dependent Government, may summon to
his aid the legions of the hated Emperor
and lay waste their vine clad hills for
claiming their own. Italy and Rome
are one. Its people will never find rest
until the tri-color floats above the Vati-
can, and all the States acknowledge it.
Yet like the Fenians, the Republicans
are frittering away their strength in i'm
pulsive and unpromising risings. Each
futile attempt binds the shackles closer,
discourages and stiles the spirit of the
would-be revolutionists, and renders sue
cess still more difficult. The Fenians
must bide their time until England, in
volved in other tolls, loosens her grasp
on the Emerald Isle. Italy can scarce
depose Plus TX. until Napoleon, distract
ed by other complications, dare not float
the lilies of France to sustain the ban
ners of the Pope. Freed from foreign
interposition, Italy would be at once
united, and, relieved from the entangle-
ments of the September treaty, Victor
Emanuel would gladly aid his people in
the effort; but as it looks now the fires
of revolution will be quickly stamped
out TO shoulder till another fitful breeze
fans them into flame.

TRUSTING.

We trust when the Legislature assemblies it
will at once organize, proceed to work the
Organic Act and the laws of the Territory di-
rect, and teach this factious, disorganizing
and lawless fauatical party that their advice
or counsel is not needed In the true legisla-
ton of the country.-l Democrat.
With all its reckiessly Inappropriate
adjectives, we may assume that the
above amiable and gentlemanly admoni-
ton is intended for the benefit of Re
Publicans in general and the Posi- in
particular. The Democracy are in the
ascendency, and the (hand) organ croaks
out its notes of excommunication,against
all Republicans. 1t is sorely exercised
that rebel advice and counsel is not
needed" in Congressional Legislation,
but the shoe is on the other foot here.
The Democrat indirectly takes the posi-
ton that the party in minority have no
rights which the majority are bound to
respect. 1t is simply absurd, and the
course it trusts will be taken is but
one remove from the veriest despotism
ever arrogated by a tyrant. If this is
Democracy, the sooner we abandon our
experimental government the better
True, though it may be, that the mem
bers of the Legislature were elected by
Democrats, yet they represent all the
citizens of their respective districts, and
one is entitled to as much consideration
as another in their legislation. If he
has rights to be respected, his advice
and counsel are entitled to considera-
ton. Not proposing at present to dis
cuss the merits of the two parties, and
turning the Democrats vile epithets
loose to fit where they belong, we give
fair warning that in the legislation OF
Montana Republicans claim the rights
of citizens of this Territory, equal to
those of any Democrat however often he
may have proved his devotion by aban-
doning it, and that the advice and coun.
sell" of the PosT will be offered whenever
we think it is needed, without waiting
any suggestions on the part of the
Democrat.

suicide I'm GalIatIn valley.

EDITOR PosT: A gentleman just IN
from West Gallatin brings the horrid
intelligence of the suicide of Thomas A.
Wiley, residing there.
His partner, Mr. Leonard, was absent
during the day, and upon his return at
night found a note from Wiley, bidding
him an affectionate farewell, and stating
that he was tired of living" Search
was made and the, body found in the
root house with the throat cut from ear
to ear. A razor was found lying by his
side. bloody, and gun hung by the trig-
ger on the wall above him.
The coroner has just left TO hold an
inquest, when we shall learn more par
ticulars. In haste, ID. w.
Bozeman City, Oct. -, 1867.
(Mr. Wiley was one of the early pio-
neers of Montana, having come here in
'63, and was one Of the earliest ranchers
in Gallatin Valley. He was native of
Tennessee, and resided in Colorado
sometime prior to coming to Montana
He was twice elected as County Commits
sioner of Gallatin county, and was uni
versally esteemed for his honesty, indus
try, intelligence and social virtues. Hav-
ing no certain information as to the causes
leading TO the rash and desperate deed by
which he ended his life, we believe it
will be found attributable TO pecuniary
difficulties. He was involved in embar-
RAISING financial circumstances, and as
long ago as last winter was laboring un-
de- considerable mental distress in con-
sequence. This. TO a morbidly sensitive
person, might develop into preference
for the undisturbed quiet of the grave.
II is painful to contemplate deed so vio-
lent for a cause SO trifiing; but it has
had its many precedents. Mr.. Wiley
was unmarried.

THE SITUATION.

1t may have been thought that inn
peachment had no horrors for President
johnson. In fact, his many violent eff
forts to defeat the expressed will of the
people in regard to reconstruction, and
the assumption of authority not vested
in him, has encouraged that belief His
course since the late elections has disap-
pointed both parties, and is another of
the strange perversities of my policy"
When a clear four hundred thousand
majority stared him in the face, he bid
defiance and obstinately battled against
the measures inaugurated by their rep
resentatives. Now, that the elections
might be construed into an endorsal of
his course, and more consistently than
ever he might urge his policy in oppo-
sition to that of Congress, he subsidies
into silent acquiescence and permits
matters in the South to take their own
course. The only cause assignable for
this is his ambition to be reelected Pres.
ident. Whatever others may think,
Andrew johnson expects he will be
called upon to fill the Presidential chair
for another term. The radical Union
party he cannot expect to support him.
The radical Democracy read him out,
before the recent elections, and he rubs
them off his slate His only recourse
now is to form a third, conservative
party, repudiating both extremes, and
secure their nomination. The repudis-
ton and greenback redemption cry OF
the extremists will disintegrate a large
class of Democrats, who would not sup.
port a Republican nominee, but might

TASTES DIFFER.

