The election Of officers at the Cotton

majority Of 10 votes, he receiving $50,

and highly intelligent citizens, and
both are excellentAs we'll as successful

was believed hat neither would re.
ceiye a majority Of moro than a dozen
votes. Indeed, WagerS we're laid while
the election progressed yesterday that
the majority for the successful candi-
date would not exceed Elk votes. The
issue was mainly as to whether or not
the present call board system should
be supported as a part Of the Cotton

the ticket represented BY Colonel
Taylor favored the abolition Of this
feature. It was generally remarked,
however, that the Cotton Exchange

The doctor put 10 an appearance

house Of low repute, occupied b.
a negro woman, and had there
obtained from him the check in ques,

why he wrote it; he knew no had nc

to his room before he had time tC

knock out his brains unless the check
was instantly paid. He refused Il

NfreetP Paving.

In view Of the paving that must Do
done in this city within a few years to
come and the large expense that it will
involve, it becomes a matter Ofimpor-
lance to adopt the best system of paw
ing, and to keep in view not only
Oheapness and economy but durability
and service. Tho Teliord pavement
is highly commended by some Of our
citizens. A specimen Of this is to be
SeSn around the Louisville depot. It
was laid some three years
ago by Mr.. J.. G. FOgerty,
contractor, and seems to stand tie
wear and tear Of heavy vehicles re.
markably well. 1t isyet as level as a
table and tree from holes, which fact
speaks strongly in its favor. Some Of
the advantages claimed for this pave.
ment are that il is cheap, that it is
very solid yet springy, makes little
noise and is easily repaired without
taking up the foundation. This pave.
ment is wearing much better on
Auction street than the pavement on
Main street, and it is stated that the
Teliord pavement can be laid on SEQ
ond street at a cost Of thirteen thous.
and dollars a mile less than the ordi.

lord pavement or road is in high favor
wherever it has been tried. This Is

NORTHERN IDAHO.

"Council Joint Memorial relating 10
the annexation of the Northern couA-
ties to Washington Territory was made
the subject Of an evening session, when
tho question was considered in CON-
m;ttec Of the whole, and was lost BY .
parliamentary trick. On motion Of Mr.
Robson an amendment was accepted
including Washington and Boise coun.
ties with the Northern counties, which
necessarily killed the memorial in the
Legislative Council.
We regret that any member Of the
Bear Lake delegation should take any
part in throwing tho vet blanket on
the Northern aspirations. The Repub-
lican party had given pledges to the
Northern counties, through Singiser,
and that party should have had the
full credit Of violating those pledges,
and adding insult to their per6dy. II
was not our fight snd it would have
been in better taste to have kept out
of the discussion entirely.
Two years ago we voted for similar
memorial in .he House Of Representa-
tives, which was passed and sent to
Congress, and We have seen no reason
to change our policy. We do not wish
our friends in Northern Idaho to take
the action Of our Representative in the
Council as the settled policy Of South.
ern Idaho, for We take no stock what
ever in the per6dious policy Of the Re
publicaus Of our Territory, who made
pledges and secured the suifrages Of
the Northern counties on certain con-
ditions during the last Congressional
campaign, and who thus give them q
scorpion, in place Of what was Promis-
ed. Our Northern counties will fnd
that in trusting Neil, Singiser and their
few followers, they have trusted brok

Well may Mr.. Hart Of the Demo
crat regret that the Councilman from
his section lent himself to the trick in
defeating our annexation memorial, fol
the North as people have never inter
ierred with the plans aud purposes o
Southeastern portion Of the Territory
nor with their domestic insti ution
whatever they may have thought Ct thei
merits. But ON the question Of annex
alton, the majority of the Southeas
supported Ainslie who openly avowet
his opposition to annexation in the can
vass, and hence Southeastern member
may have thought they we're o. eyini
the will Of their constituents. But "
cannot say as much for Ada, Owyhe
aud other county members who violate
that will as we'll as their special pledge
made to the North, to induce the Mort
to support Singiser. Neil in partieula
has violated all honor as a public ma
and Singiser as well as all honest an
honorable citizens of Idaho Territor
