The Present Owners Will Beiist All Attempts te Eject Them. i It ; is Reported That There Are About Fire Hundred Teams Between - tween Cheyeime and Custer. Iklinlnar , Trade and Tcr- sono.1 IVotos. Corrapondtnceo/ Bee. Custer City , D. T , January 9. The town Is very much excited over an organized attempt made by miners from the north to "jump" ' eome of the' best claims on- Battle Creek in the npper or Harney Dis trict. There is no doubt about the fact that they are very rich claims , and eomeof the owners-will un doubtedly fight before they will give them up to the "jumpers. " There is the greatest chance in the world for cheating and rascality in a new mining district if the recorder is dis posed to do it. A recorder can record - cord claims to' Smith , Jones or Brown , or all three of them , aud then record a transfer ef the claims to himself , by stating what the con sideration was and when he ob tained It. The old miners around Deadwood are coming down by scores , and the immigra tion Irom the south and east has in creased greatly since the holidays. We shall certainly have lively times here during the next four months , and blood Is sure to be shed before the conflicting parties can adjust their differences. Nearly five hundred teams are re ported between Custer and Chey enne , but this is , of course , an exag geration. A large number are also reported on the ( Sidney route , but nothing definite with regard to their numbers can be ascertained. Aline of stages will be running from Cus- ter to the new mines in a week from the date of this letter , and John Featherstun , division super intendent of the C. & B. H. stage line , informed me to-day that the company would put on a line in about two weeks from this time One toll road is finished to Harney ; another will be opened to Hay ward in' loss than a month. A heavy snow storm day before yesterday covered the ground to a depth of about five inches. It is over a foot deep on Harney's Peak and Look out mountain , and over two feet ueep on Crow Peak and Inyan Kiara , and about the same at Deadwood - wood , BO we shall have plenty of water in the spring. To-day 1 saw the most enormous elk that it has ever been my lot to witness. Prank Smeth , the hunter that shot him , placed his feet on 9ne point of one antler and just touched the other with the top of his hat as the royal animal lay on iiia Slue oil the' ground. That sounds large , I know , but any of 3chlining's men here will confirm the statement. Beef is very scarce in Custer at present , and costs from 16c to 20c a [ > ound at retail. Pork , fresh , sells it 20 cents , aud elk and veni- > on at from twelve to fifteen. Flour is very plenty , and I bought a lot of Colorado on the street yesterday at seven dollars a bundled in Battle Ureek dust at twenty dollars an junce. Richard McCormick's train ar rived from Sidney day before yesI I ] terday with flour for John W. Lytle. All well , with stock in fair jondition. Henry Homan has brought in lome specimens of gold quartz from lis lead near Point of Hocks , which ie will take to Omaha to be as sayed. He starts to-morrow , but ixpects to return m a few weeks to > peu it up and work it. The quartz ooKs very rich , and Mr. Homan eels confident that .he has got a big hing on bis bands. The rock is irown in color , considerably de- lomposed , and is full of tiity yellow pecks. c jdhu Smiley was tiown from his B anch near Mountain City last p reek. They -have been prospect- og up thereTand he says they have I ot it in paying quantities. One of d he citizens here received a letter t rom Crawford last week. He was c lien in Connecticut connected with \ ome kind of a theatrical troupe , e Ye have considerable tiouble u bout our press dispatches here , the rfro being prostrated about one- bird of the time between Cheyenne nd Custer. Tbe mails are very rregular on both stage lines and we ave had letters on the road sixteen nd twenty one days respectively etweeu Ouiaha and Custer and ice versa. WIKOHESTEK.

