Mr. Wade presented a series1 oi r, .<,t ,nm. car,-fully selected to tFuit ,lo. i.xi'vencies of the case, from the plat :,,rm adopted by tle DIemocratic (Cm vention of the State of California, .June 19. !?87 ,t fwhich the following resolu titnii. are a >prtion: R,lcolvdl, That the Government of the l-nited Statee is the paramount Government of the country, and that the allegiance due friom the citizens to such Government is a bindiun and perpetual obligation to be ob o'-rvcel with fidelity and good faith. Rc·e Iye !. That the questions involved in the h::te r chllion have been practically settled by the w.ar. and it is the duty of all to acquie ein ti-;s s.ttlem wit, and endeavor to restore fli.ocd Iv rel.tions between the different sections of the ct untry Pied re-establish the Government in it. contitutiounal authority throughout the Union. Re.-olved, That in order that our national difficulti.e mi:y be speedily adjusted and the LUnion restored on a permanent and satisfac tory badis, the State: lately in rebellion should be dealt with in a spirit of kindness .and for bearance, and we r-gard the course of Congress i wIhat are known as the reconstruction mne - ure. of that body as harsh, illiberal, opprea -ive. and more likely to result in a hollow truce than endluring peace. 'These were rejected after a Ishort die t cussin, simply because they acknowl edl ed an allegiance due the Government of the United States, and held that the war was ended, something not contem plated by the left wing. There was, tll anothler resolution, from the same series, oflered by Mr. Wade, if possible still more obnoxious to them: Resolved, That the paymet of the public r dqbt is a solemn duty resting upeo the Go, eminent, and that the people shoa i cheer fully submit to any just ssmel of taxatioe necessary to enable the vernmmt to dis Scharge this duty, bat no ten sheal be lu se xcept to meet the necessary e ms l *be n ov'ernment and sustain the pibl. careu. This was wholly inadmstsabl as re Brick Pomeroy, the Orpheus of Mmussa Democracy, bad recently struck the fol Slowing key notes, which, although dis cordant, even logically, are gresabae notes of harmony to disloyal ears: SThe is not the least doubt but the preemt e- national war d'bt, the monetrou. labort-etra k ling re~ults of Republican legi.lation, fraud and incompetency, will be repudiated in less than four years, as it should be. A A little further on in tle same article he say,: If the South is a conquered nation, it ide law of uations that the conqueror Ilast yLs all debts ow.d by the conoquered, aid thld i nmu-t b" done sooner or later in this instance. W\hile we regret that we are compell ed so to do. by the irresistable logic of facts, we are necessitated to believe that the Demaocratici party, so-called, of M m tana, are inimicil to, and prejudiced against, not only the Union party, fltt the (fovernment of the United Sttt-., having no heart interest in its honor, wel.lare or l;,rpettuity, except when in the handls of olden Ieniocrats or their illegitinmate modern nanit-sakes. It is inlimosbible to conCeive of a more humill Sating and degrading position than that now attained by that party, and if, at t'is day. on a platform so utterly devoid of every principle dear to the Americar h. 'art, and ignoring all interest, in the development of the Territory, they can tiedct a candlidate whom themselves have !denounced as " wholly unreliable," we «vi!l havl:: mistaken American character, for wet hold there are no more worthy rep'resentatives of it than the rough Iauh."l, large hearted, inipualive, brave andt energetic pioner rs of the nimountains. a11a , 'U'T-.u aIu' G .H U T-CURTIN. ci W i ntiniin~ttt fr I'r(- idti~t of the ti i nited St;ates, 1.vt~st.sS.Grant,( eilenraI; *l f''r jicE* Prt-i-,int Ili(- IfniteId States, n: A ii~re"N"t .

It may Freak out in a moment n and waste a city in an hour. We have o Lad warning-; ~x,.ugh. It we fail to heed o them, we are 1 nat profiting by the teach ings of etvents. The loss by conflagra tion in this country is increasing to an alarming extent. From 1859 to 1864. the average losses by fire in the United u States were $18,000.000 per annum. In ti 1865 it was incrc-as-ed to $43,000,000. I In 1866. it was $100,000,000, and from tA the large number of destructive fires re- li corded during the first half of the present p year, it will not probably be decreased si for 18ti7. The fire in Idaho ('ity, in May, I destroyed 44A buildings, at an estimated k value of over %1,000,000. The fire in n .Council Blui--, on the 24th of June, de- II stroyed $300,000 worth of property. No Ii city in Montana has yet suffered from a great conflagration. Escape in the past p guarantees no immunity for the future, n and a hundred houseless, homeless and e penniless families may weep to-morrow o over the ashes of the roofs that shelter c them to-day. It is too late to act when a the evil is accomplished. Prevention is n better than remedy, and It is only by a p thoroughly organized, equipped and effi- u cient fire department in every town and I city that the residents have an assurance a of safety by day or night. Virginia has d an organization. It is composed of good o citizens, the best Of our people. They p have the necessary equipments, but can i yea have your company together and the apparatus on the grund in ive mla. Ii utes by day or night? If you cannot, it n will be iaeaiseat ender the most dan- tl gerous circumstpes, an early moreag p are, with a stiff bres. Does the 3ae e Mashal make ca~er l mad 'reclar In. b 4-v -T spaction of pipes, chimneys and flues . temember that summer fires are as fre- i quent and more dangerous than those of a Swinter. Helena has no organization. It p is abandoned for want of the most mena- e gre support from interested parties. b The town is courting destruction, its t people ruin. How many merchants 1, have insurance to cover their stocks, or funds to meet their liabilities, if they are t destroyed ? A careful and constant in- c spection, by a capable Fire Marshal, and I a well organiz.ebIre department are the a surest lreventatives. Some day it may I be too late to think of tlhese things. A few dolhi rs from each Ipriperty holder. invested in apparatus and a cent ral bhuild ilg to contain it, and these cmmnlitted to 11 capable and vigil;ant mIen. whot are to bIs found in every town, would be the bestiýj investment they could make. 1 .

