I'd. S. Butts, Cashier of the Vicksburg
Bank, was examined By the Congressional
Investigating Committee, and be testified
to substantially the same facts as detailed
by Col. Horace Miller. He exhibited the
tax receipts Of an estate for which the bank
was agent, taxes on which in 1869 were
$3.50, on a valuation Of s, 800, and tax
receipts on the same for 1873, in which the
taxes We're SIS6.S0, on a valuation Of 81
400. He thought the increase in taxes was
causedby the reckless sextravagance Of coun-
ty officials. The Taxpayers League grew
out Of this state Of affairs. During the time
the taxes have been mainly
levied BY blacks and paid by whites.

always been a Republican. There was no

THE TELEGRAPH.

Now that the electric flash will soon
be shivering messages along the
wires from Boise City to all parts Of
the earth, and the citizens of that
place reaping the benefits sure to fol-
low the enterprise, it is high time
Boise county should awaken from her
lethargy and take the initiatory step
to have the line extended to this and
the other towns of the Basin. The
cost Of the line from Silver City to
Boise was ten thousand dollars, if we
remember correctly, the citizens of the
latter place contributing one-half OF
that amount to have it done. The
line can be brought to Idaho City from
Roise-about one half the distance
that intervenes between the latter
place and Silver-and put in opera
ZION for one-third Of this amount, the
easy access to the timber rendering
iis construction a great deal cheaper,
Il course than would be the case had
the sotes to. be transported from dis
&AAse. There is not the least doubt
that when the time comes to act any
sum Of money necessary could be
raised in twenty-four hours; and no
fears need be entertained Of not being
placed in Geographic communication
with the outer world inside Of very
few months, at farthest.. But we call
attention to the matter simply to keep
it before the public, and would sug-
gest that a consultation among the
citizens in relation to the best plan Of
procedure in the premises would not
be considered premature. The click
Of the telegraph battery is sure to be
heard here, and that in a short time !;
and the sooner the arrangements are
completed to bring it about the better
will it be for all concerned. Every in
telligent man should have the credit
Of knowing without being informed
what it is to have network Of tcle-
graphic wires threading the country
that in all mercantile and other bust
ness matters country thus favored
has an even chance with other por-
tons of the world. The time is now
ripe for this modern triumph Of science
to be diffusing it's invaluable influence
and benefits through Idaho. We must
speak to the world at large and with
the rapidity of lightning tell them
about the fabulously rich mineral, ag-
ricultural and grazing resources of the
Territory. The telegraph invites and
introduces capital, and capital builds
railroads. and makes other gigantic
improvements. The telegraph is the
sure forerunner of the. iron horse
The telegraph induces immigra-
ton, and population is what we
want.

THE PRICE or IT.

I
Simultaneous with the announce
ment of the appointment of H. Q. Ad
ans to tho District Attofneyship Of
the First Judicial District came the
publication. of. Gov. Benefits bluff
and ,blackguard letter abusing Fem
and .Rrumbach. This singular coincl'
deaee furnishes food for the reflective
and contemplative mind. Bennett in
timated in his letter that the reason
he was somewhat dilatory about pub
fishing it was his great kindness and
consideration towards Mr.. Fenn-kind.
ly granting the latter gentleman ample
opportunity of collecting up evidence
and getting good start. Such gen.
crosby is without parallel in the car
pet-bag world. Let us sift the matter
a little. If Mr.. Fem cares enough
about it to trace it up and ferret out
the facts, they will be proven to be
something like the following: Joe
Huston and Joe Pinkham went up to
Lewiston to attend court in that Dis
trict. Bennett, before they left Boise,
handed one of them a commission all
filled out with the exception of the
name Of the appointee, which was left
blank. Arriving at Lewiston these
gentlemen passed the commission
over to Judge Whitson, with instruc-
tons to interview Adams and see
what kind of metal he was made out
of. Whitson interviewed Adams, and
the letter from the latter to Bennett
was procured, and Adams name filled
the blank space in the commission and
was therefore duly declared the Dis
trict Attorney for the First Judicial
District Of the Territory of Idaho "by
authority in me vested" Had not Ad-
ans written the desired letter 10 Ben
nett he would not have received the
appointment, and Bennett would not
have run his BLACKBOARD bluff at Fem
through the columns Of his organ. 1t
will also be discovered that Judge
Whitson is the individual who made
the bribery overtures to Adams in be-
half Of Bennett il relation 10 dismiss
ing the taking Of testimony for Mr..
Fem. Adams letter barely saved the
Governor from being nattcncd ont
aatter than any poor little carpct-hag
ger ever was nattened or ever will bc
,ilattencd That bribery business
touched him on a sore spot for il was
the only little rascality yet brought to
light committed by him out here which
he couldn't expectorate. Bnt Adams
came to the rescue and extended a
plank although avery frail onc-for
the Governor to crawl out on.
Adams, the price Of that appoint
mcnt was cheap. and you needed it,
and the writing of the letter is no re-
lection upon your reputation as a
man, nor does it injure Mr.. Fem in the
least, but on the contrary contributes
to assist him. And another thing, it
helps to show what kind of q man we
have been having for Governor dur
ing the past four years. We arc glad
you wrote it. 1t ended things up
just right

SCHOOL DISCIPLINE WANTED.

We have heard from gentleman who sends
his children to the city Keller School that
there is a great lack of discipline in that
school, which frequently results in injury to
the smaller pupils by the rough and unkind
actions of the larger boys, who are not kept
under proper control. Our informant states
that his little son, aged eight and half
years, came home Monday with his left ann
broken below the elbow, the fracture being
caused by the other and larger boys rushing
upon him, throwing him down, and piling
themselves on top of him.
A few months ago, we are told, little boy
named Peters had an eye put out in the same
school by rude and careless playmates. This
is matter needing immediate attention, and
we trust that both teachers and directors will
use their best endeavors to so enforce disci-
pline as to at least protect those of their pupils
who, on account of their extreme youth, are
unable to protect themselves.

densed and case-hardened cheek, in coming
to New Orleans, where he has been cowhided,
and kicked by almost all.

He telegrsphed United States District At

had to respond that after diligent search the

would be, as the police were after him as

here is the roofing out of old cotton claims.
