.spearl of Creation has been for many centu7
rfes past, inhabited by numerous indian
tribes, who lived on the productions Of hunt
ing fishing, and the multiplicity of roots and
fruits which abound through nil this coun-
try. These numerous tFibes of Indians were
living happily, because they possessed all
they desired am too hasty. The only
thing. they had moi, was a knowledge of the
Author of their existence, in order to honor
Him, and to glorify His name. Theaborigines
Of this country, at that time, were numbered.

COUNTY AFFAIRS.

:
The length of the report of the Proceed
ings of the Board of County Commissioners
fhas excluded an editorial on the condition Of
Boise county, on the transfer Of the Offices to
the new incumbents. We shall refer to the
subject in another issue; but we will observe
here, that the exhibit, as far as developed, is
most deplorable. Boise county is bankrupt.
The county debt cannot be much less than
zone hundred thousand dollars, and it may
exceed that sum. The official books and
records, where there is any at all, are in a
horrible state. Some of the records have
been rewritten, and no trace cen be discern
ed of the originals. Everything is in state
of confusion. a
The Board has ordered thorough investi-
cation of County affairs, and appointed a
Commission for that purpose. It is a judi
cious movement, and the indications now are
that it will develop state of things which
will astonish the people.

TAXES FOR BoUNTY.-Gpv. Lyon has writ

of four companies of. volunteers for military
service-acting, it is reported, under instrue-
tons. of the: Commander of the Pacific De-
partment.. a. member from O@yhee, in sac-
cordance with the Recommendation, introduce
ed in the Council bill for raising four COM
panies, by issuing bonds and levylnga special
tax to raise funds to pay each volunteer fifty
dollars bounty, and ten dollars per month
during the war. The discussion over the bill
was very excited-the Republicans support
ing, and the Democratic members opposing
the adoption Of tie proposition. Itpfevailed
in the Council-noes :: Fem, Waterbury and
DiIey. A, letter from member of the AS
sembly assures us that it would be defeated
in that body. The writer adds that, I" if it
should become a law, would increase the
taxes largely, and cost the Territory about
$50, 900 per annum, at the lowest estimate.

TRE NEW COUNTY.

The heavy storms have blocked up the road
between Lewiston and this city, and the latest
intelligence from the Capital is not of very
late date The bill for the division of Boise
county passed the lower House, and would,
probably, pass the Council. It is possible
that it was defeated by coming up too late
for the Governors signature; if rot, Boise
Valley has probably declared its independ-
ence, and will set up for itself under the
name of Ada county. The title-Ada-
though good enough as a name, appears, to
US, hardly appropriate, There are many
beautiful names, native to the country and
full Of Significance, which would have been
more appropriate than the one selected, or
that Of Valliss as suggested by one Of the
members.
The bill provides that DR.. McIteeny, Dan'l
Stuart and Z. D. Montgomery, shall serve as
a Board Of County Commissioners until the
first Monday Of March, when a special election
shall be held for County officers 1.-The Board.
appointing the County officers holding until
that time. It also provides for the ap portion.
1nent Of the debt Of Boise county. The bill
as amended, is as good as the subject allows.

The APPoRTIoNMENT.- The Legislature has
had under consideration q bill fixing differ
ent apportionm ent. Of Legislative representa-
ton: 1t passed. the Council some, time ago.
The bill originally gave BOISE county ten
members of the Assembly, and FIVE Council
men. On motion of Mr.. Pierce fafter the
passage .ofathe bill, in the Council, dividing
the county, it was amended so as to give
Boise ,countys after the. division, eight Assem-
blymen and four Coun cilmen,- the Council to
consist of eleven members, and the Assembly
of twenty-five. It would probably pass in
that form, though all the smaller counties
were jealous of the preponderating power Of
Boise county, and DESTROYS of restricting the
representation to the smallest possible num-
Der. This bill will give Boise county a bet
ter show for justice than it had during the
last session. 5aH g i..w fat q

what the soldiers would do.

1t is hardly, necessary to remind our
readers of the threats made by the radical
press, and by radical individuals, of the {
complete cleaning out of .Butternuts" and r
'sCopperheads" that would be effected as
soon as the soldiers returned. W. .'
That class of political agitators (andwe
are glad to record the fact that though very
noisy, they are minority of the Republic
can parity, were. loud in proclaiming what
they intended to do when they had the solA
diers to back them. Applying the phrases
"Copperhead," /" YButternut,nI &C., to the
DenAcratic party as, terms of reproach,,
they hoped to intlame the passions of the
soldiers, and thus make them do the work
their cowardly souls dare not undertake. 15l
But the Radicals counted without their
host. While they Were in safety at home,i'
connecting their schemes of Negro Equali-f
ty, and praising negro troops above. the.
white, and shameless heaping abuse upon
the head Of that veteran and accomplished
officer, Major General Sherman, the soldiers
were exposing their lives in fighting ttied
battles of their country They have now,
returned, and are getting their eyes open to
the true condition of things at home; for
they can see and hear for themselves, ana
are no longer liable to be imposed upon by
false statements They have returned, too,
to show the Radicals that they do not SYM
pathize with their Negro Equality schemes,
and have too high an appreciation of the
valor andshDn0r of o soldier to be engaged
ih their mob enterprises, The cleaning out,
process, which was to have rid the earth of
Democrats, has therefore been pdstponedo 2