This constitutes the sole purpose of the reconstruction acts over which so many crocodile tears are shed and post office sighs heaved from the heavy hearts of the Democratic party---so-called. EXCELSIOR. I The generous patronage bestowed upon TuE TILI-WI:.:KLY POST has made the experiment a permanency. It has long been the intention of the proprietors to enlarge the raper in proportion to the J liberal patronage, but an inability to procure paper has, until the present is sue, kept the project in abeyance. Through the courtesy ansi remembered o kindness of Mesers. Wilkinson and Re- F wan. of the Rockg Mountain Gazette, who have expressed us paper in advance qf . the arrival of our own from Benton, we are enabled this (Saturday) morning to present the enlarged tri-weekly. It is now increased over eleven columns in excess of the former issue, giving us opportunity to present a largely in creased quantity of reading matter, while displaying better the advertise- 1 ments. For some time our advertising ii patrone have crowded in their favors until our readers or they had to suffer. We have divided the suffering as equally p as we were able, and now can acoommo- a date all. Neither rates of subscription or advertising are increased. Our ex penses and circulation are inoreasendand Ii increasing. If you want to keep up - with the times yes mast read the papers. If you would succeed in business you mast advertise. We will try to furnish I the people of I onta with as good a paper as they maldfet a wintanpess toi sustla. Hithuers one earemag has bee piesseas aM lbesal, amabllag uas F; * o -l to furnish a journal that we can say a without egotism, has.been an advantage e and a credit to the Territory and the people. Our aim is to improve. The enlargement of the tri-weekly will ena- t ble advertisers to reach the principal s business communities through it, and IU leave uo nearly forty columns of thea weekly for reading matter. These, we c believe, are all the apologies we have to offer in presenting this morning our ý- c larged paper. The subscription L~onse are now open. AN EDITORIAL HOLIDAY.

In the seu'cceedinii iurnmler of the Ih .,ern.t the Maj,,r de voted a two columnn article to the Honl orable gentleman, whicth as it is :.lrop,,c, to the compaign now ,,tpened. and was K pironounced at the time by many 1)eo- t crate to be the "' le..t article that ever appeared in the Di)rocr, rt fro(, the Major' 1.en," we give the c.,nc liuding portion d(evoted particularly to the "'itln .rant wanderer." 'T'he article appear- 1 e1 in the D, ,,'rvrt of Feb.. 2'. 1Mi;7. "The personal allusions, which C('aiva naugh chos'l( to m:ake in regard to, us.are rather surprising. \e have never don . the individual :ut, harm.

Aiterwards at his written req nest, we straine.d our Conscience to it atmost forLearence to) putflhis speech be fore the tiupremne (ourt, in thie Forter case, which was regarded by ,both judgel-. hat.and bv-standers as the weakest effort ever made in that court.

We can assure Mr. Cavanaugh that het wholly mistakes tho, high-toned senti ment of the people of Montana, if he im agines for a moment that indnlgenco in blackguardism towards an opponent c will insure their support, or is a re commendation to the party that indulges t in it. 3iUG ,I r L1IUL mIeIrC irauiu be an early e ction for Delegate to Con gress, the names of various gentlemen have been mentioned as candidates. Me~esrs. Tutt, Mayhew. \V. L. Irvine, E. B. Waterbury, Judge Orr, Col. Johnson, Word, Shober and Cavanaugh, as well as John P. Bruce,are spoken of by their re spective fri4pds, and we have been clear ly of the opinion, that any one of the gentlemen named, except Cavanaugh, would be acceptable to the Democracy of Montana, and would make good Re presentatives in Congress. We have given expression to this opinion in pri vate conferences with some Democrats, and doubtless it was communicated to, Mr. Cavanaugh, and hence his abuse of us, and we propose, as he has forced the issue on us, to give the reasons why James M. Cavanaugh is not a proper person for the Democrats of Montana to select as a candidate for Delegate to Coagress. In the first place he has not been a citizen of the Territory twelve months. The Legislature of Montana in its discretion, has passed alaw requir ing a citizen to reside that length of time before he can run for Delegate. Whether the Legislature had a right to prescribe such a qualification or not, the people and succeeding Legislatures have acquiesced in it, and we think a man must be very thirsty for office, and have a very Aard ceek that would thrust him self on the people for office, before he lived in the Territory twelve anonths,and who believe Cavanaugh never rendered any public service in the interest of the people he seeks to represent. In the second place, we know that J. M. Cavanaugh, now of Helena, did ruw1 a an ind ad t ealndidate for (Uaonree in C , in 1866, and that his vote added to that of the r.tular Democratic candidate would have efected him, and we rea hid card announcng himself as I such candidate, yet in the report of his speech in the Gpizette,Cavanautgh brands the statement in the Montana Poet, in which the actual vote in that race is published, -'as a falstloº.ºta," when it Is true, and he adnmitte d to It gantlenian. sinc* tie 'artcl.' a plparnal.
