questionof the apportionment^d the removal of the capital from Vir-^^nia to Helena, by a cart-before-the-^horte interpretation of the statute*, ia
ttrarting considerable attention at^.nT We have taken the following
tati*0* of tue respective counties of^Madison and Edgerton from the official^.^rdf*. and present them for the candid^consideration of persons of all parties^and in all localities. The wealth, devel^^opments, population and resources of^older sod established districts are some^^times overlooked in the excitement nnd^baftle of younger and more sanguine^communities. According to the appor^^tionment. Edgerton receives four mem^^bers of the House to two from Madison.^^n,e vote ot last September does not jus-^^itr th^t difference, even without con^^sidering that the population of the latter^;^scattered over nearly five times as^Urge ^n agricultural district and that^the vote was not brought out here as it^was in Edgerton, where the parties were^more nearly equal, and the contest was^hard fought on election day. Virginia^in onlv a portion of Madison county;^Helena is Edgerton county, or rather^mi* under the bogus legislatures. The^objection is made that Virginia is not a^central location. Had Idaho located her^capiud in the center of the original ter^^ritory, it would have been in the Yellow^^stone valley. Washington City is not^the center of the United States, nor is^there a State or Territory west of the^Xiseouri river with the capital so located.^Even was this a desideratum, what assu^^rance have we that the territorial limits^will be the same two years hence that^they are now^ The location and erec^^tion of expensive capitol buildings be^^fore :he Territory has been half explored^is rash injudicionsness.

.a change in that Church, and bodes ao^good to the one-man power in Utah, that^has so completely ruled in all matters^relating to this world and the next.^Outside speculations account for this^change of heart in various ways ; among
,which the fact that Brigham Young, Jr.,

ipolygamy in Utah, he would head off

A house divided against itself cannot^stand.'* Brigham Young evidently be^^lieves this much Scripture, and has the^nerve to enforce by excommunication all^discordant elements from his church^struct ure.when they cease to be satisfied^^ith the doings of the Ia^i\1 as revealed^to him, no matter how exalted their po^^sition. Three weeks ago he again ana^^thematized the Gentiles, nnd prohibited^the Saints from dealing wiih them, in a^^ermon(*) interlarded with blasphemous^oaths. This, however, is a modification^of the disgraceful obscenities of Young,^Kim ball, Wool ey and Clinton's pot house^ribaldries of 'oo, and tame compared to^the order ot Mayor Wells, in regard to^the forty teamsters who incurred the dis^^pleasure of the authorities in '58 or '59.^On^^ w.-ek ago last Sunday, Brigham^^cut off^ three of the ablest men in the^Church. The key to the whole transac^^tion lies in the fact that they have de^^nounced polygamy, and were creating^disaffection in the ranks. The appoint^^ment of Brigham, Jr., as successor to^Brigham. Sr., was a terrific blow to the^Ambition of the Twelve Apostles, and has^W to conduct on their part provoking^tbis desperate measure. From the 2'M^d^T of July, 1867.

MiWhen any person shall be obliged to^i leave his said shaft or pro.-pect hole, on any^business.and shall post on said shaft or prospect^hole a notice that he intends'to develope more^of said interest, which direction he chums,^dating the same, he shall be allotted fifteen^days from the date of said notice to return nnd^commence work.

Montam a Post^Mr. Editor \ As custo^^dian of the Territorial Cabinet of Minerals,^permit me through your paper to acknowledge^the receipt of a number of fine specimens of^ore from leads discovered in Brown's, Rams-^horn, Silver Star, Hot Springs and William's^districts; also two large fossils from Alder^gulch. The ores are all of gold and silver^^. the latter very handsome and of great value,^J showing native silver as well as the more im-^i portant sulphurets. The veins are represented^! to be of great extent and ores easily extract-^I ed ; and we are certain that no better loca-^| tions for silver mills can he found in the Ter-^i ritory than those now presented in both^I Brown's and Williams'districts. The ores are^j rich^of great abundance, easily extracted,^] situated among the foot-hills; are, therefore,^! comparatively free from delays caused bv deep^snows. Timber for building and fuel abun^^dant and easily obtained. Water pure and in^sufficient quantity for milling purposes. We^are therefore gratified in calling the attention^of capitalists to these leads, which must in a^short time rank high with the silver produ^^cing mines of the world.
Afine bed of fire clay has been opened in^j William's Dittrict. which has been tested and^| so far proven to be superior to any yet found^i that we know of in the Territory. We have a^| specimen in our Cabinet which can be seen,^j and persons desiring to test it can be supplied^! with any amount desired, by Mr. Reese, of the^I district.
Mr.Kirby, of Bannack, and Mr. Pratt, of^I Hot Springs, each inform us that we may^! shortly expect fine collections from their re-^i spoctive districts, which we are assured will^prove a valuable addition to our small collec^^tion. We say small^this is true, for whole^districts are yet unrepresented, and not a spe^^cimen can be found from many of the noted^leads of the Territory. We await their arri^^val with patience, for when parties interested^in the quartx of Montana look over our col^^lection and ask for specimens from tbis or^that lode, we must answer^^The parti-s in^interest have not sent them in, notwithstand^^ing all have been invited.

