Editors Post:
The public meeting Of Thursday night, at
which ] was nominated for the Legislature,
was composed of large number Of respecta-
bic and intelligent citizens Of Memphis, re-
presenting nearly every shade OF political
opinion. In accepting the nomination
understood it 10 be that Of the people, ire
spectiye of party, or political creeds. Learn
iug that my remarks in acceptance were not
entirely satisfactory to a portion Of those

address e~mbOdying my views upon the diff

'AohLNuAONi WAANH II
THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL.
The Intelligencer of this morning
contains a long editorial upon the Civil
Rights bill, which is known TO embody
the Presidents views. The following
is a summary Ofthe article
This is a bill to abolish the States of
the Union. To effect such an object
but two conditions are requisite first
that doubtful Federal powers should be
used; and second, that the statute
should be efficiently executed.
lst 1t abolishes the State jurisdic-
ton. This is so because it makes it a
high misdemeanor for any person to
deprive any native %inhabitaut of any
right secured by this act
2i IL establishes negro superiority.
If from any cause the necessary police
regulations Of a State in its purely local
and domestic concerns should operate
to recognize a distinction of color or
race, however indirectly, this law may
be worked successfully to resist it with
the army and navy of the United States.
Negroes could be buyers of church
pews in spite Of the congregation, the
court, people, and the whole State itself
and no landlord would dare TO deny
them all the privileges of the hotel.
81 The proposed statute as a whole,
IS grossly unconstitutional
9Th There is q class of objections,
even more serious because more in con-
sonance with the revolutionary designs
of the contriyers of the bill 1t autho-
rizes the President to appoint spies
and informers, absolutely without limit
Of number, officers whom he may spe-
cially empower, Thus We have at a
glance n scheme the mcst imperfect,
contriyed by wicked men for provoking
hat extension Of military power, which
would lift it into a gigantic and all-per-
vading despotism, before which the
Liberties Of the people would 50 down
forever.
But, say they, the power is in the
President and if the despotism comes,
il will be through him. This brings US
to the most important practical point
Of all lie could not execute this law,
for he would not betray the people
They know he could not. They there
fore hope 10 pass it over his veto and
when he refuses, to provoke universal
insurrection, to be melted by the mon
strous tyranny to which they invite
him Knowing he cannot accept, they
will attempt to impeach and remove
him The sovereign people have given
the President a good support hereto
fore. We tell them the danger is not
over We counsel again meetings of
the people, to rebuke, by their mighty
force of authority the new danger.

in the 54th Massachusetts, volunteers,
that would, in a discussion, upon the
platform or in the press, exhibit deeper
insight into public affairs than many
commanders, whose names are house
hold words" When we read that Gen.
Somebody says this and Col. Nobody de-
nies that. we pay no regard to their opin-
ions on account of their unimportance.
We prefer, for high posts in the gift OF
the people, an intelligent civilian to an
Ignorant army officer.
In this connection, we will add that
the theory Of availability, which is
taught to destroy statesmen of talent
and build up brainless aspirants, should
be discarded by every party. On this
ground, the tendency of the times is,, to
select shoulder-strapped candidates, who
cannot utter one grammatical sentence
upon any proposition, or report bill OF
render any assistance to their constit-
uents or the government. If this body
of ambitious men can control hundreds
of thousands of voters by organizing
soldiers conventions the country will
be seriously injured. The ablest general
in war usually becomes in the reign OF
peace, the most supple instrument in the
hands of political wire-pullers. The
actual rulers wilrS he the unscrupu
lous demagogues, who use the name and
reputation of corps leaders, to conceal
themselves and gain their selfish pur
poses
The Montana post., 1866-09-22
THE CAPITAL OF MONTANA.

