Senate on the 12th inst., says, '‘ this bill came up for a third reading, in the Senate on the 12th inst., and a vote being taken, only two Senators voted in favor—Simon Cameron, o f Pennsylvania, and J. W. Flanegan , of ■ Texas; while 26 Senators voted against al lowing the bill to be read a third time.— This, o f course, defeats the bill beyond possible ressurrection in this Congress.— W e would naturally expect to see Mitchell and Kelly, o f Oregon, voting in favor o f a third reading, as they have both earnestly supported the bill from the first, and must have known the objection to a third read ing was a final defeat of the measure. The fate o f the bill, however, has been well known for some time, and it is altogether probable the third reading was reached in their absence, as only 28 Senators voted.— The bill only authorized the guarantee of a certain amount o f interest on the com pany’s bonds, for twenty years, amount ing to less than the government has here tofore paid for carrying the LT. S. mail over this route. In consideration o f the payment o f this interest, the company would transport the mails, U. S. troops and army supplies, free of charge forever. The proposition on the part o f the compa ny , was a long way in favor o f the govern ment, but nevertheless it had attached to it the name o f a subsidy, which was enough in these times to kill the measure. The government has been so shamefully cheated in these subsidy measures, and the developments are so astounding, it is considered dangerous to consider the fair est propositions that can be madp. W hile the Sacramento Union, Bulletin, and oth er leading papers in California, were ex posing the Credit Mobiller swindles o f the- Union and Central Pacific Railroads, they were urging the Pacific mail subsidy which finally carried, and now turns out to have been a corruption fund of gigantic propor tions. The evidence shows that 8,000,000, or one-fifth of the whole subsidy, was used to secure the influence o f lobbyists and buy members o f Congress to secure the passage o f the bill. Such expositions are enough to load down anything that has a subsidy look, and we are neft surprised that the P. D. & S. L . measure should fail at this particular tim e, although, in itself, it was meritorious, and had the Govern ment adopted the plan o f aiding railroads and mail ships after the manner proposed in this bill, and insisted upon the letter of the contract, public improvements could be aided with safety by the general Gov ernment. The defeat o f this bill ought by no means to discourage the enterprise. The P . D. & S. L. railroad must and can be built. * * * It must be confessed that the rail fever at this time is at a low ebb, but this condition o f things will not last long. Capitalists have looked after subsi dies and when such hopes are com pletely exhausted, they will let their money loose on a more legitimate basis. Wherever railroad lines can be made to pay, the in vestment will be sought and the roads built. A railroad from the Union Pacific through this great valley, and either down the Columbia, or over to the Sound from W alla W alla, is one o f the fixed facts which must com e to pass in the near fu ture. But it is altogether probable that a road will first be built to the Central Paci fic, connecting us more directly with San Francisco, the great metropolis o f this coast. We have great faith in the build ing of this latter road, and it is probable that the defeat of the Portland, Dalles and Salt Lake subsidy bill will hasten the building o f the road South; should this be the case we will have no occasion to mourn over the defeat o f this bill.” It is surprising to us to hear that both o f our Senators were absent when final ac tion was to be taken on a measure o f so much importance to their constituents, and we can hardly believe the statement, but if such shall be lound to be the fact, they will be required to render an account o f the matter to the people. We forbear to m ake any remarks on the subject until we know all the facts. We agree with the Statesman that the road will and must be built. ---------------------------------- — -------------------------------- — -- M innesota S enatoe .— The indications are « that Lochren, Democrat, will be elected United States Senator, on an Independent platform, in place of Ramsey, Badical.

The Democrats and Independents have al ready-elected three or four Senators from States where they had not hoped to do so. The estimates heretofore made gave the Re publicans twelve majority, counting them' Michigan, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Wis consin. Three o f the above States have al ready elected Democrats or Independents and now Minnesota is about to follow suit, thus cutting the Republican majority down to four.

P ost O f f ic e T r a n s p o r t a t io n . — We have found so much to complain of in the United States Post Office law which went into effect with the New Year, that we are glad to be able to praise one of its provisions. It certainly does give increased con venience in the way of transporting goods, and teaches the Express Com panies, which have become perhaps a little arrogant and purse-proud, that they must behave themselves, since Uncle Sam has himself gone into the express business in our city that people no longer come to town to “ do shopping;” but the hotel men are so rich, from keeping up war prices, in days of peace, that they will not mind the loss. Nowadays, a person being away from first class stores, avails himself or herself of the mail to bay and get home retail purchases of almost any kind. Not that the Post Office yet transports cooking stoves and diDing tables, to our country cousins; but, in lighter articles it is doing wonders. Clothing and dry goods, jewelry and books, and things of that sort, go through the mails already in immense quan tities. Enterprising retailers send out circulars, receive back orders, and dispatch the goods—all through the Post Office. This is a use of the public post never contemplated by former generotions; and it is like ly to prove a popular one. In connection with this subject it may bo information to many of our readers when we state that packages ofmerchandise weighing four pounds or less, can be sent through the mails at one cent for every two ounces, or eight cents per pound. If the pack» age contains any writing of any kind it lays the sender liable to a heavy fine. The cost for sending is the same all over. the United States— costing as much from Boise City, to Baker City, as it does from New Yrork to Baker City. Packages go, at present very safe through the mails, and we are led to believe our people are beginning to patronize the mails largely in this way by the amount and number of packages of of the kind we see passing through it. —John Early of Boise City, writing from Lexington, Ky., to the Boise Statesman says, “ here with I send you a list of horses and cattle I have purchased on my recent trip to Kentucky.

