Special Dispatch 10 the N. Y. Tribune.
WASHINGTON. July 27.-Another colored
young man Will soon present himself as n can
dldate for admission TO the United States Mill
tary Academy. His name Is Lemuel W. Liy-
ingston, and he resides In Madison County,
Florida. II appears that before Colonel BIS.
bee, OF the Second Florida District, was admit
ted to the seat which belonged to him, Judge
Finley, the sitting member from that district
nominated white youth to the academy, and
he was found deficient on examination. Colonel
Bisbee, upon being requested TO I'LL the vacancy,
decided 10 havo a competitive examination,
and appointed board for that purpose. Two
of the members OF the board were Ropubii-
cans, two were Liberals and one was Demo.
crat. Three or four white and ono colored
young man presented themselves for exami-
nation. 1t was tho unanimous Judgment OF
the board that Livingston, the colorod youth,
had passed the best examination. Neverthe.
less, three members--a maiority-recom-
mended that one OF the white competitors,
who had not passed 80 good an examination,
should receive the appointment Colonel Bis
bee refused to adopt this recommendation
and SO on August % next Livingston, the
colored boy, Will present himself at West
Point. He received his education In the pub
lie schools and at the Stanton Institute, Jack

ford is the United States District Attorney at

Roscoes, and tho other a Mr.. Clark, who, Mac
veagh says, was his only appointment. Mac
Veagh regards his dismissal as a personal In
suit. Brewster shifts the responsibility toWood-
ford's shoulders, but retorts that Macveagh,
in his zeal to gain reputation In the Star
Route cases, dipped so deeply into the general
and secret fund OF the Department of Justice
that when he (Brewster) came into the Cabinet
the appropriation was nearly exhausted; |;
hence the reduction OF expenses which In

EngIand's Crime i'm Egypt.

London vanity falr, July To-
1t is not a "right" that has In this case been
prosecuted by force; for there is no right to
prevent the Egyptians from repairing and
arming forts In Egypt. The English nation
had received no injury, nor was 1t threatened
with any; there has been no declaration OF
war by the sovereign either with or without
tho assent OF Parliament; nor any equivalent
public act whatever by any competent public
person or body whatever. There is and has
been in short no war at all; and 1t
follows that there has been and Is
break the law "Thou shalt not kill" And this
law having been nevertheless broken We have
yattel's and Blackstone's authority for declar-
ing that what has taken place Is, by the law of
England, not war, but brigandage and muir
der. Every Egyptian who has been killed at
Alexandria has been simply murdered, and
for every man thus murdered the blood.guiltl-
ness lies as truly at the door OF every member
Of the present Cabinet as though they had
dubbed him to death IN London street.
Murder, too. 1t Is OF a particularly odious kind
deliberate, old-blooded and wrought by the
very strong on the very weak. Tho most
powerful armor-clad fleet in tho world has
and part OF another death and destruc-
tion, not against equal foes, but against
n socalled "enemy" whose smooth. bores could
scarcely reach and could never seriously In
Deaucamp Seymour or those under MIS- COM
mand are free from blame-no man is free
from blame who engages In an unjust war,
much less in an act OF brigandage-but the
chief, the overwhelming responsibility lies
upon those who, sitting at this end OF the wiro,
sent forth orders for the commission OF what Is
nothing less than crime. In that crime
every man is an accomplice who docs
not lift up his voice against 1t. And
We, for our part, protest against 1t,
and denounce 1t as most wicked and bloody
act. What answer the members of tho So
called Conservative party can make to their
consciences for their completely in, or for their
applause of this act, we know not. For us who
believe that the power and tho reputc OF Eng.
land are equally bound up with her resolution
TO enforce her own rights and to respect those
OF others, we liberate our soul by protesting
with all the energy OF which We are capable
against an act which will forever sully hoi

The proprietor s Of the Benton "P' Line of
steamers have so managed their shipping
interests (by refusing to make contracts for
delivering any large amount of private
freight) that they will be able this year to
bring to Benton several hundred thousand
feet Of pine lumber. The sBenton" on her
first trip made a starter and every succeed
ing boat of that line will bring q considera-
BILE amount of this much needed article.
That there will be a ready sale for every
board brought up no one doubts. The de-
mand for lumber in Benton this year is great
er than ever before, and the building season
has hardly commenced. This is a most COM
mendable move on the part of Commodore
Power and associates, which we trust will
prove to the m as great g iDancial. success as
it is a benefit to Benton. IF building material
had been plenty the past two years Benton
would now be a town of s, 900 inhabitants
instead Of half that number. This is her
greatest need but with the product of five
saw mills in full blast and a cargo on every
Power boat, not to say anything of what the
other lines will bring, this "long felt wants
should certainly be fully supplied the present
seagon.

SOME
season.

From the official report Of the Territorial
Auditor and Treasurer, a copy OF which has
been received at this office through the cour-
tesy OF Hon. D. 81. Weston, we compile a
few interesting statistics, we'll calculated to
show the progress made by Montana and the
various counties of the same the past year.
Statement No. / gives the following total
number and value of stock in the Territory :
Horses, So, ia, valued at SO. 4O6. 1928 cattle,
253, 40, valued at SO 694, ST. sheep, $780,
402, valued at $729 228 so. Choteau county
is credited with 3.2l2 horses. IS, $50 cattle.
and 19, 7O5 sheep, of a total value Of $780, 065
Meagher ranks first as a stock county, her
cattle and sheep interests leading all Others.
Choteau is next as far as the cattle interes 9
are concerned, but is led by Meagher, Beay-
erhead and Deer Lodge counties as to the
number and value Of sheep. Madison county
has the most horses. The growth of the
stock interests throughout the Territory has
been very great the past year, and the time
is not far distant, from the present outlook,
when Choteau county will lead all her sister
counties in this important Industry.
The total assessment Of The Territory for
1881 was s24. O4O. 800 80, as against S18. 609,-
800. 90 the previous year, an increase of So :
Al, 004. 30. This looks as If the 1881 boom
in Montana was a substantial one. Choteau
county makes up 1915, z38 of this increase.
The rate Of taxation in the. several coun-
ties last year was as follows: Beaverhead,
IS mills Choteau, Is mills Caster, %
mills Deer Lodge, II mills G .aatin, Is
mills Jefferson, 81 mills Lewis and
Clarke, IS mills Madison. 10 mills Mis-
soula, 81 mills Meagher, IA mills !; Silver
Bow, 90 mills.
The number of acres Of improved lands
is 424, 700, valued at So, ST., 646. 50 number
of town lots Z, l47. valued at So. $50, 772 10
total, Sc. 54s, AS so. Of this amount Clao-
teau county represents $3.50. 900.
The tables show there were 20 deaths in
the Territory during the year of which "a
are classed MS violent.
The Territorial debt was decreased 49,
O38 Al during the year 1881.
There have been $50 brands recorded in
The Office of the Territorial Auditor since
January 1t, 1881.
In every respect the report is indicative Of
progress and . healthy financial status. The
exhibit for 1882 will show even q moro rapid
growth, and especially will Chote u county
