EMANUEL LEUTZE DEAD.

The kilograms announce the death
from apoplexy, of Emanuel Leutze, one
of the most gifted artists of this country
or the world. He was born in Gmund,
Wurtemberg, in 1916, and came to Amer
lea in childhood, his parents residing in
Philadelphia, where his talents for draw
ing frs; found employment while at
tending at the sick bed of his father.
His first successful picture was the rep
resentation of an Indian gazing at the
setting sun, now so familiar in its infini.
tude ofreproductions on wood and steel.
His success enabled him to visit the art
schools and galleries of Europe, where
he attained much celebrity as an histor.
ical painter, but his American fame
rests principally upon series of his
torical paintings of Revolutionary
events, the principal of which is Wash.
ington crossing the Delaware" He re-
turned to the United States in 1859, and
we believe painted tie magnifcen,
fresco in the Capitol at Washington
illustrative of Bishop Berkely's familiar
utterance, westward the star of EN-
pire takes its way" He is lost to Art
while in the very zenith of his fame, and
those fortunate enough to possess can
vas which his skillful hand has jmbuei
with almost life, will prize it the more
highly that the brush and palette lIe
idle by the easel, for the light OF genius
has faded trom the studio-the master
is dead.

WHAT 1T COST.

We notice the Demi-Joh nson pas
pers refer to the expenses of the i'm
peachment trial as approximating to
millions, and the same highly fgurativ e
language has been used by Democratic
stumpers in Helena at their meeting in
ratification of the impeachment, Sey-
mour, the bond candidate, and the Sec
ton of the New York Platform declar-
ing the Rebellion is dead, which ex-
Gov. Vance a sterling Southern demo-
crat says is lie. 1t may not be amiss
to quote the remarks of Senator Cragin
in offering an amendment to the ex-
pense bill providing, $4,000 or SO much
thereof as might be necessary for the
expenses of the trial. We quote from
the Globe of July Cd. He said:
81 desire to state that heretofore Con-
gress appropriated $4,000 to pay the
expenses of the President. This amend
ment proposes $4,000 more. The entire
expenses of the impeachment, including
witnesses, furniture, printing, and the
fees of officers for summoning witnesses
will not exceed $4,000, and will prob
ably fall little short of that amount !;
but it is necessary that something more
should be appropriated. / make this
statement in relation to the expenses of
/ the impeachment trial, and hope Sem
ators will hear what | say, that the en-.
tire expenses will not exceeded $4,000.

THE IDAHO CAMPAIGN.

We have gratifying intelligence from
Idaho, concerning the coming election
of Delegates to Congress. 1t is regarded
there as a settled fact that Thomas J.
Butler, the Republican nominee will be
elected by large majority, and Idaho
be redeemed from the demoraliZing in
huences of so-called Democratic misrule,
that has even disgusted the respectable
members of that party and placed in
the field, Col. May as Independent DEM
ocratic candidate. The popularity of
Mr.. Butler. the strength given the party
by the Chicago platform and nominees,
the corruption of Democracy and the
split in their ranks, will accomplish the
triumphant election OF the Republican
candidate, although E ID. Holbrook,
Democrat. carried the Territory by 800
majority in 1866. Mr.. Butler has held
various responsible positions in the
State of California; was an uncompro-
missing unionist during the war, and
was elected by the Union party to the
State Legislature in 1868. His personal
friends here speak in the highest terms
of his integrity, ability and faithfulness
to his political principles. In his cleo
tion, Idaho will have a thorough gentle
man, and live man 10 represent her in
Congress. We shall chronicle the event
with pride, as Republican triumph and
Tor the qualification of Mr.. Buffers
many friends IL Montana.

A CHANCE FOR GAIN.

