generally wear my heart upon my sleeve
for claws to peck at, but this morning
put on my coat. l remember the Palmer
House office perfectly. The last time was
there, a man | had never seen before-a
total stranger like yourself-came and sat
down by me and drew me into conversa-
ton. Pretty soon he asked me to drink,
and then to play billiards with him, and
before the evening was over the miserable
scoundrel tried to rob me, and had to
kick him out into the street. Now, as re.

A stranger sat in the office OF the Grand

The article which we quote from the
w. w. Journal, in relation to the pur.
pose of Governor Stevenson's visit to Lew
iston, was denied by him when here on
severl occasions, aud his refusal to have
public expression of the feeling of the
people on the subject, on the occasion OF
his speech to the people, i'll which he al
luded to the question sustained him in
these denials he had made in private con-
versa,ions with many of our citizens.
We never have considered the Governor
as double tongued on any question, and
we do not think he will do anything to
persuade the people of the Southern por.
ton OF the territory, or the delegates at
Washington. Some few individuals whc
have some selfish end to gain may have
told him thatwe have chang ed, but if so,
they were not the men who were cvel
greatly trusted by the people Of the
North upon the question, and We think
the Governor has the sagacity to see the
fact

THE GOVERNOR RETURNED.

The governor had intended visit to
Mt. Idaho and Moscow, but owing to his
severe indisposition from his cold. he de-
cided to forego his visit to these places,
aud on Monday night he came to say
to US that he would leave on the
boats at 6 o'clock in the morning for
home, and babe us good bye, and went
on board the boat and took his room and
left on the boat at the appointed hodr.
During his visit with us he was every
where treated in kiadncss aud with cour
tesy, aud We have learned of nothing
that was otherwise than harmonious and
in the best of feeling towards the Gov
ernor and as he desired no public expression
Of sentiment of the subject of annexation.
OF course none was given to him, and
unless some parties may have misrcpre-
scented to him that there had been a radi-
cal change among our people, he had no
reason to infer that We were not as firm
in our desire to 90 to Washington as ev-
er, and we do not suppose he will report
any material change of sentiment on that
question, and we believe as Haley and
Voorhees, hav. agreed upon bill for the
annexation of the four northern counties
of Idaho to Washington, and will urge
its passage at this session of congress,
many of our people have had their hopes
aud resolutions revived and quickened in
favor Of the measure. We publish in
another column a copy OF letter from
HALEY received in this city while the
Governor was here, from which it may
be inferred that HALEY intends to keep
his pledges made to the people here
when he canvassed the northern coun-
ties, and we do not see how he can 90
back on his bill without damning him
forever as representative Of the public
trust. Even should he do so at the in
stance of factious few Of his advisers,
who, having some axe to grind under
the present administration which they
think will benefit them and their friends
by now, themselves going back on their
pledges and votes. If any such exist
among us their number is small, and op.
position will be manifested, if at all, only
in stealthy manner, aud their move.