stillheld good at the time of his death. Re^nouncine hi' parole, he made his escape from^Van Delman's Land and arrived in New York^'on the J7th of June^^1852. Lai media re]*- on^his arrive! be was enthusiastically welcomed^Hv the eiritens of all parties. The Common^Council of New York presented him with^Cornrdimentarv address, and invited him to a^public procession and the hospitalities of the
icitv.This he declined in a very eloquent let- duty connected with his office, at the time of^ter. allying as his principal reason for so do- his death
lng.that those who had shared the daneer^and misfortune^ of the attempt to free his na^^tive land were still in captivity, and that it^|wW^l! he unworthy of him to accept any ova^tion while thev were in exile. For the first^three years of his residence in the United States^he devoted himself to lecturing before th^Literary societies of the great cities North^and South and became acquainted with the^1 ^n.lire men of both sections. Early in 1858^he started the ^Irish N^ws,^ but wishing to^have a more active field for the exercise of hi^talents, he sold out in 185S. and went to Cen
tralAmerica. The result* of his explorations occasion to assemble and give expression to
inthat country appeared in a series of charm
finelywritten articles in ^Harper's Magaiine.^^On bis rernm from Central America the war^of r*be]]isn broke out. and although attached
rftothe South from personal associations of th^most cordial character, he still felt and saw^that it was his duty to sustain the authority^of the United Stntes, and he determined to^support it by his presence in the field. Of his^brilliant career in the field we are all eognis^ant: suffice that the famous Trish Brigade an^dor his command won imperishable laurels all
[throughthe Peninsular campaign, and parti^cipated in all of the important battles. For^his gallant and devoted services in defense of
ItheNational cause. President Johnson placed^him on the list, of brevets, on the termination^of the war. He was appointed Secretary of^Montana in 1865. and arrived here in October^of that year. Since his arrival in Montana be^has prominently identified himself with the^material interests of the Territory, ever aiding^them with that earnest, impubive generosity^of spirit which was a marked characteristic of^his nature. Gifted with talents of a high^order, and endowed with a liberal education^his efforts on the rostrum or in the study, were^among the most brilliant of the day. Rich^in the lore of ancient days, a ripe scholar, an^observing traveler; uniting with the quick wit^of his native land a fervii fancy nnd ideality^toned by the pathos of an exile's life, his for^ensic appeals were models of b^nuty and elo^quence. In social life he was courteous, ami^able and hospitable, and a welcome guest in^every circle. The intelligence of his uutime^lv death spread a shadow of gloom over every^heart.and the public tributes of respect are but^the exponents of the sincerest sorrow by th^people.

Ibvba,M. T., July 3d, 1867.^Whrrras, It has pleased Almighty God to^take from us by accident our esteemed friend^Secretary (late Acting Governor) Thorns:^Francis Meagher, who was drowned at Fort^Benton on the night of the 1st inst., by fall^ing from the.-teamer G. A. Thornton,
Now,therefore, I, Green Clay Smith, Gov^ernor of th^ Territory of Montana, do direct^that the headquarters of the military which^were established under his direction and au^thority in the various districts of the Terri^be draped in mourning for thirty days.
Ifurther request that the offices of the^Federal officers of the Territory, be likewise^draped in mourning for the same length of^time
Itis but due to the memory of our decease,!^friend and fellow-officer, that we should hold^him in fond remembrance. He was a man of^high social qualities, great urbanity, a high^onii'r of intellect, a brave soldier, a true gen^tleman, and an honor to his Territory and^Government. This sad bereavement will be^felt by every one who had the pleasure of his^acquaintance throughout the. Territory and^the Nation.
Intestimony whereof, I have hereunto set^my hand and signature, and the great^seal of the Territory, the day and yea^[8eal]above written, nnd of the Independence^of the United States of America, the^Ninetv-First.

