Yesterday morning, in company with Mr. J. Keat- ing, we went up to Keatmgville, to take a look at the puma and mill of Messrs. Keating & Blacker. We found every- thing rutting with clock -work regularity. Mr. Blacker showed us through the mill first, which seems to be as near perfec- tion ill all its appointments as it is possi- ble to construct a quartz mill, the ma- .. e'.•'..ery all working in such harmony that taere is scarcely a perceptible jar about the it. We uext visited the Inines—the Keating and Ohio—two of the most thoroughly developed lodes in the Territory, particularly the Keating, the fame of which, for its wealth, is world- wide. The best evidence of the richness of these mines, and their successful man- agement, is that while but a few years' ago the men who own and have operated them, were comparatively poor they are now rich, from the proceeda of these mines, furnishing another positive argu- ment in favor of practice over theory. Richards & Dodson are running a six - stamp mill, about a mile distance from town, on rock from the Hidden Treasure, which pays abotit $20 to $25 dollars to the ton. • County Treasurer Lineberger is run- ning a hydraulic clahn. lion. Otho Curtis is in charge for him. which is to say that. what money there is in the ground will have to come out. There are about 100 men at work in the placer mines in this vicinity, and all feelin_ a confident of getting well paid for their labor. We called on Mr. Geo. Wilkinson, County Clerk and Recorder, whom we found a very genial gentleman, and a Democrat of the right stamp. izle says I that Jefferson County will give a hand- some Democratic majority next August. We also interviewed Dr. Weston, Pro- bate Judge. The Doctor says of his county that, if the people will only let well enough alone, and not reach beyond their means, the time is not Ihr distant when they realize their most san- guine expectations. Sheriff Proffitt says the people of his county have become so moral that if he had to depend on the proceeds of his of- fice for \fodder there would be but lit- tle danger of his bread lidling buttered side down.

Elder Cannon of the Church of the Latter Day Saints is the Delegate in Con- gress from the . .i:erri`ut - Ay a a \ act of Congress approved July 1, 1862, polygamy was declared to be a. felony, and under this statute Gentile, but not gentle, Maxwell from Salt Lake City, thing of an idea about canvassing for a vim aaa his contestant, has tbrinallyln- newspaper; have done some of it, and met with a liar degree of success ; but dieted Eider Cannon before the House as a practical polygamist, which he defines as \openly living and cohabiting with four women as his wives, under the pre- tended sanction of a system of polygemy, which system he notoriously indorses and upholds.\ This is perhaps as clear a definition of a practical polygamist as could be well given by Mr. Maxwell or any other man.

MEM .7.M HELENA HERALD AND TEE MIN- ERAL DEPUTIES. The Htlena Herald is out in another ponderous artivle—not this time particu- larly in defenae of the Surveyor -General in his removal ot Mineral Deputies, but in an attempt to extricate itself from the 21iltinma into which it had precipitated it- sa•if — vainly endeavoring to throw oil )11 the the troubled waters, on the dis- turbed boaom of which it found itself cast without helm or anchor, by disclaiming the language attributed to it by us last week. \Let its own lips condemn it.\ Theae are its words: • •The ease as affecting the competency of the Mineral Deputies was clearly established, in our judgment, the records telling a story anythitia• but flattering to the surveying abili- ties of the aggrieved parties. Especially did we mied this to he true in the case of the Vir- ginia City Deputy .—Herald of the 19th. The above was the language of the Heral4f, after a careful scrutiny of the records.\ Here is what it says a week later: \rhere is a way to f....et Mr. Carbett reinstat- ed, anti we doubt' not it will be pursued by hint. Ile is a political friend and a citizen of Moieana whom we would rejuice to aid.—Her- aid ef the 2.5tii. - Now if the records, which unfolded a tale \ anything but flattering to, cape - chilly, the Virginia City Deputy.\ un- der the scrutiny ot the Herald editor, have been honestly kept, what means would the Herald adopt to have him reinstated in the thee of this black record of hi: utter incompetency? The Herald could not have said in plainer language that the record referred to was a fraud. and that it had lent itself the willing in- atrutuent to propagate an injustice to the Iteople. It says it did not make the aaaertion attributed to it. We quote its own lan- guage. and ask it' it does not convey the idea attributed to it, what is it meaning? Hear it: \It wauld be a liatLfaetion to him, as we have heard him declare, if every eounty in the Te rr i t o r y could furnish men practically fitted competeat to do mineral work. Such men, however, are scarce, and outside of Helena, where most of the surveyors of the first-class to tottuti in the erritory reside, there only are , t a few persons answering, to the requirements of the Deputy Mineral Surveyor's position.

