presidents in the territory this year We're
all that way-and for these reasons the
RIVER PRESS took issue with the hon
orable returning board without stopping
to think that it was so reasonable an
offense that the august ruler of the realm
would get on his ear about it and pro-
coed to-Write a card.
When the right and justice of the
question is considered there can be but
one side to it. Mr.. Back received the
most votes, and it is not denied by the
returning that they were legal votes, and
where can be the justice of setting aside
the will of the majority and giving the
certificate to the candidate who was not
elected? Nobody but John w. Tattan
would close his head'' because a paper
took issue with him on this question and
stood up for what it believed to be right.
We had made nc personal issue of the
matter, a he in his supreme egotism
claims, and it was left for him to make
the first display of long ears. This is
all we care to say On the subject, but we
hope the honorable and high-minded
gentleman will continue to amuse us
with his very entertaining cards.

n Best Speech.

Cork, Dec. 1sth.-Parnell, in a speech
yesterday, said he would always oppose
any attempt Of the Government to land
emigrants in a hopeless, penniless condi-
ton on the shores of America. If En-
gland desired to promote the emigration
of Irishmen, let them be placed on land
in America and provided with houses
and means to raise a crop the first year
of their residence. He advocated a re-
lief for the thickly inhabited districts,
by purchasing for the people vast tracts
of grazing land in Ireland, which were
peopled before the famine. There was
no reason why they should not be peo-
pied again.

THE KING CAN DO NO WRONG.

John w. Tattan, the very honorable
and particularly high and mighty John
w. Tattan, the Big Chief, carded his or
gan last night and in his usually pleas
ant and gentlemanly style when engaged
in his favorite role of card writing, ar
raigned one of the editors Of this paper
for presuming to criticise y he action of
the returning board that counted out III.
S. Back, the joint councilman elect, and
of which board the right honorable gen
tleman wa a member. This is the gray
amen of our offense-to have dared to
differ in opinion with John w. Tattan.
In other words, the king can do no
wrong, and it is high treason to think
that he can.
AS to questions of honor or integrity
we will not barter words with Mr.. Tat
tan, as his proclivities as q half-cocked
card writer are too well known, and
whatever he may say weighs but little
in the balance. Some of his former
cards are still fresh In the memory of the
pCOplCo ASClttA buS WC SuUIlllU III tllC
reader hat all that has been said by the
RIVER PRESS in reference to the action
of the returning board was in the strict
line OF newspaper criticism, and devoid
of personalities. IF we were mistaken
in the statement that the certificate of
election was given. to Mr.. Hamilton, the
same error was committed by MI, Tat
tan's organ, as the following from o re-
cent issue of that paper shows: s.
The returning board to canvass the
vote for councilmen met yesterday, and
as no abstract Of the vote of Dawson

tificate Of election was issued to Hon. A.
b. Hamilton.
The position taken by the RIVER

In the territory Irregular returns had
been received by the respective return
ing boards, and that without exception,
save in the case under consideration,
they were accepted and counted. Had
they beensrejected in many instances
the verdict of the voters would have
been set aside because, forsooth, some
petty official had not observed the regu-
lar form in making out the abstracts.
We had the opinion of w. b. Hunt, Jr.,
Mr.. Backs attorney, that the returns
from Dawson, while not in the regular
form, were sufficient, and that the de-
cisioas in this territory and California
sustained such q view certainlysthe

A LETTER FROM NH. r. c. POWER.

We take pleasure in reproducing th.
following letter from the pen of Mr.. T
G. Power, refuting some of the f1imsJ
charges made against him during ane
after the campaign. It was published
in the Herald of the Goth:
Isee blythe weekly Independent of the
23d ult. that my name was used falsely
in connection with the half breed vote.
| wish to state for the benefit of the In
DEPENDENTS informant, that I am inter
ested in various places wherein a num-
Der Of men are employed throughout the
territory, and am proud to be in position
to challenge any n to show or prove
that [ asked any employee Or any one of
those connected with me how be was
going to vote.
Can the Independents informant, who
caused his men to come to the Marias to
vote TOR Major Maginnis, or quit work

