JAs. I. YUILt. -- EPITOI AND PTIL lUITER ISSUED EVERY SATURDAY SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1874. S"Bubseribers ordering a paper changed from o*e address to another must give naame ofpostoJice to elhich it has been sent as well as that to tehieh it is to be sent. -The Telegraph Line has been down south of Helena all week--or else Baxter has seized the offices. -The publication of the Laws of the Ex- tra Session of last yealr appears to be in- volved in some doubt. A letter from Mr. Geo. Callaway, Auditor and acting Secreta- ry of Montana, to Mr. HI. S. Clark, Clerk and Recorder of Deer Lodge, states it is not known when they will be published. There is no appropriation for the purpose and the measure for that purpose is meet- ing with opposition. We presume however there will not be any unusual delay in pub- lication of the acts of the recent Regular Session. -The Chicago rnter-Ocean article on the National Park is a more sensible one than most of the Eastern papers have found room for. Generally they are so mixed up with "jobs" that they cannot hear the word "appropriation" where they or their local- ity are not especially interested without violently assailing it on the theory that it is a fraud. lHoade should be built to and in the National Park. Then responsible parties will take leases and protect the curiosities. We d:, not think it requires even the larger proportion of $100,000 to do this well and sufficiei!tly. But unless ye ask of Congress ye will not receive. So Mr. Langford has asked $100,000. If $25,- 000 or $30,000 were judiciously expended, every portion of the Park could be made easily accessible in carriages and the people of all nations rea ch readily the wonderland of the world. -Governor Wm. B. Washburn, who was elected Senator to succeed Sumner last Friday by a compromise coalition of the Dawes and Hoar strength, will hold the Senatorship until next 4th of March. iHe has probably less ability than either of the Ather opposing candidates ; but he is a gen- tlei an of eminent respectability and integ- rity of character. Possessing those attri- butes and the confidence of Massachusetts, the Legislature probably thought it best to elect him for the unexpired term in prefer- ence to widening the breach which at pres- ent exists in the Republican party of Mas- sachusetts by strengthening either wing with the Senatorship. If there is not exhuberant exultation, there will be no profound regret, the interests of the State ill be faithfully represented, and as a Washburn Congressman seems an inevita- ble consequence when there is one in a State, Massachusetts has, at worst, only yielded when resistance were in vain. . ....... -- .... ..- - THE GIDDINGS-UPHAM TRIAL. The case attracting most att':ntion during this term of court is that of the parties indicted for frauds at Blackfoot Agency. Agent Ensign forfeited his bail and did not appear. Messrs. Hiram D). Upham, trader, and Chas. E. Giddings, who had been assisting Agent Ensign, were tried last week on the charge of conspiracy to defraud the United States. The jury after being out a short time returned a verdict of "Guilty." This was not generallyexpected its the prosecution had not made nearly so formidable a cse as at the previous term, when Mr. Upham had been convicted on one charge but Messrs. Ensign and Giddings had escaped on another. The practice relating to such trials ahadl,- v,- been t ablbsheid inu~cTheire were less doubts effeting the procedure. Mr. Clagett had also beeil placed on the stand and made a statement of the confession that Mr. Upham made subsequent to his former convic- tion, which, although ruled out by the court on motion of the defense as inadmissable - evidence sustained the thei-ory fthe fruds perpetrated upon the Government as argued at the preceding term. The morning after the verdict Messrs. Sanders, Shober and Napton for defendants moved an arrest of jmdgmentwhich was overruled by the court. They then made a motion for a new trial, one of the grounds of which is that one of the jurors had expressed an opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the defendants before he was sworn in the case. This juro i"s Mr. Thos. Warren of Yamhill, a gentlemi n wlho stands high in the commu- nity whe~o he hats rsided for uprightness and inteeity -of ,oharaeter. The counsel for defendants visited Yamhill, procured 'fldvitsui relatiou to the mater which we understand is alleged to have transpired some months ago, and filed the same in court. District Attorney Page was then allowed time to file counter affidavits, which we learn he has procured, although at this writing they have not been filed. The court has further caused sunbpcnas to be issued" to bring the persons making the affidavits into court for personal testimony and examination, and thus the matter stands at present.' It is belidved the hearing of the affidavits and testtinmny on this' point will be'heard to-day (Saturday). CAaS oi OFTUB EA5x.