This question is the most important
one that will occupy the attention of the
so-called Legislative body that convenes
in November. The residents of Helena
have already commenced to work in this
matter, and will leave nothing undone
or unsaid, which will secure their favor
lite point. They have proclaimed in tri-
umphant tones their intention to remove
the seat of government from Virginia
City, and place it upon the banks of the
Last Chance. We admit that this act
cannot be legally effected, because we
sustain the courts in declaring the last
Legislature an unlawful assembly. But
if the members pass a law sanctioning
such proceeding, the measure will sue
ceed temporarily, if not permanently.
Citizens may complacently repeat, "The
Legislature can't change the location of
the capital" but, as the man who was
unjustly confined in the stocks remarked
to the lawyer, who sought to quiet him
by telling him that the authorities could
not do it, "they haze done it." Helena
will be the capital of the Territory, right,
fully or wrongfully, if the essential words
are spoken in the statutes.
The presiding officers of both houses
will be cheerfully bestowed upon mem.
bers from Virginia City if they will not
defeat the proposed scheme. We be-
lieve that the bribe will be spurned, and
that they will faithfully represent the
| unanimous wish of their fellow citizens
by opposing the measure in all its de-
tails. 1t may appear that we have spo
ken too early on this vital subject; bu,
it is necessary that the agitation should
commence now. The Legislation has not
been arranged by certain politicians, and
| it is wise for the parties who are inter
ested to discuss the matter before the
programme of Office holders, jobs anG
| laws, is settled. When this has beer
decided, the deed is performed, because
the so-called lawmakers merely execut,
what has been commanded by profes
sional lobbyists. Let the representative
who favor Virginia City refuse to cleo
to any office those that prefer Helena
and the capital will not be changed.

OBITUARY.

DIRD-Nsthan Floyd late of Leavsnworth, Kan
sas, killed by Indians near the Dry Fork Of the
Cheyenne, on the Bozeman Cutoff.
Mr.. Floyd was en- route to this place,
with a train laden with merchandise,
when he met his untimely death at the
hands of the merciless savages. At the
time of his death, he was riding in ad-
vance of his train in quest of water.
Twelve men, we'll armed, who went in
search of him, were surrounded by the
Indians, and after fearful struggle, five
only escaped alive, and each of these
wounded. When the body of Mr.. Floyd
was discovered, his head was severed
from it, and at distance of several hun
dred yards. He was pierced by scores
of arrows, and his clothing entirely torn
off. s..gs... .--..rgs. ..a,s....
He was among the pioneers to this
Territory. Leaving Colorado early in
1868, where, for three years he was
active and widely known, he arrived at
Bannack City in the opening summer
and engaged in mercantile pursuits Up
on the discovery of Alder gulch, he re-
moved hence, and was one OF the earliest
citizens Of Virginia City, and remained
here one year.
Born of Scotch parentage. in the north
of Ireland, he united in his characte,
the genial heartiness of the Irish with
the Scotch sturdiness of principle. HI
was man of stanch integrity and singu
lar purity of life. Amid all the allure
ments of a lax standard of morality il
an embryo state of society peculiar to {
new mining region, he ever stood un
tainted and unscathed. Firm, yet un
pretending, he was true to all noble in
stincts, and with few but decisive words
denounced vice and wrong, and by lif
and example, ever stood upon the side o
all things pure and true. Upright ant
unobtrusive, he walked the path of recti
tude with all fidelity, amid SO man,
temptations to wandering steps.
Of rare intelligence and wide informs
| ton, be was always interested in nationa
affairs, and was permeated with the spiri
of true patriotism and love of individua
freedom. In friendship ever faithful,
| seems to the writer of these line
that his melancholy death should no
pass without the need of this poor tr
butte to his memory.
Peaceful be his last sleep in his sa
and bloody grave, far from all kindl
ties, alone in the wilderness. Green b

The EXTINCTION OF THE INDIAN
TRIBEs.-The English are full of com.
plants that the United States do Eoi
preserve the Indian tribes from extiAc
ton; yet in New Zealand, an English
colony, the natives are fast disappearing
before the advance of civilization in
the shape of British muskets. Dr.
Featherstone estimates that twelty
years ago the native population Of New
Zealand numbered over 100,0 people
whilst now it is reduced to less than 10,
600, and in twenty years more will be bni
few hundred. Everywhere the atpri
gines seem to disappear before the|ad
vance of the Caucasian rase, and ths
efforts raade 10 preserve them, have put
little effect. e
