From idaho

) We are indebted to friend fora copy
OF the idaho Statesman, from which we
gather the following items of news: For
ty or fifty teams pass through Boise City
daily, bound for Oregon. They look well
and seem to be comfortably provided for
their long journey. Two or three yoke
of oxen and one of cows usually complete
q team, sometimes one or two span of
horses or mules. The immigration is
mostly from Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri
and Illinois. From record kept at Fort
Laramie, it appears that up to the 30th of
June, over sixty thousand head Of stock,
and eighty thousand wagons had passed
that place this season, westward bound.
By an advertisement in the paper, we
see that board is worth $12 per week;
board and lodgings, SIS. Lumber is worth
from $40 to $50 per thousand.
The same paper says that Beriah Brown,
the subjugated rebel editor of San Fran
cisco, is in Guaymas. He says he would
rather be a subject of the old crazy French
Auricurian king, than a citizen of the
United States, No one objects to his
choice.

Child Murder.

A DR.. Wade, who resides in Crawford
county, was arrested for child murder last
week, and bound over to appear before the
Crawford county circuit court to answer to
the charge. The enormity of the crime,
which if reports are true, is fully proven,
is the more appalling, ,diabolcally inhuman,
the child of which he is accused of murder
ing being his own offspring.
The facts as told to US are substantially
as follows: His wife was lately confined,
some of the neighboring women attending
her. When the child was born, the moth
er and others noticed particularly that it
cried strong and healthy. The DIR. inn
mediately asked for it, and taking it in his
hands held it few minutes when he said
that "the child is dead" Suspicion be-
ing aroused, the DR.. was arrested. On
examining the body of the child it was
found that death had been caused by
strangulation, as the blood had gathered
at the back Of the neck where it had been
held. From the testimony of his wife it
appears that this is the third child that has
died in the same manner.-Boscobet Broad

. AFFAIRS IN MEXICO.


If late reports from the Gulf be
true the whole of the Rio Grandc
country-indocd the whole of Mexico
proper-may now be said to be thor
oughly, "subjugated' by the Impcr-
ali' Is. All the reports that have
heretofore been forwarded to the
American journals by the over san.
guinc friends of the Liberal cause
ut Havana and other points, alleging
that "MaXmimilian is in bad way"
and that his early return to Europe
is an event that may reasonably be
expected, ,--secms to have been in the
light of this late news wholesale fab
relations. We received these stories
with satisiaction--we printed them
with some missivings; but now it
seems to us a duty TO say they must
have been all, or nearly all, simply
the offspring OF lively imaglnations.
The Emperor Maximilian now will
probably increase his derences along
the line of the Rio Grande, and we
should not be surprised that when the
next event of military Importance
transpircs in that region, move
more famous than that of General
Ncgretc will be conspicuous figure
in it. General Phil. Sheridan by this
time must be at Galveston-and if
the winds have been propitious, Maj
Gen. Weitzel, backed by the Twenty
Fifth Corps, cannot be far away from
Brazos, Santiago, Indianola, and
Brownsville; the whole force amount
ing to about $4,000 men. These
troops, it is true, have been sent to
restore the authority of the Federal
Government in TeXas-but, rs that
authority is everywhere respected
there now, by the rebels, it is reas-
enable to infer that they will be en-
ployed as an army of observation On
the Rio Grande, TO bG ready FOR any
emergency that may arise, in that
quarter. That some emergency may
arise, it must he confessed, seems
probable enough from the scheme
that seems to be ahoat to build up on
Mexican soil under the protection of
French guns, Colony composed OF
people who in the nature Of things
cannot be expected to bear us much
goodwill. That scheme is directly
iorcshadowod by the telegram from
Cairo to the Associated Press:

The Senatorial Nominees.

We find the following in the Tole,
do Blade Of the 18th inst:
The nominations of James G. Hall,
of Lucas, and Parlee Carlin, Of Han
cock county, for Senators from this
District, by the Union Convention
held in this city yesterday, have al
ready been announced. The action
of the Convention in this, as in all
other proceedings, was harmonious
and pleasant.
The Union men Of the district have
ticket eminently worthy their sup
port. Neither of the nominees need
any introduction by us. Mr.. Hall,
in hIs service for one term, has dem
onstrated his fitness and usefulness.
Few new members of the Senate have
taken rs high rank as did he from the
first and by his ability and fidelity
to business, he increased in influence,
until he occupied the important po-
sition of head of the Finance Com
mittee. His denomination by accla-
nation was q compliment of which
he may justly be proud.
Mr.. Carlin ia one of the oldest cit
izens and most prominent business
men of the district, having settled at
Findlay over 30 years since, and from
that time until the present has been
a member of the well known firm of
S. & u. Carlin, millcrs and dealers in
merchandise. Probably no business
firm in Northwestern Ohio has gain
ed higher reputation for integrity
and far dealing than this, and it is
quite certain that it is the oldest bus
mess co-partncrship in the district.
AS q man, Mr. Carlin has always COM
the confidence and respect of
his fellow -citizcns in an eminent de-
gree. His political antecedents are
Democratic, he having always acted
with that party until the rebellion,
since which time he has been a con-
sistent and earnest supporter of the
Government in it's war policy, and of
the Union organization. He has had
considerable legislative experience,
having been elected to the House of
Representatives three times-oy the
Democrats in 1886 and about 1856,
and by the Union party in lS63-on
each Of which occasions he served
with very general acceptance.
With such ticket, the Union mem
Of the SD Senatorial district have
every encouragement for united and
earnest effort, which can only be iol-
lowed by triumphant victory.

ruE APLoGIsTs OF TRAITOR



The Copperhead presses from the
beginning of the war have lost nc
opportunity of apologizing for The
crimes of the rebels, of defending
them and of casting opprobrium up
on the Union officials and the Union
cause.
They have persistcntly denied that
any Union soldier was ever starved
by Rebel authorities-denicd it not
only in the face of sworn testimony,
but Of the statements of their own
Incighbors who survived the cruel
tics practiscd upon them. On the
other hand, these sheets were filed
week after week with lying state
mcnts of cruelties practlsed upon
rebel soldiers and citizens by Union
soldiers and authorities, with u view
OF showing that all the humanity and
christianity was on the rebel side,
and all the cruelty and barbarism up.
on ours. At the end of the end of
the war they engaged ia proving that
jeff. Davis, when captured, was not
dressed in his wife's clothing. They
were very much interested in proving
the Arch Traitor of the rebellion free
from this act of womanly fear. The
people of the country will recollect
very distinctly how, when little over
-four years ago, the conspirators in
vented the Scotch Plaid Cloak story
in connection with our late lamentcd
President, these same papers labor
cd to propagate the falsehood, and
sneered Mt Mr.. Lincoln for what they
were pleased to term his cowardicc.
They now seek TO pcrvert the truth
to screen the disunion leader, as they
then tried, by misrepresentation and
falsehood to injure the character of
the loved and lamentcd Union Chief
tain.
Davis was their President, Lincoln
was ours, and for this reason they de-
Tended the one as they have abused
aud misreprcsented the other.
But the last development of love
for the defunct confedcrscy is the
zeal with which they dcnounce the
trial, conviction and execution of the
OF the President. Those
bloody traitors, whose hands are red
with the blood OF Lincoln, and who
IN intent were guilty of Il score of
murders, are being held up by these
pimps of Rebellion as martyrs
