UNDULY EXERCISED.

The following letter was given to the
public through the medium Of the Liv-
ingston Enterprise last week and is a
mild sample of lot with which our
local banks have been flooded during
the past two months:
Boston, Dec. 10, 1851. Messrs. Steb
bins, Mund & Co., Livingston, Mont:
"Gientlemen-In view of the writer's
personal acquaintance with your Mr..
Stebbins We take the liberty of writing
to You about your Gallatin county bonds.
We purchased some ofthem through our
Chicago house. The bonds are made
payable at county trcasurer's or in New
York city at option of holder The cou-
pons are stamped payable at Kountz
Bros, and are the first coupons the
county hes defaulted on. Messrs. Kountz
Bros. decline to pay for want of funds,
and understand that the county refuse
to pay kountz Bros. the usual fec for
doing business for the county, We have
been waiting several months for the
county to pay, but now fear that the
county propose to repudiate their con.
tracts. Do your citizens belong to that
class? Please investigate and inform
us. We have not been able to secure
any satisfactory reply from your county
officials, S, our Chicago house inform us
Yours truly, W. II. HARRIS & Co.
Regarding the above, we learn that
the money was sent to Kountz Bros,
in New York, when it was due, and re
turned by the bankers because Harris &
Co. refused to pay the bankers costs.
The county treasurer had no authority
to pay the cost Of transmitting this
| money to redeem the bonds. and in
consequence the first quarterly payment
was returned and now awaits its owners
| in bank at Bozeman. The coupons, it
true, are stamped payable at at Kountz
Bros, New York, but this was done
without authority from the commission
ers, and, as Treasurer Sloan would be
without voucher should he send then
to New York, he rghtfullv refuses to dt
so. In the meanwhile, Harris 4 Co,
are wasting an unnecessary amount o
money and time IN writing letters tt
various parties, in which they stigmatiz
the people of this couty as "repudiators.
The coupons are made payable il
Bozeman and when Harris & Co. gd
ready to receive them hero they wi
promptly be paid; but at the presen
time Mr. Sloan is not laying himsel
open to after claps.

why such abandonment should be gen.

Hon. Kute Nelson, congressman of the
fifth district of Minnesota, has conclud-
ed to drop politics and retire to the
shades OF private life. 1t was Mr.. Nell
son who did so much toward getting the
right of way for the Rocky Fork & Cooke
City railway through congress, con-
summation for which the people of this
section feel very grateful, and they will
be generally sorry to see Mr.. Nelson
step from position he has filled with
snrh marked ability. Mr.. Nelson is a
republican and, parajoxical as it NAV
seem, is Il strong free trade man, which
of course is distasteful to his party in
Minnesota, and would place him in a
very embarrassing position next fall,
during campaign in which republicans
are going to oppose free trade doctrine,
merely because the democrats are in
favor of it,-should he continue in poll
tics. From an intimate acquaintance we
know Nelson to be an able statesman,
who has devoted his life to the study OF
matters relating to this government, and
his endorsement of free trade is not
made on the spur of the moment, it
means that he has given the matter his
earnest attention and has sconscientiously
followed his convictions.

1t is mare than probable that the re-
cent destructive fire in Bozeman could
have been checked without great loss
had the fire apparatus been in proper
condition, yet it must be apparent to all
tina. the present fire machine is made
quate 10 the demands of the city. AT
the time the hand engine was purchased
the CHRONICLE recommended that
slight addition of money be raised and
steam engine purchased. The expense
of maintaining such an engine is no
greater, and the results in the event of
large fire more satisfactory. We call to
mind small steam fire engine in town
the size Of Bozcman that proved itself
to be invaluable within few months.
During the day the water in the boiler
was kept warm by a heater supplied
with wood by the marshal, while at
night the nightwatchman supplied the
fuel. At the alarm of fire the light
machine was quickly pulled out by hand,
match applied to the oil soaked fuel
and by the time the fire was reached
steam was up and ready to tear the
shingles off the roof. Several members
of this volunteer company were instruct
ed how to run the engine, and one of
their number was appointed engineer by
the company. The engine did good work,

A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

The departed year has brought many
blessings to this section of Montana and
the new, apparently, has an increased
number in store for the favored few of
Gallatin valley. Our crops have been
abundant and business in all lines cor
respondingly great. The reaction which
followed the building of the Northern
Pacific railroad to this valley, and its
train of stringency caused by the mis-
taken idea that everyone was speedily
to become wealthy. without reasoning,
has passed into history, and our farmers
and business men are now rapidly adopt
ing the plan of true business principles,
with the purpose of making small, steady
and reasonable profits; not to borrow
from the future to pay for the luxuIies
of the present on the strength of imagin-
able booms. We have now gotten down
to hard pan and, with all paid up, ready
to advance again. In no other country
could the inhabitant recover SO speedily
and 50 well; but this is country of
great possibilities. The new year is here
and with their own money in their
pockets, the lessons of the past three
years will not be forgotten nor ignored.
The wonderful crops of 1887 show what
can and will be done in this direction

Christmas evening, calm and holy.
with the oder of balm which the conse-
Grated day of seven. always yields in
gracious influences, settles over the earth
like benediction. Was there ever such
a Sabbattical Christmas? When the
carols and inbilate dcws blending to-
gether lose in hoteR of joy and happi-
ness to the one who ushered into our
blightel earth the grand occasion for
the anthem. GLORY to God in the high
est, on earth peace and good will toward
men.
How many, many times since then
and to how many hearts has the star of
Bethlehem shed ray of peace diyinc
over dropping, despairing human life.
The conscious beam lights up the with
cred cheek of age, it r.diates the sunny
brow OF youth. 1t diffuses itself in the
great throbbing heart of humanity, and
prompts to acts of kindness and gener-
osity, for the time social, party and even
national lines seem to be obliIerated and
one common thought prevades all. The
soft, beamiug star has guided the world
as 1t did the masi of old to the infant
Savior; following down the long vista of
years, though often pathed in blood and
tears, but still resplendaEt with its
heaven appointed lustre the star
still lights the earth with its mission of
love.

it closes the volume of each succeeding
year would extend one more gracious in,
vitation to our race, the panorama of the
scene from the manger to the cross ia

am saddened that the closing year
has also closed the record of 80 many
lives which were repleto with usefulness

emptied of their treasurers, stand by the
grave of departed hopes and loved ones
rejoice that nature has opened hel
hand in blessings and crowned the yeaI
with abundant haryests that the white
dove of peace folds her wings over oui
vast republic that there have been very
many persons this year who have gwen
their hearts in response to the call Of
