PROM BOISE CITY.


Ed. TELLER;---Thc Council has had
little of excitement this to engage atten-
ton this week. Several bills have been
introducedrclatiye to changing attachment
laws and one or two in relation to road
laws, but 50 many different steps have to
be taken before they come before the
Council in shape to take intelligent ac-
zion, that but little progress has been
made. The fight over unseating the
anti Mormon councilmen from Oneida
was short and CT little intereat. Hart,
Of Bear Lake straight out Mormon,
introduced a resolution TO the effect that
there were rumors Of fraud in the sitting
members elected in Oneida, and asking
for an investigation, bat as he could pro-
3uce nothing outside of hearsay evidence
and even didn't undertake to introduce
any showing which could be con
sidered an excuse for hook to hang a
long and tedious investigation upon, the
Council postponed the matter indefinitely
which really means that it is the last
that will be heard of the matter. The
Bill to remove the county seat of Shosho-
ne county passed the council to-day ;
Representative King Gays that there is a
good show for its going through the
House without difficulty.
Society is very dull this winter, com
pared with past seasons. The good look
ing girls are either all married or en-
gagged; the military seem to be under a
cloud, and the only live men are the Gov
ernor and Secretary. The dinner given
by the Governor to the Council last
night was very elegant and agreeable
affair. 1t is rare to find host so capa-
bic of making his guests feel at ease and
that exhibits such ready taste in turning
the drift of conversation into channels
in which all are interested. The Coun.
Gil are slow in getting acquainted with
each other, and are Intending to stand
upon their dignity, but his excellency
provided in a royal way to thaw out Tho
distinguished (?) twelve and even thu
most silent found themselves in the pos
session of tongue that hung in the mid
die and worked both ways at once
The dinner dinner consisted Of SIX course
from soup to CANCELS food and blacl
coffee and occupied about four hours slit
ing. For once in his life, the membeI
from Ada and Washington forgot to OBJ
rect on the ground that grub costs mon
ey, aud also neglected to make motor
to amend the Governors vcnire, by pro
posing to contribute the champagne cork
to the poor of Boise.
The fun of the Council consists mostl
| in daily skirmishes between Brearly an
Galloway; Brearly is the wit and wag o
the chamber and delights to stir Gallo
way up at overy opportunity-sarcasti
and cutting, he makes the "watch do
Of the treasury sometimes wish tn
election had turned out the other way S
far as Brearley is concerned.
The memorial for congress relative t
annexation will soon be introduce,
There seems TO be gradual increasin
feeling in its favo, and although Gall,
way has given notice that he shall oppos
any segregation, the northern delegate
believe that the domination Of tn
"Boise Ring" in territorial politics is
more, and that the memorial will pa
when it comes up. The attention of Il
Council has been turned to the agit
: ton of the Nevada State tribulations, al
' it will be strong argument IN favor
segregation.