hundred miles from their homes in Min
n~esota), sly as much?
| do not own OR control Mr.. Juneaux's
! post any more than one merchant con-
trolls another by selling him goods. Mr..
Juneaux and the half breeds were the
first settlers in the vicinity of Fort Ma
ginnis, and it seems to me only fair that
some of the people on the borders should
have been allowed to vote for Mr.. Botkin
if they thought best.
Because they did SO choose to exercise
that privilege, | understand their. vote
was thrown out by Choteau county as
half breed vote. Had they voted on the
olher side there would not have been
even q question of citizenship.
In another article the matter of kill
ing cattle by halt breeds is mentioned.
In this charge there seems TO be a Wilful
misunderstanding of the difference be-
tween intelligent half breeds and IN
dians. While cattle men have suffered
more or less from depredations Of the
latter, the former have always been con-
sidered q protection, and with this view
have been invited to settle on our from
tier.
Please pardon the dragging up of this
election business again after so. many
days have passed, but having been at
tackled in my absence, and unjustly ac-
cused, / must defend myself. Thinking
people begin to see that their right of
suffrage has been tempered with. The
success of one scheme of this kind will
naturally develope others-railroad tax
subsidy for Montana.
/ think the day is near at hand when
the party lash will lose its force, and
honest, square dealing will mark the
road that leads to success. Then the
successful party viii not find it necessary
to besmirch others, that all may look
alike. Very respectfully.

AN URGENT NEED.

A gentleman who lives a few miles
from Benton told a RIVER PRESS man
the other day that the worst fault he had
to find with our town was the absence
of any place where a man could spend
his evenings. His words were, "What
are you goingto do when you get here?
You can't sit around q hotel all the eve
ming. Well, you go down town and
can't find anything OF any. place to go
except azsaloon. You may know every
man in town, but not one of them will
ask you to call on his family or with him
on acquaintance. And this is not only
the experience Of outsiders, but I am
told it is the same with young men liv-
ing in town who have no homes of their
own. As a consequence, they go to sa-
loons-forced to go, almost-and then
the good people of the town say they are
wild. and dissipated, when the fact is
that If inducements or opportunities
were given them to pass their leisure
time in different and better society eight
out of every ten of your young men
would keep out of the saloons. It's a
shame that your citizens are not more
sociable, or that you have no library,
reading rooms, or something of that
character, and / for one, though notliv-
ing in town, will willingly contribute
my share towards the establishment Of
something of that character if any per-
son will take hold and get itSup. Your
people subscribe liberallyto charity, help
people who are needy, ard build hospit-
ais, but you seem to forget that the most
fl ting objects of real and practical SYM
pathyare the young men in your midst"

THE latest talk about the plans of ex-
Secretary Blaine is that he and Logan
have consolidated their interests and
will push Gen. Sherman for the presi-
Dental nomination in 1884. In case
they are successful in nominating and
electing Sherman, Blaine is to be secre-
tary of state and Logan secretary of war.
This will do until the fertile newspaper
man gets up some other story.

THE RIVER RES

His remarks are respectfully referred for
the consideration of those who can help
to work a change in this respect. Some
time ago the RIVER PRESS advocated
the establishment of a library and read
ing room in town, but its remarks at
that time have as yet borne no fruit.
But we still have. hope that some seeds
will fall on profitable soil, and that the
near future will witness the establish3
ment of something of this character.

Briggs and Frank Mccoy discovered cave, in
which were discovered the skeleton Of man and
deg. Undoubtedly this hole in the mountains
had been the home fthe man, who was doubtless
hermit The skeleton of the dog was securely
fastened to the wall by n chain, which was locked
around his neck. He had evidently been the sole
companion of his master, and had died with him.
The bones of the man were lying on some pine
boughs in the darkest corner of the place.
by his side was revolver of a curious make,
which was rust eaten and worthless With this
weapon the man had doubtless destroyed his life,
as there was large bullot-hole through the GEN.

almost us thin as paper, was upon the little finger
OF the right hand. The inside bore the initials,