The Democrat, clothed in the sanity
garments of purity, drawing inspiration
from source beyond our reach look
ing down from its tripod of exaltation
with sublime dignity upon our feeble
ness, launches withering shaft from
its puissant bow and transfxes us to
earth. We are humbled.
The article which appeared in the PosT of
last Tuesday is NOT COPIED in this issue of the
Democrat. We would not desecrate our col
umns with such dirty, vile and indecent Bill
lingsgate. We hesitated long time wheth-
er the scribble should be noticed at all. We
will not now attempt to respond to so dirty a
piece, which wishes to be personal but which
is so low and undigniied as to call for no fur
ther notice at our hands than merely to state
we belong to no one we do not belong to the
Governor, nor did we ever receive the patron
age of his office. Some small quantity of
printing has been done in this Office, while
the PosT has done thousands of dollars worth,
and is now whining around the Secretary for
the public work to be done this winter. So
far as your low personalities are concerned,
Mr.. PosT, we will let generous and honest
community judge between US, for We know

VOTES AND POPULATION.

An official abstract of the election re-
turns of Colorado for 1867 shows that
Territory to be strongly Republican.
The Council is eight Republicans, four
Democrats, and one Independent Repdb-
lican. The House is fifteen Republicans,
nineteen Democrats and two Indepen-
dent Republicans. The total vote of
the Territory was 9,349, giving q
straight Republican majority of Alp and
counting the Independent Republican
vote, majority of s7e over the Democ-
racy and an increase of 78S ovee last
year. The Netos, in publishing this
statement, takes the usual estimate of
from five to seven of a population to
each voter and argues from it that the
population will not fall short of 46,745
to 65, ,443. If this was a reliable basis
for an estimate of population, Montana
might claim population of 5S, AGO or
81 ,s44 upon her 1867 vote of IL ,692 1t
will be found, however, that the ratio
of population to voters, upon which the
Colorado estimate is founded, will not
apply to new mining regions, where the
number of voters usually comprises
fully one-half of the entire population.
We doubt very much if Montana will
today exceed a population of 81 to
each vote Polled at the general election
of 1867. Colorado is older and contains
a more settled population. The proper
tion would be somewhat larger, but the
ratio of FIVE to one or seven to one which
applies to the States, is an excessive one
for any of the Territories. With mi
gratory, floating population such as
ours, the only true method by which to
arrive at the number of inhabitants is
nv a canaua

SOMETHING NEEDED.

We are not aware that any effort has
ever been made in this Territory to have
a law enacted prohibiting prize fighting.
Certain it is that no law except for a
breach of the peace now exists on the
statute books to prevent these most dis
gusting exhibitions. 1t being impossi-
BILE to have an enactment before the late
encounter, we have remained silent !;
more than that, witnessed it; and with
large majority of those who did, are of
the opinion that it is the duty of the
coming legislature to pass law prohib-
iting prize fights in the Territory of
Montana. This last fight was not severe
enough to be the basis of any very
strong objections, so far as the punish
ment of the men is concerned. After
paying FIVE dollars each for an opportu-
nifty to see two men, reputedly game
pugilists and heavy strikers, pummel
each other, those in attendance were dis
appointed in seeing half dozen such
rounds as can be witnessed in the street
for nothing, and then stay three or four
hours to witness two men without shirts,
shivering with cold, and keeping out of
each others way, until nightfall. All
prize fights pander to the lowest pas
sions of mankind. Their encourage
ment has a tendency to deprave the
tastes of the people and vitiate their
morals. There is a law against duelling.
1t is by odds the most respectable and
least dangerous amusement of the two.
If prize fighting is sanctioned, duelling
should be. For the credit of the Terri
tory in Difference to the opinion of the
civilized world; to prevent the cultiva-
tion of depravity, and discourage brutal
exhibitions, let us have a law against
prize fighting. Montana has had enough
of it.

NOT YET THE TIME.

Notwithstanding the dispatches con-
tain encouraging news from the Carl
baldians, and their columns are pressing
the Papal troops toward Rome, we fear
the tide will turn too strong against
them, and that the day of deliverance has
not yet come. The desire is, not to in
wade the Pope's spiritual dominion, but
his temporal. The Italians love their
sunny land with all the fervor of their
passionate impulsive natures. Rome,
grandly associated with the history of
ages, and the proud mother of empires,
ruling the world from her seven hilled
throne by the yellow Tiber, linked in
tradition and on historic page with
names that all time shall re-echo with
admiring accents, is the great central
heart of Italy. With a limited mon
archicsl government, and two chambers
of representatives, an area of 11S,OOO
square miles and population of "a ,0O0,-
600 of people, they find the States OF the
Church, with an area of 4,500 square
miles and over half million people, un-
der the absolute sovereignty of the Pope,
who holds his court in Imperial Rome,
in the heart of their country, sustained
by the bayonets of powers unfriendly to
the Italian people, Victor Emanuel,
hampered by the provisions of a rash
treaty, is bound to prevent the invasion
of the Papal dominions by force of arms,
and Plus TX, as the Sovereign of an in
