congress will turn deaf ear to our
memorial. But let them remember
that we have taken the precaution to
hereafter guard and protect our rights
in gaining affair hearing before that
body at the proper time, despite the
pledges of Ainslie to the contrary, and
the ring may, before they are aware,
wake up from their dream of fancied
security and find us at our home in

her people the blessings which God and
nature has provided that should be
common between us. Farewell to the

Mrs Packard the champion of the natural
rights OF women on having her bill, which
had been introduced into the lower house
of Boise, unexpectedly and indefinitely
postponed without debate, was invited to
make her defense of her bill before the
general public in the Methodist church
of that place on the same evening of the
postponement which invitation she accepted
and she was listened to by large and appre-
ciative audience. Her exposition there made
has since been published in pamphlet form
of 36 pages. She scores the members of the
lower house without stint and singles out in
dividual members by name. She has made
bold fl sht for the correctness of her views
upon the natural rights of women, and seems
TO charge cowardce on the part of the
house in not being ready and willing to meet
her arguments, with argument. Viewed in
the light of her reasoning, she certainly leaves
that body III no enviable position before the
public, and has made for herself and her
cause, friends, at thcexpcnse of the members
of that body. The house may have to rise
and explain their case to shield themselves
from obloquy

Letter from Boise.
BOISE CITY, Jan. Is, 81

'OicH VA ouii' - CA'
Ed. TELLER The passage of our
memorial on yesterday by a vote of Is
to s was somewhat Of surprise to
Boise City, and in view of the import
ance of it's passage permit me to say
that the representatives from the
north feel rather iuhilant No Won
der, for ever since the first day of our
session as legislative body the leader
Kelly followed by both Democrats
and republicans have resorted to ev-
cry means to defect this measure, and
in this issue both parties in the circle
embracing Ada, Boise and Washing
ton counties have exerted all their
powers to defeat us, but thank God
every county outside this circle view
us in proper light. In fact four
ffths Of the people with HON I have
come in contact acknowledge the
justice of our measure, and say that
were they similarly situated they
would certainly do as we have DONE
You see by Kellys paper this morn
ing we are charged with combination
coalitions and other personal charges
your humble servant is charged with
certain expressions, which are utterly
false, and 1 don't know but what 1 am
stepping too low for representative
to even give the Ring Boss notice feel
ing as hundreds do that he is too dir
ty to handle with safety We had no
need of forming combinations. Every
man as member of the House, was in
sympathy with the movement. The
trouble is, this Boise City is in the
habit of controlling legislation, and il
makes no difference how much the
passage of a measure is sought by GER
tain counties if Boise City is not ben
Gifted in some way every means is re-
sorted to ,hwart the will of the people.
The members from Boise City Mr.
Gray and Mr.. Brumback 10th on 9th
err occasions ever Wiling to show THEN
oratory and give their opponents an air
ing seemed spell bound, and no one
even raised an objection until the
measure received the sanction of near
ly two-thirds of the House, then, Boise
City realized the situation, and the
truth is that all the acts of this body
heretofore have created no feeling II
comparison to this. 1t is the all alb
sorbing topic on the streets and
elsewhere. Boise City has lost the
power to dictate to all the territory
which really is a heavy blow. The
chief argument now is, that memoir
ais do not amount to anything, but
still these same men write and urge
for the passage of memorials the same
as other people, yet the opposition con
tend that this memorial was secured
by coalition. We all know that nothing
dishonest or wrong in the least was
resorted to, it is simply the will of the
peoply as against Ada county. Ada
county is talking about the removal Of
the capital and many fears are enter
tanned. Well when the people east
have majority, which they are liable
to have owing to rich discoveries Of

Letter to Judge Grigsby.
ASSEMBLY HALL, Boise City, !. 7.
January II 1881.

