QUERIES.

In tie call of the Democratic Cen
tral Committee for a Convention to
put in nomination certain candidates for
submission to the decision of the people
ONE TERRITORIAL AUDITOR is included
in the list. Will the Gazette or some
gentleman of the Democratic party please
refer us to the statute authorizing the
election of Territorial Auditor in Mon
tsna Territory2
The call is also made for the nom
ination of ONE TERRITORIAL TREAS
URER. Also, for ONE SUPERINTENDENT
OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION. We would
like to know under what statute, act or
bill, authority is found for the election
of these officers. 1t might not be out of
place to inquire if the Democratic party
is acting under the statutes passed at
the second session, the Annulment Bill
10 the contrary Notwithstanding We
would also inquire who abrogated the
section of the Bannack election law re
quiring Territorial officers to have been
citizens of the Territory for one year
preceding their promotion TO that Office
Also, whether the present Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction has been a
citizen of Montana for that length of
timer 1t is very iinpolite to be annoy
ing our Democratic friends with all
these inquiries, but we will make them
up in small doses and come often.

SENATOR SUMMER ON ENERAN-
CHISEMENT.

Charles Summer, in letter to the In
dependent, proposes to bestow the right
of suffrage in the Northern States ire
spective of race or color, by an act of
Congress direct, instead of waiting for
tie tardy operations of a constitutional
amendment, or trusting "to the chances
of local controversy and the timidity of
local politicians" The proposition goes
beyond any previous position taken by
the Republican party but inasmuch as
urged by one of the greatest statesmen
of the age, and urged as strictly con-
stitutional measure, the matter is worthy
of consideration. Mr.. Sumner accepts
the probability of veto and argues that
a two-thirds vote will pass it over such
a veto. Here are the arguments on the
constitutionality of the proposition:
Even without either of the recent constitu-
tioual amendments, i am at loss to under
stand how a denial of the elective franchise
simply on account of color, can be otherwise
than unconstitutional. / cannot see how un-
der National Constitution which does not
contain the word " white" or "black,"
there can be any exclusion on account of col
or. There is no such exclusion in the Consti-
tuition. Out of what text is this oligarchicaI
pretension deriyedl But, putting aside this
question which will be clearer TO the iurists
of the next generation than 60 Us, vouch the
authoritative words of the Constitution, ma
king it our duty to guarantees republican form
of government IN the States. Now as the
greatest victory of the war, to which all other
victories, whether In Congress or on the bloody
field, were only tributary, was the definition
of republican government according to the.
principles of the Declaration of Independence
a government which denies the elective fran
chire on account of color, or, in other words,
sets up any qualifications " of voters In their
nature insurmountable cannot be republican
for the first principle in a republican govern
ment is equality of rights, according to the
principles of the Declaration of Independence
And this definition, / insist, is the crowning
result of that war which beat down the rebel
lion under its feet. It only remains for Con-
gresS 20 enforce it by appropriate legislation.

to ditch and canal owners over the pub
lie lands and for other purposes" 1t
does not contain any compulsory provi-
sions. The quartz owner who does not
see proper to apply for patent from the
! Government, now holds his property by
guarantee, where $1,000 has been ex-
pended in developing, and these patents
are issued that the Government relin
quishes and deeds to the owners of min
eral lands, for the consideration of So
per acre and expenses incurred, all its
right and title TO the same, thus placing
it beyond the possibility of any subse-
quent legislation putting them up for
sale, or, as was suggested, retaining a
percentage of the gross yield of the
mines. The establishment of the Land
Office at Helena, of which Gen. Sol.
Meredith is Surveyor General, and Mr..
o. B. o'Bannon, Register, will put this
bill in active force in this Territory A
Government title can be secured for
valuable mineral property and agricul-
tural lands owned by the United States.
1t is an express provision in both these
cases, however, that the party shall be
citizen of the United States, or shall
have declared his intention to become
such. In some Territories, where this
law has gone into operation, it has ex-
cited discussion and harsh comments
but, while we do not presume that the
application for patents will be general
until property becomes developed and
valuable, we see in il decided advan-
tages to the miner, and none OF the OBJ
jections which many have believed it
contained. The last number of the Akd
contains in its Washington correspond
ence a statement that the Commissioner
is preparing full and explicit instructions
to the Surveyor-General of Montana in
addition TO the general instructions to
Surveyor-Generals. The accompanying
pamphlet is furnished free to sub
scribers To the POsT, believing that our
readers would desire to retain them for
reference, and this form was preferable,
for that purpose, to an insertion in the
columns of the paper.

