THE c1litOr Of the MadisOnian give.

THE editor of the MaIisOnian gives
the COURIER gratuitOus notice in
the last issue of that weighty ~ Dem
0cratic organ, in reference to or in
fluence in this county as shown by the
vote on the Capital Law. We arc per
fectly wiling to take that as criterion
and weigh our influence in Gallatin
with that Of the Ma<lisonian in Madi
son, as shown by the late vote in that
county. The material Of the Madi.
sonian was purchased and that paper
established by few leading Demo
Gratis in that county in order to control
the election and secure to Democrats
the slOils Of office. That sheet has
been clamorous, red hot exponent Of
Democratic doctrines since its first
issue, its fulsomc cantings on the
"good old party occupying two-tllirds
Of its available space each week, to
the exclusion of good reading matter,
and what has been the result Has
it redeemed the county by an over
whelming victory to the Democracy !
The result of the late election shOwsnOt,
but an increased Republican majority.
1t has had no opposition in that coun-
ty, the Montanian occupying a strictly
neutral position in regard to politics,
and after almost year Of incessant
labor in the cause Of Democracy, the
arrogant editor OF that weak ilstitu-
ton il met with the humiliating fact
that his efforts have been a disadvan-
tage to his party; that the voters Of
Madison county have ignored the very
existence of their Demo ratio organ
BY an increased number going over to
the enemy. And what must be the
feeling Of those who event down into
their pockets to the extent of hun
drcds OF dollars to establish this organ,
which promised to sweep from the
political field all opposition to De,noc-
racy, and reward its benefactors with
fat Offices? The Madisonian left no
one in doubt as to its MISSION and
there is no doubt Of its ignominiOus
failure to accomplish it. Hence, we
would advise its editor, before twitting
its contemporaries with a lack Of infiu-
cnce, to examine into its own record
and see what kind Of y showing it can
make.

Madisonian.
Any one acquainted with the officers
Of the Peoples National Bank, and
Their acquaintance is not confined to as
limited space as the circulation OF the
scurrilous sheet giving birth to the
above mean and contemplate false
hood, will be surprised to read the
above in Montana paper. The in
telligence, liberality and business
qualifications Of the officers alluded to
are we'll known to the people of Mon
tana, and their liberal support Of the
Territorial press needs no further evil
dence than the appearance in the
Helena dailies and most of the week
lies in the Territory Of their advertise
ment largely displayed, and we ven
ture the assertion that they subscribe
for every paper in the Territory-ex-
cept the Madisonian-which is the
cause Of the animus displayed in the
above extract. The Madisonian long
since displayed its black mailing pro-
pensities, and We are not surprised at
this wanton and unjustifable attack
upon some of our most liberal and in.
telligcnt business men, who have done
more for the advancement of the ma.
tcrial interests of the Territory, and
who represent as much intelligence
and wealth as any like number of men.
The following are the gentlemen SO
basely d Indignantly alluded to by
the elitC of the MadisOnian: George
w. Fox, President Peoples National
Bank Of Helena; C. J. Lyster, Cashier;
Col. L. NJ. Black, Col. A. II. Beattie,

men of Bcccher's church are strongly
and enthusiastically on his side
whether he I've guilty or innocent. II
would he we'll for Bccchcr to follow
the example Of Brigham Young, and
adopt the whole tribe as wives. They
are evidently unfit for any other rela-
ton Of lite, and the free lovers Of Ply
mouth Church have too long clothed
thu ir lccl,crous persons with the garb
Of religion. The world is just getting
i glimpse Of the scenes behind the
curtains through the Tilton-Beecher
scandal, which is liable to disclose
wonderful things before the final SCENE
if reached. It is currently reported 10y
his friends that Deecllcr, if the case
goes against him, will destroy himself;
that he has declared privately, long
before this scandal, that he believed
suicide justifiable under certain cir
cumstanccs. They feel sure he would
not survive his good name; that honor
is far dearcr to him than life; that he
has never had the least fear Of death.
Many members of Plymouth church
are willing to forgive Deccllcr, even if
guilty, while others arc determined
that he shall quit the pulpit. If
Beecher thinks so much of his honor
he should never have jeoparlizcd it.
This is a virtual confession of his
friends that lie ia gniltv. but that is
no matter, SO long as it is not proven.
The main issue with them is, can the
charges be sustained by incontroverti-
ble proof. In which they acknowledge
the hypocracy and lewtlness Of their
pastor and the loathsome corruption
Ut their church. 1t is to he hoped
that this dirty, disagreeab:e business
will soon he sittcd to the bottom, even
if II. w. takes it into his head to cut
his earthly career short by dose Of
"cold pigeon" instead of following his
natural inclination and make harem
cf the buxom women Of his flock, who
have declared the charges against him
no sin, even if true, and expressed a
determination to stick to him through
thick and thin. It will furnish lively
drama for the theatrical boards, and
one that will draw largely. We have
no doubt some encrprising play writer
has already prepared the scenes which
have SO far transpired, and only
awaits the denosemeat,::w is likely
to be tragical, to announce its appear
ance before the American public.
