Old Howlett's report to Secretary Seward
has at length been fled, together with lot of
afidavits from Radicals in Boise City, lnclud-
ing Reynolds of the Statesman. Holbrook and
Street have been long watching for this report.
In it, / observe that Young, the Clerk OF the
Supreme Court of Idaho, has made an at1da-
Wit which reflects very heavily on George Aims
lie, Esq. of your city. Young sWears that he
heard Ainslie declare, the town Boise City
would have to be burned, and, by God, am
| lust the man who would set it on fire" Right
here we will say that we have read this portion
of the letter to Mr. Ainslie, aud he authorizes
us to state that there is not one word or gllm-
mer of truth In YOung's sworn declaration, as

referred to the Attorney General, who passed
them to his Assistant, Ashton, Radical, and
friendly to Kelly. Ashton had them in his

sentative, will assume the duties of the Office
next week, and decision in Kellys case will
then perhaps be made. Stansbury is so busy
with Reconstruction cases that he has no time

the Territories, as the condition of affairs in
the South monopolizes nearly all the time of
the Departments and Cabinet. Theo. Burmes-

Chief Justice Chase as Register in Bankrupt
cy for Idaho Kelly wanted John C. Henley,
Esq, or Prickett appointed, but HOlbrOok and
Street succeeded in getting it for Burmester.
Judge Cummins' case will be attended to when
Congress meets, but it is uncertain when that
will be-not in July, am quite sure.
Secretary M'Culoch has finally agreed to
allow the appropriation of $4,000, for Legis-
lative expenses of 1867-'68 to be applied in
payment of old vouchers of previous sessions

hard to get disappointment of Register for the
Lewiston Land Office, but Fenn's friends were

now watching for the next sopto be thrown.
Holbrook is soon going to make visit to
Ohio, and Street thinks of starting back for
Idaho, liz the Fall VIM. J. Terry is here, and
has obtained patent for something out of
which he is likely to make fortune. VIM.

other property, which last membranes"
