have anything to do with it--lhcy can't

A strapped Legislature.

A private letter from Olympia says near
ly all the members will be strapped on
the adjournment of the Legislature. Ow-
ing to the mixed up state Of affairs in the
Secretary's department, no money can be
drawn to defray the expenses of the ses-
sion, although the amount is now lying sub
iect 10 order in San Francisco. The writer
also says many of the members who have
plenty of means at home, have not suffi-
cient funds on hand to pay their board bills,
and will be compelled to borrow a sufficient
amount to pay their expenses home. An
other writer pitches into the Government
officials in this wise: The administra-
ton, under the most corrupt set of officials
that ever disgraced public Office has so sue
ceeded in muddling up the Secretaryship
that neither of them is allowed to draw
any money for the payment Of members =
The old Secretary can't draw it, because he
has been removed, but never informed of
the fact. The new one can't draw it be-
cause it is alleged he has failed to give the
bonds.

BY direction of the President of the
United States, the Commanding General
this day transfers the command of this army
to Maior General Hooker. The short time
that he has directed your movements has
not been fruitful of victory, nor of any

it has demonstrated an amount of courage
patience and endurance that, under more
favorable circumstances, would have accom-
plished great results. Continue to exer
else these virtues be true in your devotion
to your country and the principles you have
sworn to maintain, and give to the brave
and skillful General who has long been

will deserve success. Your Generals pray

Road to Boise

The people of Lewiston have been en-
deavoring all this winter to discover, or
have discovered for them, pass for road
from that city to the Boise mines. Parties
were still being sent out from that place up
to latest dates, with that object in view
The returning parties invariably report
finding good routes, but they no sooner
make known their favorable reports than
other parties are sent or go out, with view
to finding a better road The citizens of
that place deserve, for their perseverance
in the premises, to have good road to the
Boise mines and, inasmuch as the travel
from below will leave the river at Wallula
for these mines, we propose that they send
an exploring party down here, and assure
them if they will do so, that they will get
report stating the road leading from this
valley to be the best mountain pass to the
Boise mines ever discovered 1t will, per-
haps, be very little out of the way for
the people of Lewiston to travel by this
route; but it is better to go little out OF
the way than to go still farther out of the
way and it is better to go by a good road
than bad one and it it is better to come
by Walla Walla than to start and not get
to the mines at all.

REFINED TASTE, ,AGAIN.-"Scrantio," of
the Age, grows groUty over our comments
upon his ''tastes, called forth by lis ref
erence to the ''happy hours" he had spent
'with the abofiginees, summing himself Ia
Indian, with clutchman." After calling
us a slow bred cur" he makes the follow
ing erplanGtion
"In the meantime, we have set and
summed ourselves with Col Ripley, Capt.
Stoneman, Capt. Whiting, Secretary Ma
son, and host of other GENTLEMEN, while
the Indians were employed in cooking
them, without becoming contaminated by
their society, or descending the scale Of vir-
tue in thought deed or action"
AS "Scrantio" had been speaking Of oys-
ters and clans in the preceding sentence,
we don't presume that he meant to say that
the Indians we're employed in cooking the
gentlemen-as his language implies ;-and
it is further presumable that he meant tc
say that he did not become contaminated
by the society of the Indians, instead of the
Indians becoming so while they were cook
ing the gentlemen, or the oysters. Leav-
ing the gentlemen" out of the question
all we have to say is, the idea that "Scran.
| to- could have become contaminated by
the society of Indians is extremely ludi
crous';' but the association must have beer
very demoralizing to the Indians.

Doubtful Patriotism.

