Lively Resume of the Situation.

BISMARCK, OAK, Jan. Il The excitement
about the hotels has subsidized and the talk Of
capital removal is no longer in secret caucus.
Delegations have called upon the governor
and have learned from him that he regards
the undertaking very unwise one. He told
them plainly that they were delaying other
and i'm portant legislation TO accomplish a
thing of doubtful propriety, and expressed
the belief that their course would only en-
barass division. He urged them to 20 for
ward with the work of the legislature, briug-
ing all possible pressure to bear upon con-
gress with view to securing division.
The southern members persist in believing
that the north, particularly Bismarck, is in
favor Of admission without division, and they
concluded to show united front in all
things, In order 10 make Bismarck,
"d-d an xious," as one Of them expressed
It, for division. In that respect the measure
proved effective.
Williams rushed to the front with mem
orial for division; the .peoples Of Bismarck
were not slow TO get out and circulate petit
ton which everybody signed, for division, and
the local papers almost broke their uecks
each in desparste attempt 10 get fartherest
to the front in advocating division. The
Tribune said Lounsberry come 10 the con-
clusion two years ago that the territory could
not be divided, aud that be wrote their arti-
cles.
The Journal admitted that there was q time
when It's editor gave it up and advocated ad-
mission as a whole, but when In Washing
ton last winter be found the New England
senators had changed front and were the n
in favor of division, and this gave reason TO
hope and he has since been an uncompro-
missing advocate of division, as his letters
from Washington and bis editorial work this
sum mer show
Gov Ordway has remained perfectly quiet
in relation 10 all public matters, but he, too,
has became q stauDeh advocate Of division,
aud defles all 10 show wherein he has failed
10 promote division. Yesterday morning he
was probably the maddest man on earth. As
great as be is he seemed 10 tower in his rage,
and the Tribun>, which published the infa-
nous bogus dispatch coupling him corruptly
