AFTER PLUNDEK Jim Ashley,
one of the most notorious thieves 10
the radical pack, is Governor of
Montana by appointment of Grant,
and has signalized the commence
ment of his administration by remov-
ing the duly elected Auditor and
Treasurer of the Territory, and op-
pointing tools of his own to ell their
places. Ashley means to rob the
people of Montana, and 10 do ~ IL is
Lecessary to have an Auditor and
Treasurer who will counive at his
stealing and divide the plunder with
him Under any other AdminisIra
ton we would look for the summary
dismissal Of this thieving Governor,
but with Grant it is different, and
all Ashley has to do is to make the
President an occasional present,
when he is sure to be sustained in
robbing and plunderiog the people OF
the i'll l-faied Territory.

ORDER AND DECuKUM.-We hear many
expressions OF approval of the dignity
and decorum exhibited by Judge Ken

HE hAlLhOAD IAhlt' Auo
Helena Gazette, of the I'd inst, has
the following in relation to the parry
of gentlemen who are engaged in
making reconnaissance for the North
Pacific Railroad It says they have
been down to Benton, and to the
Maris and Teton; coming back they
explored Caaottc's pass, and the Deer
Lodge and Mullah passes they had
.traversed before. 1t is not their
business, ss we understand, to locate
the route. They are taking general
observations in regard not only to
the feasibility of line Of road, but
of the nature aud prospects Of the
country, and the value of the land
through which it passes We UNDER
stand that but one sentiment pre-
walls among them, and that is Of the
utmost satisfaction and surprise, not
only with the ease with which road
can be built through the country, but
with the evident richness of the
country itself in resources, natural
advantages and future prospects.
There is no doubt that their report
in the East will be most favorable in
every point; and that next year will
witness good comm' ncement, at
least, on this important work.
