The County Commissioners on Tues,
day appropriated the sum of two thous-
and dollars for the erection of a public
school building at PerryvilIe. 1t is tc
be hoped that the promptness with
which the board and particularly Mr.
Cooley who represents that section Of
the county, acted in the matter will
wipe out any local aspcrity of feeling
which the delay had begot. Perryville
has only secured what is a public neces-
sity there, and the board of commits
sioners has done the graceful thing in
recognizing the demands of that grow
ing town. Everybody ought to be happy
now, even the school children.

PERRYvIILE, August 18th, 1856.
EDITOR CECIL WHIG:-As we have
been misinformed about Mr.. Cooley S
opinion on public schools we will not re-
ply to his letter of last week farther than
to say that he has shown that he was in
favor of Onr school both III words and ac-
tions, as the decision of the board shows
from this weeks meeting.
In writing the letter IA few weeks ago,
we had one desire to harm any one. We
had no end in view aud. as we have ac-
complished that end and the commission
ers have reconSIdered an error, we are pei =
fectly satisfied. We are appropriated
$4,000 with the old school house aud
grounds. That has been the source of all
our trouble. This is all that we desire
or ask for. We do not wish to start an
argument with Mr.. Cooley or any one
else as we are to have the school house.
We are more than satisfied.
But still call oursef PATRON.

The Democratic House declined TO
accede to the Senate's proposition to
have the trade dollars redeemed, and
consequently the holders of the de

Mr.. HEpDEN who was appointed as
"a business" man to the ColleCtorship
OF New York has been turned out and
an cable" politician by the name OF
Magone put in his place. OF course
the change is purely in the interest OF
Civil Service Reform. Mr.. Magone is
shrewd lawyer, and an active polit
clan. The Presidents friends say that
IN Mr. Magone he has an appointee in
entire sympathy with the policy to
which the administration is pledged and
who will vigorously enforce it.

What Our Government Expects

1t is stated at the War and Navy De-
partments to-day that, while the fighting
branches of the government are in their
customary condition of readiness for ac-
tion, offensive or defensive, the present
difficulties with Mexico are as yet the ex-
elusive concern of the diplomatic branch
and that no movements OF troops or ves-
sells have yet been ordered with view
to possible warfare. At the State De-
partment it is said that there is still no
reason to doubt an amicable adjustment.
1t is learEe I'd that the correspondence now
in progress is expected to bring about
definite results II some kiud within d
few days aud that the direct objects
sought to be accomplished by this gov
ernment are, first, the release OF Crtting.
and, second, the reuunciation of the
claim by Mexico of extra territorial jur-

NEEDED LEGISLATION,

We need much legislation before
we of Alturas can have an even
chance for prosperity with the citizens
of other counties in Idaho.
We need an act empowering the
funding, at low rate of interest, of
our county Indebtedness.
We need law requiring the com.
'nissioners to limit their expenditures
within the cash income of the county
for the year.
We need law making it a penal
offense for the commissioners to vio-
late the preceding one.
We need a law requiring the CON-
missioners to let all contracts for sup
plies, ETC., to the lowest responsible
bidder.
We need law fixing the salary of
the District Attorney at $4,000 or
$4,000 per annum.
We need a law fixing the remun-
Grafton of the Sheriff, 10 criminal cas-
es, at $500 per annum, and requlr-
ing him to turn over to the county all
receipts in such cases beyond a GER
tain sum per annum.
We need law compelling the
prosecuting witness to give security
for costs in certain classes of criminal
cases, and requiring him to pay those
costs when the prosecution fails to Sc
cure a conviction.
We need law requiring tho coun-
ty to be divided into three or more
road districts, and the maintenance
OF the roads let by contract to the
lowest responsible bidders.
We need law remodeIing our
school laws, on more equitable ba-
Sis AT present, the taxes collected
in certain districts are unjustly ap-
portioned to other districts.
We need law requiring insurance,
mining, and all foreign companies do
ing business in Idaho, to publish all
their legal notices in the counties
wherein they transact business.
We need good registry law, to
prevent illegal voting.
We need law to encourage the
growing Of timber.
We need a law repeating the usu-
rylaws, and permitting money to be
sold for what it will bring-as is the
case in San Francisco, Chicago, New
York, London, Paris, Berlin, Frank
fort, and in fact, in all commercial
centers.
We need a law re- apportloning the
Legislature.
We need many other laws; but VIC
cannot expect to secure the passage
of any OF them unless we send to the
Legislature men of broad and en-
lightened views, men of brains, men
of character, men whose ir .rests are
SO fully identified with Alturas coun.
ty that they will not even entertain a
proposition nimical to her.
Now, who should be selected!
Look about, you who have the inter
ests of the county at heart, and see If
fit candidates can be secured.
