The Northern Pacific Railroad.

\ Montana correspondent of the Bos-
ton Advertiser writes !: The road from
Fort Benton to Helena is that over which
the Northern Pacific Railroad will pass,
and not a better railroad site, if l may
call it such, could be found in any Of
the Eastern States. The country is
rolling, with occasional ranges of high
hills, water at convenient distances,
wood in abundance ut several points,
and mines of coal that further develop
ments will doubtless prove to be very
valuable. No tnuneling and but two
or three heavy grades will be required
on the one hundred and thirty miles of
road between Benton and Helena, and
would suggest to the managers Of the
North Pacific Railroad that it would be
a source Of great qualification to the
people of Montana and Of profit to them
selves, if they would cause the road be-
tween the points named to be the first
section built. Between these points
there have passed, since the first of
June, three thousand wagons, carrying
six thousand tons Of freight, at an aver
age price Of three cents per pound, thus
putting into the pockets Of the freight
ers $50, 900.
"The amounts received from passen-
gers upon the stage lines and private
teams during the anne time, at an aver
age of twenty dollars per person, must
have been at least Sl2O, 900 more, so
that the receipts for transportation upon
that road have, in a little over W
months, amounted to $500, 900. OF
course this was during the busiest por-
ton of the year and results proportion
ately large could not be counted upon
for any length Of time, still annual re-
ceipts amounting to S5oo,Ooo could be
safely expected. Now, / have been over
the road between this place and Fort
Benton several times, and do not see
how it could cost over $40, 900 per mile,
so that with the present amount Of travel
and f~reightiug it would pay for itself in
eleven years. But that the receipts
would be much greater than those men,
toned after the road was built, no ono
can doubt, especially when We look to
the past and remember that FIVE years
ago the travel in this section wa, oil
performed by Indian dogs and ponies,
and was a source Of revenue to no one
a now and then when the red mes
senger of some fur company received y
plug Of tobacco or o pound Of sugar for
u seven days journey"

There is reason to hope that Congress
at its next session will take a forward
step toward the removal Of this "twin
relic Of barbarism," from among the
"peculiar institutions Of the country.
Ben. Wade says he is on the war path
against it, and the expectation is that
he will stick to his proclaimed purpose.
Il is not believed that he will indicate a
movement to bring the polygamists to
justice, as did another senator at the
last session, and then sell out to the
bigamists. Ben. Wade is above that
suspicion.
We cannot but advert to the folly of
the Assembly of Nevada, last winter, in
refusing to press a request for an an
nexation Of Utah to this State. The
General Government would have been
bound to see that the Gentiles were sup
ported in the difficulty that would
have arisen, and there would have been
lively times in u new State on account
Of the trouble. And the polygamists
would have been called to order in m
pie form, through a State discipline,
backed by Federal authority.
Brigham has got one daughter that is
e~minently opposed to the Z" peculiar in
stitution" of her papa. She recently
told him her mind pretty freely that
she would never consent to be o wife to
a polygamist. Brigham replied by some
allusion to the RIGHTEOUSNESS Of the
large cities of the East. go, what's
that to our city," replied the daughter ;
take and fence in Salt Lake City, and
roof it, and it would be nothing but a
great brothel."
When the Government takes decided
steps to punish bigamy in Utah, it will
have the votes of the women; yea, even
those of Brigham's household.

