weeks before the holidays, that mythical and
mysterious. but Jolly old gentleman has de-

dispensed his fayurs. Let the "bairns," then,

NoGGLE. LEWIS AND HUSTON.

Va obserye that notice has been given y
the Council, OF Memorial praying for the re
moyal of Judges Noggle and Lewis. and OF =
s. Attorney Huston. It should be adopted
without dissenting voice. If the member
desire, by their action. to reflect the wishes 0
their constituents. they will adept such Me
mortal at once aud order certified copies 10 OF
forwarded to the proper authorities at WASH
ington City.
1t is unnecessary to reiterate the charges
against Noggle. as it is admitted, even oy Tue
Republicans, that he is wholly unit to occup!
position on the Bench.
The course pursued of late by Judge Lewis
has also developed his true character ana sat-
is6ed Attorneys of his unitness tor the posi-
ton which he occupies. He appears bent on
the reconstruction of this Territory, and talks
very flippantly about "breaking up this corrupt
Democratieparty in Idaho" Radicals oil more
brains than Lewis have been trying that for SIX
or seven years past. and have given 1t up as
hopeless task. This new Richmond IN the
Geld y has made one raid. in the shape OF his
decision on the District Attorneyship aud his
neremptory order on the Owyhee treasury In
favor of Huston. What his next move viii be
is rather hard TO determine, but it Is safe Ia
assume that he will never let an opportunity
slip wherein to carry out his threat of burst
ing up the Democratic party" The memorial

from the members of the Bar, woad be apt to

FRANKLIN's RELIGIOUS VIEws.-The fol.
lowing recently published letter, written by
Benjamin franklin to Miss E. Hubbard, is in
teresting as a statement of his views on life
and immortality:
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. u, 1856.
Dear Chttd: l condoe with YOU. I'VE have
Iost most dear and valuable relation. bnt il
is the will of God and nature that these NOR
tai bodies be laid aside when the soul is IN
enter into real life. Existing here on earth
is scarcely to be called lite. 'Tis rather an
embryo state-a preparation to Iiviug-and
man is not completely born until he is dead.
Why, then, should we grieve that new
child is born among the immortals-a new,
member added to their society? We are spi.
rits. That bodies should be lent to us while
they can afford us pleasure, assist us in ac
quiring knowledge, or in doing good to our
fellow creatures, Is kind and benevolent act
OF God. When they become unfit for their
purposes, and afford us pain as well as pleas
ure, instead OF an al become an incum-
brance, and answer none of the intentions
for which they were given, it is equally kind
and benevolent that way is provided by
which We may get rid OF them. That way IS
death. We ourselves prudently, in some
cases, choose a partial death. A man2led,
painful limb, which canrot be restored, we
willingly cut of. He that plucks out tooth
parts with it freely, since the pain goes with
it; and lie that quits the whole body parts
with all pains and possibility OF pains and
diseases it was liable to or capable making

commonl was first ready, and he has gone
before us. We could not conveniently all
start together, and why should you and be
grieved at this, since we are soon to follow,
and we know where to find him?
Adieu, my dear, good child, and believe
that shall be, in every state, your Affection
