THE SEpoND MORTGAGE BONDS.
An Injunction to Prevent Their Issuance.


NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-H. a. Anderson, of
Wall street, has obtained an injunction pre-
venting the issue of Northern Pacific second
mortgage bonds. 1t is understood the Nor
thern Pacific bond syndicate consulted the
best legal talent obtainable before taking
steps toward issuing the new second mort
gage bonds, and stated that no injunction
can stand under the charter of the company,
If three-fourths Of the preferred stockholders
consent to the issue of it.
Three suits were brought against the Nor
thern Pacific Company to-day by Dunning,
Edsell, Rowland & Fowler, by Anderson 4
Rowland. The object Of the suits Is to pre-.
vent the issue of the new second mortgage
bonds. The ground taken Is that the origi.
nal act of incorporation prohibits the com.
pany from making any mortgage or issuing
any construction bonds without the consent
Of Congress.
Congress gave its consent in 1870 that the
company might issue. construction bonds
and secure them by mortgage. Under that
consent Jay Cookies mortgage was made
which was subsequently foreclosed. The
position taken by the plaintiffs is that the
authority of Congress once exercised wa.
exhausted and could not be repeated. Ar
order to show cause why q stay was granted
in two suits and the argument will be heard
November 1st. Officers Of the company say
the suit was brought by F. ]. Bradley, who
says the holders Of common stock are of nc
importance. He asks the company to be en-
joined from issuing bonds, or making mort
cages until Congress gives consent. Thi.
consent was given long ago and Bradley ha!
no standing. He had 200 shares of common
stock transferred to him Saturday to brin:
the suit.

ELIGIBILITY.

Referring W . paragraph In last weeks
issue, In which the question Of eligibility 10
the Constitutional Convention was consid-
cred, . correspondent this week submits the
section Of the United States statutes placing
certain Limitations upon:eligibility, and gives
the legal definition Of the word coffee"
It Is upon the question Of whether or not .
member of the Constitutional Convention IL
holding AZ aoffice" that the determination Of
eligibility in several cases rest. The Re-
publicans Of Lewis and Clarke have nomi-
mated U. s. Marshal Botkin, and the Demo-
Gratis In several counties have placed on
their tickets members Of the Legislature
whose terms have not yet expired. The
term OF DIR. A. II. Mitchell, Of this county,
still continues. Without assuming to give q
legal opinion on the subject, we believe q
membership In the Constitutional Conven-
ton is an "oflice" clearly and unmistakably,
and that United States officers and members
of the Legislature are ineligible. It Is true
the Resolution providing for the Constitu.
tional Convention declares that "said Con-
"vention, when assembled, shall be the sole
"snd exclusive Judge OF the qualification
"and election of Its MEMBERS" and there
might be no personal disposition TO raise the
question Of eligibility against member by
reason Of the above cited causes. Neither
would the legality Of Its proceedings be i'm
paired II they were admitted, nor does the
result Of its proceedings have any further
legal significance until approved at genera
election than as document prepared unde
certain conditions for the consideration ant
action of the electors of Montana. But I
would not be q very .creditsble start for
body conveRed to frame q Constitution TO
the State of Montana to ignore the United
States law defining who shall not be eligible
TO perform that duty. We shall regret yer,
much II the determination Of this question
which we understand Is being looked into b.
attorneys, is against the eligibility Of th
persons mentioned, as there are some excel
lent nominations of that character made, blu
1t appears 30 clear that we take this early op
portunity Of directing attention to 1t tina
tickets may not be sent out which will hav
to be Withdrawn.

