THE MONTANA MINING REGION.

We hear from Virginia City, Montana, that
the gulch or placer mines are not producing
near as largely this year as in the two preceding
years. The ireshet in the Spring buried up
many of the claims, and many OF the miners
have left for other places. Helena, or Last
Chance" 100 miles further north, attracts a
large number; a town has sprang up there
very suddenly. Almost every man in the Terri
tory not engaged in gulch mining is largely inter
ested in quarter claims. The great production for
a short time last year OF one vein at Bannock
City gave start to this pursuit, and the sue
cessft sale of several lots of claims at the East
has given such encouragement to it that it is
now the absorbing interest. The Legislature
gave stimulus to it by making the claims real
estate, and not subject to taxation, which, how
ever may be all undone by Congress. Under
this legislation, any one claiming to be a resi-
dent of the Territory. on discovering a mineral
vein of any sort, so that he can swear TO a

THE NEW "AnysTOCRACY.,

Ever since our Democratic friends blundered
at Chicago by declaring that the "war was a
failure" and were so handsomely whipped on
that platform, they have been casting around
for a new record We do not pretend to follow
their variOus shifting changes of policy, but
only TO notice the last. Wherever Democratic
Convention meets we are sure to have speech
about the Bond AriStOcrats, and demand 'ii''
Government securities shall submit to the IaA
imposed mon State and local corporations
The poor people are told that the National Loan
is an exclusive privilege conferred by the uoV-
eminent upon its supporters, ana thaV 'he pos
SCISSOR Of bonds is an aristOcrat-an enemy OF
the people, free from the taxation that Expresses
the moor man, and allowed to grow rich and
fat while the lowly starvc. There is no know
inc tbe mischief these clamOrS may create. a
similar clamOr about the COnscription caused
the riet in New.York, although three months
had not passed before those who shouted - Yea,
Yea" were just as loudly shouting Nay, Nay
There are three points to be observed III reply
10 all this:
/. Congress has no more right under the Con-
stitutiOn to allow States to tax National Securl-
ties than it has to allow them to tax gold and
silver coin, or legal tenders. or Government
ships and cannon. The Government has the
right to levy war, and raise money without con-
sultng local Legislatures. To deny them this
right would be to make the Legislature OF any
State or the corporation of any city superior to
the National Legislature.
H. Even if this constitutional restriction did
not exist, We were so placed when we raised
these loans that money could only be had by
extra inducements. SO VIC offered large in
terest, and made much Of this proviSO that the
bonds bore no tax, other than the regular In

very glad to get it Oh these terms. The Copper
heads never proposed TO offer us better.
