The weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1878-1881, 1880-11-02
NOTES.


The following are the names Of the chic
justices of the United States. They are giver
in the order of their appointment to the
Office: John Jay, j. Rutledge, Oliver Els
worth, John Marshall, Roger B. fancy, Sal.
mon p. Chase and Morrison r. Waite, the
latter now presiding.
Charles Francis Adams, the Boston Refrlg-
orator, has gone over to Garfield. The repub-
lican party has gone up now. He manages
to freeze every party to death with which he
a~filiates. He has belonged to all parties, and
to none of them long. Farewell, Charles
Francis, thy embrace, like the Virgins Kiss,
is death.
Our exchanges from the capital, the hide
sendent and Eerald, are having a lively little
fight over there the Herald, as usual, the
under man in the combat. That paper has
evidently adopted the John Phoenix tactics of
war. 1t lies on its back and holds its adver-
sary down by inserting its nose between the
teeth of the upper man. The Herald uses
no discretion in choosing it's man.
We call the attention OF our readers to a
circular letter and card, which appears in
another column, in regard 10 a charge that
has been made by an irresponsible party for
the purpose IF ipjurlng Judge Irvine in this
canvass. Those who know the Judge unhes-
itatingly pronounce the charge false. Il is
an unworthy device to injure an honorable
man, which will surely meet its condemna-
tion at the polls to-day.
The American exchange at London reports
that the expenditures of Americans in Eu-
rope this year, Judging from their letters of
credit, amounted to over $50, O00, 900. Six
ty thousand of our citizens contributed this
little sum. There is nothing suggestive of
hard times in the above fact, but it conveys
fair evidence that a continued annual out
lay of that amount in foreign countries will
produce them. The saving of that sum for
ten years would pay the national debt.
III common with many others We will make
our guess as to the result Of the presiden-
tial election. We will concede the doubtful
states of California, Nevada, Oregon, Maine
and Indiana to Garfield, which, with the
states that we all consider sure for him, will
give him ISL electoral votes. We claim for
Hancock the doubtful states of New York.
Connection and New Jersey, which, with
those safe for him, will give him 1873 electoral
votes. We claim Hancock's election by a
majority of seven electoral votes.
Mr.. Garfield denies writing the Chinese
letter. So he denied that he received a single
cent from the Credit Mobil,er concern. Yet
a republican congressional committee # in
vestigation says he did, and his party papers
called him a liar and a p~erjurer. We will
not go so far as to say he lies about the Chin
csc letter, but that he must have a very
treacherous memory is evident. He may be
our next president, and we would not like to
believe he is quite so bad a man as some of
his party papers have represented him to be.
His memory must be bad, that's all.
In another article are shown a few things
that Major Maginnis has done for the terrific
ry. But figures are weak vehicles to convey
to the mind of the reader all that Major Ma
ginnIs has done for Montana. The real re-
suits of his labors are seen IN a happy, pros-
porous territory that but a few short wears
ago was comparatively a bowling wilderness.
They are seen in the immunity from danger
of Indian depredations and massacres which
our frontier ranchers and stock men now en-
Joy. They are seen in the focks and herds
that securely feed upon our hills and noun
tain slopes. They are seen in the fields of
waving grain that rIpen in our valleys, where
once the wandering savage trod. They are
seen in our bright, happy frontier homes
that encircle our fair land like pearls upon
a thread of gold. They are seen in the
smiling countenances of the once hard press
ed and almost ruined farmers of Gailatin and
Bitter Root valleys. They are seen in the
busting, thriving cities and towns that are
Swinging up in every valley and on every
mountain side. They are seen in our safe,
and more rapid means of transit. They arc
seen in the fact that Montana is to-day The
most desirable ter tory in The Union for The
immigrant to fin d a bonarza or to make 3
pleasant, comfortsb bic home fer h self ant
his loved ones. These are he direct al d in
direct results of Il @ lato;s If the Hon. Star
tin Maginhis in behalf of the people IF Non
tana. Who can r fuse TO vote for him?
