COMING TO THEIR SENsEs.-The
election in West Virginia takes place
October 28th. A new Legislature
is to be chosen, and the chief ques>
tion at issue is the enfranchisement
of the white people of the State. The
Wheeling Intelligeucer, the most
influential radical paper in the State,
takes strong and sensible ground in
favor of abandoning the stupidly
Vicious policy which has been SO long
persisted in, and its efforts are backed
by other papers and some of the most
influential members Of the party.
They know that the appearance upon
the stage of new generation OF Vot-
ers will insure this result within q
few years at farthest, and are shrewd
enough to desire the credit of yields
ing freely what can not long be with
held. 1t is to be hoped that this
movement will be successful. At
present some twenty thousand white
citizens are excluded from participa-
tion in the Government under which
they live-a state of things wholly
at war with every principle of rspub:
lican government, and disgraceful
alike to those who instituted and
those who seek to perpetuate it.

PERILs OF CoLoRADo.-We met
in the Middle Park, last Saturday,
two men of Col. Samuel Adams
party, who attempted a voyage OF
exploration down the Blue, Grand
Colorado rivers. They we're des:i.
tule, and footing it for the settle
ments. In few moments CONVEX
sation with them we learned that
they stove one boat badly before
getting twenty miles from Breck-
enridge: Fourteen miles above the
mouth of the Blue they found a
succession of falls and rapids, in
which another boat was broken all
to pieces, losing its entire cargo.
Fortunately no lives were lost. Ad'
ans started back 10 Breckenridge
with the intention of building one
or two new boats. The party is
pretty well broken up, and several
of the members have lost all they
had. Our informant says none Of
them would go any further; that
the voyage is impossible that II
they had passed successfully the
rapid in which they fourdered, worse
ones were waiting them a few miles
below. We have from the first looked
upon the undertaking as ippractica-
bic and very daDgerous.-Ctah Pa.

A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY "A
radical cotemporary says: "The
New York democrats declare in con-
vention for the payment Of the ma
tional debt according to CONTRACT
repudiatiOn, cfcOurse." A wonder
full discovery is this. We never be-
fore heard it intimated that the pay,
ment of a debt according to con-
tract" was "repudiatiOn" of the
said debt! Until now we had sup
posed that payment according to
contract" was all that could be re-
ouired between man and man, or a
nation and its creditors.

day evening, about o'clock, the resi-.
dents on Main street, near the City HO>
tel, were startled by hearing pisIol
shots fred in rapid succession. On re.
pairing TO the City Hotel, which was the
scene of the shooting, we aseertAlneG
that man named Lynch had attempted
to murder his wife, from whom be had
been separated for several months. As
near as we eau ascertain, the parties
were married in Boise Basin, about three
years since, and continued to live to-
gether down to last spring, when, owing
to some difficulty they separated. Sub
sequeutly the wife Instituted suit for
divorce, which was to be heard at the
present term Of the District Court.
Since the separation Mrs. Lynch has
maintained herself, and for several
weeks has been employed at the City
Hotel in the capacity of chambermaid,
On Sunday afternoon, she went out a
riding with a young man, and this
seemed to greatly enrage her husband,
who declared several times that be
would kill her before night, but these
were regarded as idle threats and no at
tention was paid to them. Mrs. Lynch
had returned from her ride, and was
passing from the main ball into the din
ing room, wheP, without warning, her
husband appeared at the ball door and
commenced discharging the contents Of
q six>shooter. He fired three shots in
all, but one Of which took effect in his
wife's shoulder, inhicting a painful but
not dangerous wound. The firing was
by great recklessness, and
seemed 10 indicate that be cared not who
be killed, provided be wreaked his ven>
geance on his wife. After the firing,
Lynch proceeded TO house on the op-
posite side of the creek, where be had
been stopping, and after gathering up
his blankets and such other things as be
wanted, left town, aud has not been
heard from since. The whole affair was
over in a moment, and so paralyzed were
those who witnessed the shooting that
they were unable to mako a single effort
to arrest the would-be murderer.

TRADING WITH CHICAGO. "A
gentleman lately down from the Boise
Basin, informs us that the merchants
10 that district have bought their
fall and winter stock almost exclus,
lively at Chicago. These goods are
freighted through to Kelton by rail-
road, and thence by teams to Boise,
where they are laid down at lower
figures than the same articles are sold
in San Francisco. This being the
condition of affairs, San Francisco
may expect to lose the whole of the
interior trade, and be reduced down
to little more than a depot Of sup
plies for the settlements more immed'
lately on the coast.

