The Butte Inter Mountain gets
greatly excited, not to say abusive, over
its alleged discovery that Gov. Hauser
has gone to Washington to secure an
extra session of the Montana legisla-
ture. We hardly credit him with SO
little sagacity. II he wanted to secure
an extra session he would go where the
Inter Mountain goes for its instructions
to Anaconda.

The oath TO support the Constitution or

ciamatlon that Jefferson Davis was Presi-

then administered to Mr. Stephens. and

his staff was the present Office of

exactly opposite that of Clerk Pleasants's.
President Davis usually reached his office
about O'clock in the morning, and, If no
business of importance detained him. left
it about O'clock IN the afternoon. But
these hours did not ALWAYS measure the
sam OF his days work. Often he was in
conference with the heads of departments
at his home until late In the
night. and frequently. when the armies
were around Richmond he would ride out
on the lines. 1t is not necessary to go into
details of his lite here. Indeed. that
would be impossible. AS time wore on his

deepen the gloom that was settling over