" The expansion of the vol. i o c l a se a again•t Montana." Words to this effect were uttered• n our hearing a day or two since. The averment is suggestive. There is no doubt that the amount of money in the United States is inadequate to the purposes of commerce, industry, and development. Under the cir- a cumstances and conditions, it is especially trne of the South and West. To remedy j this deficiency there are in the United States three methods. One is to increase the amount of national paper currency, which is, under the National Banking sys- I tem, a better medium for business purposes than specie; another is to establish a free banking system; and a third is to increase the product of gold and silver. This latter is the method of solving the financial ques- tion hinted at in the remark. Without entering into discussion of the relative mer- its of the several methods, the question presents itself, why do not those Congress- men and their constituents who favor so earnestly a coin basis and the return to specie payments, advocate measures which will augiment the product of those metals which they claim are the only true money -- gold and silver. President Grant in his first inaugural declared in favor of unlock- ing the gold and silver mines of the West, "the strong boxes of the nation," as he expressed it. Mr. Raymond in his official Report for 1873 on Mining Resources says "the mineral resources of our northern "belt are as vast and varied as those of any S" other part of the country." A very im- portant part of these mineral resources are gold and silver. C Now, it is not only a reasonable proposi- tion but it has been demonstrated beyond question that the product of gold and silver is greatly stimulated and augmented by the extension of railroads into the mining re- gions. In evidence: the product of Col- orado and Wyoming in 1869 was $4,000,000; of Colorado, alone, in 1872, $4,661,465. Nevada in 1869 produced $14,000,000, and in 1872 produced $25,548,801. Utah in 1870 produced $1,300,000, and in 1872 produced $2,445,284. This increase is to be accred- ited to tile facilities of travel and transpor- tation afforded by the trans-continental railroad and lateral branches. During the same year the product of Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington, where no trans- continental road has penetrated, has de- creased from $10,000,000 in 1869 to $10,- 764,209 in 1872. The product of placers, which can be worked with small capital, is decreasing, and will continue to decrease. A material increase of product will only occur when an east and west railroad en- ables quick travel, low transportation and cheap labor, thereby encouraging the devel- opment of the more permanent mining op. erations by greater capital in quartz and bar mines. We have shown that the bullion product of the region traversed by the U. P. and C. P. Railroads was increased from 1860 to 1872 to the amount of $13,- 355,550; during the same time the region on the projeeted line of the Northern Pa- cific Railroad decreased $8,235,791. The product of the two localities named was about the same in 1869. The northern belt is undisputably the richer of the two in precious metals. Therefore the deduction is fair that the existence and non existence of a central and northern line of railroad has made a difference of over twenty-one and a-half millions dollars in the product of precious metals, or about one-half the currency was expanded by Congress. And yet, with these incontrovertable facts; with the East bitterly opposing expansion of the currency and clamoring for a return to specie payments ; with the government paying more for freights and the mainten- ance of military posts and sustenance of Indians than the interest on the entire amount of money required to complete the North Pacific railroad ; withl the facts fresh in memory of the alleged enormity and im- I mense value of the land grant to the N. P. Co., we see those same Congressmen and 1 journals intensely hostile to taking back tihe lands anld guaranteeing the bonds that will 1 build thile road rapidly and make up in gold and silver in six years thile whole ami unt of increased currency asked by and conceded to herentire South and West. The incon- sistency is so apparent tllh't it is reasonable 1 to expect a more favorable hearing of the 1 case when it has been presented to Con- gress than has so far been indicated. Yellowstone Eiedition. From tlie Courier. April 17. To. Hon. John P. Bruce: SIR-Since my last report no word has come from the Expedition. Mr. Rouse, who wasdispatched with mail for the command, returned on Tuesday last without having reached it. He proceeded to a point some 30 miles beyond the scene of Colonel Baker's fight, and there meeting a party of Crows who informed him that the command was on its way back, and not feeling it wise or necessary to go farther, as he believed our men had passed by on the opposite side of the Big Horn and would reach Bozeman before him, he returned. There can be no foundation for this Indian ieport, as the command could hardly have reached its destination, while, had disaster occurred to it a courier must surely have been able to reach us with the news. There is no occasion for alarm or anxiety, nor foundation for the reports in circulation in Helena. As Mr. D. E. Rouse is due here from the Expedition, and may be expected now at any time, it is deemed advisable to delay a few days before sending out another courier. As an illustration of the result to follow the success of the enterprise, letters from intending emigrants are being constantly received, and yesterday the Secretary received a letter from the agent of a party of 25 stock raisers, who desire to come here from Pennsylvania with capital to invest in'their business. Believing that we shall soon have word direct from the :command,. I ato, for the Committee, J. V. Boonaar Secretary and Treasurer. BoazuaxA, April 16, 1874. Mr. Elisha Roupe, the messenger die patched some two weeks ago to the head- quarters of the Yellowstone Expedition, returned to ntdis paeeMonday, havingfhled to reach his destination. He went down the Yellowstone beyond the place where .Baker had a fight with the Inianas, where hie met four Crow Indians seming up.- On amnkiennqi ries regading the xpedition ha wasled by the Indiaus tobellis~ethat it had :retrsed or: the opposite sdedfC the ilrer.-Ifr.

Parties g4ig over the ocea shouMl be warmly clothed. The steamers are always coaled. There art now hardly 10,000 Americans in Paris, a smaller number than there has been at this season, it is said, for twenty years. A Delaware mani committed suicide sim- ply because some one left a basket and a baby on his front step. He was afraid his wife would object to step-children. It is estimated that the clergy of the United States costs annuimally $12,000,000; the lawyers, criminals, prisons, etc., $90,- 000,000, and intoxicating liquors, $1,474, 000,000. A resident of Delta, Iowa, writes to the postmaster-general: "If you don't git some one to run this 'ere post offus party soon it'll be throwd in the river, for I'm going off on a bear hunt and can't fool any moar." A sporting gentleman observed on the door of a house the separate names of a physician and surgeon; and facetiously remarked that the circumstance put him in mind of a double-barrelled gun ; for if one missed, the other was sure to kill. Speaking of the half-naked statue of Washington, which cost $50,000, in the East Capitol Park, Grace Greenwood wittily says that his outstretched arm points re- proachfully toward the glass cases in the Patent Office, where hang his much desired habiliments. The Chicago Post and Mail is responsible for the assertion that when a reporter called to see Mr. Storey, of the Times, to ask him if he had shot Dr. Johnson, the old man replied: "Young man, do you think I am d-d fool enough to do it in time for the evening papers ?" The coming poet in Napoleon, Ohio, war- bles:- " T:s midnight and the setting sun Is rising in the wide, wide West, The ral id rivers slowly run, The frog is on his downy nest; The pensive ghost and sportive cow Hilarious hop from bough to bough." The report of a conversation between Prince Bismarck and Herr Maurus Jokai, which has been going the round of the papers, is now pronounced to be apocryphal. and a pure invention. Especially the Prince disclaims the contemptuous remarks upon the French character imputed to him. He never (he says) compared the French to "copper-colored Indians." Mr. lljalmar Hjorth Boyesen in the April Galaxy tells us, by authority of the ortho- graphic sufferer, how to spell the name Tourguenef; now if some one, say Bjornst- jerne Bjornson, would kindly tell us how to pronounce Hjalmnar Hjorth Boyesen's name, we should feel less tired when we saw it. We have a kindly feeling toward the old darkey who got over his difficulty with patriarchal names in his Bible reading, " I call them all Moses, and let them go." The New York Post is carefully watching the debates and votes on the financial ques- tion, and has discovered that while Mr. Schurz and a few others are always on hand for a big talk, they manage to be absent when the decisive votes are taken. The Post complains especially of the conduct of Senators Schurz, Sherman, Thurman, Ed- munds, Fenton, and suspects that these wily politicianshave heard "suthin' rumble" in the rural districts. s; *Protection for the Yellowstone Park. a From the Chicago Inter-Ocek•. it It is pretty certain that the Yellowstone i Park, a section of about 4,000 square miles zf north of Salt Lake, is destined to become e the great American sanitarium and pleasure- e resort. Something is already known h of its wonders-its hundreds of boiling geysers, spouting water high in air, its petrified forests-huge trees turned to d beautiful traslucent crystal from root to 1e branch-its yawning cations, equaled only 11 by the canons of Colorado, its mountains d and caves, lakes and waterfalls. >f Having set apart this great area for d national pleasure and recreation, the gov- ernment i bowunhLtaprotect it Asuperin. le tendent was appointed two years ago, we e believe, without a salary, but no dollar of 1- appropriation has ever been made to render the park accessible, or to restrain the vandals, who already visit it in large num- bers, from marring its picturesqueness. As a result of the neglect arising from this ill- starred economy, some of the finest parts of the park are already sadly mutilated. Ls Superintendent Langford says: During the past summer many of the il most beautiful formations of silica, the del- icately-tinted stucco and arabesque of the borders of the springs, have been broken off d and carried away. The parapets of sinter e surrounding the "Castle" and "Old Faith- ful," and the symmetrical cone of the "Bee-Hive," have also been much defaced by visitors to the park. In a field of natural it wonders so vast in extent as this, it will be s next to impossible, without moneyed aid, e to prevent spoliation. The only method by which this wholesale destruction can be d prevented will be by leasing portions of the park in the vicinity of the principal objects n of wonder to interested and trustworthy e persons, who will see to it that no spoliation takes place. This can be done, of course, only after e the government has constructed roads to it, e over or through the eastern spur of dhe r Rockys from the Union Pacific. Professor Hayden, United States Geolo- gist, says: e There are two classes of springs in the x park, calcareous and silicious, or those whose waters depoit lime, and those which deposit silica. The Mammoth Hot Springs, on Glrdiner's River, are calcareous, and v very readily restore any damage that may Sbe done to them. I am informsed, however, that visitors ride their horses over the deli- cate edges of the pools, and in other ways I are linjuring them 'to a frightful extent. y These springs are the most wonderful of e their kind in the world, and deserve imme- diat potection, The reproductive agencies at work in many portions of the park. will, in a few d y n, restore the broken borders of many fthe springs, if tihe Bowing water. is prop- erly turned upon the injured part; ;but the attention necessary toocompllis this wifl be given ily) by pereoisi avig long leases. These facts tend to demosnostte the neeseity for a reaeonable appropriation to Sprelere to the nation this beautiful park, with its great physical curiosities. I AHairs m POt.wLwmsow "G.

