MEETING OF THE LEGISL A.
TIRE. m

We publish in this iSsue the proclamation
Of Gov. Potts, convening the lie sislature in
extraordinary session at Virginia City on the
18th day of April. We have no disposition to
cavil at this proclamation Of GOV. Potts. pro-
Yided the grounds set forth in the proclama-
ton are tenablc, and are the real objects OF
the co avocation. We are satisfied that they
form the basis of the call SO far as Gov Potts
is concerned. but we are also equally satisfied
and co, WINGED that this result has been
brought about by false pretenses. The Helena
papers substantiated this view by their publ
cations GLOWING the announcement by tele-
graph thata proclamation had been issued
converting the Legislature. Having tailed to
secure the calling of an extra session OF the
Legislature on the railroad scheme, that was
calculated to benefit only two eoulnies Of the
Territory, which have been left ont in the /.
by the Northern Pacific Railroad, two satel-
ltes of the Helena ring were summoned
from its sister in distress. Virginia City, to
confer with the President and Directors of
an embryo railroad corporation, self-consti-
tuted. looking to self-interest paramount to
that OF the public and detrimental to honest
principle, the result being that the Commits

Warren, Knowles and Symes to blush III
shameful ignorance of law, and following in
the wake of Lewis and Clarke, manipulated

Gallatin-the latter being fraud upon the
Taxpayers OF this county.
The Legislative Assembly is only CON
vened for extraordinary purposes when the
public interests are vitality affected, and the
proclamation Of u G Governor usually states
the objects OF such an extraordinary. event,
requiring the taxpayers of the Territory to
give up an additional amount of their hard
earned money 10 support the same. 1t is
reasonable to suppose that-having the in
terests of their constituents at heart-the
representatives will confine the extra session
within the least limit, and take the proclama-
ton conyening them as their text, acting
only upon that which is set forth. @a

In the late yearly financial statements oil
the Board of County commissioners. Of this
County, up to March lst., 1873, there are
some items inviting attention, among which
are two under the same denomination--
g Rent and Expenses" The first 500. 20, and
the second ST ,525, 90, making total OF ST.
625, 20. Upon inquiring at the Office of the
County Clerk, We were informed that the
sum OF nine hundred dollars rent of the Court
House building alone is included in the above
amount, and two hundred and forty dollars
allowed the Probate Judge and County
Treasurer l$l20, 90 eacl) tor their offices,
thus $ mining up a total Of 81, 140, 90 for rent
alone; the balance covers rent OF Jury rooms,
fuel and other expenses. The fact that first
i resents itself here as worthy Of notice, is,
that a bout eighteen months sent MS now paid
for the use OF this building, would more than
cover its total value; and that this sum is
paid for structure wholly inadequate to the
purposes tor which it is rented, and, because
OF that inadequacy, mourning further expense
for apartments that ought to e + und within
a building commanding the rent paid for
this. If we are correct in our view, as to
the exorbitant rent, land we have given our
opinions as founded upon extensive inquiry
from those who know of what they speak, j
ought not our County Commissioners, as tire
financial agents of the County. either obtain.
the building at fair and reasonable rent, or
will not be All extortion from the county cof-
fers. We hazard the opinion, that not one
of the County Commissioners, acting for
himself, would pay any such rent for the
building named, however so much use he
might lave for it, and we ask not too much
where duties are all important, to do for
those who have chosen them as their agents,
just what they would do for themselves iii
point OF prudent economy, coupled with
due regard to convenience and purpose. The
remedy may be found in other ways. Surely

local government as any other, and are not

PERsoNAL.-We have been honored the
past week by calls from number Of gentle
men who have in the past given our Terri
tory substantial aid in the discovery an sub
sequent development of some Of her richest
mines. Among them, Capt. n. i. Turner,
the discovercr of the celebrated Turner pro-
cess for extracting silver from the ore, who
is now interested In the new Norton & Rea
mill at Cherry Creek also Mr.. l.. D. Por-
ter, who has made Silver Star famous rs one
of the richest mineral districts of the Terri
tory, and whose energy and enterprise
In other business relations has placed
him among the mo euterprising citizens OF
our Territory, and Geo. w. Rea, whose per-
severance, energy and ilitio mitable will is at
last receiving that reward which we'll direct

MONTANA MINING PROPERTY.
The Time to Invest.

