Special Correspondence Of the tNrIa.OcrAS.
WAsH1NaToS, March l2-Whsn Dako.
ia people are away this city seems like o
deserted village to your. correspondent.
Mccormick has gone, Day has gone,
Mccoy has vanished, Ordwsy johnson
is absent, Col Gale has gone, Bob
Mcbride, Judge Purcell. McHugh, Col.
Benton, ard all the rest are classed with
the beautiful memories Of the present
season. We still have the genial Cap
tain Barr, Of Bismarck, and the hand
some King Of Rapid. Auditor Ward and
Commissioner Mcclure are with US for u
few days only. Soon, all too soon, your
correspondent will be all alone here H.
Dakota's orphan, with his elder brother
Gov.Ordway, and all Dakota will res,
upon us with her Interests ut the capital.
You will soon be doing the spring break
Ing, seeding, and hoeinS. The Dakol;
editors will he drawing big money OH
OF the banks, OF promissory notes to pa.
latter harvest; but Ordway and I VIII
have to 1.-Two by our wits, or else draw !,
our bank accounts, during the sumner.
There will be neither admission NJ.
division by this congress. 1t Is useless
to hope for it; Judging from the presen
outlook. The divisionists have bee,
keeping III their i,oles, we'll KNOWN;
that now is not the time to open theii
barrels. Hugh j.. Campbell sees til.
senatorship in the dim distance. Mellelt.
aces his'n same way. Moody catches

Material. They are thin and wish
washy. Day has hidden his head, de
termined to let Cleveland have his liltl,
day. He will out live him. He wi
out live Church's term of office. II,
will fight when he can win. The ad.
Observation-Disclosures fellows have done
good work for themselves, and for thei.
idea. The divisi"ni>ts had the bulr.
withou. pulling their coats, when %
Kress met. But, The delegates from til
Aberdeen convention Knocked til
pumpkin out OF their pastry. Springer.
the champion of the Union movement,
is not as popular az he vas u year o
more ago. Hence his advocacy Of tlr
omnibus bill ia not az potential as
generally, III Dakota, supposed. Spring.
er is an able man. He is Il protoun,
student Of all questions coming bel"I
the congress. He is u splendid parll,
men,arian. He is up o all parlilnenta y
tricks. His ability is conceded by
friends and foes. But: Springer fri :
ters away his influence upon little ma,
tevs which come up frum time to tim,,
and makes enemic. for himself by tn
wholesale. He makes enemies When l.
might rs we'll be making friends
Hence, his influence is being ~friltere
way u>eiessiy. His iuconSiderate treat.
ment Of Sunset Cox has made for hin
a bitter Ell cinv Of the Littlo- Big-Mn,
from New York; am! every iinporta,,
measure which Springer advocates wi
be bounded down Ivy Cox. The co
greSS has M ADLER man than Cox, no
no better fighter. He is a slayer. tor
He Will oppose admission a. Il whole
and will advocate division. Ifany uthe
nan than Springer were chairman {.
the House connit,ce on Territories. Co
could I've induced to either consent /,
admission az Il whole, or else to kee,
nands oil in tho nSlt. 10 you sc.
You want actual facts. Don't you
We'll, these are the words of truth All
soberness. There is 40 prospect f.,
either admission or division. Unle
better IL 'ieceS. something might h.
accomplished. It i. useless for Abe.
deem, Bismarck, or any other town L
put up money for Umion, or for Huron
or South towns To put up stuff for divi>'
ion. Keep your yreenbacks, boys unit
u more favorablo season. Don't drib j
away to maintain statesmen in Washing
ton who can accomplish nothing f,rth-
for you. You will neAi it later on whe,
the fight is worth the candle. NortI
Dakota especially should keep he,
fingers clear OF tho tire; aud let the othcI
: fellows phil chestnut> out of the fire fn
themselves. ltnt play monkey for th
cat, nor vice Versa. Ii statesmen wan
t come to Washin 5ton aud get thei
nane in the papers, lot them pay TO
their WI pi iding. These are the words
of wisdom. Do act fail to hearken unit,
them. an ! he wise.
1t is useless IL consider the Sioux res

People rus, TO conclusions too often, an

Others were ii lighting senator Dawes be

They have accused the venerable frien,
ofthe 1niians Of being narrow-minded
perverse, and o!,slinate; when he wa

what he conreives to DO his duty. Nc
Clure knows the Senator. verv we'll, an
has always Il worry high respect as we'll a

came upon tho ground, he injured paci
fratory measures aud succeeded in re,
ting the house bill reduced to some
thing like what Senator Dawes would ap
prove. Hence. when the bill passed tn
house. it vas in such condition a. ma
be reasonably he expected to pass III
