The Idaho world. [volume] (Idaho City, Idaho Territory) 1864-1918, 1867-01-12
fraternal ejaculation was passed in favor Of

Idaho Circle.
Among other constitutions" here worthy
of especial notice is the Overland Hotel.
Most persons who remember this House IN
past days will think that it must have UNDER
gone material change in its arrangement ana
management to be worthy of praise. Well
it has undergone very marked change, and
we unhesitatingly declare that it is now
one of the best hotels we have ever fouhd
this side of San Francisco, both with regard
| to It's room Accommodations and the table
The latter is daily supplied with an album
dance and variety of fresh vegetables, meats
and excellent viands of every kind obtainable
| in market or from the farmers of the Valley,
and the house has passed through so general
an overhauling that ia place of the somewhat
comfortless rooms of last year, there are now
commodious, well-furniShed, inviting apart
ments, to win the weary traveller to fepose,
or give the occupant the comforts of home.
There is order, accommodation and cleanli-
ness in every department, and the guest or
traveller need have no fear of the Overland
Hotel as now kept by Griffin & Ellsworth.
The Legislature is rapidly di'patching busl-
ness these closing days of the session. There
is much excitement, too, because of the ire
ouent vetoes of the Governor. He has APP
piled that power with unsparing hand upon
s F. ~ +.
some important acts, and most of them thus
antagonistically treated have been passed
over his bead by the Legislature-in every
instance, we believe, against the opposition
of the Radicals in both Houses, and in some
cases. also, notwithstanding the opposition
of refractory or vinced Democratic
members. Among the bills passed over the
veto were the bill concerning County Com
missioners in Nyhee county, and the bill to
continue in Office until January, 1868, the
present officers in Ada county. The bill
which of all Others created the most excite
ment was one introduced in the Council by
Hon. II. C. Street, providing for appropriating
certain portion of Section So, OF lands
granted for endowment of superior ednca-
tional institutions by the General Govern
ment, towards the establishment of schools
and institutions of mercifal and charitable
character under the supervision OF the Cath
Ollie Sisters. The bill called out the utmost
energy and rancor of its opponents, who de-
nounced it in unmeasured terms. That the
bill was not at all sectarian in it's intention
or operation, was plainly apparent to any
clear. minded person who would take the
trouble to examine it, for the schools, al
though taught by Catholic ladies, are never
| in fact Catholic schools, or schools in which
the Catholic religion is sought to be incnl-
Gated into the minds of the pupils of Prot
estant faith-they simply teach the most ap-
proved legitimate educational branches, and
do not drag Catholicism, directly or indI-
directly, into the studies set for their scholars
Yet the opponents of the bill, to defeat it,
did not hesitate to pronounce it one calculated
to overthrow orr Common School system, to
Catholicize the whole people, and to give up
tile entire Government into the hands of the
Catholic Bishops and Priests. Some Demo-
Gratis Joined the Radical hue and cry against
the measure, and on its final passage in the
louise, Speaker Flournoy of Ada county,
and the Hons. W. W. Thayer and Taylor
of Nez Perez county, made even more
violent efforts and uttered more virulent
harangues-fo they were not arguments
against il than did DR.. McMillen, the very
Radical leader of the three Radicals III that
House. There were crowded lobby and
lthronCed floor to witness the proceedings.
Inside the Bar of the House, busily aiding
the opposition, sat the Rev. Mr.. Hamilton,
Chaplain, and the Rev. Mr.. Bishop, Private
Secretary to the Governor, with others. The
friends of the bill were also represented in
side the Bar, and the members were almost
crowded at times from their seats. The Coun-
Gil members came to watch the scene, eager
to know the final result. After long and
most vehement efforts, in the speeches OF the
opponents to the measure, the vote on final
passage was put without one word of debate
or reply by its friends, and the vote was
called as follows:
