Pure Malignity

Pure Malignity.
A valued pastor of one Of our smaller
churches, some years ago, was forced to
perform the painful duty of presiding
over his Session in a-judicial case involv-
ing the integrity Of one of his elders
The elder was deposed, and an appeal
having been taken by him to Presbytery,
the decision was confirmed. The pastor,
after remaining with his charge tor some
time, for reasons altogether unconnected
with this case, (for his whole church was
devoted to him) felt it to be his duty to
his family to resign his charge; where
upon, it was threatened by the daughters
Of the deposed elder that if they could
prevent it, he should never be called to
another field. And faithfully have they
fulfilled their threat.
Whenever they hear of the prospect
Of his settlement anywhere, forthwith
they write, or cause to be written, let
ter of warning to the church about to ex-
tend call and Immediately all negotia-
tons mysteriously cease. Thus one Of the
most godly. and we might say without
exaggeration, one of the hottest of our
ministers, and one of the ablest preachers
IN our Church, has been almost driven
out of the vineyard by pure malignity.
We make this matter thus public in or
der to caution our churches, and to let
the misguided persons who have been the
agents of this persecution know that they
are watched, and will be exposed if need
be.
Pure Justice"
l. The elder referred to aOas not deposed
by the Session. The Session decided to
drop the matter" The elder COM
planned of this action to the Presbytery,
and his complaint aOaS sustained. In
view of the alienation of feeling existing
in the Session, the elder was advised by
Presbytery, without implying censure, to
cease to exercise his functions as an elder,
and he did so. He was then Treasurer
of the Presbytery, was retained in that
position, and his repeated offers of resigna-
ton were not accepted for more than a
year. He Is now an acceptable and
honored elder in a church in the same
Presbytery, and has neUer been con-
sidered or treated by his brethren as a
deposed elder.
2. Positive assurance is given us that
no letters have been written or caused
to be written" by any member of said
elders family at any time, to the injury
Of said pastor, as is charged above.
The author Of this correction is a minis
ter Of our Church His name will be
given to any one who desires to know it.,
and he holds himself personally RESPONSE
bic for every word Of it.

The Condition oil tane County.

The assessment OF the taxable property
of Choteau county for this year, amount
cd to $2,250, 600, Notwithstanding the
fact that the County Commissioners cut
the assessment down nearlya half mil
lion dollars. For instance, sheep were
assessed at the rate Of $3 per head, and
were reduced to 81 per head. Cattle were
assessed at the rate Of $40 per head, and
were reduced to $l5, and in fact almost all
the raises of assessments made by the
Assessor were cut down by the County
Commissioners. The difference in cattle
alone amounted to almost d quarter OF a
million of dollars. The rate OF taxation in
this county is II mills. At the rate the
property in the county was assessed, viz.
at So for sheep, and $40 for cattle, which is
no high estimate, as we venture to say
that you could not go anywhere in Cho-
teau county and buy either sheep at 93 or
cattle for 500. Considering that this is q
fair estimate why net reduce the rate Of
taxes to Il mills instead Of cutting down
the assessments. People in other coun-
ties who are looking for places to put their
cattle and sheep will hesitate before they
will come into Choteau county and pay an
increased rate of taxation. Reduce the
rate OF taxation instead Of cutting down
the assessment when you find that you are
going to have more money than you
want.

cur Public Buildings

Choteau county needs new court
house and an application should be made
to the Legislature this winter for the ena-
bling act that a new court house can be
built. The present court house property
| can be sold and the county is well able to
expend the money needed in addition to
the proceeds Of the sale Of the present
court house to put up a building that
would be an ornament to the town. With
the throwing open Of the reservation to
Milk river will come settlers and there is
bound to be town spring up somewhere
down the river that may make efforts to
get the county seat and it is not unlikely
they may have the population to eut-yote
us. With substantial county buildings
that are permanent there will not be so
much danger Of losing the county seat
This suggestion may seem somewhat pre-
vious, bat we believe that a somewhat
similar thing has occurred in the brief
history of this Territory, which is just as
likely to occur again, viz: the moving OF
the capital from Virginia City to Helena.

The establishment Of Sisters Hospital
here can be effected now, with o little
exertion among cur citizens and we know
Of nothing more necessary. Hardly day
passes that some one is not brought in
from the country with broken limbs or
suffering from some disease which, through
want Of proper care they too often die
of. Father Camp, who has recently arri-
we'd here. states that he is in communica-
ton with the Order, and that the estab-
lishment Of Sisters Hospital can be eG-
fected here If the citizens will only co-ope-
rate with him. We feel sure they win do

In the summer hardly u steamboat ar
rives that some one aboard Of them is net
a subject for medical attendance, which is
OF very little use unless administered in
connection with care and attention which
no physician has the time to give. At the
same time we wish to call the attention OF
the public to the Importance of having a
Sisters School established here. There
are plenty Of children living in the coun-

some cases because they have passed be-

them aG the school in their neiahhorhood
and because there is no schools within q
reasonable distance. They cannot send
them here rs there is no place for them to
live. With ! Sisters School, and under
