WE DON'T BELIEVE IT.

Fargo Argus: As the inside history OF
the Yankton grand jury comes to light, 1t
becomes moro infamous. 4 second in
dictmsnt was prepared against the exec
utive in relation to the organization Of
Hand county two years ago. Don Porter
was called as q witness by the United
States district attorney. He is reported
to have sai i'd after leaving the jury room,
that he lost $4,000 by not having the
county seat located where he wanted it,
and for this he disliksd Governor Ordway,
but that Hand and Kiagsbury wsreacting
most infamously. hscause whom the Hand
county deal was made mp, all the trade
that was made aud all the promise that WAS
eIsctsd, was that Kingsbury should lie
benefited financially, and Hand should
have the delegation to Grand Forks. This
indictment WAS not pressed, it is presumed
because il would force this evidence on
trial and show how Ex- Secretary Hand
Colonel Kingsbury, of the Press and Da'
kotaian were trying to manipulate the or
ganization OF counties to their own in
erests and play the governor.

OUR SOUTHERN TOWNSHIPS.

The following 10 from 3 report in the
Buffalo Herald Of meeting held recently
TO effect an organization Of that county:
AT this meeting nothing was said about
the location Of q county seat, but another
matter was broached which has had
place in the thoughts of the interested
parties for fully year, or since the dis
ruption Of old Buffalo county. That was
the enlarging of Buffalo county by the
attachment of two tiers Of townships from
Hand county. II is said that the people
Of Miller is in favor Of this, and We know
such an arrangement would be agreeable
to the people Of the towns"
II We are not greatly mistaken this ia 6
matter Of presumption concerning what
Miller people think Of the scheme. Buf.
falo county extends three townships along
the south line Of Hand county. IL two
tiers Of townships were annexed to Buda'
10 it would leave Hand county with an 1
Of four townships in the south east cornel
which would inevitably lead TO anothe
gsnsral division end framing OF new coun
ties which could bring about results inim
icable to the interests of Miller as well a
the majority of our people.

DR.. Miller, the bright editor Of the oma-
hs Herald, takes An extremely bright view
of the (republicsnl situation. He says:
The genius for laundering grows exuber-
sntly in the democratic party. The one
thing which we have been happily disap-
pointed in with the return OF another
presidential election is, that Louisiana did
not massacre few hundred negroes during
the late state election. The only element
now lacking to make the defeat of the
democratic party a certainty is a first class
slaughter of negroes in the so nth on some
prsteIt. It is not believed from our ex-
perience in the past that this condition
will be wanting if it shall be.necesssry to
secure that result. While the usual con-
tempt for success at Chicago, and the up
permost to defeat this man or faction, We
ought to win, We can win, and will win
the most overwhelming defeat that We
have had since the war. in November next
