CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-The Tymess Washing
ington special says Of. Garfield. reception Of
the Towpath club: These blooming fresh
water sailors had cards specially printed for
the occasion with the title in full Of ufrst
deck hand" ETC., printed after each pre cious
owners name. One may imagine Gen. Gar
fields feelings when he was called from bis
library by a servant with a dozen of these
cards. The reception he gave his frien DIS was
absolutely glacial. He CURLY nodded to them
standing, not asking them to sit down. One
of the spokesman feebly tried to say he was
glad to see that Garfield's canal boat was
finally entering the last lock, when Garfield
shut him off with such a stern look that the
speaker choked in the middle Of a word and
almost strangled. Gradually it began to
dawn upon the callers that they were not
pleasant companions, and they crept silently
away, hoping, as they went, that they had
not intrudeG. A first deck hand summed up
the reception by answering the question,
allow were you received ?" ed cool ~
Garfield said to a friend that he had no pa
thence with such a crowd. He was not
ashamed of his having been a canal boy,
neither was it a matter of boasting. 1t was a
mere incident in his life Of not the least i'm
portance in shaping bis after career.

How IL Happened.

ROME, Nov. 27.-The first mate of the
steamer Ortigian, which sank the Uncle Jo-
sePh, states that he saw a single masthead
light about a kilometer ahead. He deemed
the Ortigiau's helm ported, expecting the
merchantmen to do the same, but the Uncle
Joseph put her helm to starboard until she
saw the Ortigian bearing down on her, when
she ported, describing a semi-circle and ex-
posing her flank. The mate of tile Ortigiafi
then ordered her engines reversed, and the
Ortigian's PROV drove in the side OF the I'm
Gle Joseph. A few of the sleepers on board
the Uncle Joseph had time to rush on deck
before the vessel sank.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
Capital TrtronGed With yisitors-In0fas1
Matters-Yhe Liquor Question.


Editor Butte MINER:
AL antagonisms have been overcome in the
matter of managing the Inauguration ceremo-
MES in March next, and we shall be spared
the modification of having a continual quar-
rel among our citizens over the subject. From
every section there are reports of republican
clubs, military companies and other organi
cations which will be present, and there is lit
tie doubt that the number of people here will
be greater than ever before. To have so
splendid an occasion disturbed by petty con-
~tentiens among citizens who wished to be
conspicuous for a day aud probably wished to
trade Oh their prominence in the affair, was
the disagreeable prospect up to last evening.
Then the people of Washington took hold of
the matter without regard to party, and the
small politicians were gwen a back seat. :
Washington is beginning to fill up in antic-
ipatlon of the opening of congress. Delesa-
tions and strangers In large numbers are
daily at the white house. The president re-
turned from his western trip evidently IN
sound health and full of good nature, for he
receives every one who wishes to see him,
and oftener than any previous president gives
them all the time they desire. Yesterday,
the delegates to the Patrons of Husbandry
national convention spent several hours with
him.. Mr.. M Mrs. Hayes will leave the
White House with the personal good will of
more people pleasantly received by them than
any others who ever occupied the building.
For a few days past the most contradictory
rumors have been received by the war de-
partinent concerning the probable course of
Sitting Bull and his 900 Indians. Yesterdays
dispatch was the most reassuring so far re-
ceived, and indicated the early surrender of
that chief. At the interior Department. they
have gratifying assurances concerning the
only other indians from whom trouble was
anticipated-the Utes.
THE liquor question in this city has as
surned a shape probably known in few other
communities. Active measures are being
taken By the liquor dealers to prevent their
friends from dealing in any manner with bus
mess men opposing the granting of liquor
licenses. The representative temperance or
anti-license body-the "Pastors' Union"
composed of ministers of nearly all oenom-
inations-is also preparing lists of people who
assist in securing licenses TO sell liquor, and
asks temperance men to refrain from trade or
intercourse with such persons. To an out
sider-to one who takes no part in the mat
ter either way-it looks as if there was a
more dangerous sort Of lntemperance in this
proscriptiveness than in the use of liquor.
The arraying of neighbor against neighbor in
thism manner never did good aud never can.
WILLIS.

THE WEEKLY MINER.

annual terms Of court at Butte would only
serve to ~acquaint en- people with what they
lose by retaining tho seat Of the county at
Deer Lodge. Again, should the courts be
held here a precedent would be established
that would raise such q demand from other
places outside OF their county seats for terms
OF court that the authorities would be COM
PEELED to revoke their action in the premises.
The argument could be justly made that
Butte should not be awarded greater privi-
leges than other towns situated at inconven-
lent distances from their respective county
seats, and the result would be that the author
tiles, to prevent interminable confusion in the
business O" the respective counties, would be
compelled to return to the original modes Of
procedure and hold courts at county seats
alone. Should courts be held at Butte while
all the archives of the county are at Deer
Lodge, risks would have to be taken in the
transportation of important books and papers
to and fro, and losses of the same might occur
that would ruin a party or parties to suits.
These are matters that will enter into and
decide the fate of courts being held at Butte.
It is safe to say that NO courts will be held
here until after the division of the county.
In a future article we propose to take up
the matter of expense incidental to the for
nation of a new county, and by a comparison
with others in the territory show that the
southern portion of the county is not only
able to take care of itself, but would make
money by being set of, and furthermore we
shall attempt to prove that the northern por-
ton would be the gamer by a division. In
fact we consider it a matter susceptible of
proof that every portion of the county would
reap more Or less benefits from its division
This is the view of the subject entertained by
many who have given the matter their con-
sideration and have ditf from astandpoint
removed from that of pride Or self-iHterest.

