A note written from Fort Logan by Hon.
=. Y. heriey states that q number of cases of
olackleg have recently occurred among the
cattle OF that vicinity. We are also informed
that the disease prevails to a fatal degree in
the region Of Flathead lake.
hon. j. kerley, member Of the Council
elect from Meagher county, had some severe
experiences in the Belt mountains recently.
He was caught in the blizzard and had all Of
his fingers and both of his feet frozen,-not
seriously, but to such extent that it is as much
as he can do to walk a few rods. With care
ful treatment he will be all right again in the
course Of the next few days. A short time
ago as Mr. Kerley was leading his horse along
ing, slipped DO wnsthe mountain a distance Of
70 feet and then fell over a perpendicular
precipice about 20 feet, alighting slap bang
on his back in a creek. The stream was
frozen over and was covered with about two
feet Of snow. The snow and the giving away
OF the ice saved the animals life. The sad
die was slightly injured and the horse famed,
but not seriously. If Mr.. KerIey had been
riding the horse he woulr doubtless have
been badly hurt, and it is probable that he
would never have GOT out alive, as he was in
. remote place where people seldom 60, and
the weather was very severe.
THusbandman.l
The most extensive placer mines on the
east side o. the Diamond range are those
owned by MessEs. Kelly. Harston & Hoag-
land. Besides extensive possession on Elk
creek, they have a number Of acres in
Thomas gu]cb, where they are at work run
ming q drain which is now near bedrock.
Express matter for Martinsdale is acculnu-
lating rapidly, the Custer line being unable to
move it away as fast as the Helena line
rushes it IN.
The snow on the Judith valley was IA
inches deep when last heard from, but was
as light as frost. No wind had occurred to
drift it.
Marks & Patterson, Of the Missouri valley,
are engaged in pork packing. They will
probably use up in their establishment all the
porkers on that valley. They this season are
trimming all their meat closely and their ba-
con next spring will be first class.
There is no longer a doubt that the Birch
Creek Quartz district will come to the front
in few years. Every Indication is favora-
bic. The great granite peaks that frown
down upon the district pierce, the very sky,
and leads that prospect we'll in silver, are to
be found at every altitude from the base to
the summit. Some Of the hills are literally
covered with rich specimens of silver ore.
The district presents a most inviting prospect
to those wishing to develop mines. Some or
the leads have shafts on them to a depth Of
so feet and hold out we'll both in quality and
quantity. This is the best season for pros
pecting; shafts may be sunk or tunnels run
now when the weather is too severe for other
work.

To the River Fress:
" / have no doubt your lady readers would
like a full description Of the reception given
by Mr.. and Mrs. W. &. Conrad, on Thursday
Dec. 9th, in honor of tbir sister Mrs. Matte
Hawkins.
OF course gentlemen have no curiosity and
do not care for such things? But, I assure
you. il you please the ladies you will receive
the patronage Of the gentlemen.
AS one entered the hall OF Mr.. Conrad's
beautiful residence, it was like going from 9
world Of snow and dreary darkness, into Q
fairyland of Light, and warmth, and beauty.
The parlors and reception rooms were all
thrown into one, n king d long vista Of vel.
vet and raw silk, in richest designs, lace and
silk drapery st the windows, finely painted
china, exquisite majolica.W ware, unique bric-a-
brac, costly mirrors, choice steel engraYings
who have collected all this beauty into one
magnificent whole have high culture and a
fine sense of the beautiful and artistic.
The fair hostess received her guests with
that dignifed ease and grace which are only
acquired by birth, or long years in refined
society. She is blonde, and her beauty was
heightened to q remarkable degree by her
tasteful attire Of cream colored cashmere,
embroidered on waist and skirt in Persian
colors. A lovely collar Of fine point, was
caught together by a lovely diamond pin Of
great brilliancy, large solitaire earrings, flow
ers in her hair, and soft fine lace at her wrists
completed this becoming toilet.
The bride looked lovely, as tbs ever the pc
culiar province of brides to be. Her dress
was a pearl gray silk deliberately shirred,
faced and trimmed with cardinal satin, soft
flmy lace in the neck and sleeves, orange
buds and blossoms at her throat and in her
pale brown hair. The groom had on the.
regulation suit Of black, and appeared ex-
tremely happy, as bridegrooms always do,
or should do. They received the sincere
congratulations Of their friends with. beaming
faces. This showed that theirs was really
one Of the. matches which are said TO be
made in Heaven.
The attire of the guests was such as would

THE PEOPLE MovING.-There was
an immense Democratic meeting and
torchlight procession in New York
last night. The Sun says there were
80, 900 men in line and $4,000 more
were listening to the speeches in vari-
GUS places. Senator Bayard and
others spoke in Tammany Hall. Gen.
Daniel L. Sickles, who has heretofore
Imported the Republicans, made a
speech declaring in favor of Hancock.
The Herald says, "that portions of
New York which did not take part in
the great Democratic demonstration
last night saw notable sight. There
has been no political gathering for
twenty years equal TO it. Rejoicing
that their past differences are healed
to quote the language of the resolu-
tons, the Democrats of New York
turned ont in their full strength, and
it must be said that they present a
formidable array.
"Mr. Bayard recited briefly the finan.
cial history OF she last dozen or fifteen
years, to show that the republicans, so
far from deserving the credit of what
we somewhat prematurely call resump-
ton, bad in fact delayed the restoration
of a sound financial condition; and this
is true enough
The Sun says: 1t is not exaggera-
ton to say that $50, 200 persons from
New York and the neighboring cities
were in and around Union square and
in the streets through which the torch
light procession moved. There were
ten meetings. Those held indoors
were in Tammany Hall and Irving
Hall. The outdoor gatherings were at
Broadway and Fourteenth street,
Broadway and Fifteenth street, Broad
way and Sixteenth street, Broadway
and Seventeenth street, Fourth avenue
between Fourteenth and Fifteenth
streets Fourteenth street, opposite
Tammany Hall, and Fourteenth street
on either side of the entrance to Tam

