Der of Congress from Maine.
The vote of Nebraska on the 7th for
Territorial Treasurer, was $3.50, or fifty
five more than Colorado cast on the adopt
ion Of the State constitution. Nebraska was
included in the enabling act under which
Nevada and Colorado have become States,
but her citizens have taken no steps as yet
to avail themselves of their privilege. We
believe it is competent for the President,
under the law above mentioned, to pro-
claim Colorado a State in the Union
without any further action of Congress.
Nebraska will, without doubt, be the next
| State-the thirty-eighth.
Gov. Hahn, of Louisiana, delivered an
address before the National Equal Suffrage
Association, in the Unitarian Church, in
Washington. The Governor claimed that
slavery exists in fact though not in name
in a more odious form than ever. He adj
vocated in eloquent terms the right of the
colored soldiers to vote, and said it was
not true that the celored people of the
South are more ignorant than the poor
whites. He also said that the Union men
of the South were willing to forgive and
forget the crimes of the secessionists, pro-
vided they would repent and give the col
ored man the right of suffrage. The re-
marks of the speaker were frequently APP
plauded, and at the close of the meeting a
vote of thanks was extended him.
The Albany Journal says that the OH
cial figures now being received show how
g~rievously the Democrats were mistaken
in supposing that they had received 8
trump card in Comptroller Robinson. In
stead of adding strength to the ticket
Robinson has run behind it, in every di
~rection. This is true even in Albany
where extraordinary efforts were being
made in his behalf, and where he had as
t special corps of sappers and miners,
!, portion of the clerical force in his owl
r department.
. News travels slowly in Vermont. Sen
: ator Collamer died at Woodstock Thurs
= day night, but the legislature at Montpe
4 lier, fifty miles away, did not hear ofit be
e fore the adjournment on Friday morning
o eight o'clock, and of course did not TAX
r any action on the premises. The questio
e now arises, can the Governor now appOir
: legally, Mr.. Collamar's successor, seem
that the vacancy actually commence
G while the legislature WA in session, an
Y the law provides for filing such v~acanci'
# by the Governor of the State only whe
g they occur during the recess of the legi
n lature. Governor Dillingham; has reques
il ed the Supreme Court to give a write
opinion as to whether he has the power
d fill the vacancy or not, and will not a
till the decision is given. Meanwhile Il
t. candidates for the vacant place grow n
Sc merous, and beside Representative Morri
L. the Vermont papers mention the names
Luke P. Poland, o. P. Chandler of Woo
stock, and George F. Edmunds and LIE
Underwood, of Burlington.
$ The St. Paul Press of Tuesday complai
oi of the slowness with which the returns
. the Minnesota election come in. 1t sa
~ that those which have thus far been
> ceived, show that the counties which ga
Republican majorities last year are RePr
= lican still, but generally by smaller maj
tiles. Those which were Democratic
" 1864 were quite as much so at the last ell
Us ton. The Republican counties yet hea
en- from give Marshall about 1890 MAORI
or By this showing, therefore, Marshall
e- l,449 ahead of Rice. Two counties yet
ne hear from gave Mcclellan twelve major
ii last year, while eight counties ga
US Lincoln 5000 majority. If this is
duced in the same ratio as the other
publican counties have reduced their n
%jorities, they will add about 1000 to NJ
shaITs column, while the two Democra
counties will help Rice to fifteen or tive
ry ty votes.
