A New Editor.

John J. Healy, who has been writ
ing series of interesting frontier
sketches for the Record, is announced
as the future local editor and business
manager of our Benton contemporary.
Mr.. Healy is well and favorably known
in Montana, and it is with pleasure
that we welcome him to the newspaper
fraternity.--Mtssoulian.
In 1861 & 62 Mr.. Healy was we'll
and favorably known in Florence. He
washed the first pan of dirt in Florence
basin, taken from Pionee. gulch. He
was allowed an extra claim as the dis
coverer of the camp. He mined there
in the Fall of 1861 and part Of the
Summer of 1862. Then he with others
went up, Salmon river prospecting, as
far as Fort Lemhi They got out of
provisions aud came near starving.
They were rescued by party from
Colorado who came that route for the
Florence mines. Healy get his
strength, came back via Elk City to
Florence, sold loutihis claim in Pioneer
and With abost $4,000 started across
the mountains to headwaters Of Missouri
then went down the Missouri to St
Louis, thence to New York city, his
former home. He afterwards returned
to near Fort Benton with John and
VIM. Kennedy, old Florence boys
Since that time !Iealy has visited the
Saskatchewan country and in fact near
ly all the country for hundreds of miles
around Fort Benton. He is apushine
fellow, with good strong nerves, and ,
close observer Of matters in frontier lft
and while We knew him on this side, al
honorable as they make men. Hi
personal knowledge of the country ant
his fidelity, aptly qualities him to be
valuable acquisition to the newspape
fraternity, and We predict his success

North Pacific Railroad.

A gentlemen lately. from Washington
City says that Col. Gray, attorney for the
North Pacific Railway company, admitted
that the company never expected to build
into Oregon. That the company had a
ten year agreement with the Oregon Steam
Navigation company, to carry ALL thei.
freight on Snake river. That from Snake
river eastward they would build as speed
lily as possible. . 81,
That at expiration Of their agrec.
meut with the Oregon Steam Navigation
company, they expected to be able and
continue their road from Snake river tc
the Sound where they would, build a city
of their own. That they cared nothing
about Oregon. Time will reveal the trutt
of these matters which are now so muct
hcfogged by politicians and hostile parties

why General Witcher Left Us.

General Witcher came all the way
from Virginia to accept the Office Of
U. s. Marshal for Idaho, run with the
Federal officials and the Statesman
clique two Or three days, aud took his
departure for the east saying he would
not accept the Office. Such a move
was unexpected, and we think looks
bad for the people of Idaho. We are
no prophet, but will predict that Mr..
Brayman will be removed and Mr.,
Witcher return as Governor, and he
and the Statesman ring be as thick

ing with so large sums, the national
debt was, on the first of March 1860.

mounted to $2,0SS. $4,000. The de.
crease had been s436 ,6s2, 900 in eight
years, and the average yearly reduction
had been S54, 5S5, ,OO0--.stll throwing
off the odd hundreds of dollars for oon.
vcnieuco. 10 other words, VIC have
been paying the enormous Expenses of
the governmen ent, paying the interest on
this great debt and at the same time
paying off the debt at the rate of SOL
5S4 900 year. Meantime the rate of
interest has been lowered on a part of
the debt, and the total amount of inter
est to be paid has been still further di.
minished by the constant reduction of
the principal. Il ought TO be easy,
therefore, to pay off the debt at still
faster rate hereafter than heretofore,
but it is startling fact that without
any increase whatever in the annual re.
duction, and simply by paying in each
year as mnshsas we have been paving.