Lad if their services are necessary to preserve the peace he will call upon them. Baxter's Attorney appeared in court to- day and moved to set aside the judgment of yesterday, and the motion will be argued to-morrow. Late this evening Baxter issued a procla- mation declaring Pulaski county to be in a state of rebellion, and proclaiming martial law, calling out the militia to suppress the rebellion. Simultaneously with the issu- ance of the proclnmation, Baxter, with a force of two hundred men, marched down town, toote quarters at one of the hotels, and posted sentinels along the principal streets and around the State House, where Brooks is ensconsed, with two hundred men armed with muskets, and with two cannon. Baxter expects reinforcements from other counties to-morrow. He says the Attorney General's dispatch is satisfactory. All he wants is non-interference by the General Government. Baxter has taken possession of the telegraph offices, and exercises com- plete censorship over all dispatches, and has issued a proclamation announcing his intention to take the State House and re- establish his authority. LITTLE ROCK, April 17. - During the belligerent movements last night Colonel Rose, commanding the U. S. Arsenal, brought a company down, stationing them at the corner of Main and Fourth streets, and sent word to each side that while he had no orders to interfere on behalf of either party, he was directed to prevent bloodshed. Early this morning, there ap- pearing no prospect of trouble, the company returned to the Arsenal. In the meantime Baxter has issued another long proclama- tion reiterating his determination to re- possess the State House at all hazards. WYASHINGTON, April 17,-The Secretary of War telegraphed to the commanding officer at Little Rock not to interfere in any manner with the troubles there, unless it be absolutely necessary to preserve the peace. It is generally believed that the President will approve the order of the Secretary of War. He has instructed the officers at Duvall's Bluff to proceed to Little Rock to investigate the report that Baxter had seized the telegraph office, in order to pre- vent Brooks' party from using the wire, and to see that telegrams to and from the General Government were not interrupted. Postmaster-General Cresswell telegraph- ed to the Postmaster at Little Rock to de- liver all mail matter addressed to Governor Baxter, or Baxter, Governor of Arkansas, to Baxter, and all similarly addressed to Brooks, to Brooks, and hold all letters ad- dressed simply to the Governor of Arkan- sas, for the preseut. LITTLE ROCK, April 17.-Judge Wheelock to-day overruled the motion to set aside the judgment in the Brooks-Baxter cases, but sustained the motion to correct the record to show that demurrer was submit- ted without Baxter's knowledge or his counsel. Gen. P. T. Dockery has been ap- pointed by Baxter Military Governor of the city, and has issued orders for enrolling citizens. The leading citizens have issued an address to the people of the State urg- ing them to sustain Baxter. The United States troops occupy the U. S. Court room in the center of the city, and will preserve peace. LITTLE Roca, April 18.-The Baxter forces have been increased by the arrival of about 3,000 men from Pine Bluff, Wash- ington and Batesville, and have surrounded the State House so as to cut off supplies. Brooks has sent recruiting officers out. Three hundred of Baxter's reinforcements are colored. ST. Louis, April 18.-The Democrat has a special from Little Rock via Duval's Bluff. Having been at Little Rock, they assert that Brooks is in receipt of assuran- ces from every point of the State that the people will support him. HIe holds the Court house with all the government offices, all records, and the great seal of the State, and is supported by all the other State officers, by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, with all the leading men of the Conservative Democrat and Republican parties, while Baxter has appointed his military officers from the Bourbon Demo- crats. Brosks' position in the State HIouse is guarded by 300 men and two pieces of cannon. Tha Election of Washburn. BosToN, April 17.-After the 32d ballot to-day for Senator, resulting, Dawes 82; Hoar 75 ; Curtis 69; Adams 19; Washburn 10; Banks I2; scatteling i, ta recess was taken, during which the Dawss men ballot- ed for a candidate other than Dawes, and Loring received 36, Washburn 14, and the rest were scattering. The Dawes men then made several propositions to the Hoar.men, one for a union on Loring, and one more ballot and then adjourn until to-morrow. All these propositions were rejected, and on the re-assembling of the convention a motion to proceed at once to ballot was carried. After roll was first called then began an immediate change of votes, last- ing nearly half an hour, and the result was announced, as follows: The whole vote, 267; necessary to a choice, 134. Wm. B. Washburn 150; Curtis 64; Dawes 26; Adams 15; Loring4; Banks 10; scattering 3. The President then declared the election of Washburn-and prorogued the convention. Dastress in Louisiana. WASHINGTON, April 17.--Governor Kel- logg, of Louisiana, telegraphed to the President to-day, asking the Government to issue rations to the people of Louisiana rendered destitute by the late floods. The President replied that he did not feel justified in giving such orders while Con- gress was in session, but will send Kellogg's dispatch to the Louisiana delegation, and 1 gladly carry out any resolution that might be passed by Congress. Miseelslneus. Naw YORK, April 17.-It appears that the reports of the prevalence of small-pox on Blackwell Island are the result of a con- spiracy of Tweed's friends to have his sub- jection t discipline different from other convicts. The convicts confess that their eruptions were caused by croton oil. The orderly of the hospital has been dismissed. A Havana letter says it :is rumored that Concha intends to spare the life of Dockery as a matter of eoiutesy to the 'United States. IRuzme, N. C. April 17.-A private dispatch this evening reports that Bald-and Stone Mountajns ar alslainag the adjacent counties with their rumblings, and that the rusblingrisnnuch more serious than at any time previous. ;ew$tlsaj conddently ex- pet an eruption.

