GOVERNOR LYON, OF IDAHO, IN AR
REARs.-PubliCati6n was recently made
that Cabel Lyon, of Lyonsdale, New York,
who has been Governor Of Idaho Terri.
tory for several years past, while on his
way FROM this city to New York, in the
night train, was robbed of the sum OF
fory-seren thousand dollars, Government
funds, which he held as a Superintendent
of Indian Affairs of that territory
Governor Lyon says he put the sum Of
money in a belt, (Which for protection
sake should be worn around the body.)
but that when he laid down in the sleep
ing car he put the belt under his head /;
that the thief took the money and left the
belt exactly where tho Governor put il.
To say the least, this was a considerate
theft who put the belt back under the
Governors bead. What makes the
statement about the loss of the money
seem very strange il the fact that Mr..
Lyon should have allowed himself 10
bring such n large amount of money on
his person 10 this city. There was no oc-
casion for it. lie could have deposited il
in any government depository and taken
a certificate therefor, the stealing of il
would not necessarily have subjected him
to the loss Of the money.
1t will appear by the record. we under
stand, that since July %, 1864, the Gov
eminent has advanced to Superintendent
Lyon, at different times, about one hun
dred thousand dollars. for which,. we
learn, he has never rendered any account
whatever. Therefore Governor Lyon
will not only have to account to the Gov
erument for the SIT 900 taken from the
belt under his head, but for the still
larger sum named above, the disbursement
Of which there is no official detail render

Voters Not Registered.

By the Registry Law, as will be
seen by reference to the section which
we publish to-day, all legal voters who
are not registered, can readily vote by
making the affidavit required. The
Republican Committees have pro-
vided printed blanks, so that there
will be no difficulty in having the aft
davits prepared. Voters at the Second
or Upper Precinct will find these
blanks in the City Clerks office. and
Notary at hand to administer the
oath: in the First, or Court House
Precinct, at the Auditors Office; and
in the Third, or Lamasco Precinct, at
WILTsHIRE's Shop Let voters and the
Rallying Committees remember these
places, and see to it that no Union
vote is lost because it is not registered.
The law requires, in addition to the
affidavit OF the voter, the oath of a
freebooter that he is a resident of the
precinct where he expects to vote. s.

THE only danger Of DARLINGs de-
feat, to-day, arises from the fact that
Republican business men may neglect
to go to the polls, or refuse to stay and
cast their votes because Of the crowd
and necessary delay in receiving the
votes occasioned by the new registry
law. We hope no Republican will
neglect to do his duty in this particu-
lar However little interest citizen
may feel in an election, it is his duty
to vote. This is duty he cannot
shirk or delegate to others. If our
principal business men cannot
take. time to discharge this
duty, they may rest assured it will
not be neglected by those who
have not the same pecuniary interest
in the correct management of public
affairs. Few of our business men be-
lieve that the election of man to
the office of Sheriff, who expects by
it to repair losses incurred by .unsuc-
cessfuI financial operations, will be
conducive to the best interests of the
county. Sheriff DARLING's record has
been criticised closely and sharply by
a paid Attorney, and reviewed mali
ciously and falsely by an unscrupu-
lous paper, and yet he has been able
to fully .yindicate his, integrity by re-
plying to the charges, seriatins, and
refuting them all This fact should
stand to his credit in the estimation
of all honest men. 1t will be time
enough for Mr.. MILLER to boast of
his honesty when he has passed
through similar ordeal and escaped
unbarmed. ou
Let every Union man who has talk
ed in times past of rewarding those
who fought the battles of the coun-
try, make up his mind to cast his vote
for DARLING in spite of obstacles and
delays. r

the statement In the JOURNAL in re-

THE Courier says the mendacious
JOURNAL" does not dare to charge
MILLER with dishonesty. The JOUR-
NAL charges no man with dishonesty
unless it can sustain the charge. The
Courier pursues the opposite course.
1t first makes charge and then en-
deavors to find the evidence to sus-
tain it. Mr.. MILLER may be very
honest man. We have said nothing
to the contrary, because we. know
nothing. This fact proves that we
have some regard for truth, and con-
victs the Courier Of falsehood when
it calls us mendacious. Out of its
own mouth that paper is condemned.

MILLER's politics are enough to out

influence in favor of the enemies Of
the country is net the man to elect to

The State Elections To-Day,

The States of Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Iowa hold their annual elections
to-day. Ohio and Iowa elect Govern
ors; single Representative in Con-
gress is to be chosen from Pennsylva-
MIA, in. place of Mr.. DENNIsoN de-
ceased. and one from Ohio, vice Gen
eral RUTHERFORD B. HAYES, who.
having accepted the nomination for
Governor, has resigned his seat. The
Democrats tried to nominate a candi- :
date, but quarrelled-part of them in
sisting on an out-and out Copperhead,
while the rest wanted to run soldier;
so they gave it up, and are support
ing General SAMUEL +. CARY, Gre
publican), who is the. independent
candidate, against RICHARD SMITH.
the regular Republican candidate.
La 1864, Mr.. LINCOLN carried Ohio by
a majority of 1856; in 1865 the Re-
publican majority was 29,546, and last
year it was over $4,000. These figures
would seem to indicate that there
ought to be no doubt of the result
now, and we think there is none. We
are confident that General HAYES,
the excellent Republican candidate
for Governor, viii be chosen by ma
jority that will bear satisfactory per-
centage to the aggregate vote.
The election in Iowa rs for Gov
ernor, Lieutenant Governor, Judge of
the Supreme Court Attorney General
and Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton. As Iowa has come to be one of
the most steady and decisive Republi-
can States in the Union, there can be
but little question of the result, not
withstanding there is an Independent
ticketin the field. Last year the Re-
publican candidate for Secretary Of
State had upward Of 81, 900 majority.
In 1865 Governor SToHEs majority
was 6,375, while LNCoLN's majority
in 1864 was 50 900. The majority this
year may possibly be reduced below
the average of these figures, but it
will be sufficient for all practical pur-
poses. s3Hat
In Pennsylvania, the only State
officer to be chosen is a judge of the
Supreme Court, and Judge WILLIAMS,
of Pittsbu is the Republican, and
Judge SHARswooD, of Philadelphia,
the Democratic candidate. The lat
ter is man of liability, but his openly
avowed sympathy with secession and
rebellion ought to exclude him from
Office. Nevertheless, as the vote is
certain to be quite light-there being
only one Office to be filled-ahd as the
majority last year in the State W;
only II, 178, it is not altogether GER
tain what the result may be. A Leg |
islature is to be elected, by which the
occasioned by the expiration
of the term of BUCKALEw, Democrat,
is to be filed.
r We hope to be able in the morning
to give some intelligence of the general
result in those States, unless the vote
should be close.