Where the people are rich, are well to
do, where the majority of citizens are in
comfortable circumstances" there is
where the estate" is rich. 1t is sound
political economy, viewed from any and
many points, for Uncle Sam to give
every man a farm AS the generous
rhyme runs. \ community is "pros-
porous" not where the wealthy lord has
his castle with the remainder Of the
people in feudal dependence or servi.
tude, not where the lordly manufacturer
absorbs oil the profits of the work of
the inhabitants Of q village pros
perity means a general, a common
wealth. Legislation should be framed
in this Republic, especially, from the
stand point and on the basis indicated.
Our fathers Of the Revolution repeat
edly and solemnly warned US against
what they name as one of the special
dangers of q Republic against an aris-
tocracy made by m%onopolies. Hamil-
ton says: "The spirit of enterprise
which the American people possess be-
yond any other people on the face Of the
globe, should be left to run its W glo-
rious free course ; neither hampcred by
legislative restrictions in the path OF
any endeayor, nor rendered imperative
for the common good by pampered mo-
nopolies in manufactures. The people
should have q full Measure Of liberty to
pursue any calling with mutual pros
pect of success according to their sew
eral abilities. Not the greatest good
for the greatest number, but the great
est good for the whole number should
be the motto Of the nation. If
the people be well to do and con-
tent, with few exceptions, the nation
will be rich and prosperous" And
Monroe says: "What l greatly fear in the
path of popular progress in this nation,
is the springing mp, and the fostering
by legislation, of gigantic m%onopolies,
which will impose burdens upon the
people ~grievous to be borne, and greatly
detract from the average prosperity OF
our citizens. What tho country is able
to produce for the supply of the univer-
| sal wants of mankind should be borne
to the people generally at the lowest
rates ; and the monopolizing specula-
lions in breadstufs or in the material
for clothing should be checked rather
than in any manner fostered by legisla-
ton" And Webster declared, it was a
'glorious guarantee of freedom and
prosperity in the southwest,"-the pro-
vision that no State should lay toll upon
the use of the nsrigable waters. Be-
cause, said Webster, "nothing has moro
directly tended to the perfectiug Of this
Union and the maintenance of the gen.
eral prosperity of the people"
The warning is repeated by statesmen
over and over again, directly and indi-
rectly against m%onopolies rs the most
dreaded evils in this Republic. Monop-
olies in the preparing of breadstuffs for
market, ~monopolies in the market, if
not from the mills, %mouopolies in the
manufacture ofwoolen and cotton goods,
and mouopolies in the carrying trade.
And all pronounce that maxim, so large
ly disregarded or so little comprehended
by modern statesmen: only when the
people arc in prosperity, and by the
average of their prosperity, is the Re-
public prosperous.

QUEER FREAK OF A LuSArIc.-A mar
who arrived from the country on Thurs
day evening, acted so s%ingularly during
the night as to cause his arrest on the
charge Of insanity. The following par
ticulars are given in the Herald Of last
evening : "During the night he aroused
several sleepers to look out Of the win
dow to see, as he said, q house on FIRE,
which he said belonged to him. After
this he got up and went down on the
wharf, bareheaded and barefooted.
Upon returning, he said somebody had
stolen his coat and his boots, and a
couple of ladies passing, he said they
were the ones who had stolen his
clothes. Officer John Kerr, sleeping at
the hotel, was awakened to take the
man in charge, and he took him to Jail.
Upon arriving there, he got upon a
wood pile and threatened destruction to
all who might touch him. His cries of
"help," and ''murder," were such that
o number Of persons rushed there, sup
posing the jailor had been murdered.
He was at length subjugated and placed
in q cell to await examination to be
sent to tho Asylum ."-Stoekton hide

TIE New York Herald has information
that influential Republican Congressman
are planning another attempt at recon-
cilistion with the President; they will
ask him what scheme he will agree to
for the speedy reconstruction and admis-
sion of the Southern States, and believe
that if he is reasonable, some plan can
be adopted which will gain the support
of q majority of Congress. 1t is said
that Senator Morgan, of New York, and
others opposed to impeachment and vio-
lent measures, are in this movement,
and that it is thought it will constitute
the nucleus of a new Constitutional
Union party. There is small prospect
now for the success of any such plan.
A year ago 1t might have succeeded,
but tho breach is now too wide to be
closed up. The prospect is that the
country will continue in an unsettled
state, and that the reconstruction diff
culties will be carried into the Presiden-
tial clection.-Sprinafeld Republican.

FLORENCE, October 2s.-victor Eman-
uel's soldiers refuse to fight against
Garibaldi.

