The Governor and the Railroad BlII.


In Governor Carpenters editorial,
which appears IN the Helena Herald of
the 19th inst, he tries TO excuse himself
for pocketinc the railroad BILL which re-
ceived the support of about two thirds of
the members of both houses, and Was
placed in the hands of the Governor
early enough, and there was ample time
for His Eacelency to have returned the
bill to the House, with his objections
thereto, especially as it would seem that
His Excellency was quite familiar with
the bill ard its provisions the day before
il reached him, through the regular
channel, and it was currently reported
on the street that the Governor would
not sign the bill more than that, the
distinguished Speaker of the Houee,
who was an avowed enemy of the meas
IRE, not because of It's conflict with the
organic act, for he never even alluded to
such conflict in the debate in which he
took leading part in opposition to the
bill, but because the friends and pro-
iectors of the road could not acceed to
the demands Of that gentleman, and
agree to extend the road BY and to yir
ginia City, the town in which the gentle-
man lives, which wonld be very circuit
Gus route, and necessitate the building of
sixty miles Of extra road. After the bill
had passed the House, and before it had
passed the Council, this same gentleman
stated publicly that "he would see that
the Governor put that billin his pocket.
and that it should not become law.
This was the true situation, and It seems
10 as the plain square bns mess like way
to dispose of the matter, was 70 either
