SOUTH STATE LEGISLATURE E.
Both Houses Adjourn Subject to Call
by the Governor.


Special to the Globe.
HURON, Oak. Dec. 17.-Both houses of the
state legislature adjourned at 1880 this aft
ernuon to reconvene at the call of the gov
ernor. lieutenant governor and speaker, as
provided by the constitution. Joint resolu-
lions were passed complimentary to the
officers and employees. The governor also
compIimented both bodies on the efficiency
and thoroughness of their work. Thanks
were rendered the citizens of Huron for
their cordial greeting and entertainment and
to Helm & Walters for the free use of the
Grand opera house for the sessions; also to
the state executive committee for the faith
full discharge of their duties. Most of the
members departed for their homes on the
afternoon trains. Canvass among the MEM
bers evinced their determination and en-
thusiasm in the work undertaken and gave
assurance that no such thing as failure was
entertained. Though the sessions have
been comparatively unimportant to the pub
lie. the coming together of so intelligent
and honorable set of men and the free
interchange of thoughts and opinions give
each more thorough knowledge of what
is to be done to accomplish the great end
sought. The confidence in the ability of
these men to carry out their plans is not
doubted and no legislature ever convened
has had more hearty cooperation and
Endorsement of the people than had the first
legislature of the state of Dakota.

Dakota Day in the Senate.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 17.-1t was field
day for Dakota in the senate. Harrison
was vigorous in his argument favorins the
ratification of the action Of tile Sioux Falls
convention. He cited precedents relative
to the admission of several states, laying
stress upon California and Michigan. He
named several states. as California, Michi-
gan.and Oregon, where there has been no
enabling acts. Senator Butler. who was
the mover of the resolution, did not enter
largely into the discussion. 1t is probable
that Senator Edmunds will support the
resolution. Senator Mcmillan cited the
case of Minnesota as almost exactly par
alel in its state formation with the recent
procedure in Dakota. Delegate Clifford sat
upon sofa in the senate during the debate.
He is committed to this South Dakota
scheme. The Baltimore American Repub-
lcan says:
AN ESTEEMED CORRESPONDENT
writes to inquire if Dakota is already state.
He has been led to believe by the Huron dis
patch of yesterday which spoke of the state
legislature, that the territory. or portion of
it, had already completed the forrnalities Of
Introduction into the Federal Union. There
is no formula prescribed by law for prelimi-
naries regulating the admission Of state
into the Union. There must be sufficient
population to entitle the new state to at least
one member of congress. but even this does
not give the citizens of a territory the abso-
lutte right to admission. The entire matter is
within the control of congress.
The Republican this morning remarks:
Denial of admission to Dakota would be
simply an outrage on a great. intelligent and
progressive community. No party can afford
to oppose Dakota's admission. and the De-
mocracy has done many things that it could
not afford.
