were not members. They left the park,
going towards the city, and soon afterwards

ingly beaten about the head, body and legs.
He lay insensible for sometime by the
side OF the road until Mr.. Chris. Xander, who
was passing, recognized him, and getting
assistance, took him to a street car and con-
veyed him TO his home, where he has been
lying in very critical condition. His as
sailants were arrested and, as stated above,
were brought to the Police Court for hear
ing this morning. but Mr.. Blout was unable
to appear against them. A certificate was
r, ceived by Judge Smell from DIR. A. Behre NJ.

for him TO appear. The defendants we're

"Our little contemporary at Fort
Benton is very much exercised
about the Yellowstone river. It IS
quite evident that it thinks Benton
will be left out in the cold when
the boats commence navigating the
Yellowstone, which will be early
next season. We feel sorry for
Benton, but the interests Of the en-
tire Territory cannot be made sub
seryient to the little town at the
head Of navigation on the Upper
Missouri. But Benton should not
despair, she will have the patron
ageof Whoop- Up. [Avant Courierl
!" Our little contemporary is very
much exercised over the continued
efforts of the Courier" to inveigle
the people of Bozeman into one of
the most ridiculous enterprises
that ever entered the imagination
of a wooden headed journalist. Is
the Courier really stupid enough
to think that the Yellowstone will
ever be navigated by steamboats,,
or is it only trying to get even with
those Of its patrons who have failed
to deliver their contributions of
-four and wood in lieu Of cash sub
scriptions? !?

President is empowered to appoint
a commissioner to receive the evi,

be represented BY counsel. We
suggest that this course be adopt
ed in this case as soon as possible,
and that Governor Potts and Dele.

this commission appointed and
thus prevent the sacrifice Of citi-

DUTIES OF OUR DELEGATE


If Major Maginnis is not posses
sed of an extremely philosophical
mind, emust have long since con
cluded that there are other posi-
tons in life more desirable than
that Of Montana's Delegate. From
every corner and by nearly every
journal Of the Territory reproaches,
slurs, and insinuations have been
beaped upon him, for alleged neg
lect of interests peculiar to certain
sections and often conflicting with
those Of the general public. Such
treatment can hardly inspire . pub
lie officer with unusual energy and
zeal or even assist him to a conscien-
ticus discharge ofhis duties; indeed,
there is reason to believe thatmuch
Of the corruption now SO prevalent
in official circles, is due to the fact
that whatever the merits Of our
legislators may be, they cannot es-
cape the prosecutions Of political
opponents or the SANDERS Of ig-
norant, thoughtless Or mercenary
journalists. There are but two
classes Of elected Or appointed Of
fcers who seem Indifferent TO pub
lie censure zone is tie unprincipled,
scheming politician, thewilling tool
Of real and would-be monopolists,
and the other Is the eoscientious,
devoted servant Of his country.
Our Delegate, it is to be hoped, be-
longs To the latter class, and there
fore will not be discouraged BY
abuse, Or the unreasonable demands
that have been made upon him.
Ifhe Ii all that an honest, upright
public officer should be, neither
threats nor aattery will sWerFe
him from the path Of duty, he viii
BE- free from political prejndlees
and his best efforts will be faithful

GOVERNOR POTTS. LETTER.

The correspondence which we
publish in another column, requires
but little comment. Governor Potts
intimates the desire Of the Amerl-
can citizens imprisoned at Fort
Garry for the appearance Of Ger.
tain witnesses on the 18th proxlmo
at the place Of trial. Among those
needed are the men who were un
der examination at Helena. Mr..
Trevanion Hale in acknowledging
the notification Of the Governor,
briefly explains the position Of the
parties whose evidence is required
by Vogle, Bell and Hughes, and
gives a brief summary Of the ma
ture Of their testimony. As Mr..
Hale says, Governor Potts must
perceive the necessity OF lmmedl-
ate steps being taken to stay the
trial. in order that the imprisoned
parties may not be denied the op-
portunity Of defending themselves.
On receipt of that communication
we presume. that the Governor will
not allow any delay to occur ere
the authorities at Washington are
in possession Of the material facts
contained therein. That these men
are innocent Of completely IN the
Cypress Hill fight, as charged by
the Canadian authorities, there
can be no doubt; and great deal
of future trouble may now be avoid.

telegraph in imparting the true
condition of their connection with
the Cypress Hill affair to the De
partment Of State. Even if these
men are convicted and sentenced
at Fort Garry in the absence Of the
evidence II question, the matter
will not be allowed to end at that.

tach the same to the reservation
for the Grow Indians, takes a very
sensible view of the relations which
should exist between localities in
regard to the general advancement
of the Territory. We commend the
following extract to the journals
Of the Territory, and indeed to the
Independent" itself, for reflection.
4Instead of endeavoring to ad=
vance the prosperity and develop
ment of the whole country, short
sighted men imagine that if they
can concentrate the trade in any
particular locality they will sub
serve a purpose in which selfish,
ness and greed are the prominent
characteristics. It is this spirit,
too evident in some parts Of the
Territory, which hinders that unit
ed and consistent effort essential
to put our country upon basis OF
social and material prosperity
In regard to local jealousies we
desire to say a word or two. By
more than one Journal we have
been taken to task for our persis-
tent efforts in behalf Of this section
Of Montana. It should be borne IN
mind that for years nearly every
county IN the Territory has had the
advantage Of being properly rep
resented through the columns of
their respective journals, while this
section, until the advent Of the
RECORD, has been disregarded and
its people basely slandered. No
epithet, however insulting, seemed
out Of place when applied to this
town and locality. Every thing
foreign to a sense Of true citizenship
or having an affinity to outlaWry
was Synonymous in application to
this section and to the enterprise
Of it's Inhabitants. But a light has