COUNCIL.


A correspondents OF the Idaho
World furnishes the following:
"LOon creek is still yielding the
precious metal in large gu antilles,
Notwithstanding croakings of dronek
and idlers. l have not heard of any
very heavy strikes lately, though ev-
cry claim opened is paying well, to
my own knowledge; say from SIP
to $50 per day to the man. Our
town of Orc Grande is fast assuming
the proportions Of town indeed,
although its progress has been some,
what retarded by the late stampede
for Yellow Jacket creek" or Nate.
Smiths last excitement. Speaking
of this creek brings me to the main
cause of this letter. 1 notice by
your last issue, furnished me by
Shepherds Express, that you had
made mention of Smiths last dis.
covery, and OF this 1 wish to 'sphake.'
Yellow jacket creek has proved a
'bilk' of exceedingly pure water,
although something near three hun.
dred men have felt the insects sting.
From Mr.. A. NJ. Wentworth l have
obtained the following particulars
The stampeders left this place under
the pilotage of Uncle Nate, on Sats
urday, September 26th, and after
FIVE days trip over one of the worst
trails ever travelled, they arrived at
the ground prospected by Smith and
party, on Yellow Jacket creek. It
was soon demonstrated by the crowd,
numbering about 800, that the couu-
try had been prospected before Smith
got in there, and one man was found
who had run sluice in that vicinity
two years ago, and was only able to
make two dollars a day. On the ar
rival of the party on the creek, pros,
pecting was the order of the time,
but nothing larger than sic cents, on
the bedrock, was found up to the
morning of the 1st. The holes sunk
by Smith were thoroughly panned,
and in what was termed the hill dis
covery claim, the inclOsed prospect
was obtained-:o three pans, panned
out by VIM. Houghton and brought
10 By Mr.. Wentworth. The gold is
very pretty, but there's not enough
of it. Those who returned to-day
are Chris. Hafendorfer, Wentworth,
George Orchard, Frank Rapp and
Robert Short. They rode through
from Yellow Jacket 10 two days, and
all agree that the whole thing was q
large sized river craft, but think
Smith and his party were aboard the
boat with the rest. About one hun
dred men commenced, the morning
the gentlemen spoken Of above start
ed to return, to cut drain race to
more thoroughly prospect the creek,
and intended to open cut from bank
to bank. They SHdy strike some"
thing, but it is forlorn hope.

LEWISTON IrEMs.-A gentleman
just down from Lewiston and the
Lapwai Agency, informs US that sS.
erythiug seemed prosperous at the
Agency. Lieut.. Whave is nov, 10
charge of the Agency. The Lieu
tenant served during the war as a
private in the 2lst Illinois regiment,
the one 10 which Grant entered the
war as Colonel. Gov. Yates bad
Grant in his office, but said he was
Of no account there, and gave him
the regiment to try him in the field.
AS a general rule the soldiers done
the fighting and the officers got the
honOrs and the pay, and so it is
little refreshing to occasionally see a
private rewarded, Lieut.. Whave hav-
ing been promoted from the ranks
at the close of the war-the officers
in his company, he says, being so
accommodating as neither to die
or resign. G. N. Smith, who was
Captain of the Lieutenant's com.
p1ny, is now a clerk under him.
There is a good school at the Agen,
cy, and quite a number of Indian
children attend, and are making
some progress. Major Truax, who
will be remembered as belonging to
the Oregon Cavalry, and who was at
one time in command OF Fort Walla
Walla, is suttler at the Agency, and
is said 10 be growing rich. There is
to be a grand Council of the Nez
Perces at Lapwai, beginning on the
1lth of October, and the, Indian Su-
periItendent of Idaho will attend.
There is some dissatisfaction among
the tribes, and the Council is called
to talk over matters and see where
all stand.
Our informant states that the as.
sessment in Nez Perce county is
some $4,000, and of that amount
Judge Berry, the Sheriff, stated that
all had been collected except about
$3.50. We mention this fact as an
unusually favorable one in the col
lection of taxes, and as an example
to be followed by the officers in our
Territory.
The people of Lewiston very
much need a tri-weekly mail from
Walla Walla, and an effort is now
being made to secure it for them. A
large scope of country is supplied
with mails from Lewiston, and the
business interests of the town re-
quire a mail of;ener than once
week. The Kings carry the mail
from Walla Walla to Lewiston, and
for the five years they have had the
route they have never missed trip,
and have the good opinion and wishes
of the people all along the route
for their fidelity. They will never
blk the government or the people
on q mail contract.

