THE CHINESE BILLS.

We notice in the Aontanian synopsis OF
the bill. introduced by Councilman Bullock,
Ito prevent Chinese from acquiring mining
ground in Montana" the substance of
which is as follows:
SEC. That from and after the passage Of this act
subject of the Empire Of Chns shall acquire or hold
SEC T. That when 90 held it shsil be rubject to re-
location BY citizens those who have declared their
intention to become such.
SEC 4 That In case any Chinese refuse to surren;
der such relocation. action for fOrcbe entry and
detaincr may be brought before Justice Of the Peace
and the
property before the passage OF this act.
We are sorry to zee our iworthy Council
man from Lewis and Clark get off wrong
on this matter. It is unequal. class legisla-
ton and will defeat the object sought, in
that it will be declared null and void as
were the tax and license laws of California
and Idaho How Mr.. Bullock come to
commit this error We are unable to deter
mine.
We see, Dixon, Of Deer Lodge, has
given notice of bill to provide for the for
fe,ture to the Territory of the placer mines
held by aliens. The purport of this bill,
we presume, is to provide that after it, pas
sage no alien can acquire placer ground in
Montana, and that when 80 acquired, it shall
on an inquest of office found, revert to the
State lin this case United States), or in
other words, he considered abandoned and
subject to re location by citizens or those
who have declared their Intentions. The
theory of this measure, and the laws bear.
ing upon il, We presented in series of able
articles in the New NORTH. WEST over a
year ago, by our present Delegate, Mr..
Clagett, and its practicability and sufflcien.
cy to attain the end sought has never been
refuted. We feel assured the error IN the
the first bill will be avoided in this,
and a. it only refers to placers, it will not
meet with the opposition invoked by ex-
tending its provisions to cover quartz,
wherein our iminent blessing the plethoric
pursed British subject. is expected to invest.

THE FIRST VETO.

We notice the Governor has vetoed the
Resolution making 40 appropriation from
the Territorial funds. to furnish each mem
Der with six copies of the Aontanian and
one copy of each other paper in the Terri
tory. Our correspondent, madison" says
the entire cost is 81 1857 90, which he proba.
bly, thinks an unnecessary and excessive
draft on the Treasury, and as his message
strongly advocated retrenchnent, he has
bad the nerve to veto it. The most of men
would, through policy, have approved this
rather than invoke the $l357. 90 worth of
displeasure from the entire Territorial press,
for that's a good deal these times. We
rather admire the pluck evidenced, for it
demonstrates he will use the full extent of
his power in favor of economy, and this is
something the Territory stands in need of
True, it would be advantageous for Lsgis-
lators to see the suggestions and comments
Of the press on legislative matters. True, it
has been the custom to furnish them-al-
though heretofore from Government funds,
we believe True, We have no objection to
furnishing 30 copies to the Legislature, and
collecting the payment. But the Legisla.
tors arc amply paid, and If they want Ter
ritorial papers can subscribe for them indi
vidually, just as other officers do. We do
not see that the public purse should be
opened for this purpose, and are very we'll
pleased to see eight members of the House
entertain the same opinion. And now, the
Legislature having reduced publication fees
and sustained this veto adverse to the press,
we want to see consistent economy in all
legislation. The press has stood its full
share, SO far, without . murmur that we
have heard, and 80 far the retrenchment has
been confined to it. DO not be partial.

there that 1t will be a beneficial safeguard
to that section. But we deprecate the use
OF the Presidents order as the pretext for

now that q drunken band of Indians should

or shoot at the Fathers, the Pioneer would
see In It full vcrifica.ion OF its forcbodings.
And yet these things have been done within
the past two years, in Missoula county and
