Dakota. General Hancock has displayed more true manhood since the president's illness than even his moat ardent friends gave him credit for. While not retiring to absolute seclusion, he has abandoned a contemplated pleasure trip, and declines all invitations to dinners and receptions, giving as a reasou the critical condition of his commander-in-chief. In the extra session of congress, almost inevitably soon to be hold, the democrats will have a clear majority of two with which to perfect an organization, and a majority of one even after the admission of Miller and Ijtpham, New York's new senators, and this too with Mahone coiiuied among the opposition. Oonkling and "me too" are doubtless jubilant.

Ex-Governor X'enninoton delights in pointing to the integrity of his first officials of Lawrence county, but he hits cviden.ly forgotten, or fondly imagines that the people have, the certain unenviable record made by his brother-in-law, the former Crook City postmaster, convicted of embezzlement, and by C. E. Hanrahan, the first probate judge. At a meeting of readjusters in Rockingham, Virginia, last week, one of the speakers said: "Cuosar had his Brutus, Garfield had bis Guiteau, and while I will not be so undemocratic as to wish it, I believe it would be the best thing that could happen to Virginia if the man who is put out by the funders should find his Guiteau." That one expression, unless utterly repudiated by the readjusters' party, should lose them the tight. That the sentiment and the spirit prompting it are not entertained by certain ones of the party, is indicated by the Richmond Dispatch, which rejoices that the young man is not a bourbon or a funder, and we are sorry he lives in Virginia." Opposition to the Yankton Press plan of calling a convention, if not opposi tion to a division of the territory and con sequently to a convention of any kind is cropping out here and there, notably along the northern tier.

The Aotou News, one of the most determined opponents to the Yankton scheme for making up a convention says: A convention formed in this way would contain a very much greater numner oi memoers Irom Southern than Northern Dakota. Now we have so far failed to see any appearance of aisposuion or desire for seuaration among the people of the Southern part of the Territory. Some towns have very hopeful anticipations of becoming toe luture capitoi oi tne Slate as a whole, notably Huron and Watertown. these would bo inclined to interpose every possime onstaeie. Buch a convention meeting ind failing? ta adont a plan, or one that would lie acceptable to the people of the Northern part, would result in serious damage and might be the occasion of entirely defeating the measure.

The only reme dy then would be the immediate withdrawal of all the Northern members and the organization of a purely North ern convention. It is certainly a good sympton that enough interest is taken in the question to induce the adoption of some plan. Discussing the above the Fargo Republican adds another objection, to wit: lhe proposition means aimnlv to take the coutiol of such a convention out of the bands of the people who live in tue territory and have material interests here, and nlace it in the hands a few federal officials sent here bv the government. he four principal United States officials are Gov. Ordwav and three others, and if Gov.

Old way is seleot the membership of a conven tion irom the members of the legislature, it is easy to forecast its make up. there is to be a convention it ought be one of the people. The movement should originate with the people and the people should control it. Delegates to such a convention should be elected by the people expressly to represent thein in i's councils, not selected by federal office holders and office siekers, with a view tn manipulating course for personal aggrandizement. The proposition, as made, looks like a "put up job" to give certain ambitious individuals the control of such a convention, and bring ther.i prominently iuto public notice as candidates for prospective official position.

It is unfair and unjust to the people, who under operation will have no voice in the matter. Another paper intimates that some the principal federal officials in this territory, and some of their followers are opposed to any division of the Territory and "are scheming for the admission of it as a whole, forming one magnificently great State, altogether too large for the benefit of the people. If, this be true, it is easy to see the real animus of the proposition to give them the full control of the proposed con vention, by allowing them, instead of the people, to select its membership. convention so selected would be very liable to refieot the wishes of its progenitors and we should probably see it adopting resolutions against division and in favor of submission as an huge, unwieldly State, and we are inclined to think that this scheme is the "cat under the meal" in the proposition for a convention at this time." A contest is evidently brewing, and the Hills have been religiously ignor ed in every proceeding looking to the Holding ot a convention and a division of the territory, we can afford to re main interested spectators only of the tight and the ultimate result. Doctoring the President.

