The Inhabitants of the northern por

travel as far east as Chicago In order
to reach the Capital (Yankton) In the
southern part of the Territory, there
being no direct means of communica
tion between the northern and south
ern portions ; hence it was deemed
abvisable to oreate a new Territory
out of the part described. It was at
first proposed to call the new Territory
Pembina, but the name was changed
to Huron, on motion of Mr. Bogy.

How It Was Carried for Tilden
LEICESTER'S TESTIMONY.
Washington, Feb. 3. The investi
gation Into the oonduct of the late
election In Mississippi wasvoontinued
to-day before the Senate committee
on Privileges and Elections. J. T.
Leicester, president of the Hinds
county board of registers, who refused
to testify before the committee yester
day, testified that there w&b a confer
ence of leading Demoorats of Hinds
oounty a short time before the eleo
tlon, at which It was proposed to fur
nish one of the Democratic judges of
election, at each polling place, with a
duplicate key to the ballot box. Wit
ness furnished about fifteen of these
puplicate keys to different men, all of
whom were white men, and he
thinks, Demoorats. He slipped a
small parcel into the vest-pocket of
one of the judges, remarking as he did
bo, "Here is something wbioh may be
of use to you." Did not tell them
what use was to be made of them, but
thought they were all smart enough
to find out how and for wiiat to use
them. In answer to a question from
8enator Teller, witness said : 4,I sup
pose my Idea was that If there were
too many Republican votes In a bal
lot box, the key was to open the box
that Republican, votes might be tak
en out and Demooratic votes substitu
ted in their stead."
The witness admitted that the Re
publican judges of eleotlon in Hinds
county were generally ignorant ne
groes, and it was an easy matter to
get them intoxloated on eleotlon day.
He admitted further that the dupli
cate keys to the ballot boxes were fur
nished to one of the Demooratio judg
es in every polling precinct in the
oounty.
HENRY OUTLAW,
of Aberdeen, Monroe oounty, testified
that all meetings which the colored
Republicans attempted to hold In his
county during the late campaign,
A. I oannot an-j were broken up by armed Democrats.
George Jones, a negro sixty-one
years of age, living in Nashville, who
believes himself possessed of the
supernatural power of defining the
situation of minerals beneath the sur
face of the earth, Is working in a cavo
he discovered a few weeks ago near
Fort Nejjley. Jones has only one
man working with him now, and is
blasting through the door, which Is
of cement and soapstone. The first
cave is twenty feet long and fourteen
wide. A door opens into the second
cave, in which a six-horse wagon
could turn around, The treasure Is
in this one, and a stream runs between
the two vains of metal, which are
fifteen feet apart.
He has a cave on the Clinton turn
pike where he worked Beveral months
but was unable to reach the hidden
treasure. He leased the property up
on which it is situated for twenty
years. He has five oaves in Halley's
Bend, fourteen miles from theoity by
land, and near the bank of the Upper
Cumberland. He haB dug thirty feet
in one of these caves, wbioh is sixty
feet long and fifteen wide, and found
everything to lie just as he Bald it was
before he commenced work. A large
bank is in the center of this cave, with
a two-foot path around It. It Ib sit
uated directly over the vain of gold,
whlph is from four to five feet below
the level of the floor of the cave, and
under a large stone, through which
he will have to blast ere he seourts
the fortune.

awer that question, sir; I have not
got the means to answer it; I am not
able to answer it ; It is too general a
question.
Q. Do you know anything of the
appointment of Mr. Lett, of Brown-
Tilie, as an Intermediatory between
Mr. Patrick and Mr. Howe to pay
money Into bis hands to secure his
eleotlon ? A. I do not.
Q. Do you or not know It In any

