A striking illustration OF the manner
IN which the subservient slave obeys the
commands of his master is given in that
highly moral journal, the Huron Leader,
in an attack upon Territorial Secretary
Teller. The slave advances three points
against Mr.. Teller: Q) That he is
drawing two salaries, one as member of
the Indian commission and one as terri
torial secretary; (2) that be never would
have come to Dakota if he had not been
sent here as an official; (3) that when his
term expires he will shake the dust of
Dakota from his feet. It Is not suppo.
sable that the sla-e would make these
blind statements of his own volition and
it is supposable that he was prompted
by the late indicted. Each one of them
is falsehood, and for moral editor to
perpetrate three of them in ono bunch
indicates the directing power of mind
more corrupt than his own. Since Mr..
Teller has been secretary of Dakota he
has refused to receive any pay for his
work on the Indian commission, though
he is legally entitled to it. Mr.. Teller
had migrated to Dakota before there was
a thought of bestowing an official posi-
tion upon him and was looking around fol
opportunities for investment when he
was appointed upon the Indian commits
sion, which appointment preceded thu
more permanent appointment Of secre
tary. When his term Of office expires b.
will doubtless remain Dakotaian, as b.
has invested most of his means in Da
kota property. He came with the inten
tion of locating permanently, before b
received an appointment. and has see
no reason to change his plans. It
because Mr.. Teller is an honest man tha
the late indicted does not like HIM an
the slave seems in duty bound to ech
the prejudices Of his master.

Ordway's Escape From q Legal Investfea-
ton Does Not Improve his Reputation.
Alexandria Herald.
After all Ordway's mouthinRs about
wanting q chance to vIndicate himself,
when he got it he took advantage of q
trick, a technicality, loophole and
crawled out. His attorneys pleade d
want of jurisdiction of the grand jury
and the court sustained the plea. A
governor, then, is not amenable to the
law. The sooner congress takes the
matter in hand the better.

Through tie teehnicalities of the law
Governor Ordway owes his release from
the meshes OF justice which were slowly
but surely encircling him under the in
dictment found against him by the grand
jury at Yankton. The decision Of the
court in quashlng the indictmen. We un.
derstand to be based upon the idea that
a governor Of Dakota cannot be punished
as ordinary criminals are, in other words,
that like the early saxon kings of Eng
land, "The king can do no wrong" and
hence laws were not presumed to be
made for hia acts, and further that il the
statute did apply to Governor Ordwsy
he would be subject to conviction and in
that regretfui event Dakota would be
without governor and hence public
policy says the court requires that the
statue should not apply to his acts, broad
as the language is. Strange as the de-
clsion may strike common minds, it is
doubtless technically correct under our
territorial relation or Judge Edgerton
would not have made it.
Governor Ordway andshis friends may
think this technical advantage great
victory, but they will find that after
their great pretended anxiety for a jury
trial of Governor Ordway upon the
merits, their perfdy will bury them so
deep that the hand of resurrection will
never touch them in the estimation OF
the people of Dakota. The fact of this
indictment and this technical advantage
places Ordway in most unenviable
light, and had he gone to trial and act
ually been convicted he would not have
occupied worse position in moral esti
nation. He occupies q worse position
to.doy than the defendant in the Scotch
verdict, "Guilty bnt not proved"

Governor Ordway, instead of meeting
the charge Of bribery, as all along he has
said he wanted to, came into court with
four great lawyers who madea motion to
quash the indictment on the ground that
under the statute be was not q civil
officer of the government. The point
was sustained by Judge Edgerton. He
therefore goes free. This action only
strengthens the belief that he is guilty
as charged. The people have no more
| use for him.

Governor Ordway has slipped out of
the trial he was so anxious to meet, on o
mere technicality. He was indicted by
the United States grand jury for bribery
in the organization of Faux county.
The case came on for trial last Friday;
and his attorneys moved to quash the
indictment for lack of jurisdiction, claim.
ing that grand jury had no power to
indict q governor for malfeasance in
Office, but that his punishment was IN
the hands of the president and must con-
sist of removal from Office. The Judge
sustained the motion and discharged the
prisoner.
While this result may remove from
Mr.. Ordway the personal fear of latticed
windows, it in no sense relieves him of
the odium of bribery, and affords him
no vindication whatever. If he was able
to prove his innocence it seems strange
that he did not prefer to go to trial and
clear his reputation of so foul stain
But he probably argued that one blot
rmore or less upon his already bespat.
tered garments would make but little
difference in his general appearance, and
hence personal freedom was more valua
BILE in his eyes than little cleansing ol
very dirty linen.

:. After argument by the at.
torneys, Judge Edgerton sustained the
motion. quashed the Indictment, and
ordered that Governor Ordway be dis
charged from custody. And thus ends
the case, leaving the governor under the
stigma of corruption in Office and under
the moral burden of an indictment from
the consequences of which he escaped
by the adroit interposition of legal
quibble. Ordway has done great deal
of declaiming about his anxiety for an
opportunity to go into court and vindi
cate himself from the charges of cor
ruption prferred against him in nearly
all his official acts; but the methods be
adopted to escape trial upon the first
charge brought against him according to
the established forms of law, show that
all his professions have been nothing
more than the mouthings OF braggart.
He was charged with crime. He was
required to go into court, where he had
an opportunity to prove that bis accusers
gave false testimony, receive an honor
able discharge, and win credence for his
self-vaunted honor and integrity. He
has chosen otherwise, aud to day stands
before the people in the attitude OF q
culprit who was sentenced to death with
the proviso that if in the operation of
hanging the rope should break his life
should be spared. In Ordway's case q
legal bubble represents the broken rope

The quashing of the indictment
against Gov. Ordway for mere TECHNICAL.
ties cannot be considered as q vindica-
tion from the charges made against him.
Though proof of guilt is thereby cut off,
and as every individual charged with
offense is considered innocent until
proven guilty, his innocence is not there
by established. 1t is barely possible
that grand jury might find an indlct.
ment against an individual based upon
evidences entirely fictitious but not
probable, hence it would seem that there
must be some foundation for the charges
made against him. What will be the
effect OF this abrupt termination of bis
trial with the president, in reference to
a re. appointment, remains to be learned
Whether guilty or innocent, it will be
generally admitted that no man should
be appointed to preside over us as gov.

may be an innocent and much abused

a paper treating of tho illusions of
memory. The subject is handled in q
mastery manner, telling of the strange
impressions we sometimes feel in look
ing out over n landscape never before
seen by us, yet, suddenly there comes
a flash of indistinct recollection as if,
years ago, back to which time memory
refuses to travel in direct line, we
looked upon the scene. Some inycsti-
gators have thought that n man during
q certain mental condition, can look mt
strange object and chat only one hem
isphcro of his mind receives the i'm
preston Suddenly the other hemi-
sphere receives it, and still retaining
the impression taken by the first hcmi-
sphere, he remembers to have seen tho
object before. No man has satisfactor-
lily explained this illusion, but thcro arc
illusions of memory which can be cx-
planned. For instance q man goes
homo after day of toll, and says to
his wife:
''Saw our old friend Jackson to-day.
Looking fine. Said he was never in
better health in his life. Asked about
you: If business don't go better,

BY the way, saw our old friend Jack
