On the reception of information Of the
death of General Meagher meeting of
citizens convened in Virginia city and
passed a series of resolutions expressive
of the feelings of this people. Mr.. Chiles,
the Secretary of the meeting, received
the following letter which we find in

Meagher in reply to his letter accom-
panying the proceedings.
BRAY, IRELAND, 14th Aug, 1867.
WM. II. CHILEs Esqr.-
My Dear SIR: Your very kind letter,
with copy of proceedings at meeting

POSTAL DECISION.

The Postmaster General has recently
rendered the following decision regard
ing postal charges 1t very kindly ex-
empts from letter postage all transient
printed matter tor Montana, except that
which comes by the overland mail route,
which, by the way, happens TO be the
only route by which it can come. The
decision has just about as much effect
upon our postal rates as the Tenure of
Office bin had upon the President in the
removal of Stanton. The following is
from the United States Mail:
Section 259, page GO, Postoffice Laws
of 1866, provides that letter postage shall
be charged On all mailable matter con-
veyed by the mail westward beyond the
western boundary of Kansas and east
ward beyond the eastern boundary of
California-except in the case of single
copies of newspapers, magazines and
| periodicals to regular subscribers and
| exchanges. Under this section all tran
sient printed matter was charged at let
F.; ter rates. The Postmaster General has
| decided that the section referred to is
not intended to apply to matter for Ore
gon, Washington, Idaho and Montana
when sent by steamer to San Francisco
and forwarded from thence by way oi
Portland, Oregon, or any other routes
except the regular overland route, bat
only to matter actually forwarded from
the Eastern States or California and
Nevada by the regular overland mail via
Salt Lake City, or some other point or
that route. Transient printed matter
directed to any of the above places car
therefore be forwarded by steamer from
New York at the usual printed mattel
rates of postage.

GINIA CITY, MONTANA SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2l 1867.

the Union prospered until the surrender
at Appomattox Court House brought it
down to the one-thirties. Money has no
politics. The National currency appre-
ciates and depreciates as the credit of the
government is menanced or sustained,
and with that alone. Since the removal
of Stanton, Sheridan and Sickles, and
the Democratic victory in California,
gold has gone up from 1.36 to LAG; in
other words, the National currency has
deprecated ten per cent. sThe outstand-
ing debt of the government on the LIST
day of September, 1867 was 81, ,492, 1885,
365.05. The great proportion of this in
debtedness is due to the people by the
government, and they are by this rise
in gold just $249, ,27S, ,33650 poorer. The
success of Johnson and the Democratic
party produces the same effect to-day
that disaster TO the Union armies did
during the war. The cause of this is
apparent. The Democracy have sound
ed the cry of Reputation, and the return
of that party to power is looked upon by
fnanciers as equivalent to the repudi-
alton of the government Indebtedness.
The success of rebellion would have ac-
complished the same end. The La
| Crosse Democrat, Cincinnati Inquirer,
Lynchburg Neacs, Metropolitan Record,
Helena Gazette, and other papers of that
ilk have spoken for it. Vallandigham,
PendletOn, and others are approaching it
cautiously in the Ohio campaign, and
JEFF. Davis would be false to his record
did he not advocate it. Reputation
means National dishonor, ruin and bank
ruptcy. Capital is sensitive, and the
gold barometer rises as the credit of the
country is menaced. At this rate a
dozen more removals and dozen more
Democratic victories would put gold up
again to $50 and increase the price 81
the necessaries of life to the highest war
| figures. This view of the case is of that
character that it is a practical matter to
every man, and while our Democratic
friends are rejoicing over the meagre
victories of 1867 we advise them to keep
an eye upon the gold market, and see
there if they find much cause for con
! pratulation

the registered voters did not vote in the
strong Union county of Nevada, one OF
the local papers there tells us that 'out
of 800 voters on the Great Register,
hardly $500 votes were cast in the
county" 1t was the same, we presume,
in nearly all the counties; and of those
who did not vote it is safe to assume that
nine tenths were of the Union party.
With a ticket such as the people would
have nominated the Union vote of the
State would have been 10000 more than
it is recorded. They were utterly dis
gusted at the hypocrisy and corruption
of the politicians who assumed their
leadership, and all the terrors of party
discipline and the insane rawlings of a
false hearted and pusillanimous press
were as unavailing as the idle wind. So
may il ever be. In this degree of spirit,
intelligence and honor, the welfare OF
the State is so safely lodged that no one
neas ever again despair of it.

