MAI" Franchise is privilege granted TO
certain persons. A failure to bestow
that privilege upon any class of people
is virtual denial of the privilr sc, and
in contraventiOn of the letter and spirit of
United States law. The Legislature of
Montana has not only enacted a nullity
but passed an act of wilful defiance of
the Government. We ask what object
is TO be attained by it? Do you expect
Congress- TO recede from it's position
Let the ten States now in process of re-
construction, be your eloquent answer.
Is It to crafty party spleen2 Who vot-
ed you last year $4,000 to defray your
Territorial expenses? Who voted you
$4,000 to erect a penitentaTy2 Who
did you memorialize the other day to
pay the expenses of your Indian Expe-
dition 81 100 900 Who do you look to
to endorse the S75,OOO,O0O bonds for the
North Pacific Railroad to develop and
aid your Territory more than any other?
Who did you ask for authority from to
frame State constitution Congress.
Do you expect defiance to beget kind
ness? What can you gain by it2 We
have not referred to this before, because
deeming it an inadvertance we presumed
it would be corrected We know now
that members have been approached on
the subject and there is no disposition
evinced to amend il. If this Legislature
adjourn with that enactment remaining
as il is upon the statute books, il will
bring train of evils upon the Territory
for which il will be responsible. 1t is
not in the province of the Legislative
assembly of Montana to determine,
whether or not law of the United
States is just or constitutional. The
Legislators have the laws before them.
1t is in their line OF duty TO abide by
them, not TO decide upon them, al
though the House saw proper to adopt
the report OF the Chairman of the Com
mittee on Federal Relations, declaring
that the laws of the United States "in
iull lOINt dLlAOhE US
Supreme Court of the Territory, were OF
doubtful constituionality." The same
spirit of hostility, is also evinced in an
act approved Nov. 27, concerning Jurors,
sec, 8, of which reads as follows:
Any a. whIte'' male person of lawful age
who lie citizen of the United States, a tax
payer and bona fide resident of the c1unty
shah be competent To serve Us u grand or trial
juror.
An examination Of statutes enacted
heretofore, does not disclose this dis
elimination in favor of +" white" jurors
Why this proviso in the face of the Civ
il Rights Bill, and the prerogative of the
County Commissioners to Choose whom
they may as jurors, from the assessors
books3 Would it not be well, in view
of the benefits asked at the hands of
that Government in which we occupy a
minor position, requiring assistance,
and even now reaching out our hands for
money to render due respect and by obedi-
ence 10 the laws, manifest our WORTH
ness to receive the sovereignty of
State with its more extended power, lar
ger freedom and greater responsibilities.

4 Curious Scene.

The New York correspondent
ofthe, Charleston News relates
singular occurrence which took
place a few days since at Green.
wood Cemetery. A young widow
or, whose first wife has been dead
but three. months, took unto him
self a second spouse, and on the
very day after the knot was tied
took wife number two to Green
wood Cemetery, to visit the grave
Of wife number one. Standing
over the grave, the grieG-stricken
man indulged himself in q burst
Of sorrow, and remarked to
himself that no woman lived
who couIG compare with her
who lay beneath the grass-covered
sod The live wife took exception
at the spirit of the remark, as well
as at the remark itself about the
spirit. She denied the truth Of
the statement, and added that she
considered herself far superior, IN
all respects, to the dead woman.
The ex-widower assured her that
she fattered herself, and that she
could not begin to, compare with
the defunct lady either in physical,
mental or moral excellence where
upon a quarrel arose--the live
wife beat her bosom's lord about
the head with an umbrella; the
man showed fight, and there was
a veritable contest at the grave,
The twain have separated; the
lady has gone home to her parents:
and the ex-widower is, practically
speaking, a widower again - r..
