THE MONTANA MINING COMPANY
VETO.

In the Washington papers of the 10th, by
last nights mail, we received the Presidents
veto of the Montana Mining Company bill
in full. 1t is one of the ablest and most
comprehensive documents that has ever
emanated from the Chief Executive on the
subject of our public lands, and the princi-
pies which should govern in their disposal
and settlement In our brief article yester-
day we expressed some views which we are
glad to see are so ably sustained and elabo-
rated in this veto message. 1t is clear that
the lobby and monopoly system of disposing
of the public lands need thorough revision
and change. The President has hit the nail
on the head, and we trust that Congress may
lend hand to drive it home.
The reasons governing the President in
this particular case, are clearly and convinc-
ingly summed up by him as follows:
without further pursuing the subject, l
return the bill to the Senate without my sig
nature, and with the following, as promi-
nent objections to its becoming a law:
l.
tana Iron Mining and Manufacturing Com
pany pre-emption privileges to iron and
coal lands on a large scale, and at the ordin-
airy minimum, privilege denied 10 ordina-
ry pre-emptors 1t bestows upon the COM
pany large tracts of coal lands at one-six-
teenth of the minimum price required from
ordinary pre-emptors. 1t also relieves the
company from restrictions imposed upon or
binary pre-emptors in respect to timber
lands, allows double the time for payment
granted to pre-emptors on offered lands, and
these privileges are for purposes not hereto
fore authorized by the presumption laws, but
for trade and manufacturing
ID. Presumption rights on such a scale to
private corporations are unequal and hostile
to the policy and principles which sanction
pre-emption laws.
Sd The bill allows this company to take
possession of land, Use it and acquire pat
ent thereto, before the Indian title is extin-
grished, and thus violate the good faith of
the Government toward the aboriginal
tribes"

THE present morbid condition of the pub
lie mind touching the acts of men clothed
with authority by the public, should awaken
the serious thought of all who really desire
the perpetuation of our Republican institu-
tions, and the preservation of liberty and or
der. In our Judgment, says the Boston Post,
the Republic is in greater peril to-day than
it was in the very midst of the great civil
conflict which so recently shook it to its
very foundation. And that danger exists in
the Generalization of the public mind with
regard to the great fundamental principles
Of freedom and equity upon which our Re-
publican system is founded, and the indif-
ference with which violations of these prin-
ciples are regarded by the people. A siren
nous and persevering effort should be made
by all the agencies which bear upon the
popular mind to restore it to a healthy con-
dition, and to right thinking upon subjects
so near and dear to every one who prefers 4
true Republic to a despotism, and to revive
that spirit of eternal vigilance which is the
price of liberty

THE FENIANs AID New YORK CITY
PoLITICs.-The New York HerdLdesays the
political organs of that city have all made
a great mistake about the Fenians. The
Democratic papers have abused them, and
the Republican papers have abused them.
But the Fenians are by no means dead, and
it is not improbable that they will hold the
city politicians rigidly accountable at the
next election. There is plenty of time to
organize a Fenian party, during the sum-
mer, and to run a Fenian ticket, indepen-
dent of all political parties. Should this
be done, as it probably will be, under the
leadership of FERNANDO and BENJAMIN
WooD, the regular machines will be very
badly smashed. A Fenian ticket would be
supported, not only by the Fenians, but by
all sympathizers with Fenianism, who
rather outnumber the Fenians themselves.
Thus the political leaders may be left with
out a corporaPs guard, and the green banner
may float in triumph over the City Hall.

TIE death of w. w. SEAToN, known to
fame as one of the firm of GALES & SEAToN,
proprietors and editors of the National In
telIigecer, for more than fifty years, is an
nounced to the country. He had reached
the age of eighty-one years, and had been
the subject of cancer for some months,
which terminated his existence on Saturday
last
The elder partner, and brother-in-law of
Mr.. SEAToN, JOSEPH GALES, died in 1861.
In the sphere of journalism, no two men
who have lived in the country have done
SO much to elevate its character as
GALES & SEAToN. For half a century they
made the IntclLigencer the most able, just,
and candid journal in the nation. Earnest
always, and powerful in the advocacy of its
conservative views it never participated in
the coarse controversies which so much
disfgure the American press. 1t ever
commanded the respect of its political
opponents, and secured for its editors the
companionship and confidence of the first
statesman of the country. Mr.. SEAToN re-
tired from his connection with the paper a
few wears since.

THE LEADING OBJECTS OF THE COMPANY
are TO encourage immigration to our State and to
supply the demand for every description OF labor.
They propose to accomplish the first ofthese objects
by purchasing lands, where suitable water power.
or other advantages may be had for maHutactuT-
ing purposes; and also by purchasing lands in
large tracts, near cities rivers and railroads.
These lands will be divided into suitable lots
or tracts, and alternate tracts sold to the immi-
grant at near cost, the purchaser paying one
fourth cash and the remainder in one, two, and
three years.
The Company will also act as agent for large
landlOlde.s who desire to have their lands colo
niZed.
The Company proposes to supply the demand
for labor by furnishing Mechanics, Gardeners and
all description Of laborers. They will secure this
labor by being able to guarantee employment mt
remuneratIng prices in the most healthy and gen
ial climate of the world and they expect to salts
fly the employer by guaranteeing the delivering of
the labOTers to him at any shipping point or rail
road station. Our system for furnishing all kinds
of labor to all parts of the State we expect to
make perfect. For its detail refer to our circu-
lar on labor.
The profits of the Company will be derived from
the ultimate sale of the alternate tracts of lands
retained. and from the building up of villages and
towns in places adapted to that purpose and from
the aiding OF manufactures and the general de-
veOPment of the agricultural and mineral re-
sources of the State and also from the direct fees
derived from the supplying of operatives.
The basis of our stock being the lands of the
Company, any improvement Of them must en-
hance the value of the stock in the same ratio and
thereby be a safe and profitable investment to the
stakeholder.
The principal office will be in Nashville, Ten
nessee. and the Company design to establish sub
agencies in every county in the State. SubScrip-
ton books are in the hands of Arson Nelson,
Treasurer; Felix Il. Cheatham, Secretary. and
JOS. Saudek, General immigration Agent: who
are authorized to receive subscriptions for the
stock of the Company.

fayoritism in receiving copperhead visi-

ton is grayely made that loyal delega-
tons and members of both houses of
Congress have been denied admission,
while Tom Florence fitted in and out
repeatedly before their faces. MI. Cur

with saying that they know these re-
ports be true.
All suchstories are unmiiigated false

became President Florence is ac-
