Dakota's Convention.

SIOUX FALLS, Oak, Sept. I4.-At
the morning session of the Conven-
ton, the Judiciary Committee reported
preamble for the new constitution.
10 be substituted for the one renorted
from the Committee on Preamble some
days ago. 1t is believed that this re-
port cannot be Objectionable 10 the
people OF North Dakota, who took ex-
eeptlons to the phrase I'VE the people
OF Dakota. : The preamble itself is
brief, but is accompanied by an intro
duction from the Committee in which
Statehood is claimed upon similar COM
pacts and rights set forth in the original
preamble. In submitting the report.
Mr.. Moody said, if he found that anv
material proportion of the population
of North Dakota desired that the south
ern part should not assume the name
OF the State of Dakota he would
move to instruct the Committee which
will present the constitution to request
Congress to add the prefix South So
that the name will be the state of
South Dakota
The question of prohibition. which
was made the special order, was next
called up The gallery was crowded
with ladies, who applauded the wedges
drivers. who succeeded in driving the
convention and creating considerable
dlssention. When the Convention adj
Journed at 1880 the subject was still
under discussion. At the afternoon
session many speeches were made for
and against the subject. and it was
finally put to vote. Thirty-six voted
for and sixty-four against, which was
final. At an early period in the morn
ing session the question as to the adj
visibility of electing State officers was
brought up and made special order for
to-night's session.

Judge Blacks Posthumous Reply d
JEFF Davis.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 11-Judge
Blacks posthumous reply JEFF. Davis
recent attack upon him, is published
to-day. 1t comes in the shape of an
interview with the great jurist by Frank
A. Burr, a personal friend of Judge
Black, and just before the judge was
taken sick. 1t is fully authentic and
deals with the most important subjects.
The response to Davis criticisms forms
a small part of the paper. Judge Black
maintains his former position in rela-
lauon to secessionists, and is very Sc
we're upon the acts of the ex-eonfederate
president and those who acted with him
lie asserts that Davis was talking peace
and planning war, and always was try
ing to get Buchanan to accede to the
demands of the secessionists. The
most important part of the article per-
tains to his association with Buchanan
during the last four months of his adj
ministration. The differences between
them are described, and much of the
inner history of that period is set out in
forcible and entertaining words. But
the most important feature of the an
ticle is Judge Blacks dramatic story
of the cabinet crisis in 1860, which is
given in full. He defines the scope of
Buchanan's reply to the South Carolina
commission, and why he was going to
leave the cabinet. His ultimatum to
the president at that moment is given
in full. His reasons for his acts at that
time that have never before been pub
lished, are herein outlined. 1t tells of
Buchanan's position upon secession,
and denies his letter to the South Caro-
lima commission, acknowledging the
right of the state to secede. The article
places Judge Black in new light be-
tore the country.

The Roster of the Denartments

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-The new
register of the United States, giving the
names, compensation, and residence of
all persons in the departments, as they
appeared on the pay-rolls on July /,
1883. is now in course of preparation
and will soon be published. MIR. Lock
wood, chief clerk OF the Interior De-
partment, has decided to make up the
list as it stood on July 10, instead of
July /, as on this day the old order of
things ended and the new civil service
law went into force. Ii would be well
to have this policy adopted in the regis
ter as whole. A preliminary register
of the Interior Department was pub
lished short time ago corrected to
April 20. The total payroll was then
1901. In the distribution by states, 33l
are credited tie New York, 24S to Penn
sylvania; Ohio, 1873; Illinois, 145; Indi-
ana, 40, and Virginia, 1872. The Dis
trict of Columbia gets 465, many of
whom are messengers. watcbmen, la
borers, etc. The payroll of the general
Post Office Department has sos names,
of which 90 are credited to New York.

Special Railway Rates.

ST.. PAUL. Mimi, Sept. 1.-THE
officials of the Omaha, the Milwaukee.
and st. Paul and the Minneapolis and
ST. Louis railroads to-day agreed to
fix theatrical rates at two-thirds of the
regular unlimited rates over their re-
spective lines. They must be confined
to genuine theatrical people, and if
proven that the tickets were sold ut
such rates, the ticket thus sold shall be
treated the same as provided for in
the case of a cut rate, except when
evidence is produced that theatrical
manager abused his privileges; then
the penalty applies only so far as re-
demption of the ticket at the rate for
which it was sold, and further privi-
leges must be denied said theatrical
manager. No commission shall be
paid on tickets at theatrical rates. No
passes or free tickets are TO be given to
secure passengers, and if the fact of n
pass or free ticket being given to secure
any passenger business is established.
the agent who gave the pass or free
ticket must redeem the same at twice
the regular fare between the points for
which il was issued.

conferred in the attempt of Jay Eye-Seet o
beat his record of PA for - purse OF
1000. He trotted his warming-up heat

he made the most remarkable exhibition
of trotting ever seen at this track, and
his time to the first quarter was 81 sec,
to the half 1:064. three-quarters SO,
and finished in 2:l0f. He went over
the entire course without skip or a
break of any kind, and when he came
under the wire showed no signs of dis
tress, the spectators standing in their
seats and cheering loudly as the plucky
little flyer came down the home stretch
having equalled the best time on record
within half q second.