There appears to be at least q few
capitalists in the United States who are
willing to venture their ducats on Alas
ka, and think it not bad bargain for
81 100000. Mr.. Mungen of Ohio, in re-
ply to Mr. Washburns two hour speech
in opposition to the expenditure,
said:
"Iu order to relieve the apprehensi0ns
of the gentleman from Wisconsin. Mr..
Washburn, as well as others who may
honestly, perhaps, think as he does on
the subject of this appropriation, l am
authorized by gentlemen abundantly
able To fulfil il, TO make the following
proposition, provided such an arrange
ment can be legally effected, of which
have but little, If any, doubt. The pro-
posal is
That a company of gentlemen will,
within twenty days from and after the
date when Congress assents to the pro-
position, pay into the Treasury of the
United States the sum of S10.000,000 in
gold for the Territory of Alaska; these
gentlemen taking the fee simple there
for and leaving the right of eminent do
main in the government of the United
States.
So it appears If the government desires
to speculate and pocket 2,S0O,OOO by
the operation the opportunity is now
open. Perhaps the recollection that
California was considered and declared
valueless at the time of it's purchase, and
has since added $2,000,000,000 to the
wealth of the country may influence
Congress to hold on for an advance in
north west real estate

ENLARGED.

The Daily Posi- is presented this
morning, enlarged. This has been con-
templated for some time, but was de-
layed by the detention of the Steamer
Silver Lake, on which the Posi- material
was 81 ipped. The encroachment of
advertis~ ments on the space devoted to
reading matter has compelled the pro-
curance of paper few days in advance
of the arrival of our material from
Benton. The Posi- will be continued
the present size until, with the arrival
of additional supplies now ordered, it
will be still further enlarged, and pre-
sented in a new dress. Publishing for
some months the most diminutive sheet
in Montana, on a poor quality of paper;
our old typos all returning to the States,
and their places not fully supplied, we
have labored against adverse circum-
stances, regretted but unavoidable. For
the generous patronage extended, con-
tinued, and rapidly increasing, we are
indebted to the good will of our friends,
and a charity
"To all our virtues very kind,
To all our faults-a little blind"
The circulation of the Weekly PosT,
the pioneer paper of Montana, has in
creased nearly five hundred copies since
our removal to Helena has larger cir.
culation than any paper in the Territo'
ries, and we speak that which we know
in saying the circulation of the Daily
Posi- largely exceeds that of any other
Daily in Montana. Not desiring to
enter the arena of Gasconade, to con-
tend for its bauble prizes of vanity and
conceit, we leave our readers to Judge
the tree by what it bears" If we can
add to it's interest or merits, it will be
seen in fulfillment, not heraIded by oft
repeated promises. We gratefully ac-
knowledge the confidence, good words
and liberal patronage has extended to
the paper, and hope it's enlargement
and future conduct will meet with ap-
pToval.

PLATFORM.

We do, with one accord, most heartily
endorse the platform adopted by the
Union Republican Convention at Chi
cago, and recognize in the nomination of
Ulysses :. Grant for President, and
Schuyler Colfax for Vice President, the
true principles of the great Union party
and feel confident that they, as stand
ard bearers, will lead the party on to
victory, and secure for the Nation har-
mOny and prosperity.

THROWING OFF THE YOKE.

A train of % wagons, filled with Jo-
sephite families (anti-polygamist Nor
mons) left Malad valley, and the Nor
1z1ons May 25d, bound for Missouri,
Iowa, and Illinois. They reached Chey-
enne safely, July Sth.
The Leader says: "They assert that
the portion of those who acknowledge
Brigham are not true Mormons but
Brighamites and that he is not a true
prophet, or the legitimate successor of
the Church f; but an imposter who, In
the name of the Church, makes arbitrary
laws for his own worldly advancement
and gain"
The following is an extract from let
ter addressed by the Captain of the
train to the editor of the Leader.
JosEPHITE EMIGRANT TRAIN,
Cheyenne, July s, 1861
"We are often asked where we are
from, and where we are going : in an
swer to which questions please say for
us, we are from the land of Brigham's
oppression, and that we are seeking
homes where we may enjoy civil and
religious liberty. We have long exs
pended our time and labor, and ex-
hausted our energies in enriching the
so called President of the Mormon
church, and have at length determined
to leave that fountain head of falsehood,
and endeavor to establish homes where
our earnings may be applied to making
ourselves and our families comfortable,
and providing our children with liberal
educations. Believing Brigham Young
to be wrong, and having faith in good
results of our honest convictions and
purposes, we left Deseret, and now find
ourselves in land of equal civil and re-
ligious liberty"