JUDGE GRlGsBY. i drop you line
to say our memorial passed the house
this morning by a vote of II to 8.
We had worked the case up quietly,
and finding ourselves able to carry it
sent it in. Our aim was to get it to
vote without discussion. The opposi-
ton vera led to believe that it .ould
not pass, and made no fight on it. a
division was called for. A standing
vote showed the above result They
were taken Sc by surprise that none of
them thought of ordering the roll call
Nicols of Shoshone county is very fee
bic, has the consumption, and it is
doubtful if he lives to get home. He
is excused from attendance only as he
chooses, but he was in his seat when
the vote was taken. The ring at first
consoled themselves with the though;
that it would be killed in the council.
and when they found that it was only
a memorial of the house, not concur
rent memorial, you can imagine their
chagrin. This afternoon they under
took to get a reconsideration. None
of our friends would make the motion.
so MIR. Dempsey, of Boise county who
voted in the negative, made a motion
to reconsider, claiming that as the roll
had not been called, there was no rec
ord as to how anyone voted, it must be
taken for granted that he voted with
the affirmative. After some wranc-
ling, a vote was taken whether his
motion should be entertained, The
motion was lost. The vote stood
for and 16 against. To say that tbs
ring is hot just about now, don't hall
express it. We stole march on then
caught them mapping, beat them
cleaned them out and they are mad as
hi. The air is thick with talk oil
combinations, bargains, trades with the
Mormons, and threats of Investigations
&C., &c. Well, I am like the Irish
man who was accused of stealing the
pig, and when asked if he was "guilty
or not guilty." said: "How the divi
can | tell yer honor until l hear the
Evidence" l shall have to wait fol
the violence before | shall decide hov

The governor has vetoed pet measur,
of theirs, bill to change the boundar,
lines of Bear Lake county. The bill
ought to pass over his veto, and
think it will. l expect that ever,
northern vote will be for it. You will
see by the vote that every Mormo,
vote was for our memorial l thinl
the question will be up tomorrow

An Important Circular.

An Important Circular.
We have received copy of circu-
lar issued by the authority of the
"New York Board of Trade and Trans
portation" bearing upon one of the
most important questions of the pres
ent day, namely: The regulating of
rates of fare and traffic on railroads.
both by the general government, in
case of inter state commerce, and by
the several states, in case of internal
state traffic. Tie circular is entitled
"a half hour with one of the great
questions of the day. 1t gives the
conclusion of the report of the senate
committee appointed in 1874 to ascer-
tain the power of congress to regulate
this traffic. 1t gives pithy extracts
from decisions of the Supreme Court
of the United States on the powers of
the state in such cases. 1t gives let
ter from Judge Black in response to
certain questions pro posed by the
board of trade upon the questions. 1t
gives an editorial of the New York
Times, published under the caption:
"The coming confaderacy," referring to
confederacy of railroad magnates.
which it regards as inimical to the
rights of the people and subversive of
their prosperity and even liberty. 1t
sets torch the manner in which railroad
men buy up members Of legislatures,
and even congressman, to work as .he
peoples representatives to increase and
perpetuate the power Of railroad mag
mates against the true interests Of the
people, and alleges their success in
New York and elsewhere. 1t suggests
remedy for these evils, and closes
with the following resolutions unani-
mously adopted by the beard of trade

That Strange Murder.

New York, 29.-Herazd's London
The murder on the London and
Brighton road, on one of the most
frequented lines leading out of the
metropolis, excites the keenest in
terest. LEROY told a strange story
to the railroad officials. How, after
leaving Croydon, he heard a shot
fired and felt a blow on his head,
upon which he became insensible,
and only recovered consciousness on
reaching Preston Park. When he
recovered, he found himself the
only occupant of the compartment,
with a pool of blood at his feet. He
could not tell who fired the shot, but
had an impression that it was an old
gentleman who sat opposite to him.
LEROY was taken to the police
office at Brighton, where he'gave the
above particulars; and afterwards
had his wound dressed at the county
hospital, and was permitted to leave
for his home.

Marshals' Mileage.

Washington. 2S.-First Comptrol-
Ter Lawrence has given decision,
to-day, in which he maintains that
the act of February 22d, rs, as to
fees of marShalS and clerks, does
not change the rate or mode of COM
putting mileage on writs served by
marshals, and that it prohibits in
structive o. mileage on writs trans
mitted and served by deputies and
mileage for travel not necessarily
performed. The opinion further
maintains that, by force of the Re-
vised Statutes, subpenas for wit
nesses who are required to attend
any term of the circuit or district
court on the part Of the United
States, should require them to at
tend to testify generally on behalf
of the United States, and under
such subpoena they are required to
testify before grand jury and a
petit jury. The decision authorizes
the proper accounting officers of the
treasury department to revise the
accounts of marshals and clerks OF
courts of the United States, not
withstanding their approval by the
proper court. The statute authoriz-
ing such revision, Judge Lawrence
holds, is unconstitutional.
