He has not been feeling well for some time, and the intensely heated term has retarded recuperation. He is not confined to his house, being out almost everyday in the cooler horn's. The republican central committee for Dakota territory consists .of the follow ing gentlemen: George H. Walsh, of Grand Porks, chairman 1st district—E. E. Cunningham, John Patton, Frank Moulton 2d district—G. T. McCoy, J. ]!. Gamble, Jauiea Baynes ~3c\ district— Jiulson La Moure *E .Iklgerly, Mr. Ball 4th district—P. W. Wildt, D. C.

Wiley delegates to the Sioux Falls* con vention and instdieted them to' use their endeavors to secure the nomination of H. S. Back as the democratic candidate to congress. Mr. Barker, of the Fargo Times, an anti-Back nihil, afterwards or ganized another convention and elected anti-Back delegates to Sioux Falls. A statement has been prepared by •Professor Parter, of the census bureau, which shows the amount of repudiation of the southern states., In brief, it is as sfollows: In July, l&ll, the iotnl state .debt of all the states of the union, •cording to Albert Gallatin's report, was *.$188,610,000. In 1870 it amounted to ,8352,866,G98. In 1880, by wholesale re pudiation the southern states, it has been reduced to $226,445,806, a clean steal, chiefly, of $126,420,892. The Marine City disaster revives anew in Washington, the discussion of steam boat inspection. During the decade s-from 1860 to 1870, there were 21,024liulls -and boilers inspected, and 7,008 lives lost through accidents, or one life for every 284 vessels. During the nine years :-.'.of the present decade, from 1870 to the close of last year, there had been 34,834 '. hulls and boilers inspe^ed, and 2,136 lives lost, or only/one-life for every 163 vessels, showing a remarkable improve ment in the safety of steamboat travel. The Yankton Press of convention day date, speaking of Caldwell, of the Sioux Falls Panta 'graph, *ays: "Since he became a Pettigrew man he has became bald-headed and wants to be an angel." How is it with the Yankton Press peo -pie?—Sioux Journal. Please don't repeat that question. We are al .ways ready for a joke, but this baldness of Cald well's is really becoming a serious matter. It prevented him from standing on his head after the seventh ballot.—Yankton Press. It was the seventh ballot, we believe, that stood the Yankton Press upon its head. The business may have become serious, but it has its funny side, and at this distance laughing ought to be allowable.—SiouxCity Journal. The acrobatic feat which the Yankton Press accomplished is known in sawdust parlance as a "summersault," and it is much more difficult than standing on one's head. To accomplish it successfully at is necessary to flop clear over without a rest. The recent statement of the United States treasurer of the liabilities and assets of the treasury for August contains an item of 819,767,088.25, being United States treasury notes held to secure the outstanding circulation of national banks, reducing, in liquidation or failed. Of this amount $817,981.45 stands for security for the issue of MIed bauks. When a national bank breaks, its bonds, held for security by the treasury, are taken up and the amount of the notes out are replaced with greenbacks. As fast as these bank notes are sent in they are destroyed and an equal amount from the security given in exchange for them. It is evident that a certain proportion of these national bank notes will be de stroyed or lost, and never be presented. In this case the money deposited to "secure them becomes a perpetual fund not available, and it is a question what is to be. done with it in the future. Hon. 11. F. Pettigrew, of Sioux Falls, republican candidate for delegate to congi ess, arrived in Yankton last night and has been spending the day among our people. He comes among us desir ing to wipe out all the animosities of the past and to start the campaign with the best possible feeling among all the re publicans of Dakota. He now occupies the position of one who represents party interests throughout all bf .Dakota, and t— will, after election, represent the people of Dakota, regardless of political prefer tfl^Wices. His changed relation brings with |||:^it a desire to discard sectional differences a~! and to- place himself in the attitude of one who labors for the good of all. We find him ready to meet the citizens of iiff Yankton as a territorial candidate should meet tliem—with the olive branch in his hand and willing and anxious to go more than half way in his efforts to heal the differences of the past. Ho has the of the republican tiokot nt heart, nlt only in the territorial field, but in all the legislative, judicial district and county contests which will be inaugu rated before the territory is a month old- Upon this luisis he desires to open the campaign and it is probable that Xank ton county will be mnde the scene of the first active work. In this effort Yankton tioiihty republicans should give their can didate hearty and enthusiastic support. H00SIER DRUMMERS. TOicy €all Upon (lie Next President, Atflkc VHlin a Specelt mid KcceJvo One in K«»- Mentor, O., Sept. 4.