From and alter January 1,1875, we have
to pay the postage in advance for all of our
papers that we send through the mail to sub­
scribers. We have a large number ot sub­
scribers who are one, two and some even
three vears in arrears for their paper, t o
such we will here say that we do not m the
future intend to furnish them the D emocrat
for nothing and pay their postage for that
privilege. We claim the right to publish a
fist of those who are more than one year m
arrears and the amount clue, and when we
do this we shall place such accounts in the
hands of a proper person for collection. We
are tired of, and ashamed to dun any more,
and intend to lot others do so for us, with
cost ad led. We will not pay postage for
those who never pay for tlieir paper.
TUE IDAHO FRAUD.
One of its names is Pinkham. He is II.
8. Marshal for the Territory of Idaho. Joe
Is a nice, clever gentleman, and has met
the fate of poor Tray. He has been caught
In bad company. Since the times when it
was part of the Marshal’s duties, in fact
his chief one, to keep a list of good Demo­
crats for denunciation to the government
and the Union Leagues, the Territorial
Marshals have been compelled to eke out
a precarious livelihood by speculating in
Court expenses and enforcing the provis­
ions of the “ Act of Congress for the preser­
vation of timber useful for building a
navy.” The childlike simplicity with
which the average Territorial Marshal be­
lieves Congress intends to build ships up
in Idaho is refreshing, and the care they
take to preserve the timber is simply he­
roic. The remuneration is small—but so,
In the providence of God, is the timber too.
Its middle name Is Curds. Ho is tire
Secretary of Idaho Territory. He is the
traditional Territorial Secretary. Usual ly
a precinct politician whose demands have
become simply unbearable, to bis original
owner, he is shipped off to a Territory in
the hope and with the fervent wish, that
with a proper exercise of his talents, he
will never afterwards be heard of in public
life'outside the walls of a penitentiary.—
All this is done upon the assumption that
there is no resident in the Territory mean
enough to fill the position creditably to
the government. As a general thing' the
Imported ones fill the bill. They handle
the funds drawn from the United States
Government in a manner which reflects
credit upon their education in arithmetic,
and keep their accounts in a manner that
would drive a double-entry book-keeper
insane. Two days after they are sworn in ,
(no earthly power could qualify them),
they commence aspiring to be Governor
and Secretary both, which, if ihey don’t
accomplish, is because the Governor don’t
aspire to be Delegate. The oldest inhabi­
tant never heard of such a Territorial Gov­
ernor.
Its last and surname Is Bennett. He Is
the Governor of Idaho Territory. He also
is the traditional Territorial Governor.—
No doubt a personal friend of some man
whose political sommorsaults, instead ftf
consigning him to the eternal, political
hell which should gape for political Free
Lances, has gone onejstep further and sent
him to a Republican Congress, he is re­
warded by that friend with an opportuni­
ty to emulate his career, and achieve a
-similar success in,a Territory; It would
be dignifying such a man to call him a ear-
pet-Bagger. Carpet-Baggers usually carry
a change for their dirty linen and at least
one set of principles—no matter how bad —
in their carpet-bags. But Bennett and his
class are Hat-Boxers, who never car­
ry more in ¿ho Hat-Box than a box of pa­
per collars and a blacking brush.
The Governor, Secretary ami Marshal
constitute tiie board to canvass the votes
cast for Delegate to Congress, to declare
the result, and one of the Board, the Gov­
ernor Issues the certificate. S. S. Fenn was
the Democratic candidate for Delegate and
Bennett the Republican. The three ele­
ments above described, forming an unho­
ly tnhity, frauds individually and in their
collective capacity, have shown to the peo­
ple of Idaho , and the world, how great a
fraud they could perpetrate with a limited
opportunity, what they might be able to
do under more favorable circumstances,
the author of evil only knows best.
This Board after availing themselves of
the “ best legal talent” (Republican, of
course, limited!) have made a report
which, for perspicuity, equals Dogberry’s

“ H on .s. s. Fenn” was a different person

entirely by the Board, nop counted, and
the vote not even stated in their report, on
the ground that in New Perce the “ County
