An Honest Governor.
WASHINGTON, March l6.-Governsr
John Irwin of Idaho has returned to
the Treasury Department the sum of
$3.50. the amount of his salary az Gov
ref that Territory for the quarter
ending December last. He had already
returned his salary for the two previous
quarters. His reasons are that he was
unable to perform the duties of his
Office. and could not conscientiously ac-
oept the salary. His coaduct is the
marvel of the department. Only few
such cases are on record. Secretary
FOlger some time ago ordered the re-
turned salary placed in the conscience
fund. bat to this Irwin filed objection
he wrote to the Secretary, telling him
he did not retnrn the salary from con
scientious scruples, bnt simply because
1t was not earned. Folger has ordered
the money into that fund, however, for
the reason that there is no other place
to put it.
Another Land Grant Forfeit.

on Public Lands, reported substitute
for the dill declaring forfeited the land
grant of the Oregon Central Railroad,
and asked permission to file report at

which is recommended for passage de-
clares that all land on uncompleted por
tons Of the Oregon Central. between
Portland and Astoria, granted by the
act of May, 1870, be forfeited and open
ed for settle ment on the Same terms as
If 1t had not been granted.
