But we were too late. Rahli for Garfiehld!! News of a fight between Major llges and a band of Uneapapa. Sioux Indians at creek, will not much astonish any one familiar with the temper of the savages in that vicinity. After a. sharp fight in which three Indians were killed theband surrendered. Old frontiersmen have pre dicted Poplar creek to be the scene of an inevitable massacre, and unless further .litary aid is soon sent to protect the settlers. the result nust be a ve'ry fearful one. Probably no people on earth carry the association and convention business to such at ridiculous extent as is done in Alnerica. We learn that a Druggist's Convention \will take pllace in St. Louis next Spring. An anxious people will await with fear and trembling the result of this debate among the dispensers of quinine andt arsenic, and if any new fan gled pills result from their deliberations, the coulnty will rebel. We are already, it might be properly said, a pill trodden peo ple. An approximutte statement of the ceInsius * has been made public. An examination of the population tables shows Montana and Arizona, of about an equal number and both ahead of Idaho and Wyoming. Utah, New Mexico and Dakota are fit to become states, and the latter certainly will very shortly. Kansas has nearly a million peo ple and is 200,000 ahead of Minnesota. Colorado, the 'youngest state has 194,679 people, while Nevada a state also, has only 62,205 souls-less than one half as many as Utah, a little over one half less than New Mexico, and L72,237 people less than Dakota has! These are facts to study over and then it is in order to predict the new state. The New York Hlerald comnmen ti ng upo the Chinese treaty thinks our bete noir, Chinese immigration, a question of not dif ficult adjustmnent. The Chinese Govern ment is hostile to emigration, and an :agree ment with it to withhold passports fr'om all :ailing from Chinese ports, with the excep tion of those whose pursuits ill America aire those of study. trade or commerce, woull meet with mutual favor. There aire, however, few emigrants from ports l'properly Chinesei , the great majority com inig fom Hong Kong, a British port, or from those o naltions other than China. Such Chinese inmmiirants the United States is at liberty to either receive or reject, as it may choose. The II sbttuh;lijown in speaking of the need of road taxes thur wisely counsels the Conmmnissioners to avoid levying any tax immediately: The Legislature is to con vene next mo.,th and there is rumor about divisions of counties. Some of our neigh bors seem envious of Meagher's prosperity and are eager to gobble slices of her valu able territory. We are in the midst of a severe winter and it is uncertain as to the extent of the losscs that may be sustained among the locks and herds. Should the loss be severe, by defering the, levy until the March session the county will be in position to give the necessary relief, by way of leniency in the taxation. Besides, we do not know what turn may be taken in the Legislature.' One of the prominent measures before Congress is a bill to relieve the United States Supreme Court of its very heavy docket, and to guard against its being so over crowded in future. Attorney Gen eral Devens recommends the increase of the Circuit Judges Who will sit with the Supre'me Judges on their respective Cir cuit benches, and finally decide all causes where the amount involved is less than $10.000 and to only grant appeals for less amounts where so complex a question of law arises as to warrant the right of ap peal to the Supreme court. The New York Herald of the 17th. in an able edi torial, objects to this plan as not always liable to meet the ends of justice as thoroughly as a final decision by the entire Nationfl Tribunal. Senator Blaine and others, believe that the number of judges should be increased to thirteen: that with such an extra, working force the future business col aid always be kept up with nad * the present !docket alowly cleared. The n objection toý Senator Blaine's plan seems to be, that it Wil! not meet the present . demand for a very early disposal of the ac cumulated cases, inasmuch as one reason why the eight hundred undecided suits re main is the time occupied in listening to argumenis. The judges are now oyer worked. As the same court hours riust be maintained and the cases have become" erso much more numerous than formerly, the entire court of thirteen justices would be obliged to work night and day to keep fully up with its decisions, and have but oo little time to resurrect the old ones. 20 8. The Benton Hotel Company have gone: s to work in earnest. They propose to brtiil: °a large, brick hotel on Front stieet, early 40 next summer. We commend the enter 40 prise but regret the local squabbles . that ' bred two hotel schemes, one for each end i of town.