Let us seehow It looks: Hon. VIM
Owsley, Mayor Of Butte.
We f;'rbear commenting upon the re
ported crM,kedness in the first ward I'm.
til We are in possession of all the facts Of
the case. 1t is openly stated, however,
that Mr.. Newkirk would have been
elecie.lit the hoard Of judges had been
consistent in their decisions.
If the election could have been post.
poned three or four days and the Inter
A0umt,;m had issued few more morn
ing editions after the style If its Monday
mornings issue. Mr.. Owsley would
have received ut least fiss hundred ma
jority and the votes for the Democratic
candidates for Alderman would have
been doubled.
A substitute to the bill to organize the
Territory Of ALASKA was recently intro
ducesl in the United States Senate by
Mr.. Butler. 1t provide, for q Legisla.
tive Council and Delegate to Congress,
makes Sitka the seat Of government
and p rmits ali male citizens, Including
civilized Indians, to vote.
1t is stated that an informal agree
Met has been reached hy which the
three phases Of tie proposition f"r the
enforcement Of lalscsl r'ilrmd grants
in charge eslective!y Of the Judiciary,
Pacific Railroad and Public Lands
Committee, will I've submitted to the
Hou,e withO It rec commentator.
1t has been claimed that combinations
have 'e.n formed between the Republi-
cans and .liS;.:Iected Democrats through
Out the Southern States that would
wrest that section from the Democracy.
The recent municipal elections in North
Carolina show that rs FAR rs that State
il concerned the boosted coalition has
no strength. The Democracy swept tn:
State by handsome n,ajorities in every
city.
Secretary Of tho Interior Teller said
to u correspondent recently he should
proceed cauti usly III the management
Of Indian affairs, and not attempt any
abrupt changes Of policy. He docs n"t
favor un immediate disrul,tiO of tribal
relations, even il it were possible to Sc
cure it. H. believes in their settlement
upon farm lands in sevcraIty, when the
Indians arc sufficiently advanced to
render the S,'cc.sss Of such n plan prOir.-
bic, but that, he says, is not vet.
The recollection OF w A. Z. Ryan is
brought forward in Washington spe-
tial tO the later OccuM, April 18th, stat
ing that his neither, Mrs. Eliza Dunno.
had secured favorable report in the
Senate on bill to ply to her pro ruta
Of the indemnity fund paid by the gov
eminent Of Spain on account Of the muir
der OF the officers and crew of the
Virginius at Santiago de Cuba, Nov.
4. 1879. ''Nhack" Ryan was well
known in this Territory from 1866 to
within short time before he went to
Cuba and was there shot for supposed
connection with the Cuban revolution.
A Chicago dispatch Of the 9th brings
the following intelligence which LDrtlers
on the CHASTITY ludicrou>: A horrible al.
fair is reported from Georgia. A gang
Of Que hundred State convicts, chained
together, were being transported on
platform cars Ell route for woOd cutting.
The train stopped ut station, portion
Of the gang getting off the cars still
chained fast To th.se On beard. The
train started sud.lediy, and those who
had got "ff being unable to get on the
cars, were dragged over rails and ties
for some distance feet foremost. Six of
the umiOrtunateA were I'D badly mangle(l

says, The Malone element in Virginia
has lrrn further recognized by the
President by the nominations sent to
the Senate to-day. John $. Wise, who
is nominated 10 lie United States Dis
trict Attorney for tn" eastern district Of
Virginil, il son Of ''Old Governor
Wisc," and ran for Congress two years
ago. He voted for Grant rs against
Greeley ia 1872, and is now Demo
craft. Iseatlj,'ster. Rutledxe Z. Hughes,
the nominee for United States Marshal,
for the same district, is the clerk of the
court IT Mecklenhurg county. and il u
Republican Kcasljust-r.