II Is true that General Garfield him
self devised, suggested and prepared
the perjured testimony upon which
the Returning Board of Louisiana
threw out the real returns of the
election IN the Parish of West Eelic-
lana, and thereby figured up major
ify for Hayes ia the state, whereas,
majority Of the people had voted
for Tilden. This Garfield did ip the
way which Air. Hendricks sets forth
from GarHeld'S own testimony, and
this same Garfield Is now the Repub-
Dican candidate for president.
Ii Is also true that in his place in
the House OF Representatives, Gen.
Garfield resisted the passage Of the
Electoral Bill, declaring it to be his
conviction that IL that Bill should
pass, the Electoral Commission would
he required by the provisions Of the
Bill 10 go behind the returns and as
certain what votes had already been
cast by the people; aud yet as u men,
her of the commission. after he had
taken an oath TO examine and consid
er all questions and render true
Judgment. he refused to go behind
the returns, and held that the people
were concluded by forged certificates
certifying 10 nothing but falsehood.
That these propositions and others
incident 10 them are absolutely and
fully established by Garfield's own
sworn evidence is demonstrated in
Mr.. Hendricks speech.

General Weaver, the Republican
who is paid by the Garfield managers
to stand as Greenbacker candidate for
President to lure voters from the sup
port of Hancock and EnglisL, row
sets up the claim that the victor, IN
Maine is triumph for himself and
his cause. General Weaver knows
that this is false claim. He went
to Maine under the pay of the Repub-
lican managers to make speeches and
use his influence against The Fusion,
against Governor Plaisted, and in IA
vor of the Republicans and Governor
Davis. General Weaver is enactiRg
the bat which fought with the beasts,
and now, when the victory is with
the eagles, endeavors to play himself
for bird. He is, nevertheless, a bait
and henceforth he will be Stunned

In speech at Bellvifle, Illinois,
ex-senator Lyman Trumbull, candI-
date for governor on the DemocrlIe
ticket, in relation TO the Republican
claim that that party won the battles
of the Union, remarked: "Rut ] have
not done with this false claim of the
Republican party. | propose to-day
TO bury 1t SO deep with facts and fg-
ures that only the dHpes of dema-
gogues can longer he beguiled by it.
The Democratic State OF Missouri
alone, In which Mr.. Lincoln received
but Ia, ,02S votes in 1860, furnished
l99, III men to the Union army-a
greater number than was furnished
by all the Republican states of Yer
mont, Rhode Island, Minnesota, Ne
braska and Kansas put together.
Neither Michigan, Wisconsin or Iowa
furnished as many troops to the Un-
ion as Missouri. John A. Dix and
Daniel S. Dickinson, of New York,
Lewis Carr, of Michigan, and Stephen
A. Douglas, of this Slate, all lifelong
Democrats and leaders of tho party,
the moment Fort Sumter was fired
upon, came out In public speeches for
the Union"
Following up this representation of
the facts in the case, ex-senator Trum-
bull made this strong point: In 1860
Mr.. Lincoln received q total vote of
/ 1866, ,322, and there We're enlisted
during the war 2,67S, ,967 volunteers.
If the Republicans alone suppressed
the rebellion, somebody ought to ex-
plain how 1,S66,322 voters supplied
2,679, ,967 men of military age.

with "fIclIing money from the Re.
publican party" It is about time
this sort OF driyel was dried up. The
election Of Hancock will bring these
men to realize that the Republican
party doesn't own this government !;
that II Is a "Nation with big N"
government Of the people, and every
citizen, Democrat, Republican or
Greenbacker, II part aud parcel Of
IL, and has the came rights under II.
They will find out that the Treasury
Department and every other depart
partment belongs TO the people and
its use Is the transaction Of public
business. Another Idea Of some
Of these fellows is that John Sher-
man and the Republican party
caused the commerce Of the country
10 exist and the crops 10 grow. There
are some men who actually think that
but for John Sherman and their party
no wheat or corn could have been
grown this yesr. "What Internal
nonsense" Is about all the answer one
feels like making TO such driyeI rs
this.
The Congressional Campaign Com
miiiees are hard at work with a large
force OF clerks sending Off documents
TO every state, and several large print
ing establishments are running night
and day turning them of. The Re
publican Committee are saving post
age by illegally franking piles Of doc
uments. The city post Office was
obliged TO refuse to send them, for
fear Of the Law, and now the commit
tee carts them out 10 the small offices
in neighboring towns, from whence
they go. All reports received at DEM
ocratic headquarters are of the most
cheering kind, and since the Maine
Waterloo there IS great depression
among Republican clerks. But they
should not be utterly cast down. The
walking will be pretty good by the
middle OF March, probably.
