lil'ly. Tin; resiiltins; evils arc manifold and
neornviited ; mid, prominent omont; the
reasons and giijpstions why a rentcdy
should lie applied, 1 respectfully submit the
followiner :
First. Dill'erent systems of laws for
roads, brides, scIumiIs, elections, poor
houses, nnd many otherthin-is, nreenacted
for the several counties, townships, aud
borouohs, on suhjocts which ought to be
regulated by jrciicral laws, operatino; uni
formly upon all.
Srcoml. It is impossible for the citizens,
jud-jes of the courts, or mcmlicrs of the le
al profession, to acquire or retain au nc
c urate, knowledge of the varying system of
laws in their respective districts ; aud fre
quently, on removal front one county to
another, our jrcoplc lind themselves under
almost entirely ilillerent codes.
Ihinl. Practically, the whole theory of
our constitution and overninent is subver
ted and destroyed by the present system of
local enactments. Representative govern
ment is hasedon the idea that the laws shall
bo framed by. and be the result of, the col
lective wisd.mi of the people's representa
tives. But whalare thenctual facts ? The
inixds and cllorts of the members are so
wholly absorbed by private an 1 local bill
that it is almost impossible to get a general
or public net considered or passed. The
j special and local bills are usually drawn by
the mcmuer represtqiting the locality, or try
some one from the district interested in the.
proposed law. By what is called courtesy,
it is considered a nreacli ot etiquette lor any
menilH r of the Senate or House to interfere
with or oppose a merely private-or Ux:al bill
of any oilier member. The result is, the
bii! nre passed as originally prepared,
wilhoiit cviminalion or coinw,risou of
views, often crude and ill-digested, nnd
without regard to constitutional require
ments or sound public policy. .Sotm of the
worst of these Imwly nnd badly -considered
enactments an- arrested every year by
; Executive interposition ; but in the nature
ol' tl,.; casi', the veto at liest can only be
, made a jia.lial restraint 1111011 the evil, and
! nothing can eiadicate it sliort of coustitu-
' tioual prohibiiion.
j Fourth. Special legislation is tho great
, atid impure foundation of corruption, pt i
! vate speculations, and public wrongs. It
i has become a reproach to republican gov
ernment, and is one of the most alarming
evils ol the times. Judicious amendments
to the constitution would arrest nnd destroy
I the growing evil : and it is the duty of
every patriotic citizen to co-operate in nil
. lawful measures to effect so desirable a con
' summation. In the enactment of laws n
r.ulicul change is demanded. Every bill
I 1.1-oKenle.l foe mlotitioti s.hoiil.1 lm i-i-ad. nt
least once, in lull, and the yeas and nays be
recorded on its linal passage.
Ffih. It is important that the Slate
constitution should lie made to conform to
the Constitution of the United State! ns
n nilv iiiiu ii.h .1.
SU-tli. The subject of minority represen-
tation is now much ngitated, nnd is receiv
ing a large share of consideration nmong
thoughtful and considerate men. !t cm
braces problems of .rent political impor
tance, and its manifest justice commends
it to public favor. Whilst some of the ob
jects it proposes might be obtained by leg-
islativc enactments, the general principles
: 1 1 . .1 . ' . 1 e. ...1
iiivoivcii niv so eieiiicuutrv .ami r11011.11,
that thi-y should, it atloptcd, lie incoriiora
ted into the luiidameutal law.
.Strciifi. The ineuiU'ra of the General
Assembly should bo increnscd ill number.
E i..i. There should be a fuiitlamcntal
liiiiioiiioii to the powers of corporators.
.iiii. 1 here is nl, solute necessity tor
greater security for llie public funds and
tor tin ir lu'ottcr distribution,
Tiuth. Uhu State Treasurer, Superin
tendent of Common Schools, and a Lieu-teiiaiil-Ciovernor,
llie latter to preside over
the senate, aud perform the duties nf the
Governor, in case of his absence, sickness
ur death, should ho electeed by the people.
The Attorney-General, Secretary ot Slate,
and tlie Adjutant-General should,
for obvious reasons, continue to Imj appoint
ed by the Governor.
Kmntlt. The day for holding the nn-
uiial elections could, wilh great propriety,
la! changed from the second Tuesday in
Octobcr lo the Mine day lu November, 011
which nearly all the surrounding States
now hold their. This would disa-uti -wilh
one elect imi every toiirth year, mid 1
procut invasion from other stale for the
purniiM. of interfering with our elections,

In my last letter I was compelled to
break oil' l ilt her abruptly at Port Lus-wai.
I will now relate bi icily some of the inei- ;
dents and surroundings of uitr journey to
Fort Colvillc.
Captain Sells, the government agent for .
the 5'ez 1'erces, trausporte'd us Id Iewis
ton, about tliirteen miles, tliruimh a region
abounding in wild sunllowers and itiiiige
nous wax berries, both transformed as or
naments to civilized gtirders, in which they
improve vastly In size and appearance. ;
Here the magpie, the most bcaulitul, and .
the raven, the largest ol'the American cor-
vidro, build their nests. That of the mag
pie is a curiosity for bulk and structure.
It is usually built in a hawthorue bush,
rudely constructed of sticks, and lined with
grass or any soft substance he can tlnd.
Externally it is about threo feet high and
eighteen inches or two feet in horizontal
diameter. The entrance is at the side and
I protected by us thorny surroundings as
i to ,I1!lk'-! - dillicult to " handle without

is scarcely a thoru-busli thicket without

And here let me remark that even in for the privilege of crossing a rtaie brume
this desolate wilderness, Nature has pro- ! built on tresseis. The wretched misati

varieties of the tctraonidie. or grouse. Th
largest a magiiilicenl bird exierually, but
ol bad repute for culinary purposes, lie
feeds upon tho unsavory leaves of the
grouftewort and sagebrush (wormwood;,
aud for their digestion need no gizzard,
consequently " he don't got any." We
shot oue that weighed nearly eight pounds,
and heard of those that weighed ten. Ow
ing to his size and long, pointed tail, he
more closely resembles the true pheasants
of Southern Asia than any other bird of
the grouse family. Next in order of weight
come, tho blue grou:e, the primated grouse
or prairie chicken, and the mill'

our prayers that il might change on the

On the fourth day, wi'shin ,firu,ei mi.es r.f
the Spoknu river, l'ie face of t':e coeulr
changed lot the better. Alkaii nnd i;,c--ous

we foitud wood enough for a huge file,
which enabled us to play " California,

On the fifth day our eoureo lay along the
valley of the. Colvillc river, and here wo
found (it intervals nf a few lililes the homes
of w hite men and red women and mongrel
children. As we ndvauced thee homes
became more numerous, until the wholu
rich valley was occupied with wheat-growing
tai ins. On some of these we siw soma
twenty mormon stacks of giain, with
slraw so bright ibat il was very evident no
rain had ever laden upou them. We were
now in Inlitude IS deg.
Before sunset we arrived at Fort Col