—At 12:30 to-dny a party of commercial travelers from Indi ana, with their wives, numbering in all ninety-five persons, came on special em's to Mentor and called at Gen. Garfield's house to pay their respects. It. was a very intelligent company, representing every leading branch of the commercial bjisi'nees. ji Tnev assembled on the lawn in front of the house, when the general appeared at the door.and Mr. G. (J. Web ster was introduced and delivered oil behalf of his associates the following address:- Gen. Garfield: I have been delegated by these friends, who have journeyed so far to see you, to say a word in explana tion of our presence here. Let me ex press the hope that you will not consider us trespassers. We do not come hero as followers of iny particular political par ty,lidr do we come to testify to your services to the country we call our own, as that would bo both presumptuous and needless, for we believe that not only a living nation but nations yet unborn will testify to these things, but we come as commercial men, representing many business interests in the state of Indiana. Many of us nre yet young men, having but tairly begun the great battle of life, and we are here to-day to pay our re spects to you as one who by his own ef forts has raised himself from a poor and lowly boy to a pioud position in the land, and one in the history of whose life we recognize many grand lessons for ourselves and a constant source of en couragement to thousands of yonug men in the land who, beset, by adverse cir cumstances, are struggling ngainst those circumstances up out ot the depths of poverty towards abetter manhood. As Americans, we do not believe the Al mighty creates one man better or great er than another, but we do believe and know that men are born who take their destiny in the hollow of their own hands and, with God's aid, pursue the right and shape that destiny to great ends, and as such a one we greet you to-day, and now, with your permission, I will introduce the commercial travelers of Indiana also their wives and their sweet hearts. Gen. Garfield then responded as fol lows Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen: I can hardly say that you have taken me by surprise, for I was informed some days ago that a party of commercial gen tlemen from Indiana would call upon me to-day but I am very pleasantly surprised at the large number of ladies and gentlemen who have honored me by this visit. I have listened with deep in terest to the address of your chairman, and I give you one and all my thanks for the compliment which this visit im plies. Your chairman informs me that you represent nearly all the leading branches of commercial industry in the state of Indiana and some of the neigh boring states. Few people understand how vast are the enterprises represented by our internal trade. Almost every form of human labor contributes its pro ducts to the'trade that fills our thorough fares and supplies our communites with the necessities ol life, and all are moved by the great mainspring of labor. Per mit me to illustrate its magical powers. Eighty-four years ago a company of for ty-two surveyors landed at the mouth of Conneaut creek, a little stream that marks the boundary between Pennsyl vania and Ohio. They landed on the 4th day of illy, 1796, and commenced their work by celebrating our national independence. There are many now living who were in their teens, when this Company of surveyors began their work at that time. From the Pennsylvania line to the Detroit hardly smoke ascended from the white man's cabin. The western reserve was an uu broken wilderness. Three millions of acres had just been purchased from the state ot Connecticut for forty cents an acre. To-day the western reserve fur nishes happy and comfortable homes to more than three-fourths of a million of intelligent people. Excepting the new French settlements, the state of Indiana was itself an unbroken wilderness, but it is now a great and prosperous commun ty. Thousands of miles beyond you the prairie wilderness and mountain slopes smile with peace, prosperity and the at tended blessings of civilization. What has wrought this wonderful transforma tion The magical power of human la bor. Through manifold struggles and danger, through sufferings and blood, these blessings have been secured to us, and I trust will be continued to our chil dren's children. [Applause.] I venture to notice another fact: Every stroke of the ax, every blow of she hammer, every turn of the wheel, every purchase and every sale, in short every effort of labor is measured by the standard of value fixed and declared by national law. I congratulate you as commercial men that your government has at least restored to its people the ancient standard of value and has made it possible for our people everywhere to secure the blessing which a bountiful harvest and prosperous times have brought them by placing onr na tional finances on a solid basis of specie value. This fact forms no inconsiderable part of the security with which the great business transactions of, the nation are carried on, and you,as its representatives, as well as ftll the laborers of the