Colorado.

COLORADO, the bill for whose admission as a
State has now passed both Houses, and only
awaits the Presidents signature to bee ,me
law, was originally carved out of the Terrific
ries of Kansas, Utah, and New Mexico. Ten
years ago there was not white man residing
within its borders. In the summer of 1858,
small party of explorers, attracted by the
rumors long prevalent among the Indians of
the existence OF gold somewhere about the
head-waters of the Kansas, started out from
Lawrence on tour of discovery. They ira
yelled as far west as Pixies Peak, which a
number Of them-a woman among the rest
ascended. Thy exp ored the country pretty
thoroughly, going north until they reached
Cherry creek, near the present site of the city
OF Denver. There they found gold in the sands
of Cherry creek, and as they thought in pay
ing quantities.
Members of the company returning to
Kansas brought back specimens of the gold,
and published the discovery. This was late
in the fall of 1858, and was the first the out
side world knew of the existence of gold in
Colorado. The newly discovered region was
then known under the general cognomen of
Pixies Peak or the Pixies Peak country A
very large immigration rushed to Colorado in
the following spring, the most of the immi-
grants Immediately returning in disgust.
Indeed, the discoveries of gold which up to
this time had been made were not of
character to warrant the excitement that had
been aroused. The diggings about Cherry
creek were very limited in extent, and not at
all rich. Still the immigration resulted in
good, for thousands Of the newcomers dis
persed over the country prospecting, and
soon in the mountains west of Denver dis
covered those rich and extensive deposits of
gold-bearing quartz which have since made
Colorado so famous.
The development of Colorado has been re-
tarded, partly by the war, which diminished
emigration and retarded the flow of capital,
partly by difficulties encountered in the re-
duction of its ores, and still more by the dis
coveries of gold in Montana and Idaho. Its
present population is probably not far from
100000. Recently more successful methods
of reducing its ores, and saving the gold, have
been introduced, and more promising future
seems opening before it. Denver, its chief
city, has population of about 10000, and is
distant from Philadelphia by the most direct
route 1882 miles.

The Last New York Forgery.

FoRGERIEs and like crimes are getting to
be so numerous among US that they scarcely
excite public attention. If some prominent
stock operator or bank officer steals or en-
bezzles several hundred thousand dollars,
the particulars of the affair are read in the
newspapers with little more concern than is
caused by a big fire or steamboat explosion.
Beyond some such exclamation as "Oh, oh p
"My eyesp "What a great rascal!" or, by
way of admiring eulogy of the smartness
that went in for great sum instead of
little one-"A fellow might as well be hanged
for sheep as a lamb" the general mass of
the community think little and say less about
the last grand swindle.
1t is only few months ago that young
man, a son of one of the largest bankers in
New York and member in the firm OF which
his father was the head committed forgeries
involving millions of money. He seems to
have been so Indifferent about the mat
ter as respects his own responsibility,
either to the persons he had wronged
or to the law he had violated, that
he never left the city, but was taken on the
public street few days after the discovery of
his crime, and bore himself throughout all the
subsequent proceedings in his case before the
Court with an immoVable sang .fi'otd that was
perfectly marvellous. His conduct in that
regard can be accounted for on no other
theory than that dishonesty in financial ope-
rations in New York had grown to be too
common for special wonder, and also, per-
haps, a fancy that the great wealth and high
business position of his father might possibly
screen the forger from the social and legal
consequences Of his enormous frauds. Nor
was young KETCHUM much out in his calcu-

statement:-'We are informed OF a singular case
OF Change OF color that l. now going on in the
person OF black man living in Culpeper county,

teen years, and describes him to have been at

EQUITY the Best Policy.

IT should not be forgotten that, in our en-
deavOrs to have the late Rebel States recon-
structed upon the basis of Justice and essen
tial republicanism, we are laboring for the
best interests of all the people of those States.
The lasting welfare of the late shareholders
and Rebels themselves will be best consulted
by the triumph of equity. They do not see it
so, perhaps, yet that is no reason why equity
should not be enforced by the nation for the
common good.
The oligarChic class at the South cannot
be trusted with even its own best interests.
1t is short-sighted and infatuated. To crafty
its pride and arrogance it would, if left to
itself, bring ruin upon its own head. The
Rebellion is proof of this. No step could
have been more suicidal for the South yet the
ruling class plunged into it reckless of results
So, too, with regard to the question of labor
at the South, upon which its very life as a
community depends, the ruling class is
acting with its accustomed faulty. Instead
of seeking to make the blacks, who form the
great mass of the laboring population, con-
tented, and attaching them to the soil, they
are doing everything possible to oppress and
degrade them. Some are even 80 demented
a. to wish to drive them out of the country
altogether. II left to themselves, the late
shareholders would forever ruin the material
interests OF the South.
Again, everybody can see that it is for the
interest OF the South to secure as great an in
1ux as possible of Northern emigration and
noTNitaI Ritt iDotaad nf On 10
this desirable end, the ruling class is doing
everything it can to create such a state of So
ciety and public sentiment that no Northern
man will feel safe in living there, or in sending
a dollar Of money there for investment. Even
their newspapers are becoming filed again
with their old TRADES of abuse concerning the
" Yankees" and are directly melting the igno-
rant rabble to their former deeds OF violence
and lawlessness. Upon every great question
which involves the future welfare and pro-
gress OF the South, her ruling classes are ex-
hibiting degree Of folly painful to contem-
plate.
1t is quite evident that the measure Of our
action towards these people should be, not
their own querulous demands, not their preiu-
diced likes or dislikes, 6ut our owR sense of
Justice and right. We have the power, and
the moral and political right to use it, and we
ought to use it for the highest good Of the
whole people. If these Rebels, who have so
lately laid down the arms with which thew
sought to overthrow the Government, are
dissatisfied with our actions, let them be dis
satisfied. Their opinion, in view of their late
action, Is OF but little consequence. It is
vastly more important that equity and the
public good should be secured.

