THEGoLD DUST QUESTION.

AS our columns are always open to COM
munications upon all questions pertaining to
our City or County matters, we give place to
the following, sent to US for publication
CENTERvILLE, January II, 1867
EDITOR IDAHO WoRLD:-Allow me small space
in your paper to reply to the charge made against
the traders of this place by the Times of last week.
that we are "thick headed" We admit that we
are little bewildered in regard to the action of
the merchants of Idaho City.
To give you an instance This very day one of
our citizens got certain article in Idaho City for
which he was told he could either pay SIG in dust
at SIG per ounce, or $l4 in dust at $l4 per ounce
AS he had to give his ounce of dust in either case,
he could not see the production in prices" nor
can we. If Idaho City merchants come up here
and buy sand from hummer Hill at 81 per ounce.
or get Owyhee battery dust to mix with their good
dust, and pay 1T off to their packers at $l4 per
ounce, we see no good reason why good Center
vile dust, actually worth SIC per ounce, should be
reduced to their reduced standard. know of
transaction between two merchants of Idaho City
which proves that among themselves, in dust OPP
erations, there has not been that high integrity
which ought to be the rule with ALL and it is be-
cause such things happen we view with suspicion
the late gold dust arrangement.
Our traders are willing to pay SIS per ounce for
dust from any camp in the Basin except Idaho CITY,
and they except that because it is not only some
times mixed with sand and battery DUST but it is
also creased SO that the base stuff cannotbe blown
from the pure We think there never would have
been any occasion for reducing the price of dust
if the practice of mixing with it hummer Hill
sand, Owyhee battery and Murphys dust had not
been followed. But as things are, we don't mean
to be SO 'sthick headed to take the Idaho City
mixed dust at even $l4 per ounce. We will paw
all the time SIG for good, clean, genuine dust

REcT.-some days since We questioned the cor

stamp duties we're now required on writs. Since
then We learn that the section of the internal
Revenue Act requiring stamps on all legal doc
uments, has been repealed by act of Congress
of March I'd, 1867. Neither are stamps now
required on letters of administration or letters
testamentary, or on the bonds of executors, ad-
ministrators, or guardians where the real aud

thousand dollars. This may be regarded as re.
liable, as the information was furnished us by

EFFORTS TO PROCURE THE PAR
DON OF JEFF. DAVIS

Paul Bagley, formerly missionary to India
and japan, went to Fortress Monroe on the 10Th
inst, and spent Saturday and Sunday in con-
versation with Jefferson Davis The object of
his visit was to induce Mr. Davis to apply to
the President for pardon, in the obtaining of
which he offered Mr. Davis his services Mr.
,Bagley believed that ifa regular application
should be made by Mr Davis, he could support
1t with petition presenting such an array Of
influential names, a large proportion of them
from the radical republican party, that the move
.ment would be as successful as that made by
him in the case of Gov Vance, of North Caro-.
lima. Mr. Davis, however, declined accepting
the proposition. He said to ask for pardon was
a confession of guilt, and that such an applica.
ton would prejudice his case at the trial. which
he was given to understand was close at hand

The RIGHT SPIRIr.-Confdence and good will
between our white employers and our black en-
ployees is the basis Of all success in our apri.u.
ture, where black labor is employed. Let this be
remembered by the whites aud taught to the
blacks The welfare Of both requires it. The
failure to cultivate and secure this confidence has
been one of the greatest causes Of the failure of
agriculture with freed labor in the Vest Indies
This is the opinion published recently by Mr. w.
g. Seward, an English writer, who has visited
the islands Let US profit by such mistakes.
