.sOFF WITH MS HEAD"

Bv Eastern papers Of the 18th inst. it ap-
pears that on the 18th inst. the name of
Joshua (Jessc) Armitage was sent to the
Senate Ivy the President as Agent Of tho
Blackfect and ncighboring tribes. This
displaccs Mr.. A. J. Simmons, who had not
! been, up to that date, confirmed. The lines
being down at the time accounts for the
news reaching US by mail. To say that We
regret to see Mr.. Simmons thus summarily
guilIo.ined IL about the Hildest expression
We can use. We know nothing adverse to
Mr.. Armitage. lie "run with the boy"
two or three years ago, until ccnvivia!i,y
had the best of him. but reformed, and to the
best Of our knowledge he is now rs temper
ate, industrious, exemplary, and deserving
a gentleman as there is in the Territory. In
moderate circumstances, with a family to
support, there is no cause of complaint that
VIC are aware of. in his appointment. His
daily walk and conversation rs Christian
of the Methodist persuasion, is probably
more orthodox than that of Mr.. Simmons.
But, if peace on the border, judicious and
successful management of the worst tribes
in Montana, and prcfermcnt to public
spirited, useful citizen. comes in as con.
sidcration, Mr.. A. J. Simmons has not his
superior, If Inc has an equal, in the whole
range Of appointments made in Montana.
We do not believe there is any reason under
the sun why he should not be confirmed
and remain Agent, except that he is not
prominently identified with the Methodist
Church, and that fact existed when he was
nominated. We rather like Methodism, but
not this method of disposing Of good officers
1t would have been just about as judicious
for tho Secretary of War 10 have removed
Grant after Vicksburg, because he did not
repeat the Wesleyan creed on review.
Not knowing that Mr.. Simmons has any
objections to decapitation, and thoroughly
satisfied the President and Senate will man.
age this appointment business without par.
ticular reference to our views, We still can
not forbear the assertion, heretical as it may
be. that for practically pious and peaceful
management Of the red skin cut-throsts on
the Missouri, there could not have been
found in Montana better Agent than A. J.
Simmons, and his removal is one of those
things Napoleon characterized as 'worse
than crime"

THt DOOMED CITY

Paris is without hope: The proud city
that would not bend I'd the Invader must
break. Standing by her postern gates a.
the Sentry of Herculaneum, her heroic
people are at last overwhelmed. Her pal.
aces the camps of invadcrs,-the iron of
her enemies ploughing through the tombs
of her honored dcad-tEc fire Of desolation
ravaging her fairest dominions, famine
walking hand in hand with her soldiers,
women and children-the dead and dying
upon tho streets, and every resort Of diplo-
macy, generalship and valor abortive to
give relief, the plea for mercy has at last
gone up from the tremulous lips Of hef I'm.
perilled children, and Paris is on the eve of
surrender. Since Sedan, this has been in {.
evitable, in the ordinary results of war,
and Paris has plucked laurels from the fires
of humiliation, by unwavering fidelity to
the cause Of France. But her days and
hours are numbered, and ere long the thun.
der of German columns will be heard on
the Boulcvards, and an Emperor from be-
You'd the Rhine address his soldiers from
the Tuilleries. 1t is time To prolong the
contest is ruin to the fair City, and no good
can result. Europe will not permit the ab-
sorption of France by Germany, and in
later years, on other fields Frenchmen must
seek that satisfaction she cannot now oh.
tain in. an unequal contest by the hearth
stones Of their doomed Capital.

ENFRANCHISENIENT.

]. A Bill has been introduced in The Sc
nate of Arkansas for the removal OF all
political disabilities imposed on those
lately in rebellion. The adoption of this
enlightened and liberal policy, towards
the thousands Of misguided and misjudg-
ing secessionists, is being looked at, now
that the heat of contest, and the terror of
disruption have passed away and reason
is calmly resuming her control, as neces-
sary and just, if not imperative. The
disfranchisement, demanded in a moment
OF imminent national peril, and made ne
cessary Gas measure Of protection and
SAT t;,. and not of punishment" degen-
crates into q weapon of tyranny, if pro-
longed after the relations of the States
with the Federal Government have been
satisfactorily restored.
Many well thinking and devoted Re
pubicans are found in direct opposition
to this doctrine, not SO much it seems be-
cause the propositions are wrong, but the
conclusion is feared, on account of the eff
fects, they fear, that will result to the Re
publican party if "the rebels" all over the
Country are permitted to vote. OF this
result we have no fears. The Genius OF
Republicanism as now developed has sue
ceeded SO far, in spite of the most 81
gantic oplo ation which fratricidal wal
could offer. Truth and Justice have sc
far prevailed, and if in the future we fail
either, because of the dishonesty and in
justice of our own party, or OF another
treachery of those we are willing again &c
trust we must be content to again renew
the struggle and again array ourselves
on the battle field in the contention fol
the supremacy OF Right, and Justice and
Truth.

what pity the lone gentleman" himself
