attending the death OF the ''Wesh fasting girl"
has brought every detail OF that pltiable farce
again before the English public in long reports OF
dreary evidence from doctors and nurses and
clergymen. The investigation goes to show that
the poor hysterical girl was actually starved TO
death, not sin the intercs. Of science" but In Tie
interest Of the deception sustained by herself and
her parents The case OF this girl who had eS'
isted for some eighteen months avowcd!y without
food or drink. was considered sufficiently impor-
tant to warrant 4 test, in which leaulns physi-
clans nom all parts Of Wales participated. Ii
they really believed that the girl lived aud grew
pump and rosy without sustenance, one can
only pity their lack OF knowledge; but IT.,
rs was more reasonable, they thought her prac.
tising deception, it was next to crime to
subject her 10 test OF such cruel nature, in
stead Of to medical treatment for the cure ol her
nervous aud mental malady. The girl was
watched closely until nature succumocd ana shs
died. SARAH likes it, her mother said; 'it IS
her only enjoyment The father urged that the
time of watching should be, prolonged. When
the poer girl was sinking under starvation, both
parents united in the assertion that she had often
been so before, and that it was only passing
weakness. When 1t was suggested that food should
be offered her. the father objected. and the rules
OF the test were strictly enforced up to death.
The result of the investigation is to reveal still
more clearly the obstinacy OF the parents, the
unfortunate malady OF the girl and the stupidity
of the physicians.

must look to themselves for relief. They
sought their natural allies, and find them in
the colored people whose whole future, for
good or for evil, is linked with that OF the
white American. And the ally is greeted,
not as serf but as q political equal. for
such in fact he is. No test is applied to one
class that is not applied to the other. Merit
and citizenship are the only qualifications,
and the laborers and mechanics are assured
that q movement for new government
means better protection and higher wages
for labor, and more rapid development OF the
hidden wealth of the State. AT the same time
the illiterate must be made to know that ono
of the first aims of the new government will
be to carry out vigorously thorough scheme
of free education All classes and all con-
ditions are invited to band together for the
general benefit; for on the success OF the
CITIZENS PARTY depends, for many years to
come, the peace and welfare OF the State.
With the fall elections we'll over, and an hon.
est and impartial State Government, South
Carolina would stride forward and all her
people taste of the riches of her Joy. But
two years more OF eXtravagance and mis-
rule would crush all our budding hopes, and
drive capital, intelligence and worth far from
our shores.

Gre eley on the South and her Carpet
BnSScrs.

The New York Tribune says: '1f the
'south can simply SO on as she is going, for
"ten years longer, she will be richer and
"more prosperous than she ever yet has
'.been." 1t speaks OF "the Ku-Klux as one
"of her scourges," and Of the "carpet-bag-
sssers" as another. 1t defines the latter
precisely as we do. They are not the hon
est Northern settlers who come among US to
make their homes and follow their legitimate
business-but, in the language OF the 1,7-
bune, the carpet-baggers are "those who
"went South in quest of office, or power or
splunder of some kind, and who have let
"nothing stand in the way OF their greed or
'tambition."

