The VAGARIEs OF RADICALIsM. 1t used to
be, when Abraham Lincoln was President of
the United States, cardinal doctrine of the
Radicals that the President was the Govern
ment, and that all who opposed the President
were traitors and rebel sympathigers, fit only
to be mobbed, imprisoned and hanged, at the.
mere wills and pleasure of the Government
"a. Lincoln,) without Judge or Jury but
now Congress has become the Government,
since Congress agrees with them and the
President does not, and every man who does
not now bow down to and worship the new
Government Congress-, and denounce the
old one, (the President,) is stigmatised as a
traitor and rebel sympathizer. If the people
should elect Congress this Fall that does
not agree with the Radicals, according to
their logic, we shall have no Government at
all or every Radical will become Govern
ment himself, and claim the privilege of
numbering every one who questions his right
to do just what he peases.
Is there man who is not a political fanatic
who believes that this Government of ours
can be peacefully and successfully admins
tered by the revolutionary Radicals, who
call themselves Union party, while every
act they do, and every principle they pro-
claim, proves them to be revolutionists and
anarchists, instead of peaceable law-abiding
citizens?

CURRENCY IN OwYHEE.-A large meeting
Of the business men and citizens generally OF
Silver and Ruby Cities, Owyhee, was held
October 18th, at which the following was
unanimously passed, and subscribed to by
about one hundred persons:
WHEREAS, The present circulating medium of
Owyhee county, /. T., consisting of United States
currency, Jordan Greek gold dust, and Boise gold
dust is now being passed and received by the citi
zens of our county at much higher rate than the
actual value thereof thereby causing confusion in
business and general dissatisfaction;
Now, therefore, we, the undersigned, bust ness
men of said county, believing that the gen eral
interest and financial welfare of our comm unity
demand that some action be taken to change the
standard of value, and with that aim in view we
solemnly bind ourselves to and with each other
Thursday, the first day of November, A. D. 1866,
and forever thereafter will adopt, and abide
by the following standard, without evasion or
change in any manner whatsoever:
For United States currency-eighty per cent. of
the par value thereof so long as the coin value of
the same shall remain under seventy.fiYe cents
per dollar in the San Francisco market and when
ever the same shall rise or fall in said Market the
value here shall fluctuate in the same ratio
For Jordan Creek gold dust-$l0 per ounce.
For Bannock gold dust-sl2 per ounce.
All of said gold dust to be thoroughly cleaned
before received.
Believing that the above change will conduce to
the general welfare of our community, we SIM
cerely recommend its adoption by all classes of
citizens.

The JEWS AS PEoPLE.-The Baltimore
American, in reviewing new work, called
"The Students Scripture History of the Old
Testament" thus refers to the Jews as a
people:
"a more wonderful nation than the Jews has
never walked on the earth. Their history has
been constantly unfolding miracle. Curiousy
enough, for more than twenty centuries they have
been a people without a country. They have
been by turns, slave and ruler, prophet, priest
and king. outcast often but beggar never, in every
quarter of the globe but this. Question the Jew
of his deseent and he would declare that the best
blood of all the Towards would run muddy in his
VEINS and laugh to scorn the boastful claimant of
Norman ancestry. His fathers created thrones
and sat upon them more than thousand years
before England ceased 80 be Welf's den. The
ashes of dead nations lie on every page of his
history. He has seen all the kingdoms of the
earth vanish away like the shifting scenery of
the stage, while he alone has borne a charmed
life. And still greater events await this mysteri
GUS people. Christ declared that the Jews shall
be led away captive into all nations and Jerusa-
lem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles until
the time of the Gentiles shall be fulflled.'n

EDITOR WORLD the snow has disappeared
from the hills about here and the weather is soft
and balmy. learned this morning from relia-
bic official source that Secretary Hewlett has per-
iected an arrangement which viii afford the most
ample accommodations for the meeting of the
Legislature this winter SO the lately mooted
question of Legislature or no Legislature is settled.
The increasing demand for dwellings has stim-
ulated our mechanics and moneyed men to activity
in putting up cottages. There is also nearly I'm
ished the largest and most complete hotel build
ing ever erected in the Territory, which will be
kept by that competent ana popular host, Thos.
r. Hart. late of the international Hotel az Placer
vile. in your county. The main building is three
stories, so BY &c feet, with two wings-one "a by
2S. and the other "a by 56 feet, and two stories
each. There Will be forty bedrooms and separate
parlors for ladies and gentlemen. The hotel will
be fitted up the best style, with all the modern
improvements.
Ben. Anderson, another of the bed rock pioneers
of PIaEervlle, is here. He has taken the popular
stand long kept by H. C. Riggs and is refittng it
in the handsomest, completest style.
A hurdygurdy institution was opened last even
ing, and what with the music, the noise OF the
dancers, and the later yaporings produced by the
nitro glycerine whiskey, the peaceful jewellers IN
that vicinity suffered from the nuisance.
Our merchants are daily receiving their winter
stocks of merchandise, and good season for trade
is anticipated. 1t is strange, however, that your
merchants in Idaho City sell goods of all kinds at
materially lower prices than our merchants, and
ladies here declare they can purchase finer, richer
and more stylish dress goods in Idaho City than
in Boise City, and at wonderfully cheaper rates
They ask for the WORLD every week tc learn from
the new advertisements about the latest receipt OF
the class of goods they wish, so as to send or go
themselves and procure them. Our merchants
might derive good lesson from this, and in the
future lay in choicer goods for ladies' and sell at
more reasonable prices. a

TouCHIse ScrDBSr.-Ths Meridian (Miss.
Messenger tells the following

Last night we noticed at hotel here a
Federal soldier rise from his seat at the table
TO wait on one-armed Confederate soldier
who couldn't help himself very well. 1t was
delicate attention, kindly received, and il
contrast with growing complaint by per-
SON at the same table at dinner that the at
tention of servants was taken up in waiting
ON one-armed men. The spirit of that gray
haired Federal soldier could do more toward
reconciling North and South than any spirit
which has ever invaded the room where the
Committee of Fifteen hold their sessions, and
pump all sorts of stories out of all sorts of
witnesses.

CoNyIcTING THEMsELvEs.-Th Radicals say
that the President cannot write or speak q
dramatically correct sentence, and argue,
therefore, that he is too ignorant to occupy
high public station. Why, this is but con-
victing themselves. They knew ali about
that when they nominated him for Vice Pre-
sident-and he was certainly as ignorant
then as now. But they must remember that
Lincoln was also painfully lacking in gram
