and Call = Convention.
A meeting of members Of the Re-
publican party Of Alturas county was
held in the Office of the Bruncr Broth
ers, in Bellevue, to consider what
action, if any, should be taken to
secure the representation to which
this county is entitled in the Terri
torial Convention to be held at Boise,
to nominate a Republican candidate
for Delegate to Congress.
The meeting was attended by about
half dozen Republicans of Haley,
and an equal number from Bellevue.
H. q. Burkhardt and c. B. Fox, of
Haley, were called upon to act as
Chairman and Secretary, respectively.
a general exchange of views took
place, during which it was stated that
the Republican County Central Com
mittec had utterly failed to act. One
of the members of that committee had
advised several Republicans residing
on Wood River to take hold of the
matter, so as not to lose their repre-.
sentation in the Territorial Conven.
ton, and this meeting had been called
for this purpose.
1t was therefore ordered that q
county convention for the purpose
of slecting three delegates to the
Territorial Convention be held in
Bellevue on the 18th of this month;
and that primary election for the
purpose of electing delegates to said
county convention be held in tho vari.
Gus precincts on Saturday, the 18th
instant.
The apportionment of delegates to
the county convention was also fixed
as follows:

Our Macon contemporary calls Our
attention to the fact that the reason it
did not protest earlier-and in time to
have some effect-against the recenl
Alexander movement" to pay the Cen
trail Railroad stockholders larger divi-
dends on their stock by issuing to them
income bonds based upon the earnings of
the Ocean Steamship Company, was be
cause before that scheme was virtually ef-
ected the management of the telegraph
and Messenger was in other hands. We
admit that this fact had passed from our
minds at the moment that we penned
our paragraph regarding the hardness of
our contemporary protest. This
probably is also the reason why
our contemporary is unaware of the
fact that the News did oppose the move
ment before it was consummated. If it
will refer to our files of about the latter
part of December last it will see that we
doubted the propriety of the step, and
urged against it. A decided majority of
the stockholders, however, thought diff
ferently, and voted to sustain General
Alexander. The contamination Of his
plans, therefore, may be regarded as a
foregone conclusion, and to oppose them
now, when in about week the income
bonds will probably be issued, can do
no possible good, so far as we can see.
The only effect such opposition can
have now, in our opinion, will be sim
ply to 'bear" Central stock for the
benefit Of few Spectators.

The notorious 313 third termers who
cast sc ballots for Grant in the Chicago
Convention in June, 1880, propose to
memOrize their course by having $50
medals struck of bearing this inscrip-
ton: "Commemoration Of the SO ballots
of the old Guard for Ulysses S. Grant
for President; Republican National Con-
vention, Chicago, June, 1880" OF these
medals, one will be sent to each of
the 313 delegates who voted for Grant,
and the balance to General Grant and a
few stalWart friends. The head of the
medal will be engraved on letter paper,
and be sent along with these souvenirs.
The first design of the medal in brass
was forwarded to New York and sub.
mitted to General Grant, his wife,
Conkling and few other ladies and gen.
tlemen for appreciation.
It is worthy Of comment how fire.

nection with this action of the GRANTEES.

Republican ExfraHagance.

The st. Louis Republican calls atten-
ton to the fact that the recent aPpropri-
alton for the postal department. as re-
ported by the Republican committee to
the House of Representatives comes
within $22, 500 of the estimates made by
the department, and is something more
than 81, 500, 600 in excess of the appro-
priations made for the current fiscal
year. This it, with great good reason,
considers is significant of tic fact that
with the return of the Republicans to the
control of Congress the country is to be
again RECALLED with an era of extrava-
gance which so conspicuously marked
the days of Grantism.
Arguing upon this subject, our
Western contemporary makes certain
points worth the consideration of
the country. 1t truly says: "The de-
partments can always be depended on
to ask for more than they actually need,
SO the policy of economy and retrench-
ment introduced by the Democrats when
they took control Of the House in the
FOrty-seventh Congress was marked by
a reduction of the appropriations below
the estimates made out by the depart
ments. 1t is notorious fact that the
departments could easily have been
run on less. money than was
actually appropriated, but with
constant struggle by the Executive
Department to spend all the money it
could get its hands on, a Democratic
Congress could never accomplish the
full measure of possible retrenchment
Shackled by an unresponsIve admins
tration, the Democracy never realized
the full measure of economy, and now
that the Republicans control both the
legislative and executive departments
economy is to be neglected altogether
If the appropriations begin with an in
crease of two and half millions in one
bill, it is easy to foresee what an enor-
nous increase will be piled up in the
aggregate if the Republican party sue
ceeds in executing its projects of ex-
travs gance."

