THE SEVER. weal her.that has afflicted the
northwestern portion Of the country this
winter has induced many of the residents O.
that section to take into consideration the
advisability of moving to the South. To all
such Virginia offers not only cheap, but
comfortable and wholesome homes. The
climate is delightful and ea'ubrious, the
water pure and plentiful, wood abundant,
markets good and near, and land cheaper
than that from which they may come, and
susceptible of easy improvement at little
cost. No industrious and economical man
who may makes it, will regret the change
referred to.

it is doubtful if that can be done again.
Two democrats, Messrs. Cochran, of New

DUBOIS ALL RIGHT, so FAR.

It is said that General Roberts,
District Attorney Of Alturas county,
is an aspirant for Delegate to Con
gress. If so it partly explains the
knitting done Delegate Dubois in the
late meeting of the Republican Ter
ritorial Central Committee in this city.
Boise Democrat.
The Democrat doubtless refers to
the refusal of the Committee to pub
list, an expression of its views on the
subject of annexation. This was
eminently proper, in view OF the pro-
nounced change Of opinion on the
subject which has taken place in
North Idaho during the past two
years, and which was SO plainly stated
in Boise City, few days ago, by the
Hon. Frank Ganahl. Had the com
mittee either advocated or denounced
annexation, 1t would thereby have
placed itself in ahtigonism with a
considerable proportion of the peo-
pie Of Idaho, and courted certain de
feat at the polls for the party.
Mr.. Dabois's course in Congress
has, 50 far, ELECTED general commend
alton. He has made himself felt in
various ways, and always on the right
side of the question under consider
alton; and for new member, vote.
less del rnta at that and a vO,ln,
man, he has done remarkably we'll
II he makes no serious mistake he
will be entitled to denomination,
and will be elected.
There has therefore been no "llnif-
ing" of Mr.. Dubois, although the
Democratic press seems to be doing
its level best to make the public be-
lev, that tn re has. b, with them
the wish is doubtless father to the
thought.
