The Miner Of Tuesday regards IN more
sensible light the question Of county divis-
ion and concus in our suggestion that the
question Is a practical one, in which other
sections Of the county than Butte and Deer
Lodge are interested, and whose residents
might like to have voice in the matter. The
Miner further INDUCES in the belief that the
question is likely to be considered by the
members of the next Legislature. The dis
cussion of county division can result in
wronging no one, and the benefits derived
from such discussion may be of as little val
ne. Great minds differ, and those Of lesser
calibre may sometimes hold opposing views.
To divide Deer Lodge county means the I'M
dertaking Of something of no small magni-
tude, and all things should be carefully con-
sidered. While Ii may seem question OF
vital importance TO some persons In one sec
ton to secure division of the county, resi-
dents of other localities, and some residents
Of that may just as earnestly oppose and be
able to assign good reasons why no division
should be had, for the present, at least. The
most ardent divisionists might, after a slight
investigation, discover their prospects were
not as fiattering as they had supposed, while
opponents of the measure might see the error
of their own ways and be converted.
As in Butte, there are men in Deer Lodge
who favor division of this county, but 1t Is
not well TO allow the matter to 60 un
discussed. The. silence prior to election d
an additional reason for open and full dis
cussion at the present, and until all sections
shall have proclaimed their views on the
matter IL will not be taken for granted the
question has been settled, and even then the
minority should and will have right TO b.
heard. Representative men, owners ofprop
erty and those interested In the welfare Of
the county In each and every community
should meet and discuss justly and amicably
a question of such vital Importance, consider
where, IL divided, the dividing line shall be
and also give expression to their views as x
whether the question of division shall b,
submitted TO the qualified electors of tn
county proposed to be divided or be deter
mined arbitrarily by legislative body o
men, large majority Of whom have no In
terest whatever, and who might possibly ac'
against the expressed wish Of residents O
Deer Lodge county. Butte took the initia
tory step In the question Of division; let 1t
representative men now state their views
Deer Lodge will also. be heard from and w
trust all sections of the county will respon
and make known their feelings on the sub
jet. Let the people speak. .. -rr

THE Trfbune's Cincinnati special says :
Governor williams death causes o new po-
liticai compiexion IN Indiana, which leaves
the State without head and prevents the
election OF d Senator. The law requires
that before either the Governor or Lieuten-
ant Governor can take their seats the two
Houses must be organized The Senate was
tie when Gray was Lieutenant Governor.
He had the casting vote, Is he had two years
ago, but the death of Williams leaves . tie
to be broken by d detection from one side or
the other. The Democrats have determined
heretofore to organize the Senate, and win
cling 10 their determination. II each aide
stands firm the Senate cannot organize, and
without II neither The Govenornor Lieuten-
ant Governor can take their seats, and at the

THE New York HeralTs Paris special of
last week says: A large number Of Nihilist
placards have, Just. appeared upon the walls
Of ST. Petersburg, and some Of them In the
most frequented parts Of the city. They
proclaim, In flaming characters, the begin
ming Of fresh revolutionary movement, be-
side which all former agitation win be con-
sidered puerile and Insignificant. Ominous
warning Is given that the throne of Alexsn-
der will be vacant before the dawn of anoth-
er year. A vigilant search has been made by
the police authorities TO discover the source
Of these placards, and. many houses thought
TO contain secret printing establishments
have been visited, Several arrests have to
ken place and more are expected. The peo-
pie live In constant fear Of falling under the
ban Of suspicion, and between the plots OF
the Nihilists and the descents Of the police
they are In o state Of exaggerated terror.
Thus far, however, the police seem TO have
been unable TO discoyer the audacious Lead.

