ed with the history and present condl-
ton Of Idaho, or his report would have
reached more into details, and the
Territory would have been benefited
by it.
Being cut off from outside markets for
want Of channels of transportation, there
! is slight inducement to agricultural en-
terprise beyond the demands for home
consumption"
This remark is true, and explains
why there is no great attention pald
TO agriculture. But the early compile
ton of the branch of the Utah and
Northern railroad through Southern
Idaho is certain. On the line I the
road the land is being rapidly located.
The population Of the country through
which it has been completed is III
crtaSing at an astonishlngly rapid
pace. In year or two from the time
the road reaches Boise City the popu-
lation Of the Territory will double.
The Governor says in his report that
he will recommend that at the next
session Of the Legislature a law be
passed requiring returns and reports
Of mining and agricultural statistics, as
at present there are no reliable sources
from which to gather statistics. Such
law ought to be passed. and we
hope the members of the coming SEES
sion will attend TO the matter.
Our population is estimated at "a
600. In 1870 it was 20,5SS.
The Governor recommends the build
ing If military wagon road from
Fort Boise to Fort Lapwai. 50 much
has already been said on this subject
that comment is unnecessary. The
road is much needed, aud we are glad
to see that il is recommended IN the
report.
The report shows the present
debt of the Territory to be about
100000, including the coin debt and
ten per cent. bonds.

with the decision Of the committee.
There are two lengthy reports. Eleven
members Of the committee, after reviewing
the testimony, make the following reference
to the charges against the Governor:

implicated Coy Colqqitt In this transaction In
di, charge OF the duties OF his high position.
They also find that he has not been guilty Of
any illegal conduct or corrupt practices In the
matter OF said Endorsement.
In the opinion OF this committee. the reports
and rumors that connect the name of the Gov
ern9r WITH any improper conduct In the matter
Of the tndor ement Of the bonds OF the North
eastern Railroad Company are vile and malig-
nant ISLANDERS.
A minority report submitted by two mem
bers OF the committee also reviews the testi-
mony and differs somewhat with the major
ity upon minor matters, but Is In full accord
with them as far as Gov. Colguitt's connec-
ton with the Endorsement Of the bonds is
concerned, the only way In which the Cover
nor Is In any way connected with the transac-
ton. In referring to this the minority report
says:
Whatever may have been the motives that
moved the parties to this contract to enter into
1t. 1t is absolutely certain that neither it's terms
nor anything growing out OF 1t could have In
the least degree influenced the conduct of the
Governor in indOrsing the bonds; and we do.
therefore. brand rs q libel the insinuation that
the determination Of Gov. Colauitt to indorse
the bonds was induced by any sinister influence
or unworthy motive.
At the time Gov. Colquitt's letter was pub
lished 1t was pronounced the utterance either
of an entirely honest and much slandered
man or a bold hypocrite. The latter ooncIu-
sion WAS inconsistent with the life and charae-
ter Of the man whom the people OF Georgia
have repeatedly honored. The former con-
clusion was consistent with that life and
character. We are pleased TO print the official
statement that the committee could find moth
ing rejecting on Gov. Colquitt, even remote
ly. His vindication is complete, If that can
be called vindication, which exonerates 0
good man from o charge which no one who
knew him believed. and which was set up to his
political injury.

The sugar importers and retiners OF New

mans sugar tariff bill aid endeavoring TO get
an ad ratoren, duty placed on sugar. instead
of specific duty, as ut present. Their only
reason for this proposed change Is that the
sugar refining business of New York Is in a
very bad condtion-due almost wholly to
frauds and adultoration. The New York
Steam Refinery, which cost 100000, was sold
AZ auction the other day for $i5, $50, ergo the
duty on sugar should be reduced one-half.

The charges which Gov Colquitt desired to
have investigated in the above letter were
said to have been set atloat by Senator Hin.
That gentleman, ut least. was active In the
matter after the reports were abroad. and
displayed an animus unfavorable to the Gov
ernor
The Legislature promptly responded to
Gov. Colqutts invitation to investigate his
conduct in connection with the charges. and
appointed a committee of thirteen for that
purpose. This committee met, and, contrary
TO public expectation, decided to sit with
closed doors, with the understanding, how
ever, that all the testimony taken should be
published when the investigation closed. and
the conclusions of the committee were made
up and embodied in their report After some
