THE ELECTIONS. * The elections last week proved a \land slide\ for the Democracy, the Republicans carrying national, terri- torial, and county elections with .ap- parent ease. New York went for Harrison by a considerable majoritr - and he will bave a very good majori- ty in the electoral college. The Re- publicana also carried the lower house of Congress, so that Once more the President and both branches of Con- gress will be in political unison. This is really a matter for congratulation, whichever party might have gotten into power, for then the responsibili- ty of legislation can be unquestion- ably fixed, whereas under the condition of affaire existing heretofore for some time, neither party need Resume en- tire responsibility. The Senate will probably be more strongly Republican than at present, as the Republicans even captured the Legislature of Del- aware, ensuring the election of a Re- publican Senator from that State for the first time in history. In the Territory, Mr. Thomas H. Carter is elected Delegate to Congress by anywhere from 3,000 to 5,000 ma- jority. Various reasons are assigned, now that the election is over, for this unexpected victory, but it will be hard to discover ail which may have had au effect upon the vote. • Certainly the issue of free trade or protection had much to do with it, and as the Re- pnblieans had the aggressive side of the question. that party had the greater advantage. Whatever may have been the causes, the Territory will certainly have an active and ef- ficient Delegate in Congress, and HS he will be in political sympathy with both branehes- of Congress -and -the President, it is to be hoped his efforts for Statehood will be successful__ The Territorial Legislature la also Republican. The House ' of Regre- . sentatives is at least two-thirds Re- publican, while the Council is at least seven Republicans to five Democrata and possibly it may be eight to four. The Legislature will not have any voice in choosing a United States Sen- ator, even though the Territory should become a State, so that the matter of a joint ballot cuts no figure in the mat- ter. In Jefferson county the Republicans were very successful, electing all the • officers except Courrty Commissioner, Sheriff, School Superintendent and Surveyor, there being no opposition to the Democratic nominee for the last mentioned office. Similar requite are reported in most of the &melee in the Territory, so that the election has proved a veritable \land -slide\ for the Democracy. The Montana Central now has two passenger trains a day earl way be- tween Helena and Butte. The through express going to «Helena passes Boulder at 10:30 a. in.. the local passenter at 5:08 p. m. The through furpress going to Butte passes Boulder at 6:43 p. m., the local passenger at 8:47 a. in. The freight trains, one a day each way, will make the trip in the daytime instead of at night as heretofore. Tint new time -card is certainly a great eeivenienee to this place as well as to the two cities of Butte and Helena. • „ NEWS FROM WICK ES. [Special Correspondence of Tee Wickes, Nov. 11.—Bets un the Presidential election have moistly been paid. This place was lively the day suc- ceeding election. The Republieans were jubilant while the Democrats subsided with good grace. Dr. W. M. Ballard has been quite PI for some days. As he was Chair- man of the Republican Central Com- mittee the returns have not been tab- ulated with satisfaction. He was taken to Helena Saturday where it is to be hoped he may speedily recover. A number of old friends went to the train to express their regard and sym- pathy. Mos. Bullard aocompanied him. Milton Cauby, of, East Helena, mine in on the Northern Pacific Sun- day. 'Frank Lindsey was one of the con- spicuous persons here on election day. Geo. D. Greene visited Alhambra Saturday night. An excursion train is expected to run from Wickes to Alhambra and re- turn on the evening of the 16th inst. to accommodate those desiring to at- tend a ball to be given by Joseph Schenk, proprietor of the springs hotel at the latter place. A good time is anticipated by those -expecting to attend. J. P. Daily, of t'omet, visited here Friday. • J. H. Catron, an engineer on the N. P. R. R. has been on the sick list for some time: Mr. Warner, our station agent, has been very busy since election day re- ceiving and Rending dispatches to and from anxious county candidates. Republicans throughout our terri- tory rejoice over the election of Will Kennedy. of THE AGE, and Captain Swiggett, of the Minah Hill. Both are able. competent men, well quali- fied to fill with ability and discretion the potations to which they aro re- . . spectively chosen. John Schreiner, Chairman of the Democratic Central Committee, has been energetic in his efforts to obtain full returns from the different pre- cincts 6f the county._ To him we are indebted for the latest and completest returns. The friends of Judge Kerley here are much disappointed over the pros- pecte of his defeat. They mostly feel that if he had made a greater person- al effort he would have been triumph- antly elected. James Hildebrand has been in front the mountains for a few days and ham been gladly welcomed by his many 4tis friends. John Hildebrand expects to give most of his attention during the win- ter to the development of some prom- ising lodes in the Cataract mining district. E. L. Schoenberg, of St. Paul, was in Wickes Saturday. He has pur- chased several lodes in this vicinity, including the Josephine, and will let à contract in a few days for their proper development. W. H. Gumereell, the proprietor of a rich group of mines in the Overland gulch, left for St. Louie last week. He will probably not return before next spring. Alex. S. Street is closing out his stock of goods with a view to retiring from business. - - H. JOYNER'S JUBILEE. - Miss' Lucy' deft fingers. The table was laden with oubetantials and sweets and flowers, and not by any means least of the novelties were -fresh oyster)) just from the shell\ and served in every imaginable style. Stories, jests, music and songs filled the hours after the feast, and one particularly pleasing incident was a song 'oy the new convert); whose cho- rus ran: We have landed rate at Mat.' Mr. Joyner bad gathered With the \old stagers\ the many active and bright men who love country more than party and who helped the Re- publicans kill free trade and Cobden Club doctrines last Tuesday. The feast was royal and royal was its occasion, and at a seasonable hour, amid hearty \good -nights,\ a well - pleased company dispersed for home. X. BASIN MINES. (Special Correspondence of Tnic •nt.1 BASIN, Nov. 13. --The Big Medicine mine, belonging to Boulder parties, is being worked by a large force and shows splendidly. The Josephine people are in high feather over prospective bonanzas. - Assayer Bryan sold a half interest yesterday in a prospect to a commer- cial traveler for a good cash sum.

