The Combinations.

A crowd s1rged about the closed doors
of the council chamber during the whole
of the evening. During the early hours
that body was almost continuously in exc
cutive session. Curiosity was intensely
strained as to the result and the passing
about Of the ballot box was a never end
ing source of speculation. Interest mainly
conferred in the treasurership at first. 1t
soon became known that the name of
Luke Voorhees, had been sent in for con
firmation and the %liveliest interest pre-
vailed as to the result. The council was
in executive session for a long time con-
sidering this and several other nomina-
tons, but soon after the doors were again
thrown open it became known without
anybody apparently saying anything that
Mr.. Luke Voorhees, had been confirmed.
Later it was learned that the following
further combinations had been made:

sion, j. L. Osborn, Rawlins.
Territorial engineer, Elwood Mead OF
Colorado.

AT the session of the city council last
evening Mr.. Holiday, in behalf of his
fellow members, presented President
Rincr with a beautiful gavel. In.dorng
so he spoke Of the fair n in which
Mr.. Riner had presided during the ses-
sion and his unfailing courtesy to all
members. Mr.. Riner responded in beft-
ting terms, and said he could well appre-
ciate a compliment coming from such a
body of men as composed the council.
The gavel is a most beautiful specimen Of
workmanship, and is said to be the
handsomest ever brought to the territory.

A MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
The LIfeless Body of Mrs. st. CIaII
EOund.

Early yesterday afternoon a lady living
on Twenty-third street, between Themes
and O'Neil, had occasion to go into the
residence of Mrs. St. Clair. who lived
close by, and was Mortified to find the
lifeless body Of Mrs. st. Clair partly
lying or reclining in one corner of the
room. An alarm was spread and Coroner
Chaffin at once sent for. On his arrival a
jury was summoned, which proceeded to
the residence Ia small house owned by
Culver 4 Arnold( where the remains were
viewed, after which an adjournment was
taken until 10 o'clock this morning, at
which time the jury will assemble at the
city hall for the purpose of investigating
what now appears to be something of a
mystery.
Mrs. st. Clair has been living at this
place alone for some time, and but little
appears to be known regarding her. She
has no folks in Cheyenne, but a son of
the deceased lady is in Laramie City In
der circumstances that hardly admit of
his coming to Cheyenne at present. Yes
terday the neighbor referred to noticed
That Mrs. st. Clair did not make her APP
pcarancc around her home as usual. but
thought nothing of it until the discovery
was made. There appears to be some
evidence that her death was the result of
a crime Of some sort. and in support of
this theory it has been found that several
articles are missing from the house and
among them some silver cups, spoons.
etc. On the other hand, it is known that
Mrs. st. Clair suffered from consumption,
and this may account for her sudden
death.
A thorough investigation will be held
to-day.

bills, and the enrolled acts were transmits
ted to his excellency. The former pro-
vides that the governor shall designate a
day to be known as Arbor Day, to be
observed by the economic planting of
trees. Arbor day will be a legal holiday.
The Sunday law is a very stringent
measure 1t closes saloons, cigar stores,
barber shops and all mercantile establish
lnents. A clause added in the house
prohibits the breaking of the Sabbath by
farmers and ranchmen.

Grover station, t~hirty-fve miles below

garding the accident could not be OBJ

purposely or accidentally fell upon the
track and was run over before there was
time to stop tho train.

THE TREASURER BILL.-As noticed
in our last paper. leave has beea
granted in the House Of Delegates for
the introduction Of bill which pro-
vi1es. among other things. for the ap-
poiniment or election Of a Treasurer
for 81. Marys county whose duty it
Ehall he TO collect all taxes and pay
all claims against the county. The
bill also provides for the floating of
bonds aud che placing Of the finances
OF the county upon a cash basis.
In our present article we will conhne
ourselves to a discussion of the pro-
position first stated. We trust that it
may not become law because. We be-
lieve, it smacks too much Of centrali-
zation or monopoly. The bond at
tached to the office would be 30 large
that no poor mau could give it and
the position would OF necessity fall to
the lot IF a moneyed man. There is
much more truth than poetry in the
homely saying-"them as has, gifts
and the position of treasurer would
furnish q golden chance for a specu-
lator provided. of course, one could
obtain the place.
We have not space in our present
paper to amplify upon the Opportuui-
ties that would be afforded, by the
passage Of such a bill, to a money
lending, treasurer. Our people are
given to borrowing, and enough of
them are already tenants in their
fathers homes without our legislators
aiFording them an opportunity to get
in deeper. Many of our readers have
no doubt had experience and know
without our going into details how
much trouble and expense a tax-bill
sometime entails.
Under our present system there Is
distribution of power. Under the
proposed change the tax collectors
power would he centred in one man.
The principle of the thing is un.dem-
ocratic.
Throughout all the Union the peo-
pie are murmurins at laws favoring
immense accumulations in the hands
of money-princes and the present is
no time for the passage OF acts even
remotely calculated to excite or array
the POOR man against the rich.
As is aptly stated by correspon-
dent, sister county has not found the
treasurer system any Codsend but
rather disadvantage. What right
have We TO suppose that St. Mary 5
would fare differently? For our
selves, We greatly prefer to
BEAR the ills We have
Than fly g. Others that we know not Of"

The District Republican Convention
for the ssleefaon e delegates 10 the
National Ccnvenlion il Chicago. as
sembIed IN WIZARDS Hall. on Tuesday
last. Az there were cOntesting dele
cations, and as large majority OF
those present were negroes, the live
lest kind Of a time ensued. Not
withstanding the efforts Of Frederick
Douglass, and other prominent color
ed men present, who eounselled har-
mORy and order, ths convention re-
solved itself into a mob, in which each
Of the rival-factions contended fiercely
for the possession Of the stage. The
services Of the police were finally re-
quired to prevent further disorder and
the hall was cleared. 1t will be re-
membered that four years ago just
such a disturbance followed the
attempt made by the colored people
to select delegates to thu National
Convention. As the people Of Wash
! ington have no voice in the delibera-
tions of the convention, the idea of
selecting delegates and sending them
to Chicago is to say the least amusing.
Representative Waite. Of Indiana
is to be unseated on the petition of
his opponent at the last election, ex.
Representative Lowry. The Commit
tee on Elections of the House report
that White, who is Republican,
/ polled more votes than his opponent;
but as it appears that although he has
resided in America since before the
war, he has never been naturalized,
and as the Constitution of the United
States declares that a man must have
been a citizen of the United States for
at least seven years before being eligi-
BILE for election to Congress, he cannot
hold the Office. The election will
therefore be declared void and the
seat vacant. In a case OF this kind,
in which the man who received the
greatest number of votes is ousted it
is not customary to give the election
to the candidate who stood second,
and hence Mr.. Lowry will gain moth
ing by the success Of hisefforts to unseat
Mr.. White. The election will simply
be declared void and a new one will
be ordered. Although most of the
legislation during the past week has
not been of general public interest,
still the Committees having charge of
the several appropriation bills have
been making rapid progress; and it is
expected that the General Deficiency
Bill will be reported to the House
during the coming week.
! One who has visited the Capitol
during he time that Congress i in
session would suppose that a lady
could walk through the building with
out danger Of molestation, and yet on
Wednesday last lady while passing
through one OF the corridors OF the
building was improperly addressed by
an elderly man, and she only escaped
from her tormentor TO fall into the
hands OF another. The Capitol is the
resort Of a class OF loAfers, many Of
whom are known to the police, who
should exercise their authority in
keeping them out Of the builiing.
