a WEEK OF IITIGATIoN.-Since our last
his Honor. Judge Langlforne, has been on
the Bench almost constantly. The promi-
nent cases were based on repleyin-a horse
valued at 1856 being the subject The first,
Ward versus Shuster, occupied two days in
the examination of witnesses and hearing ar
gument by counsel. Then came Sales versus
Ward demanding possession of the aforesaid
Bucephalns, and the hearing in this casa
mere supplement of the ffrst-was not less
tedious than the first. In the first George
S. Coleman appearedfo Ward, and Fl. n
Williams for Shuster and the second, Street
q Turner appeared for the plaintiff and Mr..
Coleman for the defendant. The decision
was in favor of the plaintiff on the first hear
ing, and of the defendant ON the second.
Judge Langhorne rendered his decision III
both cases with a perspecuity and compre-
ahensiveness that demonstrate his fitness for
tie position he holds. On Tuesday Henry
Williams, a young ranchman living on the
West Gallatin, was arrested OH complaint Of
Patrick Corcoran for making violent threats,
etc. J. j. Davis for plaintiff and Street &
Turner for defendant. The defendant was
discharged from custody. The hearing OF
the Chinese murder case is progressing as we
go to press.

THE HELENA HERALD-Fhe Herald made

The HELENA HERALD.-The Herald made
its appearance last week IN an entire new
dress and in its old familiar form before the
fire. We have received both daily and week
ly issues, and to say that we feel proud to
recognize in the West and particularly in our
own Territory, such an evidence OF the adj
yancement of the topographic art in the get
mp Of both papers, and the manifested enter
prise Of the publishers of the Herald to turn
out paper second to none, in appearance
and editorial ability, would hardly render
them justice. Montana can boast of better
newspapers, comparatively speaking, than
any State or Territory in the Unions and the
Herald stands at the head. Such enterprise
should meet with liberal encouragement.
The recent severe ordeal through which the
Herald passed, and the manner Of it's coming
out--like silver from the crucible-highly
improved in appearance, gives it a genuine
stamp, tilat will successfully resist all tie
difficulties of newspaper life.

CHnrsTMAs.-What magic is contained in
the word, particularly to the young Mem
cries of happy, bysgone days are clustered
around the lame--of MANTLE joys and the
ambition and fire Of youth. It is day
fraught with gay and festive scenes IN the
whole civilized >World. It baIishes sorrow
and brings joy to the old and young-it
is tie present with the youth and the past
with the aged. Although denied many of
the facilities in this new country Of making
the day pleasurable that are possessed IN the
older States, there is no place where the holt
days are more properly appreciated except
on the old plantations Before another IS
sue, Christmas and the attendant holidays
will be upon us. eWish all merry, happy
Christmas, And in the scenes OF our nlirth
let us not forget that the day is sanctified by
the birth of our Redeemer and the heavenly
anthem of '.Glory be to God on high; peace
on earth, good will towards men. I, ~ tx

Al ROAD LAW.


No need of our people is .more sorely felt
at present than that of a well-conssructed
road law. As the country is settled UP the
want Of avenues of Communication II felt
more and more. The system il operation at
present has resulted in much neighborhood
strife and contention. and much expensive
litigation. Some system of road manage
ment is needed that shall avoid these evils.
Such q law has been introduced in the Coun-
ell by Judge Beck of GalMtin County, who
has given The subject much and careful hives
tigation; and he has embodied the result, Of
his study III the bill now before the Council.
Its provisions are wise, ample, and Will Il
adopted provide such q system as will give TO
the Territory the right start in this impor-
tant particular. It's consideration in the
Council occupied the greater partof the day
yesterday, and it met with the unanimous
approval Of that body. We hope tor e 2
similar recep option ii the Honse, and we doubt
not ii will be- 10 received and soon become q

and by this means they are In many instances
compelled to purchase at this house, when it
was their custom and desire to purchase Of
other merchants. While essrs, Wilson 81
Rich probably have as good quality of mer-
ehandise, and sell the same ais cheap, as other
merchants, many Of these people have their
accounts and do their trading at other houses,
and it is an injustice to them, as well as to
the merchants. to force orr ranclnnpn to
make their purchases contrary to their
wishes. These complaints have become so
frequent that We. endeayoring to assist lii

to the greatest number. enter our protest
against any private arrangements If such
really exists, that curtails the rights of our
ranchmen, or that gives an undue advantage
to one firm of merchants over others equally
deserving of patronage. Fort Ellis affords a
market for the products Of this valley, aud
from that source ralchmen expect to get
money to pay theirdebe5. and make future
purchases. just So long as they are kept
! waiting for that money, just so long is the
general prosperity OF our people affected.
/ The money received by them passes through
the hands Of every man in the county, Ell

one of the main reasons assigned by many
for the unusual scarcity of money in Gallatin
County this season. Our merchants depend

one firm, such as is reported to exist between
Mr.. 3ogert and Wilson & Rich. would oper

small advance in the iobbing price Of very

retail prices are about the same. Holders of
goods seem disposed to accommodate as
many Of their customers as possible by sell

III the articles of sugar and coffee there has
been an advance Of from three TO five cents
in the jobbing price. Our main staple at
present, which is flour, remains firm at our
former quotations. The mills are grinding
