THE. New York Times says; A careful
canvass Of ten Of the States whose Lesisia-
lures will select United States Senators du-
ring the approaching winter has been maze
by correspondents of the Times. VI the
New England States, Massachusetts, &c Is
said, will re-elect her present Senator, Hem
nv l., Dawes; while In Connecticut, that
apostle OF Democracy, William l.. Eaton
VIII be retired TO make room for o prominent
Republicans the person Of General haw-
ley. New Jersey will senda Republican TO
Washington as successor TO Randolph, heI
present Bourbon member, and ex-Seeretary
Robson appears to % be ahead Der
aware II is by no means certain that Thomas
II. Bayard will be reelected, though his
chances now appear to be the best Ohio
& and Indiana win both elect Republicans to
supplant Democrats. The choice Of the
former State, will probably fall upon her
popular Governor, Charles Foster, while In
itt,9 latter there are number Of candidates,
of whom General Ben Harrison appears As
most likely 10 succeed. Minnesota will
probably reflect Samuel ]. *, Mcmillan,
and Nebraska Algernon 5. Paddock. In
Tennessee the Democratic representation in
the House is divided, and IL the Republicans
prove to have o majority on idrt ballot, OF
even hold the balance ofpower, there Is =
good chance that Postmaster-G General May
nard will succeed. In the Senatorial con-
test in Georgia, notwithstanding the war
that has been waged against Ex-Governor
Joseph L. Brown, he Ia likely to be elected
TO the seat he now occupies rs appointed
successor of General John D. Gordon.

Minnesota Insane Asylum Victims.

Sr PAUL, Nov. 19.---A st. Peter special to
the Pioneer Press says: The remains Of six
unidentified victims of the asylum fire were
buried here to-day. No more, missing, pa
tients are reported, and it is feared that all
reported missing are dead. This brings the
list of dead up to, thirty-two. Possibly
three or faurof the missing patients may be
found somewhere in the country, but It is
not very probable, notwithstanding the fact
that J. C. Brennan is reported to have been
seen on the railroad track after the fire. The
officers of the asylum have grave fears that
he is dead. They think that If he had gone
home he would have been heard of. ,;...s.

This is the heaviest failure ever known In

auate scale, not only between this country
and Mexico, but throughout the American
Republic. After full expression Of the
views of those present q motion was made

the advisability of complete fusion of the
interests represented on some general and
satisfactory basis. This was unanimously
| carried. Adams, of the firm Of Winslow

mittee be appointed for the purpose of devils
ing some means by which it might be attain
ed in justice alike to all interests represented

THE DIVISION ISSUE.

While there is some sparring on the side as
TO the question Of dividing Deer Lodge coun-
ty: while we consider the means used by the
Fusionists Of Butte TO secure a Legislative
Delegation favorable to the project as in the
highest degree disreputable and deserving OF
condemnation; while the "expense to
Butte people as the county now is, of which
SO much ado is made, Is mere bagatelle
compared TO that of organizing, providing
buildings for and maintaining anew county
government; while the time consumed In
travelling and the inconvenience thereof VIII
doubtless soon be reduced TO a couple oil
hours and the hardship be transformed lhIo
pleasure by the extension OF the rai"oau
here while IL Is the rest of the county tha'
mIrht properly complain because no civil
causes are reached in our court on account Oh
the immense criminal business from Butte
and which evil could be diminished by hold
ngcOurt terms there, and should be obVlAed
bythc appointment of fourth Associate JUS
lice for Montana; while we believe the day has
NOT vet come that county division is neces-
sary or even advantageous for Butte ana that
thc hasty camor for it will be repented OF
AT leisure by those who have the taxes 10 pay
and have not personal advantages to secure
in new county, we still recognize the exls-
tence in Butte of an element demanding d.
vision Of the county.
The attitude of the remainder of the coun-
". we think, depends to a considerable On,
tent on two things: 1st, Where Is IL proposed
N establish the division line? I'd, DO the
people within the proposed boundaries desire
the establishment of a new county? ii th'
boundary designated is reasonable ana III
people favorable the entire Deer Lodge Deie
CATION will, We believe, give the matterlrlehu
~ consideration. 1t is claimed that SllVe
Bow township alone has wealth ana popuia
ton sufficient for county government

