WHY NOT ADMTTTED.-The Statesman Of
August 10Th, in giving an account of the find.
ing of the body of Diedrich Koch-the suicide
conveys, doubtless unintentionaly, the idea
that the man who was sick and discouraged
at his non-success financially" was badly treat
ed, and that the hospital authorities inhumanly
refused to receive him in that institution. The
truth is, he would not make the affidavit which
the law requires of every applicant for admis-
sion to the hospital, ON the ground that he
owned an interest in some mining claims which
his partners were then engaged in working.
nor would he convey his interest to the county
and asa matter of course, he could not be ad-
United without fulfilling the requirements of
the law. The officers are not to blame. The
man did not appear to be very sick, although
he had been complaining of weakness for some
time; and we are informed by some of his
friends that, for some months prior to his
death, he appeared to be partially deranged;
"kind of something wrong about his head"

CoRoNEks VERDICT,-The Coroner's jury
in the case of the Westfeld explosion have re-
turned verdict that the accident was caused
by defective boiler and careless engineer
aud that the company owning the boat are re.
sponsble for both. In accordance with the
verdict the Coroner issued a warrant for the
arrest of the President, Directors and Super
intendent of the Ferry Company. They should
be held to strict accountability, as the en-
gineer himself, who is n negro, has admitted
that he don't know the difference between n
high-pressure or low-pressure engine, and in
fact knows nothing about his business further
than the practical experience of knowing how
to run steam engine. A rich company who
will thus peril the lives of thousands of people
by being too stingy TO replace their old, worn.

and by employing ignorant engineers, who
can't tell even by looking at the steam gauge
what head of steam they have on, should be
put through TO the extent of the law.

SPEECH BY CARL SCHURZ.-Senato Schurz
of Missouri, made speech in Chicago on the
night of August l2th to an immense crowd OF
Germans, and explained his programme for the
organization of 4 reform party. to be composed
of liberal men of both existing parties the
distinctive features of the new party creed
being general amnesty, free trade and civil
service reform. Mr. Shurz announced that he
was opposed to the reelection of General
Grant; and the opposition of such men as
Schurz, Trumbull, Sumner, Logan and other
leaders of the Radical party is not to be sneered
ut by the ambitious occupant OF the White
House. General Grant will, without doubt,
succeed in forcing denomination at the hands
of his army of Office holders, but he will find
that he cannot force his reelection on the PEG.
pie. The people have had about enough of the
soldier and want little more of the States

oughly disguised with Grant and they know
that the people are also. Ben. Butler, Morton.

the great "impeacher," after being removed
from the gubernatorial chair of Montana by
Grant, has at length succeeded in reinstating
himself in the "royal" favor. His aptitude
for dirty work was so well known that Grant
concluded to get him out of the way, and he
has accordingly appointed the sweet scented

once to his post before the frost puts quetus

loo defeat of the Democracy. Although we
were to certain extent prepared for such
news, or at least anticipated a close race be-
tween Clagett and Toole, we had no idea thai
the split in the Democratic party of Montana
had become so general throughout the whole
Territory. The defeat of Hon. j. NJ. Cava.
naugh in the Territorial Democratic Conven-
ton, about two months ago, was the political
death warrant" of the Democratic nominee
for Congress. Had no chicanery or fraud been
practlced either in the primaries or county con-
yentions, we are satisfied from what we have
learned from the Montana papers that Cava-
naugh would have been renominated for Con-
gress. 1t the proceedings of the Missoula
county Democratic Convention were as given
by one of the Delegates in communication to
one of the Montana papers, it is not to be won
dered at that the people, or rather the Demo-
cratic masses, refused to abide by the decision
of the Territorial Convention. While men,
bers of the party feel themselves in honor,
bound to support the nominees of their Con

men, requires that they should do SO still

AFTER THE BEAsT.-The New York Tribune

AFTER THE BEAST.-The New York Tribune
is after old Ben Butler with sharp stick, and
Greeley doesn't seem to relish the idea Of the
Beast being the candidate of the Radicals for
Governor of the staid old commonwealth oil
Massachusetts,. Ben said recently to friend
that he had not contemplated the possibility
of defeat" and he is evidently working like
beaver to secure the Radical nomination. He
is opposed by the leading papers OF his party,
but opposition only makes Butler work the
harder to accomplish his ends. The Tribune,
in reviewing Buffers ideas on the French Com
mune, woman suffrage, &C., concludes as fol-
lows:
We cannot but believe the party will nominate one
of the thousands of better and truer men 1t has with.
in its ranks and will leave this adventurous free
lance to seek the odds and ends Endorsement he is
now aiming at and let him assume his natural posi-.
ton o carnival candidate-a KING OF snreos anu
patches
Whenever any dirty work is to be done in
Congress, Old Ben is put forward as being the
most fit and capable for such work. The Mas
sachusetts Radicals seem to think that he is
good enough to represent them at Washington
in the capacity of member of the Lower
House of Congress, but sense of decency re-
strains them from encouraging him in his CUB
ernatorial aspirations.

Governor has needed the request by commut-

REFUSED ANY AID.-G0vern0r Potts, Of
Montana, recently requested of the War De
partment that more troops be sent to protect
the settlers in Gallatin Valley. but the Depart
ment declines to do so, assigning as one reason
the smallnsss of the force Of troops available
in that region. They can send troops down
into North Carolina aud other Southern States
to manipulate elections, but can't afford to
send any into Montana to protect tho lives and
homes of the frontier settlers. The negroes
are taken care of in the South, and troops
sent to protect them from the spectral Ku.Kux
and other imaginary foes, but the white men
of Montana must look out for themselves. It
took several years and cost couple of hun
dred lives of white men in Arizona before the
authorities were convinced that there were any
Indian troubles in that Territory, and that it was
necessary to send some soldiers there before
the country was depopulated. We may look
for an outbreak in Southern Idaho at any time,
although the matter has been urged upon the
attention of the Commander of this military
department.. We have no evidence, as yet,
that any steps will be takea to guard against
such calamity, and it may be that the people
will have to attend to the Indians without the
aid of the military authorities. If it should
occur, few volunteer companies would soon
render Southern Idaho little too hot for the
Lo family. As aid has been denied the settlers
in Montana, we are prepared, at any time, to
hear of the New York Tribune dwelling with
horror on "another brutal massacre of Indians
by whites in Montana
