Wheeling, May 24th, 1880.
From the above 1t will be seen that the

amount in the treasury cannot be used for
the payment Of any debt con lracted prior

applied TO current needs during 1880 It
having been expressly 80 stipulated when
these subscriptions for 1880 were made.

Eugene Hale offered II resolution declaring

the Fusionist backbone and their legislature
shows fewer signs of decay than ever. The
refusal TO admit such members as Strickland
and Knowles and others, of whose rights to
seats there is no doubt, when they went to the
State House yesterday, has helped the Fusion
lists. 1t was Just such a step as Governor
Smith and Pillsbuuy had hoped would be
taken. There had been a strong possibility
before that Senator Strickland, who is a law
yer and has a lawyers respect for the opinion
of the Supreme Court, would 90 into the

were his feelings at being shut eut from the

A member inquired when the mileage

The Legislature in session at the State

common with the MINER protested against
the proposed legislation on the ground that it
benefited one section of the country at the
expense of another. 1t was argued that each
State and Territory should take care of its
own criminals. The same argument will
certainly hold good in regard to cities. If
our Helena cotems. desire to be consistent,
therefore, and are sufficiently convinced of
the wisdom of their own advice to follow it
when the application is nearer home, they
should direct their endeavors to the punish

where the power of the courts is utterly iE-
adequate to cope successfully with an organi-
cation of criminals whom there is no posi-

silver.

The London BuiiOnist, a mOno-lnetalic
journal, admits that Germany committed a
%grievous blunder when she became a mono
metalist, and says she has paid for her blum
der. Notwithstanding this blunder, Bismarck
has refused to attempt to repair it by allowing
Germany to Join in an international Monetary
Conference. This is mere caprice on his part
for he has confessed that the demonstration
OF silver by Germany was u serious and mis-
chievous error. 1t is plain that Germany viii
eventually be obliged to retrace her steps and
return TO the double standard, and when she
does so she will have to become 4 purchaser
OF silver to the extent that she has been a
seller, in order to replace the stock she has
sold. The demand thus mace will stimulate
the silver market and attach a much better
profit to silver mining than the present rates
afford. The low price Of silver has been a
serious drawback to mining, but we think the
time is near at hand when a better price will
rule. The signs all point that way, and we're
it not that the majority of the mining compa-
MES are forced to sell their silver immedi
ately on its production, they could, by with
holding il from the market, soon force a
better price from the United States Govern
ment and from the English silver Spectators.

CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-The Presidential ques-
ton is absorbing a great amount of attention.
Newspaper interviews with leading politicians
are being held daily. The scores of sum-
maries sent from the principal cities in the West
give q pretty fair index, it is presumed, of the
condition of the public mind on the subject of
nominees. This is principally true of Repub-
licau candidates, but so far as regards the
Democrats, there seems to be a great deal of
uncertainty. Tilden doubtless has the lead
in the race as yet, with Thurman and nel-
bricks crowding closely after, and any num-
Der of dark horses in the immediate rear.
The interview gives the following general re-
suits among Republicans. By far the greater
number express a preference for Blaine, who
is especially the tavoritn in Iowa, Minnesota
and Nebraska. The next strongest candi-
date is Sherman, who even in Iowa crowdS
Blaine pretty close, and in Wisconsin and
in parts of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, and in
a number of Western and Southwestern
States has Il following that is working with
much more effect than noise. \ surprising
number also express d preference for Hayes,
despite his declaration that lie would not be Il
candidate. These are understood to be also
for Sherman as second choice. Grant takes
the third place in nearly all the returns. His
strength seemsto be greatly ovelrated by his
friends and among people at large who have
been misled by the honols paid him as Gen
etal and as a distinguished traveller: into
believing that people were rising in ii spontan-
eols demand that he be their President. Iii
The West he seems destined to secure only a
moderate support. Washburne has been
named as il second choice for Grant men, and
undoubtedly has some elements Of strength,
but much less than his political ahherents
could wish. lie is not regarded by thc
slrewdest politicians as a probable or even
possible candidate Of any strength. Cork
ling gets barely a recognition i'll the inter
views, as do also Elmunds, Garfield and
others. Taking one hundred as the number
of votes in The V est, the preference indi-
Gated by the interviews might be summed up
thus: Blaine 81, Sherman and Hayes 80,

AUGUSTA, Jan. 2O.-The Fusion House as
sembled at four o'clock. The committee re-
ported a recommendation submitting a series
Of resolutions to the Supreme Court. Ingalls,
said the court had notice whether or not we
ale a convention through which and by which
a legal House may not be formed. He said
that Gould would be here tonight to assist in
drafting questions to be submitted to the
Court, the committee to be instructed to
make to the court a full statement Of facts.
Dickey SAYS there will be no way ont Of this
but to submit to the Court. There are points
in our position which are unchallenged, but
to stay here and pass laws which will be disre-
garded by the courts would be ludicrouS he
would have the committee take ample time.
He said the Republicans may tird out that
we are not savaSes, and are not the lawless
fellows that they have supposed us to be, and
will permit us to occupy the State House af-
ternoons and adjourn from day to day until a
decision Of the court can be obtained. Wales
said, ''are we in condition to ask the Repub-
licans to loan lis the State House tomorrow ?"
(Cries of no. no.) Having obtalile1 the
opinion of the Court, are we willing to submit
to it? Having appealed t. the Court and
finding its decision against us, shall we still
cry that is the decision of IA partisan court? ~
He had always been in favorOf submitting TO
the Court, as n power 10 which he must bow.
Ingalls, said that if we ask for a decision of
the court We must stand by it. lie Intended

THE PETITION REFUSED.

Some weeks ago it will be remembered the
citizens of Butte united in signing a petition
to be sent to the Supreme Court, then in ses-
sion in Helena, praying that two terms # the
Second District Court should be assigned to
Butte for this year and succeeding years. The
reasons for making the request were plainly
detailed, and it was confidently expected that
the Supreme Court, taking cognizance of the
facts as they existed, would award to the Sill
yer City a favorable decision to which she
was u~ndeniably entitled. After the petition
had been sent to the Honorable body
in Helena, the MINER supplemented and
fortified the prayer by a series of articles,
conclusively proving that Butte is the money
center, the center of business ana the center
of population of this district, and that in all
justice, two terms of the court, at Least,
should he assigned to this city. So plainly
WAS it shown that Deer Lodge is rot entitled
