Of 1882 is not so strong now, since during

recently served upon the commissioners. The
charges made IN the quo warranto writ wcro
that the commission bill was not q constitu-
tioual measure, that tho commissioners we're
ursurpins office aud We're about to use public
funds without authority, etc. One set of these
papers were brought by the territory on the
relation of Il. q. Smith, district attorney. and
the other on the relation of the city of Yankton.
In the one OH the relation of l.. d. Smith, the
defendants admit that the seat of government was
ut Iankton and aver that the governor and legisla-
ture PASSED the act for the removal and that said
act has been published in full; further, that de-
PENDANTS were seconded i'll said act as commission
es for the purpose of locating permanently the
seat of government and capitol building of said ter
reiory. That before commencing their duties
with good and sufficient %sureties, ap-
proved by one of the ius'ic of the supreme
court, conditioned on faithfully carrying out tho
provisions Of the bin: rh"y also took the oath as
directed by the art, an! have catered upon the dis
charge of the duties commit d to them by said act:
that said act has b.eu in force SiGce March s, and
that the APPOINTMENT Of defendants is not in viola
ton OF any law or aci of congress: that defendants

that they have taken no steps, aud intend to take
none to impose or incur any expense upon said
Territory, except such rs may he payable from and
only from the funds in said act provided for; and
that all other ats. doiugs and intentions are and
have been strictly in accordance with tie act APP
pointing them to such employment and duty.
In the case which the city of Iankton is the
%relator, defendants demurrer is as follows:
First-That the several causes of action are i'm
properly united in one.
Second-That said complaint does not state facts
sufficient to constitute o cause of action against de-
PENDANTS.
T!iri-TI!at the relator is not entitled to maiu-
tain this action.
In all the cases, except that of Capt. Hayes,
tho papers were served outside of Yankton
county, and the defendants demand that the
place of trial be changed from Yankton to the
county in which process was served. This will
bring the trial III Union and Lincoln counties.

YAnktOn County Will Refund.

YANKToN, Oak, Special Telegram. April 25.-
fankton county held an election to-day TO vote
upon the question of refunding the county debt.
tu:- 10Y I'll days a co'nr";',o ~ citizens has been
making a quiet canvass in tho city and
county, and little opposition was encountered.
The vote in the city was about $50
for refunling. and not a vote against it This vote is
not quite two-thirds of the regular vote. 1t is ex-
pected that the country vote viii be still lighter, as
farmers are all busy. This will at least settle this
yexed question. and Yankton county will now step
up to the captains Office and pay its deb's. This
disposition of the matter was largely brought
about by Gov. Ordway, who was instrumental in
memorial asking congressional action was
adopted. The debt is now about S35O,OOO.
of which Sl50,O00 is defaulted interest at eight
per cent. The new bonds will bear four per cent
interest for ten years, and one half cent more after
that time. 1t is thought that all bondholders will
gladly make the exchange.

A Move Toward Statehood.

CHICAGO, Special Telegram, April 3O.-The
Times to-day publishes the following, dated
Deadwood, Oak: Somebody has called a con-
ven'ion to be held at Huron in June, and at the
sam time has named it a constitutional con-
%vcntion, but exactly why so designated is not
clear. Tho convention will consist of All
delegates, representing counties south Of the
forty sixth parallel. 1t is authorized by no
enabling act, proceeding of congress, or legis-
lative bill. On the contrary, q bill
providing for some such meeting
was killed by Gov. Ordway last session. 1t is
noticeable that q certain faction is working I'M
ceasingly to arouse interest in the Huron meet
ing. In Eastern Dakota the faction is known
as the followers of Pet'lsrew; in the Hills they
train under tho banner of G. c. Moody, while
collectively they are recognized as the Ordway
and Bennett crowd. Hugh Campbell, district
attorney for this Territory, belongs to the
gang. He recently made a sort of fly by night
the whole business concerning this Huron
convention. Briefly their programme ls to
present o cut-and-dried constitution for adopt
ion bv the convention, and subsequent %raiitica-
ton by the people; and 10 make arrangements
in accordance with its provisions for u COM
tors, one representative, governor, legislature
and minor officials, to be elected at the regular
fall election, Thus prepared they will go to
congress demanding admission, believing the
Democratic ma joliiy will not care to go on
record as a party that for purely political
reasons, DISTINGUISHED Il quarter of a million
of people which will be represented as the
population of Southern Dakota, They will

before congressional recognition was secured.
How about details? Is there anything of a slate
Us yet? asked the correspondent.
Oh, yes, of course. Pettigrew aud Moody are
down for the seua,c. aud Campbell is working up a
gubernatorial boom. That's what he came on here
for, and now he is off on a tour of Southeastern
Dakota. He is sanguine the scheme will work to a
charm.
Such is the movement in which "there arc no
pipes TO lay" as outlined by one of the origin
atora who has a national reputation for poiiti-
cal machine work. 10 further the scheme the
Huron convection has been called. Naturally
opposition is expected from the Ordway- BEN
nett faction, so completely ignored in prelim-
mary work thus far. Exactly what folm it
will take remains to be seen, but that, backed
by the Democratic element here and abroad.
it will succeed scarcely admits of q doubt

grand jury Of Yapkton county now in session seems
to be investigating certain matters connected with
the last legislature. Chief Clerk Henderson,, of the

and was questioned in regard to the history of certain
bills. The object Of this seems to be two-fold.
Certain Yankton county lawyers, with the district
attorney and his assistant. are very anxions to get
proof that Gov Ordway used the veto power to
compel members to vote for the capital
commission bill, or other measures. Whiie no,nn.
is positively known about the result on this point,
the grazing is said to haze BEEN slight. The other
point is in regard to Il hili making an appropriation
Of $1,000 for the Springfield normal school.
This bill was vetoed by the governor,
and it is Claimed by the friends of the bill tina, the
bin was not vetoed until after it had become a law
by limitation. The governors memoraadum. low-
ever, is Otherwise, and the recaris show
that the bill was still in the house
when the Springfield people claim the bill WAS seat
to the governor. Failing on this point, the Normal
school people admit they were wrong, but still
claim that tie bill was sent one dag
earlier than the governors memorandum shows.
The council records, however, contain nothing to
show Just when the bill was sent to the executive
Office. If it is a possible thing. however, tine grand
