IF. b. Allen, who recently returned
from the Black Hills, whittier he went
overland from Medora, has submitted an
able report to New York parties in the
interest of railroad to be built from
Medora to the Hills. The report is an
interesting document, giving the status
of the country which the projected line
will traverse, describing the vast miner
al wealth of the Black Hills, and the
agricultural advantages Of the interven.
ing land. The distance from Medora to
the Black Hills is approximately ITO
miles, and The population Of the tract 10
be opened about $1,000. Accompanying
the report are specimens Of the minerals
which abound in the Hills, such as gold.

have heard is dispatch that sub-com-
mittee had agreed to report the bill
back with certain amendments. II it
should take the usual course il cannot
hardly reach the house for action under
two or three weeks hence and if it passes
ii will then have to 60 back to the sen
ate. AS the amendment is an important
one it will probably meet with the earn
est opposition ofSenator Dawes, who is
the author of the bill and has it in
charge in the senate, and who makes q
specially Of this provision, so that we do
not regard that there is much Of any
chance for the passage Of this or any
bill at this session providing for the
opening Of the reservation to settlement.
The bill in its present shape is very OBJ
jectionable and provides for the OPEN
ing under such conditions as to defer it
to an uncertain period with the likeli-
hood Of an indefinite postponment alto
gether. When this bill was first report
ed all the citizens Of Dakota then in
Washington regarded it with disfavor
and most Of them strongly and vehe-
mently opposed it and endeavored to
have it amended, The promise now is
that it will be amended in the house,
but not in the respect desired.
The fact is there has not been, at any
time during the present session of con.
grcss any good reason to expect or hope
for the passage. in either house Of con-
gress, of any such law as the people Of
the Hills wanted and such as they have
so often been told they were on the
point Of getting.-Spearfish Register.

tional convention, with Messrs. F. +.
Sterns of Rapid City, and d. A. Watson
of Clark county, as alternatives.
The delegates 60 uninstructed, but are
known to be for Tilden and Hendricks.
The following resolutions were adopt
ed as the platform Of the party in Dako-
ia by the convention after strong fight
led by VIM. I. Love to have resolution

lst-The Democratic party of the Ter
ritory Of Dakota in convention assem-
bled, renewing therein pledges Of fideli-
ty to the cardinal principles Of domocra-
cy as expounded by Thomas jefferson
and the other illustrions fathers Of the
Republic. Resolved, That the conven-
ton records it's unqualified approval OF
the measures Of revenue reform intro
duced and supported by majority Of
the democratic members of congress,
and that we urge upon the Democratic
National Convention the adoption Of
strong measures looking to correction
of the present obnoxious tariff system,
and that the luxuries Of life should pay
the expenses Of government and the
duties should be removed from the nec-
essities Of life.
2nd-That the Democracy Of Dakota
Territory recognize the duty we owe to
the union soldiers Of the late war, and
we favor the passage of the bill now
pending before congress to grant them
q warrant Of l6O acres Of land to be TAX
EN- from the public domain.
3rd-That we are in favor Of reform
of the civil service and An economical
administration of public affairs.
4th-That the democratic party is the
foe to all sumptuary laws, believing that
they are encroachments Upon the p.:-
vate rights Of the people and destructive
to true liberty.
5th-That the democratic party is the
champion Of honest money, gold and
silver and paper, convertible into coin,
and the strict maintenance Of the public
faith, both territorial and national.

Under Which King.

A New York dispatch of yester
day gives the gist of an editorial
from the New York Star on Hunt
ington's fight before Congress for
the $40, OOO,O 900 worth of Texan
lard grants:
G. P. Huntington has expended
q great deal Of money in trying to
secure to the Southern Pacific Rail
road the forfeited land grant of the
unbuilt Texas Pacific line. The
land is worth at the lowest estimate
$40, 600. 900, and that is a prize
worth fighting for. Consequently
Huntington declares that he will
resist to the last ditch any attempt
on the part of the Government to
restore the lapsed grants to the pub
lie domain. He announced his in
tention to appeal to the United
States Supreme Court, and pro-
long the litigation for twenty years
if necessary. Huntington's claim
rests entirely on an assignment by
jay Gould to him of an unearned
subsidy and baseless title, but
Huntington's tenacity and conf
dence are exceedingly instructive
and suggestive. He has fed On
meat that inspires him to defy the
power of Congress, and he broadly
intimates that he can count on be-
ing sustained by Republican Su-
preme Court. Congress cannot
pass the Texas Pacific forfeiture
resolution a day too soon. Then
we shall see whether Huntington
and Gould own the Supreme Court
of the United States.

The same rule ought to apply as to

THE DEPA RTMENT OF
JUSTICE.

Congress is making arrangements
to Investigate the Department OF
Justice, which is said to be one of
the most corrupt branches of the
Government. Resolutions have
been adopted by the House of Rep
resentatives, calling on the Post
master General for copies OF all COR
respondence between the Depart
ment of Justice, and the Postofice-
Department, relating to the prose-
cution of persons charged with
fraud in connection with the Star
routes, and statement of the indi-
dividuals found to be Indebted to
the Uuited States, and the amount
of the Indebtedness of each in con-
sequence of such frauds.
The committee intrusted with
this inquiry will endeaver to ascer-
tain why it was that Sanderson.
Parker, Keene, and Grifiths, who
were VIGOROUSLY connected with
the Star Route frauds, were not
indicted as we'll as Brady Dorsey.
Minor, and others. It is intimated
that Sanderson and the others ma
med in connection with him Sc
cured immunity from Indictment by
paying the Department consider
able sum Of money. The belief
is so strong that the Government
compromised with several of the
Star Route thieves for money con-
sideration, that the New York Times
the leading Republican paper OF
the Empire State, demands that the
Star Route business be thoroughly
Investigated, and that the rascals,
whether in the Department of JUS
tice or not, be ferreted out and
held up to public contempt. Hold
ing thieves up to public contempt
amounts to nothing, as the feelings
of a thief are not of that sensitive
nature that contempt will affect
them so long as he is allowed to re-
tain the swag. They need convic-
ton and Imprisonment to work any
pood.

HORROR AT SEA.

ConnibalisDs Of the Greedy Expedition COM
ptetciy Osstd0ne.
A London dispatch says: A case Of misery
at sea which so exceeds in CHASTITY horror the
cannibalism Of the Greedy expedition, lie
brought to light by the arrival at Falmouth of
the German bark Montezuma, from Rangoon,
having on board the survivors of the wreck of
the yacht Mignontee, wrecked in the Indian
ocean, June 18th. Captain Dudley, two sea-
men and a lad named Parker got into small
boat. For provisions they had merely few
turnips and no water. They subsidized for i've
days on the turnips and on the fifth they
caught a small turtle, they had been terribly
tortured by thirst, and on the eighth day
their suffering became so maddening that
they began drinking brine, which prac-
tice they continued until rescued. By
the twelfth day there was absolutely moth
ing left to eat in the boat. The boy, Parker,
was the weakest, and it was evident that he
was slowly dying. The Others hungeringly
watched his symptoms of dissolution. On the
twentieth day, after the entire party had been
without particle of food for eight days, the
captain FASTENED young Parker's death by
opening q vein in his arm. The three sur
vivors eagerly drank the boys blood as 1t
gushed from his arm, and cut his flesh from
his bones and ate it uncooked but with some
degree of moderation, the captain keeping
possession of the carcass and serving out to
himself and sailors only such daily rations as
were necessary to prolOng their wretched ex-
istence in this way until July, when they were
seen and rescued by the Montfzuma