land are the sharers of these benefits and this se curity. [Applause]. Ladies and gentlemen, accept my most cordial thanks for your visit. I welcome you to my home and to the kind greet ing of my family. [Applause.] The company was then introduced to the general and to his family,-.wife and mother. They were cordially and pleas antly received. They strolled through the orchards and grounds, and before taking their leave the glee club, which they had extemporized on the way sang several songs. At 1:30 they took leave and went down the farm lane to the railrond, where they took the train and returned to the west. REV. GEOBOEH. THAYEB, of Bouibon, Ind., known tor every one in the vicinity as a most influential citizen and Chris tian Minister of the M. E. Church, says: "I wish every body to know that I con sider that both myself and wife owe our lives to SHILOH'S CONSUMPTION CUBE." Drs. Matchett & France, Physicians and Druggists of the same place, say: "It is having a tremendous sale, and is giving satisfaction such as nothing else has done. For Lame Baok, Side, or Chest, dont fail to use Shiloh's Porus Plaster, We recommend these remedies. THE MST AND THE PRESENT. Fml nniiglatM and Hid Political Work la Indian*. The Hon. Fred' Douglass is meeting with enthusiastic audiences every where ho appears in Indiana. A great gather it welcomed him at Fountain City on Tliuipdny, and liis reception was a per fect ovation. Fountain City, years ugo. known as Newport, was "the headquar ters of the Underground railroad," and Mr. Douglas, forty and more years ago, received such kindness from the mon of Newport as to make their memory over dear to him. Speaking of their kindness to him and the other fleeing slaves, he was deeply moved. He was introduced by Mr. Payuo in some appropriate rc markp. Wo quote from the Richmond Palladium a few points qf his eloquent and touching speech. I have appeared before the American people during the past forty years in dif ferent attitudes and conditions, and I have been more or less affected by tlio conditions by which I was surrounded. I have appeared before you as a slave, as a fugitive from bondage, and, thanks to the indefatigable labors of you abolition ists and the magnanimity of the repub lican party, I stand hero to-dny, no longer a slave but a free man not a living chattel, but a citizen. A citizen of a nation whose peer is hard to find. A citizenship that means something. No nation on the earth can claim such a future as our own. All nations of the earth are tributary to us. Their wealth, their works of manufacture, of art, and science, pour in upon us and will pour in upon us for generations, provided we are true.to the principles that underlie our present prosperity. Mr. Payne has named the names of men who helped to lay- the foundation of that prosperity. I knew them, and knew them well. I knew Levi Coffln, I knew Benjamin Stanton, I knew Arnold Buffuiu, and I knew Joel Parker. To these men, and those who labored with them in the cause of freedom and right, do we owe our elevation from slavery to manhood. This man, Mr. Jenkins, who sits here beside 'me, kftows what that slavery was. He saw me at Richmond with that hateful rope around my neck, with my hands pinioned to my back, my feet sore and bleeding, and a sheriff's officer riding before me, drag ging me to a prison. He saw the slave trader feeliug my muscles, and examin ing my teeth as I lay in the jail. He saw me on the block he saw me knocked off to the highest bidder. And all be cause I tried to break my shackles and be a man. Could I have foreseen this day forty and six years ago, the gravel would not have been so sharp, and the road would not have been so long. If I could have believed then that, in the proces sion that marched over from the depot this morning I should sit in the best car riage and ride at the head of the proces sion and have seen the thousands of up. turned and sympathetic laces that are be fore me, I could have taken hope, even in the darkness and despair of the slave pen. I do not know what to say to you I have spoken in Boston, in New 1vork, in England, before immense audiences in nearly all kinds of places, but never be fore have I felt such great embarrass ment as I do to-day, for the facts before me bring back a flood of memories and remind me painfully of the past. Some of yon old men are curious to know how old I am now—everybody who sees my gray hairs is curious to know that—and I must confess that I am growing curious on that subject, too. But I don't know. Abolitionists have clear consciences and live long." He mentioned the leaders of the old party and gave their ages, show ing they were remarkable for their lon gevity. "'There is something in this love of liberty that keeps men alive. They used to tell me that I ought to be happy in slavery. I had a good master and a good home, and why should I not be hap py there? I hadn't liberty. I asked my old master, just before he died, whether he blamed me, and he said he would have done as I did. I told him I had ran away because I loved liberty. I am here to day in the interest of liberty. Don't sell your liberty for any