Oar City Legislators, from their manifest
neglect Of the recommendations of regular
committees, discourage them from spirited
action. There seems to be an irrepressbls
oonaict between Council and committees
Even important questions, whose legal relation
is vital to the city'S interest, arc immaturely
acted upon, without reference to the Law
Committee. The Committee on Roads and
Canals have become Indifferent from almost
discourteous treatment of their recommen-
dations.
i very large amount of the city legislation
is on propositions Of improvement, that right
fully belong to special department of tho
City Government--we mean the Board of
City Imprcvements-bu Council discusses and
debates about measures and plans, that econ
omy and good policy would dctat. should be
introduced and considered by the above ma med
Board. The City Council would do we'll to
turn over q new leaf in reference to its
treatment of the Board of City improvements
and committees. Let tho weekly session of
The Board be short and business.lke Money
would be saved by restricting most of the dis
cussions to committees.

Our western Territories.

The youth Of the West now growing up
are to be men of influence, in an influential
portion ofthe country. Across the State of
Ohio most of the travel is to pass from the At
lantic to the Pacific States. The Territories
West of us, in area exceed, n square miles,
the present organized States. Wake up, boys
wake up, laborers aud mechanics, to the pro
spectiye destiny of the new States West of the
Mississippi Look at the following figures:
Territories Their square miles Mesilla,
$4,000 Washington, $4,000; Kansas, 1885,
900; Indian, $4,000; Utah, $4,000; New
Mexico, 10000; Oregon, (now state) 227,-
900; and Nebraska, 52s,OOO. Total, 1,666,OOO.
Character is to be impressed upon these
new lands; labor of the hand and Of the
head is to make new history of new peo-
pie two or three main lines Of railroads will
soon bo crossing over boundaries Of States
now in embyro, threading their way through
tho passes Of the Rocky Mountains, bearing
the exchanges of continents.
This area Of the present States is thus re-
ported: Rhode Island, 1900; Delaware, 2,l2O;
Connecticut, 4,674; Massachusetts,, $500; New
Jersey, 1920; New Hampshire, 5000; Mary
land, 1854; Vermont, 10,2ll; South Carolina,
24,5OO; Maine, 30, 600; Indiana, 9S,8O9; Ken
tucky, 1860; Ohio, 30,96l; North Carolina,
$4,000; Tennessee, As 900; Pennsylvania, 40, =
Os5; Louisiana, 46,43l; Missouri, 47,l56; Ala
bama, 5O,722; Iowa, so ,9l4; Arkansas, 52,l98;
Florida, 5S,7S6; Wisconsin, 1924; Illinois,
55,4O5; Michigan, J6,243, Georgia, $4,000; Vir-
gnia, 61,352j Mississippi, 67,S8O; Minnesota,
14l 900; California, 1880 Texas, 23T32L
Total, l ,6O2,O1O. ..
Compare the new with the old, and it will
appear that the Territory of Kansas was well
worth the struggle to retain it tree-ita area is
$4,000 square miles greater than the whole
Now England States, New York and Now
Jersey. Her twin sister, Nebraska, has a
domain greater by $4,000 miles than all tho
non-slavcholdipg States, except California,
Oregon is nearly equal in extent to all New
England, New York, pennsylvanin, Ohio and
Indiana. New Mexico and Messilla, being
2S8,OOO square miles, have more land surface
than all Now England, New York, Pe2nsyl-
vania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois Washing
ton Territory exceeds in extent all Nsw Eng
land and New York. Every teacher, every
scholar, every farmer, every mechanic, has an
interest in the new TerIitorie,, and the new Ter
rtories will, no doubt, have, in time, incident
ally or directly, great interest in them. The
next census will silence all clamors about the
dissolution of tho Union.

The same number Of the DisPcicI

TAXATION AND popULAT1oy.-It may be- in
teresting to note the proportion which the ma.
tional expenditure bears TO population in
some OF the European States, In 1855 the
estimated population of the Austrian empire
was returned nt 39,41l 800, and the public
expenditure was Gao, ,2686l8, or an average
of Gl Os I'D per head. In 1857 tho estimated
population of Spaiu was 1G,30l ,S5l, and the
public expenditure was 4l8,03S,O01, or an
average Of Gl Is Id per head. In 1854 tho
population of Portugal was S499 ,l2l and the
public expenditure was f2,756,292, or an av-
erago of 16s per head. The population Of
Swlzerlandi in 1857 was estimated at $780,

The X. X, PARTY.

Tho leader of this party is WILLIAM
MCMILLAN CoRRY, of this city, who is COM
pstsnt to explain its principles in effective
orstory on the stamp, or in eloquent sentences
flowing from his pen. This prophet when ho
speaks Is listened to with deep interest, and
what he writes has more than an ephemera
interest. The party is quite numerous ono,
but its members are not yet crystalze3 into
q separate organization; their true ore is en-
crustsd with the earth of recognized parties.
The K. X. party leader is ahead of his age;
his adopted initials indicate that he Kicks
K-aucuses. This cratic gentleman, in return,
Is kicked By King Kaucus. Many excellent
suggestion of public interest he has recently
written, which will give the K K, party n
recognition by honest men.
Without referring to other points, we COM
mend lis visws as to the relation, at the
present time particularly, of the South and
the West:
"The South has no. yet sufficiently under
stood her relation to tho West. The West is
the proper arbter Of any quarrel between
The North and The South; she lies between ;
she has tics with both she has interests in
common. She possesses the strength TO keep
the peace, and to separate the belligerents.
sho is held by her prosperity to an attitude
of community and friendship with her neigh
b0rs, customers and cOuntrymen on all sides.
She is, therefore, TO the Southern people
worth more than an army with banners. 1t
IS the fault of the South that she has taken
dangerous counsel from her passions, and
consequently she has not perceived nor ap-
rreciated the advantage Of this relation to
the West-parts of the same great valley and
copartners in general welfare. The South
should repair the fault at once, and be met
halfway by the West"
Men of thought, of both parties and Of all
sections Of this country, will be profted by
careful sitting of the lengthy communications
Mr.. CORY has made within few days past
to the Cincinnati Commercial.
