THE PROFESSIONAL ASs-The Statesman
is never in its element unless engaged in mis-
representation, falsehood and chicanery. Our
recent visit appears to have acted as night
mare to that concern; and our reference to
the Hawley case upset the equilibrium of our
bilious Contemporary. Engaged in SO much
dark lantern dirty work himself, the editor OF
the "ring organ" has grown suspicious of the
movements of every one. We can't take o
trip to Boise City on business but what our
jaundiced neighbor imagines we are up to all
kinds of mischief; and we wouldn't be sur
prised if he should charge us, after our next
trip, with being actively engaged in organizing
the Ku-Klux in his midst, Because we made
public through the WORLD fact which was
of public nororiety in Boise City, about week
previous to our publication, he thinks We are
possessed of his dirty instincts and have been
prying out grand jury secrets. What we pub
lshed in reference to the action of the grand
jury, we learned on the streets of Boise City,
from both Republicans and Democrats; and
among such Republicans were some of the
leading men in our neighbours party. There
was no secrecy, actual or pretended, about the
affair. but, on the contrary, it was matter of
public talk. As to professional courtesy,
we don't adopt the editor of the Statesman or
any of his ilk as our standard. We hope
never to descend that low in the scale of pro-
fessional honor or department. Two separate
and distinct grand juries have never decided
that we were guilty Of perjury in falsely and
maliciously charging another with a crime.
We can imagine the feelings of the editor OF
the Statesman, and his chagrin over the defeat
of his dirty schemes, and the rebuff received
by him from the grand inquest of his county.
His championship of the dignity and honor of
the legal profession is an assumption that
could be expected from no other quarter, but
like the ass in the lions skin, the device is a
failure, and the professional gown but lily con-
ceals his moral delinquencies. Admitted to
the bar through courtesy, our briefess neigh
Dor, whose practice has invariably been in the
line of swearing to affidavits instead Of draft
ing them, has not proven himself an exemplar
of those professional virtues, such as to render
him an ornament to the profession aud model
for the legal fraternity of Idaho. And yet, he
delivers homily on professional honor and
sets himself up as authority on contempts of
court Bah-the subject is too dirty for us to
dwell further on.

J.E. SrEPHENs.-This worthy who
was the Secretary of the Parish
Committee of Lafourche, has had the
effrontery to deny by insinuation, a
statement which we made with
reference to him. One or two of
our readers may have observed a let
ter over this signature in the last
issue of the official organ of the
Customhouse committee, in which
the secretary pronounces our state
ment ridiculous" His conscien-
tiousness would not permit him to
say untrue, because he knows full
well that the charge We made was
literally what he told the editor OF
this paper, on the Morgan railroad
just after he (Stephens) got in the
cars in Lafourche. We thought al
the time that he was remarkably
ridiculous" to be rendering such
yaiuable information to one that he
did not know; bat that he did, we
can appeal to a third gentleman
who was present and heard wha'
this secretary with the convenient
memory said.

sent to the Representatives OF the

back to the Customhonse we found
that the tyranny had resulted as We

HOW 1T Is.

The Picayune of yesterday wants
to know "how it is, and why it is, )"
that Senator Pinchback should have
nominated Lieutenant Governor
Dunn for President of the colored
labor Convention, which sat in the
Mechanics Institute on Friday last.
This action has given rise to the
silly rumor that it indicates COM
promise between these two prOmi-
nent gentlemen. We cannot accuse
the Picayune of making the thought
the child of the wish, because if this
and kindred papers desire anything,
they ardently long for a perpetual
"split" of oar vote.
Bnt for the information Of the in
quisitive, and to tranquihze the
perturbations of the timid, We may
tell them, that the Convention was
one of cOlored men, met in the ex-
elusive interest of colored labOrers
all over the State and Country, and
one so far removed from the arena
of general politics, that Senator
Pinchbaek and Lieutenant Governor
Dunn conld meet OF the common
level of mutual interest, and mutual
aims, and mutual objects, to the
utter exclusion of considerations Of
their differing views of the manage
ment and control of the Republican
party in the State OF Louisiana
The two gentlemen alluded to and
all of their respective friends and
adherents in the lamentable dissen'
sions now prevalent, maintain to
day, precisely the attitude they die
before the assembling of the colored
labor Convention.

possess great concern in the mat

CONDENSATION.


The voice of Remuneration has al
ready been loudly uttered by many
prominent Northern papers against
the use of Z. s. soldiers for the pur-
pose Of intimidating quiet and or
derly assenblage' Of Republicans,
who had been regularly called to-
gether to consider matters of in
terest to their party.
The necessity for explanation has
been forced on the perpetrators Of
this outrage. and the shallow pre-
tence is given out. that the troops
were there to protect United States
property.
We would like to be informed on
what basis of calculation the con-
clusion was arrived at that the
building was in any danger from
the sitting in it, of even a divided
and dissenting body OF politicians.
But suppose it was in danger
who are the parties on whose
shoulders must rest the responsible.
ity of jeopardizing the property
If the danger was known in time to
enable Messrs. Packard 4 Co. to oh
tain U. S. soldiers, it was known il
timeto have obviated the whole diff
fculty by holding the Convention
elsewhere. But this is not so. Thu
