tiOn-Etc.

llOu-LlCs
A. S. Senter, agent of the Shoshone
Falls Improvement Company, came
up yesterday to attend the meeting of
the Republican County Central Com
mittee, and he managed to secure an
apportionment of nine delegates for
his precinct, which will secure it the
preponderating influence in the con-
vention.
Mr.''.Senter says that Shoshone is
quiet, but better times are looked for
soon.
Ground has just been broken for a
new hotel to be erected on the corner
of Post street, facing the depot on
the south side. The builders are An
derson & Flower, Chicago capitalists,
who are working in harmony with the
Shoshone Falls Company. 1t will be
Of wood, two stories, and 3SxSS feet,
and will cost, when ready to open,
100000. 1t will be the stage and ex-
press headquarters, and first-class
house in every respect. The people
of Shoshone are delighted at the
building of this new hotel, as the two
so-ca!led hotels already there are very
inferior concerns.

The bourbon Argument.

Whom we quote the resolutions Of the DEM
pronouncing outlawry upon the Matthews
family, whose head had boon brutality ihur-
dered at tho polls by democratic ruflian,
since rewarded for his prowess by being made
marshal. of tho city of Hazlehurst, we are
told that such illusions are calculated to dis.
turb the serenity which prevails in the SOUTH
When We point to the murdered victims at
Danvile, whose butchers have beon APP
plsuded by grand jury, we are told that we
ought not to revive the bloody shirt.
When we doprocate organized assassination
and the shameless pollution of the ballot-box
for the protection of minority rule, we are
told that "the war is over"
The war being over, Matthews had to die
the death for daring to be q republican.
The war being over, race. hatred may prop.
erly be appealed to as the only road to demo.
cratic success,
The war being over, republicans have no
right to vote in the south.
The war being over, brave ex-confederatcs
who desert the democratic machine must be
hu nted down, ostracized, and treated like
foreign invaders.
The war being over the bourbon jugger-
naut must be allowed to crush its devotces
and its enemies alike in one grand sacrifice
to despotism.
The war being over, dapper little .one-horse
republican statesmen must show their claim
to equality with bourbon gentlemen by dep
recating all censure OF the crimes COM
mitted in revenge for the triumph of the
| union cause.
The war being over. the shattered frag-
ments of the confedoracy should moro COM
| mand than the United States.
And, finally, the war being over all the
glorious results which good men thought had
been achieved must be apologized for by
northern doughfaces.
The war is not over. The war of opinion
must and will go on until everywhere in the
land the humblest citizen may record his will
through the ballot box, and until the will of
numbers-the real sovereignty in nation and
state-shall, under the constitution, be
supreme in the things of which it should OF
right have control.

republican senators. No man is worthy tho
name of republican whose heart is so indu-
rated that it cannot DO penetrated by the
shedding Of blood for political opinions
sake. The accusation mado against the
republican senate that it has within
the lines OF its majority such traitors
to republcanism and to human nature
should arouse the indignation of all. If it
could DO believed, thon one might well de-
spair of tho republic. The base takers of
brides could not be moro contemplate objects
than senators Of tho republican side who
could be capable of desiring to hush up an
inquiry into the murders committed In tho
interest of tho democratic faction, the baser
elements of which rule tho south by drown
ing tho voice of the majority in blood when
fraud will not accomplish the purpose. If
any such there are, which we dony, we call
on the Times and Tribune to name them and
expose them to the worlds contempt.

Name Them.

