BISMARCK, Oak Special Telegram, March
3.-That the threats uttered occasionally
during the pastsix weeks, by southern men,
bers in the heat of debate, that the north had
not yet heard the last of the capital removal
were intended to be carried out, was proven
today by the resurrection from the special
house committee of the bill relocating the
capital at Pierre. The committee who have
had charge of The bill fer several weeks, last
consisted of Messrs. southwick, Huntington,
Miller, Mark Ward and Williams. The first
three gentlemen reported the bill back, REQ
ommending that it pass with the amendment
t'at the capital should not be removed from
Bismarck to Pierre until the LIST of May,
1883. Messrs. Ward and Williams sub
o olitsfs to the ns''1 bill. A ep motion "nl Was
at once made to adopt the report, this being
followed by anoSher to indefinitely postpone
further consideration of the bill, aud this in
turn by a motion to lay the motion to indefi-
nitely postpone on the table. call of the
house was then ordered, and the last motion
carried by a vote OF 20 to %. OF the south
ern members, Messrs. Clark. Huntington.
Johnson, Huston, Langen, Dewoody and
clark Ware, voted in the negative. No
sooner had the vote been announced than a
bombshel was fired into the ranks of the
South DaEotians in the form OF n resolution
offered by Mark Ward. charging W. S Wells
and v. P. Prentice of Pierre with
MAKING CORRUPT OFFERS
to members, and paying them money to vote
for the capital removal bill. The resolution
The council went into executive session at
3 O'Clock to-day, and confirmed the nomlna-
tion of Speaker Rice as attorney general.
The opposition did not number more than
half a dozen votes, and is said to have ON
from the uorth. Gov. Pierce's motion in
nominating Rice appears to have been to
select a man upon whom The south had
united, and Judging from The fact that Rice
secured their suppoTt for the speakership,
the appointment YVES made on that ground.
The only criticism THAT is heard on the ap-
pointment is as to fice'S qualifications for
the position. The council concurred to-day
in the house to the appropria-
tion bills, with the exception of the Brook