record, Pennsylvania would be rccrc-
ant and ungrateful not to do just as
the vast number of changes of the votes
of her people that have been noted,

immense majority in November.
Pennsylvania should, therefore, also
be set down by the Herald as one of
the close States as well as Ohio, New
Jersey, Connecticut aud Michigan.
''If," as the Herald says, "the Demo
Gratis could count upon change of
popular opinion and votes in these
States, such as that which has taken
place in Maine, Democratic success
would be as good as certain" That
is undoubtedly true. But the Herald
has rarely been favorable to the Demo-
Gratis, and it does not now speak conf
IDENTIFY as it would speak did the signs
as fully and fairly point to success for

party cannot hold its leaders much less
its rank and file, and there never was

change the rulers of the national
government.

ship, became at once the mere creature
of his parry, owing no allegiance what
ever to the country, and not bound in
any way to recognize the rights of the
minority ON the contrary, he was to
be so thoroughly a partisan as to re-
fuse to recognize that they have any
rights whatever. The exact words of
his text to that part of his speech
were 1.-THE candidate of a party is
the exponent of a party, and, after he
is elected, can have no will but the will
of his party" There was during the
Grant administration clique of politi-
cal Bosses at Washington. chief of
whom was Mr.. Conkling, who convinc-
ed President Grant not only that he
should have no will but that of his
party, but also that they were the par
ty. The consequence was, that Presi-
dent Grant is held responsible by his
countrymen Tor great deal of polti-
cal iniquity which the clique, and not
he, were guilty Of. They would have
used President Hayes as they used him
could they have done so, and they are
now in too delicate health to take part
in the contest, because they have no as
surance that they can similarly use Gar
field.
The other notable point In this damag-
ing speech was the attempt to force

The present contest, as pursued by the
Republicans, had no better issue than
the IN ,st obnoxious form of sectional
ism. He waved "the bloody shirt" be-
fore his audience during one half OF the
four hours he spoke, and 1t was never
so bloody and never more obnoxious In
the eyes OF Intelligent men. One If the
causes which nearly destroyed the Re.
publican party few years ago was the
tyrannical spirit of sectionalism whioh IL
displayed. The north is tired of "the
Solid South" business; OF section set
apart from all the rest, and kept apart
IN large measure by Conkling incendi-
aries. The real interests of the South
and North ara identical, as every bust
ness man feels. Trade is conservative;
and trade demands y At II the war has
been over these fifteen ears and moe,
the bitterness of the strife shall be buri-
ed, and not kept alive TO make one part
of our people alien IN the markets and
homes of the other part. The South
and the North would have been together
long ago II il had not been for this
Conkling clique Of bloody shirt fiaunters,
who saw that real union of the Pc oples
would sap their individual strength in
politics. There has been overmuch Of
Mr. Oonklin and his set, and the opinion
is now pretty generally entertained that

Gen. Carfleld's Credit MobiIler
Record.

From his Gum StOorn Testimony before The
Poland Committee, Jan. IA, 1873.
! neUer ot0ned, received, or agreed TO re
ceiUe any stock Of the credit MobitieT. or Of
the linton Pacific RailrOdd, nor any diui-
dendS or profits arising from either Of them.
From Judge Potdnds Report. Feb. Is, 1873
-GdrJteIds Testimony Per5ured.
The facts In regard to Mr.. Garfield, as
found by the committee, are that he
agreed with Mr.. Ames to take ten shares
of Credit Mobilier stock, but did not pay
or the same. MIR. Ames received the
eighty per cent, dividend in bonds and
sold them for ninety seven per cent, and
also received the sixty per cent. cash divi-
dend, which together with the price of
the stock and interest, left a balance OF
1929. This sum was paid over to Mr.. Gar
field by check on the Sergeant at A rms,
and Mr.. Garfield then understood this
sum Uds The balance Of dividends dJter pay
ing Jor the stock.
From he NeU York Times, FEB. 10, 1873.
Messrs. Kelley and Garfield present IA
most distressing figure. Their partiei-
patton In the Credit Mobilier affair is com.
plicated by the most unfortunate contra
dictions OF testimony.
From the NetU York Times. FEB. ~, 1873.
The character of the Credit Mobilier was
no secret.The source OF It's profits was very
well known at the time Congressman
bought IL. Though Oakcs Ames may have
succeeded in concealing his own motive,
which was To bride Congressman, their
acceptance OF the stock was not on thar
account innocent. The dishonor OF the
act, as a participation in an obvious fraud
still remains.
Some of them have INDUCED in testi-
mony With reference TO the matter which
has been contradlcted. The committee
distinctly rejects ue testimony OL several Of
the members. This can only be done on The
ground that u is untrue. But untrue test
many giUen '0ider oath Is morally, u not
legally, perjury.
1t is the clear duty of Congress to visit
with punishment all who took Credit
Mobilier stock from Cakes Ames.
From he Mem York Tribune, FEB. 10, 1873
James A. GARFIELD of Ohio had ten
shares never paid a dollar; recei we'd 1879,
which, after the investigation began, he
was anxious to have considered as a loan
from MIR. Cakes Ames To himself
Well, the wickedness of all of II is that
these men betrayed the trust of the peo-
pie, deceived their constituents, and by
evasions and falsehoods confessed the
transaction 10 be disgraceful.
From The NetO York Tribune, FEB. %, 1873.
Mr. Ames establishes very clearly the
polntthat lie wac not alone in this offence.
" he is 10 be expelled for bribery, The men
Dho toere o'toed should 90 nth him.
