Saturday night the Police Superintendent,
Captain Cain, was at the Olympic and was
there informed that man was in the wine
room, under the malign influence of benzine
to such an extent that there were fears of
his shooting or cutting somebody, as he was
thrice armed with two derringers and
dirk cane. Captain Cain sent for him to
come out to the head OF the stairs where
the Superintendent of Police awaited him.


He came out, and his first salutation to
the Superintendent was, "I want to slap
your tace." The Superintendent asked him
why. He was explaining in an insulting
manner, and was just on the point of max
ing hostile demonstration with one of his
implements of fighting, when Captain Cain,

Our readers will remember that in the
case involving the constitutionality of the
Metropolitan Police law, Judge Cooley
rendered a lengthy decision against the
constitutionality, and in order to prevent
his decision from being reversed
by the Supreme, or rather in
order to constitute himself the
Supreme Court, refused to allow an
appeal from his judgement. The counsel Of
the Superintendent of Police went to the
Supreme Court and applied for writ of
mandamus to teach Judge Cooley his duty
under the law. Lengthy answer was writ
ten and elaborate argument made by Judge
Oooley's attorney. But this morning the
Supreme Court, through Judge Howe, rem
dered sound and well considered opinion,
concluding that Judge Cooley was wrong in
refusing an appeal ordering him to obey
the law and grant the appeal, and condemn
ing him to pay the cost of the mandamus

How TO BEcoNE MiLLIoSAIRE.-The writer of an article in the Galaxy on the New York millionaises thus sums up what is to be done by man who would join the order:

 You must be a very able man, as nearly all millionaires are.

 You must devote your life to the getting and keeping of other men's earnings.

 You must eat tho bread of carefulness, and you must rise early and lie down late.

 You must care little or nothing about other mems wants, or saterings or disapPolnt- meuts.

 You must not mind 1t that your great wealth involves many others poverty.

 Ton must not give away money, except for material equivalent.

 You mus. not go mesndering about nature, nor spend your time enjoying air, earth, sky and water, for there is no money in 1t.

 You must not distract your thoughts from the great purpose of your life with the charms of art and literature.

 You must not let philosophy or religion eDgross you during the secular time.

 You must not allow your wife or children to occupy mnch of your valuable time or thoughts.

 You must never permit the fluctuations of friendship to inyeigle you into making loans, however small. You must abandon all other ambitions or purposes; and finally 10C must be prepared te sacrifice ease and all faEciful notions you may have about tastes, and luxuries, and enjoyments, during most, if not all of your natural life. If you think the game is worth the candle, you can die rich-some of you can.

In the last two issues ofthe Democrat
some five columns are devoted to sus-
taining the Majors peculiar theory, that
the Northern Pacific Rail Road project
should be abandoned, and the influence
of Montana thrown in favor of Branch
to the Central. His theory on this sub
ject will meet with about the same en-
couragement and popular favor as his
attempt TO have Montana organized as a
State. This last fusilade is formed upon
the debate in the Senate, occasioned by
Howard's reporting the resolution asking
for an extension of five years on the
charter of the Northern Pacific road.
The Democrat argues that this means
the indefinite Postponement of the
building of the road, while in reality it
means nothing only that the original
land grant would have become void, if
This resolution had not passed, and the
passage of the resolution, giving the
company an extension of two years from
the I'd day of July, 1868, with forty
miles of land on either side of the track,
double that ever granted any other rail-
road company, is one of the surest evil
dences that the Senate is favorably in
clined to the Northern Pacific, and that
the subsidies asked will be granted it
at the next session of Congress. The
Democrat compares it to the Central
road, and points to the delay of the Nor
thern road as an evidence of apathy on
the part OF the company. The Northern
road has never had any appropriation,
except a land grant, while the Central
has had a subsidy of S150,O00,0OO be-
side the land; 4. g. the government goes
security for the bonds of the com
pany, as fast as the road is completed
and accepted. The amount asked for
the Northern road is about the same.
The difference between having the gov

while if the company construct the road
upon its own issue of bonds, they inevi-
tably depreciate, are dull on Change, and
any misfortune to the company would,
if not suspend the work. at least render
probable its transfer to another com

The Independent does itself up in a
robe of gray" glory because we de-
clined last week to strike at it's shadowy
sOphistries, as it desired, and went after
the substance. The best way TO dispel
heat is to put out the fire; when shot
comes from battery, it is better to cap
ture and spike it than to spend time in
pulverizing the balls and analyzing the
iron to see if its component parts are
dangerous. The quotation was made,
knowing it referred to Mr.. Royce, but
nine in ten of the Independents readers
did not know it, and swallowing it for
pure Southern applejack, it would have
as exhilirating an effect as the order of
Ku Klux Klan. You make sorry
explanation of your joke. Why does
the Independent not explain the first
quotation of the two, ere it demands
why we did not quote its entire con-
tents2 The interogatory as to who we
would vote for was answered to the Ga

Colfax year ago, that "those who
love the flag shall rule the country"
meets with our fullest concurrence. Mr.
Rogers, holding his avowed opinions is.
to speak it mildly, at heart an alien to
the United States government. He did
not wait tor us to charge him so, but
avows it in every issue of his paper, and
while he is that, we hold that he has no
more authority to instruct Union men of
their duty, than Satan had to give away
the world when he offered the tempta-
Jion on the mountain. On this PROPOSE

about as tangible an idea as he has yet

us to decline" a controversy on such
propositions, but really we have too

We publish to-day, the call of George
w. Irwin, Chairman of the Republican
County Committee of Deer Lodge, CALI
ing for the election OF Delegates on the
9Th inst, to County Convention for the
nomination of candidates for county of
fees and the Legislature Although the
other counties are moving in the matter
Deer Lodge has the honor of making
the first call, and we urge the Union
men TO turn out and elect Delegates who
will go for practical, honest, and capa-
bic men. The unwise local legislation
of last winter has been made as apparent
to the miners of Deer Lodge as they
could desire, and we feel confident, that
although Deer Lodge is the Democratic
stronghold of Montana, Union selec-
ton can be made that will appeal to the
common sense of Deer Lodgers and send
a different delegation to Virginia this
winter from that which went last. We
hear the names of several pro minent
and talented men, mentioned for the
Legislature and hope that if chosen as
candidates they will defer any personal
desires and go into the field. But few
weeks intervene between this and the
election. Republicans of Montana new
e. had so fair prospect of success, and
the opportunity appeals to them for a
united and vigorous effort TO place men
in the Legislature who will meet and
combat any such partizan and unjust
legislation as that of last winter, which
was as disgusting to fair minded Demo-
Gratis as to Republicans. There were
members of that Legislature, capable
men, above the contamination of the
narrow selfshness that predominated.
We hope to see them returned and with
them fully as competent and liberal Re-
publicans, that the Legislature of the
Territory may not be a bye-word of de-
rision in the mouths of the people. 1t

down from Bear Gulch have been badly hoaxed.
They took the precaution, at the outset, to send

DISTRIBUTION OF WooD.-We are inform

as to the mode Of issuing wood to the poor

almost impossible to get their tickets
filled. Several have been knocked down
and injured in the attempt, and others
have left in despair. 1t seems that if the
wood were issued according to the date or
number of the ticket this might be avoided.
If the gentleman in charge would announce,
upon the arrival of the train, Athat (for ex-
ample) sail tickets from No. 800 to 975
would be satisfied, and none other" all this
confusion and loss of time would be
avoided. Last winter some women would
hold three or four tickets, and yet not get
a stick of wood. Thus the aged and fee
