1t will be seen that tho President, 30 far from
committing hmsef," positively declined to de,
cido or intimate what course should be pursued
| and turned the whole matter over to Congress for
| it's decision.
L Still adhere to my previously expressed belief
| that the President will veto the bill admitting
Colorado, on the ground OF inadequate population,
II on no other consideration. Thore are not, per-
haps, twelve hundred women in the territory and
consequently each voter in Colorado does not rep
resent the proportion of other citizens in the ter
ritory, that vote does in New YORK, for example.
In fact, as has been shown by Senator DooLrrrLE
and others, who argued the question in the Senate
nearly all tho population Of Colorado are voters.
and consequently the whole population is but
little over the number of voters say seven thors-
sand.
The absurdity and injustice Of placing; this small
community on an equal footing in power and rop-
resentation in the United States Senate, with the
great State Of New York, is apparent Oh the face
OF the proposition And yet, such is the effect of
the bill just passed in both branches Of Congress
and now awaiting The action of the President.

THE NEW ORLEANS COTTON CASE.
The New Orleans cotton case, which has been
and in which a conflict Of civil and military au,
thorlty has grown up, has been brought Officially
to the attention OF the President. BY order, Of
General Candy, the cotton in litigation was seized
in the property, and the order of the Court was
resisted. Judge Durell refused to proceed with
his Court 30 long as it was thus menaced by the
military. The President has directed the Secreta-
ry OF war to instruct General Canby to rescind the