- The site chosen for the new hotel er is a fine one, and though 6we still think, ior that if all the merchants combined, the .n- community would be more pleased to have ,ot one magnificent building centrally located, hr yet we are more than glad to think .of get ting any number of good structures for hotel as well as for other purposes. est Will the American people ever let poor Cs Kate Chase alone Yever was an unfor be tunate lady so mercilessly dragged before the public and so scandalized, It is a sin __ and a shame. If she was unfortunate, or even wrong to have formed [so unhappy a he marriage as her's was to Gov. Sprague, it nevertheless ill becomes every news paper and every community to grab the s unfounded rumors of her want of chastity Sad hurl them back at her in her distress he ing condition. And it is a pitiful sight to h- behold men of high positions, whom to rd oall statesmen were] a disgrace, seek to im justify political opposition'to Roscoe Conk ling, on the ground of suspected illicit re .re lation with the daughter (of the late Chief we Justice Chase. ble S MONTANA AND CONGRESS. Legislation for the Territories by Con X- gress is always deferred until the need o it it becomes so imperative that a few hours on attention is devoted them and they and theil he lobbying delegates thence dismissed fron r further consideration. The Territory o, Montana has been most fortunate in senu e Iring military appropriations, and Ithrougl othe exertions of her delegate, Hon. Martir we M1ag ifiie, has perhaps fared better that i l her sister Territories. BTat ith eomrmol - with all tlhe future great States, we com ri- plain of the neglect of Congress. l- The Secretary of the Interior In his re, 'e. port devotes some little space to Utah, and Sconsiderably more to polygamy in Idaho. Id He fails to mention Montana, a Territory at attracting more attention throughout a America to-day than any other two men es tioned; and of al~ the Indian countries, in upon which the Secretary dwells so long d in his theory on civilization, no notice is taken of that portion of Montana porth of aL1 Benton, where a large percentage of the emost hostile Indians dwell. We do not he propose to argue the Indian question but ul cite the reportof Secretary Schurz as a pow erful instance of a lack of representation to Congress of our great needs. e I The appropriation for the survey of pub to lie lands for the coming year is twenty in five thousand dollars for Montana, where 's we have no surveys worth speaking of, and is forty thousand for Dakota where the pub ill lie lands have have been easy to locate, it and where the surveyor has, years since, of done his full duty. In this case we see Ii- again, that as a Territory becomes a near s, prospective State, whether her wants are it very great or not, Congress is ready to o- make larger appropriations and to heed her cry for admission to the Union because of is political gain to one party or another. )n Such an appropriation for the surveys of Id this Territory is absurd ! It would not be id gin to pay for a complete survey of lands h, in the county of Choteau alone, much less le the whole Territory! As yet, there has been no sum voted for the improvement of o- the Upper Missouri, Right there again, a. we point out the inequality of the appro 79 priations voted when we know of the enor mous sums expended on portions of the as lower Mississippi where, grant it, travel is s fifty times greater, but where, per contra, ss the river was far, far better to endure that ly travel heavy as. it is, than is our Upper Ie Missouri with its very dangerous and shai low rocky channels, fitted for navigation by even our comp:anatively small steam? 