June 21s*, 1876. .)
Bannack is the pioneer camp of Montana*,
for here goid was first discovered in paying
quantities, and the first sttmpede that resulted
in anything was to Grasshopper Creek. The
first discovery was made in the fall of 1662,
four miles be'ow the town ot Bannack, and
the discovery was called White's bar, an
honor of the discoverer. John White, who
killed in the following year by horse
was
thieves. Mandeville, Eeriah, and others,
known as the St. Louis Company, struck dig
gings about the same time, and noth parties
claimed to be first, but the honor is now gen
erally conceded to White. Two towns started
up and both grew rapidly, but Bannack held
the lead, and "Yankee Elat," on the opposite
side of the creek, has disappeared. Bannack
to-day is the liveliest town that I have visited
this season,* business is brisk, everybody is
employed, money is circulating, and grumb
lers are scarce. The placer mines continue
to pay, the mills are running, and the silver
leads are looking remarkably well, several
rieh strikes having lately been made. The
business men of Bannack are fully up to the
times, wideawake, liberal, and enterprising.
C.. OTrask A Son have several trains on the
road, and will ship a heavier stock of goods
this year than ever before. S. F. Dunlap is
engaged in the drug, trade, carries a large
stock of goodsin his lice, and en joys a liberal
patronage. George W. Dart is dealing in
stoves, hardware and tinware. Earl &
Dempsy carry a very large stock of general
merchandise, and the express office of Wells,
Fargo &* Co. is located in their establishment
J. C. Kepler, jeweler and watchmaker, basa
'lue stock of goods in his Mne. Henry Fond
deals in groceries, drugs and stationery.
Harby's brewery is the most extensive estab
lishment of the kind in Montana outside of
Helena, and judging from appearances, the
most profitable; everything is conveniently
arranged, cellars roomy and cool, and an
.abundance of pure water. Mr. flarby ad
vertises this property for sale, and it is an
opportunity seldom offered for somebody to
step into a safe and lucrative business. Wm.
Merry is proprietor ot the.Eagle Stable, and
is careful and attentive to all stock left in his
care. J. B. Crow runs the Metropolitan Meat
Market, assisted by George W. Sperry. Geo.
Taylor is the boot and shoemaker, and claims
to be the champion workman of Montana.
Peck/fc Bishop, of the Bank .Exchange, have
a fine billiard hall, do a large business, and
are deserving of all their success. John
Steger is chief engineer of the Gem Saloon,
and useoncoctor of bibulous drinks is a grand
success. The two hotels of Bannack are a
■crédita» the place, and 1 can assure the trav
ailing public that they can rely on good grub,
clean beds, attentive waiters, and moderate
kills, at either the Goodrich House, C. Mul
key, proprietor, or the Metlin House, pre
sided over by J. C. Metlin. Mr. Mulkey has
a livery stable in connection w h the Good
rich House and makes it the head quarters of
the celebrated stallion, Treasure Boj. A.
Bassette, one of the lucky owners of the True
Fissure mine in the Trapper district proposes
to visit Canada this summer, taking in the
Centennial. .By the way, James Ferster is still
a resident of Bannack, and is as jolly as ever.
Win. G. Kepler, is head school master and is
in every way qualified to fill the position,
don. Thos. Watson, is building a blacksmith
shop, his present stand having been selected
as the site for the new court house. The
professions of law and physic are ably repre
sented ty Hon. C. Mead and Dr. E. D.
Leavitt. The public buildings of Bannack
are a fine Masonic Hall, with a school room
on the first floor, a church building, a hall
over the Bank Exchange and the jail. Work
on the new court house will be commenced
soon by the contractors, Messrs. Steel & Tas
ker, and their names ai;e sufficient guarantee