Springs, running thence due cast to the OF
county line and south from Deer Lodge ri'
or so as to take in German Gulch wouid
satisfactory 10 them. Others suggest an ca
and west line that would take Philipsburg
the new county. We are told line In
would accomplish this would run throuI
the town Of Deer Lodge. As the questi'
of division Is a practical one, and one I'll
will probably come up in the next Leglsi
ture, it had better be discussed now and
would be pleased to see Butte put the matt
in shape that an expression of its actual al
interested citizens can be had OF whether
division Is really desirable, and II so WIN
line they suggest. Bees swarm, but II Is n
customary for the swarm to carry of the hi
with them. These suggestions are ASIDE Ito
any chatting that may be INDUCED in on .
division matter, and we trust will be so co
sidered and treated by citizens OF Butte

nonse from Butte as to what is desiredP

"Tbe road, in 1876, began to make some
thing. its net earnings being something less
than $500, 600; they appear to have been
little more in the annual report, but the ex-
penses of the general offices had not been de-
Quoted. In 1877, they slightly increased to
something over $500, 600. In 1878, to about
S4SO, 600, and in 1879, to about 5000, 900.
@"i In the fall of 1878, the Company felt that
better times were dawning, and that the net
income from the constructed road would
show its ability to pay the interest on new
issue of bonds, and they determined TO go
forward. They placed mortgage to secure
| 81 800. 900 of bonds on what is called the Mis-
souri division, extending from the Missouri
| river to the Yellowstone, about 22O miles,
| and those bonds were offered to the preferred
stockholders, pro rata with la bonus of stock,

press the public with its vitality. The ponds
were all taken; 100 miles were contracted TO

that the cost which was supposed at the out,

road is evidently now costing about $l5,OV
per mile, and this without reference to the

about $500, 900, which, if distributed over thu
expense of this Division, would make thu
cost something near $40, 900 per mile. I'M

THE MoREY LETTER.

General Averilis Tips Governors Island
NEW YORK, November 22.-The Tribune's
washington special says: The correspond
emit of the Tribune this evening had CONVEX
sation with two gentlemen Of high respecta-
bility. who were in New York the week be-
fore the publication Of the Morey letter, anu
who learned something which may De OF III
terest to people who are seeking to ma out
who is responsible for the forgery. These
gentlemen were sitting in their hotel on FRI
day, the 18th of October, when General Az
Grill, with whom they were acquainted came
in and entered into conversation with one Oh
them. Ayerill said, as near as can DC re-
membered: "It is all right. have just
come from Governors Island. cannot d.
yulge to you what is going on, but it is Dig
thing, and is going to turn this whole thing
altogether. We lost Indiana. Hancock IS
going to be elected, and don't you make any
| mistake about it. This Is as sure as you i've.
, There is something to be sprung on the 9th
err side. l cannot tell you what it is, but
there is letter coming out, which you Will
see in the papers. 1t may be published IN
two days and ii may be four or five. we are
coing to send it to the Pacific coast when il
comes out. Garfield cannot carry single
Pacific State. He cannot carry the West"
'Averill was very emphatic. The gentle
man to whom he made this communication
told the substance of it to his companion, ant
the two, who are Republicans, thought moth
ing further of the matter until about weeI
later, at which time they were in Boston
} They saw the Morey letter, and both recoe
nized it at once as the big thing to whic
General Averill referred. The correspond
. ent is not at liberty to make public the name
; of the two gentlemen, but they are at tn
! service of the officers of the law, should Gel
: eral Averll fail to remember the convers'
e ton and the mystery to which he alluded.
