Blahne's

New YORK, November 19.-The Herdld's
correspondent at Augusta interviewed Blaine
on the Maine situation Who said 1.-THE
Republicans demand fair play and a fair
count and they mean 10 use all reasonable
means to secure it. The present Governor
and Council have secreted The returns, which
have always heretofore been open to the gaze
Of any respectable citizen. I have lived in
sight of the Safe House for twenty-fiv years.
Any intelligent gentleman could, during thai
time, have had access TO election returns sent
in by various own and city authorities to the
Secretary Of State. 1t is to say the least sus-
piclous that an innovation should be made
now" Blaine further declared he thought
the conspiratois didn't feel as good as yesteI-
day, that the presence of prominent Repnbli-
cans had frightened them of. Hamlin also
told the reporter that the Republicans would
not submit to be counted out. Garrelon said
no fraud would be attempted but the votes
would be counted according to law.

MAINE ELECTION FRAUDS.

The probability that a fair count of the
votes cast IN the recent election in the Pine
Tree STATE will give to the Democrats and
Greenoackers a new lease of power, readily
accounts for the t~repidation and agony of the
Republican managers. Maine has SO long
existed as a " stalwart Republican common
wealth, and has for SO many years been the
undisputed personal property Of Senator
Blaine, that when the majority of the people,
becoming tired OF ring rule, seek to elect
good men to make and execute their laws,
the deposed spectators take eager refuge in
the cry of fraud. 1t is somewhat singular,
though by no means unusual, that we hear
only the Republican version of the story and
taking into consideration the very slight re-
gard with which the average Republican pol
Itician regards what is known as a fact and
the natural aud cultivated appetite which he
displays for a falsehood, it would be well to
take the statements emanating from these in
dignant and much-abused gentlemen with a
plentiful saline favoring. When the facts are
given to The country, it will most likely ap-
pear that if the Democratic party is really
taking any measures to secure political power
in Mr.. Blaine's landed estate, that the right
and title of the distinguished Senator to the
political leadership of The people has been
fairly wrested from him al the battle of The
polls. 1t is unreasonable to suppose that at
the present impending crisis in the existence
of the Democratic party its managers would
be guilty of the gross improperly which is
charged by their opponents with such dis
honorable and noisy animosity.

Gould's new telegraph company, the Amer
icln Union, is already doing business between
New York City and Saratoga, Albany, Troy,
Yonkers and New Haven, Conn. 1t is ex-
pected, as soon as it gets fairly to work, that
the tariff to all connecting points will be re-
duced so per cent. below the Western Union
rates. The Continental Telegraph Company
will be the active competitor of the American
Union, and wherever the lat er opens Offices
the Continental will follow and adopt the
same low rates. The Western Union Com
pany own the Continental lines, and will fur
nish them with the facilities to do all The
fighting, ant will probably make no direct
reduction th, selves whatever.

The exhibition of the Indian peace council
at the Los Pinos Agency is awakening the
mlrthfulness of The whole country, and is, be-
yond all doubt, more ridiculous than one
of Billy Emerson's minstrel performances.
The expenses of the commission will amount
to several thousand dollars, and now that
there is little probability of furnishing the
murderers Of T%hornburg and Meeker, would
it not be a good idea for the govern.

and commissioners and organize them into a

The Chicago mier-Ocedn asks Can In
dams be civilized" Certainly. Their sphere
OF usefulness, however: is limiled. They are
adopts in the art of hair dressing, having a
novel and original way of treating the hir-
suite adornment. They also make excellent
butchers, always selecting the most valuable
and promising victims for the slaughter. As
dancing masters, they might prove exception
ally useful 10 society, and could teach all low
ers of 1'erpsichorean art many new and fan
tastic motions. In onr opinion, however, they
could best advance Western civilization by
acting as designated lead repositories for Uni
ted States troops, TO which Office we cordially
recommend their appointment by The Govern
ment.

There was a pistol accident at Glendale
Tuesday evening, in which a man named
Pratt was shot through the knee cap. The
shootist was fined $50 and costs for his care
lessness. @
1t is said that there are a great many men
at the railroad who would come 10 Montana
but for their dread of the ssstranglers.' It
seems tn be a w~eIl-founded fear, and those
who have occasion to be afraid of the opera
lions of the brethren Of the mystic figures do
well to indulge in it.
Another old citizen has gone to his rest.
On the Sth inst, John Mannheim, one of the
earliest settlers of Madison county, departed
this life. Deceased resided In Virginia for
several years, where he carried on the busi-
ness of a brewer, removing from here some
four or five years ago, and engaging in a sim
liar business at Glendale.

ployss went to the corral for an animal to
slaughter, 1t was found that IL had been
opened and the cattle driven of.

Now that railroad communication is almost
established between Montana and the money
centers of the East and West, it may be well
to call attention to the numerous and very
decided advantages which this Territory pos
sesses over the other mineral producing sec
lions of the country.
That the prosperity of Utah and Nevada is
conditional upon high market prices for lead
admits no denial. The percentage of lead
contained in the silver bearing ores of Utah
is SO high, and the assay value of the silver so
low, that mining is a proftless employment
in many of The camps unless the base metal
is in active demand at not less than $40 per
ton, of which fact the recent protracted pa
ralysis of the mining industry in that Terri
tory IL sufficient evidence. Yet the liability
of lead to fuctuate TO q lew figure is a n
10 successful mining in Utah which is paled
into insigniicance by the calamity threatened
in the admission Of the Territory to the
rights Of statehood. Once intrustcd with the
reins Of State government, the Mormon
church leaders would exert al! their power to
rid their sacred domain Of the tresspasses Of
their .enemies." By special and excessive
taxation they would stife every outside en-
terprise and within I've years could be ssfel,

Political Talk.

