A STRANGE SroEY.-W. B. Moore, who
was some time since discharged from the
office of Solicitor OF the Treasury w ilsoa,
publishes letter in the New York Herald,
in which he alleges that in February solici-
tor Wilson asked him to obtain list OF the
Texas delegates to the Cincinnati Conven.
ton, which he did through the assistance OF
Senator Hamilton, from that State. A few
days later he met one Reinhdrt, a Texas
man, who said he had been appointed on the
secret service force, at the same time show
ing Moore copy Of the list OF delegates
which he had prepared at the request OF
Bluiord Wilson, and informing Moore that
he had private instructions from Wilson to
proceed to Texas and canvass the delegates
in the interest of Bristow. Moore tried TO
get Reinhart retained for q few days TO assist
in searching a steamer suspected OF snug,
Cling, but his request was not granted, ana
Reinhart proceeded to Texas, wearing the
cloak OF revenue agent to cover his secret
political mission in the interest OF BristoW.
This is a strange story, and, unsupported by
any proof, seems extremely improbable. 'ef

THE NOBLE RED MAN.

The news of Clusters defeat was received
here with establishment. The visitors gen.
orally supposed that it was the duty OF the
noble red man Of the present day TO draw
his rations, trade fer whiskey, and offer a
field for the benevolence Of Belknap's ap-
pointees. They had no idea that he would
gobble up half q regiment Of cavalry in
such an unceremonious manner.
Custer is rememb ered as brave and dash
ing young officer, With long golden locks
and red neck-tie.
Alas, that it was his fate so to perish.
Our visitors, who eat regularly and have
no great aches, are much given to spccula-
ton, and they imagine that as q Herald cor
respondent was killed br the Indians it will
become the duty of Jim Gordon Bennett, il
not too much in love with Polo, to pursue
the war on his own hook, inasmuch as the
Government seems not to appreciate fully
the demands OF the situation. 49,.
It is suggested by number OF eN-military
chieftains, who surround the table as l
write, that about four hundred Herald cor
respondents might be organized and pre-
cipitated upon the hostile tribes. Such an
invasion would carry terror to the breasts
OF the warriors and make them fly to regions
where the interviewers would cease to
trouble and where their scalps would be at
rest.

ded or mile of railroad built in Montana,
by the credit Of Montana granted to the COM
pany.
1t would go first to benefit people outside,
and next to construct a railroad in another
Territory, and the only advantage to Mon
tana would be, if the narrow gauge road was
constructed two hundred miles by its aid, that
its terminus would be that much nearer, and
so much teaming would be saved An ad-
vantage, of course, common to any railroad
approaching Montana, but in the case of the
Utah Northern with the disadvantage Of not
being in Montana.
ded to Montana, it may run by the Snake
river divide, six thousand nine hunllred feet
above the sea, or by the head waters of the
Madison near Hcnry's lake, where the divide
is seven thousand one hundred feet. In either
event, those who are familiar with the coun-
try::say that there will be serious trouble from
the snow, unless costly snow sheds are erect
Ell. 4 narrow gauge railroad is not so easily
kept open as q broad gauge, in a snowy re-
giOn, for two reasons-the narrOWless Of
the cuts, which causes them to fill more cas-
lily and makes them harder TO clear, and the
lightness Of the narrow gauge engines and
snow ploughs, which gives them less power
1t is well known that the route of the North
ern Pacific between Bismarck and the Rocky
Mountains is very little exposed to trouble
from snow
The only argument which has been pub
lic]y advanced in favor Of the Utah North
ern narrow gauge route, as against that of
the Northern Pacific, is that it might posi-
bly, be brought within striking distance for
Montana somewhat sooner. Tie evidence
that this is likely to be the case has not yet
appeared. This isanother of the points for the
people Of Montana to look into carefully.