heard Mr. Patrick say anything about
It; if so, what? A. I shall refuse to

The witness was at a meeting In Ab
erdeen during September. At that
meeting seventeen colored men were
shot, some of them killed outright,
and others were so seriously wounded
that they had since did. The Demo
crats had a practice of riding through
Monroe caunty at night, and taking
colored men from their beds and
whipping them ; and many of his raoe
had slept out of doors for several
nights previous to the late eleotion to
prevent being dragged from their
homes and whipped. The witness
was wounded in the shoulder by bul
let at a political meeting, in Septem
ber last. Upon taking the witness
xtand Outlaw asked to be excused
from testifying. He said he should
not dare to return home if he told the
whole truth.
HUHOX TERRITORY.
The Lay of the Land,; Its Production
and Possibilities.
The bill to establish the Territory of
Huron, and provide a temporary gov
ernment therefor, which passed the
Senate last week, proposes to .create
tbe new Territory out of the northern
portion of present Territory of
Dakota. It has been before Congress
for the past four years, and having
passed the Senate, now goes to the
House of Representatives for the con
currence of that body. The present
Territory of Dakota contains 150,932
square miies, and the new Territory
would have an area of about 70,000
square miles. It Is to be a parallelo
gram, extending from Minnesota on
the east for sometbiug less than 400
miles to Montana on the west, and
from the British Possessions on the
north two hundred miles to the bound
ary of tbe remaining Teritory on tbe
south. Its population Is estimated
at about 10,000 having recevled con
siderable accessions by Immigration
since the taking of the last census. It
Ib said that one of the best farming
regions in tbe United States lies In the
proposed new Territory.
Among the reasons given for the
passage of the bill are that tbe set
tlements In tbe present Territory of
Dakota are comprised in two separate
and distinct communities, entirely
separate and distinct from their
geographical position. The inhabited
portion of southern Dakota the old
settled portion of the Territory is
along the Missouri River. Its commer
cial relations are with Nebraska, Sioux
City, and through Iowa to Chicago.
Northern Dakota the portion which
the bill proposes to oreate Into a new
Territory Ib settled for 200 miles along
tbeproposedNorthernPacIfioRailway
and along the Red River of the North.
Its commercial relations are with
One hundred years ago. students at

ourrency of the Pilgrims was tbe first
Issue of paper money in thlB country.
During the war of Queen Anna pnper
currency was established, known as
Queen Anna's war currency, which
soon became worthless. In 1755,
Virginia issued a paper currency,
previous to whioh the clergy were paid
In tobaooo. In 1715, John Colman eF
tabliehed a bank In Massachusetts,
with land for capital, and began the
Issue of loans. Other oolonies followed
and theamount of loans by the colonies
finally reached to millions, which the
mother country paid off at reduced
rates to save the credit of the oolonies.
In 1775, Congress iesued paper money
to the amount of $300,000 to be redeem
ed In coin In three years. The colon
ies or State also issued pappr mnnpy.
and Boon the whole volume of State
and National currency amounted to
$12,000,000. This money was taken
without muoh question at first, and
those who refused It were stigmatized
as unpatrlotlo; but In the following
year It began to decline, and in 1780
it was worth almost nothing. A barber-shop
in Philadelphia was plaster
ed all over with Continental money,
and dogs were tarred, stuck over with
the same shlnplasters and let out to
run the streetB for tiie public amuse
ments. To Robert Morris is due the
salvation of the Revolutionary army.
He lent his private fortune and credit
to the government, and when all his
money was gone and his oredit bad
been liberally used, Washington said
he must raise more money to carry out
a war measure, theperfeotion of wbioh
only waited for the money, Morris
therefor. Issued his own notes for $1,
400,000. Washington gained the bat
tle of Yorktown, and Cornwallis sur
rendered. Every one of these Morris
notes were subsequently redeemed.
In 1782 the Bank of North America
was established at Philadelphia, with
a capital of $400,000. This was the
first bank of tbe National Govern
ment. The date of the first silver
ooinage was 1794, and of the first gold
ooinsge 1794.

peot was almost Swiss in its character,
but it is a mass of bare hills with
soaroely a tree except in the immediate
foreground, and so naked and deso
late as to make the heart ache ; i t would
be entirely desolate but for the deep
blue of the sky and an atmosphere
that bathes all the great sweep of
peaks and plains in color.
Bethany is a squailld hamlet ding
ing to the rooky hill-side, with only
one redeeming feature about it the
prospect. A few wretched one-etory
huts of stone, and a miserable handful
of Moslems occupy this favorite home
and resting-place of our Lord. Close
at band, by the roadside, out out in
tbe rock and reached by a steep
descent of twenty-six steps, is the
damp and doubtful tomb of Lazarus,
down into whioh any one may go for
half a franco paid to the Moslem
guardian. The house of Mary and f
Martha is exhibited among the big
rooks and fragments of walls; upon
older foundations loose wallB are laid,
rudely and recently patched up with
cut stones in fragments, and pieces of
Bo man columns. The house of Simon
the leper, overlooking the whole, is a
mere heap of ruins. It does not mat
ter, however, that all these dwellings
are modern; this is Bethany, and