well to talk, but we have too often heard
that
"a man may smile and smile and be a villain"
His whole course is characterized by the
grossest violation of principle; the people
have found him out, and he may we'll cry
with "Cassio -
10, have lost my reputation
have lost the immortal part of mysel and
what remains Is bestal."
He calls 1t bubble, so his reputation was
one got without merit, but not less without de-
serving. His imbecility will not even allow
him to make out consistent case for him
SELL
He says, in one part that it was because
STOCKTON was illegally rejected from the
Senate that he refused to go into joint con-
vention; and in another, not a dozen lines
below, he declares that Il was ready to elect
any other man." What puerile and palpable
inconsistency is herein shownl
JAMES HI. sCovEL thought taat with his
puny arm he could stop the advancement of
the best of the Republicans in New Jersey.
He will soon find his mistake. We are told
of an Irishman who, once visiting the Alps,
was shown the spot where the Danube origi-
mated. 1t was there a tiny stream. "Why,"
exclaimed the son of Erin, "if Jam me hat
in there l shall shut 'em of from all water at
Vienna" Such has been SCovEL's idea but
despite his cl ildish yet treacherous effor', the
great, broad, deep stream of Union will ever
flow in New Jersey, and despite all opposition
gain its ends, subduing treason in the oppo-
sit.on, and crushing its psrjured friends.

EAST TENNEssEE.-The movement for
erecting the new State of East Tennessee is
being vigorously pressed The Knoxville
Convention has adopted, with almost entire
unaDimity, an address to the Legislature Of
the State favoring division. East Tennes-
see is emphatically loyal, wnile the western
part of the State is quite as STRONGLY disloyal.
A bitter state of feeling exists between the
two sections, and the movement for division
is very popular among the loyal people.
Should the consent of the Legislature be OBJ
tained to the proposed erection of the new
State, the matter will then come before Con-
gress for its approval or rejection.

A CoUNTERFElTER was lately convicted
on the testimony of a colored witness in the
United States District Court at Newbern,
North Carolina. Under the old conservative
regime this criminal would have escaped, as
the testimony of colored person could not
be received. This was a good arrangement
for criminals, but bad one for Justice.

The Presidents Protest.

President johnson has signed the joint reso-
luton adopted by Congress admitting the Ten
nessec Senators and Representatives, but sent
IN message protesting against the principles
asserted in the paper. Earnestly desiring to re-
move every cause of further delay, whether real
or imaginary, on the part of Congress to the
admission of the loyal Senators and Represen-
tatives from Tennessee, notwithstanding the
anomalous character of the proceeding, he af-
fixes his signature to the resolution. At the
same time his approval is not to be construed
as an acknowledgement that Congress has the
right to pass laws preliminary to the admission
of Representatives from any of the States, nor
is it to be considered as committing him to all the
statements of the preamble, some of which are
without foundation. Among them,. he states
there is reason to believe that the Tennessee
Legislature has not yet ratified the late amend
ment passed by Congress. ~. z4s
Part Of the message was greeted with derisiye
laughter by the Radicals and with applause by
the Democrats. Subsequently the Committee
on Elections reported favorably on the creden-
tials of the Tennessee members and, on invita-
ton to come forward to be sworn, Messrs. May
nard, Taylor, and Stokes appeared and took the
oath. This was followed by much applause,
and the new members received the congratula-
tons Of the Speaker and Others

The War in Europe.

The intelligence brought by the steamer SEQ
tia indicates that Prussia and Italy have reject
ed the proposition of Austria for submission to
the arbitration of France, and that the war will
go on. The Prussian army was advancing eau
tiously into the interior of Austria, and the lat
ter was vigorously recognizing her forces. 1t
is not improbable that Prussia will hereafter
have cause to regret her rejection of the over
ture for a settlement. AT the outset of this
war, as in all others between the two countries,
she had greatly the advantage, having better
arms and equipments and more dash" than
her adversary. But nearly her full force is in
the field, and Austria has much larger popu-
ation from which to recruit her armies As
the war progresses, therefore, Prussia will grad
ualy become weaker, and Austria comparative
y stronger so that the recent brilliant successes
of the former do not prove that she will tri-
umph finally. During the wars of Frederick
the Great Austria, finding herself unable to
cope with her enemy in the field, inaugurated
the system lately practised so successfully by
the United States, of refusing to exchange
prisoners; and she came near exhausting Prus-
STA Of men, Unless the present war is brought
to close speedily, it is nearly certain that other
European governments will become imbroiled
in it. Russia has begun to growl, and is al
ready moving troops to the frontier of Prussia,