'o boats. Our Territory has forty thousand inhab itants. It is safe to say that over pne third - of these are the immigrants of the past two e- years. To meet the wants of this increase, 11 to better carry out the policy of our Gov C- ernment in reaching each member of every community, individually and wholly, we C, must have facilities extended as our people re multiply. And what does Montana want? ts It is easy to say, we want this and we - want that, but can reasons for obtaining r what we pray for be advanced ? We think a" they can be. We want an increased judi ciary. The Supreme Court consists of it only three members and the litigation is too frequent and of too serious a nature, in many cases, to receive merely the pass d ing opinion of a Court, because of inability 1e to find time to consult the law. Our judi x cial districts are too large, the distances to " 1be travelled by the Judges too great, and It the terms of Court too seldom for the ends ' of Justice to be so well satisfied, as they y would be, were the present districts de Screased in size, another one formed and Sa fourth Judge appointed t;o bear his share e of the work. d We want a careful re-survey of our pub e fic lands, supposed to have been once loca ii ted. Of the immigrants now seeking II Montana, a large proportion come with: the y idea of farming. No man, however, wants " to improve a valuable piece of land with a n vague uncertainty of his whereabouts and the disagreeable and unprofitable knowl e edge that some day or other, he may be d ousted and his labor gone for some one y else's benefit. We want the Missouri, from o Carrol to Benton, improved. The river is -the main entrance to Montana but it has f been blocked, and boats after July 15th of e each year run a risk of being broken bro ken to pieces in crossing the bars. A s corps of engineers have done splendid a work within the past two years but we s want more'money and more extensive im f provements, that our season for naviga -tion may be availed of from April to No v vember. SWe want our penitentiary increased in g size. It is no largerthan it was two years since, but we have one third more people · to incre4ie otr erime and he lp *dl ver i crowded cells. o We want the Desert Land Act re aled in so far as it is applicable to Satern ontana, Qr, we want a distict bd final rutinig by the proper authorities to tt he eflct thiat thelaw i# not meant for then no portionE. ' Capitalists have, through perjt it ry and fIase representation, become . pol Lc- sessors of the most valuable agricultur, on tracts in some of our counties. Up to ver e- recently, the pre-emption or homestea to claimant could not find a spot to sett] er upon along a creek, evea, for he was in ilt mediately told that "that land was alread ne4 taken up as Desert Land." Notwithstanc ly, fig the running water and timber an id moist soil, the cormorants had twisted th ep Desert Land Act into so pliant a form th: ,ut it embraced anything and everything the wanted it to. Congress should repeal th ne law, declare entries heretofore made, -sw i pended or void, and thus remove a gigar I 4ic impediment to Montana's settlement. We have mentioned some.of the matteI at liable to be brought before Congress, i ad any are, and have tried to briefly show tel reason for all we ask. That now is th time for the Territory of Montana to re he ceive most benefit from: wise legislatio: no man will dispute, for the impetus of th past two years will continue to carry he e along with the Progress of the far West. i ror taken advantage of. But while attentioi is drawn to our resources we must best se them forth, and while we have the poten or reasons by a statistical exhibition of ou >r- wealth, for demanding what we need, theli re is the time to ask the consideration o in Congress, or The present session will be a short one aa but if the Territorial Press and Majo ie, Maginnis combine,. a great deal can b fig accomplished. Spo-Pee, the Indian murder sentenced to be hanged February 4th, should be exe to cuted in' Benton, and for these reasons to The influence of so terrible a death a. to hanging is the most powerful in the sup k- pression of murder. That influence wil be thoroughly exerted in Helena by mean ief f hanging Pelky, On the other hand should the .cliadu nsurderer be e eutcld a Helena, away from his nation, while tlP general effect will in no way strengthei the example to be by Pelky's expiation, i fl' will signally fall to inspire among thl of Indians the awful dread of the white man' Ira laws--a dread so necessary for them to bhi it' imbued with to proventfurther crime. I ºm the Indian should be brought to Benton t of be hanged, an opportunity will be afford u- ed, and be availed of, for other Indians t, "h behold the execution. Again, the hang in ing would be close to the Indian country an an argument of itself strong, as the new ,n of the avenging of the crime at a plac, ," near the hunting grputjdapf the nltirdreo would travel to his kinsmen more rapidly C and create a much more dreadful fear it id their midst. The main great end to be o. sought is, in this case, not only to preven Y a repetition of the crime in general, bu ut more particularly to