BOISE CRY, December 6, Ii


on the stage, in order to put in an appearance
on Monday morning when the two Houses Of
the Legislature convened. The weather was
cold and disagreeable, rendering the trip any
thing but a pleasant one, and nothing but
stern necessity could induce us to undertake
the same journey again at this season OF the
year. c.a
Upon our arrival at the Capital we found
the streets, hotels and bar-rooms thronged
with members of the Upper, Lower and Third
Houses. Button-holing was the order OF the
day, and the selfsacrifcing gentlemen who had
inundated themselves upon the altar OF their
party, and consented to serve their conhdlng
constituents at the rate of s4 per day in green
backs. vulgarly called Lincoln skins" wore
wearied look, and their elongated facial aspect
was sufficient to cause panic among BARRIERS
and raise the price of shaving to six bits
ascrape." Candidates for the minor offices
were
"Thick as autumnalleaves that strew the brooks
In vallombrosa."
The annulling of the extra compensation ACT
did not appear to dampeD, in the least their
ardor for official position, and we mustacknowl-
edge that we were agreeably surprised to find
that there were not SO many offices but that
men could be found to I'LL them.
Every county is represented in both Houses,
except Nez Perez, which elected full delega-
ton of Republicans, none of whom, as yet, have
put in an appearance, while the Democratic
members from Shoshone, the most distant Sec
ton of the Territory, are promptly on hand
Judge B. F. Yantis, in the Council, and Hon.
w. B. Yantis, in the House. Idaho county,
also, ii anything more inaccessible than Nez
Perez, has full delegation of Democrats pres
ant, in the persons of Hon. S. P. c. Howard,
in the Council, and Hons. Perry Clark and P.
Celery, in the Assembly. Oneida county, the
reservation" to the contrary notwithstand-
ing, is also ably represented 10 the persons of
Hon. j. Fl. Stump. in the Council, and DR.. j.
w. Morgan, in the House; gentlemen whose
Democracy cannot be doubted BY our sanguine
contemporary OF the Statesman.
The Republican delegation to the Legisla
ture, though limited in point of numbers give
evidence of the care shown by their party in
the selection of their candidates. They are
gentlemen well qualified for the positions to
which they have been chosen, and their course.
during the present session, will. We confidently
believe, be such as to reflect credit upon the
oxz,h. her nhn D.
resent. Hon. Gilmore Hays, Of Owyhee, and
Hon. Fl. A. MattOx, of Boise, are the venera-
bic and veteran representatives of the Repub-
lican party in the Council while Hons E. B.
Hall. of Aturas, j. G. Hughes, of Boise, and
w. II. Van Slyke, Of Owyhee, somewhat less
venerable in their personal appearance, cdnsti
tute the Republican battalion in the House.
Promptly at II o'clock, NJ, on last Monday,

respective halls and were called to order BY
