WASHINGTON, March 20.-A letter from Mr..
Nolan, agent of the interior department in
Montana to the secretary of the interior says,
notwithstanding the statements that have been
forwarded from that territory in the interest of
parties who have taken timber from public
lands, cord wood is now sold at less rates than
over before in the history of the territory. Not
single interest. he writes, has suffered by tho
depredations, excepting the interests of few
rich saw mill men, who have partly suspended
operations, and it cannot bc successfully con-
tradicted that since speculations in cord wood
have met with . check by the imposition of 4
tax of one dollar per cord, the smaller dealers
have kept up the supplies with wood obtained
from dry and fallen timber which has hereto
fore been allowed to rot on tho ground, all
persons hitherto disdaining to use what was
proved to be q very useful material.

ing Defeat.
From the New York Sum-.
CoNcoRD, N. H., March l6.-Now that the
election is over, the Democrats are beginning
to inquire into the cause for their defeat, al
though to many the Democratic vote was bet
ter than was anticipated. The cause can be
summed up in two words-bargain and sale.
Men who, years ago, fought for principle until
the last vote was cast, men who gave strength
nna stability p. .le, to n4.ste1 the party y hdt de-
sides in the canvass. The Repub-
licans fought not for principle, but to keep
themselves in Office and hold the power Of dig
tributing patronage. Their leaders are sharp
shrewd men, whokn how to fix things for
their own advantage. The Democrats had
it slip away, owing to their cowardice and inn
becility. The Democrats had every thing to
gain and the Republicans had everything TO
lose, yet the former gained next to nothing.
The Republicans to hold what they have, re-
sorted to the basest bargains and the most un-
scrupulous methods to carry themselves
through.
One of the most level-headed men in the
State, man who twelve years ago was one
OF the foremost in the fray, but who, becoming
disgusted with the low trickery, has retired
from active participation in politics, yet still
mas KnOWledge OF WnaG 10 going on behind the
scenes said to me: Everybody knows what
an organization the Republicans have in this
State. It is patronage that keeps them to-
gether, and they are on tho lookout al
the time. All the principle they
have is to keep in power. To
such an extent is this carried that government
officials in the southern part of the State have
entered into bargains to elect Democratic
member of Congress. He could be of service
to them. But when one of the parties to the
bargain was nominated for State Senator, they
stood on their dignity, and spouted about prin.
ciples and the like. He could not be Of service
to them. That man had TO seek cover afte,
having spent small fortune.
The fact is, Democrat cannot
be elected unless he buys half of his own party
Ten dollars was paid to Democrats to vote
the entire ticket, and from 90 to $5 to vote fo,
Senator alone. One family that knows

marked by IN able and manly defense of
the diplomatic service Of the country.
! One thing must be admitted even in the
presence of the failure of self-government,
or in it's success. The fraud who stole the
Presidency was scarcely q greater blot upon
good government, than the miserable farce
of our foreign diplomatic service abroad.
It has always been an exceedingly low COM
edy, but since the accession Of his Cesarian
Majesty Grant, comedy is no name for it.
It has blended all the pretensions Of igno-
rance with the aping manners of vulgarity,
the laughing stock abroad, and the Pitiful
contempt at home. Abolish the service al
together; far better than to be disgraced be-
fore all nations. Send men of education
and culture abroad, recognize the dignity OF
their position, or abolish the whole service
and establish another Chinese exclusion.
