ADA CoUSTY.-We take the following items
from the Boise Statesman and Herald:
Hon. f. G. Sterling, Clerk of the Supreme
Court, has moved his office into the District
Court room, thereby saving the Territory $50
per month.
Judge Whitson and family arrived from
Umatilla last Sunday evening
Mrs Judge 10 Miller and children passed
through Boise City a few evenings ago, on their
way to Oregon.
Mr.. G. Harold found the body of man
named Joseph Hutchings in Slater's creek, a
tributary OF Indian creek, March 2lst. An
inquest was held on the remains, and the jury
found that he came to his death by rolling
down a steep hill into the creek, in fit of de-
lirium, and was drowned.
The Senate has confirmed the nomination Of
Jas. s. Reynolds, late editor and proprietor of
the Statesman as Clerk of the IT, S. Assay OF.

ANYTHING But ENCoCRAGING.-TheS States
man AYERS that the masses of the people are
almost unit for the reelection of General
Grant. We presume that instead Of the mas
ses Of the people our neighbor means the mas
ses of the Radical party. As an instance of
the unanimity of Radicals on that head, our CO.
TEN refers to recent primary election, in
Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, for Radical
delegates to State convention, at which the
voters expressed their preference as to who
should be the nominee of their party for Pres
ident. Grant received 4,695 votes in that
county at the primary referred to, and Greeley
received 315 votes. What became of the 9th
err ten thousand and odd Republican votes of
that county2 In 1868 Grant received 1892
votes for President. in Lancaster county, to
S,513 for Seymour. General APATHY" must
have demoralized the Radicals of that county,
when only about one -fourth OF them attend the
primaries and vote for Grant delegates The
other three-fourths are probably disaffected
like Sumner, Trumbull and Schurz and doubt
less prefer supporting Liberal Republican for
the Presidency.

A MIsTAKE.-Some fellow, named Neon
nell, has been reporting in Chicago that John
McDevitt, the celebrated billiard player, who
it is believed lost his life in the great FIRE at
Chicago, is alive and well, and that he, Nc.
Council, saw MeDevitt in Boise City, Idaho,
and that the latter is keeping billiard saloon
at that place. Mcconnell is mistaken. He
may have seen James McDevitt, who is inter-
ested with Mr.. VIM. H. Tincher in billiard
saloon at Centeryille in this county, but no
such man as John McDevitt, to our knowledge,
lives in this section of the country James
Mcpeyjtt has resided in this section for eight
or nine years past. owns an interest in sa-
loon, and is also engaged in the cattle business
m Iemhi county: but he is not billiard cham
MON. nor is be from Chicago. The similarity
.,f names probably led Mcconnell into error

A VACANCY-Hon. VIM. Lynch, a member
of the Territorial Council from Boise county,
having resigned his position, it viii be neces-
sary that the Governor issue his writ of cleo
ton directed to the Sheriff of this county re-.
quiring him to notify the several Judges of
election in Boise county to hold special
election to fill the vacancy. As our general
election will be held on June Sd, unless the
concentrated wisdom of Congress should deem
it necessary or expedient to postpone the same,
We think it not only expedient in consulting
the best interests of our people. but right that
his Excellency, the Governor, or, in his 40
sence, the Secretary. should issue his writ or
notice to the Sheriff of this county calling such
special election, TO fill the vacancy, on the same
day as the general election in June. BY doing
so our county would be saved the additional
expense of holding q separate and distinct
election on a different day; an expenditure
that would be burdensome and unnecessary
under the present circumstances aud pres
ent condition of our county finances We
volunteer the suggestion. on the score of econo-
my, for the consideration of our Acting Gov
ernor, who, we are convinced, will do what is
right and proper under the circumstances.

PASSIVE Policy ENpoRsED.-There now

PASSIVE Policy ENDoRsED.-There now
appears to be but little doubt that the Democ-
racy in the approaching presidential contest
will act in accordance with that line of action
denominated the "passive policy" 1t is re-
ported that Mr.. Voorhees,, of Indiana, has
given in his adhesion, and that every>Demo-
cratic member of Congress, in both branches,
has endorsed the passive policy. on the grounds
that both wisdom and necessity demand Goa
lition of all elements opposed to the re-elec-
tion of Grant August Belmont, Chairman of
the National Democratic Central Committee,
visited Washington, on March 9th, and was
present at an informal meeting of prominent
members of the party, which was also attend
ed by the leading Democratic members of
both Houses of Congress. The question rs to
holding u National Convention was discussed
by Senators Casserly, Blair, Stockton, Bayard
and others, and the dispatches state that the
feeling is unmistakable against calling con-
vention until after the adjournment of the Gin
cinnati Liberal Republican Convention; and
that it was admitted, that any coalition with
the Republicans must be made on the question
of strength The Rhode Island Democratic
State Convention, recently in session. evidently
favored the adoption of the passive policy. and
elected delegates to National Convention, 'in
case one was held" Wherever the Democra-
cy, either in State Conventions or through their
Central Committees, have given any expression
of opinion as to the proper line of action to
be pursued, it has thus tar been invariably in
favor of the adoption of the passive policy.
There are dissenting voices, of course, as is
always the case in the adoption of any plan of
action by any political party; but We believe
the Democratic masses. in view Of the import
ant issues at stake, endorse the proposed pas
siye plan as giving greater promise of success
than any other line of policy that could be
pursued.
