Our Benton contemporary seems to be con-
siderably exercised over our recent article
upon the navigation of the Yellowstone
river. 1t denounces our statements as either
''stupidity"or "effrontery.' talks about alb
surdities, and then, not satisfied, grows af-
tectionate, and calls us pet names. This is
nice; we like pet names. It,reminds MS Of
days of yore, days "now. gone: John, for
eyer.''
But all this does not settle the question of
the navigation of the Yellowstone. If our
propositions were so "absurd'.' and sstupid,''
why does the Record man get himself so
much worked up over it, and continue to
''bore the public" about a matter which is
already %effectually settled? The truth is, it
fears that our predictions in regard to the
Yellowstone claiming it's portion OF the
Of Montana for the future. will
prove true, fears that the new point-Coul-
son-may detract from the Importance of
Benton. The Record is a Benton journal,
and is devoted to its interests, and to, that
alone, while, upon the other hand, the HUs.
OANDMAN Is d lGlllLOIldl pdpeI& ucSOUcu
alike to the interests of every section, and is
interested in having. every avenue of trade
opened. Had we been governed by the
same sectional motives that characterizes
Our cotem., we would have denounced the
navigation of the Missouri above the mouth
of the Muscleshell, and made a plea,tor that
point as the head of reliable navigation, and
should it prove true, as our ncighbor as
serts, that the coming summer will be such
alight water season that no steamer will lie
able to pass fifty miles above the mouth of
the Yellowstone, it is equally safe to proph-
ecy that no boat will be able to carry a car
go past the mouth of the Muscleshell on the
Missouri. We, however, look tor a good
stage Of water in all our rivers, and expect
boats to reach both Coulson and Benton
without difficulty. 1t may be. disagreeable
TO the Record to admit that the Yellowstone
can be successfully navigated, but we can
not see what it hopes to gain by its attacks
Op us, and its broad assertions, when they
are at such wide variance with the report of
the government engineering corps and the
operations OF the past season.

All the main approaches to Monroe
are closely guarded, night and day, by
armed guards to prevent the entrance
within the city limits of any person
coming from an infected district, or
any person who is unable to satis-
factoriiy account for his or her absolute
freedom from contact with the dreaded
scourge. We have endeavored, but
Intellectually, to obtain the names oil
those who are doing this duty for tho
people. We hope to be more success
full next week. The quarantine is very
strict, and properly SO, but there is nc
difRcrlty in entering the city limits, by
u compliance with the quarantine reg

The Presidents Southern Policy,

CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-The Journals
Washington special says, the Republican
publishes to-day what purports to be an
interview with President Hayes, indicating
q new departure on the part of the admin
istra,ion regarding southern affairs, or
rather an abandonment of the policy pur-
sued towards the south since President
Hayes has occupied the executive chair;
this alleged interview is a sensation
in political circles and attracts very
general attention, but very many republi-
cans are not disposed to credit it's authen-
ticity, Your correspondent has taken
steps to ascertain its truthfulness and has
high authority for saying that while it is
not probable that any such interference
occurred the supposed interview has
probably given correctly the
general views of the administrator +.
1t is quite certain that the president has
never admitted the southern policy was a
failure; he has Lever regarded ii as an
experiment; it was performance of what
he regarded as plain duty, and the result
Of it has been, 10 bis opinion, better for
the country than any other course would
| have been
