CHINAs OPIUM WAR.-China will
make vigorous war on opium. The
edicts against its cultivation have many
times come to little, as officials were
readily bribed by producers. But an
edict has more recently gone forth
which not only forbids tho culture of
the poppy after 1879, but all importa-
tions Of its products after 1880. Gov
ernors and leading generals are required
to submit plans which shall effectually
do away with the use of opium, and
certain pains and penalties Of the usual
Celestial type, in csss Of failure. are
affixed to their instructions. A large
hospital for the cure of opium eaters
has been established ut Hong Kong,
and other institutions Of the kind are
In contemplation. The ambassador 10

ployed in this country.

The Queen Of Shpba's Heir.

In Abyssinia has arisen King who
asserts that he is the descendant and
heir to the throne Of that Queen OF
Sheba who visited King Solomon. A
newspaper printed in Arabic at Con-
stantinople reports that this King has
effected politico-religious revolution
in Abyssinia, and is now governing the
dominions formerly ruled over by the
famous Queen of Bible story. After
the English victory in Abyssinia over
King Theodore the throne passed to
one who was crowned as King John.
But at the same time there existed an-
other ruler in the country--Menelik Ii.
who has since issued protest against
the title assumed by King John, and
John being indignant, marched against
him with his army. The Je.rish World.
which translates the story, has it that
the royal Menelik met the approaching
army with q great company OF priests.

on King John, and assured hlm that j

Henry 'Clay's Wife.

Mr.. George W. r .nck writes in The
Lexington transcript: What Ashland
would have been but for Mrs. Clay,
the good Lord only knows, for her
husband was at the capital of the nation
more than half his time. She attended
to everything, including five sons, who,
according to their old teacher. Amos
Kendall, were not the meekest of the
lambs that gambolled at Ashland.
She managed the farm with its crops
and live stock, her household affairs y
large family of children, and not few
negro servants. SO we'll as to assist
largely in keeping up Mr.. Clay's for.
tune, which was constantly subjected
to heavy drains. She often pulled the
finest of her vegetables with her own
hands, and sent them, with butter,
milk, and fruit regularly to market to
be sold. She often said: "My chill.
dren laugh at me for selling such
things, but they never object to the
money I get for them" Her treatment
of her slaves will be judged from her
custom of rewarding them at tho close
Of tho week in proportion to their in.
dustry and good conduct. Saturday

we'll posted about her husbands bust
ness and private affairs, and she was &c
"spunky" that Mr.. Clay always con-
suited her before fighting duel. The
wife of 1.-THE great commoner" cared
nothing for general and fashionable
society, and it was fortunate, undeI
the circumstances, that she did not.

idation of voters, which comes ~ to-
day, will probably pass with little
or no discussion. The Democrats
will attempt to secure amendments
but seem disposed not to insist or
them. Senator Thurman and per-
haps one southern Senator viii make
short speeches. Many bills on finan.
cial subjects have been presented, but
it becomes clearer every day that
none of them will even receive con-
sideration until after the fixed day
for resunption-January LIST.
Sec'y Sherman prepared and had
submitted to the House and Senate
the bills providing for the issue by
Government of certificates for SIC
and larger amounts, bearing interest
at 1865 per cent, and convertible with
in year into per cent bonds. This
will have the earnest support of Sec'y
Sherman and other members of the
Cabinet.
The interest of y esterday's session
was almost entirely confined TO the
speech of Senator Stanley Mathews in
support of the bills in aid ofthe Texas
& Pacific. Railroad. Mr.. Matthews
is pleasant speaker, had a Subject
juct now attracting attention through
out the country, and was attentively
listened to throughout. He claimed
that the contemplated aid would re-
suit in great and general benefit,
would not cost the Government a dol
lar, and was not a subsidy. The
ablest men in the Senate will be
heard on this subject. The friends
of measure the as very san guine,
and, apparently, with reason.
General Sherman and Quar!ermas-
ter General Meigs yesterday gave
their opinion at length on the sub
jcct of the Indian Bureau transfer,
General Meigs is an officer Of expert
ence and sense, and has the conf
dence of Congress to as great an ex-
tent, perhaps, as any other man liv-
ing. His opinion will have great
weight. He thinks the transfer will
be beneficial TO both races. General
Sherman favor5 it also, but General
Sherman is not man OF great influ
ence with Congress. The proposed
change is certainly growing in favor
especially since Secretary Schurz says
it is impossible for his Department to
take care of the indians without a
great deal more money and without
saddling upon the country a new and
Numerous class of office holders. 1t
is safe to predict that Government
money will not be spent az loosely
in the next few years as in the past,
and that the Secretary will soon be
laughed at who proposes to increase