Berros Naw Nmea•-wsr :- I have noticed in your last number the reply of Walter W. Johnson tomy communi. cations of March 14th and 21st in regard to West Side surveys, and certain corrup- tions and abuses that had prevailed in the surveying service of the Territory. My duties as Clerk of the District Court, now in session, prevent me from replying at present to Mr. Johnson's article. I merely wish at this time to notice the public declaration of Mr. Johnson made in this town within the past week, that the report of the United States Grand Jury, emphatically pronouncing his surveys "a nuisance," had been made at my sugges- tion. This is unqualifiedly false. I had never mentioned the subject to any member of the Grand Jury, and had received no inti- mation of the report they intended to make, until it was presented in open Court by their Foreman. Every member of that Grand Jury will bear me out in this state- ment. My exposition of the frauds and abuses of our surveying service is by no means concluded. At my earliest leisure-next 4eek, if possible-I shall pay my respects to Mr. Johnson's reply, and probably pre- sent to the public further proof in support of my original proposition that the people of Montana-especially of the West Side- have been defrauded and cheated out of the proper and legal surveys to which they are justly entitled, and for which generous ap- propriations have been made from year to year by the General Government, by a cor- rupt Surveyor General and unscrupulous Deputy Surveyors. O. B. O'BANNON. Deer Lodge, M. T., April 23, 1874. FROM MIBBOULA. "Truthful" 'Gives the Directors' Ver- sion of the School Question. BDrros n1w NORTa-WsT:-- Many obtain a sort of greatness at a sin- gle leap; others have that sort of thing thrust upon them; while still others are known through the medium of their writ- ings. A LITTLE ORIEF. Now, we have not achieved any great amount of fame through this medium, but have, instead, burdened ourselves with a large quantity of that unenviable compound, notoriety. Since the appearance of our last letter our experience has been painful in the extreme. The vicissitudes and trials of ye typical editor would be a sort of Par- adise in comparison with our tribulations. We have been interviewed and re-inter- viewed, applauded and censured, until the thing has commenced to become a little mponotonous. We will therefore request a little of your valuable space, as well as the time of your readers, while we unfold to an astonished world A NEW PHASE of this much vexed school question. But, at first, will say that, at the time of writing that article, we assuuredly represented the sentiment of a large proportion of the tax- paying population. The surrounding cir- cumstances warranted the article, and, in a similar situation, we would reproduce it 'verbatim." And we know, as do all who know us, that during the time in which we have been corresponding for the NEw NORTH-WEST we havealwaysendeavored to show up matters in theirtrue light,and do not at this late day wish to be understood that we would willingly misrepresent any case from personal motives or feeling. From this reason, and as a matter of justice to ourselves, do we give THE STATEMENT OF THE DIRECTORS a place in this letter. Mr. Edwards, one of the interested parties, states, in contra- distinction to our article, that the lady teacher was informed of the proposed change in the school management, and was fully aware of that fact before the question of a special tax levy was finally agitated; and that, moreover, he himself, as well as the other Director, consulted the larger portion of the citizens in regard to the feasibility of the proposed change, and that they had ex- pressed themselves as a unit in its favor, (which little fact was not generally known until after the appearance- of last week's letter,) and that he, alone, is responsible for the coming of the gentleman now in charge of the school, having spoken to him upon the subject some time previous to the action of the Board in the premises. He thereby, in a measure, relieves the teacher from the odium of having schemed to sup- plant the lady in her position. The gentle- tuan, himselt, also informs us that he had no idea of applying for the vacancy, and that only when the subject was broached by the Directors did he give the subject serious consideration, which assertion on his part raises him in the estimation of many. But the fact of having accepted the situation at all under the circumstances, and after and in view of the feeling that has been expressed, will operate powerfully against him for a season, although it is hardly probable that such feelings will withstand the action of time. This winds up this question so fkr as we are concerned; for by thus giving place to Lhe statements of both Directors and teadrer, the other side of the question, never before illustrat- ed, is fully represented, and those inter- ested and acquainted with the circumstan- ces are at perfect liberty to draw their own inferences, and avoid any future misunder- standing. Missoula is happy at present in the posession of two schools, conducted on the latest and most scientiflc principles- both free and apparently well attended.

