The Pettigrew and Tankton kickers held a meeting
here last night to swap lies about the capital COM
mission and governor. The stock was abundant,
but the market dull. They wept upon each others
necks and made loud lamentations over unfinished
lobby jobs and fat Indian contracts soon to be be-
yand their reach. This was the first anti-capital
removal meeting in which true harmony has pre-
vailed. all others proving dismal failures.

PIERRE's AMBITION.
PIERRE Special Telegram, April 21.-At a mass
meeting OF the citizens OF Pierre, called by the
united Pierre press. and attended by about 300
people, resolutions were unanimously passed con-
demning the action of the Sioux Falls meeting, en-
dorslng the capital commission bill and appointing
a delegation of forty representative men to attend
q general convention for Central Dakota to take
requirements Of the capital bill. and it is conf
deutly expected that the Dakota capital will be To-
Gated at this point.
ANoTHER POINT.
The Sioux Falls Press prints the following dis
patch from Yankton, dated the 10Th inst, which re-
reais smother point OF conflict: THE United States
ranto case against the capital commission. has dis
covered that the appointment of these officers by
legislative enactment Is In direct conflict with that
section OF the organic act of the Territory which
prescribes that officers of this character shall be
appointed by the governor and confirmed by the
legislature. Ianktonites nre happy. as this is be-
lieved to settle the case and prevent the removal Of
the capital
Maj. J. B. Raymond. Fargo, delegate elect from
Dakota, arrived in the city yesterday, and registered
at the Metropolitan hotel. Last evening o reporter
sought and found the gentleman in room No. s.
Stating his mission, the reporter was informed that
there was nothing new; in fact, an interview was
out of the question; and thereupon the worthy
gentleman proceeded to unbosom himself, the sub
stance of his remarks being as follows:
The all -important question in Dakota is the matter
OF location of the capital, and the people in the
northern part of the State are anxious to see it
located in the southern central part of the Territory.
as that would but hasten the division we are all SO
anxious Tor. The idea that a territory longer than
all New England should have but two representa-
yves IN the senate is preposterous- We are grow
ing at an unprecedented rate, aud the close of this
year will find 100000 more people in the Territory
than at the present time. OF course the Democrats
oppose division. and / fear as long as they are in a
majority in the national legislative body we cannot
obtain our end. Texas is empowered at any time
BY a popular vote to separate into four States. Why
privileges? The tariff question? o. that's
not settled yet. 1 think it will come
force. The great difficulty is that interests differ.
I am a 'tariff-for-revenue-only'' man, but can
readily see where a protective tariff is needed by
certain business interests. The iron men seem to
be suffering most at this time,and they are really 10
a bad way. The question is one of great import
ance, and cannot be lightly passed upon. As to
good, howeyer; but the trouble is. each new execu-
tive wants the movement to commence with his ad-
ministration. 1t is impracticable, Territorial
10 talk abont. But I can give you a
pointer on the immigration business. The terri
tory west OF US has grown and opened up with mar
velous rapidity, and the greater portion of the tide
OF immigration passes through Fargo. Accus-
toned as We are to booms, we never have seen any
thing equal to the present season. The Fargo
Southwestern railroad. which runs down to Lisbon,
was opened two weeks ago, and the superintendent
business. refused to carry mails. except
every other DAY. Now ehey are run
ming two trains per day each way
all filled with immigrants, and cars cannot be pro-
cured in sufficient numbers to transport the nova
bles. The season has been q most suspicious one
that could be asked for. and seeding has been going
on for some time in all parts OF the Territory. I
have every reason to believe that the present will
be the most suspicious year in every respect in tho
history Of the Territory.
YANKToN, Special Correspondence, April 10.
1t is now nearly six weeks since the legisla-
ture adjourned, and by this time tho public
ought to be well informed ID regard to certain
measures passed by that body. Nevertheless,
such does not seem to be the case. The Fiji

The one that passed the capital commission bill,

upon than any other law ever
enacted in Dakota This comment is usually
IN the nature of adverse criticism. II the crit

there are questions connected with the removal