The bill %vas read twice and referred to the Committee on Railroads. It is quite lengthy but its main and essential provision is contained in the guarantee of Govern- N11 mem to pay the interest on its bonds. This th .;.marantee is in the following form: of - The United States of America hereby wre.tit a.- ...te charges, and recommending such action Y las the committee might deem proper, etc. This was atizi - mted by a vote of 137 ayes 1 t o 51 noes, the noes declaring it not to h o e the duty of the colinnittee to inquire int the character of its mem;;ers, a2f! others asserting that polygamy iaas scandal and a disgrace. The two structions in the resolution are directly to the points They inquire whether El- der Cannon has four wives in defiance of the act, and. it he has, that the committee shall recommend such action as the enor- mity of the felony demands. It Elder Cannon were hot a man with four wives he would tremble for his seat in Congress. But having been in the daily habit of looking four able-bodied temales in their faces, and those four fe- males being his wives, he is not afraid to look at the litunh•ed and thirty-seven men who have virtually voted thr his ex- pulaion. He does it without rapang o distruat or a qualm of apprehension. Ii the first place, they nmat prove the foul polygamous matrons. That will demand a Congressional committee of investiga- i tiOn, who inuat make the inquiry on the I spot in Salt Lake City.

Dear Madisonian: ton.irrqr 12 2 r ) ' ;241' - Since our hist, giving a f .11r I Silver Star and way poiapa a we have been I rusticating in the rural districts of Jeffer- son county. The fiest day out from Sil- ver Star we passed throughFish Creek ci- ty,where - we found every body lively,and they needed to be. for they had declared war on the grasahopper cruSade, and the entire population, little and big, was in the field giving the jokers fits. We met Tutt, of Little Pipestone, at Flab Creek, who informed us that the inihear' in that camp looked encouraging for a good yield this season. Several com- panies are putting in flumes on the Little Pipestone; from what we know and learn from other partiea, they are bound to realize good money when they reach bed- rock. A drive of eighteen miles from Fish Creek brought us to the ranch of Mr. Ed. Cardwell, at the mouth of the North Boulder. We found that gentleman at home. and it being /ate in the afternoon, we consented to his iavitation to put our horse out and stop with him till the next morning. Our cavias properly cared for, me found a cool shady spot, and anchor- ed for a rest and chat with Ed., telling him about our first trip to the mountains. ; bow we followed close on the heels of Lewis and Clarke, navigating the Great American Desert, at the rear end of six yoke of cavorting bulls hitched to a prat_ rie schooner of mammoth proportions, boundfor the land of Brigham. compos- ing the flower ofJohnson's army, which was sent out by the virtuous Buchanan to negotiate with _that lechieraualar Joe posed false prophet. After supper we took a walk around the premiaes. The first thing that espe- cially attracted our attention was the un- uaually large number of fowls—to he seen in a MonLana fiirm-yard—turkeys, ducks, and chickens — numbering the most desirable breeds. We also observed a lot ot the finest looking piga, or rather ahoats, that we have seen in the Territory. We next visted the stock corrals, where a part of Mr. Cardwell's immense herd had beeu driven in for the evening. It is a fine looking band of cattle; we have no hesitancy in pronouncing it equal to any ot the several we have been through in our travels over Montana. A two year old bull, from the herd of Charles Beeh- rer, Esq., for which Mr. Cardwell paid $500, weighing about 1,700 pounds, and, in atockinen'a parlance, is as fine as silk. Everything about the place is in nice shape; commodious corrals, stables, and other out-houaes; be best improved ranch on the valley, and fenced ? . a the eye eau reach ou either hand.