It was a fearful storm , HAi id two parties from Custer were AiA : dated and came near perishing , JtHi Hi aey lost their way and wandered HiAi ouncl on the prairie betwesnYoint AiHi HiAi Bocks and the east end of town AiW W itil after three o'clock in the AiA orning , finally coming ont at the SoW 1 tughter 'house , and finding fuel id provisions at the same time , ie horses would not fr.ce the storm all , and left the track about four JOJ lies - ath of Custer. One of them J il Into rfvprospect hole , throwing e rider over his head and hurting m badly. Mining operations have ceased and f oat of the miners baye gathered into Custer to remain until the snow thaws enough to resume operations again. Gambling is the attraction at all the saloons , and we noticed one table where a woman dealt the cards , the game being vingtnu or twenty-one. An express line has gone into op eration between Custer and Hayward - ward , on Battle Creek , since my last letter went down. We have great difficulty about our mails here , and all our letters and papers areiu- vonably delayed from one week to twenty-three days between Omaha and Custer. We generally leceive them in a bunch when they finally arrive. The Sidney company run their stages to u station abomt one mile east of Buffalo Gap , where an other line is put into operation , run- iiing around the foothills via Rapid City to Dead wood , while another en ters the Gap and runs up to Custer. Ward , of Cheyenne , and Capt Haserodt , of Omaha , have built the finest hotel in Custer and called it the "Occidental" The wagon trains continue to ar rive from the south in spite of the snow , and a very large onu is en camped just across the street from the office. The boys are very bois terous and are firing their revolvers and otherwise "making night hid eous. " New silver quartz is reported hav " ing" been discovered near Golden City and also in the Stand-by dis trict , but 1 cannot vouch for the correctness of the stories The party now owning the Dis covery claim , in Harney district , seut two of their number on the stampede to Wolf mountain early in the winter ; one of the men has returned , and reports that the other was killed away to the north of In yan Kiara. It was done by some disappointed miners who thought that he had a considerable quantity of dust about his per0ou. A party hap gone m search of the murderers , but tney are probably safely secreted by this time. The Custer Social Club was organized here the fore part of this week , with W. D. Gard ner , formerly of the First .National Bank of Omaha , as president. They meet every Thursday evening , and you will see by this that we do not lack for amusements here. We have had a charter election , and a tax sale in the city recently. The voters used printed tickets for the first time and any amount ot elect ioneering was done by the opposing faction. The lots sold tolerably well at the tax sale but no high figures were reached. WINCHESTER. BEAEKETS BY TELEOEAPH. JSEW YORK MOJNiEY. NEW YORK , Jan. 22 3 p. m. Money 4a5.

In the " " "Flagstaff" Litigation Judge Schaeffer Decides in Favor of Mr. Hunter. Synopsis of the Baling. The Case of John D. Lee , Row Jlo * fore the Supreme Court , BusinessSocial and Jour nalistic Jottings. CorretBpndente of The Bee. SalTLake City , Jauuary 17. On the 15th inst.Chief Justice Schaefler made a ruling in favor of Mr. Hunt er , in the Flagscaft mining caseand , granted an order restraining Messrs. Patrick and Davis from interfering with the new management of the mine. In the concluding paragraph of the ruliug his honor says : "I hold , therefore , that the parties who contracted with Davis and Patrick , had no right to restrain the corpo ration from removing Patrick , upon * a proper case "malleflor T r goda cause shown , and to confer almost unlimited power upon Davis to manage and control the company's superintendent aud manager , that on the contrary I think the corpor ation had the right to remove Patrick for good cause , aud having exercised that right , claiming to have good cause , this court will not restrain it , if at all , unless it clearly appears t'uat there has been a gross abuse of authority. " The attorneys of Messrs. Patrick and Davis are working to act the ca e before the supreme court of the Territory within a few days , so as to have au early decision on the question. It is reported on our streets ILat wheu the news of Judge Hcuaeffer's de cision reached London , Flagstaff shares darted up from twelve to eighty shillings per share. The case of the notorious John D. Lee ii set down f jr Monday next on the docket of the Supreme Court. Should the judgment of the lower court be confirmed the prisoner will doubtless appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States at Wash ington , as allowed by the Poland bill. If the decisions of the local tribunals are not reversed , or the case sent back for a new trial , it will be the next thing to a miracle , as that has been almost without ex ception the result with cases from Utah , that have been appealed - ed to the highest tribunal in the land. The lack of confidence in the judgment or fairness of U. tt. judiciary in Utah shown by Con gress in the passage or the appelate clauses of tae Poland Dill , has been shown to be fully Justified by the decisions of the Supreme Court , which , with one exception , enough to prove the rule , have almost in variably reversed the judgments of our local Supreme Court. This Po land bill , though a source of much business to the Supreme Court of the United States which rightly shou.'d not have to be brought before it , is a tower of strength to the lib- arties of the citizens of this Ter ritory. Two companies of tne Fourteenth infantry , engaged during the past iummer in tho" campaign against fitting Bull , returned to Camp Douglas the night before last. The Post here is one of the pleasantest ! md most comfortable on the conti- ' sent , and the boys quartered here 3onsider themselves amongst the ucky ones.

