prospects at the commencement Of the min
ing season, are, that more than double the
amount Of gold will -be taken out this sea
son that was last year Proportionately
more, however, will remain in the country
in circulation here, and more find its way
directly eastward than last season. So the
San Francisco Journals may still be expected
to observe that becoming reticenee on the
subject Of the prospects and resources of this
portion of the Pacific slope which has hith-
erto prominently exhibited their kindly re-
gard and disinterested consideration for the
residents and interests of Idahn BY the
way, rumor hath it, upon what authority
your correspondent knoweth not, that the
Boise country probably forms a component
part Of the existing, or to exist, new Terri
tory of Montana, and several prominent
'Repubs, commonly believed and making
pretentious claims, to stand high in the af-
fections (O and to be deep in the confidence
Of the selfdenying patriot (?) and illustrious
statesman (O Wallace, (who by virtue of
fraudulent votes and the fat of an angry
God, misrepresents this Territory in Con
gress,) give credence to the report Won
der if the soldiers at Fort Boise and Lap
wal and Walla Walla will not be allowed C?)
(commanded) to vote at the ensuing Ore
gon State election? Those at Fort Boise
last year voted for the candidates for Con-
gressional honOrs at the elections respect
lively in Washington Territory, California,
and Idaho. 1t can hardly be possible that
the Oregon election will be omitted in the
programme
Where is the loyal man hereafter who
can dispute the validity of the soldier vote
on this coast? What wonder the Supreme
Court Of California hauls in its judicial
horns, and recognizes the lhigher law" of
the Sacramento Union upon that yexed
question? ?
The first term of the District Court of this
Territory for the second Judicial District, in
and for Boise County, closed on the 9th of
the present month, having been in session
since the 23d day of February No import
ant civil cases were tried, owing to Judge
Parks desire to go to the State of Illinois,
where he formerly resided, after his family,
in time to return and hold the July term OF
the court A large number of criminal ca
ses were tried, and with result generally
satisfactory to the community, if not to the
accused, although there were no convictions
for murder in the first degree The presi-
ding Judge won aurels at his first term
here which have so far been worn with ap-
propriate dignity and decorum. The mem
bers Of the bar held a formal bar meeting at
the Court House just previous to the final
adjournment Of the Court, passed a compli-
mentary resolution to the Judge, and after
court had finally adjourned a public supper
was given by them to the officers of the
court which was a very pleasant affair
Judge Parks left few mornings afterward
on his trip to the States.
The City Charter, Incorporating Idaho
city, was voted down by the "dear peops, "
who came in for that purpose from miles be-
yond the corporate limits on election day
and had 1t all their own way. Comparatively
few in town went to the polls at all and but
little interest was felt in the matter. The
Democrats were superatively Indifferent,
and the Union League and anti Union
League Repubs. had several tickets of can
didates anxious to serve their country by
filling municipal Offices all of which, lucky
for the pockets of the people, were defeated
1t was something like the vote on the Con.
stitution in Nevada Territory last fall Con
gress seems to be oblivious of the fact that
Boise county alone in Idaho polled a larger
vote last election, than Nevada Territory in
the aggregate for and against the State Con
stitution Query; If Nevada ought to be
a State as the Lycurguses % and Solops(D
at Washington including Father Abraham
seem to think, ought not a Territory with
nearly double the population Of Nevada also
to become State Idaho to-day numbers
very nearly if not quite double the popula-
tion of Nevada with every prospect Of an
unprecedented increase continuously for
years. ARGUS.
