WILLIAM A. RICHARDSON,
EActing Secretary of the Treasury
This is from the New York Tribune.

Montana has probably elected a Liberal
delegate to Congress in place of w. H.
Ctaget, the sitting member Martin MnUin-
mis-, supported by Liberal Republicans And
Democrats, is ahead throughout the Terri
tory, and the few counties into which Mon
taua is divided give him a decided majority
as far as heard from. Claget was eieotea
60 Congress by majority of about 500; hut
ahe Territory has not fourished under
Grantism, and the natural tendency of the
people is toward Liberalism, although the
result of this election is very doubtful as
yet. The indications that the cause of Lib
eral Reform is gathering strength every
where are no more marked than in the free
States and Territories of the extreme West
and Northwest. The young empire which
Is growing up on the shores of the Pacific
and Puget Sound stretching eastward to
the Rocky Mountains will be for decentral-
4 Eation and the largest lawful liberty to the
local governments.

and instructing our Senators and Repre-

WHEREAS, The Congress of the United
States Of America are contemplating, in
the readjpsting of the national tariff, to re-
move tax or duty from rice, which act
materially affects one of the largest pro-

Jones severe cut upon the left arm. Jones
sung out "Murder and Ku-Klux,n and the

ance. Mitchell and Williams defended them
selves with their knives and kept the crowd
at bay until the latter got hold Of some fence
rails, with which they speedily laid Mitchell

placed in wagon, and delivered in charge OF
the police and confined at the upper Guard
