Letter from Montana.
HELENA. NJ. T.. F.

HELENA, Nj. T., Feb. 4, 1866.
Ed. COURIER Il often think of Shasta
and its dear people. | have thought, per-
haps, that few lines might not be amiss to
them all, as l know they are all anxious to
heor from the rural district or far off region
of the Rocky Mountains, for such Helena is
placed in, not being more than twenty miles
from the summit, and twenty-five miles from
the nearest point of the Missouri, and one
hundred and forty miles from Fort Benton,
the head of navigation. This is quite
young place, being but eight months old, but
is much larger than Shasta, and it is sup
posed it will be the emporium mountain
town, as they are talking of making public
road from Fort Benton to this place, and
from here to the head of navigation on the
Columbia The weather here lately has been
very cold, the thermometer being 46 degrees
below zero There is about two feet of snow
here at present.
l suppose you have had very fattering
news from this country. From what can
learn so far. some of it has been exaggerated
and others under estimated for almost every
person that was here last summer says that
it is very rich country in gold and quartz.
1t is not half prospected yet. New discover,
les were made all the time until snow and
cold weather stopped everything; but lately
there was a stampede made to Sun River,
which terminated in about one hundred
freezing their feet, ears and fingers very bad.
Some of them has had to have their feet am
putated. There was five frozen to DEATH
The gold is very fine. 1t passes for eighteen
dollars per ounce.
Provisions at present are plenty and rea-
sonable. Flour from $25 to $50 per hundred;
bacon 63 cents per pound hams dol send
you the prices current. Board at hotels from
S14 to $40 per week.
l suppose you have heard of the Vigilan.
tes here. Their laws have made the best
governed town here have ever seen, for l
have not seen single pistol swung to man
since l have been in the place and what is
more remarkable, not even a drunken man.
The weather has been very hard on stock
all over THE section of the country. Beef
cattle will command good price here in the
spring. and work cattle, they say. will bring
from 5000 to $3.50 per yoke. Times are very
dull at present. as we are all frozen up tight,
and can do nothing; but from what they all
say, as soon as spring opens there will be a
vast field open for wanderers and travellers,
and in riches next to California.
There are two distinct classes of people
here. Those from the Eastern States are
called $ Tender. Feet" and those from the
western slope are called +" Yonder Siders -
and, what is strange, they are strongly op-
posed to one another
With these few lines l will close, hoping
they will find you all enjoying Gods bless

Amend 1t.

There is pending in our Legislature a
proposition to amend the Constitution Of this
State SO as to require the election of the
Judges of our Courts and judicial officers at
the general election for State and county Of
ficers. Experience under the present system
of electing our Judges at elections held sep
arately from our general elections, has un
doubtedly shown the people that our judicial
elections are not we'll calculated to express
the will of the majority. Two special judi
cial elections have exhibited the remarkable
fact that in neither instance was there cast
more than two thirds Of the legal votes Of the
State.
While the judicial elections are as impor
tant in their bearings upon the public inter
ests as the general elections, and are more
important to the personal rights and safety
of the citizen, we find that a large proportion
of permanent, substantial voters remain
away from the polls at the judicial elections.
Our judiciary being elective, it can require
no argument to show that the method of their
election should be such as to call forth the
greatest number Of legal votes from among
the people. And what system can be so well
calculated to do that as to render an election
so important in its consequences that every
elector must see it at once. Combine the
election of Judges with the election of State
and county officers, and you render the sys-
tenn of franchise at once simple, economical.
| and effectual.
| But while the Legislature are engaged In
reforming this matter, they might unques'
tionably improve the judicial system Itself
| in one respect, at least. Why not also amend
| the Constitution so as to authorize appeals
from cases tried in Justices Courts to the
| The jurisdiction of the Courts of Justices OF
the Peace are important under our system.
| These Courts have cognizance of actions in
| which the amount of the demand or the value
Of the property in controversy does not ex
| ceed three hundred dollars-making a con
troversy of sufficient Importance to affect the
condition and prospects of poor man, who
must rely upon his honesty and industry for
many years. The decision of the County
Court, upon appeal in those cases, as now
provided in the Constitution, is final The
proper adjudication of demands of such an
amount often require an accurate and tech
nical knowledge of the law. But the County
Courts are not generally composed of law
yers, only few of the Judges of these Courts
outside of the counties containing cities, or
the larger towns, having ever pursued the
law as profession, or paid any attention tc
it as science. Why should not the poor
man, who comes into Court with his small
case, have an equal chance to have justice
done him according to law, under rational
and enlightened system of jurisprudence, as
the rich man, who may be heard in the first
instance in higher Court, in a question
involving thousands of dollars. and then have
the decision Of that question reviewed in the
highest tribunal of the State?
