r. R.-The point of the trouble this road
has fallen into is that, when in Europe
some months since, Gen. Malone got the
clamorous European creditors to stand off
by the promise that the $4,000,00O unissued
bonds of the company intended for the
building of the Kentucky connection should
got be used, but should be deposited in a
L.sadon bank. On returning to America
he found the bonds named only amounted
to $3, SOC, 900, and notified them Of the fact.
They have now moved for a Receiver. The
affairs Of the company seemed to be con-
fused by this movement. Tile treasurer
has ordered that NO more money be paid

The President :assA tEse Post
Traders.

Especial dispatch to the Baltimore ''Gazette.'']
The testimony Of G. K. Peck, of the firm
of Durfee Il Peck, traders on the Upper
Missouri, taken in connection with that
given by Orville Grant, max es very ugly
case against the President. It will be re-
collected that Orville Grant testified that
he had received letters from the President
telling him that there would be vacancies
in the Indian Territory posts on the Up
per Missouri, and that, in accordance with
this information, he applied to the Secre-
tary Of the Interior for the posts and OBJ
tanned them. Now, Mr.. Peck, testifies
that his firm held all these posts at the
time the President wrote these letters to
Orville Grant, and just before the Presi-
dents brother obtained them they were re-
about it, and the Secretary of the Interior
told him they would have to get out, that
the President had ordered it. Mr.. Peck
says he wanted to know if there were any
charges against them, and the Secretary
replied In the negative, and that thereupon
he protested against them being removed;
whereupon Secretary Delano told him that
it was d peremptory order from the Presi-
dent to take their heads off. Mr.. Peck
testified also that about the time Orville
Grant got these posts the President, by
proclamation, extending the Great Sioux
reservation. thereby greatly enhancing the
value of the posts. One of the posts which
they were removed from was Fort Sill, a
military post. A man named Athey, who
had been a clerk in G. W. Babcock's office
surveyor Generals office of Kansas), got
the appointment of post-trader at Fort
Sully. He had no means to go into the
business, and could not buy out Dulfee &
Peck, anG accepted an offer from that firm
to attend 20 the business for them at a
salary Of 81, 500 a year till he could find
hackers. This contract was made with
the consent of Babcock, who exacted $3.50
a quarter for giving his consent. The
money was to be sent to his residence, in
Vermont, or to the care of his brother,
George o. E. Babcock, Executive Man
sion, Washington. They sent the money
($2,250), and finally Athey raised the
money and bought them out.

Mr.. Massey referred to the embarrass-

House on any subject connected with re-

with such subjects in the manner we some
times do. He referred to the respect that
had been expressed by all who had spoken
for religion, and told an anecdote, the NOR
al of which was that no beast but a bear
would mock at religion. We could not,
in consequence Of some confusion, catch

HON. A. H. II. STUART.
Mr.. Stuart said he was not member Of
the Finance Committee, by which this pro-
vision was adopted, but it met his hearty
approval, and not because of any hostility
to religion. Far from it. No man had a
higher appreciation of the Christian reli-
gion, and he Lad always considered it both
a duty and I. privilege to contribute liber-
ally to churches. Instead of regarding
this tax as hostile to religion, he thought
its tendency was to strengthen and purify
it. He thought that whatever tended to
separate Chruch and State was in aid of
true religion. The church should be en-
tirey disconnected from government and
left to the voluntary support of the people.
The argument, on the other side seemed to
look to a support of religion by govern
ment. If a bill were introduced making
appropriations for certain churches they
would be secuted from the hall, and yet,
by exempting churches, you are doing the
very same thing. There is no difference
between stopping the money at the treasu-
~ door and drawing it out of the treasury
after it gets there. This tax is the first
step in the right direction. He referred to
the Baptists of Massachusetts as inaugu-
rating this movement. 1t was a great mis-
take to suppose such a thing 10. be hostile
to religion. On the contrary, it was aux
Hilary to it. The men who erect these fine
edifoes are not the men who would shrink
from taxation. Exemption is the first
step towards the establishment of a reli-
gion. He spoke of the danger that would
threaten us if in the progress Of time there
should be marked preponderance of one
denomination. We must profit by the les
sons of history and experience. The only
security against ecclesiastical abuses is in
a multiplicity of churches.
THE BAPTIsTs GOING TO DROWN PEOPLE
Mr.. Cecil agreed fully with the gentle
nan from Augusta. He had as much re-
spect for religion and religionists as any
man, but he thought that religious luxury
should be taxed as well as secular luxury.
Steeples should be taxed as well as tobacco
or liquor, He also thought that Church
and State should be kept apart. The mo-
ment one sect gets the power you had just
as we'll cross your arms and submit to