Somebody who signs himself Man-Afraid-of-Doctors, under date of Washington, Aug. 12, writes as follows to the Graphic upon an interesting topic: It is said here that an understanding exists among the four physicians con stantly in attendance on the president respecting Ihcir fees. They have agreed, it is said, to charge $100 a day each. They took charge of the case on the second of July. This is the 12lh of August; so that counting both days, uicy have now been in al tendance forty- two days.

It is also said that Dr. Ag new will charge 11,000 for each visit and (5,000 for each of the two surgical operations which he has performed besides consultation fees, while Dr. Hamilton will charge $1,000 for each visit and consultation fees. At this rate, up to this day, the president's doc tor bill will stand thus: Dr. BUM, 42 dsys at W0 4,200 Dr.

Hamilton, visits and Total ro.S-KI Are not these highly exorbitant and outrageous charges Are they to be paid, and, if so, by whom? To pay them even at their present figure would impoverish the presidents family, swallow up nearly a year and a half of the president's salary, and, if they are to continue, they will sweep away the whole of the Field fund as well. What do you think about it? The Graphic adds editorially the opinion that the correspondent, whom it knows to be otherwise an estimanie and reasonable man is decidedly out of his reckoning, that is, is not got his charges too high. It says further: "We have got no means ol Knowing what the president's physicians mean to charge, probably they have not considered that subject themselves. As Dr. Barnes is surgeon general of the army, 98 to be up is is In the hour of great bereavement, none but the kindest feelings for all men -should be cherished.

We wish that such sentiment, could be univer sally entertained toward the "physician in charge" of the president, but we fear it is impossible. The conviction strong and constantly gaming ground that malpractice, if not quackery and selfishness, are more responsible for the president's condition than is the wound inflicted by the assassin Guiteau. These are strong but are, they unwar ranted? They Certainly express the sentiment of a. good many observing people throughout the land, who would have doubly rejoiced at the patient's recovery, in that it would have restored their presiden', and would also have relieved them from that great incompetent, Bliss. After the first day or two of the pre luents prostration, it was almost universally conceded that the wound was a slight one; that it affected no vital organ, and was not necessarily fatal, and was so treated by the "physician in charge," who seemed to overlook the fact that haimlcss as it may have been solely considered, it might produce other diseases, or under the patient's system more susceptible to malarial attacks, and deleterious climatio influences so common to Washington during the summer mouths.

Right here occurred the two great mistakes of the "physician in charge," to-wit: His persistency in retaining the president in that hot-bed of disease, the white house, and his persistent refusal to admit Dr. Baxter to professional consul latious. The first error is now palpable to every and it is question whether or not the president's great yearning to escape from what he knew to be nothing better than a pest-house, has not had a positively injurious effect. The seoond error Was more' glaring and inexcusable. Dr.

Baxter had been the president's physician for years; had attended him for every ailment to which his system' was subject; thoroughly understood the man's disposition, temperament, moods and habits, and was prepared by experience to treat any and every disorganization that should appear, Whether chrouio, or acute growing out of the wound. Dr. Baxter was not admitted to consultation, on the contrary he was unceremoniously ejected from the white house Professional courtesy and custom should have mspifed Bliss into retirement immediately dpon the appearance of Dr. Baxter; but he preferred to act the boor, the the charlatan, and that, too, at the expense and great sorrow of the nation. His motive was clear.

He was after notoriety, fame, reputation or whatever it would be termed, and such he would have even though it -became necessary to kick skill into the street, or to first reduce the patient to a corpse in order that he might resurrect him. The wound progressed nicely; was reported healing, and the president' on the high road to health, when suddenly symptoms of other diseases appeared. The stomach refused to act; the nervous system hecame sadly disorganized, in fact the patient passed entirely out of his normal condition and demanded treatment such as "the phvsician in charge" was totally unprepared for and thoroughly incompetent to administer. Then the work of experiment began and with it a rapid decline of the patient. Under the influence of the most powerful stimulants, he occasionally rallied, but only for a momsnt when a re lapse would occur more alarming and more serious than before.

In the meantime false bulletins were deceiving the people info the beiief that the president was recovering; that Bliss was a great doctor. The truth appears at last, only when it is too late. Had the president been taken to the Soldier's home or some other healthful locality, add there placed in competent hands, the sad news now freighting the wires would not be ours to record. The Convention Committee. The Pioneer has opposed the Yank ton Press' plan of making up the pro posed territorial division convention, for the reason that the process is too much of the "cut and dried" order, and not because we had aught against any member of the committee as suggested.