The redoubtable Vasquez has at length been captured. After a six months' pur- suit, he is, at length, in the meshes of the law. The custodians of outlying treasuries will breathe more freely at this announce- ment. Even cities will feel that a menace has been removed. It is certain that the bandit could not have so long escaped if he had not the sympathy of at least a portion of the' people in the section to which he confines his operations. Ile could not alone have eluded his pursuers by information as to their movemengs. In the long rum which he made changes of horses w ere of- ten necessary. To effect such changes by plunder would only have been to increase the number of his pursuers. Yet the fel- low seems to have been a mere vulgar cut- throat and robber. lie had been in the penitentiary more than once, for mean ras- cality, before he took to the road. There was nothiug heroic or attractive about his career. Vasquez is not of the material out of which Jack Shepards or Joaquin Murie- tas are made. If he had anything approach- ing to the genius at least to the stage high- wayman, he would have made a more he- roic defense even after he had been so adroitly surprised. We are glad that he was taken alive. It is better that he should be tried for his crimes than decapitated by his captors. At least, it will read better abroad Joaquin Murietas' dripping head was associated with California life for a longer period than could be endured with patience. Fortunately, in this case the larger reward was for the culprit alive. But he was an expensive rascal for the State. Upwards of $20,000, in all, must have been expended upon him.—San Free cisco Bulletin. THE UTAH NORTHERN. A well informed gentleman whom we in- terviewed this week thinks it probable the Utah Northern will be extended to Marsh valley and not improbably to Snake River this year. Mr. Richardson who has recent- ly become principle owner of the road, hav- ing in the vicinity of $1,000,000 invested in it, is a member of Richardson firth, Loco- motive Builders at Patterson, New Jersey. He is also a Director ot the U. P.R. R. and is able to prosecute the work, The incen- tives to its extension will be to retain the Montana trade now diverted to a . great ex- tent to the Carroll route; also to head off the proposed Portland, Dailies, and Salt Lake Road, which, ifthe Utah Northern is extended to Snake River, will conneet with and become tributary to it instead of build- ing in a rival line up Bear River and 'rid Malad. These are cogent reasons, and with the facility of building his own loco- motives and influencing low freights on his ron with the U. P. R. It. naturally desi- rous of the Montana trade, Mr. R. has greater advantages than others would be likely to have. It is forty miles from Franklin to Marob valley, at the head of Port Neuf Canyon, and tfty miles from there to Snake River, ninety miles in all. There is no range of any consequence to cross. The extension to Snake River would doubtless enable the re -acquisition of a considerable part of the lost Montana trade as it would put freights by rail 130 miles nearer Montana than Corinne is. Even the extension to Marsh valley would acquire the stage travel and probably the mails, which at present Gilmer &Salisbury do not see it to their interest to transfer to Frankiih, as on l .y forty miles is saved and they are under ceniraet to supply service at Post-otlices on the oiel stage route. for which they would have to esta:Aish sePa - rate service if they connected at Frautt . These facts all point to the extension of the road under its present oeteattoineet- As the subsidy bill last wirter provid- A TUB,NOUT THAT BI - gia.\23 GR ANT'S ed a aubseription of ,,510,000 a mile for the EZLMBOLD'S. building of ihis or a connecting road to - 31ontana, our peop:e will be glad to see it extended without cost to our Treasu- ry and the inevitable thirty sueoeeding years of taxation.—Sorth West, 23d. MORE OFFICIAL TURBULENCE IN THE SOUTH. Like cause will produce like results. If we permit the conditions of Mexican politics to continue in any part of this country we shall have Mexican turbu- lence. Brooks. the Arkansas gubernato- rial \claimant has \folded his tent, like the Arab, and silently stole away.\ The State House is once more in possession of Baxter and his Legislature. Nothing in the way of punishment for the disgrace inflicted on the country is likely to take place. Probably before long Brooks and Baxter will again become occupants of the sante pew in the church to which they belong. But scarcely has the cur_ tain been rung down upon this disagree- able drama than another performance of a like character commences in South Carolina. One Moses is the Governor of that strangely bedeviled common- wealth. Moses and his ring have nearly ruined the State over which they have been ruling. Probably poetic justice is to be recognized in the circumstance that Moses himself is now bankrupt. Civil process was issued against him, but Mo - ses refused to submit, and called out the colored troops to resist the Sheriff. The\ idea that his sacred person could be touched by a minion of the law was so re- pugnant to this high and mighty ruler that he tell back on the military arm fin . protection. It is not stated whether lie read the riot act to the poise as a prelim - Mary warning. Probably he considered rea a lnerc reney e«er s rcest-t-4-rnyb der was to fix bayonets. But he finally abandoned this extreme position and submitted to the law. The most enthu- siastic of optimists cannot very well hold that these exhibitions are encouraging or satisfactory. They are beginning to multiply and to be common in all parts of the South. In Louisiana the people leok upon their government, and not without reason, as a banditti. Thei - e is surely here work for some stateman to do. AN AMERICAN CARDINAL. A correspondent of the London Tele- graph writing from Rome, says that the long unanswered interrogatory: Why canno4 America have a cardinal? is about to have an agreeable solution at last. The propriety of bestowing a cardinal's hat upon an American prelate has been talked of hi the Sacred College for years, and bad he lived the late Arch - Wallop Hughes of New York would un- doubtedly have been made its recipient. Since his death the ceuspicuous promi- nence of no prelate has warranted its bestowal. 'But within the last few months the subject hies again been reviv- ed, and since the United States must be considered as among the great powers of the world, andas Catholic people numer- ous, wealthy, and intelligent, the honor, it ia thought, will no longer be with- held. The two prelates most notably conspic- uous in learning and piety, and in influ- ence at the Vatican, are Archbishop Pur- cell of Cincinnati, and Archbishop Per- che of New Orleries. One of these it is thought will soon receive the diatinction, which has long been deaerved, and should long since have been contenred on some one of the many eminent Cath- elle periatea of America. a I Xassachvsetts has a revenue system diner- ent crow. most el her sister States. It costa nearly six miWons sepport her State Government, but only about a i.L4'd of this sum is derived from real estate. The remaining two-thirds are raised from banka, corporations ot various kinds, railroads, licenses, and an income tax. There appears to be an idea prevalent in that staid old commonwealth that every citizen ought to be compelled to contribute to the support of the government accord- ing to his means, and without reference to the source of his revenue. Sixty four cents on the hundred dollars, cash valua- tion of real property, would be an alarming impost in Massachusetts. f ' The engineer employed t o measure the work done in front of asovernment property in Washington gave his evidence before the District invetigating committee recent- ly. lie showed by accurate measure- ments that in nearly every instance the government has been defrauded. In some cases the fraud was accomplished by over - measurements; in others by charging for more woik than was actually done; in others by charging twice for the same work; and in others by charging more than the contract price of the work. Private in- dividuals have alstabeen bled in the same manner to a considerable extent, but the government has been the principle victim. The exact amount of the swindie is not known, but it is certain that it will exceed a malion dollars while it may reach two mil- lions. fhe engineer who made the ineas- urements is a man of thirty years' experi- 'a not a professor of religion but has a ral and tender regard for the soles ot men, women. and children—'s boots and ahoea.