The last issue Of the AdUanes Gazette
contained an item from the Pensacola
custom house relating to the expected
arrival there of a cargo of railroad iron.
The value of the ISL tons of rails ex-
pected is, as was stated, 1924 q; the
duty to be paid thereon is, as was also
stated. $32,242 so. Without this duty
the rails could be laid down there at
very little greater cost than one-half the
sum now required.
Our Florida contemporary, comment
| ing on the above, states some plain,
home facts regarding its experience of
how protection affects the South, and
remarks that Sin this instance it is, per
haps, little cheaper for the importers TO
get their iron from England than to buy
it in this country. Ordinarily, however,
those who want railroad iron can get it
/ in the United States for a little less than
the first cost in England with the i'm
port duties and freight here added. This
fact reduces the importation of foreign
railroad iron to the minimum, whereby
the governments revenue from the tariff
on railroad iron is also reduced to a
comparatively nominal figure. The fact
that one cannot bring thirty-six
thousand dollars worth of English iron
here, however, without paying thirty
two thousand dollars for the privilege,
enables the American manufacturer of
railroad rails to charge the consumer
about sixty-two thousand dollars for
what he can buy in England for thirty
six thousand dollars, which it will be
observed Is a remarkably good thing for
the American manufacturer, however
rough it may be on the American con-
sumer."
The Adcdncs- Gazette then continues to
say: Railroad companies, not being be-
nevolent or charitable associations, are
not in the habit of paying out sixty-two
thousand dollars for thirty-six thousand
dollars worth of material, without very
clear and distinct purpose of getting
their money back. They deal with the
general public, they transport the gen
eral public and the general publics
goods, wares and merchandise, and as
the general public has to employ their
services at all events, it will rot be very
long before the contributions of that
public relieve the railroad of its burden
Of that thirty thousand dollars, over and
above the value of the iron, and place it
upon the shoulders of that same general
public, consisting of everybody except
the manufacturer and the railroad"
There is no difficulty in determining
who ultimately bears the burden, and it is
also equally patent that the manufac-
turer reaps the benefit
This is one isolated instance of the
thousands that daily occur in this coun-
try, in different branches of business,
Illustrative of the wretched imposition to
which the great bulk of the people of the
United States have for years been quietly
submitting.

Salaries VS.. Taxes.

The salaries of our principal city off
GERS have all been increased of late, and,
by reference to the proceedings of Coun
Gil, elsewhere published, it will be seer
that those of the Mayor and Chief OF
Police were advanced last evening-the
former five hundred and the latter two
hundred dollars. These officials may be
worthy and well deserve the increase,
but we very much question the wisdom
of the proceeding at this time,
when so much necessary outlay will be
required for drainage and other purposes,
when taxes have already. been raised
from 81 to 3 per cent. on real estate, and
when many unusual expenses have been
added this year to the tax budget. When
1t is remembered atSavannah is already
about the heaviest taxed city in the
South, this action is rather hard upon the
people.

lit is reported that the Rugby colony,
recently established in Tennessee by Mr..
Thomas Hughes, has, at least partially,
proven a failure. 1t is stated that the
Rugby Board Of Land Ownership has
made an assignment at the Office in Lon
don. and that several of the colOnists
have returned to England and instituted
suits against the board. Several still
remain, however, and propose to bend
all their energies towards yet making the
colony a success. Perhaps after the dis
satisfied and discontinued have been
weeded out from among them, they will
stand a better chance than heretofore.