In a matter of such moment as this the people Bhould have a direct voice in each and every proceeding and particularly in the arrangement of prelimi naries as they, to a large exten1 must influence and shape all subsequent ac tion as well as the final result. The proper, most expeditious and most satisfactory manner in which to proceed is for the two territorial com mittees democratic and republican to decide through their chairman, if a joint session cannot be held, upon the time and place for the convention, and to call such convention, announce an apportionment etc District central committees, working in harmony; could arrange for an'election, and such other matters as might be necessary. Such plan would certainly refute the charge now heard that an effort is being made to pack the convention in the interest of certain tew individuals.

In aAswer a question of a western anion associated press agent, lie said there may hope yet, but I see no prospect recovery.

AND MORE HOPEFUL, and a general feeling of encouragement seemed to prevail. The evening bulletin was regarded as lairly satisfactory, although the febrile rise was rather more than anticipated. During the evening, however, the president rested quietly and his fever by 11 o'clock had subsided. Dr.

Boynton, at 9:30 this evening gave the following statement of the present aspect of the president case: "in my opinion, all the patient's symptoms to-night show marked improvement. In the hrst place his mind, which was for a week inoie or less affected bv the vitiated anecteu oy tue vuiateu co mmon oi nis and improverished condition of his blood, is now perfectly clear and active.

The condition of his stomach far as ability to take food is concerned, continues good, and I think there is a further slight im provement in the processes of assimilation and nutrition. He has swallowed to-day more than thirty ounces of liquid nourish ment, consisting clueny ot beef juice, peptonized milk and milk porridge, and has had in addition two nutritious enemata. This suop of food is en- tirely adequate if properly assimilated, It is regarded this evening that the president's rally has been of such a character that further relapse, while among tne possiDinties, is noupronaoie. Commencing at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon there had been up to 7 o'clock Sunday twenty-seven hours in which the president was pronounced as improving. The improvement has not diminished in strength, nor is it less marked to-night.

ror many pulse has shown a oeciueu by in off ry of by if I I rt by his The the President Garfield has in the past afforded many conspicuous traits of character commanding universal attention, but at the present time these are all absorbed by the magnificent physique, and great determination displayed in his heroic battle with grim death. There is so much of a chivalrous nature in this unequal struggle; so great La display of trueness, gentleness, firm ness and all of the higher qualities of ripe manhood, that the eyes of the entire world remain fixed upon the patient, while the warmest sympathy and the strongest hope goes forth from millions of people to encourage him if possible to greater effort. It may seem rash and presumptuous, at thii time, but we believe that the president will recover. The crisis has not passed, but the crisis is at hand; has continued for three long, wearisome days, and the president has not succumbed. He has not even failed in any particular, which circumstance implies that he has gained to an extent, for, as a well known physician remarked last evening the president is making a "stand off," and every such moment counts in his favor.

It is not necessary that he should percep tibly gain in flesh; that pulsations and temperature should decrease; that his stomach should gain strength, and his mental powers become more active; it is enough to know that in these particulars there has been no loss, no deterioration. The president is on the defensive, and handicapped as he is with injudicious treatment, malarial influences and an unrest occasioned by a knowledge of the unheathfuluess of the white house, to make a "stand off even, is indeed a marvellous achievement. President Garfield continues in a critical state, not so much by reason of the nature of the malady, as because of his weak and emaciated condition, the result of the gunshot wound. Taken in his normal condition, the president could endure the inflammation of the parotid, and the prostration and suffering ouused by it without jeopardizing his life, but as it is, his wonderful willpower, in fact nearly the last particle of vital force has been expended in a determination to overcome shock, the nimediate effect of the wound, and when greatly reduced thereby, then occurred these other afflictions to give serious aspect to the case. The paro tid difficulty might have been occa sioned by blood poisoning caused by the wound, but not necessarilySo.

A oold could have produced it, as also blood poisoning from malaria, or from improper medical treatment, but by what ever cause produced, it and not the pistol ball directly has brought the president to the verge of the grave. We repeat our belief that the patient ill recover, basing our idea upon his phenomenal physical qualities, and not underestimating the character of the isease. If an ordinary man lay upon the sick bed, we would entertain a contrary opinion, but James A. Garfield is no ordinary person, either mentally or physically. He is a giant in each of those particulars; and as he has proven himself equal to every emergency thus lar in his eventful life, we believe he will also overcome the present lamentable condition.

