Cl)ugh SAID: Inc hOQr Tor the nj
teenth session of The Idaho Legislature
having expired declare /, to be termi-
mated" He left the room followed by
Perkins, Campbell aud Brigham, the
minority. Campbell, however. soon
returned and took his seat.
Learning of these things messages
soon began to arrive from Governor
Stevenson by his private secretary.
LEGISLATION WAS RESUMED
and bills of an important character
which had been left after the abdication
of Burkhart and Clough we're passed :
among the rest the bill dividing Alturas
County and creating the counties of
Logan and Elmore. At o'clock the
Governor signed this bill, when Wild
shout went up from the house that
might have been heard blocks away
This was reported in the Council where
it was announced by the clerk Of the
house. During the night ref eshments
were brought in by various parties. of
which many ladies partook. Some of
these stayed until daylight, apr arently
more interested than the men.
The Governor had sent in the names
general, Hon. Charles Himrod for
treasurer and Wickersham, for comp
troler. With the exception of Wicker
shan, the council had refused to con-
firm, but now they were confirmed as
well as the directors of the insane asy-
lum and regents of the Territorial uni
verslty at Moscow. At 5 O'Clock
THE GovEREoa CAME
into the Chamber of the Assembly.
The members rose to their feet, cheered
and threw their hats in the air and It
was a long time before order IVES
restored. The "toughs" of the body
to whom we have formerly had occasion
to allude. were about all among the
seceders.
The whole of this affair was guided
by unseen hands who had posted
dents and law governing proceedings
strange if a minority of a representa-.
tive assembly or its presiding officer
could be possessed of the ability to
nullify the will of the people by the
exercise of arbitrary power.
Ats. 45 both houses had adjourned,
and a better feeling body of men we
have never seen in Idaho. The people
in the streets and those from other
points in the Territory seemed to enter
tain
A VERY GREAT SYMPATHY
for the divisionists. Before the tel
egraph Office was opened. there was q
tarong running up and down stairs
and at the hour of a. m. the operator
was kept busy sending dispatches.
Answers were in many cases received,
and even on Wood River news came
that bands were playing, anvils being
fred and bunting floating. Rocky Bar
and Mountain Home will have their
demonstrations. as we'll as Bellevue.
Many think the conduct of this Legis.
lature will have great effect upon the
political affairs of the Territory. The
majority were held in check by minor
ity so that nothing could be done for
the benefit of the people, but all inter
ests of the Territory seemed to be
ignored for the benefit of the victualers
and whisky shops of HALEY.
There is talk of litigation in connec-
ton with this matter.
THE PUBLIC RECORDS
of the Territory are plain and explicit
and speak for themselves without the
aid of parale testimony. They show
what was done on each day of the ses-
sion and, as Daniel Webster said of the
monument at Bunker Hill, There is it
and there it will remain forever No
fears are entertained as to the results of
suit. Everything that has transpired
was the result of the prompting of the
best legal authority in Icaho.