How Hayes Was Noaitmled.
New York, June Id.—Returning from out
of the smoke of the Cincinnati contest,a few
suggestions have interest. What combina
tion nominated Hayes ? is asked by alL It
did itself. Every attempt at previous com
bination «failed, and the only agreement
Pennsylvania and New York could make was
to stiek to their own candidates. Don
Cameron, snore than any one else, defeated
Blaine, a»d a majority of his delegation was
for Blaine all the time. When Cameron
could not deliver the delegation to*:Conkling,
he spent himself in appeals to stick to Hart
ranft. When four of the Pennsylvania dele
gates rebelled against the unit rule, Blaine's
friends supported the right of independent
voting reg-ardless of instructions. This was
clearly right, but it offended Cameron, and
also destroyed the rule under which the ma
jority in the delegation could have compelled
Pennsylvania's vote to go solid*for Blaine.
At the critical moment, Cameron » being of
fended, struck hack and withheld from Blaine
all the votes he could control. He did not
wish Hayes, but he did not want Blaine un
der circumetanees that would deny him
Cameron) credit for it. It is complimentary
to Blaine that Cameron could not cocat upon
obtaining from him a consideration for de
livering Pennsylvania's vote, and sc he with
held it. The general agreement for Hayes
came upon the spur of the moment. The
eminent danger of Blaine's success indicated
by his ballots, « rallied all bis opponents to in
stant combination. Bristow was impossible ;
Hayes had no enemies ; he had a record in
which there wa3 no danger. He had a hun
dred votes already, so Hayes was .taken.
There seems toffiave been little plan or con
cert about it. It was an instinctive fusion of
a desperate opposition. Blaine's original
friends stood by him to the last. His last
vote was the highest, and w r ithin thirty of
sucoess. Hayes' nomination, while it did not
provoke the favoritism that Blaine's would,
has smoothed away the bad feelings that
would have followed that nomination .on
some.questions. The nomination of Hayes
was like oil on troubled waters—all the ele
ments .seem satisfied. Blaine men bear their
defeat with the utmost good nature. The
hand, j
nomination is acquiesced in on every hand, j
sod tbe eonreation lies smashed the political 1 a
rings. Spencer and Shepherd were formally
turned out of the party, and a blow was dealt
at the Cameron ring in Pennsylvania such as
it never received before. A fierce conflict is
now predicted in Pennsylvania for and
against the Camerons.

The Dead Lock.
New Yore, June 21.— 1 The Sun's Wash
ington special says : The Democratic mem
bers of the House charge that the Democratic
members of the Senate are no better than
Republican members of the House, with this
advantage on the side of the Democratic Sen
ators, that they are covers for their Repub
lican associates. In the commktee of con
ference appointed to dispose of the appro
priation bills, the party seems hopelessly
divided on this important issue, and when
the surrender is made to the Republicans
will be glory enough for that party to say
that the Democratic members of the Senate
repudiated the action of their own partisans
The House propose to avoid this embarrass
ment in this way : That the joint resolution
suggested by the President should be passed,
renewing all existing appropriation bills un
til the 15th of December, with the under
standing that if the Republican ticket is
elected, the Senate bill shall pass, and if the
Democratic nominees are elected, the House
bill shall be concurred in by the Senate. The
proposition is a novel one, yet prominent
Democrats of the House seem to prefer this
plan to a dead-lock from which there is no
hope of escape. All salaries are to be paid
as now provided ; but to be re-adjusted next
December if the bill appropriating lesser
amounts should become law\

The ex-Speaker's Health.
Washington, June 22.— Blaine is -worse
and is confined to his bed, Surgeon General
Barnes thoroughly examined his case this
evening, and 'finds him suffering from ex
treme exhaustion, and from severe mental
depression. These features of his case are
complicated somewhat with threatened or
ganic troubles, and Barnes prescribes abso
lute .rest for several weeks, as the indispen
rible condition of averting very serious «con
sequences, and that the rest betaken in some
invigorating air on the sea shore and moun
tains. 1 Doctors Pope and Verde,who were in
attendance upon Blaine during his original
attack, have been urging upon him the same
course prescribed by the Surgeon General.
The Blaine Republicans.
Bangor, Ms., June 22.—The Republican

Maine, this Convention respectfully com

Massachusetts please take notice—A mes
sage was read from Blaine, saying every
effort must be made to give Connor a mag
nificent old-fashioned majority in September,
and Maine must pave the way for the tri
umphant election of Hayes and Wheeler.
Gov. Connor was re-nominated by accla
mation. W. W. Thomas and N. A. Far

and reaffirming adherence to prohibition.