National Republican., 1880-03-01

Inter OCEAN, in referring to this matter, says
that the threat was freely made at the
conference that an end should be put to
" the third-term movement, and that the
country should know that the Republic
"caus Of GRANTS own State were opposed
" to him; and, with this object in view, the
"anti-GRANT crowd were on hand in force"
In view of all this the result of the con-
ference was exceedingly gratifying. The
meeting was overwhelmingly for GRANT
The Ne,cs, an independent journal, says it
was IAN out-and-out GRANT meeting" His
friends could easily have adopted a resolu-
tion indorsing his nomination by vote Of
three TO one, but they had not assembled
for any such purpose. 1t was sufficient for
them TO make thisshow of relative strength.
There was a marked kindly feeling toward
the friends of Mr.. BLAINB, though some of
the less discreet of them had provoked
other treatment. The meeting gave marked
evidence that the Republicans of Illinois do
not propose TO desert her eminent citizen,
but to cast their votes solidly for ULYSSES
S. GRANT at the National Convention.

SPARKS FROM THE POLITICAL ANVIL

The Boston Advertiser says that "if the senti-
ment of Massachusetts, is fairly represented at
Chicago it will be Grant"
Colonel Forncy in Progress this week says
what is needed is to break the solidity OF the
South and Grant is the man.
There is no man in the Senate so high that
his dignity would be lowered by placing his
name next to that of Grant on the Republican
ticket.--Bu6dlO Express (Rep.)
The Chicago Tribune protested as fercely
against tho denomination OF Lincoln as II does
now against the denomination of Grant. His
protest will probably do as much good or bad
as IL did then, and no moro.
Wendell Phillips isn't Grant man if be
knows himself, but he says that the man who
dreams of Grant turning into a dictator in
case he is reelected would have awakened
Noah with the cry Of "Fire P'-NonpareiL
If tho Democratic papers really believe that
| General Grant is a weak candidate, why are
they devoting so much time and attention to
him2 Why abuse him more than all the
other Republican candidates combined II he
would be the easiest man to defeat? Perhaps
some one in charge of Democratic mud
swivel will stop long enough to explain this
| thiug.--Cheyenne Sun.
National Republican., 1880-03-01

The GRANT managers are able Chalmers"
They are sure of his nomination already but
ouy their section Of the party has spoken yet.
-NeU York Tribune.
But two States have spoken yet, and what
do they indicate? If the Tribune will learn
to restrain its impatience aud cultivate a
higher spirit of toleration toward those who
differ with it in opinion, it will then ap-
proach nearer the beatitudes. 1t seems
now to be cultivating its talent for discom-
fort, when it should be making its peace
1t does not act wisely or we'll when 1t slaps
the faces of those who have never proved
false to Republican principles or candi
dates.

ILLINOIS NInYING.

The prominent representative men OF
the Republican party in Illinois have re-
gently held conference at Chicago on the
subject OF the opening campaign, which
evidenced the fact that the tide of public
sentiment which has swept over New York
and Pennsylvania and has led them TO de-
clare unequivocally for GRANT, has reached
and is acting upon the political elements OF
that noble State. One feature of that gath
ering was peculiarly gratifying The sup
pOrters Of General GRANT showed dispos-
ton TO treat the supporters of other candi-
dates with the utmost kindness and respect
throughout They had provocation to re-
taliate some acts Of marked disGourtesy and
unkindness on the part of the friends
Of Senator BLAIEE, but they were passed

or more the reputed friends of Mr.. BLAINE

Chicago for signatures, not only urging him
for candidate, but protesting against the
nomination of General GRANT. At pre-
ViOus meeting OF the BLAINE Club, in that
city, the chairman took the liberty Of urging
its members and their friends to attend the
conference in force, for the purpose, NJ
doubt, of securing the Endorsement Of theli

friends of General GRANT have done ha

ling. The sum named would have pur-
chased nearly 800 barrels of flour. The
people of Ireland are starving for food, and
the cry for aid to relieve this condition Of
that afflicted people has gone out to the
world in most pathetic tones. The whole
civilized world is now responding to that
rall with wonderful liberality, and
that the clergy of Ireland should
at the same time be sending large
sums of PETERS pence to Rome, where
there is not even want, much less
absolute starvation, strikes the average
mind strangely enough. If this public
announcement has any effect upon the
charitable world it will be to dry up the
food of charity that is flowing in from all
directions upon the suiierings of Ireland.