MISSISSIPPI. - Letters received
from Mississippi state that the con-
servatives there have no doubt what
ever of brilliant success in Novem.
Der. The writers say that the con-
servative leaders in the State, instead
of fearing anything from the inter-
ference of Boutwell,, or any other
radical of prominence, in their cams
paign, really invite it as a stepping
stone to an increase Of figures to re-
present the conservative maj ority

IMPORTANT TO SETTLERS ON
PUBLIC LANDS.

The following letter has just been re-
ceived, and is published for the infor>
nation of settlers:
VANCOUVER, W. T., Oct. Z, 1859.
]. H. BLEwErT, Esq, Walla Walla,
W. T.-Dear Sir: shall leave here for
your city, on next Wednesday, 18th
inst, to stay from six to eight days. Ny
chief object in coming is to rectify the
homestead proofs returned for correc-
ton, but, of course, will attend to
anything that offers.
In the OLD cases it will be safest for
the parties to bring the original, or two
other witnesses before me, but If that
cannot be done, will try what effect
tie affidavit of the claimant himself will
have-I mean as to the reason for nom
attendance at this Office.
Please make my coming known, as
want to lose no time, but to work hard
while stay. Yours, truly,
JOSEPH N. FLETCHER,
Register.

MAssAoHosErrs.-Mss..ohusslts

a year ago, after a fsree struggle,
relaxed the striogency of her liquor
enactments, but last winter the pro-
hibitionists again entered the feld
and succeeded in reviviug the old
law with an army Of cOnstables to
enforce it. The consequences is, that
the commitments for drunkenness in
Boston, in. July and August, 1869,
largely outnumbered those for the
corresponding months in 1868, BY
273 in July, and 200 in August.
Gale, whiskey, brandy, gin. and oth>
er Intoxicating drinks have bad their
channels somewhat changed by the
law" says the Traveller, "but they
flow just as freely and plentifully as
when there was virtually no law.
Club rooms do not flourish as they
did prior to the election Of 1867.
There is not the need of them, for
liquor can be obtained more easily
than by the club room process. The
Wholesale liquor trade has been af'
fected little or none at all, and sales
are daily being made in all quanti-
ties, from half pint to hogshead."

The MONEY ORDER SYSTEM
We see it stated that the amount of
money sent through the mails by
postal money orders is increasing
about 100 per cent. annually. This
year the aggregate foOts up So, ,OOO,'
OO0, against SIG, 100000 last yesr,
and it ,is estimated the amount will
again double next year. The postal
money order system is becoming
every day more popular with bust
ness men. 1t is simple and cheap,
and under the present department
regulations, it is impossible for any
one to draw the money from the
office except the person named BY
the individual sending it. 1t is the
safest and cheapest mode Of remit
ting money.

BAD CALCULATIONS. - Recently
the statement was put forth at Wash
iugtOn, and printed cOnspicuously in
the New York Tribune, that /" the
expenditures of the Government for
the fiscal year we're s405,OOO,OoO
less than the year before" Upon
which the Herald says: GAS the
year before the expenditures we're
only S377,340,2S4, this amount
would be SlOS,OOO,OOO less than
nothingl RidiculOusly absurd as is
this statement, it has been copied
and indOrsed by nearly every radical
PRINT in the country, fact which
shows how ignorant the conductors
of the radical press are as to the

order of General Sherman, as Geuer-
al, couutersigned by General Sher-
man, as Secretary of War, extending
the time for holding the elections in
Texas from one day to four, is look.
ed upon here as a ready means OF
voting the negroes as often as the
radicals may require. The altera-
tion was recommended by General
Reynolds, who is known to be very
anxious to carry out General Grants
promise to General Clark, namely !:
To aid the Davis men in every way,

that General Sickles was not author

on the basis already published for

TO my obtuse mind the manner in which
the county is to get out of debt in so
short time as indicated by the County
Auditor. noticed from his report to
the grand jury, that on the first day of
May, 1869, the county owed the sum of
So, ,376.Os. On the first day of October,
