Bismarck, I'. T., Dec. 18,1577.
There is a diversity of opinion aiming
the Republicans in Washington as 10
•what course the President will pursue
now in reference to the ^jew crk. cus­
tom house officers. The majority beiievr
that the President will invite a furiher
oontest with the Senate by sending in
new nominations, white the minority en­
tertain the opinion that the president
will not yield, but will promptly trans­
mit new names to the Senate. The lat­
ter argue that the matter ha gone so far
that the president cannot with self res
pect yield to Mr. Conkling, but must
continue the struggle until the fact is es­
tablished conclusively that the Senate
will not consent to replace Mr. Conkling'e
friends. X:-t a few Republicans are ef
the opinion that Mr. Evarts will be com­
pelled to retire ironi the cabinet, inas­
much as the action ol 'he ~enate must
be regarded as xpres5i:ig a .vant cf con­
fidence in liis juegment, he being res­
ponsible for the attempt oust Collec
or Arthur and A. B. Cornell from their
offices.
A board of army officers, consisting of
General Hancock, Co'onel Stanley and
Colon.l W. Lf. Whipple, will meet in
New York on the 8th of January, to set­
tle the old dispute as to what coustitutes
a battle. The questionssubTnitted by the
war department are these:
First—What hall be considered as a
"battle" *vithin the spirit of the regula­
tion
Second—-What port'on of a regiment
must be engage in a battle to entitle
the regiment to have inscribed
upon its colors and upon the army regis
ter the name o: the battle
Third—What record shou'd be made
in the cases of regiments consolidated, as
in 1815 and 1869?
It was for the purpose of arriving at a
definite settlement of these questions that
the order was issued again.-: putting the
battle record cf re jim nts into the army
register, which provoked :u:.ne comment
at the expense of the secretary of war.
Xhe Sitting Bull Commission report
j-.ets forth that so long as Sitting Bull is
on the border he will be a continual men­
ace to the frontier, co-operating with
predatory bands, encouraging incursions
on white settlements, and be a disturb­
ing element generally. General Terry
particularly points out the necessity for
having him promptly removed. This
will be the subject of diplomatic 'corres­
pondence between the State Department
and the Canadian authorities, an5 the
latter will undoubtedly require Sitting
Hull and his followers to locate at a con­
siderable distance over the line. A copy
of the report lias been referred to the
•Jecretary of Slate for his action.

NORTHERN DAKOTA.
What Judge Barnes Thinks of it
Bismarck's Population in a Few
Years and its Commercial Import­
ance of any River.City North
of Omaha.
Hon. A. H. Barnes, presiding Judge
the third judicial district, comprising
what is known as Northern Dakota,
reached Yankton Saturday' evening for
the purpose of attending- the supreme
court which will convene to-morrow.
The Judge has resided in northern Da­
kota about four years, and has watched
its growth and studied its character and
resources with considerable interest. He
now claims for it ar. agricultural tuture
second to no portion of the northwest.
He believes five sixths of the area em­
braced in that division of the territory to
be good arrable land and capable of pro
ducing average crops, \vh:!e a large pro­
portion is of the vory best. Concerning
the prospects for Northern Dakota towns
the Judge predicts thai Bimarck wiil
reach a population of IO.OCO people
within a very few years and intimates
that it will surpass anv town above Oma­
ha in commercial importance. Fargo,
he believes, must become one ot the
mo'ft important grain shipping points in
north west. Three we.eks ago he
led at one time in the streets of that

Judge Kidder- has presented in the
House the memorial of the Legislative
Assembly of Dakota, praying for the di­
vision of the Territory and the orga, iza
tion of a new Territory out of the north­
ern part. Refep-ed to the Committee
•n the Territories, and ordered to be
printed. Mr. Kidder also presented a
memorial of the?Legislative Assembly of
Dakota against the establishment of a
Territory out of the Black Iliils which
was read a first and second lime, relened
to the Committee 011 Territories and
ordered to be printed.
The Ashland (Wis.) Press announces
that an immediate survey will be made
by the Wisconsin Central between Ash­
land and the Northern Pacific, with a
view of an extension of the Central to
some point of junction, on the Northern
Pacific. The Press anticipates th« speedy
construction of the road and thinks it will
make Milwaukee the virtual terminus of
the Northern Pacific and do big things
for Ashland.
The libel suit recently instituted by Gov.
Pennington of Dakota, against Grisby &
Smith, propriotors of the Sioux Falls
Pantagrajjh, has been compromised, the
latter to publish an explanation in which
they will concede that the Governor was
never engaged in any improper transac­
tions in ^Territorial warrants, as was
charged by them, and for which they
were indicted.
Delegate Kidder has introduced in'the
House a bill guaranteeing to the people
of the territories a Republican form of
government and to secure them in the

ti»is was not an extraordinary occasion,
IJuildings were being erected even at
this season to accommodate the increas­
ing demand. The public domain is tast
passing into the possession of actual set­
tlers. About all the railroad lands con­
tiguous to the road from Fargo to Bis­
marck have aiready been appropriated,
and the rush for quarter sections contin­
ues unabated. There is at present barely
an acre cf unclaimed land in Cass county
and the aggressive pioneers are pushing
out in all directions doting the plains
and valleys with comfortable homes.
An agricultural fever has broken out in
the vicinity of Bismarck and thousands
of acres in Burleigh county have been
turned over during the past season.
The Press and Dakotian records these
evidences of progress and prosperity
with great pleasure. Time and experi­
ence are exploding the popular belief
that northern Dakota was largely a bar
ren waste, without productive capacity,
and demonstrating that it embraces an
empire of fertile acres which need but
the intelligence and energy ot the Anglo
Saxon to make them among the most
productive of any in our broad domain.
N. P. ULND SALES.
Pioneer-Press.
The Northern Pacific railroad com­
pany sold land in November to the
amount of 65,732 acres for $284,680.40.
There were seventy different purchasers
with the exception of a half dozen who
bought for the purpose of opening large
farms of from 2,000 acres upwards.
The remaining sales were in small lots
of less than an average of 600 acres
each, and to parties buying almost ex­
clusively for settlement and cultivation.
The absorption of government lands
along the' line of this road by actual
settlers keeps pace with the railroad
land sales'^ the Fargo, Dakota, U. S.

November 25,523 acres taken by 178
