The policy of the COURIER in the mat

been 90 severely criticised, and the 80
called suicidal tendency of Bozeman and
the Gallatin to see salvation via that policy
have been SO ridiculed, that croakers are

A NEW PARTY.

The following are the principal planks
OF the new party proposed by the New
York Herald, the Courier Journal and
other Northern, Southern ana Eastern
journals:
First-A national currency founded on
bi-metallic standard. and sufficient fos
the wants of . healthy trade.
Second-A system of internal improve.

development OF the countrys resources.
Third--A tariff sufficient to keep en-

already in operation, and put in operation
such new industries - will tend to develop
the natural wealth of tho country, and
create balance Of trade in our favor.

Our friend assures US that tie Governor

A THRILLING EPISODE IN WESTERN
NEWSPAPER OFF1CE.-We don't wish to say
much about il, but even skirmiSh with an
editor must be written up. After reading
our article last week DR.. BentlF came and
interviewed u.s.. He brought few friends
along to see him eat lis up, with bis hands
tied behind hun. He did not like the read
ing OF our last article, and we don't blame
him, for there were few sayings in 1t
which were little severe. But he locked
arms with Us, and we waltZed around the
room with him to the tune OF high words,
and to the infinite delight OF the spectators.
His hands were not tied very tight, either.
There were numerous chairs and other
furniture in the room, which were speedily
demolished and put out Of the way. The
Doctor got frantic and kicked over two
gallon jug OF ink, which, Of course. we
didn't like, because it was new ink, and,
besides, il spoiled the looks OF the floor. We
took the Doctor for sponge, and mopped
the ink up as quickly as possible. That's
what made the Doctor mad. He then
showed us over a chair and we rolled around
for while, and then we began to feel like
fight, and we dent doubt but what we
would have had quarrel very soon, but
the Doctor suddenly concluded he didn't
care whether we took back what we said or
not, and as there was not any prospect OF
our taking it back right of, he concluded to
quit Just as we had got ready to- begin.
After the whole affair was over we felt
sorry that it had begun, but as it was none
of our lnstigating we could not help it,