amount of good living. I am a republican—yes, a black republican. Slavery is gone, but its ghost haunts us still. The kuklux still ride through the pine woods by moonlight, and the spirit of the lost cause still wanders abroad. We have not had a canvass since the war that was as imprortant as the one that confronts us. It is not a fight be- tweeu two opposing candidates, but contest between parties and the princi ples that they represent. I know Mr. Landers, and I know Mr. Porter I know the candidates for the presidency, but I do not propose to consume time in dis cussing their relative merits, that is a matter of little moment compared with the parties that they represent. Candi dates do not make parties, and the whole is greater than a part. Our democratic friends would like us to fight it out that way they don't want their principles scrutinized, Mr. Hancock was a union general and a brave soldier. He was loyal and stood up for his country in its sorest extremity. But, saying this, we say no more- for him than we can for General Garfield. General Hancock was a professional soldier, educated in the art of war at the expense of the govern ment, and his life is devoted to warfare General Garfield was a citizen soldier His life was spent in the pursuits of a civilian, and he only took up arms to de fend our homes when they were threat ened. Ambition made one a soldier, and patriotism the other. Garfield fought against the democratic party in the war, and so did Hancock. This is why he was nominated. He was nominated not to exhibit but to hide democratic princi ples, not to uncover the party's faith but to mask it so that you might not see it. In 1872 they tried to hide it but failed. They Reduced our old friend Horace Greeley with the presidency. It was a clear case of seduction. They thought -that they could sneak into power under his old white coat and hat, but people saw the trick and laughed at it. After ward they hoisted up one of their own sort, and he was defeated. Now they are trying to fool us again by putting up their old arch enemy, General Hancock, and again they will find that the Ameri can people are not so easily duped as they imagine. James A. Garfield has nothing to fear from a comparison with General Hancock. He was as good a general and an immeasurably better statesman. The only utterance that sounded like a statesman that Gen. Han cock ever made was that in time of peace the military should be subor dinated to the civil power, a principle that has been handed down tons from the founders of the republic—one that every schoolboy lias known that lias lived in the United States in the last century. We are told that there are va rious grades of greatness in statesman ship—greatness of administration, great iioss of legislation, and greatness in the discovery of truth. In the two latter kinds of statesmanship Garfield has proven himself great, and we intend to give liim the power to show his great ness in administration. The rain, which had been drizzling all day, now came down in great torrents, and compelled an adjournment. At 2 o'clock in the alternoon, the rain still continuing, Mr. Douglass spoke in the Wesleyan church to a crowded and sym pathetic audience. At Riohmond he also had an immense meeting. The Paulladium speaks of his speech as follows: He commenced his gentleman ashamed of the republican party and is trying to belittle it and oover it with odium. He said it was painful for him to refer to him inAther than the most friendly terms, but his present attitude made it necessary for him to do so. The time was when he was proud to call him his friend, and had striven in every way consistent to make hinijprominent be fore the American people—had even gone into a convention and assisted in seouring for hiiii the nomination for vioe president of the United States on the tree soil ticket. He then alluded to an assertion made by Julian in a leceut speech in Iudianapolis that the republi can party had at one time evinced a willingness to remand the colored man back into slaveryi aiid pronounced it a falsehood. Hei tnta detailed the circum stances refered to by Mr. Juliun in full, lind said Charles Francis Adams expressed himself in favor of a law that might be used to return col ored people back into slavery, but the republican party was opposed to it, and no man was better aware of that fact than Geo. W. Julian. Ho said the time had been when Mr. Julian had felt frieudly toward him, and took him in his buggy to abolition meetings but times lntve changed, and with them Mr. Julian. He now ignores the very principles that he advocated during the war with a vehe mence and eloquence that rendered his namo illustrious, consequently it is not strange that he did not desire to see me. In, fact when appraised at a hotel that I would arrive on the next train, he became very weary, and asked to be shown to his room. His review of George's political apostacy was scathing, bnt the scoring was certainly deserved. He then referred to a visit he made to this city twenty-seven years ago, when a slave, a fugitive slave, a hunted slave, with the marks of the whip on his skin so plain