IGWATIUs OLal0N. Tb Agent's Bide of the Case Prsemaated., ansr O aw HNo•r-rwsr- Referring to an article published in the daily Independent of the 10th inst., under the caption, "Closing the School at St. Ignatius Mission," allow me to state that the schooL was first established on the 26th of August, 1863. After being in operation some thirteen months it was discontinued with the approval of the Commissioner, because the results obtained did not warrant the expense (See Report of Commissioner of Indian Affairs 1865, Doe. No. 81). It was, however, discontinued for only a short time; and $1,800 per annum was paid by the Governn:.nt, till 1872, since which time $2,100 per annum has been paid for the education of the Indians. Now, when Major Shanahan suspended the school recently, he was not actuated by any bad motives against the Mission. In histeport to the Commissioner under date of March 31st., he says: " I have also suspended Joseph Bandeni, Sister Remi and Sister Paul Wiki (teachers) until the 1st day of July next, on account of the limited means to the credit of the Agency ; and with the view of making the deficiency as little as possible, I have retained only those employes whose services are indispensible. The employment of ex- tra hands for the purpose of building Agency improvements, and no extra funds being placed to my credit with which to pay them, has necessitated this action." It is a well-known fact that Major Shan- ahan has built up an entirely new Agency in his one year's stay; that the improvements are appreciated by the Indians; that the benefits derived certainly compensate them for two or three months suspension of the school at a time of the year when scarcely any boys attend the same. Now when "Dio " says "The discontent and mistrust engendered among the Indians by this high-handed act are somewhat im- portant and may yet result in trouble to the people of Missoula," he certainly does not know what he is talking about. Let him examine the Indians and half-breeds thoroughly in regard to the school and their feeling about it and he will probably get his eyes opened. At a council held here on the 13th and 14th inst., with all the chiefs, they urgently requested the Agent to open a school at this Agency, in accordance with the treaty, saying that after so many years not one of their boys.could be found who could intelli- gently read or write the English language. We know that the Indians of this Agency were never more peaceable than at present, and if any troubles should come up hereafter, it will be easy to trace them to the source. Let the Department "saddle the right horse" without the burthen of extraordinary expense. K. JOCKO AGENCY, Mf. T., April 15, 1874. Items from Virginia City Papers. Montanian, April 16th. The Utah and Montana stage route is probably in a worse condition now than it has been at any time since 3348 B. C., when Noah took his live stock in out of the wet.

There is a fair amount of rich ore out in the district ready for the stamps. Black-tailed deer are said to be plentiful on the foot-hills just now. They have probably come down from the snow range to grass, "that thrift may follow fawning." A letter from Rt. Rev. D. S. Tuttle, of this Bishopric, announces that the Rev. J. G. McMurphy, now resident at Sheboy- gan Falls, Wisconsin, has been assigned to the Rectory of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in this city, and will arrive here some time in May. Also, that Rev. H. II. Prout, the present Rector, will be stationed at Salt Lake City, Utah, as Chaplain of the Hos- pital which is being managed by the Epis- copal Church of that place, as we under- stand it. Judge F. a.

The ice is rotting rapidly. The river is clear at Fort Sully, but gorged fifteen miles below there. The Tribune will be enlarged to an eight page paper next week. There will be a through passenger train between here and St. Paul, this summer. Thare is one hundred and fifty tons of freight for Montana merchants waiting here for shipment by first boat. Give us fast boats and the passenger trade will be sure to come this way. The summer time table for the whole line from St. Paul to Bismarck, will go into effect about the first of May. The com- pany has arranged, during the past winter, a complete line of connections with Mon- tana, both for freight and passengers, and is already assured of a large business with that Territory. Immediately on the open- ing of the Missouri river the company will put on its line of nine boats, to run between Bismarck and Carroll, the latter being a new town established near the mouth of Little Rocky river. By river, Carroll is said to be about four hundred miles below Fort Benton, but a wagon route has been opened direct to Helena, by which the dis- tahce between Carroll and Helena is said not to exceed,200 miles. A large quantity of Montana freight, coming eastward, has already been con- tracted for, included in which is one thou- sand tons of quartz. Sudden Death of Job E. Harvey. Last Saturday morning Messrs. George Wakefield, E. M. Dunphy and Job E. Itar- vey left here in a wagon, for a "prospect" on the Gravely Range. When nearly at their destination they came to a steep hill, and Dunphy and Harvey got out to walk. Dunphy being a little in advance, Harvey began to run to overtake him. After run- ning a few rods he stopped and exclaimed, "I am sick," and immediately fel to tlhe ground, face downward. His companions ran to him and raised him up, but hie began to vomit and then had a fit. They did what they could for him, but seeing that he was getting worse they placed him in a wagon and drove to Richardson's ranch. Before reaching there he had breathed his last. From the time of the first attack to his death, was about two hours and a half. His remains were brought to this city, and buried by the Odd Fellows, of which Order he was a member. Mr. Harvey was well known in the Territory, especially in Deer Lodge and Gallatin counties. Hlie was a worthy, industrious and energetic man, and had many friends. lie was about 45 years of age, and came to Montana from Oregon. He was at one time a member of the Lower House of the Legislature of that State, rep- resenting Yam Hill county. The coroner's jury found the cause of death to be con- gestion of the lungs, caused by heart dis- ease.--Independent, 21st. Another Montanian Importing Stock. We notice by the following, that Mr. Buck one of the enterprising merchants of Forest City, M. T., is investing some money in fine sheep. Vermont is famous for its fine sheep; but we belief the day is not far distant when the high, and healthy slopes of the Rocky Mountains will feed the best flocks on the Continent. From the Vergenses Vermonter, April 4. On Friday morning last, Mr. C. F. Buck, of Montana, formerly of Pittsford, shipped a car load of blood sheep, numbering one hundred and thirteen, for the eastern part of Washington Territory, some 250 miles up the Columbia River. They were selected from the choicest flocks in Cornwall and vi- cinity, and are of superior quality. This is the first lot of Vermont sheep shipped to that locality, we believe. The distance from Vermont to their destination is 4000 miles, and Mr. B. expects to reach there in about five weeks. Mr. Buck is a fair sam- ple of go aheadativeness so inherent in the Eastern man transplanted to Western soil. He left Vermont many years since with all the world before him, and could retire from active business to-day, if he had a disposi- tion to, and live comfortably; but he is a real live man, full of snap and enterprise, and is helping manfully to build up the Great West, now his home.

    ISSUED EVERY SATURDAY

    SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1874.

    S"Bubseribers ordering a paper changedfrom o*e address to another must give naameofpostoJice to elhich it has been sent as wellas that to tehieh it is to be sent.

    -The Telegraph Line has been downsouth of Helena all week--or else Baxterhas seized the offices.

    -The publication of the Laws of the Ex-tra Session of last yealr appears to be in-volved in some doubt. A letter from Mr.Geo. Callaway, Auditor and acting Secreta-ry of Montana, to Mr. HI. S. Clark, Clerkand Recorder of Deer Lodge, states it isnot known when they will be published.There is no appropriation for the purposeand the measure for that purpose is meet-ing with opposition. We presume howeverthere will not be any unusual delay in pub-lication of the acts of the recent RegularSession.

