have since strictly adhered.
In accepting Agents, great care has been
exercised to appoint those who, by long
continued fair dealing, have acquired a
reputation for honesty, responsibility, and
probity-men in whose word the public
have learned to place confidence. These
Agents have agreed to keep full assort-

published prices. Thus the public are sup
piled by them with just such pens as they
want, either as to writing or price, and get
full equivalent for the money paid.
No agent is appointed to travel from

THE MONTANA ELECTION LAW
IN CONGRESS.

On the eth of January, in the House,
Mr.. Clarke, of Kansas, submitted the
following preamble and resolution, upon
which he demanded the previous ques-
ton:
WHEREAS, by act of Congress, passed
January "a, 1867, it was provided that
there shall be no denial of thes elective
franchise in any of the Territories of the
United States now or hereafter to be or
ganized, to any citizen thereof on ac-
count of race, color, or previous condition
of servitude, and all acts and parts of
acts either of Congress or the Legislative
Assem- mblies of said Territories, inconsist-
ent with the provisions of this act are
hereby declared null and void = and
whereas. it is reported that the Terrific
rial Legislature of Montana have passed
bill which was approved by the Gov
ernor of said Territory on the 22d day of
November, 1867, containing the follow
ing provisions "All white male citi-
zens Of the United States, and those who
have declared their intention to become
citizens above the age of twenty-one
years, shall be entitled TO vote at any
election for Delegate TO Congress TOR

provided they shall have resided in the

THE CRISIS.

The kilograms indicate a serious and
very unhappy condition of affairs in
Washington. 1t Is a political crisis,
fraught with momentous events cloud
long gathering and full charged not only
with diversities of opinion on govern
mental polity and the Limitation of
powerin the several coordinate branches
Of the government, but il contains, too,
the intensfying, embittering elements
Of personal animosity and ambition.
Were it not for these latter. the mere
abstract questions as to whether the
President is guilty of high crimes and
misdemeanors, or whether the Tenure of
Office bill is constitutional, would not
entail the serious and threatening aspect
affairs now assume, As it is. we have
apparently fallen upon troublous times,
and we leave it to the unprejudiced con-
sideration of all, if it has not been in
stigated, and brought about by the contin-
nous and obstinately persisted in efforts of
the President to remove from Office a
man who has exhibited sterling ability,
integrity and loyalty. without any
charges against him and in direct oppo-
sitiou 80 law and the expressed will of
the people through their re representatives.
Under the appointment of Thomas to
supercede Stanton, Congress was COM
pelled 20 either abandon their position
or impeach the President without fur
ther ceremony. In consideration Of in
evitable impeachment, instigated by bad
advisers and maddened by the legisla-
tive restraints thrown aronnd him, it is
possible that he may endanger the peace
OF the country rather than sacrifice his
own mad schemes and ambition. On each
previous occasion when the discord be
tween Congress and the Executive
threatened to culminate in actual con-
fict tor the ascendancy, the President
has receded. Now, in the most violent
rupture that has yet occurred, the Pres
ident finds himself standing almost alone
in his opposition to law. We think he
will scarcely plunge the country in an
other sea of blood-yet the possibility
exists, and in that possibility these are
the most critical times the Republic has
passed through since the Rebellion
waned.-[ Tuesdays T'i- Weekly.

THE SITUATION.

The latest dispatches from Washing
ton indicate that the first burst of ex-
element regarding impeachment has
been succeeded by a more temperate and
considerate view of the situation. Con-
ventions, Legislatures, clubs and organ
izations throughout the country have
passed resolutions sustaining the posi-
tion of either of the parties in the case /;
highly infammatory speeches, on curb
stone and rostrum, are doubtless in
dulged in to an unlimited extent
throughout the country, and perhaps
there are some who would urge another
civil war in preference to abiding the
result of the last, and using their efforts
to restore peace, harmony and prosper
ity to the land. Such an event was
imminent week ago; the emergency
is probably past, and it is we'll. The
Committee is preparing the evidence in
the case, and the only contingency un-
der which any serious trouble may be
anticipated will be in the event of the
President declining to appear before the
Senate. or what is more probable, a
refusal to surrender his Office should
they find him guilty. With all Mr..
Johnson's insinuations against their
integrity, we confidently believe the
Senate will deal with him even to an
unwonted degree of leniency, and the
statement of the New York HerGLds
special that there are doubts of the abil-
ity of the Committee TO produce evi-
dence sufficient to secure the two thirds
vote against him, is grounded upon the
fact that the senate always has been, and
now is, inclined to place the most chari.
table construction upon his actions. The
Stanton-Thomas affair has gone into the
courts for adjudication. The kilograms
give it's status. The press of Montana
are having their say in it, the Herald
standing off and on till it sees the coast
clear; the Gazette seeing all to gain and
nothing to lose by the Democracyin IN tnis
matter, is loud against Congress; and
the Democrat win be on the same track
this morning. Republicans stand by
the action OF Congress with firm belief
in the propriety and justice of the course
IL is pursuing. The Democracy differ
somewhat-some are disposed to "let

