Cornelius Hedges Territorial saperintend-
ent OF Public Instruction has beenl in town
for the last week, and the result OF his pres:
tnce here is several amendments to the
school law. As Mr.. Hedges is man Of SUI
perior ability. who has devoted his attention
to this subject, am safe in saying that ms
amendments will proveto be goou; any
way, he has requested to have his shlary
reduced $500per annnh.
The Penitelfiary Act. introduced by Hon.
q. L. wager. Of Madison county, with some
slight modification has passed the ounell
and will pass the House. The ACT - rather
OF the experimental order, nothing 81 the
kind being needed heretofore.
The Hurtly House Bill, to prohibit the es-
tablshment, or continuance OF Dancing Sa-
looms or Hurdy Gurdy Houses has passed.
and hereafter that great curse Of frontier lie
is to be known in Montana as thing OF the
past.

wants to be relieved of $500 from the Terri
torial Treasury, for money claimed to have
been overpaidb By him to District Attorney
Blake as Receiver for the Territory in the
suits against the late Treasurer. / hardly
think Barley will get TINT $500 or any sum,
aud may on the contrary, be made to pay
something to the Territory. A determined
fight was made IN the Council to carry the
bill, but il was eventually cut down to some
thing over 500 and in that way was recon-
mended by Committee of the Whole for
passage. Should the bill pass both Houses.
the Governor will not sign 1t. 80 there is not
much danger at this session, but the attempt
will be repeated next winter.
The long looked for Subsidy Railroad
Bill y has been brought out at last, and to
judge from the various comments that have
heard upon it, do not think it will pass, at
least, not until it is modified somewhtt.
Gallatin county Is asked to subscribe the sum
of $500, 900 to the enterprise, but not tc pay
any portion of tlle amount until the road
strikes the county, then to.pay a portion, and
the remainder when the road is completed
through the county. The other provisions
are to the effect that the stock taken by the
counties sha not be assessable, and proyis-
ion for vote, etc. / enclose the law. 9.
The bill to amend the election law, by al
lowing persons who have declared their in
tention to become citizens to vote las become
y law. It was vetoed by the Governor, aud
passed both Houses over his veto. tsiE6
In justice to Gov. Potts, ! will state that
his reason for not signing the bill was be.
cause of tlle careiess way IN which it was
drawn, and not that he did not favor the
measure, for in his letter, he distinctly stated
that the objects sought to be attained by the
bill were right and just. sis@ S3la7
Some Of the members of the Legislature,
more especially in the House, have Il la bit d
drawing up bills very carclessly, ana iii i
way that will tend to leave tile statutes In 4
worse fix at the close.of the session than they
were before, and to guard against this evil
the Governor has stated that he will sign nc
bill unless it is clear and explicit, and he is
| in the right. 2t''3' .t8 Lta# e
