Purchase of Russian America.

1t will be seen by the late telegraphic
dispatches, that the government of the
United States has purchased the posses
sions of the Car of Russia at the North
East ofthis continent; that the purchase
has been confirmed BY the Senate and
now awaits the action of the House oil
Representatives. The purchase price is
said to have been settled at seven million
two hundred thousand dollars. The
diplomatic correspondence and the treaty
growing out of the same, between the
two governments upon the subject for
some prudential reasons have not yet
been published to the world. The strong
presumption is that some matters of vi
tai Importance to US as nation entered
into and constituted the ruling motives
for ouraction. What those matters
were, or the motives which actuated our
authorities in regard to the purchase,
we are, with the information in our DOS
session, or at our command, unable to
determine. We can safely predict tax
ing the action of the government since
its formation upon the policy of increase
of Territory, that some important object
was TO be attained, some great state me-
cessity. In the purchase of Louisiana
the object was apparent at glance. The
father of waters, the great Mississippi
from its source together with its many
tributaries-the Ohio and the Missouri
among the number-traverse the great
'expanse of our Territory; but owing to
the fact that no outlet to the Southern
waters could be obtained for our com.
merce except at the sufferance of for
eign power, the necessity for the pur-
chase became apparent to the most care
less student Of national affairs. By its
purchase, We became master of the va.
rious channels of transportation for that
commerce which in every age of the
world has proved so conducive to nation
81 prosperity. The wisdom of this pur-
chase has been signally confirmed 10 the
years that have succeeded. In the pur.
chase Of California from Mexico at the,
then supposed enormous price of twenty
millions of dollars-many shook their
heads in doubt and uncertainty. But
subsequent Developments have demon
strsted the wisdom of the action of our
government. From the shores of the
Atlantic to the stormed tossed Pacific,
bur right as a nation is unqu estioned.-
Throughout that great expanse of Terri.
iory the American citizen can roam with
nations protection and everywhere
make his own selection for the employ
ment of his genius or his business cspac.
ties for his own pecuniary advancement

Street Abuse.

By accident we learn that we were the OBJ
jects of wordy and senseless attack by GER
tain parties of this city, upon the appearance
OF our last issue. The article which caused
so much dissatisfaction was entitled "Toady-
ism in America" We had thought that the
time for threatening with "a short shrift and
sure cord" had passed with the infamy of
other conduct into a grave of detestation
and ignominy, and the free exercise of speech
and criticism upon the conduct of men in
high places was cheerfully awarded. We
claim no more than we accord to our Radical
opponents, or rather we will, and let il be
understood, we intend to exercise the same
right they do in this particular. Let such
as feel honestly aggrieved at our criticism
read the action of certain Radicals in the
Senate of the United States, given on our
first page. Let them view the conduct of
their party toward President they elected
Let them remember with what vehemence
and bitterness they attack Democrats, who
sincerely believed their policy would alone
save Republicanism, on the stump, in the
pulpit, and through the press. To that class
who are governed by hate, and not by reason,
all we have to say is, howl on. Such are
disgusting to their own kind. The below
ing-low flung crackbrained scavengers,
who feed upon lies as a pig feeds upon swlll,
will but little disturb the serenity Of our
repose. Such Pharisaical, hypocritical
"holier than thou" back-biting imbecies base
their hatred ofeverything emanating from an
independent paper or a Democratic sheet
upon an instructive aversion to honesty. Such |
hate the ruth,because oftheir ignorance of its
hate decency because they are the
spawn of filth, and naturally prefer the slime
and dirt that surround their own worthless
carcasses, in which they delight to wallow.
They never think that thought that ema-
mates from any other source is entitled to con-
'ideration, until its error is honestly shown,
md then, and not till then, should it be re-
undated. They have not the ability to
meet proposition in manly augmentation,
md consequently must descend into the
'lackguards arena of utilization and
Ibuse, forgetting that this system Of attack
ecoils upon their own head, convinces no
'ody of sense, and is scofed at by every
nan of ordinary intelligence. We like to

Unexampled Liberality.

In recent issue OF the Idaho Statesman,
appears an article referring TO the appropria-
ton by Congress to the Southern Relief Fund
in which the Ethiopian who conducts that
sheet, doubtless imagines he has made de-
cided hit. One would infer from the manner
in which he extols the action, that such mu-
nifcent liberality is without a precedent in
the history Of the world. 1t is not the men
who braved the storm of federal bullets, and
whose generous hospitality is proverbial in
every country of the civilized globe, that we
are called upon by every principle of human
ity to relieve, but helpless women and chill
dren, who are certainly not to be held re-
sponsible for the vandal acts of those who
destroyed their food and razed their dwell.
ings to the earth, 1t is sneeringly asserted
in this connection that the Southern people
mobbed Yankee schoolmasters, and in view
OF that fact this appropriation is an extraor-
binary act of charitable forgiveness. What
powerful logic Every Yankee Scholmaster
who went South and honestly pursued his
avocation, and who was not dirty aboli-
ton thief, was treated with more cordiaity
and respect than was ever accorded to him
by his own puritan brethren, but glut-footed
whelps' who went South for the purpose of
carrying out the infamous teachings of their
abolition masters, when detected, frequently
received the punishment they richly de-
served.

PERsoYAL.-Hon' r. T. Miller made his
appearance last Sunday, looking fine. He
has been at Boise City for some time past.
R. H. Brown starts for Portland, Oregon,
in few days, to make arrangements for the
establishment of the Office of Register of the
land office at Boise City.
R. Tregaskis arrived from San Francisco
on last Mondays stage, he looks little tray
el-worn, but as hale as ever.
Fl. Bloom also returned by the last stage.
He thinks that he had better remained away
from home one month longer. If you refer
to snow, Bloom, you had better remained
away until the 4th of July.
Henry Myers has just returned from San
Francisco. We can look for fine stock of
goods soon we guess.
Joseph Jones, for a long time the stage
driver between this city and Babbingtons,
left for Boise county last Tuesday. We are
sorry to loose so clever driver as Mr.. Jones.
He is a perfect gentleman, we therefore wish
him great success.