E very Tbe Fort Wayne Sentinel his been interviewing a gentleman froii Colo rado in regard to the cold 'leather there, and the following incident by Lone Bill the Colorado gentleman mentioned, is the result: One night Scarred Pete, tne big gest man and best euchre player in Helena, was beatin’ all the bofs at the game and gitting away with their stamps like lightnin’. It ud come up awful cold that afterioon. Thar warn’t no thermometer, aid we couldn’t tell how low she’d got. But tho’ we’d a red hot fire in the stove, and all sot round her, our breaths friz right up. and we had to knock off the icicles from our mouths every few minutes. The handle on the ace of clubs cracked and fell off, and no one would tech a spade, cos ’twas so cold. Well, Scarred Pete held two bowers an’ three kings. Long Jim had three aces, a queen and the little joker. Scarred Pete put down his-right. Long Jim followed with his joker. Scarred Pete took an ace with the left. Long Jim gobbled up two of his kings with two aces. Pete swore no man ever before’d played it so low on him and he’d be eternally catawauled if Jim hadn’t stocked the keerds. There was just the prettiest little row ye’ever sawn. Pete got Jim down, and afore a min ute their breaths had friz tightr’n a vice. Tbe boys saw it was all up with both on ’em if they weren’t got free. You see there wasnt no water nor nothing to thaw ’em out’n that so they pulled Jim and Pete ’long- side the stuv. ’Twant’ no use. They friz so tight that hot pitch wouldn’t meltem. We had to let em lie thar all that night. You see everything was friz up; no ax or nothin’ to chop the ice off. Next day they stayed thar, an’ next night. Yes, stranger for three days and nights Jim and Pete were friz together. They stuck cioser’n brothers, now you may bet your bottom dollar. The fourth day it began to grow a little warmer, and by night the weather was tol’able. We all sot roun’ playin’ keerds, an’ me an’ Ugly Sam had just begun to get in some big licks—me’n Sam was pards. you know. All of a suddink like, we heard an awful crash. I looked around, ’an condemn my picter ef them two ’Ya hoos on the floor hadn’t thawed out. Yes, sir, and thar they were a claw- in and punebin and gouugin just where they’d left off afore they’d friz together. By that time we’d all warmed up it, and there was a neat little fuss. Well stranger, an’ I ’m a tellin’ you fax, knives was used purty lively. But durne’d ef ’twasnt’ so cold no one could draw blood. After, an hour or so the fun let up. Jim and Pete got onto their feet, lookin’ as fresh as roses. Hadn’t made no more impression on them» selves than a flea buttin’ ’gainst a barn door. ' Well, that party broke up ’ bout morning. We didn’t think anything of it till a day or two after. Then she began to thaw, an’ stranger there was the awfullest time you ev er heel’d on. Them as got cut in little muss in the store begun to bleed like stuck hogs. Fact. I bled more’n a gallon, an, thought I ’d have to hand in my checks. But all but one feller got fixed up and did pret ty well. Scarred Pete and Long Jim was pretty well tuckered out though. You see when she got warm why we began to sort ’o thaw out, and the jabs and cuts we got that night began to tell on us, and the bigger the cut the more we bled. Now, stranger, that was only one of the effects of that little cold snap, ’twasnt nothin’ to what happened af terward! Here Lone Bill began to move un easily about* Noticing that we watched him rather curiously, he remarked: “ You see, soon as I get a trifle warm I feel uneasy like and smart, an’ have to light out into the air. This climate don’t suit ’zactly, an’ I ’m goin’ to strike for old Mon- tany again. I cum down hyar in In- jiany to see ’bout some people, sort of relatives like. I tried to get ’em to get out o’ this, and pull up stakes and go where a man can breath easy.” Saying this, Lone Bill spat with amazing accuracy at a nail head on the wall, and, wiping his mouth with the coat tail of his linen duster turned his melancholy face and No. 14 boots toward the door. Halting with his brawny hand pn the door knob, he hesitatingly said: If you should print anything I ’ve sed, an’ ef you’ve got room just say that Lone Bill will swar to anything he’s said. At home I ’m sometimes known as the catamount, and no man don’t call me a liar twict. We hastened to assure him that we supposed him to be truth embodied and that any man who could dispute his word was no better man than he should be, and a borsethief into the bargain.
