TO THE DIsCONTENTED.

We presume, if there is any presump-
tented men in Montana. We know
there are those who evidence diseon-
tent, and contemplate returning to the
States: We are not speaking of consti-
tutiousl growlers; they do not rise to
the dignity deserving notice. But there
are others, who. after one or two seas
ons in the mountains, feel discouraged,
conclude their labors are not sufficiently
remunerative, do not see an immediate
better prospect, ami are seriously con-
sidering a return to the States. with the
intention of remaining there. Now, let
US volunteer the cheapest thing in the
world. yet sometimes good thing, not
withstanding-a little advice. Unless
you have a sure thing and a good thing
in the States, stay where you are. The
States is not bad place tor steady,
industrious, temperate, economical man,
but Montana is much better place.
Your labor here, the capital you carry
in your hands as healthy, able. will
ing workman, is equivalent to a cash
capital of five thousand dollars in the
Eastern States. Have you that much
10 invest in farm. a store, or shop
Count your earnings for the last twelve
months, deduct your actual, necessary
expediture, and consider how many of
your friends with five thousand dollars
invested in farm, shop or store, have a
larger margin 20 show tor their
years labor. 1t is not here so much "a
question of how much you earn, but
how much you save. A laborer
can place a limit upon his expenditures
but not his income, Having the income
without the investment of capital, and
with only little heavier actual necessary
expenses. the la5orer ere has an ad-
vantage he could not have in the States.
To be working man here is not a stig-
ma, and honest poverty is not disrepu~
table. The two great difficulties are, we
come here, many of US, with too great
expectations, and the inducements to
protiigacy and extravaganza too fre~
;uently get the better of those whose
expectations are realized. But settling
down here with a determination to sue
ceed, practicing industry, economy, and
resisting the temptations of wine,
women and cards, there is no reason
why any man should not save double or
treble the amount he could in the States.
You may think Moutsna dull, but
the chances are an hundred to one, you
will wish you were back before you have
been in the States three months Every
town aud township from the Mississippi
TO tue Atlantic is swarmiug with men
who are more dissatisfied than you, and
with better cause. Be content to estab-
lish yourselves here with determination
TO succeed, follow your avOcations with
energy, persistence, and economy as you
would be necessitated to do in older
communities, and you will grow rich as
Montana grows great and never regret
your choice of place and pursuit

THOSE FRAUDS AGAIN.

"PdgtuTTuHt m0ates HdscitUr rldicUiuS
mus" In the rejoinder of the gazette
on election frauds, We are told that "the
Republican party charged the Democra-
cy with frauds for the purpose of cover-
ing up Radical frauds, and then follows
muddle of charges against Ashley,
Covode and Julian, in the course OF
which the peculiar rhetoric of the writer
expands itself in such classic phrases

etc, all of which, we will admit, are
terrible sarcastic, and very democratic"
IN style, but what they have To do with
election frauds is beyond our compre-
hension 1t is a very easy way TO parry
one iniquity by charging another-but
our ueighbor is entitled To no patent for
It. The fact that Ashley, Covode and
Julian were beaten by fraudulent votes,
\ 1T proved before Congress, only transfers
the charge of iniquity To Congress. in
our neighbor's view. Democracy, OF
course, is pure. The reports of the tele-
graph that the Democrats imported
voters into Ohio, Indiana and Pennsyl-
Tania, and that Dickinson, the Demo~
cratic member elect from the Sandusky
District, Ohio, bad been arrested for get
ting up great numbers OF false naturali-
sation papers, is no evidence of Deuo-
cratic dishonesty, but the fault, we pre-
sumo. of the telegraph-a charge OF
Democratic fraud for the purpose of

We regret that you Were ever be-
tray'd into that "lame and impotent"
conclusion to your article of 'holding us

which we commenced the reply, as
slightly expressive of that triumphant
contamination. When We read your
rejoicings over the defeat of Ashley, Co

that the Democracy of Montana" had

JOHNsON--CHASE--sEwARD.

Probably the most ridiculous contri>
button to the campaign literature of
'6S was Mr. Johnson's recent telegram
to- Mr. Seymour. He waited until the
legs of the Democratic candidate were
thoroughly broken, and then urged him
to run the race. 1t tell to the earth as
suds from a bursted bubble. Even Dem
ocrats regarded it as a joke gotten off at
full moon by a person of questionable
sanity But the Presidential Simon
said wiggle," and all the simon pures
"wiggle" accordingly. Mr.. Chase wig
gled first. His sense of responsibility is
so acute that, although one party is
right and the other wrong, he cannot
copscientiously vote. and so decides to
"wiggle along passively. He cannot
decide upon questions of the present,
but is entirely competent to decide ques-
tions of the future. He donned the
garment of prophecy and the Oracle
spake. Gen. Grant is TO be elected and
then To be damned. The Republican
party are TO conquer and then be reft
asunder There can be no question of
this He admits no contingency of har-
mony. The result is inevitable-the
decree irrevocable. What a surprise il
will be TO the ambitious and soured
greenbacker, when he learns that he,
like others. is finite, fallible, and exs
tremely liable to make an ass of himself
at most inopportune times. And last
