IDAHO ITEMS.
WhY Dubois Beat HALEY and the
Latter Lost.

In conversation yesterday with Mr..
J.:sC. Rich wegleaned the following items
frem our neighboring Territory, Idaho.
That undoubtedly the Hon. John Hal
ley has most gloriously been waxed and
beaten by the notorious imported scrub,
Fred. st. Dubois, carpet-bagger, etc.
THIS virtually gives Idaho Territory
little or no representation in the halls
of the national Congress. 1t remained
for the "Gem of the Mountains" to
produce the most utterly worthless
delegate of the nineteenth century.
What he is valuable for 10 the people CT
Idaho or anybody else Is past compre-
hension. II there IL q man in Idaho
Territory, who wants him for a delegate
in Congress, or anv place else. that
man does not honestly say so.
HALEY butchered his friends, and
was most handsomely assassinated; his
own friends now glory in his political
slaughter. aud say that any man who
will climb the politica: ladder of Nor
monisn 10 fame, ought not to despise
the rounds that carried him up.
The impression is, in Idaho. that
.
and 'sDSvy Crockett" tactics made him
all he ever was; that he traded for
Mormon help. when be thought It
would avail him. and when he thought
the Mormons were down, and be needed
not their assistance. that he assumed
the role Of an migrate. Haley is now
RAINING around the country trying TO
dig up and find out who did not vote
for him. II he is real industrious.
upon proper inquiry he can find out
that about 3, 600 Mormons in southess-
tern Idaho didn't vote for Haley Or
Dubois either.
Honest John now thinks that about
500 Mormon votes might have been ad-
nitted in his ease as he evidently
needed them. The general impression
Is that HALEY viii try the same game
with Dubois that Ex-Governor Bennett

Ne. NED ReYLE writes his father that
Booth will play five nights in Salt Lake
next April-a decided compliment to
this place, when Kansas City and other
much larger towns are given but two
and three nights. Since the letter, how
ever, Booth has been confined to his bed
though illness, and the company has
been living idle in New York. 1t is to
be hoped the stars indisposition is
merely temporary. Mr.. Royle plays
Huguet in Rlchelieu, Tubal in Shylock,
Guildenstern in Hamlet, and the Bleed

of Twenty fourth street, may now cease.
The company intends getting as near the
