-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.
Tha Election of Washburn.BosToN, April 17.-After the 32d ballot
to-day for Senator, resulting, Dawes 82;Hoar 75 ; Curtis 69; Adams 19; Washburn10; Banks I2; scatteling i, ta recess wastaken, during which the Dawss men ballot-ed for a candidate other than Dawes, andLoring received 36, Washburn 14, and therest were scattering. The Dawes men thenmade several propositions to the Hoar.men,one for a union on Loring, and one moreballot and then adjourn until to-morrow.All these propositions were rejected, andon the re-assembling of the convention amotion to proceed at once to ballot wascarried. After roll was first called thenbegan an immediate change of votes, last-ing nearly half an hour, and the result wasannounced, as follows: The whole vote,267; necessary to a choice, 134. Wm. B.Washburn 150; Curtis 64; Dawes 26;Adams 15; Loring4; Banks 10; scattering3. The President then declared the electionof Washburn-and prorogued the convention.
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.
A Havana letter says it :is rumored thatConcha intends to spare the life of Dockeryas a matter of eoiutesy to the 'UnitedStates.

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.

"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.

Wakefield, E. M. Dunphy and Job E. Itar-vey left here in a wagon, for a "prospect"on the Gravely Range. 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. Success tohim.