What a blessing to the American people his recovery will be; and how the nation should rejoice at having escaped the dangers now threatening, and waiting only for the death of the chief executive to break, creatine; discord, contests, bitterness and strife throughout the land. From Howard Worth, deputy United States marshal, who has just returned from Chamberlain, we learn that a movement has been inaugurated for the immediate construction of a wagon road from that place to the Hills. The Milwaukee railroad company is deeply interested in the project, and guaratees to grade and complete the first six miles from the river west. As this is the most difficult portion of the country to traverse, the remainder of the work dependent upon the efforts of the people of Chamberlain and of this locality, will be comparatively easy and inexpensive. Freighters are inter ested, and promise every assistance in their power.

Knowing ones assure us that the route is only twenty-five miles longer than the Pierre, while its advan tages in superior railroad connections must be apparent to all. Another great point to be gained by the propos ed route will be the breaking up of the monopoly now enjoyed by the North western Transportation Company, whioh virtually dictates rates to every shipper. The Milwaukee road is giad ed to Chamberlain, and track laying will soon be oompleted. The new road will run down Rapid oreek to the Chey enne, thence along the divide between White and Bad Rivers. The Cheyenne is the only stream of importance to cross, and that has a good ford.

Parties are out from Chamberlain and Rapid looking up the shortest and best route, and so soon as their report shall De submitted work will begin on the con struction. Chamberlain parties are in correspondence with several Btage com panics, and a line will undoubtedly be put on immediately upon the opening of the road, and it is rumored the bid ney will take the field.

It is hoped that the ro-id will be constructed this fall, but it may not be accomplish ed before spring, but the public may rest assured that the rood will be built.

This should have been done long ago, and could have been accomplished if the proper parties had undertaken it. It is all very well to form home companies, and to do everything within our power to prove up and work the mines, but the fact is too palpable to be denied that a great paucity of means abounds; that figuratively if not literally speaking we are an impoverished community totally unable to accomplish much more than location and representation work.

Having the utmost faith in the value of Black Hills mines, we can un other prisoners for fear that In ma way they may manure to kill him. II even fears personal violence at the hands of the guards.

He is receiving the best of treatment; and I could do him no hesitatingly call upon eastern capitalists for assistance giving every assurance that any investment, made as is proposed by honest and well informed men, will ultimately secure a rich re turn. A number of papers including one in this city, are bound to have an Indian outbreak, regardless of the disposition of the noble red man, which as every one must observe is anything but hostile. Such a procedure by the press is calculated to work great harm to the entire territory, and particularly to this isolated section, in retarding immigra lion, delaying the development of mines, settlement of the valleys and general building up of the young em pire. Indians were never more peace able, or peaceably disposed than at present, nor life and property more Becure.

The reported march of 8,000 Crows, Piegans, and others across the border, heading this way, has no signif- cance. The reds are after buffaloe are not on the war path, and while they may be tresspassers, that and it only constitutes their only offense. There has been no foundation whatever for the sensational reports set afloat by would-be sensational press. A private letter to Mr. John Chaffin, of Cheyenne, from a gentleman interested in the Black Hills salt com puny, states that reduction works of four times the capacity of those used heretofore, are being erected at tne Salt riprines.

The company, when the works are completed, will be able to reduce 1,000 pounds of salt, either ooarse or fine, per day. These springs are about ten miles from Jenny Stockade, and it is claimed that th water carries sixty per cent, of salt. Thus another important industry moving to the front, and one, too, that must prove of immediate great value to the people of this locality, and through out, the great northwest. In the earn neighborhood oil of the very best qua! ity abounds, and if a company with abundant means could be organized and wells driven, we are satisfied that rich flowing wells could be established, the product of whioh would be 1n demand all over the world. The oil has been thoroughly tested at the Home-stake mills, at Lead, and is pronounced far superior for lubricating purposes to the oils of West Virginia or other local and as Mr.

Garfield is commander-in-chief of that small hut estimable force, he may regard himself as attending the president in his official capacity, and not entitled to charge anything.
