Gen.. Niles Report ~ to its Charac'
ter. Need OF q Telegraph
Line

4 The occupation Of the Yellowstone val
. ley has divided the Indian country ir
twain, and, second to the subjugation o.
the Indians, the object of military occupa
ton has been attained in obtaining accurate
and valuable information regarding the
character Of the country and opening
the way to settlement. Although the In.
dams, when hostile, naturally seek the
most broken country for their retreat, and
one, in following them, would form an I'M
favorable impression of such districts OF
Montana, yet the percentage OF s. bad
lands" is by no means great in COMPARE
son to the vast area OF rich grazing, agri-
cultural and mineral lands in this Territory.
The natural grasses of Montana VIII give
more strength to horses and mules than
that found in any Territory between this
and the Rio Grande; and, judging from
the condition of the &c me which abounds.
and the excellence of the beef which has
been furnished the command during the
past twelve months, l am satisfied this
country will soon become one of the best
stock-growing regions on the continent.
think that the reports of the medical Of
ficers will show this climate as healthfill as
any that troops ever served in, and the ma
tives of this section. l think, are as viyor-
Gus and hardy race as can be found on
the globe.
The occupation of this district has given
protection to four hundred miles Of steam
boat navigation Of the Yellowstone river,
and thrown open to settlement, beside the
Yellowstone, the rich valleys Of the Big
Horn, Rosebud, Tongue, Powder and Lit
tie Missouri rivers.
The telegraph is a military necessity, and
I would earnestly recommend that these
posts be connected by military telegraph
with as little delay rs practicable. Rapid
and direct mail communication is needed
with the terminus Of the Northern Pacific
railroad at Bismarck. and the construction
of that great national enterprise should, in
my opinion, be encouraged by every legiti-
mate means. The military advantages to
be derived from its extension, though very
great. would be incompatible with the po-
litical and commercial interests developed
by opening this avenue of free communica-
ton between the Eastern States and the
settlements OF Montana and the Pacific |

TROOPS ORDERED FROM FORT
ELLIS.

Military orders and movements appeal
to be as inscrutible as the ways Of Provi
dence. and they are evidently altogether al
irresistible. We acknowledge our uttel
ignorance of military matters, consequent
ly we have but little to say on the subject
but il the recent order detailing the small
cavalry force. now at Fort Ellis, for duty
at Lemhi Agency, Idaho. for the coming
summer, is not an outrage (perhaps that is
too harsh IN expression), then we freely
acknowledge that we have no just concep-
ton OF right and justice, or the general fit
ness of things.
From the earliest settlement of the Terri
tory. Gallatin valley and the upper Yellow
stone have been not only the most ex-
posed portions of Montana, but really the
constant battle ground of the Territory for
the past fourteen years. Last year, it is
true, there appeared to be an unaccount-
able exception to this general rule, the
hostile Sioux combining their operations
principally to the lower country, and the
Nez Perces in their unprecedented march,
by fortnitous combination of events,
passing through the National Park. Thus,
the most thickly settled and faircst portion
Of Eastern Montana barely escaped, as by
.'tl,c skin Of its teetll,' what would have
been one of the most disastrous Indian
raids of the Great West.
Fort Ellis, with its small garrison-al-
ways inadequate-has afforded lis the only
protection we have had, and it is our only
guarantee Of safety, or feeling of security.
to-day. Situated as it is, in the very gate
way between the Indian country and the
settlements Of Eastern Mon

ready to operate in either direction, and
while their location is evidently one of the
best possible for protection and succor to

If disaiiection or hostilities on the part OF

CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS IN
CALIFORNIA.

The bill of Congressman Wigginton
postponing the election Of members to the
forty-sixth Congress from California from
November next until September, 1879, re-
ceived the signature Of the President.
There have been, says the Bulletin, some
ten changes altogether made in the date OF
holding Congressional elections in Califor-
mia. In the years of 1s49 and 1851, the
election was held in the odd years. In
1854 and 1856, the elections we're changed
to the even ones. But the three successive
elections were held in the odd years. So
the time oscillated backward and forward
until the passage Of the Revised Statutes OF
the United States in 1872, which required
all elections for members Of Congress
throughout the Union to be held on the
second Tuesday after the first Monday in
November in the even years. In 1874 q
concurrent resolution was passed by the
California Legislature requesting Congress
to postpone the election in that State that
year until the general State election in
1875. A special act was passed complying
with the request Of the State Legislature.
The next election for Congressman occurred
In November, 1876, at the time of the Pre-
idential election. If the special act intro
duced by Congressman Wigginton had not
become q law, California would have elect
cd Congressman in November next.

The official canvass shows that the en-
tire Non-Partisan ticket at large In Call
fornia has been elected by majorities
ranging from 2,50O to 6,00f. The conven-
yention will be composed Of 81 Non-Part-
sans, so workingmen, s Democrats n Z
Republicans-Total, 152. A working ma
iority Of the convention is ". 1t is thus
shown that the Non-Partisans will be able
10 control things, and have votes to spare.
In running over the list of delegates we
zee the name Of Judge Dav. Terry among
the successful candidates from San Joa-
quin county. He was elected on the Non
Partisan ticket, his majority being some
thing over 600. Col. Harry I. Thornton
vsa : candidate on the straight Democratic
ticket in San Francisco; or at least he was
nominated, and we never saw his with
drawal. II he stuck to the straights
he was defeated by about $4,000. Dan.
Gloster, another well-known former resi-
dent OF Nevada, was one Of the candidates
1t large on the workingmen's ticket, and,
Of course, went overheard along with the
rest Of his colleagues. The convention
will number some very able men, and We
have no doubt that an acceptable constitu'
ton will be framed.