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH FROM THE LEADING COMMcSfJIAL CITIES OF THE COUNTRY UPJ03:00 P. M. \FO \ OR O1 CLOORP.M.REPORT ] PENNSYLVANIA. IN JEOPARDY. . . -V. * , f . * rf morning information was received at the A. & P. telegraph office in this city , that the Western Union company had organized a large force of men in the oil regions for the purpose of destroying the wires and poles of the Merchants .National telegraph company , which were be ing operated by the Western Union under a lease acquired by the recent consolidation o'the Pacific and At lantic lines. This lease being about to expire , the wires which extend through the oil regions would revert to the control of the opposition Co. The Western Union company , it is said , preferred a suit for damages rather than toallow these important connections to fall in the bauds of their opponents , and proposed taking advantage of the adjourn ment of court and the absence of the judges on Saturday , and complete the work of destructiou before an injunction could be had to restrain them. In this , however , they were baflled , as the Atlantic & Pacific of ficers employed the most eminent counsel in Pittsburg and had an in junction issued in the chambers through the presiding judge , Ewing , at 6 p. m. , and served the same on all the officials in this city that could be founi' , and telegraphed copies of the sam to all points in the oil re gions , me Congers being sent out entrains trains io get off at different points and take the road with horses in search of the gangs , armed with this injunction , and following their trail by the work of destruction. One party had cut down the poles and destroyed the wire for seven miles before the messenger overtook them 'and stopped the outrageous work. All the wires between Frank lin and Oil City were about de stroyed , and probably at other points not yet heard from. The su perintendent of the Western Union company having absented him self from the office in Pitts- burg , he could not be personally served with the papers , though his subordinates , wherever found , were supplied with copies before 8 p. m. , and as the work of destruction be gan at i a. m. , there seems likely to be.seriouH litigation over the affair , which niusl SSaUlt finally to the" ad vantage of plamtifls in the eye of the law. The public will no doubt see in this outrage the object of the monopoly is to crush out the op position telegraph. company , even oy such bold proceedings as the em ployment of disquiet gangs of men ut midnight to cut down and de stroy property not their own rather than that it should legitimately fall into the hands of the owners.

Tbe touse committee sent to Florida to Qvestigate the election in that tate have had no regular meeting ince their return , owing to the fact hat the testimony while there had tot been printed. An ordef for the iriuting was obtained from he House , and a sufficient amount if testimony has now been printed 3 enable the committee to resume s labors. The testimony wiU now e reviewed as rapidly as possible , nd a report will be prepared , to be nbmitted to the house as Boon as racticable. The chair laid before 36 senate a memorial from the loard af Trade of Chicago , heartily pproving of the report of the spec- il committee on the electoral count , 'hich was laid on the table ; also a jrtificate of election from the Gov- rnor of New Hampshire of C. H. lollins as senator from that state om March 4 , 1877 , was laid on the ible. Tfce speaker proceeded with the ill of the States , and the following ills were iatronuced and referred : By Mr. Strattman , for the relief f - ssttieraonpubllcr land ? . ' By Mr. Frye , of Maine , a bill in ilation to pavements in ihe city of Vashingtou. The reading of the ill was demanded , and occupied ] e time until a quarter of one 'clock. Mr. Frye introduced another bill , lie reading of which was demaud- edor the purpose of consuming the morning hour. The President , iu conversation this mornlug with a fnendt * > aid that the compromise bill to settle the Presidential question was , in his opinion , as far ca could be made to both sides , fie tbougiit it would pass Congress by a decided majority , in which case he would uadoubted- ly sign It. The very popular manner - ner in which it had been received by the people of both political parties was to his mind a sure indi cation that they were detenniued to have a peaceful ssttleraeut of the presidential question. The fact that this bill was popular with the masses and also received the sup port of eminent men of both parties would no doubt relieve iu a great measure the anxiety under which the country had labored since the 7th of JNovember. The president referred to a conversation he had held some weeks since on this sub ject , wherein he expressed the opin ion that no trouble would grow out of the Presidential question , but. on the contraiy , he had an abiding faith that it would be settled peace fully , and he said he was strength ened in that opinion by the belief j by the belief that the compromise bill would pass Congress before the end of the present month.

T5E ELECTORAL QUESTION The Herald edltorilly discusses at length the question of the constitu tionality of the proposed election tribunal. It argues to show that the plan Is constitutional ; that Congress has the right to appoint such a commission by virtue of its broad and explicit constitutional au thority , and that no matter where the power to count votes is lodged , Congress has the right to regulate that power. The Herald also says it is propos ed to call a meeting of the bar asso ciation of tbls city to give expression to the opinion of its members on the constitutionality of the electoral bill now before Congress , CONFERENCE OF STEAMSHIP AGENTS New York , Januaiy 22. A pri- vateconferenc2 between the agents of all the European steamship com panies in i elation to the bill now before Conpresss asking for au emi- jrant ; head-tax of $1.50 from the. companies , has just been held. All present decided to oppose the bill on the ground that it would be un constitutional. It was also decided that each company shall commence suit against the commissioners of emif/ratlon / for the recovery of the amount already paid for head-taxes since the time they have been com pelled to pay it. The Tribune publishes a long leti i ter from j3. W. btoughton , in which J be opposes the electoral bill , and | suggests a better way oflsettling the i lifficulty. He proposes that the J President of fne Senate be allowed : o count the votes , and if Haves I inould be declared elected , that Til- ! len seek redress through the Su- ' ireme Court.
