THE ALLIES.

Under the circumstances, Democracy
ought to feel proud of their military
allies at New York and the military
proud of their associates. A Conserv-
alive Soldiers Convention called by a
dozen men discharged or resigning
early in the war; others clubbing them
selves with immense titles they never
received from the government, and a
few soured failures, marshalling the
motley crew of suttlers, bummers,
bounty jumpers and perhaps few good
but misguided soldiers, in league with
party whose papers and stumpers
have denounced them with all the bias
phemy and billingate their vocabu~
larry contained. Franklin for Chairman:
He had corps before Fredrieksburgh.
He sacrificed two thousand men in an
hour by an act of criminal stupidity
that should have cashiered him. He
lost the battle by it, after it was won
Genls Meade, Burnside and Robert T..
Lee know this He was relieved in dis
grace and turned up to save the
Union by making pretty speeches
"full of sound and fury signifying
nothing" Henry Clay Dean should
make them aspeech. He said of Grip
pied Union soldier few days since in
Ottamna, Iowa, ''these one-armed sol
diers, who are thrust under our noses
as objects ofCharity. are fit carcasses
for the gallows." 1t tallies nicely with
the high toned proposition to pay them
in gold. Brick Pomeroy, should make
another speech to them calling them
"thieves" ''cut-throats, booty bri
gands" and few other of his choice
pet names, and then-they would prob
ably have enough of Democracy. Still
birds of a feather

table journal would wilfully make. The
Branch Road to Montana is only intend
ed to run from Soda Springs or vicinity
into the jefferson or Madison valleys.
The Portland branch leaves the Central
Road at another point and passes down
Snake river. The two branch roads di~
verge from the point of starting, and the
Montana Branch as reported is line
due north nearly 500 miles. with no other
connection. After travelling over the
500 miles, we would be as far from the
great Atlantic cities as we would be in
Helena, by the Northern road. The
question was put to Mr.. Philip Ritz in
Washington, by the Directors of the
Central, why the people of Walla Walla
would not prefer the immediate Branch
to the prospective Northern main line.
zone reason" said he, "is that after we
bad travelled or shipped our goods one
thousand miles by your proposed Branch
we would still be as far from Chicago as
we were at home" The logic was ap-
parent, and it is to any one, except the
Democrat. We would not object to the
name, but it does not secure us con-
nection," except by hundreds of miles
of circumbendibus, and the assertion
that the Central proposes to construct a
road here that will be "a main trunk
line from Omaha to Portland" is simply
untrue. We refer to the Reports of
Chief-Engineer Dodge on the subject.
The intent of it is to crush the Northern
road in its incipiency, Withdrawing the
aliment, and prematurely strangle the
greatest project ever conceived for Mon
tana. We hold that who encourages
the Branch Road Is an enemy to the
Territory, Such is our honest and de-
liberate conviction, and so we shall
speak.

The Company is also delivering the mails
north of Salt Lake in half the time. and
doing service nearly doubly as often as

the Department requires the transporta-

felt assured that the Overland Mail Com

terms Of their contract, but, so far as
Montana is concerned, doing far more
than it required, and in anticipation
of the amendment taking effect, and
Wells, Fargo & Co. continuing as con-

A skarp Controversy.

in which he sharply criticised Andrew John
son, has been returned to him with the follow
ing endorsement
''The within communication, just handed

Rollins.

Thursday evening, June l1th, 1865.
The Commissioner has again returned the
letter to Mr.. McCulloch with the following
second endorsement:
"Unless the Honorable Secretary shall point
out wherein the endorsed communication is
either partial and incorrect in its statement
on unjust and disrespectfUl to the President, 4
must consider its return TO me as unjustifable
and the reasons therefore other than those
signed"
Rollins reems to be ahead thus far.

Some seventy-five Democrats came
in a body to the Republican caucus in
Auburn, Me-, the other night, announ>

with the party henceforth.
Gen. John A. Logan, Gen. Carl Schurz
Gen. Palmer, the Republican candidate
for Governor of Illinois, Senator Pom

Ohio, are to stump Iowa.
The new constitution of Florida is
said to have modelled after the Consti-
tuition of New York, and particularly in
the clauses providing for the adoption
of amendments by two successive Leg

ton by the people.
Wooley is delighted with the homage
which the Democrats are paying him,

MADISON COUNTY.

The Democracy of Madison have
made their selections. Mr.. Russell, is
nominated as colleague with Mr.. Davis
in the Council and we incline tn the
opinion, if elected he would run in a
crowd by himself as Mr.. Davis did on a
majority of the bills last session. Mr..
Sam Word, the most talented member
snd best debater of the House last
winter, is thrown overheard as also Mr..
Frank Patton, who although not a
fluent speaker, was one of their shrewd-
est fnanciers, and that which is a scarce
commodity in any party-a conscien'
tious politician. Mr.. Donegan has been
q member of the House before, and his
nomination is a concession to the Irish
element which the McCulloch combina-
tions froze out last year, to their sorrow.
If Democrat if to be elected in Madison
county, we hopeit will be Mr.. Donegan
Blunt, plaiE spoken, but honest, his
worst fault is in adhering to party
for the name, which retains none of the
principles that once made it worthy oi
support. The Treasurer and Commits
sioners are present incumbents. We
consider the ticket. as whole. a weak
one, and if the Republicans exert them
selves Madison county can elect the
head of the ticket by over two hundred
majority. They have the material. the
energy, and the votes. Use them.

but as the customs of miners scattered through
the numerous mining camps of the western
States and Territories are not to be found in
any compilation, many of them never having
been reduced to print, it is not surprising that
respect.
As to associations or companies formed for
the purpose of locating claims, however, it
is very evident that they are subject to the
limitations found in the provisos in the
striction of 200 feet to each locator, cannot
be evaded by forming an association.
Very respectfully, your ob't serv't,

Are You Ignorant, or Treacherous,

The Posr observes ''the Branch road, if built,
would be comparatively nothing to US; a
branch line, everything" Now such a sug-
gestion as this is superficial and has no argu-
inent in it whatever. It makes no difference
by what name the line through Montana is
called, provided il secures us connection with
both the Atlantic aod Pacific. 1t will be a
ssmain trunk line" from Omaha to Portland
the citizens of Montana can take the branch
Road and 60 either to New York, San Fran
cisco or fortland.-l Democrat
The above settles the matter, conclu>
sively, that the Democrat is laboring un-
der a strangely absurd hallucination or
is purposely endeavoring to deceive the
people on the railroad question. II can
not be that after all the Democrat has
said on the subject of branch road ii
is wholly ignorant of the proposed route
and terminus of that line; yet, ifi. is not,
these are mis-statements that no respec-