that their lives are all plain sailing. If any
one should think they do not work, let him
90 out among them as we do. 1t is a nice
thing, to hear a man, who never sees the sun
rise from one years end to the other, talk of
farmers not working. Few Of them but
breakfast at sunrise, and are in the field at
work long before the c~onnting-house man is
up, and in the evening, when the business
hours of the latter are over and he is driving
in his carriage for health, the farmer is still
in the field. The contrast is too odious for
comparison. We would not hold these
things up to public gaze, but all the world
knows OF their truth, and we are continually
being tainted OF all sides with the short
comings of those whose interest we repre-
sent. The farmers, as a general rule, have
the hardest lot of any class, yet they are the
most independent. The miner and the me-
chanic labors ten hours and then their days
work is done, yet they labor harder during
the time employed, which makes something
ola stand-of with the greater number of
hours the farmer is compelled to put in.
But we fail to see where the business man,
who never did q day's manual labor in his
life, has a right to complain. Farmers, who
are compelled to work all their lives to pro-
the comforts of life for their households.
do not like to be told they are lazy by a
"middleman" whose only work is what
mental exertion it requires to extort from
them their hard earnings.

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

@
Tuesday, August 8th, we babe adieu to
the valley of high, green, rolling hills and
broad, smooth, natural meadows, and
turned to the south across the mountains via
the trail to Packers ranch, on the Deer
Lodge, opposite the mouth of Flint creek,
happy in the thought that though our stay
had been short, we would long be remem-
bered by these good people, as the HUs-
BANDMAN will henceforth make its regular
weekly visit to every household on the val
ley Except two, which are soon to be de-
~serted-the inmates intending to go to the
Black Hills,) to instruct, edify and amuse
their inmates.
The distance over the trail is about tlftecu
miles, is good for a horseman and has been
Travelled Il few times by light wagons. The
country is a continued succession of low
hills until it nears the Deer Lodge, when it
rises in a sharp ridge and then rapidly des-
cends to the river. From the summit of
this ridge we had a splendid view. The
Deer Lodge, winding. through green,
meadoWy banks, swept at our feet, While
Flint Creek valley, with its level farms and
miles of pasture hill stretched out far be-
yond.
The Deer Lodge valley here is only from
one to two miles in width, but is one con-
tinuous chain of farms and hay ranches for
q distance of eight or ten miles. Prominent
among the settlers in this vicinity, are
Messrs. George Lyon, John Edwards,
David Burt, Willis Spear, William II. Bayts,
Benz. Shortley, Richard NoWls, Benton
Heyyer, NJ. J. Richardson, and William
Wallace.
MIR. Edwards own the Packer ranch and
is farming and dairying to a considerable
extent. Mr.. Burt has sold his ranch here
thinks of removing his herd to Eastern
Mr.. Lyons, next below, by
whom we were Hospitality entertained, is
dairying. Mr.. T.. also makes a success of
hogs. He is one of the few we lfaye
met III our travels who agrees with us as to
the production of pork being profitable in
Montana.
Wednesday we passed up the north bank
OF the river, calling upon the several farm
crs, most Of whom we found in good spirits.

md returned down the south side of the
TO New Chicago. This little village
consists Of two hotels, a store, saloon, black
smith-shop, schoolhouse and Grange hall,
aud is the metropolis of Flint Creek valley.
This valley is fourteen miles long, and
one to two miles in width. Prominent
among the farmers here are Messrs. Taylor,
DingNell, GruWell, Thomas, Hanna and
Ward. The grasshoppers have dealt rather
severely with these gentlemen, still they
have something left and are not at all dis
couraged.
