APPROPRIATIONS ny CONGRESS. have
received under the frank Of Hon. J. X. Shafcr,
the Bill reported to the House by Mr. Dawes
from the Committee on Appropriations which
provides for the civil expenses of the Gov
eminent for the year ending June 30, 1871.
The total amount appropriated by this bill Ia
sll.76S,l30. Among the appropriations we
find the following:
"For rent of Office OF Surveyor of Idaho fuel boots
stationery and other incidental expenses two thous.
aud dollars
q For surveying tho public lands In Idaho. at rates
not exceeding fifteen dollars per mile for standard
lines twelve dollars for township and ton for section

For continuing the geological survey of the Ter.

under the direction Of the Secretary OF the Interior
twenty-five thousand dollarH.'
The amount appropriated for the survey of
public lands In Idaho il the same as that for
Montana, Dakota, Washington and Utah Ter
ritories. We hope the gentleman appointed to

HON. E. D. HoLBRooK.

/ Hon. Il. ID. HolbrOok, an account Of whose
death we publish in another column, was born
in Ohio. in Lorraine county, we believe, as his
parents reside at Elyria, and after completing
his education commenced the study of the law
under his brother-in-law, Mr. johnson, q prom
inent lawyer residing near that place. In 1859
he went to California and we believe completed
his legal studies under Judge ]. Pitzer at
Weavervil;e. He subsequently. after the dis
coyery of gold in Idaho, came to the Northern
country and engaged in the practice of his pro-
fession ut Lewiston, Florence and other towns
in the northern counties. but shortly after the
discovery of Boise Basin he came to this coun-
ty, were he has resided ever since the Spring
of 1863 except when absent on business. He
took an active part in the organization OF the
Democratic party in this Territory, and in
1864 was nominated by the Democracy as their
candidate for Congress in opposition to Judge
Parks, the Republican candidate. A thorough
and exciting canvass of the Territory resulted
in Mr.. Holbrook's election by a handsome ma
jority, and after u two years term he was
again nominated and reelected by an increased
majority in 1866 over Kirkpatrick, the Radical
nominee. He served the Territory with credit
to himself and the party which elected him by
securing Land Offices and appropriations for
the survey of our public lands, and for the
erection and construction of an Assay Office
and Penitentiary. He made bitter and un-
relenting war against the Radical Federal Office
holders in the Territory and secured the re.
moval OF some of them and the appointment
OF Democrats to their positions, and while he
occupied the position of Delegate to Congress
from Idaho his untiring efforts TO secure the
removal of Radical ofiice-holders secured for
him the hatred and fear of his political oppo-
nents. who yet could not but admire his
shrewdness, his indomitabe will and untiring
energy. Successful at the Bar, as in politics,
his versatile talents and genius won for him
high position, and he leaves a large circle OF
friends TO mourn has nntimely deccase.
Mr.. Holbrook father aud mother, us also u
married sister, still reside in Ohio, and an elder
brother now resides in Boise City. A messen-
ger Was dispatched Tor him on Saturday night,
but be did not arrive in Idaho City before the
death of his brother. The unfortunate affair
which resulted so disasirously, is deeply re-
GREETED by the whole community, who sympa-
thixc and cond"le with the family of the de.
ceased iu their sad bereavement.

NEW YORK.
Cuba Cholera Cool Weather---Ths War
---WigfaII---The Niger Again.

NEW YORK, August ia Savan-
nah correspondent writes that a rp-
NOR was in circulation there last
week that an expedition from the
United States, commanded by a Vene-
zuelan named Orizemendi and Fran
cisco Diez, formerly a broker of Ha-
vana, had landed west of Neuvitas.
The Cholera which has been de-
vastating the Spanish ranks has
passed over into the insurgelt camp.
Among the recent victims was Don
Metriano Jiminez, Lieutenant Gov
ernor of the Trinidad district.
At last, the mercury in this city has
fallen below the eighties. The rains
of the past two days ushered in with
yesterday, a spell of cooler weather,
and early in the morning the ther-
mometer fell as low as 680. The high
est point touched during the day was
75o. The weather this morning was
cool and pleasant.
No later advices from the seat of
war than already reported. The strict
surveillance of the Government over
the telegraph wires undoubtedly pre-
vents the transmission of war news.

of their agent, on Wall street, who
succeeded in having them cared for at

worth of silver bars went eastward
to-day from California. The new sill
yer mines near Salt City are attract
ing great deal of attention. They

to California for reduction at present,
but works are being built near Salt
Lake.
DR.. j. B. Merple, who few days
since was reported killed near Battle

attacked by Indians, has arrived at
Virginia City, Montana. G. Paucias,
of Jefferson. City, No., was killed in
the fight, but the Doctor was thrown
from his horse and captured.
The Indians took him across the
Sweet Water toward Big Horn
mountains, and in August 1st they en-
camped on thehorth side af Bad Wa
ter creek, ten miles from Wind river.
During the night, by the aid of a
young squaw, he escaped through the

mountains, north of Fremont peak
and on the 5th fell in with a party
of miners with whom he came to
