NO n1IPEACHMENT.

The Committee has reported upon
the i'm parchment of the President, and
the matter is now before the House, for
consideration. 1t will be seen that in
the reports made, FIVE favor inn
peachment and four are opposed. Of
those opposed, two are republicans, VIII.
son of Massachusetts,, and Woodbridge
of Vermont, Senators from the most un-
mistak eably Republican States in the
Union. Presenting the other minority
report are Marshall and Eldridge, dem
ocrats of Illinois and Wisconsin. We
have al so information that Gen1 Baker
is under arrest for false testimony before
the Committee, duplicating the Pres't in
corruptly disposing of pardons. Whilei 1T
is an indisputable fact that the Presi-
dent assumed powers not vested in him
by the Constitution; that, controlled by
bad influences, other than his own am
b;tioas schemes, he has abandoned the
faith he once protessed, and struck
hands with the covert and confessed
enemies OF the Union, that he might
carry out his designs; while he has hin
dered and delayed the reconstruction of
the Union as enacted by the representa-
lives of the people who conquered re-
bellion, and who alone had the right
and authority to make the terms under
which rebels might be restored to for
feited rights and privileges, and himself
I'd
till, it is probable that with the re
ports before them the House will not pass
an impeachment Resolution. The design
of Congress originally, was not to i'm
peach the President If avoidable, merely
to prevent him by the appointment of a
Committee of Investigation, from com
mitting any overt act during the ad-
I journment of Congress. The removal
of Stanton and Sheridan, able. loyal and
reliable men, and his threatened break
ing up of the entire system of recon
struction, aroused spirit in the North
! favoring his impeachment Immediately
on the reassembling of Congress. Mr..
johnson has been very quiet since, and
if he has not modified his views, he at
least has his actions. The danger is now
passed. His day of arbitrary power has
gone, and before the adjournment of
Congress, reconstruction will have gone
beyond his power of hindrance. 1t is well
! TO suffer him to rule out the few short
days of his term and then put better
man in his place.

- DON'T FIRE ON YOU OWN
MEME

The Gazette of last Saturday INDUCED
in column editorial Of abuse of Messrs.
Word and Orr, Democratic Legislators,
and heretofore considered very respecta-
BILE, talented gentlemen. 1t is not
part Of our mission, as we understand it,
10 vindicate political opponents from
the aspersions of their own organs, but
as these two gentlemen were elected
over Republican candidates by hand
some maiorities, we are not disposed TO
called hard names without rcscntjng it.
The attack upon Mr. Word is founded
upon an ailusion TO the mannerin which
the modified apPortionment was obtain
ed from Gen. Meagher at Helena Mr.
Word, in his speech, used very mild ian
guage in regard to that affair, but he
told the truth, and the Gazettc knows it.
The less said about it the better The
first apportionment was made by Gen.
Meagher with the best evidence before
him;" the second was not, and it com
pletely altered the status in the Legis-
lature of the three principal counties in
the Territory. shearing Deer Lodge and
Madison TO clothe Edgerton in power,
General Meagher never refused a bribe
to veto the Capital bill he was not Act
| ing Governor at the time, and if the Ga
zette desires to know il, lie advised Gov
ernor Smith To veto that bill, and ace
hare tie pr0cf. We are unable TO see
what Is the burning sun of New South
Wales has 10 Go with the question, or
to know what McESlroy. "the boy with
the auburn hair" has TO do with the
Legislature. The Gazette had better
bottle up its wrath, lest the day may
come when those very prominent gem
tlemen, Messrs. Orr AMI Word, will be
Democratic candidates for Governor or
Secretary of the State of Montana,
and its anathemas will be recorded
agains; them, and fat job of public
printing be lost by indiscretion.

ENACTfLENTS.

Among the enactments of general in
terest recently approved by the Cover
nor. and not as yet published, we find
an act to provide for the sale of goods,
machinery, ETC., by storage or commits
sion merchants, for the collection of sto-
rage or freight money advanced upon
them. ANY goods or wares stored with
such merchants, may. after so days have
elapsed, and notice of the sale shall have
been published in a newspaper within
the county, or if none exist therein, in
the most convenient paper, sell at pub
lie sale for cash, sufficient quantity of
the goods To cover storage, freight
money and the costs of sale, unless a
specific contract has been made between
the parties, for a waving of this statute.
The sale may be repeated every six
months thereafter under the same res
trictions. An act locating the peniten-
tiary, locates the same at Deer Lodge
City, Deer Lodge county, and directs the
Governor to forward to the Secretary of
the Interior the enactment of the Legis-
lature, for his approval, as required by
the act of Congress, approved January
%, 1867, and setting aside of the oollec-
tions of Internal Revenue in the Terri
tory of Montana for the fiscal years end
ing June Both, 1866, 1867 and 1868, the
total sum of $4,000. to be used exclu-
sively for the purpose of erecting Ter
ritorial penitentiary under the direction
of the Secretary of the Interior. An act
for providing marks instead of sigma
lures, provides that in case of inability
to write his or her signature, the party
may make mark near their name, writ
ten by another, and the mark so made
and witnessed by a second person, shall
be valid as signature. An act con-
cerning highways and distractions
thereof, declares that all roads laid out
or travelled, upon which no franchise
Las been heretofore granted by the Leg
islature, shall be deemed highways. and
that any person obstructing travel up
on such highways, by fence or other
wise, shall be punished, upon convic-
tion, by fine of not less than $25 end
not more than 500 and costs. A

OUR NATIONAL CREDIT.

Credit is the life of nationality. With
out it there can be no power, no honor,
no respect, and no safety to cherished
institutions. Governments may be op-
pressed by exhaustiDg wars, and their
resources taxed to the utmost to pre-
serve their existence; but while their
plighted faith is sacredly maintained,
they command the respect and conf
dence of their own people and of the
world. The late war for the suppress
ion of treason's wanton rebellion, not
only demanded the most appalling sac
rifice of noblest blood, but also the wisest
and almost exhaustive employment of
the national credit. In the dark days
which clouded the national cause dur
ing the first two years of the war, the
chief peril of the government wasin the
threatened destruction of it's credit.
With very powerful minority in the
North, ever ready with malignant speech
to stab their country's cause, and with
the monetary centres of the Old World
in sympathy with our foes, the question
OF raising the thousands OF millions
necessary to sustain the war, became
one of the gravest moment. AT times
the national credit seemed TO tremble
in the balance, and had it fallen against
the Government, the Republic could not
have survived. The Government aimed
to command the confidence of the peo-

ing their Golfers as fast as might be an
ticipated. This we believe is a fair
statement of the case. Had we any
influence with the Legislators, it would
be to let the survey bill go overheard for
the present, and memorialize Congress
TO authorize and make appropriation for
it; to he as liberal with the Federal Off
GERS as they are with themselves in the
extra compensation, and to draw the
reins of economy closely on all, that the
Territory may be enabled to avoid
the dangerous burden of a heavy interest
bearing debt.

Mr. w E. Wood, Superintendent of
the New Jersey Company, is now run

days ago he cleaned up, the trial of seven
