Head OF the vandals.

On Monday, Aug. 6, an expedition
left New York under the auspices of
the New York Advertising Sign Com
pany, with the intention of making ad-
vertising bill boards of every bit of
scenery, especially mountain scenery
that attracts tourists, from Maine to
the Pacific. The company expects to
put up signs at stations on the plains,
On fences and on telegraph poles, but
their great hold will be the faces of
rocks, the sides of canons and the sin
gular and grotesque formations that
stand throughout the Rocky Mountains,
and expect to have no difficulty in
carrying out their design, as there is no
law against defacing natural scenery
outside of New York State. These
fellows should be taught, however, that
the will of the people is law, whether
expressed by statute or not, and the
natural scenery of the west has to serve
a better purpose than becoming a We
hicle for the transmission of Informs
ton concerning the virtues of the quack
nostrums with which the country is
flooded. Railroad companies should
warn them away from the line of their
roads, and every dweller in the vicinity
of our places of resort should provide
himself with a shot gun, and coolly
claim every bit of natural scenery with
in sight of his ranch. The party num-
bers ten persons, and will come well
armed, prepared to fight out their pro-
gramme if possible.

the COUNTY FATHERS.

The Board of County Commissioners
convened again Wednesday morning.
Present: E. Nagle and A. II. Swan.
Absent: John Sparks.
Salary and other bills amounting in
the aggregate to S3,603.21 were allowed
and warrants ordered drawn in pay
ment. Afew bills, amounting to about
$500, were referred, to be reported
upon at the next meeting.
The following resolution was intro
duced, and on motion, adopted:
Resolved, That no more attorneys
fees will be allowed by the Board for
defending criminals tried in the county
except in leases where the services are
authorized by the Board of Commits
sioners.
A report of work done, accompanied
by a bill for building wagon road
from Hat Creek to Deadwood, was
received from w. NJ. Ward and J. D.
May. Full payment was refused, the
Board believing that the terms of the
contract have not been complied with.
Mr.. Maggie was authorized to make a
trip over the road, inspect and report
upon it..
The Board then proceeded to desig-
nate the election precincts and polling
places i'll Laramie county, for the cleo
ton of the territorial legislature,
which occurs on Tuesday, Sept. 4th.
Following is the list of precincts,
polls, and judges of election:
Cheyenne.-Poll at Recreation Hall.
Judges: L. y. Kent, l.. c. Stevens,
w. d. Pease.
Louer Horse Creek.-Poll at Freel's
old ranch. Judges: G.. b. Goodell, 7.
A. McShane, - Lagrange.
Upper Horse Creek.-Poll at L..
Davis ranch. Judges: d. S. Shaw, o.
p. Goodwin, r. G. Dalton.
Pole Creek-Poll at Schwartze's
ranch. Judges: Fred Schwartze, Wm.
Holt, Isaac n. Bard.
Chuguater.-Poll at Liggett II
Gaines ranch. Judges: II. b. Kelley,
Al. Gaines, Colin Hunter.
Granite Cdnyon.-Poll at II. r..
Depot. Judges: A. w. Haygood, d.
O'Donald, Newton Bond.
Pine BhUS.-Poll at d. c. Tracy's
house. Judges: A. Tracy, j. r. Cor
don, f. II. Cole.
Fort Lardmie.-Poll at Three-mile
ranch. Judges: Isaac Battleyun, J. J.
Hauphoff, Charles Wright.
EgJert.-Poll ut section house.
Judges: J. NJ. Culver, John Wallace,
James Golf.
Considerable discussion was had on
the subject of sub-dividing the Chey-
enne precinct, but this was decided to
be an unwise measure. A proposition
by Mr.. Nagle to supply a separate poll
for female voters was ~favorably re-
garded, but it is probable that instead
of this, the front doors of Recreation
hall will be thrown open on election
day for the admission of female voters
only; males voting at the usual place.
The Board adjourned subject to the
call of the Chairman.

official and personal qualifications.
Under these directions the pres
ent Collector caused to be ap-
pointed as special deputy an expe-
rienced official who had served with
integrity and efficiency for some terms
in the Custom House. His course was
fully approved by the President and the
Secretary of the Treasury in letters
which have been printed. 1t was SO
approved even after these high officials
had been informed of the bitter opposi-
ton and disgust of Messrs. Wells and
Anderson with the course Of the Collec-
tor. These men, aided by one CAN'T,
from st. Landry, who was on the bond
Of the Collector for $4,000, demanded
Of the Collector that he should reverse
his old policy, that he should disregard
the instructions from the Secretary OF
the Treasury, and contenting himself
with his salary of $1,000 should give to
them the distribution Of his patronage.
Encouraged by his advices from
Washington, the Collector sum-
moned manhood enough to rebel
against this dictation, and when CAN'T,
his surety, demanded that he should be
released from his bond, the Collector
wrote to the Treasury Department to
ask leave to substitute a new bondsman
in his place. The reply was full ap-
prevail Of his conduct. He was told to
90 on in the course he had commenced.
The few friends of the Collector In this
city began to indulge the hope that he
would redeem the reputation which for
years he had sullied by his associations
and his imbecility. At last he had
tumbled into a spirit and began to re-
member that he was native Of Louisi-
ana, OF an honored stock, and once en-
ioyed the respect Of the virtuous Of our
people.
But alas there are too many reasons
to fear that these hopes were premature
and fallacious. At least they will be so
proved If the Collector should allow a
day to pass before sending his resigna-
nation to the President after the in
dignity to which he has been subjected
by the appointment OF Anderson under
the circumstances. We assume that
the representations of the Collectors
friends are true, that he did refuse to
obey the orders and dictation Of the
trio, who appealed to Washington to
vindicate and support their claim that
he be reduced to q mere stipendiary !;
that he denied their authority to
control him in the appointments Of
subordinates, and in other ways treated
him with the contempt Of vassal, serf
and pensioner. And now to submit to
the full approval and Endorsement of
the acts of these men by the President
and Secretary Of the Treasury, for pal
try salary, will be degradation to
which we never imagined any son Of
Louisiana could ever sink.

THE COLLEOTORsHIP INFAMY.

The most disgraceful incident of the
present Federal Administration since
its Inauguration has just transpired in
this city. We refer to the action in
reference to the office Of Collector Of
this port in superseding an appoint
ment Of Special Deputy Collector made
by the Collector In strict conformity to
the rules laid down by the President
and Secretary of the Treasury, with an
appointment of one the most objec-
tionable politicians Of the State,
who possessed not a single one Of
the qualifications prescribed in the
civil service reform. and embodied in
his character and in his life more that
was odious and offensive to this whole
community and people than any other
man who could be selected. Further
information Is required to apportion
among the several parties involved in
this transaction their respective shares
OF the disgrace which it must bring to
them all.
So far as Anderson and Wells, the
conspirators in effecting the recent
change In this principal Federal office
in this State are concerned, moth
ing can be said which can give
any additional hue to the black
ness Of their reputation in this State.
Nor can we in justice attach to them any
special censure for their vigorous en-
forcenent OF their demands upon an ad-
ADMINISTRATION which thew brought into
existence by their stupendous fraud and
crime. But what shall be said Of the ad-
ministration which has yielded to their
insolent demands after its enunciation
to the world as among the new prinei-
piles by which the offices would be dis
tributed, that political considerations
and partisan objects would be disre-
garded, and appointments made with
special regard to the public interests,
preferring experienced and tried
officers, and looking mainly to