bring the lesson horn "' to the Indians. With the redskins as witl 8, the whites, to stop crime we must prove t( g tiepoerpetratQrs that the law will be re. is venged, that all men must ffe it, and thal of if it be disregarded the offender shall suf he ter. lot .. When we read of the severe weather in the East and iii the South, we 'of Montana cease to feel like the fox with his tail cut off, and though some of us with true b- Christianity pity our relations in the States, most of us are cruel hearted enough to secretly rejoice at our company. For d the first time in a quarter of a century, ib- there was good sleighing in Atlanta, Geor te, gia, on the 4th, of Jaitqary, just think how the old miners of Confederate Gulch ee must have rallied on that day and how ar each one found a ready listener to his lik re ing the sport with the winter weather of to Montana in the "good old days of yore." ier The Cheyenne River Sioux Indians in of Washington expressed great regret at the or. expected retirement of Secretary Schurz, of They said they have been more prosperous )e- under his administration than ever before: .do that they were higher in the ideas of white ss men and of themselves. We believe the as general welfare of the Indiana h as been of greatly advanced under the Secretary'E n, able government of them. The very fact o- that his policy has been se criticized, fairly >r- or unfairly, is indicative of its having he wrought great changes. Whether or not is these changes hate been, on the whole, a, permanently beneficial to the Indians is at yet to be fully demonstrated, by time er alone. No mninister of the Cabinet of i- President Hayes has labored more zeal )n ously to do his duty, than has Carl Schurz. He will retire with the respect of all Amer icans who appreciate an honest and able b- public servant. rd vo PREMIUM ie, ;G A LLERY! re le_ t? HELENA, M1ONTANA, ve MADAME M. H.

S- Senator IJlahone, the Oracle. 1 CHIcAGO, Januti.ly 3.-The Inter-OCean's s Washington special says: Some weeks ago d Senator elect Mahone, of Virginia. was in ie this city for two or three days in consulta tion with the leading Republicans. In a y few days the result of this conference will L- be made public and will cause a political d sensation of tremendous proportions, both e North and South. It will be nothing less It than a statement by Mahone to the country y at large of the position of the re-adjusters e upon the debt question with the view to uniting with the Republican party in Vir ginia and in the nation. It has been urged for some time that the only difficulty in Sthe way of uniting the Republican party if was the financial policy of the re-adjust a ers as understood by the country. The e Republicans could not, without stultifying - their history, endorse the repudiation pol i icy.: Senator Mahone has declared from e the start that he was not in favor of repu r diation, and that his position has not been f understood by the country. Geo. C. Gor r hafilrhas-been his friend throughout the t discussion and had, urged IMahone to make t a statement in term or t ration r of the country. It is announced that the Vi Virginia Senator has tially come to the f canclusion that this is the proper thing to do, and the sphinx that has so long puz zled politicians will be no longer a mys r tory. The address has been prepared for some days, and has been-seen by the lead era of the Republican party. Indeed, it is understood that witi the last few days it - was taken to Mentor by a friend of Gen. Garfield. It was fully discussed by him, and, it is said, has his cordial approval. With this authoritative commendation, Gen. Mahone has agreed to submit it to the country iand it is to appear the last of this week, iThe statelent is regiardod as practically an offer to enter the Republican party and unite with that organization, as it is at present construed, against the Bourbons. Senator 3Iahone shows that his party are the true debt payers of Virginia, and dis closes facts that will put a new aspect upon the affairs of that State in the eyes of the North. His friends and prominent Re publicans declare that he will stand before the country as an honest niman in the light of this statement, endowed with practical and sane views. It will be shown that those who legislated for funding and re funding in Virginia did so in the dark, knowing :alld cuiring hut little for the wel fireo of their State, A Tender Farewell, WASHINGTON, January 4.