securities, represents the redemption,
and Mr.. Pendleton the repudiation ele-
ments. To give Belmont strength in the
Convention, his proposition was TO allow
the Southern States to be represented
only by proxies and he very coolly APP
pointed members of the Committee to
hold those proxies. Mr.. Belmont has
exerted the powerful influence his wealth
and position gives him to commit the
Eastern States on the payment of the
national debt before the meeting of the
Convention. and although the action of
the Committee indicates that he did not
carry his proxy point at Baltimore, the
following resolution adopted by the Con-
necticut Democratic Convention, Jan.
20, shows that repudiationists win find
the issue raised against them within
their own party: +, ,--..--.f .,,T - - .--
Resotred, That we are in favor of re-
deemiug all our pecuniary obligations
and Of paying the public debt in the man
her provided by law, and that we there
fore feel the necessity of reducing a
system of taxation more onerous than
that of England or France, and organs
lied in part for the destruction of State
sovereignty. The Democratic party are
not in favor of repudiating the debt or
the Constitution of the country, and
would therefore reduce the taxes, as
well as restore the liberties of the peo-
pie .# ...r as-.rT.aF ..fF ... s.a..lr ..r-. .r.t

SEC, 5. The Congress shah have pow
er to enforce, by appropriate Legislation,
the provisions of this article. ~
The Legislatures of threefourths of
the entire number of States not having
never been declared a part of the Con-
stitution, but three-fourths of the States
now represented in Congress have rati-
fed it. and the proposition recently
made to declare their ratification alone
necessary to make it valid has precipi-
tated these resembling resolutions of
Ohio and New Jersey. If the position
maintained by the Union party regard
ing the non-existence of any duly organ
lied and recognized civil State govern
ments within the late rebellious States
is correct, and we firmly and truly be-
lieve it is, then, under the fifth article
of the Constitution, ratified as the
amendment is by the requisite number
of Legislatures in the organized States,
we believe that 1t is to all intents and
purposes proper part of the Constitu-
ton. If this be true, the resolutions Of
Ohio and of New Jersey are of nom
effect, and the end they seek. to attain
cannot be accomplished but by another
amendment proposed, adopted and rati-
fed as the foregoing. If it is not, the
position is held even by the friends Of
Mr.. Johnson's administration that the
ratification of measure by State Leg
islature. filed in the Department of
State, cannot be withdrawn by a reso-
luton of subsequent Legislature. The
amendment is unexceptionable to loyal
men, With the death of slavery, the

treason a crime. Such is the substance
of the Article from which two Demo-
cratic Legislatures who have just Sc
cured power. desire to retract the assent
given by their immediate predecessors.
Futile though their efforts may be. it is
indubitable evidence Of their evil designs
and warning example of the disloyal
policy and affiliations that will blacken
their record in the fierce, reckless at
tempts to regain the political ascendancy
from which they were disgracefully
hurled when with corrupted and imbe-
cile hands their leaders would have sur
rendered the ship of State to the pirates

Trick Of a Danseuse.

Some two months ago, an attorneys
cades in Paris, when modest young lady
passed by and dropped a portfolio. The
clerk Immediately picked it up but. failed
to overtbke its fair owner. In the evening
he examined its contents, and found seve-
raj letters from mama, in the country, re-
questing daughter Heloise to shorten her
visit with her aunt in Paris, to return
home, and prepare to enjoy the fortune re-
verting to he. on attaining her majority,
and seek suitable husband among her To-
cal admirers. Here was fortune that
would enable him to set up in business for
himself, and a wife to be proud of. That
evening he called on the aunt, restored the
portfolio, asked Der permission to visit,
wooed the niece, won her heart, and ulti-
mately the wedding day was fixed. The
+" Fortunate lover presented Heloise with
jewelry, laces, ETC., without end. Gustaye
gave farewell banquet last week to his
bachelor friends. and they agreed to visit,
the same evening, one of the public balls.
To his astonishment, and without her see
ing him, Gustave beheld his Heloise sur
rounded by a group OF persons, before
whom she was executing her professional
immodest dance.
Gustave has demanded the restoration
of his valuable presents, which Heloise
cannot give, as they have long been sold,
and the police, on looking over their note
books, found this was not the first occasion
Heloise had lost her portfolio" which
had been picked up by simpleton.
