A BLUNDER:-There was, perhaps,
some singular oversight in the matter of
invitations to the opening celebration Of
the Blue Earth City Branch. The Sioux
City r. r. company kindly furnished
eight cars, with transportation for six
hundred persons. The cars went down
empty, only some thirty persons being
invited from Mankato. We hope our
Committee will not fall into the same
pit, but will extend broad and gener-
Gus invitation to the people of the great
Blue Earth Valley to come up and see
US and enjoy our hospitality, when we
shall celebrate the opening of that road

The retired list of the army now con-
tains only two vacancies, says the
Washington Herald: There were six
retirements lately of officers below the
grade of major and five of them were
lieutenants. This system of retiring
officers OF the lower grades stops the
flow of promotion which is essential to
the efficiency of the army, and is unjust
10 those, who by age and m%eritorious
service are entitled to an advance in
rank. In time of var the president
and commander-in-chief should be
able to require the service of any Off
GER, active or retired; but in time of
peace colonies and generals not fit for
the fatigues of field duty should be re-
tired, and chiefs of staff departments
should by the same rule give place to
their juniors.

Times points out the great value of a
new railroad in the excerpt printed be-

they will soon rave a railroad from

stirring up railroad builders. who have
been watching and waiting to see if the
Black Hills were really a permanent
gold-producing country, and becoming
satisfied on this score, they are now
stepping to the front again with big
talk and beautifully constructed rail-
roads-on paper. On every side we hear
of railroad movements looking towards
the Hills as the objective point. The
Union Pacific company have again
sprung their Montana scheme, and it is
stated by the Laramie Sentinel that the
shops of this company are actually get

Dakota and Southwestern Minnesota,
Northwestern Iowa, Western Nebraska,
and Northern Dakota, all have railroads
pointing this way, and every section is
bound to push its respective road
through first. The great difficulty,
however, with all these roads is, they
can't be built with chin capital and
newspaper blowing. 1t takes money;
hard cash, otherwise we would be crazy
with the clatter and racket of railroads

But the amount of freight and pas
senger traffic between the Hills and the
states is sufficient to warrant the con-
struction of at least a narrow-gauge
from Bismarck, Iankton, or the Union
Pacific. Mr.. Bramble, one of the lead
ing freighters into the hills, assures us
that he transported about 5000 tons
of freight during the season now at its

upon which to make an estimate, there
has been no less than $4,000 tons of
freight already shipped into the Hills
the present year. With cheaper rail
transportation this amount. no doubt,

TAX SUITS.


 Some weeks ago the District Attorney in- stituted suits against John G. Campbell and others to enforce the payment of their taxes. We have before us demurrer in one of the cases, viz: The Territory vs John G. Campbell, and as it causes many vital points against the collection of taxes we lay its points to our reader. It seems to us to strike at the very basis of the as. sessment, and if sustained will cut off a great amount of revenue.
 The first point made is: That the com plaint shows upon its face that levy oi three dollars on each one hundred dollars of taxable property, was made by the Board of Supervisors for the year 1878, in vio- lation of Section 1, Chapter B, Compiled Laws, 1877.
 By reference to this Section we see as | follows: The annual dd edLorem tax of 2t cents upon each $l00 value of taxable prop orty is hereby levied and directed to be col ! lected ana pald for Territorial purposes | upon the assessment value of all property ! in this Territory not by tkis act exempt ed from taxation. And upon the same prop erty the Board of Supervisors of each County is also authorized and empowered to levy and collect tor County purposes, such ad- ditional and special taxes not exceeding 1 S2 upon each one hundred dollars value oi taxable property as the laws of this Terri toIy may authorize or require them to levy and collect
 End. That the Assessment Roll was not delivered 10 the Clerk of the Board of Su- pervisors in said County as required by law, Section l9, Chapter B, Compiled Laws 3d. That the plaintiff has not capacity to sue and maintain this action, for that there ia no person authorized to use the name of the Territory of Arizona as plain- tiff, nor to sign pleadings and papers as Attorney for said Territory.
 These three points present important legal questions, now for the first time pre- sented to our Courts, and it ought to be definitely and speedily settled before the time prescribed by law for our Board to make the levy, which we relieve is some time in August next. If the 8 levy for County purposes is illegal, then we ought to know it as the Board has for several years made that amount the levy for County purposes. If District Attorney is not permitted to sue for the taxes, it is also a great fault in the law However these questions wll, We apprehend, be settlen soon in the Courts.

