As usual the wire fails us at the moment
when interesting dispatches are a~nxiously
awaited. Yesterday there was a break in the
line somewhere between Helena and the ter
minus, so to-day we are without dispatches,
and conjecture is still our only recourse with
reference to the proceedings at Springfield.
At last accounts the situation was substan-
TALLY as follows: The State convention, or
ganized without the admission of either dele
CATION from Cook county, was in possession
of the Grant men. Knocking at the door and
demanding admission were two contes ing
delegations from Cook county, the Farwell
Hall delegation, go in number, Cook county's
full number of delegates, of which 81
were for Washburne, IS for Blaine, and
demanding admission en- masse and the
bolter delegates, for Grant, claiming the right
Of represe nting the large minority among the
Cook county Republicans who were in favor
of Grant. The Farwell Hall men demand
admission for their entire number because
they represent the majority, and according to
the political usages Of Cook county as they
describe those usages, the minority have no
rights which the majority are bound to res
pecG, The Pal1ker Hall, or bolter delegates,
makss,cona3er claim for admission because
it has altcdys been the practice of the Cook
county Republicans to allow the minority a
proportionate number of delegates, that they
might be fairly represented. Those are the
rival claims. As the matter stands it makes
a pretty quarrel, one in which the impartiality
of the Democratic on-looker is equalled only
by the strict principle of fair play actuating
the Western lady in the historic encoun-
ter between her husband and the bear.
IS taken up by the press, by the Inter Ocean,
for the stalwart Grant men, and by the 7rib-
une and its following for the opposition.
Ever since the ominous bolt in the Cook
county convention, those journals have had
it, hot and heavy, in a fashion highly edifyiDg
to outsiders, through the revelation it affords
of harmony within the party. How will the
contest at Springfield end? Will the Grant
men controlling the partially organized con-
ventlon so use their power as to irritate the
hhiiioiity Shu iACui thC IsA VI aiiotHCi uoIc
formidable bolt or will they, through the ex-
ercise of a political virtue truly angelic, de-
eide in favor of the Farwell Hall delegation,
a decision almost certain to transfer to their
enemies the power now reposing in their own
hands? Upon this matter probably depends
the Republican nomination for the Presiden-
cy, to be made next month at Chicago, and
if we were to hazard a guess it would be that
Grant is bound to get away with the game at
Springfield.

Congress made an apportionment of $3,0OO,-
900 to cover the expense of taking the census
this year. This sum-, it is thought, will not
be nearly sufficient for the work in hand. The
census taken at the beginning of each Of the
last three decades has cost as follows: In
1850 it cost S 1,329,027 to make the census
and get out the report which filed one quarto
and three o~ctavos; 1860, cost S 1922, PIP
report, one octave and four q~uartos 1870,
cost So 1886, 511-report, one octave and two
quartos. From this it will be seen that while
each enumeration has cost something over
fifty per cent more than the one Immediately
preceding, the appropriation for 1880 is con-
siderable less than the expense entailed by
the census of 1870. With the increase of
population and vast increase IN the completely
of business interests that has taken place
since 20 the census of this year will certainly
be a much more formidable undertaking than
that OF ten years ago, and it is certain to cost
proportionately more. But economizins is
the hobby of our legislators. The precept
obtaining in private life, "What is worth do
ing at all is worth doing well" was apparently
never heard of at Washington.

Long Point, jjutting out into Lake Erie from
the Canada shore, has acquired an unenviable
reputation through It's choice as the battle
ground Of American prize-tighiels. These
gentry have discovered that the surGst way of
escaping the severe penal laws enacted IN
New York and several other states against
prize-tighting, is to get beyond the jurisdic-
ton of those laws, and accordingly they have
made a practice of selecting Long Point, the
most easily accessible piece Of foreign ground,
as the scene of their contests. 1t was at
Long Point that Morrissey met Heenan in SO
in the fight whose ultimate effect was to gain
for the victor his election to Congress, and 10
send the v%anquished across the sea to win
from Sayers the champion belt that he was
cheated out of by the ever-vaunted British
love of fair play. Since that time Long Point
has been the scene Of many a battle, but the
Canadian authorities have at length grown
tired OF seeing the country oyerrun and the
laws detied by a gang of roughs from the
other side. A couple of weeks ago several
hundred of the class styling themselves the
fancy set out from Buffalo, with quite a lit
tie fleet of tugs and small steamers, to witness
the fight between Donovan and Rookie, to
come off as usual at Long Point. Upon az
irving at their destination the excursionists
were surprised to find a company of regular
soldiers, equipped for service, and extended
in diminishing line along the beach. Fur
ther back from the shore was still another
company, amusing themselves by practicinc
platoon firing in volleys, while close to shore
lay a British gunb0at, cleared for action
Undismayed by the preparations evidently
made for their reception, the roughs under
took to land, hut were politely requested no
to go ashore. Persisting, they were met a
the beach by the sheriff, who began reading
for their edifcation a highly interesting doc
ument known as the "riot act" a proceedin,
supplemented by very suspicious naneuver
ing on the part of the soldiers close by. On
good square look, fully taking in the situs
ton, was enough. The "guests" started home
ward, the expected fight did not taks plae
and the supremacy of law was maintained.

81 am for General Grant first and last and
we must give him Illinois in the convention.
He is our only hope and salvation" These
words were publicly uttered by Washburne
a short time previous to the assembling of
the Cook county convention. Yet we do not
find that he has repuciated the action of his
followers in that convention in their collision
with the Blaine men; the bargain whereby
the State delegation was to be proportionately
divided between them, to the utter ignoring
of Grant. Even in politics men are amena-
Bile to certain rules of honor. There is a
line, it may be. vague, its precise location may
I've uncertaia; but still there is a line beyond
'ch even politicians are not allowed to

..sown the latter, or be satisfied to rest

Miners will soon be a5)e to make their "
waterproof clothing. Anew York man has
invented what he calls Neptunite, . mixture
which renders any kind Of clsth to which 1t
may be applied perfectly waterproof. Each
fibre of the cloth treated is covered with q
thin, elastic, impervious coating, c~olorless
and odorless. If water be forced by hydraulic
pressure through cloth treated by Neptunite,
the fabric upon removal from the water is
perfectly dry, the fluid having forced its way
through the flbres without in the slightest de-
gree moistening a single thread. Any kind
of cloth can be treated with this water-repel-
liant mixture, the most delicate silks not be-
ing in the least injured in color, lustre OF
durability by the most liberal application.
Thu patent has been purchased by a company
of capitalists, who will shortly bling Neptu'
mite before the public and into general use.

GOOD FOR MAGINNIS.


The following telegram received yesterday
by a prominent gentleman OF Helena will
settle all doubts, if any have been entertain
ed, with reference to the position taken by
our Delegate upon the land grab scheme, 1t
shows that he is now where he has ever been
on the side which represents the best inter-
ests of his constituency. 1t will be seen that
he is not only opposed to the infamous meas
ure, but is recognized by his colleagues as the
leader of the opposition. The telegram says:
Major Magiiinis has been the recognized
leader of the opposition to the land commits
sion. He opposed its organization and uppn
his motion its report has been shelved for this
session.
