WHILE our travelling agent was in
the Upper Payette valley he heard
complaints made against the Register
of the land office at Boise City, in the
matter of overcharging the settlers
who go to the office to file on their
lands. One gentleman of intelligence
and reliability said that he paid $21
in one instance, where the law only
allowed the Register SIG, and in an
other instance he paid 81 when the
law only allowed So. In each in
stance the Register receipted for the
amount only which the law allows, to
wit: SIG and So. What right had
the Register to this extra five in one
instance, and four dollars in the other.
If the legitimate fees and salary Of the
Office are not sufficient compensation
forsthe services rendered, the Register
had best resign. There are ,compe-
tent men in the country who will rem
der the service for the compensation
the law allows; and it is not right to
require the settlers, who are general
ly struggling to acquire homes, with
out much means to go into their peck
cts to feed these officers with what is
sometimes called extra perq's." Let
Uncle SANS agents confine themselves
to the salary allowed by law, or else
get out. The country would not suf-
fer if some Of them should take the
latter course. We have frequently
heard complaints of the nature stated
above, but have not until recently con.
versed with any one who he himselfI
had been victim.

SoME three weeks ago the Chronicl,
published a 'telegraphic dispatch il
which charges of damaging nature
were made against one of California;
representatives in the United States
Senate, and since that time the Cbroa
icle has given publicity to many facts
going to prove the responsibility OF
Senator Sargent for the appointment
and retention in Office of many of the
public plunderers who compose the
Federal ring on this coast. Since the
expose was given to the public the
Senator has announced that he would
vindicate his character through legal
investigation by bringing libel suit
against the proprietors of the Chroni-
Gle. San Francisco is the headouar-
tiers of the ring, and here only is to be
found the evidence to disprove or sus.
tain the charges made Mr.. Sargent
In years gone by had many friends
who believed him then to be honest
and incorruptible, and if he proposes
10 convince those who may still have
faith inihis honesty that he is innocent
of completely with the ring thieves
one of .the>San Francisco courts is the
proper place in which to do It, But.
the Senator has chosen a different
course; he has silently and secretly
hied himself off to an interior town
where he does not even claim resi-
dence, and there, in the center of a
nest Of his henchmen, attempted TO SO.
cure a criminal Indictment against the
of this paper This is not
the bold and manly act Of an injured
and innocent man; it is the revenge
ful work of co@ardiy,and vindictiyeI
sneak, who does not dare to meet his
accusers in the presence of the com.
munlty before whom the arraignment
was first made. The course he has
taken, if anything were needed, will
lose him the confidence and support Of
Ill the intelligent honest people in the
State who have heretofore been his
