R. ment in the way of official reconnoisance: Governor Potts received a dispatch from Jay Cooke, financial agent of ihe Northern Pacific Railroad, last Friday to the effect that a coinmittce of the Directors of the Northern Pacific Railroal had been appointed to visit tana, and wonid start immediately for the West. We understand the purpose of the committee is to visit all portions of the Territory, and make ments advantageous to both our people and the road for the transportation of our freights via Bismarck, the present terminus, and the Missouri river. A committee of the N. P.

visiting Montana at this time impresses us with, the. ideri that it' is of more importance than merely to solicit our freights. The North A South Railroad excitement may have attraced them, and possibly their business may be to make a final location of their road through Montana. The visit can be but beneficial to us, for no one can visit Montana without impressed with the knowledge of our ul timate importance. From the Kalatna Territory, we gh an as follows Last week the water seas receded be low all the side-tracks in tnwn, and pairs were completed where the ovei How ing current damaged the side-track road btds, which was confined to (he vicinity between the warehouse and ear shop.

Qcrri: a little breeze was stirred upon Main street near the corner of Third, on Friday last, all about a tent. li seems a party gave a chattel martgage to a business house on said tent. other party claimed to be the owner, and issued a writ of replevin therefor, issued by the Court. The Sheriff proceeded to take possession of the aforesaid tent but such resistance was offered by the tenants occupying the tent as to prevent his personally so doing.

He then moned, and created several deputies, and in a body they marched to the tent and soon stripped it front the frame. Like electric Hash the news spread over the town and many gathered to see the supposed fun. No fun was witnessed, simply was observed the strong arm of the law carrying out its intents and poses, fearing no man, heeding no threats but. pursuing its ward course without fear or favor to any however quite little, excitement existed for a few minutes harmless in its nature yet creating a little healthy tingling of the blood. Compromise, gentlemen compromise.

It is better than law, revolver or knife, or even better than harsh words which only get their like, arid create bitter feeiings.
