LOYAL OR DIsLoYAL.


For several issues of the Democrat
there has appeared each time leader
entitled "The Situation" The title of
homilies," which the Democrat gave
our articles, now goes back like the ugly
mans jack-knife, for they certainly ap-
proach nearer sermon than anything
we are guilty of. There is certain
degree of literary merit in the articles
that have appeared. Their tone is dig
nified, their construction creditable; the
language always well-chosen, and the
figures of speech, at times, elegant. All
this we cheerfully concede but the gen.
eral intent and inculcations of the arti-
cles, we object to. The editor of the
Democrat is Union man. He will not
deny that his record confirms that asser-
ton, and we are glad to know it. He is
generally believed to have advocated
the progressive actions of Congress and
the Executive during the rebellion, and
is now the appointee of the government
TO the second highest position in this
Territory. All these considerations de-
mand that his record should be kept
clean, as a Union man and we hope, for
the esteem we have for the man, that he
will consider these recent articles care
fully, and correct the evil effect they are
intended to produce. Though they are
confined to glittering generalities and
lofty passages with nicely-rounded per-
iods, their whole purport is disunion,
and an attempt to detract from the honor
and credit of those who sustained the
Union cause and advocated the rights of
manhood. The Democrat has, of late,
taken manly, unprejudiced position, in
the main, and, with all that may be said
against it, we accord it the honor of being
the best representative paper of Union
Democracy on our list of exchanges-a
credit to the heart of its editor and to
the party it supports; but these Situa-
ton " articles, with their stilted aphor-
isms and subtle sophistries, are rebel -
through and through. The space at our
disposal will not permit the extracts we
would like to make, and can only give
room for one or two from the last num-
Der. Speaking of the Union army, it
says:
"0h, how has honor faded when the con-
querors came back merciless. IF the statue
of military greatness is thus to be earned, from
crushed morality, and painted from the bleed
ing lungs of justice, God forbid that we
should ever witness another conquest for a
name"
slavery have been broken. Aye, and every
link thus broken, is stained with the blood of
an American citizen. If such results consti-
tute a noble work, its instruments are welcome
to all the glory, for, like 'skillful execution
ers,' they did their duty"

sssTRANGE CALCULATIONS, ;,

The Democrat of Thursday, gives us a
little rub on our calculations of assistants
services for the last session Of the Legis-
lature. The good natured way in which
the Major administers the reproof, de-
mands reply from us, and is fitting
clincher to the advice, honest and worthy
of remembrance, which he extends to
our friends of the Gazette and Herald.
The calculations were based upon the
following extract from the extra com
pensation act. and if it does not sustain
our calculations, is at least a very lame
and imperfect section.
Section 9. And be it further enacted, that
there be allowed and paid to the first, and
assistant clerks of each House, over and above
the ''per diem " allowed by Congress-, three
hundred and twenty dollars each to the
Sargeant-at-arms of each House, two hundred
and fifty dollars to each door-keeper of each
House, the sum of two hundred and fifty
dollars and TO each enrolling and engorSs-
ing clerk of each House, two hundred
and fifty dollars each to the pages of each
House, two hundred dollars each; provided,
there shall not be more than two pages to each
House; each fireman shall be allowed the sum
of four hundred dollars.
The definition Webster gives of per
diem is, "by the day" which makes the
section still more kward, and while we
disclaim the belief that any such figures
as we gave, were intended to be paid by
the legislature, we hold to the assertion,
that taking the section of the law, as it
stands ON the statute books, the figures
we gave were warranted by the reading.
1t is very unkind ofyou, Major, to allude
to the place in which we met. We only
went into the El Sol to find you.

spirit of the age. High-handed outrage
upon Union men defiance of Congress
sional authority oppression of the freed
men /; and numerous other outrages have
occurred, until forbearance has ceased
to be virtue, and the loyalists, of both
North and South, demanded that this
state OF things should cease to exist.
Congress has at last taken hold of the
question, with a irmness that shows
they will maintain the supremacy of the
Union, and show these oligarchists that
the days of brow-beating, defiant rebels
and slave-drivers, are with the past.
The multiplicity of schemes and plans
for an adjustment, have been numerous,
and all have failed 1t is now decided
to place them under military control,
and retain them there until such time as
they shall manifest desire to return to
representation. The State authorities
are declared null and void: their courts
abolished, and they are again placed un-
der proper and wholesome restraint
The hue and cry that will be raised
against this action of Congress, will be
terrific. There is nothing in it what
ever to please the patrician rebels of the
South, or their friends in the North and
the tempest in teapot that greeted the
Constitutional amendments, will be as
nothing, compared to the whirlwind of
editorial wrath that will now be raised
against Congress by portion of the
press. For our part, the proposed plan
suits us exactly. 1t curbs the rebels,
protects the Unionists, and sewers this
Gordian knot with blow. We hope to
see the Senate amendments confirmed,
and then have it passed over the
veto, which will inevitably come.
In less than year from the time this
bin is enforced. the entire South will be
represented in Congress by Union men /;
and this much vexed question of resto-
ration will be forever settled, for the
good of all.

VIRGINIA CITY, MONTANA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY %. 1

that passes by. 1t cost least season
$3.50 for each wagon that reached He
lena from Salt Lake city so says the
Herald. 1t cost fully that from the Big
Horn river to Helena, before these last
fifty-eight laws were passed. Who re-
ceives it2 a class of men, generally,
who expend very little of it for the ben
eft of the Territory. Who pays it2
The honest, hard-workiDg consumers.
And now this extra session proposes to
invest more favorites with sinecures of
this kind, while the appeal is made to
the general government to increase the
pay of the officials of the Territory, or
they cannot maintain themselves as
becomes the honor and dignity of their
offices" We should think some of them
have pay enough at present. In the
extra compensation act, approved De
cember ID, the members of the Legisla-
ture voted themselves $3.50 each per
aRnUql. To each of the pages $500 each
per day. To the sergeant-at-arms, door
keepers, enrolling and engrossing clerks
$3.50 each per day. To the first and as
sistant clerks $500 each per day. To
the firemen $400 each per dag. Pretty
good pay, we should think. Only 1885,
200 for assistants services during the ses-
sion. The extra session is nothing more
than burlesque, as the past two ses-
sions have been farces. Pronounced
illegal by the courts, who take no cog
nizance of their enactments, the whole
institution is a humbug and sham,
and will be declared an illegal assem-
blage, and their enactments null and
void by Congress, before the close of the
next session. Where then, is the pro-
priety in entailing the expense necessa-
~ to elect and send to Washington a
delegate who will probably not be re
cognized, and who, going there as Dem
ocrat from a Democratic Territory, will
consequently have but little influence
with that Congress which our principal
Democratic organ denounces with every
epithet that presents itself to the fertile
brain of its editor. If there should not
be present at the coming session a suffi-
cient number of members to constitute
a quorum. it would be the most fortu-
nate thing that ever happened the Dem
ocratic party in Montana.
