NORTH IDAHO.

The Ne,cs says: The people are
unanimous in their desire to become a
part ofthis Territory. 1t is natural that
they should be, for they have no inter-
ests in common whatever with the oeo-
pie Of South Idaho, either socially, p,-
litically, or commercially. All of their
immediate intercourse socially and in
business matters, is with our people.
The people of this Territory will exert
themselves to the utmost in bringing
about the annexation to this Territory
of that part of Idaho which properly be-
, long to US.
The above expresses the conviction of
nne-tenths of all the people of both
Washington and Idaho living within
sixty miles of the boundary line between
the two. We observe that Senator
Mitchell has recently presented in Con
gress a memorial of the Oregon Lecis
lature praying that Walla Walla and
Columbia counties may be given to the
State of O egon. We think that Ore
gon through its representatives exhibits
a spirit of covctousness that is almost
unparalleled IL any great State. Her
domain now is far more extensive east
Of the Cascades than she is willing to
properly make provision for, and many
of her people east of the Cascades are
clamorous to be severed from her in con-
sequence, and unite with portion of
Washington and Idaho and form a new
Territory. Western Oregon has dom,
inant and arbitrary majority Of ropula-
ton and consequent representation 10
the counsels of the State, and she is
consequently penurious towards Eastern
Oregon. She now seeks to absorb the
most populous portion of Washington
Territory east of the Cascades and make
it pay tribute to the western portion of
the State, without any promise or guar
anty of showing any more liberaIity to-
wards the newly acquired portion than
she has shown towards her present
Eastern domain. But Walla Walla and
Columbia counties never will submit to
this change without a struggle. They
have attained all their present degree Of
prosperity without the aid Of Oregon,
and under the auspices of Washington
Territory and they now desire to help
themselves as soon as possible by meaps
of State Government for Washington.
North Idaho has been kept in the back
ground by reason Of her alliance
with that portion of the Territory south
of the Salmon Mountains and most Of
her support from abroad has come from
Eastern Washington and hence she seeks
to ally herseiftr that section and AID in
the formation Of new State at the ear.
Hest possible period. and as a conse-
quence does not wish to see Oregon rob
Eastern Washington Of her. most -four
ishing counties.

SUDDEN CHEcK.-On Sunday night at
about IL o'clock q man having on board a
little more benzine than he could quietly stow
away, became very noisy and boisternus in our
streets. His friends tried to induce him TO go
home but be would not be induced. The noise
no made soon attracted the attention of Sheriff
Baird who was at his home and about retiring
for the night. On hearing the disturbance he
quickly repaired to the spot and offered to es.
cort the man homo but he refused. He then
told him he must 60 homo or 60 to Jail. He
objected to either alternative and seemed to
indicate defiance. Baird then without further
ceremony grappled him and took him to the
jail. On Monday morning the benzine had left
him and he was set free and we hope is wiser
man. We trustour executive officers will al
ways be as prompt in removing from our streets
the disturbances of the peace of the town.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Carr who carries the
Warrens mail and express from Florence to
meet the expressman on the mountain, on his
trip last week in a storm wandered from the
trail and became so lost and bcwildercd that he
could not again find it and remained out all
night but succeeded the next day to reach Flor
ence in dilapidated condition. Swartz who
was to have met him on the mountain, with a
man accompanying him proceeded to the usual
place of meeting and not finding Carr proceeded
towards Florence till he discovered where Carr
had left the trail. Swartz then sent his com
panion forward to Florence with the mail,
while he himself followed Carts trail, till night
without finding him and then returned. We
learn that so soon as the news Of Carr's miss
Ing the trail became known in Florence. other
parties went in search Of the missing man. But
As before stated Carr the next day succeeded in
finding his way back to Florence.

THE LOUISIANA MIDDLE.

Chicago, Jan. ia special to
the Tribune, from New Orleans,
says: One of the bright features of
Gov. Packard's Administration de.
veloped itself Saturday, and that is.
that the worst element of the Re-
publican party is fast going over to
tue enemy. Pinchback, who has
been for three or four days negotiat-
ing the transfer of four Senators to
the Nichols concern, this morning
sentwOrd to Gov. Packard that if the
latter would remove bis objections
to the candidature of the former to
the United States senate he would
guarantee the presence of a quorum
In the senate in two hours. Gov.
Packard did not even favor Pinch
back with a reply, and later in the
day the latter closed the negOtia-
ton and delivered The articles.
Pinchback nd his senators were
received wI<l loud and v%ociferOus
cheering by the adherents of Mich
oils. and the former delivered him.
self of a similar diatribe on Gov.
Packard to that which he adj
ministered to President Grant
last summer at the Cincinnati
Convention. This does not in
any way alter the situation, o will
it seriously cripple Paskard's Ad-
ministration, though it leaves the
Senate without a quorum. All the
important measures, however, have
already been passed. 1t will not be
likely to detract from Gov. Pack
ards reputation that he would not
consent to the election of Pinch
oack even at the risk OF Gripping OF
his Government.

Frozen Bits for Horses Mouths.

Boston Herald,
Let any one who has the care of
a horse these cold, frosty mornings,
deliberately grasp In his hand n
piece of iron indeed, let him touch
it to the tip of his tongue, and then
let him thrust the pit into the mouth
of his horse, If he has the heart to
do it. The horse is an animal of
nervous organization. His mouth
is formed of delicate glands and It's
sues. The temperature of the blood
is the same as the human be
ing, and, as n man, the
mouth is the warmest part of
the body. Imagine, we re.
peat, the irritation that would be
caused the human, and consider
that, # not to the same degree, still
the suffering to the animal is very
great and it Is not a momentsry
pain. Food is eaten with great
difficulty, and the irritation repeated
every day causes loss of appetite
and loss of strength. Many q horse
has become worthless from no other
cause than this. Before linda rubber
bits were to be had, / myself used
q bit covered with leather, and on
no account would have dispensed
with it in freezing weather.