IDAHO CITY, THURSDAY, JANUARY 81, 1870.
MASSACHUSETTS ON HoAR's REJECTION

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican is terri
bly, incensed at the unexpected action Of the
Senate in tabling the nomination of Hoar as
one of the Justices of the Supreme Court
The idea that any man from Massachusetts
should ever be SO treated by the Senate seems
to astonish the Radicals of that State and calls
forth yell of indignation from the disciples Of
Sumner in the Goldfish Province. The Repub-
licam of the 9th instant, in referring to the
matter, says:
The oficejobbing and carpet-bag Senator's at Wash
ington really fecitate themselves that they have dis
posed OF Judge Hoar-kept him off the Supreme
Bench, and driven him out of the Cabinet-but they
little know the temper of the man they have to deal
WITH the strength Of the on which the latter
rest their case.
Carpet-baggers seem to be getting in bad
odor everywhere, and it rather strikes us as
ludicrous for Massachusetts, Radical paper to
decry carpet-baggers, when several of the Sen.
ators from the so-called reconstructed States
are carpet-baggers from Massachusetts,, and
nearly all of them from the New England
States, and of the same political creed as the
Republican. Virginia has been called the Moth
er of Presidents and Massachusetts may as
aptly be termed the Mother of Carpetbaggers,
and for member of that happy family" to
speak of his brethren by calling them Office
jobbing and carpet-bag Senators. is not display
ing that brotherly affection which should exist
between pups of the same litter.
The publication of such an article in Dem
ocratic paper, calling Radical Senators Office
jobbers and carpet-baggers, would be consid-
cred Copperhead abuse of the loyal brethren,
and the Radical press would Immediately rally
to the defence of their prosecuted friends
Massachusetts, submits with bad grace to the
shelving of Hoar. Not content with filling
about one-half if not two-thirds, of the most
important Federal positions, including two
members of the Cabinet and the lions share of
foreign diplomatic appointments, it is consid-
cred terribly unjust that Massachusetts, men
should not be allowed to fill every vacancy oc-
curing in important Offices. If Hoar was de-
feated through the influence of carpet-bag SEN
ators they are certainly entitled to some credit,
as it is the only good thing we have ever heard
of their doing.

AN EXECUTION BY HARA-KIRI.

This ceremony is practiced in japan as an
honorable expiation Of crime, by which all dis
grace is blotted out. It is of a strictly, judi
cial character and recognized as such; and the
executiOner who deals the final blow is select
ed from the friends of the victim
Lately an official was condemned to perform
the Hara-Kiri for firing on foreign settle
ment. A secretary of the British Legation to
Japan was sent officially to witness the execu-
ti0n, and has furnished an account to Lon
don magazine The word Hara-Kiri, it may
be observed, means "belly cutting" or selfim-
notation by disembowelling.
The witnesses, representatives of the author
tiles, of the victims family, and of the foreign
ers, were led to the main hall of large tenn
pie. The condemned man, accompanied by
the executioner, one of his pupils. who had
been selected on account of his skill in swords
manship, soon entered, saluted those present
with great Difference; then mounted on rails
ed platform before the altar, prostrated him.
self on the carpet with his back to the altar.
An official presented him with q dirk, nine iEch-
es long and as sharp as razor, with which the
act is to be performed.
After confession of his guilt, and asking
those present to honor him by witnessing his
immolation, the man slipped his garments down
to his waist, tucking his sleeves under his knees
that he might fall forward in death, as becomes
a noble japanese. Then with deliberation and
coolness, he stabbed himself deeply below the
waist on the left hand side, drawing the dirk
slowly across to the right side and turning it
in the wound to give slight cut upwards.
When he drew the dirk out he leaned forward
and stretched out his neck; an expression of
pain fitted across his face for the first time,
but he uttered no sound. At this moment his
pupil, who. crouched by his side, had keenly
watched every movement, sprang to his feet,
poised his sword second in the air; there
was fash, dull, ugly Mud, crashing fall;
with one blow the head had been severed from
the body.
A dead silence followed, broken only by the
noise of the blood gushing out on the floor.
Then the executioner bowed low, wiped his
sword and retired. With extreme dignity and
solemnity, the government representative rose,
crossed over to the foreign witnesses, called
them to witness that the sentence of death had
been faithfully carried out, and left the hail.
Slowly and solemnly the others followed, leav-
ing the still warm body alone in the place
where it had fallen.

MARK TWAIN IN PHILADELPHIA.-Mark
Twain, the well known humorist, will lecture
tomorrow night at the Academy of Music,
upon the Sandwich Islands. Mr.. TWain's rep
utatiOn is so great that he does not need any
special recommendation from us. He knows
all about the Sandwich Islands, for he was
born there. His ancestors were at one time
kings of those islands, and for many years they
gamboled upon the sunny savannahs of their
dOminions attired in banana leaves aud satiated
upon diet of their poor relations. Love of
their fellow men has always been q trait of the
Twain family, and they never cared what their
personal peculiarities were, so that they were
cooked with a crust on and were served up
with gravy. When Mr.. Twain came away, the
