PIatenic Love.


A real friendship with a charming woman
to whom they must not make unlawful love,
with whom they are On itheir good behavior
both in name and morals, and who, with
out being pedantic or advanced can talk to
them of things beyond the last new novel or
the last court ball, is the best antiseptic that
men can have. Society IN e1celis is one
thing, but the intimacy of the domestic circle
is another; and these friendly cups of tea
round the sofa might exchange for many
other things by no means so improving. A
man who loses this privilege for vanity or
jealousy neither knows what he throws away
nor was worthy of what he had. And really
it is hard on the best kind of women to sup
pose that if she loves her husband and looks
after her children, she has, therefore, no
desire for or right to any interest or else that
if she has an interest in any one beyond her
immediate family she is, therefore, dis
satisfied with her life and only looking for a
lover to supplement its Deficiencies. For
ourselves, we think differently. Without
believing in transcendentalism or super
human Platonism, we do hold to the posi-
bility of a real friendship between the sexes
where the woman is wholly pure and the
man moderately wise London Truth.

A Gratuitous Advertisements.

1t was the American privilege of DR.. +. M.
Turnbull to depart from Butte whenever he
felt SO disposed, and his choice of route and
destination under ordinary circumstances
was certainly nobody's particular business.
The only thing required of him before leav.
ing was that he should pay his bills, and it is
on account of his failure SO to do that we
tender him as a token of the public regard,
this brief advertisement. If it happen to
catch his eagle eye whel he reaches Califor-
MIA, it may %perchance serve to remind him
that he owes the MINER office the somewhat
Insignificant sum Of fifteen dollars, together
with the cost of his local notice which is two
dollars and a half more. In the hurry of
departure the medical gentleman also omitted
to iiquidate other small bills in various parts
of Butte besides a few not so small.

The Swindling Boom.

The recent surreptitious departure from
Butte OF a number of unprincipled men, a
physician being prominent among the rest,
who have left the town without squaring up
their accounts with our business men, renders
imperative the necessity of enforcing some
law which will act as a future safeguard of
the public interest. Unless some measures
are taken to suppress this species of robbery,
honest men will be made to suffer for the
credit system, which is as a rule general in
all mining camps, will be abolished, and bus
mess will be done exclusively on a cash basis.
But however llpable are these men who
thus leave the camp between two days, with
out settling with their creditors, it is not I'M
likely that the latter are to an extent respon-
sible for the frequency with which the crime
is committed. The evil complained of is in
a measure due to the lack of vigilance our
defrauded citizens exercise in looking after
their own interests and the l~eniency the Gull
prits are shown when caught in the act of
clandestlne departure. Instead of being ar
rested on the charge Of attempting to defraud
'iiCii ClSultoIS, lNey are DIS u RUE peElullCeu 10
preserve their liberty by simply paying their
bills. 1t should be remembered that every
time a man betrays the confidence of his
creditors and is EITHER permitted to escape OF
so unpublished, dozens of other men whom
fear of violated law renders honest, feel in
spired with courage to follow his example,
and thus the evil may be expected COIL
stantly to increase. Therefore, the only sure
way to prevent wholesale frauds being prac-
ticed on our citizens is to permit not a single
guilty man to escape, no matter what may be
the extent of his liabilities, and to visit upon
him when caught the severest penalties the
law can inflict. There is little doubt that if
Doctor Turnbull had been arrested before he
had reached the terminus, which might easily
have been done, and put through a deserved
curse of prison discipline, that the example
thus set would have had a salutary effect in
checking all further attempts to victimize and
swindle the public.

The Homicide.

Investigation into the character of Thomas
McGinnis, whose cold blooded murder was
%chronicled in yesterdays issue, proves that he
was a thoroughly honest and reliable young
man, who, though accustomed to Jake an &C.
caslonal drink, is not open to the charge of
dissipation. During three months of last
summer he was in the employment of Gov
ernor Potts, by whom he was much esteemed.
1t is quite evident that the refusal OF the I'M
fortunate man to grant the request of his
murderer, was given fer no other reason than
to prevent the latter from buying more liquor
and the assassin's act is therefore relieved of
every yestige of justification.
From a letter received last night, dated at
the scene of the tragedy, W. learn a few ad-
ditional particulars of the affair which ended
the life of the unfortunate Maginnis. The
statement published yesterday, that the affair
was entirely unprovoked and cold-blooded, is
borne out by the report of our correspondent.
The name of the man who did the shooting is
Pierce, of whom little appears to be known.
He had been engaged in f~reighting from the
terminus, but had been discharged the day
previous to the commission of the crime. He
was arrested by the citizens living near Rat
tlesnake and taken to Bannack, where he was
delivered over to the authorities. The coro-
ner visited the scene of the murder and en-
panneled a jury, but the verdict was given too
late to catch the last mail. Maginnis had
charge of the Governors race stock last fall
at the Helena fair.

The alleged loss of valuable letters com.
mitted to Uncle Sans mail service may pos
sibly receive some explanation from the total
inadequacy of the postoffice letter box to
contain with safety the numerous letters
thrust into it. While Butte was a one-horse
mining camp, perhaps not more than a dozen
letters were daily posted and the outside mail
box was plenty large enough, but the post
office business has increased proportionately
with all other branches Of trade, and more ex-
tensive mailing accommodation is now imper-
atively required. The box in present use
should be taken down and a much larger one
supplied, since at any time in the evening it is
possible for an il-disposed person to reach
through the aperature and extract a large
number of letters. The postmaster will con-
fer a great favor on the public by attending
to this matter as soon as possible.

County Commissioners,

The Board of County Commissioners met
at Deer Lodge December LIST, and have been
in session since. This term can legally con-
tinue ten days, and it is presumed that the
time will be fully occupied in disposing OF
business. The settlement with the Treasurer
alone will occupy several days, and there is a
vast amount Of other business. Among other
business disposed of to date we notice the
resignation of M. R. Hays, j. p, of Ophir
township, was accepted. The contract for
keeping the INDECENT sick and poor was award
ed to the Sisters OF st. Joseph's Hospital at
$40 per week per capitalize same as last
year. The contract runs until December 20,
1880. Bids were received from DR.. Mitchell
and DR.. Hanks for the care and medication of
INDECENT sick in the hospital and the sick in
the county Jail. Two bids were submitted
from each: DR.. Hanks, for attendance and
medicines, $3.50; for attendance without fur
nishing medicines, 5000. DR.. Mitchell, for
attendance and medicines, $799 for attend
ance without furnishing medicines, $500. The
contract was awarded to DR.. Mitchell on the
last proposition, and a contract made with
Shanly & 70 to furnish the medicines at $125
per annum.-Neu North Vest, Dec. 18th.

Almost q Suicide.

Som excitement was occasioned on the
street late last evening by the report that a
man named Willis had suicided. The report
was soon ascertained to be untrue. It how
ever appeared that the mar in question had
In some way unexplained, almost succeeded
in getting away with himself, either by pur-
posely taking poison or else by allowing him
self to be drugged. 1t also TRANSFERRED that he
had shot off a pistol, the ball passing danger
ously close to his head just previous to his los
ing consciousness from the effects of the poison.
Doctor Thompson was called in to ascertain
the nature of the mans ailment, and by adj
ministering a strong emetic soon brought his
patient out of danger. The young man is
reticent as to the cause of his sudden sickness.
