Letter From Lewiston.
/ LEWISTON, Aug. 90

| LEWISTON. Aug. 23d, 1878.
ED. TELLER Having spen. a week
IN Mt Idaho and vicinity, ard boliev.
ing that the people Of our section are
somewhat interested in the growth and
progress Of Idaho county, 7 will state a
few facts for their persuul. After
going over beautiful rolling prairie
and passing some of the finest grain
fields that this country can boast of,
we come upon the picturesque village
of Mt idaho, situated at the foot of a
range, called the Salmon river noun
tains. Too much credit cannot be given
to the man who has spent his time
and money, in changing q wilderness.
into one OF the most beautiful villages
on the Pacific Coast. The time is not
far distant, when the people of Lewis
ton will flock to Mt. Idaho, to get away
from the broiling heat of Summer. to
spend a few weeks among the groves
and springs of this beautiful little town.
Mr.. L. 7. Brown, the gentlemanly pro-
prietor of the Mt Idaho Hotel, is doing
everything in his power to further the
interests of the village and his people.
He has already erected -four mill saw
mill, planing-mill. &C., and from his
own means he will plank the streets
and build sidewalks on both sides of
Florence and Main streets this Fall II
Lewiston was blest with few men as
enterprising as Mr.. B., we too, would
have sidewalks and such other improve
ments as our city is sadly in need of.
| neglect to state that Grostein & Bin
nard have purchased piece of land,
corner of Main and Florence streets.
where they intend to erect store and
warehouse with all the modern improve
ments. The building is to be one hun>
dred feet square and will no doubt add
greatly to the beauty and business of
the town. Yours 6c

Two Objections Urged.

| We saw a letter the other day from
one Of the delegates to the late Cousti-
tuition Convention, who lives in one of
the river counties Of Washington, in
which he writes as follows:
Il have strong hopes our work will
be adopted by the people next Fall.
But it will be strongly opposed by men
OF capital on account of the restrictions
in the article on Corporations. and al.
most unanimously by the Catholics on
account of the tax OH church pronerty"
If these are the only objections that
lie against the Constitution, they will be
confined to . small proportion of the
voters, aud with the other portions these
instead OF being objections will be argu.
ments in favor Of its adoption. We DO
not wonder that some capitalists, who
have had an eye upon the advantages of
Washington Territory offered to them
to invest small amount of money and
secure the riches of the country and
evade the payment Of taxes to support
the government of the Territory and re-
move all their surplus to California and
Oregon to enrich those States
should oppose state government. The
large mill owners on the Sound who
live III California, have hoped to be able
to continue to fleece Washington Terri.
tory to enrich themselves and the State
OF California. The same is true of some
capitalists who do business on the CO.
lumbia river, and derive most of their
income from Washington Territory. but
who do very little towards the support
OF the government Of the Territory.
The provisions of the Constitutional ar.
ticle on Corporations compvls them to
bear their proportion OF the burdens of
the government as they ought to do,
and forces them to become identified
fully with the interests OF the State, If
they seek to make their wealth within
its boundaries. II they kick against
these provisions they are only kicking
against the pricks. The masses of the
people must say that the Constitution is
only just to all IN these provisions. The
tax upon church property is also lust
under our system OF religious liberation
and the protection the government is to
afford to this property It applies
equally to all sects aud denominations
without distinction, and the Catholics
ought not to ask of the government that
they should be made an exception with
their property. Under our system of
universal liberation aud protection for
all religions, why should any one de-
nomination owning 5000, $4,000 or.
SD 900 worth of property, ask that it
be not taxed. any more than railroad
company, banking Or manufacturing
company should ask that their property
be exempt from taxation. Our govern
ment is not organized to support and
foster any religious sect, but to give
protection and perfect freedom to all.
and all property of whatever kind, to
whomsoevcr it may belong, should be
taxed to support the government from
which 1t seeks its protection The prin-
clplc is right and must prevail.

THE VETO.

Both Houses OF Congress having ad-
iourned, on Thursday evening until Mon
dsy, the silver bill cannot be presented
TO the President before that time. Tho
Clerk Of the House must first inform the
Senate of the concurrence OF the former
body in the amendments made by the
latter. before it can be sent to the White
House. This will probably be done on
Monday. The President will then have
ten DAYS in which to prepare his veto
message and return the bill to the
House. That brings US to the 9Th OF
March. If the veto is forthcoming, and
the impression Is strong that it will be,
there seems to be no doubt whatever OF
the speedy passage of the bill again by
more than two-thirds of each House.
Everybody may as we'll prepare to re-
ceiye the silver dollar.

OUR MEMBER.

