| brought TO point The matter came up to-day
in the House on bill introduced by MIR. Camp
bell for the relief Of Boise County. The bill

last Spring by a committee appointed by the Com,
missioners as due the county COR the expenses of
the Territorial! prisoners. 1he Territorial officers
claim set-oH for one quarter, up to the first of
| April last, All these nnancial matters efecting
BOISE county are intimately blended together, and
there are many conflicting Interests growing out
Of them, which, taken together with bill Tor the
Funding OF the county GeOt, and other matters,
render The whole difficult and delicate subject to
touch, but 1T Will have 70 be done. On the part
OF the House, MessrS. Beatty, Parkinson aud
Barnes were appointed to act on the joint COM
mlttee on The subject, and on the part OF the
Council, Messrs, Street, DilIey aud Fem. They
are empowered to send for books, documents and
witnesses and to thoroughly investigate the whole
subject, so that hereafter no man shall have an
opportunity of casting any imputaton upon this
Legislature of acting through prejudlees or any
unworthy motive. st9f y F. s-se =
