THE UNION As 1T WAS.

There is but one case on record where the
sun ever travelled backward. I, is not likely |
the circumstance will ever again occur The |
course was not set backward to perpetuate a
great wrong or TO restore barbarism that
had been swept away during violent convul- |
sions. Those who are waiting aud longiug
for the establishment of slavery in our
land. and the building up of class pre-or-
dained to rule the government, will look in
vain for the turning back of the shade upon
the dial plate.
The time has gone by when the "Union as
il was can be resestablished, or the insttu-
tons destroyed by the war will ever come TO
life agan, Slavery with its attendant evils
fell beneath the blow of freemen, and that
fall viii be final. 1t is of no avail then for
politicians South or North, to attempt to turn
back the sun S shadow to lengthen out their
day.
The wise men Of the South have proposed
to meet the emergency as men shonld, and
accept the situation. Longstreet, Hindman,
Orr, and others, who gained prominence in the
war, and the new men Of the South, are almost
all in favor of reconstruction in accordance
with Republican ideas. The dead part Of
them have mechanics. Their hopes are in
the successful establishment of free labor,
and in the realization upon Southern sosl of
the growth aud prosperity which free institu-
tons have given the North. The old poliu>
cal leaders OF that section still cling to the
recoleciions of the past, and sigh for the re-
turn of old obseleteideas and systems. These
men, ike their Democratic brethren in the
North, dislike the situation and submit sui.
,enly. because they know they cannot turn
back the course of events, or restore the old
order of things.
The Sharkeys, the Perrys and the Pollards
Of the South, with the other fossils that com.
pose the debris o. the war in that region
have, with our Northern fossils, lost theil
power. The temper of a regenerated
Southern people is not With them, aud they
are showed from the political hastings al
cumberers Of the ground, while the young anC
vigorous blood Of the land is organizing fo
regeneration. In spite Of the violence still
enimates the fossils in some localities, there
is but little doubt ola thorough regeneration
Of the South. As soon as that is done, ther,
will be no occupation left for the fossils 0
the North, who having outliyed their useful
ness, are striving to turn back the SHADOW
upon the dial in hopes that new lease o
power may be given them, and that they vii
be enabled to re instate the "Uuiou as i
was before the rebellion, saving and except
ing the Union men who fell IN the atteml
TO save the country from being destroyed b
the hands Of the rebels.

From the Boise City Statesman, May ls.l
The most shocking tragedy that it ever be-
came our duty 10 record happened in this city
last Sunday morning. Louis Rselv bar
keeper in the Central saloon, was man
about % years cf age and for two years or
so a resident of this place. For several
months past he has been in ill-healih. He
was addicted to hard drinking, and within the
last week had an attack Of deirium tremeus.
After the attack he expressed himself to soy.
eral persons as of the opinion that if he had
any more attack of the kind he should Kill
some one, and it would as likely be his near
est friend as any. This it appears. was all, ~
not enough to alarm any one or to give APP
preheDsions that be was dangerously insane.
Saturday night, between the hours OF II
and o'clock, there was party engaged in
a game of whist at the Central saloon, one OF
whom was territorial comptroller, Mr.. IL. Il.
kane. Risely was attending the bar, and was
asked by Lane to bring some drinks for the
table. Risely answered pleasantly, and
went behind the bar, as was supposed tor
that purpose. Several persons sitting by
observed nothing in his actions unusual,
or that could in the slightest de-
gree excite suspicion. But few moments
elapsed when he was seen to 60 from behind
the bar to the corner of the billiard table, and
level revolver at the persons sitting at the
cdrd tables. He fred Immediately, hitting
VI & n the back as he was rising from
the taos the room was cleared he
fred again ll- 81 cond time at Judge GILES,
pie, who was sitting near the stove. GILLESPIE
now started for the door, during which time
he saw RisleY turn the pistol toward his own
head and fire, and aferward fire at him &c
again, the ball passing through the door. AS
soon as he got out of the d oor, be found Lane
fallen near the sidewalk, having nearl,
bresthed his last. Mr.. Lane was carried iniC
the drug store of Quivey & Graham. during
which time. Risley shot at himself the seconc
time, the ball entering the forehead liz
lived about half an hour.
No cause can be assigned for this tragi,
affair but insanity. II cast terrible gloou
over the whole community, unmitigated b,
any consideration of provocation or excuse
MIR. Lane had been more than year terrific
riol comptroller, and was q young man O
more than ordinary ability and social quail
ties. He was to be married in few DAYS to
most estimable young lady of this city, who
1t is needless TO say, is heart>broken at III
terrible affection. The body was buried Of
Sunday with Masonic honors, and the funer,
was the most aumsrously attended of an
that ever took place In Boise City