The Democrats having carried Connecti- cut in April, the election of a 'Democrat to succeed Buckingham in the United States Senate in March. 1875, was a foregone con- clusion. The only point of interest in the matter is that Eaton, the Senator elect, will be the first Democrat that Las gone to the United States Senate from New England since Buchanan's administration. Eaton's cluef competitor, up to the tnne of the Dem- ocratic catieus, was Barnum. but the cau- cus having declared for Eaton, his election thereafter was secured: According to the Boston journals, Eaton is a fair specimen of the Democrat - of the New England type. He is represented as being a man of un- questioned probity and integrity in private life, but his politleal career has not been marked. lie last appeared prominently before the public when taking the stump in his State in opposition to the Consti- tutional amendments. The nomination of Eaton seems to have occurred on the first ballot in either House. CONGRESSMAN BECK OF KENTUCKY. Perhaps Beck conies as near being the Democratic leader of the HOIllie as any man. says the iVashington correspondent of the Chicago Times. Certainly he does the most talking. and noise and leader- ship are held to be synonomous. Inflex- ible honesty, and an obstinate determin- ation to whittle down expenses, are his prize attributes, The centre of a knot of about 50 administration haters, he sometimes succeeds in making them the nucleus for a swinging majority, at an unexpected minute. They vote with Beck on the presumption that he has looked into the measure and found it bad. If they are ever in doubt in this respect, they still vote with lum, on the principal that he is opposing the Radi- cals, and that it is good to hit the enemy whenever there is a chance. When the appropriation bills have been under consideration, Beck has stuck pa- tiently through them, with a copy spread open before him. AS about every other expenditure he has jumped up, with an amendment to cut down, or strike out, the vital money -clause. He has usually been beaten on an immediate vote, or talked out of his demand by Garfield. This, however. has never dampened his zeal for retrenchment, and Ire has been ready to slaughter the next expense of the list. In a few cases he has succeeded, owing to the temporary absence of the Republican majority, in slicing off some item. Perhaps the item thusasliced max have peen runoff° . the fairest and most re- quisite in the bill.

The carriage was pronounced by the maker the finest equipage as to material and construction ever sent from his shop. In this the family travelled over Europe, taking several years for it. Coming here some weeks ago, en route from the South, Mr. Cary was so much Pleased with. the streets and the city gen- erally that he telegraphed for wife, chikl- reit, carriag . e, servants, and horses to be brought on, and they are all at the Ar- lington. Every tine evening he is on the principal streets with twelve, fifteen, or eighteen people filling the carriage, and he secures for the upper aeats always very pretty gh•ls.

Bless me! many a time I have done just the same thing, and many a thrashing have I had.\ Ile seemed like a child; everything pleased him. and we wondered where was the vanity of which people talked so loudly. 1Vho has a better right to be vain than Sherman; vain of his valor, vain of his deeds, vain of his wife, vain of his children, and vain of the love of his country people?
