Hutchinson county ten delegates. Turner county ten delegates. By order of the Legislative District Central Committee. B. 8. WILLIAMS, Oh'n, Yankton, D. T., Sep. !i2,1880. There is a sobeme on foot for the divi sion of Jerauld county. There are indications that Samuel J. Randall may be defeated ia bis district. Lauren Dunlap, immigration commis sioner, denies that his office is to be moved to Bismarok. Gilford's nomination is very ohillingly endorsed by the Grand Forks Plain dealer, an organ of tbe gang. Oampbell comity is to vote this fall upon a proposition to move the oounty seat from LaGrace to Mound Oity. Judge Tripp has overruled the appli' cation for a mandamus compelling the commissioners of Deuel county to move the oounty seat from Ga-y to 0 ear Lake. (Silver dollars are liable to go out of circulation when the new silver certifi cates are issued. There is a demand for the entire is&ue of $20,000,000 of Bmall certificates. Judge Thomas, newly appointed to tbe Deadwood distriot, has not yet ap peared upon the scene of his duties and Judge Ohurch ia booked for the Dead wood term of the supreme oouit. The indications are that sixty per cent of tbe members of the house of I representatives will fail to be re-elected at the ooming fall eleotions. In some ot the states three-fourthB of tbe old members will go out. The Indian bureau is about to send out a commission oonBisting of a speoial agent and an Indian inspector to visit the Uoatilla reservation in Washington territory, with a view of indnoing the In dians to take ap land in severalty under the aot of March 31, 1PS5. District Attorney Glaspel, of Stuts man oounty, rules that the recent law of ooogreBS restrioting oounty taxes to four per oent of the assessed valuation of the •ounty does not apply to the ourrent ex penses of a county but to the unuBual expenses, suoh as the payment of inter est, or bonds or for the oonstraotion of buildingB, or pther improvements. There is an effort on foot to secure from tbo legislators, this winter, an ap propriation of 85,000 or $10,000 to aid in tbe establishment of a north Dakota exposition to be alternately st Grand Forks and Jamestown.—JameUown Alert. There will be an effort to aooomolisb everything possible in the way of appro priations from the public treasury, but tbe present disposition of the people is to send men to the legialatore who will oppose suoh schemes. Legislation of tbe nature suggested by the Alert Is probably prohibited by tbe recent oon- creasional enaotment restricting speoial legislation in the territories. Still our legislatures do not alwajB obey the I mandates of oongress. Scarcely a ses sion passes without violation of the organio aot. The republicans of the eighth legis lative district, iu oonvention assembled, resolved— That the republicans of the eighth legislative district staud firmly and un alterably in favor of division on or near the forty-sixth parallel, and the immedi ate admission of the southern half into the union of states, and to this end will use all honorable means to seoure the same from the United StateB gov ernment. Tbe new publio printer at Washing ton has discharged 125 printers. These men are needed in the execution of government work, but there is in foioe, and must be observed, a democratic policy whioh demauds the disoharge of as many laboring men as possible. Party tradition places this political organization upon tho record as tbe enemy of the wage workers, the servant of aristjcracy. Oue ol the duties of a territorial legis lature is to inspect the books and ao oounts of territorial offioials. It is a duty generally omitted or performed in a perfunctory way and without any reason better than the pievaleut idea that such an inspection might be con strued as a reflection upon the official thus brought under legislative inquiry. There is, however, no good reason why the employees of the people should not be subjeoted to rigid examinations by legislative oommittees and the rnle should be enforoed to tbe letter duriug the ooming session. A condition of terror reigns in the southern states among the ignorant whites and negroes ot that eeotion over the dire predictions made by Professor Wiggins, who BBserts that a series of earthquake ehooks are to ooour there tbis week. The superstitions of this un lettered element have been aroused and they will dwell in an agony of fear until the period covered by the Wiggins propheoy has passed. At Atlanta tba colored population are further startled by the testimony of witnesses of their kind who aver that for three conseou tive nights the fac3 of the moon was streaked with blood. This ciroumstanoe, ooujured within tbeir imaginations, is aooepted as the promised sign iu the heavens of tbe approaching end of the world. Now that the mischief has sown itself broadcast over tbe south, Wiggins announces that ho has been misrepre' sented, that he does not anticipate any thing of a shake on the 29th, and that he stated only that the earthquake forceB would be south of the thirtieth parallel on that date. Editor Jewell, of the Bismarok Tribune, on his way home from the Yankton convention, said to a St. Paul newspaper: The people of Huron and other parts of north Dakota are incensed at Judge Moody of the Black Hills, who, as ohair man of the oonvention, ohoked off tbe proposition to submit tho question of division to the people of the entire teiri ry at a general eleotion. Judge Moody refused to entertain a motion to oall the roll on the adoption of this resolution, and as the vote was viva vooe, tbe north represented largely by proxy, did not have an opportunity to be heard. Alexander MoKenzie chimed in with these remarks: For once the three faotions in Dakota are all well pleased at the oatoome of the convention. Tbe north is pleased because it secured the ohairman and a majority of the central oommittee, central Dakota is pleased because the convention placed itself in the attitude of being afraid to submit the question ot division to a vote of the people, and south Dakota is pleased beoaune Dele gate Gifford was renominated. Elijah Coffin, of Bismarck, testified as follows: It looks now as though Hon. John 11. Gamble would be the only member of tbe upper house of the last legislature who will be re-eleoted. Nearly all of tbe