The Presidents Message and His
Southern Policy,

On the first page of this paper will
be found the Presidents message to
Congress, which should be carefully
read and charitably considered.
There is nothing unusual about this
document. 1t is gotten up in the
style in which other messages have
been gotten up. 1t would attract at
tention more by it's exhibition of the
tickle and unstable disposition of the
author than by any other character
istic. The only portion that attracts
any considerable attention, is that
which refers to what is termed the
Southern Question, in regard to which
his excellency seems like one of his
illustrious predecessors, Though with
infinitely less credit to himself) to
have Swung entirely around the cir
cle." 1t will be remembered that in
November 1876, when the smoke of
the Presidential conflict had cleared
little, it was evident to any candid
observer that the electoral votes of a
majority of the States had been cast
in favor Of that great Statesman Sam
uel j. Tilden, but by fraud and VIC
lence the States of Florida, Louisiana
and South Carolina, were prevented
from giving their vote to the men Of
their choice by Federal interference
The emissaries of Mr.. Hayes fraudu-
lently gave these States to him, and
he was counted in by the Joint High
Commission by majority of one cleo
toral vote. 1t will be remembered
what storm of indignation arose
when it was apparent that the yoicc
of the people Of this great and hither
to free Republic, was suppressed by
fraud and violence. 1t then became
necessary for Mr.. Hayes and his as

AS our Territorial election, which
occurred on the 9th inst, has resulted
In Democratic vic Dry, you will
please select one of your thorough bred
game ROSTERS to flap his wings and
crow for Montana, the Queen of the
mountains. We have returned our
former delegate, Hon. Martin Magin-
mis-, to Congress, by a majority of
1000 out of vote of about 10000.
We have also carried the Legislative
Assembly by large majority, and
diveded the minor offices. The only
hard fight was for the law making
department. In this lJefferson) coun.
ty the two parties have been so nearly
divided that two years since the Re.
publicans elected the two members of
the House, which gave that party the
inside track, and the start in the late
canvass, which was backed up by their
organ in this county. The Republican
candidates expected all easy victory.
In this they were disappointed. Two
sons of the old Dominion passed them
under full heaiway, and will, on the
first of January next, take their seats
in the Legislative Assembly. One Of
the successful candidates in this coun-
ty was made the special object of the
Radical press, to defeat him, but
thanks to the cordial help at the ballot
box of a few Republicans, good and
true nei9hbors, who dared to act and
vote as their good judgment dictated,
their designs were thwarted. Our old
friend, Uncle Ben. p Mason, as he is
familiarity known throughout Eastern
Montana, was tour Of strength
in securing a Democratic majority for
our ticket. Many of your old citi>
zens will remember Ben. Mason, who,
when boy, used to go to school bare
footed over the rock and chestnut burs,
near White Day creek, in old Monon>
gala. But few sections of country are
blessed with better men than Ben. P.
Mason. He is an honor to his native
county. Wish she had few more
such sons to send us, to help build up
one of the best and most prosperous
portions of our country.
Many of our old residents have pre-
dicted an unusually hard winter.
Their judgment is based on the fact
that all our lofty mountains have been
receiving heavy falls of snow since
September, and all that has fallen
since that date remains where it fell,
while in the valleys we have had no
no snow.
Very truly yours,

great state of New York, the home OF
Mr.. Tildeh, and the other Eastern
States, where are the Bond holders,
the Bankers, the Brokers and the
money spectators generally, were
Quoted with the assurance of more
legislation in their favor. The States
of Florida, Louisiana and South Car
DINA were to be liberated from carpet
bag rule, if Mr.. Hayes should be al
lowed quietly to occupy the highest
office in the gift of the people Of the
United States, to which everybody
knew he had not been honestly elect
ed.
Mr.. Hayes thought, no doubt, by
this bargain he would purchase the
sufrages of the Southern people. He
and his friends boosted of the great
Hayes party that would spring up
at the South on account of his liber-
atty. They did not reeollect that
the South was paying a price for its
freedom. and that he was the base ty-
rant that was making a profit out Of
their liberties. The people of these
States when left to act as freemen
despised Mr.. Hayes and his false lib
erality, and gave another unanswera-
BILE proof of the fact that Louisiana
Florida and South Carolina are all
Democratic States and that Mr.. Til
den was their choice for President
and not his fraudulency, Mr.. Hayes.
President Hayes now complain that
the Southern people have not met his
expectations. He vents his petty
spite and spleen by reviving section
al hate and prejudice. For that pur-
pose he exagerates their faults but
closes his eyes to the fraudulent and
unfair dealing of his party both
North and South. He asks. under
the pretext of enforcing the laws, for
increased appropriations and an in
creased army to be placed at his dis
posal in order to establish Radical
tyranny and pave the way for anoth-
er Presidential steal in 1880.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON. d. c.,
December 20, 1878.

The House on yesterday, the sec
ond day of the session, passed two
appropriation bills-the Fertilization
bill amounting to 1915, 900, the same
as last year, and the West Point bill
amounting to about 100000. There
was no opposition and but little dis
custom. The Appropriation Commit
tee will have its bills ready as fast as
the House can take care OF them.
On the larger one there will of course
be debate, but everything so far indi-
Gates working rather than talk
ing session. Even Senator Blaine
buncombe resolution as to the intim-
