REMovAL.-It will be remembered that
Governor Low appointed Stephen Venard an
aid-de-camp, with the rank of Lieutenant
Colonel, for personal bravery, in capturing
three stage robbers in Nevada county.
Among the late appointments Of Governor
Haght we find that of &C. w. Croker ,
vice Steve Venard, removed" We have
never heard the politics of the robbers put
out of the way so suddenly by their encount-
er with Venard, but the inference is left by
this removal that the Democracy lost three
votes by that event, and that the Governor in
tends to retaliate, to some extent, upon the
brave officer for diminishing his vote.-Sac-

receiving aiG from the Washington au-
thorities, we should be compelled to pay
a still greater tax than the present for
the aid and support of the revolution
which Blair threatens, and for which
the entire South is ready so soon as n
Democratic victory shall be announced.
With the financial policy of the New
York Convention adopted, and the credit
of the country thereby ruined, the ma
ton would be compelled to pay cash
down for all its expenditures, where it
now gets trusted for a number of years,
and the Immediate burdens of taxation
would be thereby increased to such an
enormous extent that many would be
tempted to leave the United States for
the purpose of escaping the load. We,
of Montana, should be compelled to bear
our share of the burden, to pay twice or
three times what we do now perhaps,
and that too. so fBr as the Republicans
are concerned, for the establishment of
principles in direct opposition to our
own.
1t will thus be seen that, although we
cannot vote, we have an interest in the
campaign, which is not exceeded by that
of any portion of the Union. BY the
election of Grant and Colfax, we have
much to gain, 10y their defeat, much to
lose. This being the case, we shall not
fail TO keep our readers well informed
concerning the progress of the Presiden-
tial contest and those indications which
point 10 its probable result.

We are happy to be able to announce
that the comic Independent has decided
TO follow the advice which we recently,
in spirit of kindness, gave it, 1t will
devote its columns exclusively to COM
edy in the future, and make none of
those dull attempts at logical reasoning
for which il is go emineltly untitled. To
be sure its stories are very old, that of

uInn of it's last issue, having been
already heard and repeated not less than
7169 times by every man, woman and
child above the age of Eve years in the
country, but then second hand wit is
more end urable than original stupidity,
and we can conscientiously state that
the Independent is improving. The pa
per contains one really good joke,
although the subject is horrible one.

he can choose. He may admit that the
charges against Mr.. Potter are
untrue and that he has sworn
falsely, or he may, on the
other hand, admit that he is rascal of

Government for two or twenty years
provided he can thereby retain profits

whole of that time, to play the part of
a snake in the grass for the purpose of
compelling his employer to continue
him in his service. Take your choice.
Either alternative serves as an annihi~
lator to any ambition you may have TO
be classed among honest men. Mr..
Crounse concludes his card by saying
that he cannot be bought. This is so.
He has already sold himself beyond re-
demption, and even if this were not the
case, there is not an assayer's scale in
the city sufficiently delicate to weigh
his very rare principles, and there is
not in the Territory a gulch producing
a grain of gold sufficiently fine to place
in the other pan as a purchase price

1t will be remembered that the Ga
setts some time since, indulged in severe
structure on Mr.. Potter, Postmaster at
this place, in consequences OF which Mr.
Potter decided to make a memorandum
of the time of delivery of that valuable
paper at the Postoffice.1 The statement
furnished us by Mr.. Potter, can be cor
roborated by the affidavits OF the Assis-
tants in the Office. Evidently there
must be some difference in the time>

An examination of the charges made,

Such being the case, we do not regard

Spain has an insurrection, and no one
thinks strange of it. The popular
method of correcting abuses among the
Spaniards, whatever the quarter of the
globe in which they exist, seems to be
by revolution. We see this fact con-
stantly illustrated in the West India
Islands, Mexico, Panama, the States of
South America, and now in Spain itself,
where, as the telegraph announces, n
formidable insurrection has just broken
out. The present Queen of Spain, Isa-
bella III, even in her infancy was the
source of one of the most cruel civil
wars with which any country has ever
been cursed. and from the time she was
proclaimed Queen, at the age of three
years, has been favored with half dozen
formidable instructions, which have, in
nearly every instance been stopped by
concessions rather than by being crushed
out. 1t has appeared, indeed, that the
revolutions have had for their object the
compulsion of the Queen rather than
her dethronement. The present insur-
rection has already attained to great
proportions, having enlisted for its sup
port 100000 rebels, and being con-
Quoted 10y some of the most able men in
Spain. Our dispatches give the names
of the Provinces which have given their
adherence to the revolution, provinces
lying along the eastern, southern and
northwestern coasts of Spain, embracing
try and containing half of its population
or between seven and eight million in-
habitants. The period of the Queens
absence in France has been seized upon
as favorable to the revolution, and the
capital is already nearly surrounded, so
as to prevent Isabella's return. This
Queen has for many years bore al un-
enviable reputation for immortality, and
has been disgrace to her country, and
on this account, ,iffor no other, the rebel
lion will, to a greater extent receive the
sympathy of foreign countries than
would otherwise have been the case.
We apprehend that the Queens visit to
Louis Napoleon was not for nothing,
aud that if it should become necessary,
in order to sustain Isabella, the French
armies may again march across the
Pyrennees, as they have done IN several
previous occasions. What the rest OF
Europe will say to this. then become the
question.

our INTERESr IN THE CAM
PAIGN.

We have often heard persons in the
Territory question the advisability of
devoting so much space in the newspa-
pers of Montana TO the consideration of
the Presidential campaign now in pro-
gress. Because we of the Territory
have no vote in the matter, il is assumed
that we should have no thought about
it, and that we have no interest in it. A
little consideration will convince our
readers that this assumption is false,
and that we have as much to lose or
gain by the results OF the campaign as
any other portion of the country If
we consider only the particular locality
in which we live, we have much
deeper interest in the struggle than
most of the States which take an active
part in it, for it is the general Govern
ment wliieh furnishes us with our prin~
cipal officers, our Governor, Secretary,
and Judges, while the States furnish
themselves with these officials. That
:he officers sent US from Washington
should be good and true Union men.
persons who will not consider their obli-
cations to partisans paramount
those which they owe to the Govern
ment, men who will not only do justice
to lovers of the Union, but who, if they
lfaye favors to grant. will bestow them
upon them, is highly desirable. The
people of the Territory give US enough
of the other kind OF officers. the Lord
knows, and from this very fact it be-
comes the more important that the Fed
eral officers should be selected from the
Union ranks, and Montana be thus se-
cured from being placed entirely under
the control of the Democracy. But
viewed in a general and more extended
light, the interest OF Montana in the
election is equal to that of any of the
States. We of the Republican faith,
feel interested in having the annual
$4,000 donation which this Territory
deposits in the National Treasury ap-
propriated to such uses as shall advance
or at least not conflict with the princi-
Piles which we avow. We feel interested
in having such a consistent course pur
sued by the government as shall bring
us peace and prosperity without the sac
rifce of single principle. instead OF
having a step taken backward, and Q
plunge made into turmoil and anarchy
under the auspices of a Democratic adj
ministration. With the election OF
Grant and Colfax, the settlement of our
national difficulties upon a. satisfactory
and permanent basis is assured Should
the Democratic party be successful we
have nothing to look forward to but a
renewal of the strife which has already
spilled SO much of the blood and ex-
pended so much of the money. of our
country. In such an event as this latter
to what small extent should we have
reason to. look to the general govern
ment for moneyed appropriations for the
advancement of the interests of our
Territory, or for the construction of rail
road lines which should bring as to the
doors of eastern civilization Instead OF
