DAILY I Cents mo the Columbus (Ga.) Bun, Oct. 94,1871. Tyrants and Slave*. i and his followers teach that the laws which render colored people citizens are null I- Gee—in other words, not lews. A few miecreante hare and there, accepting that utterance ea truth, put masks on their Ihcee, rielt Isolated localities, and shoot or beat a few unoffending blacks. Thus e sentiment is mannibrtured In the North strong enough to sustain President Grant in declaring mar tial law, In various portions of the South, nearly eeres years after the does of the war. South Caro- lima will do for an Illustration. It Is to ha hoped that Stephens k Oo. are satlsAi d with the progress of thetr work. In behalf of the South.” The above glanderous editorial, wo clip from that delectable sheet, the Mem phis Avalanche of the 19th. This pro- feeeed Democratic, bat really new de parture and Iiadical paper, never misses an opportunity to defend Dospotism, if in ao doing, it can strike Democrats. Every sensible sod honest man must know thst whatever may be tho opinion of "Stephens A Co.” about the legality of the reeonstrnotion laws, that they arc no ways responsible for the alleged law lessness that may exist in South Carolina or elsowhore and tho consequent decla ration of martial law. Suoli an assertion is not only a libel on Mr. Stephens and other Democrats, but on every docent Southern citizen. Mo respectable man of any party far as we know has offered tho first apology, or attempted to justify the patting on of masks and “shooting or beating unoffending blacks.” However tyrants never want a pretext for cruelty, nor slaves to excuse that tyranny and cruelty. Some wretch, wo are told, strewed flowers even on tho grave of bloody Nero. Every sano men knows thst every effect mast hovo a cause, and that if you wish to destroy the effect, the cause must be removed. We think the cause of our lawlessness, wherever it be, springs from a root planted by Uadi oals like Orant, and watered by just such ao-oalled Democrats as the Memphis Av alanche. Tho administration of tho oivil laws have been for years in the Southern States in the hands of Iiadical Governors, Judges and Legislators, and thoy, and they alone, have created tho necessity, if it exists, for this Inst exhibition of des potism—martial law, whioh Blsckstono and other great jurists, both in England and in tho United States, have again, and ugain, declared an no law, but the mcro arbitrary act of a single will. Tho Pres ident grounds lua authority for tho sus pension of the writ of habeas corpus and the declaration of martial law on lawless ness which his officials huvo not punished rnd suppressed, and tho powor under tho Enforcement Aot, (the legitimate fruit of tho late amendments), tho condemnation of whioh excites the anger of tho Ava lanche and other kindred papers. Every wise patriot and statesman must appreciate and anticipate what the Stato is and will bo oven when tho civil law is wisely made and administered (which hss not been the case by Kadioal officials) when Governors are ready to pardon ouch criminal and our highost Courts declare that they aro legally licensed to do ao before a jury has tried or decided the guilt or innocence of the accused. Pardon before a conviction, and a drum head Court, tare eggs of tho mmo cock atrice nest, and both nro fatal to both private and publio liberty, protcotion ainl security. No ono but a tyrant would wish to execute auch a law in timo of peace, and no peoplo but slavos, would submit to such lnjustioo and wrong without a most solumn protestation. Montana. Don't fail to road our Montana letter to-day. It fa deeply interesting, and really wonderful in its recital. The writer fa a gcntlemuu from one of the Southern States, whom many of our readers personally know. Those Bonds ! Those Bonds The Legislature authorized tho Gov ernor, on tho port of the Stato, to in dorse the Bonds of tho Brunswick and Albany ltailread to tho extent of 815,000 per mile—taking a tint mortgage upon the whole road as security. Those bonds were to bo indorsed by tho Governor, registered, and the Great Seal attached; then to be delivered to the road t1 fust as sach coast native ten miles shall be fully completed and in nuwing order, and no faster. The bonds of the Stato, whioh were to be given to the road at the rate of 88,000 per mile, in exchange for the bonds of the road, (in addition to the foregoing indorsement), wore to be delivered to the road as fast as each consecutive ten miles faeompfatad, and no faster. Such fa tho low. Governor Bullock has had all the bonds fully executed and delivered to him. The •at mortgage of 816,000 have all been folly registered, indorsed, sealed and de- tMoAfcp tea owa ositer—the last of them ia April of this year—the aggregate aaoaaring to 88,800,000; sad by his own order the whole of the State bonds gi- ia exchange for the seoond mortgage bonds of the road, which it would have been entitled to had the road been