ANATHEMA mARANATHA.

We like sturdy. straightforward, hard
hitting blows from the shoulder. We
like nerve. decisiveness, stamina. We
like language that cuts through the cob
webs of stupidity and gets into craniums
that almost require a surgical operation
TO accomplish the object. We like deci
sion of character and determination the
keen, needle-fanged, lion-hearted words,
that carry conviction, and the quick
thought to follow up an advantage; but
then, with all this, we cannot see the
necessity for, or admire, that implacable,
malicious fiendishness that would fell an
adversary, stab him in vital part, and
grin sardonic spitefulness in the glazing
eyes. while each gasping struggle for
breath is answered by another wriggle
of the sword in his gizzard. Heretofore,
to initiate the style of the Gazette, has
been the ambition of our life. It's classi-
cally beautiful lines, have been to US a
feast of roses" its lofty themes the
study of midnight hours. and it's origi
nality and depth of reasoning source
of constant admiration. But, alas poor
Yorick Like the hero of Bulwer's
Strange Story it is soulless. 1t has
no charity for the distressed, no sympa-
thy for the fallen, no garlands for the
brave, and we are frozen out of it's pres
ence. Witness the concluding sentences
in the last editorial of the last number,
and tell us that Democrat is a freeman,
that he can exercise his judgment ex-
cept at the dictation of the Delegate
Convention. 1t is speaking about bolt
ers from the Convention. Wall, ye " in
dependents" gnash your teeth and cry
." Woe is me-" for a limit is meeted out
beyond which, it you go, destruction is
certain.
- The poor wretch who presumes to create
dissensions in the Democratic party, will sink
so low in the depth of moral infamy that
political resurrection can ever reach him. Such
a creature would at once become an object of
such contempt and insignifcance to incur
the yelping of the dogs as he walked along
the streets. This, however, is mere specula-
ton. No such individual belongs to the Dem
ocratic party, Notwithstanding Christ be-
trayed by Judas"
We hope, for the sake of the "dogs
and moral infamy" and " Judas" that
no one will have the intrepidity to disre-
gard such admonitions.

start up?" and still we so on importing
four hundred millions of dollars worth
of foreign goods a year, for which we
export our gold and government bonds.
Costly luxuries are demanded, whose
chief merit lies in their being of English
or French manufacture and fer every
fash of diamonds and flutter oi laces,
there is the sigh of starving operative,
from whose skillful fingers the bread has
been snatched by that great Caliban-
Foreign Manufacture. There are por-
tentious premonitions of an impending
financial crash, and it will come just so
sure as we do not adopt and rigidly OBJ
serve the strictest individual economy /;
abandon the infatuation of patronizing
pauper manufactures of Europe in pre-
ference to our own production, and steer
clear of that Maelstrom of destruction in
all such times as these-Debt. Why this
crash should come, if this course is adop-
ted, there is no necessity. 1t has be-
come a superstition that years ending
with the figure seven always bring panic.
crises and bankruptcy. There is no
method so certain of precipitating ruin
upon the country as by placing reliance
in such absurdities, just as person can
induce sickness and even death by a
fanatical fear of and belief in il. So we
can, as people, by rendering ourselves
ridiculous, bring on this destruction.
There is no quarter where financial
crash will produce so little direct injury
as the bullion producing regions; but its
effects indirectly in preventing the de
velopment of our mineral veins and the
investment of States capital would last
longer, and ultimately be more perni-
cious ban in agricultural, commercial
and Manufacturing 4 communities. The
war over and with sufficient ability to
carry and redeem the national debt in
twenty years, it will betray a lamentable
deformiJy in the American character, if
we permit extravagant folly to blight
with financial ruin the brilliant pages
we have written in the history of mans
ability for selfgOvernment.
