Success at Grow Creek.

The Indian commissioners have left the
Crow Creek agency for lower Brule. They
have made arrangements for the reception
OF all the signers who may present chem
selves during their absence. They leave with
the satisfaction of having left behind them
an army of active workers among the In
dams, who are certain to bring comparative
" every one eligible to sign finally. The list
is steadily increasing, and the most crafty
ing feature about the result of the work is
that those who are arrayed upon the side of
OF the commissioners are the mostintelligent,
industrious and progressive element upon
the reservation.
In compliance with the request of Chief
Dog Back the commissioners held another
council. Chief White Ghost and several
Others delivered speeches, but they simply
rehashed their former speeches and reiterated
that they were not ready to sign. ChiefDog-
Black then delivered a good speech in favor
OF the BILL at the conclusion Of which he

h~eadquarters OF the commissioners, where
the judge delivered the most eloquent and
touching appeal to the Indians that has
YET deem uttered. He reviewed their past
and present life and what their future would
be if they accepted this act. The time had
come when their old customs had to be
thrown aside and their roaming and un-
settled life abandoned and the habits, Gus
toms and characters of the whites adopted.
The school is the c~ivilizer and the provision
for educational facilities having expired IN
the treaty of 1860 it was necessary that
further provision be made and the act.now
under discussion did this grandly and com
pletely. 1t furnished them with farms.
houses, horses, cattle, clothing and every
thing necessary to happiness; contentment
and prosperity.
The speech of the Judge had a marked ef-
feet upon his hearers and they left the circle
active workers for the measure. The result
Of their work is beginning to be noticed in the
stragglers who are continually presenting
themselves for enrolment. The commission

dams are scattering out to, their homes and
when they are away from the influence OF the
chiefs, who are afraid that the Sioux bill viii
depose them, the work will be speedily finished
at this agency.

Some Of the Republican, papers think that
Port Huron, in Michigan, is q mighty small
village for the Old Roman to go to deliver
his, great campaign speech. They think it

of the town of Thebes he said that he should

ex-senator Thurman has consented, at the
urgent aud repeated request of some of the
democratic leaders, to agree to allow his
name to be used as candidate for that
place. Many of The Southern members of
Congress, however, seem to be so bent on
having Assistant Postmaster General Stew

any body else. Mr.. Stevenson's strength
