of a Massachusetts bible whanging, nasal

will be remembered by many as one Of
Mr.. Colfax's principal stirrup holders
during his celebrated tour to the Pacific
coast some years ago-the time he came
laden with "glad tidings of great joy"
to ye honest miners, said tidings consist

Speaker has a goOdly supply. But as we
propose, in this article only to notice his
man Friday, Powles, we will drop the
distinguished Speaker until such time
as his mostpotent highness may gracious

us how the "martyred President" loved
ye honest miners.

"They are Gone"

The Territorial New Enterprise, of
March 10th, under the above caption Sc
verely criticises the acts of the late legis
lature of that State. Our readers by
consulting our frstpage can satisfy them
selves of the character of the eulogium
paid by the Editor of the Enterprise up
on his own party brethren. A few months
since an Idaho legislature closed its la
bors, and the most that could be said of
it by its political opponents was, that the
Legislation was reckless" "The scene
in the council chamber was disgraceful."
"The closing scene was Infamous" The
facts are, that Radicalism found it neces-
sary to yelp a little in public, while in
private, some of the acts were accorded
the greatest praise. And any unbiased
mind looking over the laws-now publish.

people of our Territory, and were an
absolute necessity. As to the scene in

Ireland and Her Hopes.

Since the memorable night that Lord
Castlereagh moved the passage ofthe bill
in the Irish parliament, which surren-
dered Ireland, bound hand and foot, into
the merciless power of England's naughty
Defeating aristocracy, and extinguished
its last Pickering light as an independent
nation, the Irish people have been
made the victims of the most despotic
and tyrannical laws that have ever been
enacted for the purpose of crushing out
the last spark of manhood that might
linger in breasts of a brave, and once
independent race. The cold blooded be-
ing, destitute of patriotic sentiment,
worshipping no God but ambition, who
made the perfdious motion reaped for
brief season, the rewards of his per6dy in
the fulsome plaudits of time serving
courtiers,and the curses and excavations of
of a deceived and indignant people, then
filed suicides grave, unwept, uuhonor-
ed and unsung. Ii was thus that the in
terests of Ireland were transferred by
mockery of law to British masters; and
well have they guarded their trust. The
kind and benevolent vigilance which the
insatiate Lion bestows upon his power
less prey is, in great measure, charac-
teristic of that quality of mercy and pro
lection, extended by the purse proud,
govt afflicted, King beslobbering, law
makers of England to their unfortunate
Irish subjects. AT the same time they
were raising their hypocritical hands in
holy horror nt the enormity ofthe offence
of African slavery in America, but the
long loud wall of misery and woe wrung
from the hearts of the millions of down
trodden, starving Irish peasantry never
for q moment arrested their attention.
Frequent inffectual attempts have been
made by this brave and misgoverned peo-
pile to release themselves from the clutch
es of the British Lion, but English cru
city, English craft and English gold
have circumvented, and defeated every
effort and plan, informers were hired
ussassins employed-and the Priesthood
bribed to accomplish their purposes in
"suppressing instructions" yet the
spirit of independence, and the yearning
desire to be freemen have evidently not
been suppressed or quenched in the breasts
of the Irish people. That long hoped |
for opportunity to write the epitaph of
the chivalric and martyred Emmett is as
bright and green now, as when his young
head was laid, amid the signs and sobs
Of his heartbroken countrymen, beneath
The sod of the dearly loved land Of his
birth. That their present efforts may be
crowned with success, and their dearest
hope realized is our earnest heartfelt
prayer.

the Council, upon the message. concern
ing retrenchment, the radical, unjust, and
in many instances, false account, has
gone to the world, has had its day of in
fuence upon the public mind-spent its
force-and is now laid in the tomb Of the
Capulets to slumber in obscurity for all
time to come. The entire facts, and true
state Of the case was carefully concealed
and kept from view. The Governor had,
upon street rumor and not upon official
notification, transmitted a message in re-
gard to then pending bill. Being ill
timed and out Of place, it could only be
considered as an act Of intermeddling un-
worthy Of any man occupying the posi-
ton Of Governor. The profanity used
was not applied to the Governor, butin re-
sponse to outside parties who interrupted
the speaker. Still we do not approve the
temper of the body on that occasion. 1t
may, however, truthfully be said Of the
late Council that finer body ofmen new
er congregated III any State or Territory
of the Union. Gentemen-all ofthem-
in every sense Of the word, and well quail
ifeI for the discharge of the duties they
were called to perfOrm-men Of large ex.
perience, and possessing an intimate
knowledge Of the country and the minu-
ti@ Of legislation. OF the closing scene,
this is simply the truth; that the body
as legislature had adjourned, and those
that participated, were acting as men
merely. The various explanations here
tofore given are considered sufficient, and
will not be repeated here. After the leg
islative action of our neighboring State,
Nevada, in regard to the school appropri-
atoms the battery of abuse from that
quarter, has subsidized into inglorious 81
lence. The motive then, for the attack
against the Idaho Legislature by the
radicals, is attributable to the difference
in political complexion. How does the
matter rest now, when a Radical press
assails Radical Legislature aud that
too in language more caustic than any
which political opponents have, or can
use. It's said by the Enterprise that
the members will all be hung" 'incar.
cerated in the pcnitentiary" or compose
a chain gang" The legislature is called
a "burlesquo upon legislation"
The testimony is not fom an enemy,
but is voluntarily given by political
friend and associate, and must be receiv-
ed by Radicals everywhere. Look at
the two pictures one is Radical the 9th
er Democratic! Both are actuatcd by
certain principles peculiar to the parties
of each, Judge the tree by its fruits
and make your selection. How horribly
deformed must the thing be, when the
putrid mass nauseates its own supporters,
and finally forced by the dread Of public
to repudiate its own politi-
cal monstrosities.