old members are already laid out. Tbns far with but few exceptions (none that we now recall^ the republi cans of the various legislative districts of Dakota have declined to nominate the persons who represented them in the last legislature. The feeling seems to be universal that a change is the best medioine for a cure of the ills follow ing like a pestilenoe in tbe train of the last legislative organization. Chief among the evils sought to be correoted is the extravagance exhibited in offloial quarters under legislative lioense and there is now manifested a sinoere desire to oheok this extravaganoe through the eleotion of a legislature whioh will go to the capital in the interest of the peo pltt and not in tbe interest of cliques, faotions and ambitious towns. Most of tbe work accomplished at tbe last session was tbe result of a series of trades and combinations, all of whioh, under the statutes, was nothing short of bribery, and would be punishable as suoh if any punishment oould be meted out to tbe law makers of the land. As a result of this species of legislation we have subsidized towns, a militia law whioh is a drain upon the treasury, a capital com mission exercising unrestrained authority, a speculative gang preying apon tbe revenues, a governor unre buked for thwarting the will of the peo ple and a railroad corporation in abso lute possession of oat go7«rnment. The crowning aot of. all legislative deals was the passage ot what is known at tbp omnibus appropriation bill, through which the conspirators were enabled to reaoh their hands into the treasury. It is not surprising that there is a ory for reform and a genuine effort in be half of reform. It is time for the people toextrioate themselves from the olutohes of oorrupt oauous rule, wbiob is tbe foundation of all their troubles, and assert tbeir determination to diotate their own future policy. If it becomes neoessary to take an appeal to the polls, in the interest of the publio good, snob an appeal would be entirely ia harmony with the prevailing spirit of reform and tbe neoec.sitieB of the hour. That win a remarkable letter, the oue written to the chairman of the Oook oounty (Obioago) prohibition committee and signed, "'Saloon Keepers." It was doubtless the voice of tbe lower and more fanatical element of liquor dealers in the oity of Obioago, but its reflex will fall upon all individuals engaged in the busi ness, because of the impracticability of drawing a lino whioh shall separate) one from another. Tbe effusion was brutal in its terms and gave evidence of a murderous ten dency suoh as has reoently revolution ized publio sentiment in Sioux Oity and brought a passive element into active antagonism of the traffic. A single es traot from the letter is sufiioient. TbiB is a sample: Perhaps you think you'll sometime close up the saloons iu Chicago. We want to tell you before that is doue every damned prohibition fanatic v.ll die as Haddock did. We will kill every preacher, burn every ohuroh, massacre every member of every temperanoe so ciety, and all praying women before we will surrender our liberty or give up our lawful businfBs. He who pleads the oause of the saloon in language liko this offers a reason whioh cannot be overoome in behalf of the suppression ot that whioh reduoes men to the level of his arguments. C0RRECTINC THE RECORD, Delegates In Congress who liave been .Returned by their l'srllcfi. Yankt.on Press, 23: The long line ol precedents whioh have deolared in em- I Asli Cciliii""... pbatio tones that no Dakota dblegate should serve two terms in congress has Paper, buen broken und Delegate Gilford will I Doors become his own successor. This has happened but once before in the politi-1 Windows, col history of Dakota. Iu the olden time Judge J. P. Kidder (served two terms as Dakota's representative in tbe halls of congress. Sioux Falls Press, Sept. 25: Before writing the above the Yankton Press should have consulted its files. Judge Kidder was not the first or only dele gate who served a seooud term. In 1861 Gen. J. B. B.Tudd was elected as Dak ota's first delegate over C. P. Boope who was a oitizen of Sioux City. In 18C2 Gen. Todd was again elected over Gov. William Jayne, who was awarded the certificate of eleotion, but who lost bis Beat on a successful oontest by Todd. In 1861 Todd was again iu the field, but was defeated by Dr. W. A. Burleigh. In 1880 Dr. Burleigh was re-elected over Judge Brookings. In 1838 tbe contes tants weie Burleigh, S. L, Spink, J. P. Kidder and M. Toohey. SpiDk, who was a demoorat, was elected by a small majority. In 1870 Spink was was onoe more a candidate and Dr. Burleigh was again in the field, but Moses K. Armstrong, also a demoorat, carried off the honors. In 1S72 tbe candidates were Armstrong, G. O Moody and Judge Brookings and tbe former was again eleoted. In 1874 Judge J, P. Kidder was electod over Armstrong, and Kidder was re-eleoted in 1876, The other delegates have been ae follows: In 1878 Judge G. G. Bennett was elected over Bartlett Tripp. In 1880 F. Pettigrew defeated M. L. MoOormaok. In 1882 John B. Raymond was eleoted over Judge Brookings who entered the field as a sort of indepen dent demoorat. In 1884, Judge O. S. Gifford had a majority of about 56,000 over John B. Wilson. It will be seen therefore that it is not an unusual tbing for a delegate to be returned to Washington from Dakota. In faot up to 1873 Spink was the only one who failed of ro-election. Since then however the one-term mis has prevailed until happily broken fcy Gif ford at Yankton on Wednesday last. To sum up this may be said: That of the nine men who have represented Dakota in oongresB, Todd, Burleigh, Armstrong and Kidder served two terms Spink, Bennett, Pettigrew and Raymond served one term. As there is no possible doubt of Gifford re-election it will be seen that tbe two-term men have a majority of one, and it may be said that instead of Gilford's renomina tion being an unusual tbing it is follow ing in the line of preoedent. A Michigan Mtorm. Detroit, Sept. 25.—The Free Press' Beed Oity speoial says: A terrific thunder storm commenced at 4 o'olook yesterday afternoon and lasted till 8 p. m. Christopher Gabel's barn was atruok by lightning and oonsumed, to gether with the season's orop, in volving a loss of $2,000.
