JOHNSON AND GRANT-It seems there is
so strong a personal dislike between President
johnson and Gen. Grant, which sprung from
the tergversation and doublc-deallng of the
latter in the Stanton case, that neither will
speak to the other. 1t has always been Gus
tomary for every high civil and military officer
of the Government to make a New Year call
on the President. On that day this year Gen.
Grant took care to absent himself from Wash
instOn. in order to avoid the ceremony of the
New Year call on President Johnson. And. in
consequence, the New York Commercial i'd
rertise, Stewards organ-has an article re.
lectng upon Gen. Grant for his refusal to
come to amicable personal relations with the
President.

GEN. GRANT on RAILROAD SUBSIDIES
The New York Times says that in recent con

railroad capitalist, who is President of the
Union Pacific railroad, and member Of Con
greSs, Gen. Grant expressed. in firm and de-
cided words, his hostility 10 granting any more
money subsidies to railway undertakings until
the finances of the country shall be in n much
better condition than at present. He favored
the Pacific railway now approxlmating com
pletion for the reason that he believed ii would
benefit national interests, financial as well rs
material. 4 second or competing line would
probably enhance its beneficial uses 10 the ma
ton; and for this, together with military rca-
sons, he had favored the building of the Kansas
line, already built to the Colorado boundary
But he would 90 no further He would not
give his approval to any scheme to take money
out Of the Government treasury, in the shape
OF bonds or land grants, for any more Pacific

increase the debt, and he hoped his friends

BOISE COUNTY REDEMPTION LAW.

Nv favor of Mr. Allen, one of the Council
men from this county, we have received copy
of the bill introduced by him, which passed
both Houses, has received the approval of Gov.
Ballard, and is now the law, which provides for
Redemption Fund to pay all outstanding
warrants, and also to pay current expenses OF
Boise county.
The bill authorizes the County Commission
ers to levy special tax of eighty cents on each
one hundred dollars of taxable property i'll ad-
dition to the general tax (of s. 2O) on each
one hundred dollars, and of all money collected
for taxes, ten cents is to be appropriated to
the payment of current expenses, and twenty
FIVE cents to the school fund, and the whole of
the remaining money shall be applied to the
REDEMPTION of outstanding county warrants.
Money received for licences, fines, torteltures,
tol-bridges, ferries, po-taxes, and for debt
from Ada county, is to be thrown into the Cur
rent Expense and Redemption Fund, and all
moneys remaining in the county treasury on
the first Monday in each month, after the pay
ment Of county current expenses, shall also be
applied to the Redemption Fund. Whenever
there shall be 81 900 in the fund thus set apart
for the redemption of warrants, the county
treasurer is directed to advertise that he will
offer the money, in sums of twenty five dollars
at public auction, on a given day, to be award
ed to the lowest bidder, in exchange for county
warrants The bill abolishes the Forty-fve
per cent Fund and Hospital Fund, and consti
penses and Redemption Fund, and the General
Fund as the only Funds of the county. Its
the old order of redeemng warrantS-whlch
provided for the redemption only of warrants
of lS65-6,-and opens up the opportunity OF
offers for redemption BY the holders of war
rants of each year, from the Oldest to the fresh
est issue, at public auction, TO all alike, with
out preference or precedence on account of
the date or character of The warrants.
We offer no opinion on the merits of the bill,
for we have not been able to give it sufficient
attention to justify us in so doing; but it will
soon prove itself either TO be sautary or other
wise in its operations and We hope il shall re-
suit as much to the benefit of the county, with
Justice TO every warrant holder, as its author
and supporters claim that it will.

BRANCH PACIFIC RAILROAD.

The Washington correspondent of the San
Francisco Bulletin gives the following as the
outline of the Branch Pacific Railroad prcJect
which Senator Williams of Oregon has intro
duced in Congress:
II is provided that "for the purpose OF aiding
in the construction of u railroad and telegraph
line from point on the Central racine hail'
road. ot or near the North bend of the Hum
boldt river, in the State of Nevada, TO ana
over the Cascade range of mountains IN inc
vicinity of the klamath Lakes, and hence by
the most eligible route to the navlsable waters
of the Columbia river. ut or near the Guy Oh
Portland. there shall be granted to the Oregon
Branch Pacific Railroad Company, a corpora
ton organized pursuant to the laws OF the
Ssate of Oregon, for the purpose OF construct
ing said railroad and telegraph lines, by artl-
Giles of agreement dated July ., 1865. the rlSnt
of way, etc, ten alternate sections OF pune
land per mile on each side of the road, ana al
so 7-per cent. thirty three year bonds OF the
United States to the amount OF S'}2oOO per
mile from the point of departure at the Cen
trial Pacific Railroad to the eastern base oil the
Cascade Mountains, $4,000 per mile tor one
hundred miles of the road the most mountain
Gus and difficult of construction. and SlU,OOO
per mile for the residue of the line
We should like to know by what course 1t IS
proposed to run the line of this Branch through
Idaho Although, if Gen. Grant persists in
opposing all further subsidies (of land or bonds)
to fresh railroad projects, it will be Of no avail
for any Company to press the matter.

gentleman of thirty-four years ana nearly

But the old Commodore had an ugly, earnest