pose Of the bill, shall not be forgotten
In our State and Territorial legislatures,
it is usual to expect, in which we are not
always disappointed, the discharge of du-
ties within the prescribed limits for the
exercise of their functions. We expect
it because of our firm belief that such

sponsibility devolving upon them. We

REGISTER OF THE LAND OFFIoE.-
R. II. Brown Esq, of this city, has been
officially notified that his commission as
Register Of tho Land Office for Idaho
Territory, has been issued and is ready
to be transmitted to him as soon as he
files the necessary bond.
Idaho is at last remembered. A pa-
ton of her wants have at last received
attention. 1t is better late than not at
all. We feel grateful for this manifesto
ton of regard. We feared that in the
excitement growing out of the great ma
tional questions, that engrossed the atten-
ton of Congress, the wants of this Ter
ritory would be forgotten. The selection
Of Mr.. Brown is certainly wise one.
His abilities are unquestionably of the
highest order for the position. We pre-
dict that he will render universal salts

MEUALs.-General Duvall and his
assistants. Messrs. Ewing and Hanes,
are still busily engaged in sending out
the medals furnished by the State 10
her brave boys in blue" About If
teen thousand OF the twenty.seven
thousand required TO supply them, have
been forwarded, aud have been deliv.
cred to the parties for whom they were
intended. Nearly one thousand have
been returned to the AdJutaut Generals
office, having failed to reach those enti-
tied to receive them. We learn that by
some OF the soldiers they are highly
priced, while others do not seem to at
tach any value to them. These medals
should now be- regarded as objects to
which the soldiers and their children
can point with pride, and the lapse OF
time will only serve to throw around
them a still deeper interest.

Is rowN.-Our genial friend, Captain
w. d. Terry, whom everybody in
Wheeling knows, was in the city yes
terday, looking after the interests Of
the Merchants Union Express Com
puny. The Captain is the Agent of
that Company here, and wSiearn its
business, thus far, in our city is fully
up to the anticipations of those con-
cerned. The Company he represents
is extending its operations all over the
country, and, up to the present, has
been able to resist the immense efforts
made by some OF the older express
companies to break it down Since its
organization, a very great reduction
has been made in the rates formerly
charged for carrying express matter,
and almost all kinds OF goods can now
be shipped as cheapIy by express as by
the ordinary freight trains on our rail-
rOads.

The ADVANTAGES OF BITTERs.-These
advantages consist in the medium or
pehiclc afforded for the administration
OF medicine. The stomach OF tue dYs-
peptic will reject many remedies in
their crude form, but will gladly re-
ceive them when combined with an
agreeable and refreshing beverage or
drink. Now no liquid preparation can
be moreIpalatablet than Hubbel'sGolden
Bitters; and as it contains in solution
the active principles of sassRiras bark,
gentian root, calamus and other vegela-
BILE tonics. while it is entirely destitute
Of any injurious mineral ingredients,
its success as medicine is readily nc.
counted for. In Dyspepsia, Debility,
Heart burn, Liver Complaint and
Stomach Affections, these is no remedy
so efficacious as Hubel's Golden Bit

u party charged with attempting 10
commit a rape. The arrested man
balls from New York, and was engaged
in peddIing goods, wares and merchan-
die through the country. The scene
OF his attempt to commit this most
heinous of crimes, was a farm
house on Short Creek, which he had
entered for the ostensible purpose OF
disposing of his wares.
The accused was brought before
Judge Johnston yesterday. a partial
examination OF the case was had. The
principal witness against him was not
present. and the case WAS continued to
some day in the future. In the mean
time the Irishman was sent to Jail, and
processes issued for the witnesses. If
they can De reached in time, the further
hearing of the case will probably take