The low figure at which legal tender
notes are now rating offers fine opportu-
nifty for certain class of patriots to ex.
hibit their ardor in upholding the credi: O.
of individuals who avail themselves of the
opportunity to buy up legal tender notes a
fifty cents on the dollar and pay off theil
debts with them. While this may work
in certain cases, it is by no means com.
mendable as general rule; and while
with business men, these notes are rating
at anything less than their stated value, the
man who buys them up at e discount and
makes illegal tender of them for his in
debtedness, may be classed as doubtful
both in patriotism and honesty, Charity
in all cases, begins at home, and the man
whose patriotism" dictates that in order
to sustain the credit of the Government he
must defraud his neighbor out of his just
dues may at once be set down as the one
who would soonest rob the object of his
professed alteration. There seems to be
butone redeeming feature about this sys-
tenn of taking advantage of the legal ten
der law in the payment of debts, and that
is, many persons now jump at the favora-
Bile opportunity of squaring up old accounts,
who under ordinary circumstances would
never have thought ot it. There is, too
another advantageous feature Honest
men can now have an opportunity to spot
their neighbors who may be dishonesty
inclined. 1t will be source of satisfaction
to them to know whom they can trust.
Strict Constructionists.
Secretary Tourney, of Olympia, and Post
master Downer, of Lewiston, are living ex-
amples of the fact that the ''strict con-
structionists" are not all dead. Tourney
refuses to give up the Office of Secretary Of
the Territory notwithstanding another
has received a commission for the Office
on the ground that he has not been off.
cially informed of his removal, and thereby
stops the wheels of government in that de-
partment, and deprives the Representatives
of the dear people, of the means of OBJ
tanning their honest dues wherewith they
may pay their board bills. Downer i:
seized with an idea of the Importance O.
his position, and declines to deliver to the
contractor the mails forwarded to him from
the post Office here for the points above, or
the ground tha! he has not Teen notified o
postmasters being at either Of the place!
for which the mails are intended. The
mail agent publishes card in the Age, il
which he states that the persons appointed
as postmasters for Florence, Elk City anC
| Orc Fino are not in the country. In thi'
case, it is in the province of the postmas
ter at Lewiston to forward the mails t.
any responsible citizen in either of thest
towns, with a notice that on his taking thu
oath of Office before any authorized person
and filing bonds, he can perform the duties
of postmaster until an officer is regularl.
appointed. By his present "strict con
struction" policy he is depriving the peo
pie of these towns of their mail matter
and with the usual slow process of the De
partment in making appointments. he nigh

SAW MILLS.

Those enterprising gentlemen Messrs. Lever
idge, Newsome & Co., have completed their fine
steam saw mill, and they tell me that orders come
in faster than they can fill them. They have, also,
reduced the price of lumber to a fair figure and
we all appreciate it and wish them every success
There are, also, two other mills which are pro-
PEELED by water power, and for want of propelling
power are now idle.

BUSINESS. &c.

Business is improving slightly and from this
time on we hope it will continue to improve
There are still some leaving for the Boise mines,
and if we are to believe the reports from there it
must be great country. There must be some
thing that is enticing about these mnes for but
few return who go there, and they give very fiat
tering accounts.

SHosHoNE.-The new Territory of Sho-
shone proposed to be erected by Congress,
includes the Boise, Payette and Warren
mining regions, and, if we mistake not, the
Florence mines slso. Wonder how that
kind ofa division would suit the CRquetags
at Lewiston? 1t is evident that there is
more than one busy body at work on this
division question at Washington, and the
chances are that if division is effected, it
will be in such manner as to work injury
upon all sections of the upper country.

Wood river valley is one of the most eligible
points for a military post There is in that local
ity every convenience in the way of timber, water

is the place where the Snake Indians leave their

EDS. STATESMAN Il have noticed with
pleasure, spirit of improvement quite rife
in your city that is the adornment of the
numerous door-yards of your citizens, by
the planting of ornamental trees This
speaks well for the taste of the proprietors;
and while I feel inclined to compliment
them on this score, permit me TO make a
suggestion: that they combine the useful
with the ornamental, and substitute fruit
trees of various kinds for those of wild
growth. Nothing sets off premises to a
better advantage than handsome fruit
What is there that betokens better taste
and Judgment, and that too at a triaing
cost This may be urged at this time, be-
cause good trees of a reliable character can
be obtained right at home, and within the
limits of the city Yours, &c,