CURIOUS STORY.
A Rumor That Willard Has Been Asked to
Resign.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. ia Chronicle
special from Chicago says the Tribune's Phil
adelphia special says: Rumor has it that
Willard has been asked to resign the Presi-
dency Of the Northern Pacific, and has,
doubtless, some foundation in fact as basis.
1t Is said that Drexel, Morgan g. Co. were
not favorable to the retention of Willard
as President. They were not satisfied with
the way in which he has managed the finan-.
ces Of the company, and admitting that
money was necessary to pay off the floating
debt and provide means for the prosecution
of further work on the road and Its branches,
they did not desire to have anything to do
with the bend issue, unless they could have
= new man TO conduct the company's affairs.
They propose, 1t is said, to form syndicate
which would take at . fair figure the entire
$20,0O0,0OO Of second mortgage bonds, on
condition that Willard should resign ana A..
]. Cassatt, late Vice President of the Penn
sylvania railroad, be made President. Cas-
sat-, 1t Is said, agreed TO take the position
should II be offered to him. The plan met
with decided opposition from Wizards
friends, aud the matter was finally compro.
missed by allowing Willard another year of
management Is the executive of the CON-
pany. 1t is now very Improbable that Cas-
salt will ever become President Of the Nor
thern Pacific railroad, as the indications
strongly point to his election, before another
twelve months, to the Presidency of the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad. President Roberts
has been In i'll health for some time. He Is
not robust, and the duties Of President of .
trunk line are exceedingly wearing. In view
Of this fact railroad men, and those closely
identified with the Pennsylvania interest,
aver that be will soon be compelled to re-
sign, and that bis successor will undoubtedly
be Csssatt, who, only month ago, was
elected to the Board Of Directors.

General Pryor on O'Donneli.


LONDON, Oct. 2l.-General Pryor, O'Don-
nell's..American counsel in an interview said
he was satisfied O'Donnell killed Carey in
self. defense, and 1t would be proved beyond
q question at the trial that O'Donnell went
to Africa with no design of killing Carey,
and was unaware of the latter's presence on
the steamer when he embarked. Carey, &C.
cording to Pryor's theory, finding himself
discovered, provoked quarrel in order to
anticipate the blow which he expected
ODonnell, as Irish, would strike. Man.
slaughter, in Pryor's opinion, was the ut
most of which O'Donnell could be found
guilty. Every effort is being made to bring
witnesses from Cape Town to England. 81

The memorable journey across the CONT

main line, IN ended. Our American and Eu-
ropean guests have returned to their homes.
They agree with me that just as the transcon-
tinental excursion never was and never will
be equalled in point Of numbers, character,
and interest, the demonstrations of popular
good will, warm sympathy, and genuine Joy,
to which it gave rise from the Mississippi to
Puget Sound, can never be surpassed. We
rode, as IL were, on rising tide of popular
enthusiasm from one end Of the road to the
other. Beginning with an extraordinary, al
most overwhelming, outburst In the twin
cities Of St. Paul and Minneapolis, 10 APP
peared to gain in intensity as we moved
westward, untilit reached lis climax on the
Pacific coast In Portland, Tacoma, and Sc
attic.

pressing TO the inhabitants Of the cities and

people at large Of Minnesota, Dakota, Mon

The Rich. of Way in Montana.


HELENA, Oct. 1.-THE Helena and Jeffer-
son county railroad Ia having some difficulty
with ranchmen along the line about the right
Of way. For great part Of the way the
road runs up narrow valley, in which many
ranchmen have located. So narrow Is the
valley in places that the new road practically
takes all the arabic land, and the ranchmen
naturally want high price for tn, land,
while, quite as naturally, the railroad wishes
to pay the least amount possible. Some time
ago commission was appointed without
notice to the ranchmen, to sppraise the land.
The ranchers commended that notice was nee
essary, and an argument was held before
Judge Wade, who decided that notice was
not necessary.

OVER THE RANGE.

