TIL f SENATE.

1t Breaks up ia Good Order and With
Good Feeling all Arc und.
The senate of the second legislative as
sembly of Montana adjourned some time
after midnight, with all proper decorum, and
with the utmost good feelings on the part
of everybody, aud with HI usual closing-a
prayer by Chaplain Price. The late hour
of adjournment was caused by the judges
and land commissioners appropria-
ton bill. There was no horse play,
though in the last half hour. while waiting
for twelve O'Clock, and having nothing else
to do, Senator Goddard was called to the
chair, and several resolutions sent up and
read to the amusement of everybody. The
usual committees were appointed to notify
the governor and the house of the fact hat
there was nothing else to do. and while they
were performing that duty the senate did
nothing assiduously. The day, however,
WAS a busy one at the three sessions, and it
was by industrious application that the
files we're cleaned about ten O'Clock.
During a lull in the proceedings at night,
| Lieut.. Governor Richards called attention
to the fact that the constitution required
the senate, before adjourning, to elect a
president pro tenn. Senator Hedges at once
nominated Senator Thornton for that
honor. There was h chorus of seconds,
and Senator Goddard took the floor. For
the first time in my life" he said, II am
about to participate in the nomination of a
democrat. There is nothing that | can do
with greater pleasure, as l am satisfied he
will bring to the chair all the necessary
ability and dignity" There were no other
nominations and tho ballot of the senate
was cast for Senator Thornton by Secretary
Fallon. Senator Thornton showed consid-
cradle emotion when he arose to return his
thanks for the honor. II am profoundly
from my brother senators. had hoped
that some other gentleman whose term ia
longer than mine would be selected for this
position. did not anticipate any further
honors ut the hands of this body. The
senator from Yellowstone has said some
things which please me greatly. Durin z
the sixty days That the gentleman and my
this not for tho sole purpose of returning
his COMPLIMENTS have entertained for
him the sameifeeling which he has for me.
All are awarelof the troubles which existed
at the beginning of the session. Let me
say that to hA efforts, consideration and
ability is dne' in u great measure the settle
ment which was effected. No gentleman
deserves more credit for that settlement
than Senator Goddard. To each and all of
my brother senators l say that ms the time

their good will. and to all Of them l have

The Penitentiary.

BY the indefinite postponement of the
p~enitentiary appropriation bill, and the
bill for letting the care of the prisoners out
by contract, the care and maintenance of
the states prisoners remain with Conley u
M%cTague. While the passage Of the ap-
preparation bill would have been wise, since
the accommodations for prisoners are linn.
tied, yet in the hands of these trusty men
the prisoners will be safe, and they will
make such temporary additions as to in
sure their safe keeping. in order to event
ually obtain the care of he prisoners,
Messrs. Conley IL MoTague will consider it
to their advantage to continue the good
record they have made, and there is III
doubt that they will do it.