 The respectable element of the Gentle and Norman population are oppos- ed to this "bl-d of ill omen," this parssiti- cal yampyre, which has settled upon the vi- tals of St. Johns, and like that loathsome reptile, sucking up its very existence. They are firmly determined that this fellow shall neveFmore dictate to the honest vo- ters of this part of the Territorywhom they shall select to administer their pubic af- fairs.

RETURN OF THE SOLDIERS.

Capt. Thos. Byrne, who has had cOnsid- erabIe experience in dealing with Indians, and who is personally acquainted with every man and woman in the Wallapsi tribe, was sent 10 Besl's Springs, by Gen. Wilcox about two weeks since for the pur- pose of inquiring into some little misun- derstaading between the whites and the Indians, aud also to find our about the kill ing of several head of cattle belonging to the settlers near Mineral Park, returned on Friday, having accomplished the object of his mission satisfactorily.
 Lieutenant Kingsbury, of the Cavalry, was sent with 25 men for the purpose of supporting Capt Byrnes in making ar rests, etc. The unruly or disaffecIed Ia- diaus numbered three. They were desig- mated by the tribe as rhe persons who had committed the depredations on the cattle herds, and were, consequently, arrested and sent under guard to Camp Mohave. The soldiers have returned leaving the Wallapais pesseably inclined towards the whites, but in destitute condition so far as rations are concerned. These people should receive aid from the Government.

SAD ACCIDENT.

Supervisor J. L. Fisher received per mail yesterday, the sad and painful intelligence of the accidental drowning of his brother, William Fisher, on the 4th inst, at his home near Victoria, British Columbia. The circumstances of the drowing as we learn them from the Weekly Colonist, are as fol lows: MT Fisher was taken, three days be- fore his accidental drowning, with yio- lent attack of collie and congestion of the liver, winch undoubtedly left him in de ranged state of mind. He escaped from the house and went to the well where he was found throwing water over his heated aud crazed brain, evidently finding relief in the application of cold water. He was taken into the house where he remained until sometime during the night, when he agaln escaped and when found was float. ing, liieless corpse, in thc well, probably .-Gving lost his balance and iSllep := while in the act of dipping up water with whici to cool his heated and aching brain. Mir Fisher was a married man, leaving wife and child, together with father, mother brothers and sisters to mourn his sad anc sudden death. The news was a severe blow to his crcther in this village, who has the sympathy of a large number of friends.

MARROW GAUGE.

It is pretty we'll settled fact that mar row gauge railroad is to be run from Mari copa to Prescott. IL will undoubtedly take in Phenix, from which place the "knowing onesn seem to think the road will come by way ot Wickenburg, and thence on through Peoples, Kirkland and Skull valleys. We understand that eastern capitalists will take the matter in hand and commence the erec- ton of this much needed road at once. So soon as Prescott is connected with the out side world, by raIl, we may expect to see business revive, and new state of affairs reign. When capitalists can jump aboard the iron horse and be hurled over the con- tinent with ease and luxury to the very doors of our mines, then we may look for that class of people among us. If we have not the wster wherewiih to work vast re- duction works here at home, the mineral perforated ores can cheaply be carried away to the Salt River valley, where an abund- ance of water and wood abounds. Our machinery and supplies can be landed at much less figure than at present our wool, hides, lumber and other products can be shipped, eheaply and quickly to market. Prescott, with terminus wherein would be built round houses, machine shops, depots, would step to the frost and become the livliest city east of San Francisco, and her people would awake in a few months ana find themselves surrounded by wealth and everything else pleasant.

CHAUNCEY BARBOUR, in his farewell to
the patrons of the Muscular, pays the fol-
lowing tribute to Montana and her people !:
For the much kindness that has been ex-
tended to the retiring editor, and the many
expressions of appreciation for the work he
has performed, his heartfelt thanks are
herein recorded. The many people outside
of Missoula county, who have given their
moral and material support to newspaper
effort in this part of Montana, will ever be
borne in grateful remembrance. The belief
has never been entertained that only a
straight lot of ffrst-class people could, by
any Of the. accidents of migration, by found
to have settled IN any particular locality !;
but it is confidently believed that a home
never can be found among a better people.
The salubrity and beauty of the climate,
ease of living, purse air. good water, and
the manifold attractions of the country,
producing healthfulness and content, unite
in producing the highest type of character.
Chronic misanthropy and petty meannesses
spring from chronic ailments, which do not
exist in Montana. The imputed faults,
even, of Montana people are their greatest
charm the inattention to the details of
mere money-getting-a heritage from the
days of earlier abundance-has fixed a habit
of improvidence; but we instinctively like
the improvident better than the grasping
human. *
