been carefully and cautiously penned,
and being strictly true. Tht question
may fairly be considered as settled.
There is no doubt that anew gold coun­
try of vast extent and fabulous richness,
embracing large portions of' the three
Territories of Dakota^, Mfntana and
Wyoming, is unfolding it» ffMlth to the
enterprise of civilized minify
And as all
these, auriferous regions,MXi»race supe
rnrr agricultural andgrasingknds, rerr^
dering them self-sustaining in their
natural advantages, it is equally certain
that permanent institutions of civiliza­
tion will be established from the begin­
ning, and that they are destined at any
early day to be populated by the most
intelligent, refined and enterfkising of
the race. This is a manifest destiny
so clear that no prophetic ken is needed
to comprehend its full import. That
some of the more timid, who have never
been inured to the hardships of frontier
life, and who have not the courage to
face those dangers which all the pioneers
of civilization in the past have had to
encounter, have returned, and will con­
tinue to return, with gloomy and dis­
couraging reports of the country, was
to have been, and is to be, expected, for
this is simply a repetition of the history
of the first settlement of every section
of the continent—especially or the rich
placers of California and the silver dis­
tricts of Nevada. In saying this we do
not wish to be understood as under-esti­
mating the dangers attending explora­
tions among hostile Indians, for we
know that at the present time there are
dangers to be met throughout these
new mining regions the explorer must
be constantly vigilant, and ever prepar­
ed to defend his life from murderous
assault but the danger is inevitable,
and the price of getting first possession
of the gold deposits is to bravely "take
the chances." Thousands will and are
running the risk, and the influx is. so
great, that We feel justified in saying
that in another year United States mails
can be safely carried, by direct routes,
from Bismarck to Bozeman, in Montana
Territory, and to all parts of the Black
Hills. The Sioux will soon cease to ex­
ist as organized fighting forces. They
are now engaged in their final struggle
for continued possession of the rich re­
gions which are needed for the purposes
of civilization.
The navigation of the Yellowstone
river—now fully demonstrated—gives
easy and cheap access by way ot the
Northern Pacific Railroad and Bismarck
to the new mines on the Rosebud. Pow­
der and Tongue rivers and the lower
Big Horn. Boats have no difficulty in
reaching the mouth of the Big Horn
river from here. At the riiouth *f the
Big Horn, we are told, encouraging gold
prospects'
have been tound on the bars,
and. the topography of the country is
such that the mining districts recently
discovered by theMontana expeditions on
the head or the Rosebud aDd Tongue are
easily reached from that point or, if it
is
thought advisable, prospecting parties
can disembark at the mouth of the Rose­
bud, below the Big Horn, and follow
its valley right up to the diggings re-
ferred to above by Sir. Thottits.

The Revised4Laws.
Judge Bennett assisted by Gen.
Beadle, continued work last week
upon the revision and codification
of the laws, and is well satisfied
with the work done and the progress
made. Their principal work re­
cently appears to have been upon
the territorail, district and county
organizations, the officers for these,
their powers, relations, dutes,
deputies and qualifications. To per­
fectly adjust and systematize all
this and yet simplify and not com­
plicate it leave each duty plain and
each regulation easily found, was
a laborious and tedious duty. We
were pemitted to know some of the
pains taken to make it correct and
some of the changes made, and prob
obly no one who has not tried the
like task can imagine the labor or
think how much more than play when
they read oyer the result, which
seems simple and easy. We under­
stand this part will soon be printed
and if no other part of the law be
changed we are satisfied this will
meet with general approval, and
justify the commission. This part
however needs to be supplemented
by completion of the revenue law
aud others matters closelyrelated to
it.
Among the changes introduced is
one for the election of -a District
Attorney in each of the three judic­
ial districts in place of one for each
county. He is to be a territorial
oflicer and prosecute and defend all
suits iu each couuty of his district in
which the Territory or any couuty
is a party or interested. He will re­
ceive a fixed salary from the Terri­
tory and a fee for each case, aud can
receive no other pay or reward. An
almost entirely new law upon attor­
ney's is prepared, fixing there rights,
duties, powers, privileges and of­
fenses. The clerk of the district
court is made a couuty office so as
to use him for certain purposes but

ii e!-now. located and called "the
Botird of Co. Commissioners," and
some additional duties and super­
vision are given them, and special
strictness1 is enforced in drawing
warrants upon the several funds.
The territorial treasure must have
at least four freehold sureties to his
Hnd and the county treaurer three.
The law in regard to resignations,
vacancies anh removals is almost
wholly new, and is fairly strict, and
^ives the district court jurisdiction
in cases of all .county officers, upon
complaint by county or any indivi­
dual for offenses named, the proceed­
ings to be as near like the civil cas­
es as the case will admit. Principals
may require bonds of their deputies
for their own protection. Strictness
in the record of instruments is re
uired.
When and how officers shall
qualify is -carefully and strictly
created and provision is made for de
ay in case of contest. Accounts
and funds must be examined and
audited by the county board fully
once a year or oftener in certain
cases, and it a person be re-elected
to office his new bond shall not be
approved until the satisfactory in­
spection is made, all property, funds
and accounts produced, and this
fact shall be noted upon the new
bond before its approval. Thus
any error will be confined to the
year in which it occurs. The sub­
ject of fees has been touched but
slightly yet. The organization of
new counties and all the questions
which arise in starting them into
regular and orderly existence are
provided for. Notaries public suf­
fer no change of importance except
they receive a duplicate commission
one of which they file with the clerk
of court which authorizes him to
certify their acts. The whole sub­
ject of this code is not completed,
but so. far as noticed concerning
county government we should say
the revision places a larger powers
and stricter duties upon the county
board, defines and locates duties
and responsibilities of there officers
more precisely, looks towards strict
accountability, with guards and
cheeks, protects from fraud, and
yet is so systematize as to be very
simple and of easy reference.—Da­

appetites," remarked a Chicago miss
at the breakfast table, recently
"you should have seen my beau at
the theater last night."
"Did he eat a pound of chalk and a
half dozen slate pencils ironically
observed her ugly brother.
"No," said she, "but he got up snd
went out three times during the per­
formance, and "I'll beta cooky that
during the evening he ate a full
quart of burnt coffee and allspice!"
Then she wondered why every­
body laughed.— Chicago Journal.