folly to 81,880,000, have likewise been fully executed, regtk tend, sealed and delivered to tho Go A emor, by hie order—tho last of them These bonds should not have been ex ecuted sad delivered any faster than the road was completed. Wny has the Gov ernor ordered them all to be fully execu- Spd and delivered to him in advance of the completion of the road ? Wc know Hot what reason he will give; but au •■lawful use of them is the only one Heuda Cm, Moitana, October 10, 1871. Eprromt Atlaxta Daily Bun: Daring the week before last the Territorial Pair was held at the grounds near Helena. In many respects tho Fair was a very deci dod success, and in a financial poiut of view, all that could be expected; but some of our most successful ranchcmco and Btock-raisers were not present, owing to the great expense of bringing stock and produce by those at a distance. This fa the Association, which, thus far, has given vciy general satisfaction. The display in the Agricultural De partment would have been absolutely as tonishing to a person who has not seen the garden products and crops of Moutaua— cabbages weighing thirty itouuds, and upwards; potatoes, four and five pounds; radishes, two feet in eircumfercnce; beets weighing eight pounds, and more; a va riety of China cucumbers over six feet in length; and a squash weighing eighty- fivo pounds. I notice, ainung the list of premiums in this department, for the best crop of spring wheut, to 8. Peter son for soventy-two bushels from one hundred pounds, sown ou ono uud a quarter acres. For best crop of rye, to \V. S. Milligan, for fifty-two and a half bushels to tho acre. For tho host crop of oats, to W. H. Peterson for 120 hush els to tho sere. For the host crop of po tatoes, to Maj. J. F. Forbes, for five hun dred and twenty-one and a half bushels to the acre, In wheat, there were cer tainly larger crops than the above raised in the Territory, but they were not en tered for competition. But enough can be seen from tho above to satisfy tho most incredulous, that, ia the matter of grain and roots, Montana can safely challenge competition with any country in tho United States. Bat it is as a stock growing country that sho now stands, anu will ever con tinue to stand, without a rival on the whole North American Continent. Our stock are entirely healthy, very prolific, and require no attention the year round, savo enough to keep them from wander ing away. Tho bunch-grass, or buffalo- grass, which grows hero in greater luxu riauco, perhaps, tlum in any other coun try whatever, which causes it to lose, iu many places, its eharoetcristio distri bution in bunolies or dumps, and to cover tho wholo surface with a continuous pasturo, has a world-wide reputation as a nutritious nnd fattening food for stock, and is the strongest and best known of all grosses. It (lies early and our dry at mosphere cures it. It thus constitutes u standing hay, only it is a much better feed than any kind of hay that fa pro duced in the States. To pasture cattle on bnnoh grass is almost like feoding them on plenty of good hay, with regular and liberal allowances of grain. For wool-growing, I cannot see how any other country will ever be able to compete with it. We shall never be at tho expense of pasture, and not ono of the diseases to which sheep are subject in tho States can be found, or is likely to oxist iu future. In Texas and southern California the fibre of fiuo-woolcd ani mals is found contimiully to degonerato, nnd they will never bo able to equal us in advantages of pasturage. Iu our lati tude and altitude the fleece can never do teriorato, and the finest breeds of sheep will ilourish here ns they can no where else in tho United States. It is boliovod that tho Cashmere goat will succeed in Montana far better than in the States. It will find, in our bracing air, rich pastu rage and smooth confirmation of tho mountain rangos, a condition similar to that of its own native land. It is not beyond probability, that somo day wo shall soe domesticated the Alpaca sheop and Thibet goat, also, llaviug tho shoep upon our hills, and by far tho best water power in the wholo W'ost, in our valleys, nothing is more oertnin than that tho great wool manufacturing district of the W'est, indeed, of tbo United States, fa destined, at somo future dny, to 1)0 lo cated in Montana. To insure this, in tho future, it is only necessary that wo have railroad communication with tho Facitio ou the west and the Atlantic on tho east In fivo years, at farthest, this will lie an accomplished fact. With ono mighty loop, our young Stato (as it will then be) will take her place among tho old Com monwoalths of America. Iu mining, iu manufactures of wool iron, copper, silver, and gold; iu wool aud stock growing; iu the productiou of grain, roots, and all kinds uf vegetables; in these aud other elements of jmwer and prosperity, or iu a combination of them, it may be safely predicted that she will lx> without a peer.