The Sew York Pres» on the Bounty Bill
New York, June 21.—The Times severely
criticises the equalization of the bounty bill,
passed by the House yesterday. This mis
chievous, costly bill seems to have a charmed
life, as it was passed before but w as stopped
by not receiving the President's signature.
It calls for the expenditure of an indefinite
amount, some placing it as high as a hundred
millions. The Times calls attention to the
fact that when it w r as passed by the former
Congress, it was called a specimen of Repub
lipan extravagance.
The World, on the contrary, praises the
bill and joints with pride to the fact that the
entire South votes for the measure as a sign
that they are now loyal.
The Tribune's Washington special on the
House soldier's bounty bill, says : The Dem
ocratic House boasts that it has made a re
duction in the appropriation bills of $40,000,
000, and yet it passes a bill requiring the pay
ment of Ihree times that sum, when no con
tracts exists requiring it, when it is not ex
pected and when it is not asked for. It is
known, also, that if the bill should become a
law\ only a small portion of the money would
reach the hands of soldiers, the bulk of it
passing into the pockets of attorneys and
claim agents.
The Herald also denounces the bill.
Lord Derby on the Treaty.
London, June 22.—The Telegraph supports
Lord Derby s position on the extra
dition question, which concludes as follows :
Tis better there were no treaty at all than Eng
land yield to any power her immortal right
to know upon what ground, and what an
offense the meanest refugee is surrendered
from her soil. That is the principle which i
dominates in British matters, and Lord Derby
J 1
has the whole nation behind him in the policy
he has followed throughout the present com
plication.
THE EXTRADITION.
In tiae House of Commons this evening,
Thomas Rowley, liberal member, gave notice
that he would ask Disraeli on Tuesday
whether negotiations are progressing with
the United States for amending the extradi
tion treaty between that country and Great
Britain, and that Parliament be afforded an
opportunity during the present session to dis
cuss the principle of amending the treaty.
Edward Jennings, Liberal, asked Burke,
the Under Foreign Secretary, whether the
Government of the United States had taken
the necessary steps to complete the organi
zation of a fishery commission under the
treaty of Washington.
Burke in reply said negotiations had been
progressing some time, and he had hoped
the organization of the commission would be
shortly completed by the appointment of
three American Commissioners. He could
not enter into details regarding the settle
ment of the question betw r een Canada and
the United States.

ident in regard to the case of Winslow
was read in the House yesterday;
printed and referred to the Committee
Foreign Relations.
Mr. Sherman called up the House
resolution authorizing the Secretary of
Treasury to issue $10,000,000 in silver
in exchange for legal tender notes. He
mitted an amendment providing that
dollars shall not hereafter be legal

ury to limit the coinage thereof to such
amount as he may deem sufficient to meet
export demand for the same, which
agreed to.
Sherman said he thought at least $20,000,
000 should be issued. He moved to

amendment to have the public printing done

after discussion, w'as agreed to. An item

Secretary of the Treasury to reserve out of
the revenue of the District of Columbia a suf

the same to that purpose.
Mr. Randall moved to add a provision in

times as the interest be due, the decretory of
the Treasury shall advance the amount neces

After debate, the amendment was adopted.
At this the House voted to cut off the debate

Jimmy Arnoux's Cow.
Upon the departure of the steamer Carroll,
on the 16th inst, a very exciting and ludicrous
scene took place on board of that staunch
vessel. The Hon. J. M. Arnoux had con
tracted to furnish the boat w ith a fine and
gentle milch cow, at that time peacefully
grazing upon the luxurious bottom of the
opposite shore—thus Captain Burleigh is al
ways looking out tor the comforts of his pas
sengers. The Carroll left the Benton shore
and straightway went to receive the much
coveted animal. The boat being made fast,
about two dozen roosters encircled the bovine
standing there in readiness for them, and
having under the supervision of Mr. Arnoux
fastened a rope around its horns, they by
main strength pulled the animal on board the
boat. Here the scene changed as did the
mastership of the noble craft. After a few
furious bellows, the animal took supreme
command, the roosters disappeared in crevi
ces and took refuge among the cros 3 -beams ;
Capt. Burleigh quickly ascended to the pilot
house, and the Hon. Mr. Arnoux was heard
to yell from underneath the boiler : "A mis
take, boys ! This isn't my cow. It hasn't my
brand on!" After clearing the deck the
Texas steer, for such it really was, majesti
cally walked on shore and solemnly devoured
a quarter acre of primolo odorato. No milk
