THE IDAHO GovE2NoRSIIP.

Hon. John F. Hoyt. formerly speaker CT the Michigan House of fRepresentaiives, ana later Governor of Arizona, is spending le" weeks in the city. Near the close of me last session. II will be remembered, MT. Uoyt was nominated for Governor ct ldaho, and John C. Fremont for Governor of Ari- zona. Fremont's nomination was confirmed and Eoyt' nor reached, the latter thus drop hing 60 the ground between the two guoer- natorial stools. The .leiav in Hoyt's case was caused bv the representations of Gov. Brayman's friends that certain accusations made agaInst BFayman were not well ioun"- ed. and that more time should De gwen l"i defense before he was removed. II Is no" considered certain, however. that Governor Bravman must retire. In the meantime Hovt has established a lucrative law pFae- tlce in Arizona, and some time since sent to the Department that he did not desire to have his name again presented. He also uroed the retention oT Brayman- At the urgent request of citizens of Idaho anu others however. NIT. Hoyt has consented upon certain contingencies to accept me position. and it is probable that he Will again soon be nominated. d.-DetroIt Posi Dec. 5th.
 We know nothing of the qualification ol fitness of Gov. Brayman for the position nc occupies, but we can safely promise the peo. i pIa of Idaho that in case the whlrllg1g oi ! fortune shall finally turn up John r. Hoy' as iheir Governor, they can rest assured thai
 he will prove good man, and irue,-de!i' berate and wise in his judgment, prompt ID emergencies and faithful in everything. IT
 case he finally goes to Idaho Arizona vii i loss a desirable citizen and idaho will gail
 a good Governor.

HEADQUARTERS AGAIN.

4 prominent merchant of this town is in receipt of letter from well-known Gin this vicinity mining gentleman, now in San Francisco, but quite recently at Tucson, stating that the Headquarters of this Mill tary Department was about to be transfer red to Tucson, and that the move was en- doIsed by General Sherman and General Wilcox. We do not believe there is much foundation for the report, nor do We thlnl; Generals Sherman or Wilcox have advocated such an unwisc change. If Headquarters are to be taken south, better send it clear into Sonora at once. Perhaps it would be q wIse conclusion for the Government to purchase all of Mexico and attach it to greas, big Tucson.

Prenaring for an Emergency.

When Rev. Dr. Fisk was principal ot the Wilbraham Seminary, he was never known to give way to anything like ievlty but once. X minister's son, now respected member of the New England Conference, was considered the worst boy in the school, and the Doctor. much against his will, found it necessary to fog him. Charles y said he. prepare yourself fer a severe chas- tisement Tn mediately after the noon hour Charles moved aw.v demurely and when the school assembled in the afternoon he was called up, snd the Doctor looking as solemn as funeral and severe as Field Marshall drew his rattan and laid 1t with unction on the boys back. Nothing followed the blow but dust, not even shrug of the shoulders of the mischief maker, "Take off your coat sir" was the next demand; again the rattan whistled over the boys back, but without effect. '.Take of vour vest, still there was another under II, take off the other shouted the Doctor; off came the other and exposed dry codfish defendng the back of tine culprit. and lower down, q stout leather apron d0abled over other exposed portions of hIs body. What does this mean de mandes the Doctor, "Why said the great rogue, in an humble and persuasive tosc,
 ''You told me to prepare myself for punish ment. and have done the best could" The Doctor was 50 completely overcome that he threw down the whip and rushed into h!s study to prevent his pupils from witnessing the burst of laughter with wAich he was ready to explode.

Sander has very properly been styled ''the foulest whelp of sin," contingent upon which it follows that the slanderer CT scaa- dal monger is of the lowest order in the scale of moral progress, indeed it may be doubted whether or not the islander belongs to a class of fnon-descripts beneath the point where progrees hesins,
 The swollen eyes, bleeding heart and hag- gard face of the slandered tell, after days of unrest and nights of weeping, where the trail of the serpent of scandal has left its poison and the slimy worm of islander its sickening stench.