Ministry will DO formed, thoroughly
radical, whose policy will be to make
Rome the capital Of Italy.
RoxE, October 26.-The Pope, in a
letter to the Bishops, asks them to order

CHICAGO, October 29.-Cable dis
patches of the 26th and 9th are full Of
wild rumors about fighting and the
movements Of Garibaldi. Fighting has
occurred within half o mile of Rome.
Garibaldi is at the head Of 10, 1000 troops,
and is being constantly reinforced.
Rome dispatches claim that the Gari-
baldians were beaten in the engagement
at Viterbo.
The Paris Monitear says the French
interference is not aggressive, and hopes
that Italy will cooperate to maintain
the entente eordias with France.
The Italian people almost unanimously
proclaim their sympathy with Garibaldi,
and are holding large meetings to adopt
the address to the King in favor of
Rome as the capital of Italy.
II is rumored in Paris that the Italian
Crown Prince will put himself at the
head of the army to resist the French.
Another rumor says that Victor Eman-
uel intends to abandon his crown.

WHERE THE POLICY CHAPS


1t is a favorite saying, in substance,
with the Radicals: "Those Union men
who oppose negro suffrage, do so from
q cowardly motive or suggestion Of
"'pOlicy." On the contrary, the truth
is, the "policy" chaps are on the other
side. The burden Of their argument is,
We must give the negro the vote so as
to retain power. We think their "pol-
icy" is very bad, even as reasoned
out ; that is, we doubt as to the negro's
guaranteeing Republican successes by
their votes; but suppose it correct: the
fact is that the Radicals are the ones
who preach o "conyenient doctrine"
For ourselves, we unhesitatingly and
emphatically say that We are opposed
to a Congressional law or a Constitu-
tional Amendment providing for negro
suffrage, on the ground Of the radical
outrage such extension of the privilege
of suffrage would constitute. AS to
this cry of "policy," we know of but
few who talk e~xpediency against negro
suffrage, while some who are opposed
to it in sentiment do pirate Of its being
su'thing that's "bound to come" and
to which all Union men will have to
lend their support. And some reason
their "policy" for negro suffrage after
this fashion: "Must have the native ne
gro vote to combat the foreign born
citizens vote assuming that the ne
groes will always vote right, and that
the "Irish and Dutch" do always vote
wrong; or, as one expressed it to US
lately, "the Irish are all Democrats,
and the Dutch are id uncertain"
The Radicals talk of "cowardly policy
men in the Union party" as alone oppos-
ing negro suffragel The d%enouncers are
themselves the d%irt-eaters Of u organ
ization. Push them for their reasons
for attempting to commit the Union
party in Nevada to negro suffrage, and
its grave, and they will at once-as did
one of them last Sunday, in Virginia
a Federal office holder - commence
abusing those whom they call the "iop-
cared foreigners" If it is not "poli-
cy" with them, it is something deserv-
ing an infinitely worse name. They are
so FREQ from prejudice ! Are they ?
How about their prejudice against
white men from Europe, who come here
with their families to labor and contri-
butte in manifold ways as working folks
to the substantial good and glory Of the
country? We have never failed to dis
cover the canes Of "policy" senti-
ments and q sinking Know Nothing
hate at the crop-and-gizzard bottom OF
the Hreasons" of the few negro suffrage
ties we have couversed with on this
coast.
We hold it to be the true policy to
advocate the right on this issue Of negro
suffrage; what n believes to be in
trinsically right. And we believe it to
be g~rievously wrong to attempt the es.
Enlistment Of negro suffrage through
out this nation. 1t is on "the principle
Of right" that we oppose the policy Of
the Radicals.

LAND IN DExASD.-A San Francisco
dispatch to the Sacramento Union con
sAins the following:
"The Pueblo Land League passed
resolutions of the most violent kind,
denouncing the action Of the Board Of
Supervisors in regard to the petition for
lots to be filed with the Clerk, and de-
claring, If the petitions are destroyed,
they will prosecute the Supervisors for
felony. They say they are determined
to have the land peaceably if they can
forcibly If they must"
The Pueblo land title is a grand hum.
bug, or it is an outrage. Congress did
well, did righteously in giving to parties
in possession their lands. The Bulletin
is principally responsible for getting up
the petition humbug it now denounces.
The land, the lots rightfully and law
fully belong to those who hold the
original possessory title from the locst-
ore Of 1880.
