HALE, OF MAINE, DOES FOR DAKO
TA'S SOALP.
The promoters of the movement, for
the admission of Southern Dakota ns n
Slate were greatly nnnoved last Tuesday
by rt protest introduced in tbe Seiinto ly
Mr. Hale, of Maine. It Bet forth lliat in
lrj72 lie county of Yankton, one of the
liugis! In Hie Territory, under nu net of
the Legislature sought for by tho ponplo
of the county, tissued bonds to the
amount of $200,000 to aid the construc
tion of the Southern Dakota Railroad.
The bonds wtro put upon the market ac
companied by representations of the lend
ing men of the Territory as to their be
ing sound and good, and were taken by
people nil over the Unit d States. Tho
road was built. It is the only road going
into Yankton county, is running to this
day, and everyboc.y concerned is receiv
ing tho benefit of it. Alter paj ing inter-
est for a short time the county declined
to pay further, and the bondholders were
thrown into the courts. They pissed
through all the singes of litigation in the
Territory and in the TJnlted States Court
were awarded judgment.
The county efflcers at once Invoked
he action of the Diikntn Legislature to
aid them in their repudiation, and the
Legislature passed different acts operat
ing in favor of the repudiation. Among
the acU was one which repenled previ
ous law authorizing a levy upon the prop
erty of the couuty for the payment of any
judgment obtained against tho county
Another act enabled the County Com
niissioncrs to effect an immediate termin
ation of their official powers by filiug a
resignation in tho effico of tho County
Clerk. When a mandamus was issued in
favor of tho creditors, the comity officers
at onoe filed their resignation and there
was do board for the writ to operate up
on. 51 r. Hale said that, as tho petition
rs invested their money on the faith of
Congress, tboy bad a right now to ask
Congress to sea to it that the people of
ihat Territory aro not encouraged in their
efforts at repudiation. lie gave notice
that when the bill admitting Dakota came
up he would offer an amendment defer
ring the admisMon until the Terriloiy's
record is cleared. Mr. McMillan, of
Minnesota dethrcd his belief that Dako-to-would
bo able to defend her reputation
from the attacks of Eastern money lend
ers, but no explanation was attempted.
Tti8 phf?s WmSWlVmlhU juriuTc'."
Hon, of course, slops any further pro
ceedings here. The action of tho author
ities in lending Mason away when it wis
kuowu that the application was being
made is the Mihject of much comment
to-day about the court house, and there
aro (mine ptople of tho opinion that it
was done to defeat the prisoner's being
produced if the writ had been issued. It
is also Mated that almost imtnediattly
after the conusd and notary ltft the
Washington barracks yesterday, prepara
tions were made to send the prisoner off,
and tho impression among the soldiers
there was that hn had been sen' to tho
Washington j.il at the rcqtust of the
counsel. There is wry litllo doubt but
that an application for a writ will be
made lu Now York, ard Mason's release
asked for. Petition;! for Mason's pardon
aro pouring in from all sections of the
country.
The President has nominated JmlRP

WASHINGTON.
From nun Hfodlar Correspoxoknt.I
Washington, D. C, March 18, 1S82,
The Senate Committee investigating
the Contingent Expenses of the Treasury
Department have, utter a protracted and
very searching, investigation maae it re
port to the Senate. The testimony is.
largely quoted in the report showing that
the discharged Custodian O. L. Pitney
and bis subordinates were guilty of mnny
irregularities and small trauds on the
Treasury, such as substituting one article
on the vonchers for another far different
from the one purchased. These cases do
not aggregate very mnoU probably, pro
bably not above $1,000 and would not
.ordinarily receive any publio attention,
but, from tho fact that Senator Sherman,
who was then Secretary of the Treasury
had established a Campaign Committee
to advance his candidacy at CMcago,was
the beneficiary of the greaterpart of these
transactions. Pitney evideutly wanted
to do something for Sherman and knew
from experience tho feasibility of cover
ing up stationery and other supplies need
ed by a campaign committee by a pur
chasing of ordinary supplies for the De
partment such as file holders, chande
liers, etc. About $C00 covers this oflbial
malfeasance and the testimony conclus
ively proves that Pitney's superio. o0io
ers were entirely ignorant of tho frauds,
although ho and his accountant S. I,.
Norton, made every effort to connect
them with their peculations. Amoug the
officers of tho Treasury whoso names
have been freely used in the publio pre-.?,
as being cognizant of the frauds if not
countenancing them is thai of the pres
ent Chief Clerk, Major Power, who comes
out of tho investigation without the bus
piclonof wrong. This officer was the
one Secretary Windom intrusted with the
designation of the Committee of Investi
gation who first reported his suspicions.
Hess of irregularity, aud Sto-eUry Win
dim iu bis testimony being asked ns to
his confidence iu his Chief Clerk, replied
that this elimination did not id tho least
detract from his confidence but rather
strengthened it; that he found bim ready
nnd willing to give him all the assistance
be could in the matter of the investiga
tion and so far as he could see, he was
most thorough iu bis t florin to correct
any abusos.
There is a soheme on foot a.nong a cer
taiu set of Stalwarts lure to heiji history
out a little in finding ber level. One nf
these gentlemen told me the other day,
iu conversation relative to the recent let
ter in the New York Sun auent "Old
Rosy," that I would see letters cropping
out here and there a good deal more
damaging to Garfield than that. He con
sidered It iiamasing and said it was
printed for that purpose. The Sun arti
cle is reported here to have como from
high Stalwart sources. The (fleet of this
upon the Republican party will not be
underestimated by shrewd politicians

