TERRITORY VS. RYAN,

The event Of the week has been the case
of the Territory against Caleb Ryan of
Boissevain Manitoba and several citizens
of Bottineau, in which the Rev. W II. Wyatt
Hanneth was the prosecuting witness. The
charge against them was an successful
attempt at extortion. 1t occupied two days
in its trial and resulted in the discharge OF
the prisoner and the imposition of costs on
the complainant, on the ground that the
prosecution was malicious and that, too on
the testimony Of the witnesses for the pros
ecution only, and the record Of the pro.
ceedings in the case.

HEAVEN ALONE BETTER THAN
: =" AMERICA ~ ~
WILL DESCEND IN DAKOTA.

The Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage lee
turea in Brooklyn last Friday night
on the "Result Of the Elections" He
gave NJ intimation as to whether his
preferences succeeded, but took occa-
sion: to pay a glowing tribute to
America, its government and national
methods. The following is from his
remarks: 49,.
"Forty million Americans, most of them
FOOLS" was the phraseology employed by
Thomas Carlyle in describing this nation
many years ago, for he declared we wouN
founder on the ballot box. Lord John RA-
sell pronounced us a bubble-bursti&g
nationality for the same reason. Both these
prophets are dead and the republic of which
they were kind enough to write epitaph and
obituary still lives and is more vigorous
and healthy than any day of it's existence.
Meanwhile, twenty-six presidential cleo
tons have occurred, and 106 state elections,
and the old ship of state has not sprung o:
leak or lost a mast or broken q rudder.
Last Tuesday there was a hot election con-
test in all the states but three, and manv:
voters SO anxious that they prayed and
others so mad that they swore, yet three:
days after, all is quiet, some regretting
the harsh words they uttered and others.
counting out the wagers they lost. But
not one drop of blood shed from the Penob-
scot to the Tombigbee or from Sandy Hook
to Golden Gate. The defeated are recover
ing from their disappointment and will be
ready the next time, while the victors can
afford to forget the harsh things said and
set themselves to work to meet the expecta-
tons of their friends and ~disappoint the.
prophecies of their enemies. AT 9 o'clock
last Wednesday morning the pulses of the
people dropped from feverish excitement to
healthful color, and the merchants went to
their counting rooms and mechanics to
their. shops, and lawyers to their offices and
physicians to their patients, although a
great national revolution had taken place, !
and thousands Of Offices changed hands
and millions Of dollars in aggregate salary
have turned into new channels. This
country has been getting better and better
since Christopher Columbus or Ameri-
Gus Vespucci discovered it. Better and
better like it as the years go by. Indeed,
tAere is but one country in the universe
better, and that is heaven. I have heard
its skies are brighter, and it's rivers
richer-banked, and its society more cul-
tured, and its government perfect. But
until l 60 there I do not want to live any,
else than here. If, as many of the
best people think, Christ is going to come
person and set up his reign upon earth,
| believe these American skies will be the
ones that shall roll back at His descent.
and somewhere between the Allegheny and
Rocky mountains and on the center of the
continent, will be the place of his landing.

LET THY SERVANT DEPART
IN PEACE. "

The report of Governor Pierce for
1886, which has recently been issued
and from which we made copious ex-
tracts last week, is a complete epitome
Of that unparalleled development of
which Dakota is the synonym. The
governor" is fortunate in being the
executive of.'so great a territory,
during the period of its greatest pros
perity and growth and the reputation
which Dakota has justly earned, we
may ascribe in all fairness to the hon
esty of purpose which has character
lied the administration of the present
incumbent of the gubernatorial office.
He is the best governor Dakota ever
had and bis career stands out in bold
relief, especially when compared with
that of his Immediate predecessor,
against whom, whether justly or I'M
justly We do not say, the loud voice
Of condemnation and rebuke has been
variously uttered and who has passed
into oblivion, scathed of many men
in respect to his political character as
governor of Dakota. Not so with
Gilbert A. PIERCE; "Well done, good
and faithfulservant,' may with truth
fulness be said of him whose career is
soon about to end.
The following incident, it is not
inappropriate to mention, bearing as
itdoes so pertinently upon the conceded
fact of the enviable estimation in
which the present Governor is held by
all. It was in the month Of May,
hat the writer hereof, while in
Washington, called to pay his respects
to the president and at the same time
to speak some good words for Ziebach
for governor Of Dakota. After listen
ing to allAe had to say, quite atten-
lively, the PRESIDENT, Yankee fashion,
remarked, What's the matter with
Governor Piercef Isn'the giving sat-
~isfaction to the people? Isn't be faith
full to his trust?" In the expressive LAM
guage Of the west, the writer was cup
stump" he hadn'ta word TO say; but
in view Of the record the governor
has made, especially when is consider
ed his active Intervention in behalf Of
the tax-ridden people in many por-
tons Of Dakota, in securing the pass
:lgge Of the act passed at the last SEES
sion Of Congress prohibiting special
iegislation and limiting Indebtedness,

What mfr. Dana Saws.

Nav YORK, Feb. l9--The Tribune will to-mor-
row publish an interview with Charles A. Dana,
editor of the Sun, in regard to the statements
made by General Sherman in an interview at
Pittshurg last night Tie following is the essen
tial part of the talk TT is hardly worth while,n
said Mr.. DANA ito take any notice of what
General Sherman said. There is no logic and no
coherency in his remarks The fact that he
made a compact with General John
stou, undertaking to settle the political
questions involved in the civil war,
and that the government repudated
the compact is too notorious to be discussed.
One of the pnblic reasons for repudiating this
compact, given by the executive at the time,
was that it would re-estabish slavery, and it is
very interesting to fnd that this view of the
case. taken in Washington by President John.
son and Mr.. Stanton. and by General Grant as
we'll was also taken by the confederate Cabinet
at Charlotte. Whether General Sherman him
self favored slavery or not is nothing to the
point.
General Sherman's personal abuse of me is
equally foreign to the subject He says He
tDanal followed our army during the war as a
spy. It was generally understood that he was a
spy This is too absurd. Twas with the army
the representative Of the President,
sent there by him, and it was known
that reported to him, through
the Secretary of War every day. I was Assist
ant Secretary OF War myself, and there was not
general In the army either the Army of the
Tennessee or the Army of the Cumberland, who
did not perfectly we'll understand my position
and tho duties it imposed. From the beginning
to the end was on the best of terms with them
oil, including Sherman. and in all my reports of
military operations do not think there was a
single instance in which had reason to speak of
him with anything but praise. But. fortunately.
I was not present at this convention with
General Johnston. In the case Of General
Grllt. especially. my relations were always of
the most cordial and friendly character, and
when he went down to Chattanooga to take com
snand of the operations there he made special
seouest that should go with him.
