ONE of Murphy, Neel & Co.'S OK trains
with Joe Pickett in charge, passed through

fifteen head of oxen by stampeding with
buffalo, and quite a number being foot-sore,
the train lightened up at White Sulphur
Springs.

lHE NEW mllcS are ScIlllHS uo"h w q
steady thing, a good camp being assured.
T. E. Collins returned from a visit to that
region Monday. The facts about the mines
are briefly summed up as follows: There
were ffty-one cabins up when he left. Two
saloons, one store and one clearinghouse.
There were two hundred men in the camp,
one hundred and fifty of whom would Win
ter there. Many of these had laid in a win
ter's supply of provisions. Two town-sites
were laid out adjoining each other, called
respectively, Belt and Hoover Cities. Belt
was the most fay )rable location and would
perhaps predominant. A town had also
been laid out some distance below, called
Yago, but no buildings had yet been COM
menced. But little can be said as to the ex-
tent and richness of the mines. Most OF the
miners are sanguine. The quartz looks
very favorable, and specimens showing free
gold were exhibited. Some five or six bars
were sufficiently developed to guarantee
that they would pay from wages up ten
dollars per day. Mining on these had been
prosecuted with good results until cold
weather set in. -Four or five companies
were running drains. but bedrock had not
been reached. One drain was down seven
t teen feet and had struck gravel that would
warrant the putting in of q flume. whether
/ there was any pay found on bedrock or
. not. A saw-milf was said to be en- route
from the Yellowstone, and somep parties had
+. also gone to Benton for one. Mr.. Collins
2 regards the mines as permanent beyond {
s doubt, and the Judith basin rs the mos
beautiful and fertile portion of Montana
e and confidently looks forward TO see thf
region in the near future become tfte mos
G populous and prosperous portion OF Mon
tana.

GoDEY's Lady's Book for December closes
the year 1879 with flying colors. The pub
fishers have more than fulfilled their prom

exquisite steel plate, from Darley's original
design. suitable to the season, reminding us
cheerful Christmas gatherings.

The FIRES in the eastern portion OF this
county are said to have resulted from the
carelessness of campers, and we understand
that action will be commenced against some
of the parties for damages. We have often
warned travellers to guard against fires, but
our warnings have been UNDECIDED, and we
trust the parties may be made to pay for
their heedlessness. VIM. Martin, of Arrow
creek, fought fire for several weeks and
succeeded in saving a portion of his range.
MIR. Severance, of the Musselshell, had his
full force out fighting the devouring element
for a week or more. A greater calamity
could not nave b%efallen the country, and if
it be possible to bring the guilty parties to
Justice it should be done at any cost. Men
who care not how much they injure others
by their carelessness should be made to feel
the full force of the law.

WASHINGTON, d. G., March 20, 70.
The debates in the House have
got to the point Of tediousnes, and
people are wishing them over. 1t
is true that there have been many
able speeches on both Sides but
there is q sense of WEAKNESS IN
view of SO much politics and SO
little business. 1t is not encour-
aging to think that three weeks oil
the session will have passed with
out the passage of a bill by the
House except the army approprla'
ton, and that this is but the be-
ginning of the contest which Is tc
follow in both Houses on another
appropriation ILL with equally ex'
citaole provisions. Where will bt
the end of all this? This is the
anxious inquiry. The President
will probably veto these measure,

NOT 70 BE HAMPEREn


The comments of the Marksville
Bulletin, published below, are well
timed, and represent our sent'-
ments perfectly. The convention
certainly has competency to select
its presiding officer. and we feel
assured that no one paper or man
has the prerogative to dictate their
choice. The convention assemblies
next Monday, and at that time we
shall see that the Bulletins faith
is well placed:
Some of our confreres are advo-
eating the claims and suggesting
,he names of their delegates tor the
presidency of the Constitutional
Convention. We have no ob]ec-
ton whatever to the mere sug-
gestion of names, and If we had
any and did express them we
could very properly be told that 1T
was none of our business-that we
were Intermediates. But when
these names are submitted by our
brethren of the quill, and in their
zeal they couple them with en-
thusiastic claims for local prefer
epce. we then make bold to op-
pose all such false ideas. We may
be wrong, but it will take great
deal Of argument to make us un'
dsrstand that because a man Il
born here or lives there that nc
holds superior claims to distinction
| In our estimation North Louisian'
has no more right to the presidenc!
of the convention than has Soutf
Louisiana, aud the Florida parish
es have no better claims to it thai
the New Orleans or Central Louis
lana. If we were all to raise thi
cry OF section there would be
tempest in the tea pot sure enough
We have always thought that To
merit of the man and not his plac
: of residence should be depende
Z upon to carry him through. w
t have always liked to live in Louis
iapa-and we could never brln
ourselves to bound our ideas
men by the narrow limits OF on
own truck patch. Therefore. "

pleasing the entire State and not
= mere portion OF it.

Unearthed Evidence.

On the LIST of May, 1877, the
Packard Government collapsed,
and the Nichols Government was
instituted. In few days q great
cry was made that the books IN the
Auditors Office had been lost, stolen
or strayed. Geo. B. Johnson, Aadi-
tor under Packard, had>them cart
ed to the Custom House one night,
about q week before the downfall
of the Packard Government.
Two of these books were "con-
solidated bond" books, containing
the evidence Of genuineness of Ger
tain State bonds, and, of course.
the amount OF the State debt.
1t was though these books had
been buried, and all evidence OF
the State debt, honest and fraudu-
lent, lost with them. But tbeJ
were not
The long looked for books have
come to light A few days ago
the lanitOr OF the custom HOUSE
was noseing round, clearing ava,
i rubbish in an unused room, which
be intended converting into ar
Office. Books, papers and speeches
of statesmen that had been cas-
aside as waste paper, had been re
moved, when a trench, or trough
in the floor was discovered. lThi
looked suspicious and set the work
men to further prospecting. Afte
removing shavings, dust. campaig
speeches and other filth, a dry
goods box was struck. This DO
contained those books-the ev
t dence of Republican rascality an
D fraudulent bonds. Now, there WI
r be little difficulty in tracing To

The Suns Boston correspondent
says: Reference being made to
the scheme recently mentioned for
rendering New York, Ohio and In
diana safe Republican States in
1880 by inducing quarter OF q
million of the uneasy black men
from the South to move into them
in time to become bona 6de citi-
zens and voters, Gen. Butler de-
clared the inevitable result would
be to render those States Demo
cratic beyound doubt. This
would be done by the votes OF the
workmen, who would be reused to
intense hostily against the party
importing such throng to com
pete with them in the already
overstocked labor market. The
feeling would be as bitter as tina
now existing in California agains

they saw similar state OF thing

There are two modes OF curing tobacco

! tTe or smoke curing. the former mode is the

latter is common method employed by both
Southern and Western growers. Air curing
| is simply hanging the plants in sheds or