From ntm Spkcial CotinKsronnKNT.
Washington, March 20, 1882
The calamity which has befallen those
unfortunate people residing on tho tt-rri
tory devastattd by the ovcrllow of the
Mississippi Hivtr (xcitis profound sym
pathy here, nnd prompt measures of re
lief havo been adopted by the authori
ties. Doubtless these troublos will have
tho effect to sccuro a mere favorable hear
ing to the largo nnd influential delega
tion now here urging tho improvement of
that rivir. There havo been many .dele
gations at the Capitol on a similar errand
belore, but ibis one rcpresects the great
Mississippi River Convention held at
St. Lou 8, and. is backed by the entire
valley. The nmouut asked for is way up
in the millions. Tho river interests re
quire in tho nggregnlo about $100,000,
000, but the representatives of those in
terests will be content with S50.000.000
whkb they want iu five million annual
lustalmeTts. There i a positiveness
about these people an earnestness which
comes of conviction, that excites admir
ation. The question of the national im
provement of tho Mississippi has been
agitated for fifty years. It haB grown In
importance with the pipnlationof the
valley and the power of the railroads.
'It is now tho only politics we have,"
siiil a member of tho delegation to me,
He thought tho Inter State commerce of
minor, consideration and disposed of it in
a sentence. "Give us a clear route to
the seaboard and the railroajs make low
tolls when we are frozen up tho rail
roads net anything they demaud." Aud
he illustrated this by figures on freights
They want the Mississippi made a great
national highway, so that ocean steamers
cau come up ns bich as Cairo without ob
struction. Tho reach and influence ot
this schcnio is far from bting either un
derstood or appreciated. Yet, if wheat
couldTje set down in Liverpool to-mor
row five cents a bushel cheaper than ills
put down there to-day, most any man
might predict the happy advantages
which would accrue to this country.
Last year the relative cost to Liverpool
via. New York and New Orleans from St.
Louis was torty-six cents to sixty cents
per hundred pouuds in favor of the
water route. The more money the cheap
transportation would put into the ppek-
linn with v hUli it it charged In the miller
of the YHtmion county bonds, issued In
1872, In aid of a railroad In that county,
UKin which Interest payments havereased."

Some important facts concerning the
manufacture of oelouiargarine were
brought out pending tho discussion of
the agricultural appropriation bill in the
House. It wax shown by statements pro
cured from tho Bureau ol Statistics and
Census Bnreim, that during tho sir years
ending June 30, 1881, the value of eleo
lunrgariiie exportid rose from $70,483 in
1875 to $331,510 in 1831. Iu 1878 the
quantity exported was only 1,098,401
pounds, but in the yenr ending June 30,
1881. it hs 20,327, 070 pounds. In the
year ending Dteemher 31, 1681, the
quantity of butter exported was only 21,
331.353 pounds, while in the proceeding
year it whs more than 37 000,000 pounds.
The value of the butter exported was $3, -
250,000 lens in 1881 than iu 18S0. On
the other hand, the statistics show that
the amount aud vnlno of cheese exported
were greater in 1881 than in 18S0. The
inference is, of course, that the amount
of butter exported has greatly dscreased
because of the remarkable growth of
oleomargarine industry nnd the rapidly
increasing am-unt of eleorurparine ex
ported. The Census Bureau furuiohed a
HUteimnt hhou ing that iu the cities of
Neu York, Philadelphia Brooklyn, Chi
cago, Boston, Biltiuiore, Cincinnati, and
Louisville, there were IS lactones, cm-
ploying nearly 700 hands, paying $187,-
G18 Ki wages, and usiug $1,740,911 worth
of material. The capital of these factor
leb was $! ,000.000. and the value of the
itunmil product $G 035.753. Four-filths
of the material product of these cities are
