EDs. STATEsMAN:-As the little humbug ma
gician of idaho has left us to resume that seat
obtained through the Vaccinations of unscru-
pulous vagabonds whom he bought with promi-
ses and (served them right paid them in ''gas,"

ARE THE TERRITORIAL FUNDS IN DANGER.
This questionsis creating considerable unea-
siness in official circles well as with the hon
est tax paying people of the Territory. 1t seems
by the ''Age," that the northern counties show
a clean sheet and that the money received has
been properly accounted for by the Territorial
Treasurer. But according to the statement of
the County Treasurer of Boise, he should have
some $40, 900 or more now in his hands which
should long since have found its way into the
hands of the Treasurer of the Territory and
been disbursed to her creditors True some
five thousand dollars was forwarded about three
weeks previous to election, with the promise
that some eleven thousand, then in hand, would
follow forthwith. We shrewdly suspect how
ever, that the fact of that amount being due
prominent Democrat whose influence seemed to
be confidently anticipated by the "authorities
that be- and those that hoped to be had more
to do with that remittance than said parties of
fetal would like to acknowledge. l wonder if
our worthy Springfield Judge did not feel a lit
it mayi since the election package has ar
rived from that locality, for our anxious Secre-
ta@y of the Territory, and those who claim to be
posted hint very strongly that large sums were
borrowed to stake upon the ticket in the last
election have no doubt but this is a mere
slander, but in order to keep the people who
support these public paupers, advised of the
scandal that is being circulated about their Off
cials, deemit proper to thus revert to the sub
ject. In order that your Republican readers
may not deem this an expected "McCIelan roor-
back, viii simply add that my informants are
undOubted Republicans, occupying positions
which entite them to credence in this matter
with perhaps one single exceptions; that of the
prominent Democrat whose excusable device
procured the payment ofhis six thousand dollar
warrant. ia
COMPLEXION OF THE NEXT LEGISLATURE.
The complexion of the next Legislature will
be considerably changed from that of the last

can at present be ascertained, Republicans to

''n7 '0'i7a'a PIG ''9 SMITH aa'ioa p. aia'i
The Hon. Secretary, with thoseG. BIS, is still
absent from the post Father Abraham assigned
/ him, and 'no whispering windh nor "gentle
zephyr" has waited hither the musical tale of
his whereabouts. We sometimes wonder if he
is not myth called into existence by the little
magic lantern of Idaho. When we reflect
that said gas-ight conjurer was the only person
to whom are indebted for any 'reliable" in
formation, we begin to doubt the identity ofthis
Smith, altogether. ..
However, when we next meet the high official
who proclaims "Abraham the chosen Of the
Lord y we may elicit some Information of inter-
est to your readers-perhaps a short sketch of
Smiths history, which we shall hasten to COM
municate for their amusement and the informa-
ton of Government creditors in Idaho.