    -The Chicago rnter-Ocean article on theNational Park is a more sensible one thanmost of the Eastern papers have found roomfor. Generally they are so mixed up with"jobs" that they cannot hear the word"appropriation" where they or their local-ity are not especially interested withoutviolently assailing it on the theory that itis a fraud. lHoade should be built to andin the National Park. Then responsibleparties will take leases and protect thecuriosities. We d:, not think it requireseven the larger proportion of $100,000 to dothis well and sufficiei!tly. But unless yeask of Congress ye will not receive. SoMr. Langford has asked $100,000. If $25,-000 or $30,000 were judiciously expended,every portion of the Park could be madeeasily accessible in carriages and the peopleof all nations rea ch readily the wonderlandof the world.

    -Governor Wm. B. Washburn, who waselected Senator to succeed Sumner lastFriday by a compromise coalition of theDawes and Hoar strength, will hold theSenatorship until next 4th of March. iHehas probably less ability than either of theAther opposing candidates ; but he is a gen-tlei an of eminent respectability and integ-rity of character. Possessing those attri-butes and the confidence of Massachusetts,the Legislature probably thought it best toelect him for the unexpired term in prefer-ence to widening the breach which at pres-ent exists in the Republican party of Mas-sachusetts by strengthening either wingwith the Senatorship. If there is notexhuberant exultation, there will be noprofound regret, the interests of the State

    ill be faithfully represented, and as aWashburn Congressman seems an inevita-ble consequence when there is one in aState, Massachusetts has, at worst, onlyyielded when resistance were in vain.

    THE GIDDINGS-UPHAM TRIAL.

    The case attracting most att':ntion duringthis term of court is that of the partiesindicted for frauds at Blackfoot Agency.Agent Ensign forfeited his bail and did notappear. Messrs. Hiram D). Upham, trader,and Chas. E. Giddings, who had beenassisting Agent Ensign, were tried lastweek on the charge of conspiracy to defraudthe United States. The jury after beingout a short time returned a verdict of"Guilty." This was not generallyexpectedits the prosecution had not made nearly soformidable a cse as at the previous term,when Mr. Upham had been convicted onone charge but Messrs. Ensign and Giddingshad escaped on another. The practicerelating to such trials ahadl,- v,- been

    t ablbsheid inu~cTheire were less doubtseffeting the procedure. Mr. Clagett hadalso beeil placed on the stand and made astatement of the confession that Mr. Uphammade subsequent to his former convic-tion, which, although ruled out by the courton motion of the defense as inadmissable-evidence sustained the thei-ory fthe frudsperpetrated upon the Government as arguedat the preceding term. The morning afterthe verdict Messrs. Sanders, Shober andNapton for defendants moved an arrest ofjmdgmentwhich was overruled by the court.They then made a motion for a new trial,one of the grounds of which is that one ofthe jurors had expressed an opinion as tothe guilt or innocence of the defendantsbefore he was sworn in the case. Thisjuro i"s Mr. Thos. Warren of Yamhill, agentlemi n wlho stands high in the commu-nity whe~o he hats rsided for uprightnessand inteeity -of ,oharaeter. The counselfor defendants visited Yamhill, procured'fldvitsui relatiou to the mater which weunderstand is alleged to have transpiredsome months ago, and filed the same incourt. District Attorney Page was thenallowed time to file counter affidavits, whichwe learn he has procured, although at thiswriting they have not been filed. Thecourt has further caused sunbpcnas to beissued" to bring the persons making theaffidavits into court for personal testimonyand examination, and thus the matter standsat present.' It is belidved the hearing ofthe affidavits and testtinmny on this' pointwill be'heard to-day (Saturday).

    se f Having set apart this great area for

    d national pleasure and recreation, the gov-ernment i bowunhLtaprotect it Asuperin.

    le tendent was appointed two years ago, we

    e believe, without a salary, but no dollar of1- appropriation has ever been made to renderthe park accessible, or to restrain thevandals, who already visit it in large num-bers, from marring its picturesqueness. Asa result of the neglect arising from this ill-starred economy, some of the finest parts ofthe park are already sadly mutilated.

    Ls Superintendent Langford says:During the past summer many of the

    il most beautiful formations of silica, the del-icately-tinted stucco and arabesque of theborders of the springs, have been broken offd and carried away. The parapets of sinter

    e surrounding the "Castle" and "Old Faith-ful," and the symmetrical cone of the"Bee-Hive," have also been much defacedby visitors to the park. In a field of natural

    it wonders so vast in extent as this, it will bes next to impossible, without moneyed aid,e to prevent spoliation. The only method by

    which this wholesale destruction can bed prevented will be by leasing portions of the

    park in the vicinity of the principal objectsn of wonder to interested and trustworthy

    e persons, who will see to it that no spoliationtakes place.

    This can be done, of course, only aftere the government has constructed roads to it,

    e over or through the eastern spur of dher Rockys from the Union Pacific.

    Professor Hayden, United States Geolo-gist, says:e There are two classes of springs in the

    x park, calcareous and silicious, or thosewhose waters depoit lime, and those whichdeposit silica. The Mammoth Hot Springs,on Glrdiner's River, are calcareous, andv very readily restore any damage that maySbe done to them. I am informsed, however,that visitors ride their horses over the deli-cate edges of the pools, and in other ways

    I are linjuring them 'to a frightful extent.y These springs are the most wonderful ofe their kind in the world, and deserve imme-

    Ltrr R oci, April L--Brooa proclamation today to the peopl, zseing at length the historyf hisl test withBaxter, and deelaring his nntentim to ses-tain himsalf in office every means at hiscommand, and that any attempt to 'placeBaxter again in the Governor's office mautresult in strife and bloodshed, ashe (Brooks)will resist all mobs that may assemble atBaxter's call, but that he .is always. readyto submit to the decision of the courts,and concludes by advising the people toquietly pursue their usual avocations,. Ladif their services are necessary to preservethe peace he will call upon them.

    Baxter's Attorney appeared in court to-day and moved to set aside the judgmentof yesterday, and the motion will be arguedto-morrow.

