selected three reservations-one in East Utah, OF
$4,000 acres capable OF cultivation one in South

Origin Of the indie pc ndent Powers OF the

One OF General Sickles last oficial acts was to

ity under which the captains general OF Cuba have
had the absolute right to treat persons and prop
erty there as II 1t were a territory in state OF
siege, and also to suspend the execution Of CON-
mand or instruction emanating from the nome
government. The extraordinary powers granted
by Ferdinand VII are the prerOgatives that have
made the captains general OF Cuba Independent OF

fatal to the rights and interests of citizens Of

Decisions by the Mexican and United

The United states and Mexican Commission has
pose OF all the cases on the docket by the expra.
ton OF It's extended term. Within the last two
months the Commissioners have decided at least
100 cases. including an adverse decision In the case
OF Daniel E. wopdhouse against Mexico, known as
the Tehuantepec claim, In which the petit
toner stated the amount OF damages at
over $500, 600, 900. The claim OF Mexico for
$27, 00o 900 on account OF damages from Indian in
cursions Is now IN the hands Of Sir Edward Thorn
ton, the umpire, the American and Mexican Com
missioners being divided in opinion. Mexico
claims that under the treaty OF Guadalupe Hi
dalgo the United states pledged themselves to for
chilly restrain Indian incursions into her
territory. and that whenever such raids
could not be prevented the Indians should
be punished by our government and '.satisfaction
for the same exacted." The United states, on the
contrary, insist that our government could not
promise to do for Mexico more than 1t was re.
CURED to do for its own citizens, and, therefore,
no damages could be claimed. Should, as is re-
ported, the umpire decide against Mexico in the
pending case. Mexico will present the same prn-

CALIFORNIA WHEAT CROP.

It is estimated by those who hav,
taken the trouble to investigate til,
matter, that California will be able tt
export this year at least sixteen million
centals Of wheat, after deducting suffi
Gent for home consumption. This is
nearly double the amount that was
exported last year, and the question
Of getting ships enough to carry it to
market is now being discussed by the
San Francisco papers. Referring to
this subject, the Call says:
1.-THE feet that will be necessary to
carry away the immense su:nlusage of
this years wheat crop will itself he
immense. Taking the data furnished
by the experience of the last couple of
years, our average cargo is about o.
OOO centals. This would render neces-
sary 5000 vessels, manned BY nearly
10000 sailors. The necessary repairs
to these would be sufficient to keep
700 chip joincrs, ETC., whose trade Of
itself ought to sustain q very consider
able addition to tho population of the
;ity. As to the state in which the
crop will be exported, we may expect
very considerable quantity, perhaps
anger than the preceding year, to be

The people in voting tor removing
the capital to Helena do not contem
plate its permanent location, as tn.
editor of the Madisonian is endeavor
ing to make some of his readers be
lieve. This is intended by our "pro
found" neighbor for effect, but it is as
Transparent as a mosquitoe bar. A
proper fitness of things, and a view to
convenience and accommodation, also
taking into consideration the pride of
the people in having the capital To-
Gated in live business-like place,
where energy and enterprise meet the
eye of the stranger on every hand,
make the removal of the capital to
Helena one Of the necessities of the
times, and whenever the necessity
arises to remove it from Helena to a
more desirable place it will be done.
Just as it was removed from Bannack
10 Virginia City. Will the editor of
the Madisonian tell us why the capital
was removed from Bannack to Vir-
yinia! If he can answer the question
satisfactorily he will have no difficulty
n ascertaining the reason the people
AVE for taking it to Helena.
Bozeman avant courier. [volume] (Bozeman, Mont.) 1872-1882, 1874-07-10