PROSPECTUS FOR 1877.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
The country has passed through a fierce Presiden
tial contest, and tbe result has been left In a dan
gerous and unsatisfactory sbape, on account or the
unprecedented closeness of the election, the angry
disputes as to the votes of certain States and the
failure of the Constitution to provide any tribunal
to solve doubts or decide contested points.
GOV. HAYES ELECTED.
From thobest light beforeltTheTribunebelievea
that Haves has received 18oElectoraI votesagalns:
184 for Tiiden. and is therefore entitled tn he In.in-
gtirated President on the-lth of March, 1877. The
hlgbe-t good of the South, as well as of the North,
would be best promoted by his occupancy of the
Executive Chair.
DANOER OF ANOTHER WAR.
But there are grave apprehensions that a rufflaD
ly. ravenous crowd of office-seekers may resort to
lawless and violent means to Induce tho defeated
candidate Into the oaice of Chief Magistrate. All
peace-loving and law-abiding men, irrespective of
party, must stand together in this crisis, and crush
out the Incendiary demagogues who are threaten
ing to light the torch of internecine war, which
would bring ruin and destruction upon thecouniry.
The coming year promises to be the most event-
mi ana exciting or any since the War. The Trib
une will do everything in Its powerto have the new
President peacefully and lawfully Inaugurated. and
to restore harmony and confidence In the future.

always Independent and feerless In the expression
of its views, and aims to be right rather than parti

country higher.

-A.S -A. LOCAL ZF-A-ZPZEZE,
The publishers of THE ADVERTISER labor assiduously, and with unre
mitting industry, to make it a success. Without prejudice or partiality for
or against any particular localities, they desire the welfare of all; and any
thing a newspaper can do for the advancement of the general prosperity,
THE ADVERTISER Is not only willing, but anxious to do. Believing in
TOWN AND COUNTRY,
and that the prosperity of the one depends more or IesB upon the other, we
can consistently work for the prosperity of all.
As an evidenoe that we labor to give our readers an honest paper, and
the most and greatest variety of reading matter possible, we invite attention
to the columns of our paper, and comparison as to quantity and quality, with
any other weekly In tbe State not made up from the matter of a daily. We
are determined to make THE ADVERTISER a paper that the people will
seek for, and receive full value for the money invested in it.
THE NEW Y0EX LEDGEK.
Wear, prdfoundlygratelul for the generous and
increasing support of the American public which
we are mad? to feel at the close ofevery year when
the renewed and new subscriptions to the Zcdgtr
flow In, like the Influx of a mighty tide. This lib
eral support we make unremitting efforts to des
erve, we select the best writers In the world with
out regard to cost, for, once convinced that one au
thor will be more acceptable to our readers than
another, the price Is never permitted to be an ob
stacle In our way.
We have now had many years' experlen'v. and
we shall leave no exertion unmade to render the
Ledgrr for the year 1877 superior to any preced'
ing volume.
Our most DODUlar old writers, whoso axrpitpnrn
is established, will write, as heretofore, most of
them exclusively, for the ledger.
We are always on the alert for any new feature
that we think will render the JLedger more attract
ive.
The Zerfffer Is always a lire paper, keeping pace
with the genius and spirit of American progress.
It contains tbe purest, sweetest and most delight
ful stories striking narratives, and Instructive bio
graphical and historical sketches.
It has the most popular and carefully prepared
collection of scientific facts.
We shall continue to reply to questions on all In
teresting subjects as heretofore. Notonly are these
questions genuine, coming directly from the people
but we receive thousands more than we have space
to answer.
We receive constant assurances. In almost count
less letters, of the happiness which the Ledger car
ries Into the families where It goes. All who wish
wish to secure to themselves that enjoyment will
send In their subscriptions without delay.
Our subscribers will have no postage to pay. We
prepay the postage on every paper that we mall.
Notwithstanding this, there will be no Increase In
the price of the Ledger. As will be seen by the fal-