    Late this evening Baxter issued a procla-mation declaring Pulaski county to be in astate of rebellion, and proclaiming martiallaw, calling out the militia to suppress therebellion. Simultaneously with the issu-ance of the proclnmation, Baxter, with aforce of two hundred men, marched downtown, toote quarters at one of the hotels,and posted sentinels along the principalstreets and around the State House, whereBrooks is ensconsed, with two hundred menarmed with muskets, and with two cannon.Baxter expects reinforcements from othercounties to-morrow. He says the AttorneyGeneral's dispatch is satisfactory. All hewants is non-interference by the GeneralGovernment. Baxter has taken possessionof the telegraph offices, and exercises com-plete censorship over all dispatches, andhas issued a proclamation announcing hisintention to take the State House and re-establish his authority.

    LITTLE ROCK, April 17. - During thebelligerent movements last night ColonelRose, commanding the U. S. Arsenal,brought a company down, stationing themat the corner of Main and Fourth streets,and sent word to each side that while hehad no orders to interfere on behalf ofeither party, he was directed to preventbloodshed. Early this morning, there ap-pearing no prospect of trouble, the companyreturned to the Arsenal. In the meantimeBaxter has issued another long proclama-tion reiterating his determination to re-possess the State House at all hazards.

    WYASHINGTON, April 17,-The Secretaryof War telegraphed to the commandingofficer at Little Rock not to interfere inany manner with the troubles there, unlessit be absolutely necessary to preserve thepeace.

    It is generally believed that the Presidentwill approve the order of the Secretary ofWar. He has instructed the officers atDuvall's Bluff to proceed to Little Rock toinvestigate the report that Baxter hadseized the telegraph office, in order to pre-vent Brooks' party from using the wire,and to see that telegrams to and from theGeneral Government were not interrupted.

    Postmaster-General Cresswell telegraph-ed to the Postmaster at Little Rock to de-liver all mail matter addressed to GovernorBaxter, or Baxter, Governor of Arkansas,to Baxter, and all similarly addressed toBrooks, to Brooks, and hold all letters ad-dressed simply to the Governor of Arkan-sas, for the preseut.

    LITTLE ROCK, April 17.-Judge Wheelockto-day overruled the motion to set asidethe judgment in the Brooks-Baxter cases,but sustained the motion to correct therecord to show that demurrer was submit-ted without Baxter's knowledge or hiscounsel. Gen. P. T. Dockery has been ap-pointed by Baxter Military Governor ofthe city, and has issued orders for enrollingcitizens. The leading citizens have issuedan address to the people of the State urg-ing them to sustain Baxter. The UnitedStates troops occupy the U. S. Court roomin the center of the city, and will preservepeace.

    LITTLE Roca, April 18.-The Baxterforces have been increased by the arrival ofabout 3,000 men from Pine Bluff, Wash-ington and Batesville, and have surroundedthe State House so as to cut off supplies.Brooks has sent recruiting officers out.Three hundred of Baxter's reinforcementsare colored.

    ST. Louis, April 18.-The Democrat hasa special from Little Rock via Duval'sBluff. Having been at Little Rock, theyassert that Brooks is in receipt of assuran-ces from every point of the State that thepeople will support him. HIe holds theCourt house with all the government offices,all records, and the great seal of the State,and is supported by all the other Stateofficers, by the Chief Justice of the SupremeCourt, with all the leading men of theConservative Democrat and Republicanparties, while Baxter has appointed hismilitary officers from the Bourbon Demo-crats. Brosks' position in the State HIouseis guarded by 300 men and two pieces ofcannon.

    Dastress in Louisiana.WASHINGTON, April 17.--Governor Kel-

    logg, of Louisiana, telegraphed to thePresident to-day, asking the Governmentto issue rations to the people of Louisianarendered destitute by the late floods. ThePresident replied that he did not feeljustified in giving such orders while Con-gress was in session, but will send Kellogg'sdispatch to the Louisiana delegation, and1gladly carry out any resolution that mightbe passed by Congress.

    Miseelslneus.Naw YORK, April 17.-It appears that

    the reports of the prevalence of small-poxon Blackwell Island are the result of a con-spiracy of Tweed's friends to have his sub-jection t discipline different from otherconvicts. The convicts confess that theireruptions were caused by croton oil. Theorderly of the hospital has been dismissed.

    The Survey Controversy.

    Berros Naw Nmea•-wsr :-I have noticed in your last number the

    reply of Walter W. Johnson tomy communi.cations of March 14th and 21st in regardto West Side surveys, and certain corrup-tions and abuses that had prevailed in thesurveying service of the Territory.

    My duties as Clerk of the District Court,now in session, prevent me from replyingat present to Mr. Johnson's article.

    I merely wish at this time to notice thepublic declaration of Mr. Johnson made inthis town within the past week, that thereport of the United States Grand Jury,emphatically pronouncing his surveys "anuisance," had been made at my sugges-tion. This is unqualifiedly false. I had nevermentioned the subject to any member ofthe Grand Jury, and had received no inti-mation of the report they intended to make,until it was presented in open Court bytheir Foreman. Every member of thatGrand Jury will bear me out in this state-ment.

    My exposition of the frauds and abusesof our surveying service is by no meansconcluded. At my earliest leisure-next4eek, if possible-I shall pay my respectsto Mr. Johnson's reply, and probably pre-sent to the public further proof in supportof my original proposition that the peopleof Montana-especially of the West Side-have been defrauded and cheated out of theproper and legal surveys to which they arejustly entitled, and for which generous ap-propriations have been made from year toyear by the General Government, by a cor-rupt Surveyor General and unscrupulousDeputy Surveyors.

    FROM MIBBOULA.

    "Truthful" 'Gives the Directors' Ver-sion of the School Question.

    BDrros n1w NORTa-WsT:--Many obtain a sort of greatness at a sin-

    gle leap; others have that sort of thingthrust upon them; while still others areknown through the medium of their writ-ings.

