The great difficulty in this day and age
is the finding of positive men-men who
stand firmly on their own feet, and tell
you what they do and do not think, with
out prevarication The man who mods
his head and says Eyes, yes, to every
statement you make is found everywhere,
and, we are extremely sorry to state, is
remarkably popalar-is patted onIthe
back and called mice little fellow" !"
and yet inwardly despised. The positive
man, however, slaps you in the face with
an impudent contradiction, and rouses
all your combativeness at once. You
style him "conceited." an "old bloat, y
and other choice and affecting epithets,
but respect himin spite of yourself, all
the time, and are sure to come to him in
time of need for counsel and support

Way down South, when a cub, our

old darkey pressman named Sam" The
forms were always placedTon the press
and made ready for him and SO, with q
well-trained negroroller-boy, the working
off of the paper progressed satisfactorily.
But it happened one day that Sam who
could not reads was thrown entirely on
his own resources. He put the. form to
press and pulled sheet; looked at it in
tently; turned it. round and turned it
over; something was the matter; he
looked again, felt the tympan, held the
sheet up to the light, and looking over his

would neither ,return it to the United

would oblige his constituents very much

B0ss TWEED SENTENCED.

\
The trial Of Tweed in Now York
has ended, and he is now in the Tombs
for twelve years. The following &C,
count selected from the dispatches is
the result of the proceedings in the
case:
The several counts ON which Tweed
was found guilty were grouped and
fifty-one distinct sentences imposed
his term twelve years Imprisonment u
the county jail and q fine OF S!2,75O.
TWeed's counsel then said he would
move for a bill of exceptions.
Judge Davis said the session of the
court would be prolonged to give the
counsel time for due preparation. he
then ordered that such OF the counsel
for the defense who subscribed to a
paper presented him at the opening OF
the trial be in court on Monday morn
ing next, that lie might inquire into
their action.
Tweed, who received the sentence
calmly, was then removed by Sheriff
Brennan, attended by astrong force Of
deputys.
Tweed is now sixty-six years Of age
Curiously enough the name " VIM. NJ,
Tweed is already inscribed on the
marble slab Of the main gateway oil
the Jail, where it was placed years
ago, when the Board of Supervisors
OF which he was then a member
erected the building. When Tweed
reached the Sheriff,s Office he looked
terribly crestfallen and sank down in
chair.
Every EFFORT made throughout the
evening and until midnight by the
counsel of Tweed to obtain a stay OF
proceedings was without avail. JUS
tice Pratt and Ingraham refused to
interfere. The Sheriff then made ar
rangemcnts to relieve himself Of the
unnecessary responsibility of the safe
custody OF his prisoner, and at ten
o'clock Sunday morning Tweed was
taken to the Tombs and the gates
were closed behind him.

the result of interruptions Of the telegraphic
communication between Havanaand Santa

among which is the imposibility that either

these reasons the government will not insist

The composition Of the Assembly

The composition Of the Assembly
IS over an average of former ones,
both in intellect and real substance.
They are interested in the business
and advancement Of the Territory,
and, in our opinion, desire to legislate
for the real coed. We trust that every
member will feel the gravity of the
times in which they are called on to
legisiate, aud put their shoulder to the
wheel IN good earnest, so that when
they return their constituents will ap-
plaud their work.
We feel certain thatthis Legislature
will see the necessity of changing the
time of the meeting of that body, so
it can come together earlier after they
are elected. As the law now stands
it does not meet till nearly eighteen
months after the election. They
should assemble the first of January
succeeding the first Monday in Au-
gust at which they are elected. In
almost every State and Territory in
the Union the Legislature meets in
the winter after it is chosen, and we
think the same course should be pur-
sued in Montana. Then the represent
tatives are fresh from the people, and
better qualified to represent the exact
views Of tie people.
We shall endeavor to keep our
readers posted in regard to the pro-
ceedings Of the approaching Legisla-
turc when it assemblies.

THE LEGISLATURE.

This body meets on the first Mon
day in January next, and it is expect
eel that the session viii be very In
teresting one.
The time has arrived in the history
Of the Territory that steps should be
taken to adopt measures that will have
an important bearing on our future.
We shall not oppose any proper legis-
lation by which the material interests
will lie promoted, but members should
carefully weigh all propositions pre-
scented, and not be carried away by
the seducti0ns and Establishments OF
an interested lobby. Their constitu-
ents will be careful observers of what
may be done, and hold those to whom
they have entrusted their interests to
a strict accountability We do not
mean that members should not do their
duty as their best judgments may die
tate. Whatever in tAeiT opinion will
do the Territory good let them sup
port RarlesslE. We believe it will
be in the power Of the present Legis,
latnre to advance very materially the
prosperity Of Montana, 1t they act
wisely.
