ness First-and may kind Heaven have
mercy on their souls-the massacre of
the Peace Commission, so-called. by the
Indians. That would bring down the
vengeance of the Government. Second,
war upon the settlements, OF sufficient
magnitude to incite the mountain men
to expeditions that will leave Bear river
in the shade and q few hundred red
devils in the fond embrace of death.
This we consider most probable of the
two, and both these depend upon the
Indians Third, the building of rail-
roads across the Territories, not 20 i'm
mediate, but permanent and beneicent
in all their results. For the first we
have only the known treachery of the
Indians. For the second, it is the duty
of those in exposed localities in this
Territory to organize and ask to be fur
nishcd with the arms now in the Terri
tory tor that purpose. For the third
we should labor with assiduity and
earnestness, trusting to that, more than
to any other. for final and satisfactory
solution of trouble that began on the
Atlantic coast but must end on the
slopes of the Rocky Mountains.

tigate the matter for themselves they
always give the Territory the benefit OF
doubt and are sure TO get the figures
high enough. Congress, on the other
hand, when too close listed to give the
matter the attention IL deserves, gives
the benefit of doubt to the other side and
is certain to have the amount placed low
enough. And thus it is that neither
party is ever satisfied with tho state
ments of the other. Let us hope that
the people of our Territory may, at no
distant day. form q society for the gath
ering of reliable statistics which shall,
when opportunity offers, be placed at
the disposal of Congress and be eventu-
ally laid before the people of the United

themselves with mere assertions, but
which will prove Montana to be, what
We claim, one of the richest mineral 20

The Dsmoerat of the 7th has an intri-
cately constructed, vaporish Illumination
of forensic obscufity, which. like Evarts
speech, aspires to Immortality by being
eternally long sentenced. We might
ask how q misnomer could occur In
the "admeasurement" of the public
printing, and what the writer knows
about public or other printing. We
might, in reply to his inquiry what we
have to justify our language toward
Major Bruce, state that he charged d.
w. Tilton & Co. with fraud and admit
ted that if he had expected to receive
any thanks for it he would have assisted
to fix it up that he charged by low
insinuation that Secretary Tufts had
been guilty of malfeasance in Office in
selling the public printing to ID. w.
Tilton & Co, and that the entire letter
was prompted by petty spite because
he did not get the work. We may say
here that there never was job Of Leg

simple fact that while the Democrat pur-
ports to have a statement of our accounts

ness, we have not yet had the honor to
hear from there. although the money
was paid out months ago by ID. w. Til

a. The latest news from the impeach-
ment trial is favorable to the acquital of
the President. The fact is, the disgusting
Radicals have become disguised with
their dirty work through fear of the PEG.
pie. There is such a thing al running
matters into the ground-there is a time
when the rope cal be stretched to its ut
most, and then something must break or
give way. The French people endured
the infections and exactions of royalty
until they would suffer no longer, and a
revolution removed the annoyance. Then,
in their turn, the very men who secured
the people their liberties and rights be-
came as ~tyrannical and exactiug as those
they had overthrow. Another revolut-
ion was the consequence, when matters
assumed the desired shape. When quiet,
the people are easily governed, easily in.
auenced but when they become angry
it requires q mighty power to calm and
subdue their passions. Blood letting is
the remedy usually resorted to on such
occasions, and as human nature is the
same the world over, we may not prove
an exception to the rule. Let Us hope
that OUT difficulties may be satisfactorily
arranged without resorting to such dan
derous expedients. The experience OF
the past six years should teach us the
great necessity Of Cancellation and for
~giveness. They are q thousand times
more effectual than the sword or bsyonet.
Had reason not teen uuseated by The
violence of fanaticism no wal would
have deluged our land in blood and
brought misery and woe to the thresholds
Of many thousands.

~ Gen. Sherman is indignant at the
manner in which the i~mpeachers are
treating the President, and threatens to
take the stump in his behalf. should that
functionary be removed. 1t is gratifying
TO know that the best soldier in the Uni
ted States army defends the President
and q rally to his support more men
Than any other officer who sports Uncle
Sans unifnam. NO Soatherner likes
Gen. Sherman for his actions during the
last part of the war. but they do admire
bis pluck, energy and determination Of
character, and especially as be stands by
the President in bis trying hour.