    A LITTLE ORIEF.Now, we have not achieved any great

    amount of fame through this medium, buthave, instead, burdened ourselves with alarge quantity of that unenviable compound,notoriety. Since the appearance of ourlast letter our experience has been painfulin the extreme. The vicissitudes and trialsof ye typical editor would be a sort of Par-adise in comparison with our tribulations.We have been interviewed and re-inter-viewed, applauded and censured, until thething has commenced to become a littlemponotonous. We will therefore request alittle of your valuable space, as well as thetime of your readers, while we unfold to anastonished world

    A NEW PHASEof this much vexed school question. But,at first, will say that, at the time of writingthat article, we assuuredly represented thesentiment of a large proportion of the tax-paying population. The surrounding cir-cumstances warranted the article, and, in asimilar situation, we would reproduce it'verbatim." And we know, as do all who

    know us, that during the time in which wehave been corresponding for the NEwNORTH-WEST we havealwaysendeavored toshow up matters in theirtrue light,and do notat this late day wish to be understood thatwe would willingly misrepresent any casefrom personal motives or feeling. Fromthis reason, and as a matter of justice toourselves, do we give

    THE STATEMENT OF THE DIRECTORSa place in this letter. Mr. Edwards, oneof the interested parties, states, in contra-distinction to our article, that the ladyteacher was informed of the proposed changein the school management, and was fullyaware of that fact before the question of aspecial tax levy was finally agitated; andthat, moreover, he himself, as well as theother Director, consulted the larger portionof the citizens in regard to the feasibility ofthe proposed change, and that they had ex-pressed themselves as a unit in its favor,(which little fact was not generally knownuntil after the appearance- of last week'sletter,) and that he, alone, is responsiblefor the coming of the gentleman now incharge of the school, having spoken to himupon the subject some time previous to theaction of the Board in the premises. Hethereby, in a measure, relieves the teacherfrom the odium of having schemed to sup-plant the lady in her position. The gentle-tuan, himselt, also informs us that he hadno idea of applying for the vacancy, andthat only when the subject was broachedby the Directors did he give the subjectserious consideration, which assertion onhis part raises him in the estimation ofmany. But the fact of having acceptedthe situation at all under the circumstances,and after and in view of the feeling thathas been expressed, will operate powerfullyagainst him for a season, although it ishardly probable that such feelings willwithstand the action of time. This windsup this question so fkr as we are concerned;for by thus giving place to Lhe statementsof both Directors and teadrer, the otherside of the question, never before illustrat-ed, is fully represented, and those inter-ested and acquainted with the circumstan-ces are at perfect liberty to draw their owninferences, and avoid any future misunder-standing. Missoula is happy at present inthe posession of two schools, conductedon the latest and most scientiflc principles-both free and apparently well attended. Allparti.s appear to be satisfiled, and white-robed peaceagain broods like one of thoseguardian things, over the scene. While weare on this string we might as well make

    Tb Agent's Bide of the Case Prsemaated.,

    ansr O aw HNo•r-rwsr-Referring to an article published in the

    daily Independent of the 10th inst., underthe caption, "Closing the School at St.Ignatius Mission," allow me to state thatthe schooL was first established on the 26thof August, 1863. After being in operationsome thirteen months it was discontinuedwith the approval of the Commissioner,because the results obtained did not warrantthe expense (See Report of Commissionerof Indian Affairs 1865, Doe. No. 81). Itwas, however, discontinued for only a shorttime; and $1,800 per annum was paid by theGovernn:.nt, till 1872, since which time$2,100 per annum has been paid for theeducation of the Indians.

    Now, when Major Shanahan suspendedthe school recently, he was not actuated byany bad motives against the Mission. Inhisteport to the Commissioner under dateof March 31st., he says:

    " I have also suspended Joseph Bandeni,Sister Remi and Sister Paul Wiki (teachers)until the 1st day of July next, on accountof the limited means to the credit of theAgency ; and with the view of making thedeficiency as little as possible, I haveretained only those employes whose servicesare indispensible. The employment of ex-tra hands for the purpose of buildingAgency improvements, and no extra fundsbeing placed to my credit with which topay them, has necessitated this action."

    It is a well-known fact that Major Shan-ahan has built up an entirely new Agencyin his one year's stay; that the improvementsare appreciated by the Indians; that thebenefits derived certainly compensate themfor two or three months suspension of theschool at a time of the year when scarcelyany boys attend the same.

    Now when "Dio " says "The discontentand mistrust engendered among the Indiansby this high-handed act are somewhat im-portant and may yet result in trouble to thepeople of Missoula," he certainly does notknow what he is talking about. Lethim examine the Indians and half-breedsthoroughly in regard to the school and theirfeeling about it and he will probably get hiseyes opened.

    At a council held here on the 13th and14th inst., with all the chiefs, they urgentlyrequested the Agent to open a school atthis Agency, in accordance with the treaty,saying that after so many years not one oftheir boys.could be found who could intelli-gently read or write the English language.We know that the Indians of this Agencywere never more peaceable than at present,and if any troubles should come up hereafter,it will be easy to trace them to the source.

    Sudden Death of Job E. Harvey.Last Saturday morning Messrs. George

When nearly attheir destination they came to a steep hill,and Dunphy and Harvey got out to walk.Dunphy being a little in advance, Harveybegan to run to overtake him. After run-ning a few rods he stopped and exclaimed,"I am sick," and immediately fel to tlheground, face downward. His companionsran to him and raised him up, but hie beganto vomit and then had a fit. They didwhat they could for him, but seeing that hewas getting worse they placed him in awagon and drove to Richardson's ranch.Before reaching there he had breathed hislast. From the time of the first attack tohis death, was about two hours and a half.His remains were brought to this city, andburied by the Odd Fellows, of which Orderhe was a member.

    Another Montanian Importing Stock.We notice by the following, that Mr.

    Buck one of the enterprising merchantsof Forest City, M. T., is investing somemoney in fine sheep. Vermont is famousfor its fine sheep; but we belief the day isnot far distant when the high, and healthyslopes of the Rocky Mountains will feed thebest flocks on the Continent.

    From the Vergenses Vermonter, April 4.

    On Friday morning last, Mr. C. F. Buck,of Montana, formerly of Pittsford, shippeda car load of blood sheep, numbering onehundred and thirteen, for the eastern partof Washington Territory, some 250 milesup the Columbia River. They were selectedfrom the choicest flocks in Cornwall and vi-cinity, and are of superior quality. This isthe first lot of Vermont sheep shipped tothat locality, we believe. The distancefrom Vermont to their destination is 4000miles, and Mr. B. expects to reach there inabout five weeks. Mr. Buck is a fair sam-ple of go aheadativeness so inherent in theEastern man transplanted to Western soil.He left Vermont many years since with allthe world before him, and could retire fromactive business to-day, if he had a disposi-tion to, and live comfortably; but he is areal live man, full of snap and enterprise,and is helping manfully to build up theGreat West, now his home.
