LETTER FRoM LEWISTON.

ED1ToR WoaLD: Much has rranspired since
my last that will interest amuse, and doubt
less disgust a portion of your readers.
Since the abrupt and clandestine perform
ance of the great "Lyon of Lyonsdale," in
eVading the law of the land, came off, we
have had much that furnishes food for thought
and comment. We have had new aspirants
for fame in the gubernatorial ring. We have
had attempts of amateurs perpetrated in our
midst that had palmed themselves off as old
stagers. He of the Conncil from Owyhee,-
disciple of Blackstone, (shade of Lycurgus

of throwing back summerset, simply broke
his own neck After attempting to establish
the seat of Government at Walla Walla upon

official papers therefrom, the two worthless,

friends thus embarked on board mule train
for Washington and g Abraham's BOSOM"

rigging political hambugs, after understand
ingly playing the same role, like the pettiest
criminal, under false pretenses. Little wonder
is it that our county officials are delinquent
in their accounts when W properly consider
them of the same father and feather. An old

HONOR AND ADMIRATION,

Some Of our contemporaries, in dis
cussing the question of State nomina-
tions, think the returning soldiers are
entitled to the "honor and admiration"
ofthe people, but not to the Offices in
their gift. "Honor and admiration"
are cheap commodities, and very poor
pay. They are exceedingly like the
''sympathy" rendered by the Demo-
cratic party last fall, and the 'scare,
protection, regard and kindness" prom
ised in case that party should come in
topower. We don't believe the SOL
dierr care very much for these out
gushings Of tenderness aud admiration,
aud We base our belief on the way they
voted last fall.
Now, we wish it distinctly under
stood that We are not "biddiug' for
soldiers votes, any more than we want
to give them an opportunity Of voting
for themselves. We believe the Union
party to be pledged in honor, and by
word and deed, to bestow their nomina.
tions, in all practical cases, upon the
men who have borne the brunt of bat
tie. It is if the following clause from
its platform means anything: ~ d."
Il that the nation owes to them
1.-THE soldiers) some permanent recognition
OF their patriotism and valor, and ample
and permanent provision for those Of their
survivors who have received disabling and
honorable wounds in the service Of the
country.
We would not advocate the nomina.
ton of any man, whether a civilian o,
a soldier, for an Office if he were incom-
potent to perform its duties. But this
difficulty does not stand in the way oil
the people of Minnesota in the present
case. Both the regimental command.
ers named in connection with the Office
of Governor are men of acknowled ged
ability, integrity and worth, and in nc
enviablc characteristic at all behind any
gentleman whose name has been pro
posed from the civil walks of life.
Col. Henry Rogers, whose name ii
generally accepted for the nomination
Of Secretary Of State, is in every way
capable of .discharging the duties o.
the Office, save as his bullet-shattered
right arm is hindrance. We scarce
ly think this would prove a serious i'm
pediment to the action of convention
in bestowiug upon him not only "hon
or and admiration" but also the nomi
nation asked for by his friends.
1t is not probable that more than tn,
three first Offices will be filled by mill
tary men, or asked for by their friends
and we do not think it will be draw
ing too severely on the stock of "hono
and admiration" of some of our politi
cal associates to ask that they will joir
heartily IN the bestowal of these some
what more substantial tokens of good
