After his rescue be kicked himself all the
next day. and promised his wife ard seven
teen ehildren that heneeforth he would buy
an almanac and keep himself posted with
out resorting TO such dangerous methods Of

Yonr favor by express to hand, etc.
sm also under obligations to yol for a copy
of the Wheeling REGlsTEE, containing Dr.
Tslmages interesting and instructive ser
mon.
1t was interesting 10 me in at least two
points: First, as showing the preachers IA
miharity with science, aud the statistics Of
commerce and travel; and secondly, as
wildly describing the field where We are to
achieve our greatest commercial victories
lsincerely trust the incoming admiuistrs-
ton will signalize its advent to government
al control by developing our commerce With
South America.
lfit can do that the whole country would
be united in fact as wen as in name. The
people OF the South have forgotten the
stings Of former defeats by their restoration
to power and the Republicans will be will
ing to forget their first defeat by listening
to the busy hum Of the machinery Of their
factories
Everybody here is jubilaut at the result of
the election, and they = certainly has good
reason to be so since their party have pos.
session of the National and State Govern
ments. i am glad that it will result in
taking from the Southern Republican party
those rascSls who have controlled it for
their own personal advantage. A white
man will soon be able to vote the RepubG.
can ticket in the South without
being ashamed of the men with
whom he is at present compelled
to associate, in order to vote according to
his convictions. The Republican party in
the South as it has existed will now be
broken NJ, and j an not sorry for that 1t
has existed only on account Of the spolls of
office, and as it cannot hope for them now
it viii 90, or rather the leaders oft will, aud
the white men who remain will be those
who are Republicans from conviction, with
no desire for Office. Thanking you again,

accusations against him made q few
weeks ago by some OF the Territorial

integrity white acting as Register OF the
Boise City Land Office. He writes:
During my absence in the East some
Of my enemies took advantage OF what
they supposed would be my inability to
defend myself to stabYme in the back by
preferring charges against me, and pro-
claimed to tho world that sssecret
agent Of the department had secured
suflcicnt evidence Of fraud in the Land
ONCE to convict me Of felony. In reply
to this and all other statements Of q sim
liar nature have only to say that have
in my possession and open TO public in
spection an official copy Of the report Of
said secret service" officer, which was
considered in itself a sufficiently full aud
complete refutation OF those charges by

Twenty Ave or thirty years ago,
think. at Marysville, Cal, which was
then an established, yet shAnty like,

In his law office was young fellow
named George Gorham. who boarded
with plain family, and at the table an
other guest was 4 fiorid. Welsh looking
stranger. In the same house. or the
next house, lived an Irishraan named
Murphy, who had "A bright, interesting

her when anything went wrong with

casions they would take him down to
the stream and duck him, etc. None Of
the guests were especially brave, but
they pnt on very brave front and held
the indignation meeting.
Several years aftcrward one of these
parties, Field, was called to be Justice
of the supreme court. Still later by sew
ernl years the Republicans in California
nominated Gorham for governor, and
they put on the ticket with him the