Our late reports from Montana are very i'm
portant. The rich developments in the
Cherry Creek mines, in the DAVIS LODE. and
in the LEGAL TENDER, the latter assaying as
high as So. 500 per ton, indicate no lack OF the
precious metals in that territory. But Mon
tana does not need 'snew discoveries" to
establish the richness of her mines. Rich
gold and silver bearing quartz lodes. dis
covered years ago, number many hundred,
some Of which assay, from near the surface,
as high as $4,000 per ton; yet these mines
are uadeveloped, and comparatively un-
known outside of Montana. One reason Tor
this has been. and is now, the want of
CHEAP AND RAPID TRANSFORMATION.
The great distance from railroads and
steam nayigation.-the latter via Fort Benton
OH the Missouri River, can only be depended
upon about one month"; the year, " hlle the
former is distant 400 miles-compafe with
Colorado, Utah. Nevada and California, has
led many capitalists to invest in the latter
States and Territories in preference to Mon
tana. But the rapid progress making in the
construction of the N nth Pacific Railroad,
aud the pushing ahead of the Utah Northern
narrow gauge, from its junction with the
Union and Central Pacific in Salt Lake valley
will so on give Montana competing lines, and
place her OH the footing Of themost favored
mining countries in the West. We read that
there is time and tide. that, taken at the
flood, leads on to fortune. That
THE TIME TO INVEST
in Montana has arrived, we are certain, and
if taken advantage OF by our Eastern capital
lists nor. will as snrelvs. lead ON to foasare,'
as any human reasoning from the past could
indicate. Since the early construction OF
these lines of railroads has become a err

to advance, and will undoubtedly continue
to do SO until the railroads are completed,
when the rush of emigration will commence.

Governors Proclamation.

We publish the proclamation OF Governor
Potts, converting an extra session April Il,
1873, as published in the Gazette. The rea-
sons assigned for the session are mainly, as
we surinised, the Penitentiary matter. Tie
clause specifying the length of the session
shall be fifteen days is Of no import. The
Governors prerogatiycis to convene the SEES
sion. The Legislature can sit forty days il it
so desires, and legislare on any subject it
chooses. The specified subjects for legisla-
ton and the duration of the session, may in
dicate the wishes Of the Executive, notIdng
more. AS relates to the fees OF jurors we do
not think that point well taken. No provi-
sion of the new statutes we think can be
found in contlict.with the former one upon
this subject and if not thu former must stand.
Further than this, the subject has been re-
peatedly presented to and urged upon the
Legislature without securing any remedial
legislation. Perhaps the Legislature will
enact some good amendments to existing
laws, but the economy of cutting down the
fees Of a few county officers and then giving
all Montana to Railroad Ring that will
bleed it for. thirty years, looks like straining
at gnat and swallowing a camel. II would
seem to the people that the legislatures
have had ample time to perfect the ordinary

viding for biennial sessions of our Legisla-
ture passed before or after the general cleo
ton in 1871; On what effect that act would
have on the subject of the limitation OF

There is some Misrepresentation among

doubt about the expiration Of the term of
Councilmen. If the election law needs

certificate Of election should designate the
beginning and ending of the term tor which
a member is clected.-Gazette.
The act of Congress providing for, biennial
sessions passed preuinns to the general cleo
ton in 1871, and as we interpret the law the
old members should constitute the extra
session Of the Legislature. The members
elected at our last general election are not
qualified members of tbs Legislature, and
will not be until the regular assembly in
December, when they will be. sworn in as
any other duly elected officials.

Terrible Adventure of Miss Anna
Dickinson.

Miss Anna Dickinson has lad MANY en-
rious adventures in keeping her lecture APP

occurred III New Jersey afeW nights since. as
told by the Jersey City Journal. She was en-
gaged to lecture at the opera house at New

the evening traia of which Mr.. Crane was
the sgentlemanly CONDUCTOR She intended
70 alight at the Market street depot, but for
some unexplained reason she was taken to
South Broad street, some distance beyond.
when Mr. Cranes train stopped at the
station. says the Journal, he found the only
way he could get Miss Dickinson over the
swamp which lies between the tracks and the
street on which was a horse-car. was to take
her on his back and wade through the mud
and quagmire, in some places knee deep to
dry land. Miss d. saw there was no helm
for it, and, covering her face with her vail to
hlde her bushes put her arms about Mr.. C.'s
neck. which, doubtless, for him, was not an
altogether unpleasant operation, and left the
rest to fate. When half way through the
swamp OF dangers, the conductor called lust

ABOUT to start, to sshold on but tile Jehu
was hard of hearing, and SO the louder the
conductor yelled, the more energetically the
driver whipped into run his s.jaded steeds.''

suffice it to say that the conductor. yelled

the car heard tile cry, and that finally Miss
Dickinson and her poor faded steed were
lifted up to dry lands and happiness. ..An-
