IN MEMORIAM.

DEPARTED this life on April 4th, 1886, at
the family residence on Bayou Rapides,
Mrs. Z. j. ROBERT, relict of the late
Daniel Robert, at the ripe old age Of sew
enty-fve years.
The subject of the above notice was
born in the year 1910 in Shelbyville, Shell
hy Co., Ky., and was married there in
1885, and she has resided here continuous
" since that time. The varied scenes and
incidents of half a century had passed UNI
der her notice, and the history Of this Pa
IRISH through times of overlooking wealth
and prosperity, through war and pesti-
lence, and thus far into tho new regime,
was known to her.
She was amiable, kind and generous,
and discharged with unwavering patience
and christian forbearance the sometimes
necessarily onerous duties of mother, wife,
friend and neighbor so well that she has
surely gone to reap the rich reward of du-
ty we'll done, and to share the heavenly
Joys that wait upon well spent life.-
Surely when such christian mother goes
to tho "Great Unknown" beyond the river
of life there should he no tears of regret
to denote a wish to keep her from her
eternal inheritance.
The hand of friendship may trace these
lines to perpetuate the memory of her
many womanly virtues and to record for
the benefit Of those who remain, the SIM
pie yet eloquent history of a life adorned
by all the christian graces, and of death
which is robbed of its horrors, because the
"Grim Destroyer could only pull down
the earthly tabernacle to elevate the
soul to realms where he can come no
more, and where to suchsas was this gen
tie christian mother th4re are no more
trials to bear, no morei battles to win
against temptation and 4vil, no more sor-
rows to face, and where khe weary are at
rest. Twas such christian mother that
we laid in the tomb, and Of whom it is the
same privilege of the writer to indite this
feeble tribute to worth and virtue. She
rests in peace and the silent stars will
keep willing guard over her last resting
place, and the weeping willow now waves
its mournful dirge over her lonely grave.
DIED I'm New York City, April 9th,
1886, NELLIE HOWARD THOMPSON,
wife of Joseph Giraird, aged 20 years.

Did Manning and Cleveland Quarrel

The conumdrum now is, has there been
rupture between the President and Sec
rotary Manning, and did Mr.. Manning
tender his resignation before he was stric-
ken DOWN. There are collateral circum-
stances which suggest an affirmation OF
both suggestions. A gentleman who was
in Colonel Lamont's room when the Cabi-
net meeting was held which Secretory
Manning last attended, says he heard high
words between Mr.. Manning and the Pres
ident, and that the latter left the White
House under considerable excitement
This informant says he had no desire to
be an eavesdropper, but that the points of
dispute, whatever they may have been,
were such as to have excited Mr.. Cleve-
lands temper and Mr.. Manning's resent
ment. From another source it is learned
that the President charged Secretary
Manning with the alteration Of the text
of a letter which had been prepared at
the White House for transmission to the
Senate Finance Committee, having refer
ence to certain nominations for collector
ships Of Internal Revenue. The latter was
originally drafted at the Treasury De-
partment, as the report goes, and was
submitted to the President for his APPROX
al. The President changed the text some
what, and before he returned it to Secre-
tary Manning, he read it to certain
Louisiana Senator, who called upon him.
The story is now that Secretary Manning
altered the letter, and because of this war
of words and the rupture between himself
and the President, it is further reported
that Secretary Manning did tell the Presi-
dent, when he left the White House, that
he would forward his resignation. Wheth-
er he carried out this intention before he
was overtaken with almost his death
stroke is not known. However, the fact
is, the President has not been near him
since his sickness, and the belief is that
Mr.. Manning will never take charge Of
the Treasury portfolio again.-[Washing-

WILL CHURCH GETIT?
Specul ton IL eg ardias the Probable
Successor Of Gov. Pierce.

HURON. Oak, Nov. 11.-There seems to
be growing conviction among the Demo-
Gratis of this locality that Gov. Pierce's sue
cessor will be either F. NJ. Ziebach or
Judge l.. K. Church, with the chances con-
siderably in favor of the latter gentleman.
So far as ability is concerned, either Of
them is competent to fill the posi-.
ton as governor of Dakota, and
either would be quite acceptable
to Dakota Democrats. There is
no doubt but that Hon. NJ. H. Day has
been offered the commission and declined
to accept 1t is. however, for Mr.. Day to
say who shall be appointed, and the friends
of Judge Church are urging his name with
great earnestnesS and are more confident
now than few weeks since that he will re-
ceive the appointment. His recent visit
to New York strengthens the belief that
his friends there are working in his
behalf, and that he has also the indorSe-
nent of certain Illinois congressman, who
heretofore declined to give their influence
to other than man from their own state.
So sure are some of Judge Church friends
of his appointment, that already guesses
and speculation as to who will succeed to
the judgeship are INDUCED in. ''At the
most, but short time will elapse before
Dakota will have Democratic governor.
remarked a prominent Democrat to your
correspondent last evening, ''and he will be
a man in every way qualified and cOmpe-
tent for the place. and he will please the
people of both political parties, too"

ther Admission as a Whole.
To the Editor of the Globe:
The action of the Democratic territorial
convention held recently at Aberdeen has
been given so many constructions by the
divisionists and those in their employ. and
some of the Republican papers having
urged that the Democratic nominee was
Just as acceptable to them as Judge Gif
ford. the Republican nominee, the anti
division, or union Democrats represented
by the late territorial committee in their
action at Mitchell, have decided to organize
the cleveland Central Union club" with
auxiliary clubs in each county of the ter
ritory, to include all who are opposed to
dismemberment of the territory. and who
are in favor of its early admission as q
whole. The executive committee. consist
ing of one from each judicial district. with
chairman and secretary at large, is now
being selected, and the platform, constitu-
ton and by laws will be formally adopted
at an early meeting Of the executive COM
mittee, and will be given to the public
through the press. Nearly all OF the lead
ing admission Democrats Of the territory
are now interested in the organization of
this club, and numbers among men,
bers its leading and prominent
business men of the territory.
The executive committee, the members
of which are being selected, will complete
the organization of the central club for the
territory and organize the auxiliary county
clubs. and will eDdeayOr at as early date
as possible to organize in all the county
seat towns of the territory, with view to
having full and fair discussion of this
important question, and many of the ablest
speakers of the territory, as well as others
/ from the outside who are earnestly inter-
ested in this work, will be engaged by the
executive committee to address the public
and enlarge the membership of this club.
| The organization of this club is in no way.
nor should it be in any wise considered, as
a usurping power to the present territorial
Democratic central committee. as it will
earnestly work and cooperate with the
present party committee, and in all things
| work hand in hand with them to the best
| interests of the party. the principal purpose
of the Cleveland club being to advocate and
secure the admission of Dakota territory as
| a whole, and to prevent the adoption by
| congress Of the revolutionary schemes of
Campbell, Moody & Co., in the present or
any other session of congress, and to pre-
sent to the people and our legislative
bodies the facts and reasons why our terri
tory should be admitted into the "Union of
States" at an early day and without any
dismemberment Yours truly,