New York, Nov. 19.-The Republican
journals say prominent Republicans will go
to Louisiana 10 stump the Slate, having been
invited by men of all parties. The Demo-
cratic papers, however, declare none will go,
as "the Solid South" is TO be The war Cry next
year, and the Republicans have no disposition
to beat themselves by making the South un-
solid.
Ex-Gov. Stanford, of Gallo mia, has taken

Montana has suffered from the drought of
the past summer less than any other Western
Territory. Nevada is completely dried up, and
in many sections of the State scarcely enough
water can be had even for culinary purposes.
The situation is similarly distressing in Utah,
where the desert has ceased to blossom as the
rose, and where, in all likelihood, thousands
~pasturage. Though the season has been
more than usually dry in Montana, no serious
danger is threatened to the cattle interests,
there being an abundance Of food to last
throughout the winter. This Territory may
always be depended upon for a good winter

Business Meeting.


WASHINGTON, November 19.-The Society
of the Army of The Cumberland had a BUSH
ness meeting in the forenoon. Upon the
platform were Governor Mathews, and Gen
erals s. HaltranfI, Butte field and Kimball.
The meeting was called to order by General
James A. Garfield, who stated that owing to
the illness of the President of the Society,
General P. H. Sheridan, he was unable TO be
present. General JEFF. g. Davis, ST., Vice
President, was unanimously elected presiding
officer and made a brief address. District
Commissioner, Phelps, bid the society well
come to the city. General Slocum followed
with a short eulogy upon General George
Thomas, whose name would go down to pos
terity second to that OF no man who ever
walked the earth. A communication was
read from General Sheridan, expressing deep
regret at his absence. A committee were APP
polluted 10 nominate officers of the Society
for the coming year, to decide upon time and
place for The next annual meeting, and to Sc
lect the orator for that occasion. After some
rout, ne business the meeting was adjourned
and the members went to their positions in
the procession.

Dakota Suing for Statehood.

There is much agitation for the admis-
sion of Dakota as the thirty-ninth State in the
Union, and it is probable the day is not far
distant. Since 1870 the population has in
creased from $4,000 to 10000, aud its people
think it will be 100000 in 1880. This would
entitle it to admission unless the Territory
is divided. Dakota is just three times as
large as New York State, which would seem
to make it too colossal for convenient manage
ment. The Missouri river is a natural division
north and south, having Bismarck or Yankton
for the capital of the eastern state, and the
other with the political and business center
IN the Black Hills mining region. If a
division is decreed, however Gin which case
the eastern half might be named "Pembina'')
admission into the Union would have to be de-
layed. 1t is asserted that three-quarters of
the soil of Dakota is unsurpassed on the
globe for wheat growing and there are six
lines of railroad now being pushed across
these lands from east to west.

The GENITAL system has already proved a
failure in New York. At a grain trade meet
ing last week Mr.. Henry Kneeland said that
the grain trade had fairly and patiently given
the GENITAL system a trial, and had foundi it
entirely impracticable. 1t took too much
time and study, aud men in these days OF
quick competition had not the time TO waste
in making the necessary calculations. The
country could not be got to understand ii.
PEOPLE would have to be educated up TO it
and it would require Congressional action to
carry it into effect.

depended on 10 leeislate every Gentile out of
the Territory. PIX
In Nevada the situation Is somewhat di1e =
emf, though The present outlook is no less dis
couraging. The speculative craze concetoiug
Nevada mining property has of late yeas
resulted SO disastrously 10 the investors that
however permanent aud valuable may be the
mines in some localities OF the SIare, CONT
dence in the prospect Of profitable mining
enterprises in that country is gradually but
sulely disappearing. White Pine, Hamilton,
Austin, Ward, Phoebe, and many other towns
which not long ago were the scenes of bound
less excitement, existed as live camps only a
few brief months, and are now comparatively
deserted. Virginia City, Gold Hill ard
Eureka are the ouly mining towns of whose
prosperity the Sage Brush State eau now
boast. The first two named are maintained
altogether by the Bonanza Spectators, and
the last, being a lead camp, is completely at
the mercy Of the lead market.
Colorado is well supplied with enterprising
capitalists who IN all probability have secured
control of the most promising mining proper
ties. Until The Ute reservation can be
made available for exploration by The
removal or determination of the lndi-
ans, the field for profitable investment
in the Centennial State is necessa. lily limited.
Therefore, while not wishing ~unjustly to dis
parage the mineral resources of the southern
country, for certain properties like the Com
stock, Ontario and Leadville mines are beyond
dispute fabulously rich, we do desire 10 direct
the eye of capital in this direction, and, by a
plain statement of compared facts, to show
that Montana offers better Inducements 10
sagacious and enterprising men Of capital
than any other section of the Western coun-
That constant warfare and those Bit er aud
violent prejudices which render Utah unpleas-
ant as a place of residence, and unsafe as a
place of business, are not known in this Ter
rtory. Secondly, the mineral interests, un-
like those of Utah, Nevada and Colorado, are
entirely independent of the lead market, The
ore being rich enough in the precious metals
10 leave a handsome profit after covering the
cost of production. Thirdly, ne can boast of
thousands of acres of virgin placer ground,
Notwithstanding the millions of money which
The rocker and pan have already produced.
Four.hly may be mentioned our doubtless ag-
ricultural and stock raising resources, second

advantages, the treasures of forest and stream
but this enumeration of particulars might
go on ad intfni:um. Suffice it to say, in con-
c~lusion, that Montana is the paradise to which
the miner, farmer, stock raiser, mechanic,
Spectator and capitalist should all direct
their footsteps, for the advantages of no other
section of the Union are so numerous or the