:. The STATE Jostrnai, at Psrkersburg,
after mildly criticising Col. BEN. Will
soN's speech on War CLAIMS, and object
ing to the principle which the Colonel
seeks to have incorporated in this legls'
lation, that no man shall be regarded
guilty until evidence OF his guilt Is estab-
lished, adds:
1.-THE aim of Col. Wilson TO have GER
tain classes of claims, or perhaps all war
claims, referred to special tribunal OF
commission to be provided for that pur'
pose, is, in our opinion, good one
There are hundreds of deserving claims
which have been, if not criminal
", then necessarily, for want OF time
overlooked in the regular departments,
MANY of these claims are by farmers who
have given their all nearly in the shape
of hay, grain, horses, &c, to aid the army
in the prosecution of the war, and there
can be no excuse fer delay in their ex'
animation and payment. We hope our
member will press the matter with Die
admitted energy and ability until 1t has
taken practical shape"

WEST VIRGINIA MILITIA.

We are glad to have SO conclusive q
poof as Yesterdays parade furnished, that
the military spirit has not died out in the
community, but has as strong and ten
acious a grip as it ever had. There are
many good and sufficient reasons why
militis companies should be organized
where there are none at present and well
supported whore they are already in OK
istence.
The very nature OF our institutions
causes our dependence, in time OF war,
to bo placed upon our citizen soldiery,
who would form our armies So they have
have in other years. In case
of internal dlstur Dances, such as
the riots of last summer, no State
could or would ask for better defenders
than their own militia. In those States
like New York, where the regiments
were sufficiently numerous and equipped,
thew answered to the call OF the Governor
with promptness That gave those en-.
dsngered complete confidence in their
ability and willingness 10 firmly obey
orders and support the legal authorities.
in other States where the militia were
few in number and poorly equipped they
were of httle or no avail. Besides this,
the military spirit is blameless one,
much better than the majority OF things
which catch the fancy of young men.
The drilling is healthy, teaches the men
how TO walk and to bear themselves, and
also teaches them TO obey-which is
something that many youth needs most
deplorsbly. in our own State we
do not mean that companies should
be formed in Wheeling or one Or two Of
the large towns alone, but in all the coun-
tics where it is practicable militia CON-
pauy would be proper. As there are
many who can afford to join such an
organization, but do not desire to, let
them aid in eQuipping those who have
the wish but not tho means of gratifying
il. Let the authorities of the towns do
all IN their power TO procure the company
a drill room and assist them as far as
possible. II this advice will but be &C
cepted, the good effect viii appear in due
course of time, and every locality through.
out the State that has military COM
psuy, will be as proud of it and rs justly
appreciate il IS Wheeling does her own.

old, old, sad story, of feminine trust and
masculine perddy. Love, the very eI'
istence OF womsn; solemn promises, on
the other side, implicit faith, which is an
attribute of love; betrayal; an effort to

string Was only long enough to reach

standing with tho butt on the ground.
Seeing this, his shectiCnate spouse called
out TO hIm: "Why, Jimmy, you'll have
TO have a longer string. Il must be long
enough to pass down under the butt, be-
cause the trigger must be pulled down,

Of course he did not "sulcide" that day.
Goa another day he had the blues
again, and declared thst he must die.
He loaded his gun, called his children to

AN INFANTILE MARRIAGE.

In the early part of his week young
couple in this city, who have conceived &
strong attachment for each other, con.
cluded that it was necessary to bind
themselves together by stronger bond
than that OF mere stiectionate mutual
pledges, and rs the law of Ohio, prevents
such infsntlle marriages without Ire con-
sent of the psrents-the parties in this
case being aged respectively eighteen
and fifteen-and rs they could not hope
to gain such consent At this time, they
concluded to take the matter in their
own hands, and for that purpose hied
away to the inviting shores OF Pennsyl-
vania Eldersville, Washington county
was the objective point, They procured
a horse and buggy, crossed the ferry and
claiming they were going to Wellsburg to
wait some friends, proceeded on their
mission without their friends having =
suspicion whence they were bound and
for what purpose. In due time they re-
turned and proceeded 10 occupy their
stations in life. But they say murder is
bound to come to ligh: some time, and
we are inclined to think the maxim will
hold good in regard to secret msrrisges.
By some means or other the secret of this
loving young couple became known to
their friends, and caused flutter Of
astonishment and diSmsy in their midst.
The parents are 81 a loss what course TO
pursue. Even If 1t was thought advIss-
BILE to let matters take their course,
the boy is not in position
TO support wife, and as neither
OF the fathers are wealthy, they are IN
able to assist them 10 any great extent.
At the present writing the glrl-wife and
the boy husband are each staying at their
respective homes, and so we will have TO
leave them snd await further develop
ments.
