
vote shall be secret, but giving the legis.
lature power to identify ballots 80 as to
detect frauds.
5. Permit the soldier to vote where he
is in time of war.
6. Security, uniformity and flexibility
In the means of raising revenue.
| I. Provide for publication of statutes
80 that all people may know the law be-
fore it operates upon them.
s. Remit to the people of localities
the power to accept or reject statute
local option.
9. Secure payment Of compensation
before property is taken or damaged un.

CAPTURED JAIL BREAKERS.

Darcey and Hart. who are Wanted ut
Grand Island, Taken In.
Grand Island. Neb. Jan. 23-Yester-
day morning Sheriff Denman of this
county, received a telegram from Sheriff
Hutchinson of Adams county, at Hast.
ings, saying he had got Darcey, one Of
the parties who broke jail here couple
of days ago. and that Darcy said he had
left Hart, the murderer, the evening be-
fore near Morrison's, small hamlet
about two miles from Hastings. Sheriff
Denman drove to Hastings at once and
found that Hutchinson had already bag.
ged his game, and the following account
Of the affair was given: 1t seems that
Darcy got cold and hungry and applied
to the sheriff of Adams county for
go to Grand Island. The sheriff, think
his way through the country, com.
piled with his wish, when,
| after finishing his meal, Darcy took the
sheriff to one side, and told him he was
Darcy, who, Ill company with Hart,
broke Jail at Grand Island, and that he
had left Hart the evening before near
Morfison's as above stated. The sheriff
| then locked Darcy up and started twen-
" horsemen out ;t,nr Hart. The sheriff
rode out to MorrisJ. 's and told Morri.
son thnt there was 5000 reward offered
for Hart, and that he would give Morri-
son $50 ii he would come 10 town at
once and tell him should Hart make his
appearance. This Morrison promised to
do, and about noon Morrison came in
and told Hutchinson that Hart had been
there. The shel1ff at once started out
looking everywhere for Hart land in going
near hay stack he noticed furrow in
the ground with a jag of hay on 1t. and
says he did not think his man could be
under it, but thought he would drive
over it anyway. which he did, and Hart.
who was beneath 1T shouted Get off of
there" Th, sheriff then drew his revol-
yer on Hart and ordered him to surren-
der, which he did and Hutchinson took
INN safely to Hastings and held him un-
til Denman arrived. Hart said he had
seen horsemen all around HIM all day,
feet OF him, but they were not as sharp
as the sheriff and did not dream of their
man being in such place. Denman
brought Darcy and Hart heavily ironed
to this place last night, and they are
once more ensconced in their old quar-.
ters, and seem to be glad of it, for they
Jared rather poorly in their thin attire,
and no money to buy food with. Hart
told our correspondent this
afternoon that if he
had not been so reduced in health by
his long imprisonment he would never
have been taken, for he would have been
miles further away than he was, but he
got so fatigued he could not travel far at
a time: Their escape from Jail here was
very cleverly managed BY taking kero-
sene from their lamp and rubbing it on
the ceiling, thereby softening the mortar,
then using q piece of iron which they
broke from their bedstead and punched
through. Sheriff Denman is to be con-
graduated on the recovery of Hart, who
is one of the worst characters ever let
loose, and the court, which now sets
soon, will no doubt send him up in short
order for the cold-blooded manner in
which he shot poor Cress last winter,
thereby causing his death.