The republicans of the country are inter-
ested in knowing the names of those republi-
can senator's who, according to the New York
TimeSs and 1ribunes Washington correspond
ents, are so sorry that anything unkind
should be said against the political murdorers
in Virginia and Mississippi. The Washing
ton dispatch in yesterdays Times states that
"there are several republican senators who
are sorry Mr. Sherman introduced the resolu-
tlons, but who will express their regret in
keeping quiet, They will, however, vote yea
on the roll-call as party duty" The lrib.
mes dispatch says "a few Of the republican
senators consider the action of Mr.. Sherman
in Offering his resolution ill-timed and ILL
advised. They seem to think that no good can
llieve that if the question of offering tho reso-
ution had been submitted TO caucus it
would have been answered in tho negative
All of which is an assertion that there is so
much dry rot in the republican party that
the wrongs Of its southern members arc to
some republican senators tedious and dis
gushing subject. 1t would not be crcditablo
to any republican newspaper for its corro'
spondonts to be made the repository of these
pretended secret outgoings Of so-callcd re-
publican senators, still less credltsblc would

The Good Templnrs, Campaign.

The public temperance meetings now being
conducted by Maj. Holden, under the auspices
of the Good Tcmplars, are attracting great in
terest and increasing attendance at each meet
ing. The powers Of the speaker are manifest
in the large numbers that sign the pledge
and the great enthusiasm with which his
eloquent appeals aud graphic descriptions
are received. On last evening, Fourth Street
NJ L. church, Capitol hill, where at present
their meetings are held, was filled with
an audience which showed its ap-
probation by frequent applause Of
Mai. Holden and Mr.. Charles Nye,
In response to invitations to sign the pledge
about thirty persons responded. The meet
ings will be continued during each evening
this week, and should the interest continue
to increase at the rate it has during the past
three meetings, it is doubtful whether the
church will be able to accommodate the poo
pie before the end Of the week. The success
which has attended past meetings has in
duced the committee in charge to secure
more lecturers, in order that tho work may
be extended and the field fully covered.

The Last Senatorial Grab.

The senate has lately resolved that
Each senator. except the chairmen of standing
or select committees, appoint clerk 10 serve dur
ing the sessions of congress, who shall be paid out
of the contingent fund OF the senate at the rate of
So IL day"
This action IS likely TO finally settle very
troublesome question between the two houses.
Thirty-hve senators are benefited by the resolu-
ton, which passed without the least word of Op.
position. II may he assumed that these senators
will appoint members Of their own families to act
clerks Tor them There is no restriction in this
respect Of any kind. Wives, daughters, or sons
are most likely to be chosen for this pretended
service Practically considered, the resolution
adds Sc u DAY Of additional compensation to the
iucOme Of these senators. And 1t confers upon
them the power to appoint u clerk" which
hitherto has been regarded as an executive func-
ton. no! apperluining to individual senators or
representatives, and not sanctioned by law.
This increased pay is charged to that pack horse
for all excessive expenditures, the contingent
fund Of the senate. The question naturally comes
up, will the house Of representatives sanction this
departure from usage, aud from proprety too, by
voting the money for the contingent fund needed
TO carry II into effect?

THE house committee on territories has re-
ported favorably on bill providing that no
territory shall hereafter form constitution,
or apply for admission as state, until it
shall BIO able to show that it contains popu-
lation equal to that required in congress.
sional district under the present national basis
of apportionment. There is no doubt that
the requirement is equitable, and no objection
can be brought forward against all reasonable
provisions designed to prevent the admission
of territories devoid of the stalwart growth
that should always preGede admission to the
sisterhood Of states; but, at the same time it
would be an evidence of craftsmanship if
congress. in addition to prescribing due
safeguards, would also rise above partisan
ship and enact some measure that would
render it certain that when, by growth of
population and wealth, territory had
attained the necessary elements Of statehood
it could be certain OF gaining
prompt admission without reference
to the probable political complexion of its
voters Dakota, for instance, has unquestion-
ably the requisite population required by the
bill in question, and far more than many
now lourishiug states had at the
time of their admission, but as it shares
in the prevailing northwestern sentiment,
and would undoubtedly be republican
state, its just claims to admission are ignored
for partisan reasons. This is wrong. New
Mexico is growing rapidly, aud will soon
DO ready for admission, with the
chances that it will have democratic ma.
jority, but we have no hesitation in saying
that no such reason should operate for q
moment to bar its admission when its repre-,
sontatiyes can come forward with the proper
credentials.