Andyel I cannot let the occasion pass be
ofthe Court, without adding my testimony to^the manly .raits of character of the lamented 0f^dead.
Thoughnot as intimately acquainted with
countryto the close of his eventful life, as^many gentlemen present, yet I think no on*^bere has a higher appreciation of his eminent^qualities than myself. He was a gentleman^of moat extraordinary mental endowments, of^intellectual culture, of social attainments, o~^generous impulses and patriotic emotions. In^the world tl letters, or in the forum, in this^or any age, few men have left a brighter record^of genius than the deceased. Some of hi^orations are a marvel in classical elegance, in^boldness of thought, in beauty and brilliancy^of expression, and they deserve, as they will^take, first rank in the higher style of English^composition

Duringthe greater part of his residence^among us, by reason of the absence of the Ex^^cutive, he cischarged the duties of both Ex^cutive and Secretary of tbe Territsry. To^the ordinary duties of these offices of late has^been added the burdens of a threatened Indian^and ail know tbe anxiety he felt, and^with what alacrity he brought the resources^of the Territory to the field of threatened in^vasion by sarage foes, and thus restored con^fidence to tbe timid and security to thehome-^teads about to be deserted

MeetingIn Virginia
Ata meeting of the citisens of Virginia^City, M. T., at the City Hall, July 5, 1867,^Judge Hex. L. HoMner was called to the^chair and Wm. H. Chiles appointed Secretary
JudgeUosmer in stating the objects of the^meeting said
Gkrtlkmkn:^In rising to announce the ob^^ject of tbis meeting, 1 am oppressed with a^sense of gloom that I find it difficult to over^come. Gea. Thomas Francis Meagher IS no^more. The suddenness of this intelligence not^less than his distinguished character, and the^position he held among us, render hi.s decease^an event, which it is almost impossible to rea^lite
Itis now about twenty years since I lir.-t^heard of Thomas Francis Meagher. He was^then represented to be a young graduate who,^had began with others to resist the English^domination of Ireland. He had been arrested^was tried, and sentenced to death, but his sen^^tence was commuted to banishment. I next^heard of him upon a lone rock in the South^^ern Ocean, waiting an opportunity to come^to America. At New York he was tendered^an ovation, which he declined, but took up^his abode ia that city, where he became a fav-^oiite with all classes. Honor and respect^flowed in upon him, from the moment he set^foot on A met iran soil. His generous Irish^nature, which had been exhibited in the Strug^gle of his own country for imdependence,^found ample development in our receut war^with the south and the glorious achievements^of his Brigade, are fully narrated and illus^^trated in our History. At the close of the^war, he received the commission of Maj. Gen^at the hands of President Johnson, and soon^afterwards was appointed Secretary of this^Territory. Since his arrival two years ago,^his life has been spent m.der our observation.^We have had opportunity to listen to his^pleasing and instructing conversation^his^surpjissingly brilliant orations, and to profit^by the exuberance of hie social and friendly^nature. He possesed a noble heart^a gener^^ous and manly spirit,and a most genial di.-posi^tion. There wa^ nothing in his faults to ex^^tinguish the fire of great virtue.^and like all^theluults of geuiu.-, in the light ol his won^^derful powers, showed that like the rest of us,^he was human.^Let us then gentlemen by suitable resolu^^tions, te-tify to our sense of bis worth, and to^the great hats which we have all sustained by^his sudden and untimely decease.
Onmotion of Maj. Jno. F. Bruce the chair^appointed a committee consisting of Cipr. J.^H. Mills, Samuel Wo id and Judge Wm. Y.^Lovell to drait resolutions, who, after a short^retirement, reported as follows :

Thatin the record of his life we read from^his earliest days a daring spirit of liberty that^flashed forth in his nativ* mountains and^beamed with renewed lustre on the battle^^fields of this Republic, endearing him to the^American people, as a worthy, brave and^trusty patriot.