To HEAR these Sol0ns talk one
might think the only expense attend
ing the removal Of the capital would
be simply loading the several officials
with their sundry effects on to one of
Helena's-of course none other would
haallOwed the hOnOr-f:.st bull trains,
and transport it. This is one of the
arguments used by the advocates Of
Helena. It is very thin. The expense
of transportation is but drop in the
bucket as compared with that of fit
ting up Offices for the various depart
ments.-Nadisonian.
"Fitting up the offices for the rdr;;-
Gus departments That's q sumner!
The Madisonian must be in the last
ditch to bring it forward. Just step
in when you 60 to Virginia and see
how tho "rarioGs" departments are
rugged and calculate the cost. Your
estimate will be about 800, and why
cannot the same furnituren he used
in Helena, Mr.. Madisonian? We are
satisfied that much better quarters can
be obtained in Helena for the same
amount Of meney that is paid for the
cob-webbed, dingy apartments in Vir-
ginia, and as whatever Afxingsn ap.
ertaining to said departments al
ready belong to the Government they
can be transported to the future capi-
tai. The "fitting upn part is all in
the imagination of the editor Of the
Madisorian. This argument of cx-
pense to remove the seat of govern,
ment is about rs feasible as any put
forward by the Virginia papers, and
it amounts to nothing. The expense
connected with removing the capital
will only amount to few hundred
dollars, which the people of Helena
have generously offered to pay, hence
the hue and cry in that direction is
squelched, and one of the props of our
Virginia contemporaries il knocked
from under the falling capital town.

town because we think, like Micawber
that something may turn up. We con
fidently believe the people have deter
mined otherwise. We do not think
the development Of the Jefferson mines
will have any bearing on the question
Those who locate there will find il
more to their convenience to have the
capital at Helena than at Virginia.
The argument Of our correspondent
in regard to Helena purchasing oul
produce is too childish to notice. He
knows that Helena has since the set.
Element of this valley purchased our
surplus produce at the going rate,
when it could not be sold elsewhere,
aud furnished our people with neces-
sary supplies, when they could not be
purchased elsewhere, at much lower
rates than was charged for the same
at any other point in the Territory.
He may call her tho "Territory of
Helena the "United Kingdom Of
Helena" or any other name he may
choose, but the fact is, take Helena
out of the Territory and we would be
poor indeed; there would not be much
left. The derisive manner in which
the enemies of Helena talk about her
is supremely ridiculous and is received
by all intelligent men with the con-
tempt such expressions merit. No
people have exhibited more energy
and enterprise; no people are more
generous and hospitable. In the direst
extremities they have displayed won
lerful pluck and energy, and in the
oalmy days Of prosperity their purses
'elax at the call Of every public enter.
Prise and their hospitality is un-
pounded.

THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES

We understand that most all Of the
gentlemen nominated by the Demo
cratic County Convention, on Satur.
day last, have declined to run. Our
Democratic friends put in the field a
good ticket. Messrs. Howell and
Campbell are popular men and would
have made as good, if not better,
race than any two men they could
have selected, and Mr.. Dawes for AS
lessor, Whose name we did not give
last week in the list Of candidatesp pub
lished) is also q clever gentleman
Whateger availability may have been
attached to these gentlemen, had they
lave made the race we believe they
would Lave been defeated, on account
Of being party nominees. The people
Of Galiatin county have determined to
do away With party nominations, and
vote for and elect men of the people,
who are not restrained and controlled
by party. They arc tired Of party
slaves and party slavery. Its pernici-
GUS effects have corrupted our public
officials and stinted our prosperity,
and the people will have no more Of
it. Possibly our friends who were
nominated by the late Democratic
Conversion haze arrived at such q con-
clusion themselves, and will add their
influence to the Hground swell that
is sweeping over thescountry in favor
Of popular rights, aud which will re-
claim this Territory ct the coming Au-
gust election.

THE INDEPENDENT MOVE
MENT.

The Independent movement Il
spreading, aud its success at the com
ing election VIC regard .os . foregon'
conclusion. The Missoulian in thu
course of an article on the politica
outlook, says:
It is safe to predict, however, that
the ensuing canvass will be conducted
less on strictly party grounds and
more on what is believed to be for the
welfare Of the Territory than any pre-
ceding one. An Independent move
ment has gotten fully nnder way IN
Lewis and Clarke, and Gallatin county
having get one leg over the traces last
year, is ready to kick out almost any
time.
In another place the Missoulian has
this to say in regard to our articles on
/" Montana Politics.
The Avant Courier for some time
past has been engaged in publishing. a
series of articles in favor of indepen
dent political action. The Territorial
press in noticing these articles, has
seemed to discover motive m them
to prepare the way for Major Bruce's
for the Delegateship. What
ever may be the motive, there is much
in these articles that commedds itself
to thinking men. The independent
and anti-monopolist movements that
have, SO successfully swept the West
nrn States in late elections may fur
nish valuable lessons even for this
Territory, and teach us that parties
must not stand in the way of public
Welfare.

is this the case in this county, but the