CAUSE AND EFFECT.

There are instruments that measure
the density and temperature of the at
mosphere, foretelling the approach of
destructive storms or cloudless skies.
Their variations are governed by immu-
table natural laws. The rising and fall
ing of the mercury in the barometer is
not a more reliable indicator of the con-
dition of the atmosphere than gold is of
the condition of National affairs. In
1861, gold was at par. With the pro-
gress of the war it varied in quotation,
although in reality the standard of value
as regularly as success or disaster came
TO the government. Financiers are the
shrewdest politicians. They do not
measure events by the flexible rule oi
theory, but by their practical effects
He who read the gold report each day
saw at a glance the real condition of the
country. The Treasury endeavored to
control it, with millions of gold on de
posit to flood the market when the rise
was rapid, but the effect was temporary
and local. Its quotations not only re-
corded but anticipated the events of the
day. It reached $50 in the darkest days
of the rebellion and receded as ou-
armies were ricioylcus nd the cauzs s..

THE DEXTER PURCHASE.

One of the representative men of this
country is Robert Bonner, of the Ledger.
He has an ambition in all things to obey
Merriam's laconic injunction to "get.the
best" whether the best be brains or
beast. His columns and stables are
filled with them and and the latest adj
dition to his stud, next to Beecher, is
Dexter Bonner run down to Buffalo
and after seeing Dexter stretch his legs
on mile course in 2:17l, he coveted him
to the tune of $4,000 and secured him.
The following dispatch to friend, from
the race course, tells the story of Dex-
ter's change ofowners. What a pity he
did not secure Niagara. He could have
presented his lady readers with the
most immense waterfall, in addition to
other immensities.

"THE MORAL OF IT.,

The Sacramento Union of the 9TH, in
leader acknowledging the defeat of
tie Union party, purports to show 1.-THE
moral of the election" and designates
the result as rebuke by the people |" to
those who contested the right of the
people to rule as their fathers had ruled
before them," and says they have " set
the seal of condemnation deeply upon
the cheek of political corruption and con-
spring, overbearing corporations, seek
ing to rule the State in spite of the pop
ular will to the contrary" 1t may have
been necessary that the Union should
party, but for the leader in the contest
to issue a congratulation manifesto on
the heels of a defeat that is a stigma
upon the party, consider it in what light
we may, is ridiculous. The party held
a regular convention and nominated a
regular ticket. That it was not as strong
as might have been selected; that there
were names upon il that were elements
of weakness, and that some chicanery
common to all political conventions may
have been used in securing the nomina-
tions, may be admitted; but we doubt
very much if admitting all this, the cir.
cumstances would warrant the course
pursu by the Union, or if with this
result staring them in the face, the voters
of California would repeat their folly il
opportunity was offered. The Union
party claim and probably have in the
State clear majority of $4,000, yet the
Democrats elected their Governor and
Congressman by fully 10000 The Unior
party outside of California do not look
upon this result as one redounding to tn,
credit of California Unionists, and the
explanations of the Independent Unior
papers fall far short of being satisfactory
reasons for abandoning great measures
to sustain little men. The following il
from the Union article:
Those who regard this election as
triumph in favor of the obsolete Democ
racy, or as a verdict against the plans o
Congress tor the reconstruction of tn,
ex-States, or an affirmation of the con
duct of the President, are greatly il
error. These things did not engage thu
attention of the voters or if they did a
} all, it was only to reduce the majorit,
given against the head of the UnioI
ticket. A square vote on the issue be
tween the President and Congress to-da,
would result in a majority of $4,000 70
the latter. The ruling idea in the cleo
tion last Wednesday was just this: Tha
the people mean to hold their leaders Il
fair and honorable dealing in politica
affairs, and that they will condemn an,
} candidates who do not accord with thi
sentiment. That the innocent wer
made to suffer with the guilty is tn
FAULT of that general apathy amonI
