Petitions were also offer. ed signed by the inhabitants of those owns. On the other hand remonstrances have been sent in from every town it has been proposed to cut off from Litchfield county. In fact the remonstrants from Bethlehem and Watertown greatly out ,umber those shown by petition or vote in own meeting to favor division. An anus. ng proof that confidence is not always a virtue. occurred in the testimony of MT. Henry Merriman of Watertown.

THE COUNTY BOUNDARY DISPUTE
The White Pine News replies TO the
Flko Independents claim to n pOr-
ton of the Schell Creek mines by the
statement that in the survey of the
boundary the line was run through
the most northerly part of the Indian
reservation including Camp Ruby, in
accordance with the statute, and that
sit was not likely that the Legislature
intended to cut up a Government res
eryatiOn. throwing portions in two
counties" We coincide with the News
as To the location of most of the Schell
Creek district in White Pine county,
but what authority has the News for
the assumption that there w was
any Government reservation at that
point? We are informed that the
Government officials at Washington
never recognized the action of Col.
Moore in claiming certain lands for a
reservation. If there never was actu-
aliv a "GOvernment reservation"
there. why should a boundary line be
run from the extreme northern limit,
instead of the southern extremity, or
the center? That, as we understand it.
is the real and only question involved
in the dispute over the district re-
ferred to.

The ElkO Independent, under the
able management of George q. Berry.
candidate for Judge of the supreme
Court, seems to be run now chiefly for
the purpose of putting Nose Haynes.

of securing his political influence for
the great Berry.-tEnterprise.
The Enterprise is remarkably cor
rect and conscientious in its state
ments, considering that Judge Berry
is in the State of Illinois.

THE ALDINE.-The prospectus for
the Aldine for 1872 has been received,
and if we had the space to spare we
should like much to publish it in full,
for the Aldine is really what it claims
to be, the hsndsomest monthly journal
IN America. 1t is an elegant miscel-
lany of pure, light, and graceful liter
allure and a collection of pictures, the
rarest specimens of artistic skill. The
art department is illustrated by speci-
mems from a long list of eminent
American artists, whose pictures are
reproduced without regard TO expense
by the best engravers in the country.
The literary department is under the
charge of Richard Henry Stoddard.
The volume for 1872 will contain near
ly 300 pages, and about 80 fine en-
cravings. The Christmas number will
be a splendid volume ofitself, contain
ing 80 engravings, four in tint. \

A San Francisco dispatch of the 10th

says:
The aggregate loss by San Francisco
in the Chicago fire is much greater
than at first supposed. In answer to
an inquiry, the officers of the Pacific
Insurance Company saythey find that
the amount of the Chicago losses will
exceed the first estimate of 81 200, 200,
bat they are unable rs Vet to get any
thing like the exact figures. Until the
amount is a>certained and final action
taken, no new policies Will be issued
or obligations assumed. The officers
and Directors are doing everything in
their power for the protection of every
interest, and also in order to save that
institution.

THE TEXAS ELECTIoN.-The tele-
graph has been strangely silent res
pecting the Texas election which
closed on the 5th. 1t was fast with the
Radical returns from Ohio and Penn

the largest State i'll the Union. y dis
patch from Washington 10 the Mis-
souri, Republican dated the 9th, says
all fGur of the Democratic candidates
for Congress have been elected. We
regard this as a M only, but it
probably f~oreshadows the fact.

POLITICAL CONTRASTS.

liz CO IL
was popularity considered the syn
onyme of the highest-toned respect
ability, and propriety of conduct
and manners, but for some reason
1.-THE party of great moral ideas $"
has strangely lost the odor of anc
tity and fallen into those d~isgraceful
ways in which the riotous Democ-
racy We're once supposed to satisfy
their vulgar appetites, without any
interference with their birthright
monopoly. Times, however, seem
to have changed. The last State
Conventions heldin California might
APPLY illustrate the change on this
coast, if the assertion had ever had
any foundation except in shoddy i'm
aginations, but in these days when
New York is charged with the pos
session of so much ~rascality and ruff
tianism, We prefer the authority
of the New York Herald, which
contrasts the two Conventions in
that State in the following style:
THE Rochester Convention, now in
session, presents to the country in
one respect a gratifying contrast to
the Syracuse gathering of last week.
Its proceedings thus far have been
orderly and dignifed, while those of
the Republicans were marked by
scenes of rowdyism worthy of the
palmiest days of the Empire Club or
the Mozart organization. The time
was when Democracy was supposed
to be a synonyme for ruffianism at
all public meetings; but if We are to
judge from the experience of the
present year the political parties APP
pear to have exchanged characters
tics, and the fighting. swearing, cud-
ceiling and shoulder-hitting seem to
be monopolized by the hitherto es-
pectable Republicans"
To return nearer home. observe
the difference in the manner in which
the campaign in an adjoining State
is being now conducted. In the
Democratic journals we have seen
no disrespectful allusion to Mr.. Boz
lander. while for weeks the Republi-
can papers have gone freighted to
the guards with the most venomous
assaults and falsehoods against one
known to all in the State to be a
gentleman of pure character and up
right, honorable life.
Is it a wonder that the old-time,
original Republicans are abandoning
the party since it has entered upon
its age of ruffianism and blackguard-
ism? Gov. Hawley lately delivered
a lecture in Connecticut taking for
his subject The Gentleman in Pol
itics." Even as distinguished Il
soldier and statesman as Hawley has
discovered how difficult it is for a
gentleman to maintain his standing
in the present Radical party. Of
all the living members of Lincoln's
Cabinet every one is nov outside of
the Republican ranks.