and deep that time will never efface them. Then he was not well treat ed. Our people derided liim, mobbed him, and egged him, and some of the were not very fresh. Bnt times had changed here. He had never met with abetter reception than was accord ed him to-day. Everybody was friendly and shook hands with a warmth that in dicated sincerity. He then paid a glow ing tribute to the hospitality of the Irish people as evinced when he was a fugitive and had taken refuge on Irish soil. He spoke of the love of liberty displayed by Irish people, trad said that it was a mys tery to him. that they as a class, allied themselves to a party that oppressed the colored man. Space will not permit us to give a further outline of his remarks. Suffice it to say that it was one of the best speeches ever delivered in Rich mond, and it made an impression on the audience that cannot fail to be produc tive of good results. FOREIGN CROPS AND MARKETS. London, Sept. 6.—The Mark Lane Ex press says: Harvest in the southern aud eastern counties are mostly complet ed, and grain is stacked in very excel lent condition. The general testimony so far concurs that the results of thrash ing are disappointing. It lias been for some time accepted as a matter of course that the abnormal season and general prevalence of mildew must materially reduce the yield of marketable wheat, and this is now found to be the case. The barley crop is much heavier than at one time could reasonably have been expected, but nearly all the best barley was so much laid by storms that reports of discolored and imperfectly ripened samples are only what were to have been expected. The oats crop is better than it promised to be a month ago. Boot crops are fast maturing and a fortnight of fine weather will make a heavy crop a certainty. The hop crop is very vari able. The rapid loss of color is notice able in the gardens of West Kent, in consequence of dense night fogs. The deliveries of New England wheat have been steadily increasing in the provin cial markets, but at Mark Lane the sup. ply has been small. Sales have been slow at a decline of a shilling in London and from 1 to 2 shillings in many of the leading country markets. The foreign wheat trade presents no new feature of interest. The temporary steadiness in consequence of a falling off of American shipments gave place to a feeling of list lessness and depression last Monday which clung to trade the remainder of the week. New winter American was freely offered at 44 shillings without finding buyers. The sales of English wheat last week were 16,636 quarters at 43 shillings 3 pence, against 16,570 quar ters at 48 shillings 2 pence for the cor responding period last year. The im ports into the kingdom for the week ending August 28 were: Wheat, 1,671, 58" hundred weight Hour, 176,201 hun dred weight. American maize closed easier at 23 shillings 9 pence. The dull ness in the wheat trade checked the improvement in flour, but holders are firm at previous rates. ADAMS CLOSED PURSUED. Deadwood Press, 1st. Jencks, a ancheron the Belle Fourche was this morning brought into town by Marshal Raymond's orders, to testify in regnid to what he knew about Adam's escape. He was sent to examine Col. Parker's horse and identified it as the one rode when he drected him (Adams) to the Bismarck trail. He traded Pai ker's pony for a bay horse, and the pony was brought in last, night. A subpoena was issued on Col. Parker to bring in his horse as a witness, and to show how Adams came into possession .of the pony. A number of Indians and scouts from Fort Lincoln are out to intercept him, while special deputy marshals and de tectives are close in his wake, and the probabilities are that ere many hours elapse, Mr. Richard O. Adams will again be in limbo, from which he will not find it so easy to escape. Any man of aver age common sense would have known better than to take such a public route in attempting to escape. The department of justice will offer a large reward for Adams' arrest, and de scriptive bills will be scattered over the country, making his capture almost cer tain. Couons.—"Jlroirn'.i llrnnihinl Trocltex" are used with advantage to alleviate COUGHS, SOKE THROAT, HOARSENESS and BBONOHIAX, AFFECTIONS. For thirty years these Troches have been in use, with annnally increasing favor. They are not new and untried, but, having been tested by wide and constant use for nearly an entire generation, they have attained well-merited rank among the few staple remedies of the age. THE THROAT.—"Brown's lironchinl Trvchr.x" act directly on the organs of the voice. They have an extraordinary effect in all disorders of the Throat and Larynx, restoring a healthy tone when relared, either irom cold or over-exer tion of the voice, and produce a clear and distinct ennunciation. Singer* Tpeakertaiul find the Troches useful. A COCOH, COLD, CATARRH or Sore Throat requires immediate attention, as neglect oftentimes results in some in curable Lung Disease. "Brown,'! Bron chial Trochet" will almost invariably give relief. Imitations are offered for sale, many of which are injurious. The genuine "Branohuil Troches'' are sold only in hoxet.
