THERE has been a great deal said in the
last few weeks ia regard to the Territorial
Seal. A number of Territorial papers have
been very INSCRIPTIONS in their remarks
about our Chief Executive. Some of our
journals have actually accused Governor
Potts of forgery. Now, so much of this
buncombe is entirely uncalled for, and is
liable to create a bad impression abroad.
we are in favor encouraging immigration,
and such inuendoes as these heaped upon
the heads OF those highest in authority, by
the leading journals of the Territory, will
have the effect to create the impression
abroad that Montana is inhabited by a dis
reputable class, and deter the better portion
Of society from coming hitherto seek homes.
The Naw North Vest of the 9th, makes the
following plain explanatory statement:
The history of the existence Of a dual seal
is this. The Bannack Legislature passed a
joint resolution authorizing n seal, the size,
engraving, motto, ETC., but made no proVis-
ion for obtaining it. One was, however,
procured. and came in to possession of Gov
ernor Potts when he became Executive.
There is no law prescribing who shall be
custodian of the seal. Secretary Galloway
arrived subsequently and the seal was used
by the Governor and Secretary, ut will, I'M
til last March. The Governor and Secreta-
ny prior to this time had become antagonis-
tic, and on Governor Potts sending to Sec
rotary Galloway for the seal to use OH pa
pers the latter refused to let him have it.
About the same time Secretary Galloway
refused to afix the seal to the commission
of Warden Fish without the payment Of So
fees, which Mr.. Fish refused to pay. The
question being referred to District Attorney
Mayhem he sustained the refusal of Mr..
Fish in a written opinion now on file in the
Executive Office. The Governor being re-
quircd by the Organic Law to commission
officers thus found his duties barred by the
action of the Secretary. On the 18th of
February preceding the Legislature had
passed an act funding the debt Of Montana
and providing for a new issue o bonds which
$ shall be sealed and countersigned by the
Governor OF said Territory" and issued Jul
~ !, 1876. Here again was the necessity
for the Governor using the seal. Under
these circumstances, there being no law de-
filming the custodianship of the seal, the Sec
rotary refusing him the use of the seal In his
possession, and the law and Organic Act re-
qliring him to af1ix it to certain instru--
ments-Goyernor Potts sent a copy of the
resolution to an engraver in Cincinnati, had
Ii seal made in conformity thereto, and has
used III since ON all instruments requiring
his authorization. The bill for this seal
was sent to the Treasury Department of the
United States and was there audited, allow
ed and paid. 1t conforms in all essential re-
1uirements to the Resolution, neither it nor
the old seal being limited in the engraving
to the letter of the resolution. The seal now
used by the Governor has q sunrise addi-
tional. while on the Secretary's a microscope

ing gravel preparatory to leaving for

REV. w. w. ANDERSON has assumed con-
troll Of the Bozeman Aoant Courier. The
first number of the paper under the new
management was received this week. Lit
is enlarged and materially improved. Mr..
Anderson is a gentleman of ability, and has
means at his command to make the Courier
4 first-class Journal. We with pleasure well
come the Reverend brother to the fraternity.
AT this writing it is impossible to tell
what the action Of the Legislature on the
railroad question will be. We therefore re-
train from an further CONNER upon the
matter until next week. at which time we
Hope to be able to place such bill or bills
before our readers with q fair and impartial
review of their merits. if they have any, or
dement's as the case may be. What we
have said has had but little weight perhaps
with our law-makers. but in the contest be-
fore the people, we have reason to believe
it will be different.
THERE Is certainly no probability of the
people OF Montana voting u subsidy to any
railroad, unless there is a revision of the
revenue law. The chief interest TO be bene-
fitted by d railroad, is our quartz interest,
and we are fully convinced that the people
will never vote for u road until this interest
is made TO bear its portion of the burden.
Now THIS is not idle talk the taxpayers OF
Montana are certainly not so blind to there
own welfare rs to build a road for an in
ierest that is not even willing to bear its
portion OF Tic enr.er.

, Law Gould &ACo. seven or eight hundred
thousand dollars extra for building a road,
over half Of which is outside of the Terri
tory. But the proceedings of the House
upon this north and south bill is so unusual
and strange, and the views of its members
who are railroad men. SO different, tiial
even the wisest are at a loss to explain the
why's. mysteries, and wherefores and to
one whose mission is (lile mine) to keep
outside of the circle, see all he can OF the
world. and say of it what his independent
nen NAV choose for the right, it is indeed q
puzzle too.
Both houses are crowded with business.
and many Of the members are regrettine
that they passed so many days in the begin
ming of the session in idleness. There are
two important bills which, alone, would
consume the remainder of the session to
consider properly-vlz the Probate law ano
the civil practice act. These bills, however.
will be passed without reading. Aside from
these. there are very many bills which have
some merit. and are under way but cannot
be acted upon.
Brainard's consolidation bill has been
amended in the House SO as to include
Meagher, Beaverhead, Choteau, Missoula
and Jefferson counties. The bill provides
that the sheriff shall perform the duties OF
assessor the county clerk, the duties OF
probate Judge, and the treasurer the duties
of county superintendent of schools, and is

The bill has passed the House, and will
reach the Council Monday, when it will
doubtless become a law.
The insane asylum bill has also passed
both houses and will probably be approved
by the Governor. The bill provides for the
appointment Of three commissioners by the
Governor and their confirmation by the
Council. They are to hold office for two.
four and six years respectively. The COM
mission is required, within sixty days from
the approval of the act, to select q suitable
location, and as soon thereafter as possible
to cause suitable buildings to be erected,
which are to be of brick or stone. The
commission are to have general supervision
Of the asylum, to employ physicians, en-
ployees, etc. The bill appropriates $50, 00(
for the purchase of ground, building, fur
nishing and paying the expenses for two
years.
The militia bill died suddenly in the Coun.
cil-room the other day, and the aspirants
for the offices which it was to have created
are quite indignant.
A bill concerning the Territorial library
was vetoed by the Governor, and to-day the
House consumed the whole day in passing
it over the veto. Considerable oratory was
displayed, and the desired end was accom-.
plished, but the Council will sustain the
Governor. WILL.

HAYES "A TRIMMER.

Outspoken Republicans are just now
opening their batteries on the Fraud
ulent President, whom few short
month ago they took such pains to seat
against the will of the majority. The
Carson Appeal leads the attack in
Nevada. 1t says the Radical mind
bankers for radical things, and no milk
and cider compromises satisfy it's long
iags. 1t quotes from the I" Living
ISSUE" tina great organ of the Prohi-
bitionists, to show that Hayes was
always a trimmer, and that he has
gained all of his success in politics by
systematic and clever trimming. He
drinks water with one side of his goodish
mouth and that which inebriates with
the other. He was never nominated
for any important Office except as a
compromise, having so acted the part
of the mutual friend when counter in
terests were at war as to be always
Available. He is to-day neither a
Democrat nor Republican. He is try
ing to be both. He is neither for the
North nor for the South. He is on the
fence that separates them. He is
neither saint nor a sinner. He goes
to church in the morning and has Bob
Ingersol. the unbeliever, at his table
in the evening.
These are few of the left handed
encomiums bestowed upon Hayes by
Captain Mighes of the Appeal, Speaker
of the last Assembly of Nevada, and as
strict and straight Republican as can
be found in the Union. They may be
overdone, yet from what the public
know of Hayes they seem to be deserved
by that statesman. Grant said last
winter when the result of the Presi-
dental election was in doubt, that no
man worthy of the Office of President
would accept the position without
clear title. Hayes accepted it without
such title, and, in the estimation of
the Appeal. be is not worthy of it, and
Grant was right