ICORSIN - JOTTINGS -- (Special C,orreeportilitoce of Tat Amt.) CouBIN, Nov. 11\.. - C.Orblit is strictly impartial in regard to excursions, about the same crowd attending the Republican and Democratic rallies in Helena. The election is over, and one of the funny incidents here is that Casper had hired two men to go out ou the hill and build a grand bonfire celebrating Clark's election; but now Casper says that the Republicans will be in power for the next twenty years and he is willing to let the other fellows cele- brate. Engine Ella, No. 977, of the Alta railway, has been placed on the track. Gotlieb says it is just whet ive want. Dame Rumor says that some of our leading mine owners have \struck it rich\ Marysville.

To the School Trustees and Clerks of Jefferson county: Gesrresasre;.—Sinee I was first elect- ed to the position I hold at present, it has been a pleasure to me upon more than one occasion, to point out to you certain duties the performance of which on your part is absolutely necessary, in order that the beet in- terest of the people, from au educa- tional standpoint of view, may be -subeerved. The school law of Mon- tent' is drawn up on a too broad and liberal batiks to admit of any inequali- ties or injustices being worked upon any community or individual, when properly executed. Hence, it is to this end that I have endeavored to secure yovr hearty casperation. By a close examination of the records of my office, when fire elected, I found that the boundary lines of the different school district); were very imperfectly described. I found also, that ,there were more names upon the general census roll upon which the public money was being apportioned, tluut there were children to answer to. Having determined upon a correction of these errors and abuses I sought first to properly harmonize and de- scribe the boundaries of the districts which I did by visiting and conferring with the trustees thereof. Where no difference of opinion existed I simply arrived at an understanding with that particular board of trustees and pass- ed on to the next. But wherever a diversity of opinion existed between trustees as to the exact location of dividing lines, I called them together and in every instance a perfect under- standing was arrived at. After I had finished my efforts in this direction, I submitted the result thereof to the County Commissioners, together with my recommendation* to- the effect that I believed that by this adoption the best interest of the people would be subeerved. That the wisdom and justice of my course of action met with their hearty approval, I have only to say that my recommeedatione were returned to we fully endrirsed, adthout a Angle exceptioà. Alter -ii propel. record had. been made of the same, I furnished the clerk of each district with a transcript copy of its boundaries together with a request that in the taking of the next census report, (tue regard be paid to its pro- visions. I thought that this wane would forever put a stop t» increased census reports, but a grand surprise was in store for me, for there were those who after listing the names of children actually residing in the -dis- trict sought to thwart me in my efforts at faithfully exercising the trusts which had been repotted in me, by the placing of fictitious names upon their census reports, in order that their dits- triets might be the recipient of a greater amount of revenue from the county. In six instances I detected clerks resorting to this vile practice, and in six different instances were clerks held to *a strict accountability of their stewardship. You should bear in mind the fact that by deer-eats- ing_the_eentnts list, you -increase the per capita apportionment of each child of school age. Hence, the great ad- vantage occurring in favor of the sparsely settled districts. Pardon me for speaking plainly to you, for my object in doing 80 is to arrive at a perfect understanding with you, in order that we may the better be en- abled to execute the duties devolving upon us. The law makes maple pro- vision for a just compensation for all work performed by you for your re- spective districts, and whenever it , transpires to you that said compen- sation is inadequate, or that the re- quirements of the law are too exacting, you should have the good grace to tender your resignation at once. I am in the main dependent on you for the information necessary in making up my annual report, and if you are derelict in the performance of your duty, I am debarred the privilege of exercising mine. Territorial Super- intendent Logan, of Helena, informs me that thirteen appeals have been taken from my decision by the trus- tees and clerks of this county, but so far I have not been able to learn the names of but thrte of the dissatisfied parties. Now this ia all wrong.

I am responsible for my ' \aanule: \'\ \ °t( tk P rhre i l fr:: \'en it \\\*. own actions. I have never asked you to do that which is contrary to the law in any respect. i simply ask of you the performance of a simple duty for the censmon good and general welfare of the people. I have this day mailed you blanks upon which to make out your annual census reports, said reports to be taken between the twentieth and thirtieth of this, month. Clerks are expected to Visit each resi- dence in their districts and' to record the names of such children only as are actual residents. You will find your duties in this respect fully ex- plained in melon 1886. Thanking Tou cordially for courted** shown use in the past, I remain your obedient servant, W. E. DEAN. Supt. Public Schools. Ukhorn, Mont. Nov. 10th. 1858. RAILROAD NEWS. The Montana Cbuteal and Manitoba will to -day sell round trip tickets to' those desiring to attend the Cattle - Range Association at St. Louis for S58.90. It is probable the Montana Central will \station an engine at this point for switching and for use as a helper. This indicates that the company con- siders Boulder as a pretty good point and one worth cultivating. Union Pacific sleepers are running through between Butte and Helena on the Montana Central road, so that persons desiring to travel east by the Union Pacific do not have to go to Butte to get en the ears of that com- pany. 1/ARM'S.
