TERRITORIAL LIBRARY.

The following is the report of the House committee on Library, etc;
 The committee to whom was referred the report of the Territorial Librarian, having had the same under consideration, beg leave to report:
 That they find the Territorial library in a hour;shin; condition, with many rare and useful books therein, and that great credit is due those having the charge and management of the same, for the energy displayed, and taste manifested in the selection of the books.
 Your committee would recommend that the Librarian bc authorized to procure a room suitable for the convenient and safe keeping of the library, the one now in use for that purpose being in the opinion of your committee wholly inadequate, the expense of said room not to exceed two hundred and iif- ty dollars per year.
 As the office of Regent for the First Judi cial District is now vacant by the reason of tine decease of lion. G. w Hopkins, your committee would suggest the election, at an early day, of new Rogcn; In fill the yacan cy.
 As regards Territorial buildings and grounds, the committee find them in good condition, and the title clear and without contest from any persons to this time.

With the disappearance of the old line should also disappear the old classification of states into l" Eastern States, "Middle States," !" !"

 Cnder this classification the States of the Republic will be ranged under the heads of " Atlantic States,n "Mddle States and "Pacihc States the centre of gravity and seat of empire being in classification two, mid way between the oceans, comprising more than three .ffths of the nations area, and destined to contain n large preponderance of the national population; but its seaports will be in the Atlantic and Pacific States, for the commercial movement is east and west acrOss the continent cf America and around the world.

OUR MINERS SPEAK.

Arizona has added hcF protest 10 that of all thc mining States and Territories, against the sale uf the mineral lands The miners of Prescott and vicinity have held two meet ngs, and adopted the preamble and rcsolu- tions which appear in the proceedings else where printed. There was but one opinion, so far ~ expressed, and that decidedly ad- verse To inc bill of Senator sherman, and to all bills proposing to dispose of the mineral lands. Our miners, in common with all in the Rocky Mountains and on the Pacific slope, see nothing hut confusion and injustice as the results Of such blls as have been pre- sentcd in Congress to this time. They are not willing to sacrifice their interests to secure which they have encountered risks and en- dured hardships such as are unknown in the east They believe the revenue of which the government is in need, aud to which it Is entitled and which they would not with hold, Is more likely to be secured by an ad- herence to the present policy than by the adoption of any other. They do not forget that the lodes are the common property of the American people, but they think that the interest of all will be best subserved by their remaining in the hands of those who have discovered and are competent and anx- ious to develop them.
 We must believe that Congress, in view of the unanimity of sentiment throughout the mineral regions, will not at present favor the passage of any bill for the sale of the mines We have great faith in the influence of Speak CT Coliax and Mr. Ashley, chairman of th, House committee on Territories, which will we learn, be cast against any alteration o the time-honored policy of the government These gentlemen have by actual observation ascertained the marked injustice that sucl bills as those proposed in Congress woul' work, and it were we'll if Mr. Sherman an, his sympathizers had enjoyed the benefit o such observation before iHtFoia ing measure fraught with evil, and calculated to defea the end aimed at. They arc, to say tn least, foolish and impnldent statesmen wh act without a knowledge of what they ar doing.
 It would be deemed highly pre-, unptuou if we of the west undertook to force legisla tion regarding eastern matters of which W were ignorant, and it strikes us as equall out of the place for eastern men, who hay not been here, and who have no personal in terest here, to take the lead in urging legis lation upon the greatest and dearest interes of the west