--The Chey enne River Sioux delegation starred home ward this evening. In taking leave of Sec retary Schurz, they exp ssed great regret at his approaching retirement from the In terior Department. They said that they had advanced further in the white ;man's wyaya, aqd heen Itore prosperous in the last four years, than ever before, and they regarded him as the best friend they ever had. The Brule and Yanktonnias Sioux i will remain severa. er, the Secro tary h.aving granted :tid quest made by these Indians that they should be allowed to see Congress in session, The Supreme Court. The Supreme Court of the United States reassembled to-day after the holiday re cess. All the Justices were present except Hunt, Clifford andi Woods, The last named will prohbably tAke his seat on the bench on Wednesday or Thursday. No decisions were rendered. The Democratic members of Congress now in Washington seem to be unanimous ly of the opinion that some apportionment measure should be passed at this session, and say that the dominant majority fully intend to take action on the subjeot. Representative Thompson, of Kentucky, a member of the Census Commission, re marked to-day, that in view of the general mandatory provision of the Constitution concerning Congressional apportionments he thought this Congress would be guilty of a grave direliction of duty if it waited to pass the apportionment bill. Besides, he said, the legislatures of eighteen or nineteen States which will be in session ' within a few days, could redistrict those States under an immediate reapportion ment, whereas, should the apportionment be left to the next Congress, most of them A, would be put to the trouble and expenseI of an extra session. He believes an ap portionment bill can be promptly enacted regardless of any real or imainary effect upon political parties, and says his col leagues on the census commissioln share these convictions, and will labor to secure the desired action. It is undersateod that the commissioners are inclined to leave it to the House itself to determine what shall be the total number of Representatives for the next decade, and will report only the necessary framework of a bill, together with several alternative propositions on the aggregate membership. California will gain one me ' under any one of these propos l..... - I isfirobable that before a conclusion is reached there may.be considerable inter esting debate as to how far the present constitutional amendment is contravened by States in the North, as well as in the South, by property qualifications and vari Sous other restrictions on the right of suf | t', ,, ILrpe. A local paper-to-day publishes a letter from ex-Senator Mitchell, denying a state ment made by it that he is trying to ob tain a place in Garfield's cabinet. New York and Tennessee. ALBANY, January 4.-The [Republican members of the Assembly, in caucus to night, unanimously nominated General Sharpe for Speaker. Skinner withdrew in his favor.

Re publican, was elected Speaker of the House. The Senate ballotted for prestding officer twenty-five: times without .result. Ramsey is rather more of a Greenbacker than a Republiean; and was a compromise candidate accepted ,by the Republicans. The State credit and low-tax Democrats to night decided to vote for a Democrat for the Senate presiding officer. Cabinet Talk. .x rEW YORK, January 4.-A Washington special to the Times says: One of Blaines friends says the Teasury portfolio balances between the Eastand the West. Garfield signified his intention to tender the posi tion to L. P. Morton, but a strong pressure is being made to have the place given to the West. Senat r Allison, of Iowa, is mentioned as onef the most prominient Some gentleimen uy at the .interests of the Pacific section are enlarging so rapidl3 that Garfield cantiot, in justice to the Fai West, decline to select a man either fron Colorado; California, or Oregon for hi, fn's cabinet; and Mills and Sargent, of Call ago fornia, Mitchell, of Oregon, and Roult, o: in Colorado, are names mentioned promi. Ita- nently for the place. The movement fo Sa Roult, of Colorado, seems to be the mosi viii popular, as the strongest, and the fact thai tal Gr nt has expressed himself favorable tc oth Roult, should a selection be made fron ess that section, is increasing that gentleman', try strength with the Far Western mlen. ers Senators Hill and Teller and Represen. to tative Bedford have arranged to visil ir- Mentor to urge the selection of Roult, and ed at a meeting held by these gentlemen to in day it was decided that no efforts should rty be spared to press upon Garfield the im st- portance of recognizing what is called "the 'he claims of the great new West."