Our Republican neighbors over in Lewis
and Clarke had quite time determining who
should be the nominee for Delegate at
Large from the Third judicial District. The
issue lay between w. F. Sanders and T. C.
Power, and the Convention for several days
stood 8 to 8. Finally Thos. A. Cummings,
Of Choteau, appeared on the scene and by
his vote nominated Mr.. Power. 1t was al
legged Colonel Sanders was In the interest Of
the Northern Pacific railroad and should
therefore be excluded; on the other hand
that Mr.. Power was some kind Of q river
transportation man that should be shut out.
This was all bosh. II was personal fight
against w. F. Sanders, . fight that, unfor.
tunately for himself and the Republican
party, he has invited. Colonel Sanders
would have been in Congress long ago II It
had not been for the wire-edge on the ora>
torical sword with which he Glove In twain
his Democratic foes. Rather than let It fall
into disuse he has turned his verbal weapons
at times against Republicans and has made
enemies who have fought back. 1t Is human
nature to do this. But: Eminently and pre-
eminently Is w. F. Sanders qualified for a
member of the Constitutional Convention.
Both he and Mr.. Powers should have been
sent there. Our neighbors over the range
have made public mistake by yielding To
personal feeling.
I Secretary Isaac d. McCutcheon some
weeks ago, at the suggestion of Governor
Crosby, rendered his resignation, 10 take ef
| feet October 31st. Governor Crosby recon.
mended as his successor Geo. G. Randolph,
Esq, of Butte, competent and we'll quail
fed gentleman whose appointment would
have been very satisfactory in Montana and
who would have honored the Office as much
| rs 1t honored him. The President, however
perhaps from the fact that Mr.. Dewitt, Mr.
Randolph's partner, had already been ap
pointed U. S. District Attorney, did not ap-
prove the recommend alton and has appointed
John S. Tooker, Of Lansing, Mich, to the
position. Mr.. Tooker Is about forty-three
years of age and has been q merchant II
Lansing, taking considerable interest in pol
tiles. He has been member Of the Michi-
gan State Senate. It looks Is though thii
was concession to Senator Conger.
Helena papers this week mention the res
ignation Of Il. Z. Fisk IS postmaster at Hell
ems and the appointment Of Il. Brady Will
kins. the private secretary Of Governor
Crosby, to the position. Captain Fisk, II
mentioning his resignation, says 1t was who'll!
voluntary, the salary Of $4,000 not justifyinl
him In retaining the position to the neglec
of the Herald business. Some weeks sgt
Postmaster General Gresham issued an orde
requiring postmssters at first aud secon'
class Offices, TO which latter list Helena be-
longs, to give personal attention TO their Of
fees. The Herald interest doubtless pay
better than the postoflice, and Federal ofiic
holding Is precarious servitude anyhow.

THE COUNTY TICKET.

The Democratic Convention which met
last Saturday to nominate county delegates
to the Constitutional Convention voted down
motion TO appoint committee Of confer.
ence to meet the one appointed by the Re-
publican Convention, to consider the matter
Of joint ticket. We hardly understand
this, Is every Democrat with whom we had
conversed prior to the Convention, favored .
Joint ticket ON the basis the Republicans
were willing to concur In. 1t may have been
the political action In Lewis and Clarke and
Silver Bow counties influenced the Deer
Lodge Democratic Convention, but 1t should
not have done 80. It was the Intention Of
the Republican committee TO offer the name
Of o. B. O'Bannon, ESQ.,, who especially BY
his familiarity with the questions concerning
public lands in the Territory, would have
been an invaluable member, and one whose
place cannot be filled from any other county
or district. .... a....#a. Ma.
In view Of the Democratic action, but one
thing remained for the Republicans TO do
to nominate straight ticket. In selecting
Mr.. Whitehill his excellent legal quallfca-
tions we're considered. and he accepted, not
withstanding personal considerations urged
him to decline. Morgan Evans Is one Of the
most Intelligent and worthy men Of the
county and representative man Of our agri-
cultural interests. Mr.. Perkins, Superinten-
dent Of the Hope Mining Company, Philips
burg, 10 representative Of the mining
interests, and Is one Of those clear headed,
practical business men whose presence In >
deliberativs body 10 always 70 be desired.
All OF them are men ~ splendid character,
and the committee In presenting their names
to the psople, feel proud Of their selections
We have nothing TO say disparaging OF the
Democratic nominees, nor do We propose 10
make this political fight. We think their
Convention made . mistake. We present
the names OF candidates We believe worthy
OF support by oil men. Examine the tickets
aud vote for who yon deem best qualified and
worhiest Of your suffrage.
