cosnopoLIrEs LETTER.


Ed. WoRI.D-Tn the constitutional action which
the people of the territory of Idahoare now taking
to purify their FederalJ udciary and to rid them
selves of the trash. who by trickery and misrepre
sentatlon, have managed, TO the detrlment OF the
tpeorle and best interests of the whole country, to
seat themselves in the honorable positions which
they do now and are yet to occupy, they appeal
for the business of their cause to the good sense of
their fellow citizens and the people of the Pacific
coast, who, at some period of their brief history.
have tasted the fruits of this monstrous evil.
Judging blythe past history of Washoe, there
will not, for the next four years to come, be
another community or section Of country in the
whole domain of the United States, that will need
more honest, a more VirtuouS, or more learned
and scientific Judiciary than will the Territory Of
Idaho.
In view Of these facts, and taking into consider
alton the merits of those VINO now wear the
Judicial ermine of Idaho is not the action of the
people for their own safety and the protection of
their rights wise and judicions
AS the work has SO begun, let it go bravey on
until the end desired is consumated, by the APP
pointment of Judges who will not only be learned
in the profession Of the law, but who will be an
honor to the country and an ornament to the
position occupied
AS an incentive to the U. S. Senate to refuse the
confirmation of Kelly and Cumnlins, as District
Judges for Idaho, let the Territorial Legislature
which is now in session, pass joint resolution to
that effect, and with petitions of the people to
the same end, let them soon as possible be sent
to the Chairman Of the u. S. Senate Judiciary
committee who, ever watehful Of the best interests
of the hardy pioneers ina Territory, will at once
take favorable action in thematter.
To hope or expect that these fellows will of
their own accord resign the positions which they
have surreptitiOuslY obtainedy against the will Of
united people, is futile, and will only prove 10 be
hope de eSed. Let the Legislature, in conjunction
with the people, move in this matter and we NAV
tn
men who will at least hold one term of the
Supreme COurtSin three years. = r. EprEf r 4
As an illustration of the calbre Of Kelly and
Cnmmins, ] will but say, that during the two ard
ahalf or three years, which the shingles of
these fellows have been hung out in 1dahO they
cannot point to the records aud show where they
have been engaged in one, of whata lawyer wonld
call, respeetablec case, Again 1t Is not more
than. year since, that papers drawn up by this
would be Judge, CummlIls, were thrown out Of
Justice Court. SQUIRE M artin's of OWyhee, for

On the receipt here of, "Cosmopote'sn second
letter, great indignation was felt by some few
individuals who OF course were all dlsinterested
parties \ secret meeting followed, the object of
which was to express their hatred and contempt
for your CORES pundent, and to adopt the best
means of 6tding out who +heiterfible fellow was
that would dare to attack Reynolds learned and
most excellent Judge and show up his imbeGilty y
The conversation that transpired between
these worthless was lndicrous in the extreme, ard

course your correspondent was voted an outlaw,
only fit to stretch KeHtncky hemp with the advice
of Kelly. Look out my boys you have get a
traitor in your camp, and "Cosmopote2 found
him lust ten minutes after your meeting adjourned.
The only news, of Importance is OF Legislative
proceedings, of which, your CHIEF, who is here as
a member, will doubtless keep you posted. Thus
far there has been nothing done further than the
