action that lay between them, ana when was 1s
entered into last fall concerning the rental OF
an arastra. situated Just below town. The
difference that existed between them was the
fruitful theme for many harsh words emanat-
inc from Zerrenner, and directed at Falrheld:
II was proven in court that Zerrenner mad
gone 80 far as to openly threaten Fairfield, but
matters did not eliminate in difficulty until
the above mentioned date, when Fairfield gave
notice through the proper officers that ne was
about TO sue Zerrenner for the rent OF the

IDAHO AFFAIRS IN WASHINGTON.

a private letter from friend IN "ashlns-
ton. dated March 23d, says:
Yesterday Judge Shafer introduced Dill IN
Congress to extend the civil jurisdiction OF the
Probate Courts of Idaho Territory to cases
involving the sum of $50O-exclusive OF inter
est. He also introduced a joint resolution to
give the extra pay of $1,000 each to the Ter
ritorial Judges The appropriation bill SIM
DIV allows them the salary of $4,000 per an
mum, and, if passed, Judge Skaters resolution
will give them 81 900 per annum additional
The Judge intends to return to Idaho IN
May, but says he will remain here until he can
see about the building OF the Assay Office and
Penltentiary at Boise City, and other matters
pertaining to the Territory.
Judge Mcbride, Judge Cummins, Judge
Houuh Cen. Cartee, and E d. HOlbrook are
here. Mcbride wants to be Superintendent OF
Indian Affairs of Idaho, or of Idaho and Mon
tana, if the Superintendency be not divided,
Hough wants the same place, but reckon he
stands prepared to compromise ON almost any
other position. Cummins says he wants to ro-
tate Judge Kelly out of his Judgeship and get
it for himself If Cartee is after anything
more than he already holds, don't know of it.
Huggan of Owyhee is here on his way from
England, and says he will start back i'll few
days.
The way things are working here only Sena-
tors have any say in making appointments. A
member of the House has no more show than
n Chinaman. saw this in some Ohio, New
York, and Missouri eases
Judge Shafer is making good reputation
here for the short time he has been i'll Office
and will make a tirstrate working Delegate for
the Territory, but my candid belief is that IN
the way of official patronage he can have no
influence No one can except the Senators,
and SO far rs Idaho goes, the Oregon Senators
seem to have most TO say. The Radical chiefs
say that not Democrat shall be LETT in Office
nor appointed to office, and it looks as though
that is to be the result of Grants "conserva-
tive" policy.
