ILLOGICAL PARTlSAESHIP. The message
by Governor kemper, OF Virginia, vetoing
the Petersburg charter bill, (Which gave the
coutrol and appointment OF all city officials
TO board to be appointed by the circuit
Judge of the city, caused quite an animated
debate in the Virginia Senale, in which the
bill originated. Upon the conclusion of this
debate, as has been already mentioned, the
veto was sustained, the question upon the
passage of the charter being decided in the
negative-ayes Ii, nays %. sixteen of the
NAYS being conservatives. This settled the
matter, and the bill does not 60 to the
House. The veto was ably defended by
Mr.. Cochran, of Augusta county, and MIR.
Thomas, of Fairfax county, one of the
oldest aud ablest members of the Virginia
Senate, who, while he did not consider the
charter bill unconstitutional, regarded it as
an invasion of the right Of the people to
local self-government. Mr. Cochran stated
that Governor Kemper had said to him that
he would not stop to discuss the constitu-
tional question involved in the bill, but that
he would 20 further, and say that it was in
contraventon of the bill of rights, which is
| higher than the Constitution, and of the
liberties of the people. In view of Governor
| Kemper's past record and character, it is rea.
sonable to conclude that he would readily
give the people of Petersburg any relief which
be considered legitimate and right. 1t will
| be remembered that the New York Republi.
can commissioners of 1856, into whose bands
it was intended to put the municipal gov
eminent of that city, were denounced with
great severity and justice by Democrats all
over the country. Itseems somewhat strange
to see Governor Kemper condemned by
Conservatives in Virginia for enforcing what
| have heretofore been considered Democratic
principles. 1t is also singular that while the
Virginia press is warmly praising Mr. Fill
more for his self-sacritcing devotion to duty
in signing the fugitive slave bill, that Gov
ernor Kempcr should be burnt in eftigy in
| Petersburg for like subordination of eX
| pediency to principle. Is moral courage
only to lie admired when it operates 70 ONES
own advantage? p Baltimore Sun.

that whiskey and tobacco bring more dis

Thirteen Hundred 1Niles Of Steam Navigation

From sam1 Wilkeson's unpublished notes ofMontana.
THE WATER COURSES.
Montana has within her own
boundaries 1860 miles of rivers nav
lgable by steam, and on which
steamboats, are now running. OF
streams in which the speckled trout
rise to the fly, | really believe she
has over one hundred thousand

The junction Of the Madison, Gal
latin and Jefferson rivers
FORMS THE MISSOURI.
A little below this junction com
mences the famed valley Of the Mis-
souri,. For nearly a straight stretch
Of sixty miles, it is from six to ten
miles III width. On this land 1l3aa
bushels of barley per acre, have been
raised, and there was not drop of
Yankee blood in the fellows that
sowed or gathered the crop.
The Water-poWer OF the
FALLS OF THE MISSOURI
suggest a manufacturing city of

more than a police station. 1 is
eighteen miles long; at the lowest
and main fall the river is 800 yards
wide, and the fall eighty feet. For
five miles up the river is q continu-
Gus rapid, including three cascades,
from three to four feet high. These
cascades are formed by solid lodges
of rock crossing the whole width of
the river. A little further up, the
entire flow of the Missouri
is caught by a wall of rock as
straight from bank to bank as rifle
barrel. In an even, smooth sheet, a
quarter of a mile wide, without a
nick or break, the river curves and
lazily makes a NJ agnificent plunge of
fifty perpendicular feet. Half a mile
higher up is another cascade, a
quarter of a mile wide from bank to
bank, and falling six feet straight
and fourteen feet IN all. Two and a
half miles farther up is another cas-
cade of twenty-six feet fall, the river
there being 1900 feet wide. Above
this is vet another fall FIVE feet high.

Ashland, Bayfield, and Superior
there will ina short time follow lines
of railway from the southwest, the
west and northwest These poin is
are to-day about equi-distant from
the great wheat-growing centre of
the Northwest as Milwaukee and
Chicago. In FIVE years hence, they
will each be more central, as every
one in this western country knows
the great wheat fields of the coun-
try are yearly advancing further
westward and Asrthward With
the system Of railways naturally be-
longing and inevitably soon to be
built, centeriug abont the west end
Of Lake Superior, the farmer from
Northern Iowa and Wisconsin, from
all of Minnesota, will then have not
only Milwaukee and Chicago for a
market for his grain and other pro-
duce, but will have three additional
rival markets to ship to, each with
its elevators and grain vessels,
reached by shorter and cheaper
route to him, and as near by water
to New York, Boston or any foreign
ports as milwaukee, or Chicago.
Thus the Governor by not des-
troying the credit of this most valu-
able road to the State, allows it, by
complying with his explicit duty, to
proceed steadily on to completion to
the west end Of Lake Superior, de-
veloplng one-third of the State hith-
erto almost AS much unknown as
Alaska; showing a wise statesman
ship and interest in his whole state,
and encouraging rather than des-
troying this pioneer road which will
in less than five years, bring about
the entire state of affairs as above
set forth.
With three rival ports for grain
shipment to the East, with their II
val railways leading into the West,
there will not be 50 much necessity
for legislation about the regulating
Of freights OH railways, or fixing uhe
maximum rate of charges for the
Milwaukee elevators.
We have undertaken to show the
legality, the good policy and the
anti naonopoly if you please, of the
Governors action in this matter.
Now why all this hue and cry by
a few of the Radical press; this
won't do to make a party question
of; it is entirely too thin; the disap-
pointed aspirant for Gubernatorial
honors, and his cohorts, will have to
wait for some real error in Cover
nor Taylor's administration, before
they can with any show for success,
attack him.

GOV. ia YLOR GRANTING CERTIF
ICATE'S TO THE WISCONSIN
z Z 4 q 4
CENTRAL RAILROAD.


Being some 400 miles or more by
rail from our State capital, we are
consequently late in our approval OF
this most praise worthy act of JUS
tice
Being also one of the termini OF
this r. II. at the extreme northwest
end of the grant as we'll as Of the
State, we feel that we have a right
to be heard.
We hold that Gov. Taylor in Civ
ing certificates to this r. r. Co..
stating the fact which no one in the
whole State pretends to deny, per
formed not only an act Of simple
justice, but did nothing more nor
less than the law under which he
acted requires he should do. His
legally constituted adviser (the At
torney GeneraD together with many
Of the ablest lawyers in the State
were carefully consulted before act
ing in this matter. With one ac-
cord they advised him to sign the
certificates. This it seems to us
settles the question as to the legali-
ty of his action, beyond a doubt.
This point being settled, let us see
for d moment as to its policy.
A few small towns, each having
other X. r. facilities near at hand,
located along the south end of this
land grant road, propose to have
this whole through line stopped,
perhaps ultimately destroyed, until
they get every inch of road built
they are now or may hereafter be
entitled to. Like a certain Jew we
read of, they want the last ounce OF
flesh even tho it cost the life OF the
victim itself
We ask these people to look for a
moment at our situation. Place
yourselves here if possible at the
north end of this land grant. Have
we no rights that are to be consid-
ered-or are we bound to wait until
every other point in the State has
all the r. r. facilities they may
choose to acquire. We have wait
