THE PRINTING BILL.

The Ninth Legislative Assem-
bly, is in full blast. The party lines
are strictly drawn, judging from
the vote on the Printing Bill. This
bill was championed through by the
Democratic party and was persist
emily opposed by the Republicans.
Word Of Madison" was the leader
Of the Democratic side, while San
ders Of Lewis and Clarke led the
minority. The trainers Of the bill
claim that 1t was introduced as a
measure Of retrenchment. It was
opposed as being the means of in
ereasing the expense. of public
printing and being IN contravention
to the Organic Act Of this Terri.

mentary" repartee Of an original
nature crept in, which, to say the
least, does not add to the credit of.
those who displayed It. We are

A correspondent states that the
Governors Message receives fay-
orable comment from the Helena
folks with the exception Of the
lengthy extracts about the Yellow
stone, and particularly the reprint
Of kt Fred Grants report" This
is q very sensible view, for while
the Message is undoubtedly a cred
liable document the reprints were
entirely unnecessary, for more rae-
sons than we have space to enumer-
ate.

RETRE EN- CHMENT.

Economy seems to be the order
of the day. Governor Potts sound
ed the keynote Of retrenchment as
fellows eThe rapid increase o1
the local indebtedness makes il
necessary for the Legislative As
sembly to adopt some legislation
that will stop It's increase and place
it in the course of liquidation. Our
sources of revenue are too limited
to allow SO rapid an increase Of To-
cal Indebtedness
We shall heartily endorse any
practicable plan through which the
Indebtedness Of this county will be
lessened and its increase checked.
We have instances, however, where
legislation which was beneficial in
other counties when sought to be
applied to this county proved worse
than useless. We need go no fur
ther than the revenue laws to show
that there must be distinct and
consideration in legislat-<
ing for such counties as Choteau.
The Boards Of Commissioners are
authorized, in fact they are compel
led, to divide their counties into
not less than three nor more than
seven assessment districts. Now
while such limit, either the maxi
mum or minimum, may correspond
With the population or formation
# Lewis. and Clarke. Deer Lodge, |
or other counties, Choteau under
iuch law could not obtain an as
that would do justice to
he tax payers in general.
The reduction Of the fees Of dis
riot and county officers, the con
olidation Of certain Offices, and the
Of officials, IS proposed
5 q means Of retrenchment. In
earching into the causes Of the in
reased Indebtedness Of this county,
be principal one appears to be the
expenses incurred in prosecuting
riminal cases which require the
otion Of the Grand Jury The re-
uction Of the fees Of district off
7rs would undoubtedly lessen the
zpense Of such suits, but as long
We remain IN our present judicial
lstrict the fees Of witnesses, which |
e really the principal items n
II criminal suits, will remain the :

.oportionately high. So that while

fcers would have is effect II les j

Rev. DIR. BR0wN's SERMON ON SATURDAY.
Rev. Dr. Brown, of indiana, on Saturday
morning delivered very eloquent and ac-
ceptable sermon to large congregation, at
the Eleventh-Streets synagogue. Many men,
bers of Christian churches were present.
All OF them were well pleased. While de-
voutly religious, the Doctor stands upon q
broad and liberal platform, although the
platform was of Jewish timbers. HIS SUBJ
ject was s'The Ethics OF Religion" based
upon Jacobs dream, and the thought that
ladders are erected by the side Of each NOR
tai to send up his angels. The Doctor said
there was mistake apparently in the Bible
saving, "and the angels Of heaven assembled
and descended" He rather thought. it
should be .sdescended and ascended";
for the angels must first come down
ere they can go up. DR.. Brown
maintained that no angel ever asceaded to
heaven unless it was begotten by some
noble man or woman on earth, for the Tai
mud says, stEvery good deed performed by
man becomes an angel" These angels are
so easily created. A smile is an angel Of af-
lection; a sigh an angel of sympathy. A
tear is an angel of consolation. Give me
smile, and it will make me happy, &c. The
sermon lasted over an hour, and was re-
plete with striking thoughts, beautiful Illus
trations, and strong arguments.
The Doctor. lectured last "Wednesday, on
the Talmud. IN accordance with call OF
some Of our best citizens, it was to be re:
peated yesterday Sunday evening for the
benefit of the Savannah sufferers.
