Deadwood Times: Advices from

tion made by leading citizens. of twenty
five acres of ground and $4,000 in cash,
in consideration of the building CT the
Deadwood branch of the F., E. & NJ. v.
railroad through that city, has been ac-
cepted by Mr.. Hall for the railroad COM
pany, contingent upon the immediate
fultillment of the stipulation. The

rate OF $1,000 an acre from the

for bonus of $4,000. If the PROPOSE

through the city via st. Joe street, to

A Democratic View OF the Mitchell
Protest.

A Democratic View Of the Mitchell
Protest.
Scotland Citizen: We publish in an
other column the address formulated by
the democratic territorial committee at
its meeting at Mitchell last week. In
this address the committee declares that
it will not call convention, whereat the
party through its delegates, might put
itself on record on the issues which
we're deemed sufficient for q meeting of
the committee, therefore it must be in
ferred that the fragment of the commit
tee which met at Mitchell assumed the
right to speak for the party and declare
its policy. This is not the usual mode
adopted to develop the sentiment Of q
party, and the work of the committee
Will not receive much con-
sideration or respect. There can be no
question about the right and prop1ety
of the committee holding meetings and
giving expression to the individual or
collective views of its members, and if
the object of publishing the address was
simply to make public these opinions
then the committee has committed no
improperly, but if the sentiments
(whether they are good or bad) EN-.
bodied in the address are intended as an
expression of the views of the democracy
of the territory, the committee has over
stepped the bounds of its authority. 1t
is probable, and we believe it to be d
fact, that large majority of the dem
ocrats of Dakota we're and are opposed to
the Sioux Falls conven-
ton, regarding it as an improp-
er method of presenting to con.
gress the wishes Of the people in regard
to division and statehood; but it does not
follow that because they do not support
this movement that they are opposed to
the ostensible objects of the late con.
stitutlonal convention. For good and
sufficient reasons large majority of the
party in southern Dakota, and consid.
erable proportion in northern Dakota,
are in favor of division of the terri.
tory as proposed in the pending consti-
tuition, regarding the accomplishment of
that object as of greater Importance than
immediate admission, provided the lat
ter event meant the admission of the
territory as whole. This view is not held
on account of hostility to the northern
section. but because the existing terri
tory is too large for ono state, and that
divided it can be better and more
economically managed. If the commit
tee had deeired an expression of views
OF the party upon this and other issues,
q call for q convention would have been
promptly and cheerfully complied,with,
aud the fragment OF the committee
saved the trouble and labor OF shoulder
ing the opinions Of the whole party. The
result OF the committees action 10 about

The following story is told by James
Il. Randall, editor of the Augusta (Ga.)
Chronicle: He attended one day color

OF bis sermon the minister ordered q

The GovernOrship.

CLEfELAAO6 q LAW PABTNEH.
Fargo, OAK, Oct. 2l-Private advices
from Washington are to the effect that
Attorney Bissell, of Buffalo, N. Y, will
be appointed governor of Dakota, and
the probability Is that he will be named
before the week closes. He was Presi-
dent Clevelsnd's law partner, and was
the gentleman mainly instrumental in
securing the appointment of Capt. Mar
alta as marshal.
PIERCE MAY REMAIN.
Mitchell, OAK, Oct. 2l-From infor.
nation received here it would seem that
Gov. Pierce is not likely to be required
to ''look for another place" this winter
unless something should develop to his
discredit. A democrat, who has resently
been the recipient of official favors q,
the hands of the administration, has re.
turned from Washington, aud reports
several short conversations with the
president touching upon Dakota ap.
pointmsnts. Regarding the governor
ship, the president is reported to have
said:
shall settle the question definitely
within few days. Strong charges have
been filed against Gov. Pierce and
shall investigate them. shall then say
one of two things: That the charges
warrant Gov. Pierce's removal, or that
he will not be removed.

What Dakota must have to insure the
success of the movement for division
and statehood is full vote of the peo-
pie and an overwhelming majority in
favor Of the constitution. A light vote
will be death blow to the movement, q
fact which the Ordwsy democrats in
their Mitchell meeting recognized and
hence advised their party not to vote at
all. The men who believe in this move
ment must get 10 work in earnest and
rouse public sentiment. A great dan.
ger exists in the fact that there is 30 lit.
tie opposition. Nine.tenths Of the
voters are favorable to division and
statehood; but they must vote their sea-
timents on the third day of November if
they would give strength to the cause
and make certainty of success.

lower house. Several measures proposed
by the ministry were defeated, but it
was believed that owing to division
upon religious differences that the lib
erals would not at the present session
have working majority. But it appears
that the moderate liberals, under
Christen Berg, and those of the literary
left, under DR.. E. Brandes, are still act.
ing together against the king, and that
they have precipitated an agitation that
may compel the king to yield and rec

A dispatch from Huron represents that
many leading democrats in Beadle
county are indignant at the action of
the democratic convention held there on
the 2lst, which passed resolutions to
oppose the constitution. They hold
that the convention did not express the
sentiment of the party, and they do not
propose to be made cats paw of by the
enemies of the division movement.