Mr.. Tilden's Library.

The contract for the wood carving
in the library of Mr.. Tilden's Creamery
park residence has been awarded. The
work is of the most elaborate design.
The room is finished in oak, with what
is known as naturalistic carving. The
several panels and posts are of differ
ent design, and all are finished in the
most delicate manner The large panes
for the doors represent various kinds OF
foliage, entwining a shield bearing the
initial L. One is of briony, another OF
woodbine, of blackberry, thistle vine
and numerous other designs. The mi
tial is upon an enriched background.
The smaller panels are of richer
finish, if possible, than the larger.
They represent birds, fruit and flowers,
faithfully carved from the oak. The
mantels are carved in most elaborate
manner. The frieze presents fine pic.
ture of natural foliage. The columns
supporting it are studded with gerani
UNI leaves, buttercups, woodbine and
many other designs. There are two
mantels, and they are considered the
most elaborate specimens of work ever
sent out from the work-room The
ceilings are of oak, set with tiles, and
carved in bold relief When finished
the room will be one of the finest in the
country.

work on the capitol buildings will be
continued night and day. 1t is expected
that the work will be fairly near COM

Wisconsin State Fair.

The State Fair at Madison last week
proved an immense success. The
weather Was all that could be hoped for
and the display in agricultural imple-
ments. horses and cattle, was very
large. The Fine Art hall was well
filled up and attracted considerable at
tention. The display Of vegetable and
fruit was very good. The attendance
was large and various estimates place
the average attendance from $4,000 to
10000. The exhibition of turf horses
was the finest eyer seen in the state, al
though turfmen were very reluctant to
enter horses on account of the purses
being so small. VIM. Dyer's stallion
Membrino Swigert. took second pre-
MUM in his class and the silver medal
being the highest premium awarded by
the society. There were many fast
horses upon the grounds, among them.

Fall Trade OutI00k.

New York, Sept. IA leading
mercantile agency reports that the
events of the week do not mar the
generally satisfactory prospects for the
business of the country The weather,
though somewhat unreasonable, is ia.
vorable to the progress of the fall trade,
especially in the dry goods business,
which has been very active during the
week, with large movement of mer-
chandise. The transactions outside OF
New York, as indicated by the bank
exchanges, show considerable increase
with light decrease in the city, owing
probably to exceptional causes. Some
Improvement is noted in the iron trade
with firmer prices. There is better
feeling in oil, prices being well sup
ported and business active. The gro.
Gerry trade is satisfactory. Business al
the Stock Exchange has been large,
with general Improvement in prices
of securities. Money is plenty, and al
low rates. Altogether, the situation is
more satisfactory than last week, and
the prospects for the coming months APP
pears excellent. Business failures,
while somewhat numerous, are with
few exceptions unimportant, the num-
Der reported during the week being
173 throughout the United States and
Canada.

Paper and Coin.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Judge Law
renee, first controller of the treasury,
has prepared an interesting statement
based upon the paper and coin circula-
ton of the country. 1t shows that the
total circulation is 81 ,575, 104, 642. OF
that amount 1881, 757, 069 is paper and
$743. .573 coin. Taking these fig
ures, and assuming the total population
of the country to be $4,000, 900, the dis
tribution per capita would be 5000.
1t is unnecessary TO say there are one

Another Battle In Anam.

LONDON, Sept. IA dispatch from
Hong Kong to-day states that a battle
has taken place between the French
forces and the Black Flags, lasting
eight hours. The engagement took
place between Hanoi and Sontay, near
the Red river. The French forces are
reported as having lost tHo officers and
fifty men. The loss Of the Black Flags
is estimated at between five and six
hundred. Hanoi is town where the
French have been holding their gar
rison since the previous engagement at
Sontay, awaiting reinforcements.
II is probable, from the tenor of the
above dispatch, that the Black Flags,
whose headquarters are at BAG Mirih,
to the north of Hanoi, are determined
to recapture Sontay from the French,
who have kept gunboat the last fort
night.
