City was a lively place' The miners generally omenbled to attend the theater and take a good look at the so called big gnn Holbrook1 Well the theater is in full blast and so is tho Many an obstacle met the gaze of tho ono was the stars and stripes suspended on tho occasion and tho tronblo of the aforesaid gun to make his old standbys believe that ho was always found on the right side at tho Capital and to explain the meaning of tho various letters of numerous tones that ho very imprudently dropped to his friends in Idaho Well to the point Is here ho is no taller but Improved mnchly was expected and sure enough he came No stands were erected perhaps on account of the report ho was coming up here in two stages Tho anvils were brought to bear nnd had the desired effect The people being heroically inclined assembled and were opened upon by one Edmondson who lectured short timo on the future programme and introducing Judge May who made the wel-como address to the returned and spoke for both sides without aulhority or color of law but to toll tho truth May was overcome on the occasion and is to some extent excusable in reply said ho had worked hard for tbe dear people in explaining with tbe aid of a map to members of Congress tbe existence of a place like Idaho -he had succeeded in this-he had got a favorable report on a slight show at a land and viewers started on a route to Biackfoot is shrewd but a poor band to make the dear people know it Tbe immaculate Frank of China tax and special appropriation notoriety followed and took especial pains in impressing upon the assembled few that ho was at all times an advocate of justice and right Just think the change after tho introduction of tho Territorial Funding Bill and tho advocacy of the especial relief hills May be continue to improve In fact the whole affair was the flatest thing ever exhibited In Idaho City and dispersed without cannons and cheerless as will fall their corrupt aims and future expectations this fall The Idaho theater is in foil blast with the favorite and much admired actress Sue Robinson Getzler at the mast-head Mrs Getzlcr knows how to please and never fails to fill the

precious metal Also the Middleton mill which is a new one after crushing forty tons of surface ore a nice little pile of over $10 to the ton was realized Other mills will soon be in operation and receive my proper attention Twelve assays were made from Ihe Fourth of July ore yielding from $126 to $785 per far beyond the expectations of nil interested The mine is on the eve of being put into

Mountaineer says of tho late election there This man's to show a little of its cuts latency was not content with voting whim men but Indians Greasers and in fact anything in the shape of a man was voted by this party that believes that this Government was jnade for white men California Indians who cannot read or understand the- English language were taken to the polls nnd made to sweur in their votes Men who howled from the stump during the canvass about negro suffrage took Indians up and voted them This is consistency This is the same party that believed a few days ago that only white men should exercise the right of suffrage We hope the question oi allowing Indians and Greasers to vote will be takeu up to the courts in order that it may be Settled for future elections It is a source of annoyance to both judges of election and to men who have no time to wait at the pollswhile these caws ore being argued in order that they may be able to vote Idahoans Returned Messrs 0 Whiting and

through the different mining camps in the Basin giving one or more of his entertainments in each i Alturas romtbe remarks of our Rocky Bar correspondent' it appears tho people of that county have suffered from the rule of a set of reckless unscrupulous officers little if any better than Ifoise county There is aa evident determination among the better disposed citizens thero to bring their official career to a dose at the next election which may Heaven grant A us always travels fast than the truth and seldom gets contradicted wherefore we find the following In tho New York Tribunes Gov Lyon of Idaho protests manfully against the abuse robbery and butchery of Indians continually in progress in the raining districts Of sixteen recently murdered at once in bis Territory he finds that but two were grown the rest being women and children all innocent of any wrong lie adds no case that I have examined have I found the 'red man' the aggressor but invariably the trouble springs from some fiendish outrage of bad white It is a great 'pity Gov Lyon has been superceded Such men are sadly needed in authority in the Territories' Brother Greeley let us pray i1 i A Word ok We sincerely advise the Commissioner of Indian affairs to look well after the accounts of Caleb Lyon with the Department lie subscribed and paid five hundred 'dollars to the fund to equip the Ada county volunteers whom he denominated and and all other opprobrious epi- thets la his letters to Washington written at the same time Now the private and publlo character of the ran forbid the idea that bo paid it out of his own pocket as the citizens did their subscriptions to the samo object No one hero believes that he did Ilepust therefore have smuggled it out' of the Indicia appropriations in his hands Whether he is sharp enough to cover the matter up remains to be seen We make the suggestion in no frivolous 1 manner or for buncombe but in real earnest If the treachery of the man In assisting here the very measures he tfas at the same time tiying to bring Into disgrace at Washington is not enough to create suspicion some friends of his perhaps can tell what would be ground for suspicion reived rates for
