New-York tribune., 1867-02-19

Members of Congress elect insisting that 1t can
not fall short of $4,000, while her Federal Gov
ernor puts it at 10000 or under-they agree that
it is rapidly increasing by substantial and de-
sirable immigration. Though she may have no
more inhabitants to-day than she had in 1864,
she undenaby has many more families, more
farms, more wealth, more regular industry.
The facts that she paid more money into the
Federal Treasury i'll 1865 than did Nebraska
and New-MexicO together, and that her post
age for the last fiscal year exceeded that of
Nebraska, Nevada, or Arkansas, are to the pur-
pose.
" The two Pacific Railroads will probably
both reach her soil within the current year
the more northerly surely will. These insure a
rapid and vast increase of her population. And
it is greatly desirable that this influx of all
sorts Of people be met at the threshold by the
laws, legal machinery, and consequent order,
of settled and self-ruling State, rather than
by the temporary, provisional, make-shift ar
rangements of Territory.
There are many concurrent reasons, but let
these suffice. 1t seems to us that a rebuff to
Colorado at this time would be a misfortune, not
to her only, but to the whole country.

q ,COUTHERN FOOLS.

We presume the South has no larger pro-
portion of donkeys than other sections; but
they seem to be endowed with n decidedly
louder bray. And it is q general misfortune
that this bray is echoed and rcCchocd all over
the country.
Some two weeks ago. a number OF our most re-
spectacle citizens-generally we believe, such as
are deemed Conservatives but in the average
little addicted TO politics-called a public meet
ing to consider and act on the subject of
Southern distress. (Wc believe the movement
was prompted, if not originated, by certain of
our City's nOblest women, who could not mag
inc that there was aught political or
partisan in an effort to feed the famish-
ing) This meeting, Henry Ward Beecher
and Horace Greeley were invited TO address,
and did 80. Thereupon, absurd paragraphs ap-
peared in certain Southern journals, inveighng
against the presumption or bad taste of the
above named in getting up meetings to relieve
Southern dstress-which they never thought Of
doing. They simply obeyed a call which no
civilized human being could have decently
declined. Either of them may have spoken
well or ill, and be liable to criticism or rebuke
accordingly; but their speaking at all is wholly
the affair Of others.
Mr.. George Peabody recently saw fit to make
large gift in aid of Education at the South !;
placing the money in trust with certain emf
nent and estmable citizens, North and South.
His was noble act-One of many that have
served to make every American proud to own
him as a fellow -cOuntryman. We are sure that
sevcn-eighths of the Southern people honor
and bless him therefor. But these are silently
grateful while the few malignant donkeys lift
up their heels against him after the fashion of
their kind, accompanied by brayings which dis
gust but, unhappily, do not deafen. 1t seems
that majority of the trustees designated by
Mr. p. live north of the Potomac-whereat the
donkeys vocfciate as though Robert c. Win
throp, George Riggs, &C., were hare c-brained
fanatics" intent on subverting Southern in
"stitutiOns"
OF course there is no answering such donkey
isms, unless with cudgel. And so OF the
simulated fear that "niggers" will absorb
the lions share of the great bankers bounty
Mr. Peabody was never a politician-probably
never Woodland is the furthest possible from
being any sort of Radical. He could not, Of
course. stipulate that the most ignorant aud

COLORADO.

The House Of Representatives will soon vote
conclusvcly on the question of admitting Colo
RADIO as a State. Two-thrds being required TO
carry the proposition, we fear its defeat through
the inattention or absence of those who, If they
voted at ALL would vote for admission. Here
are some of our reasons for wishing the sue
cess of the measure:
!. The People of Colorado have called and
held a Convention, organized and elected G
State Government, and sent Members to Con-
eress, who are now awaiting admission. We
presume that that People know best whether
they are fit and ready to assume the response
bilties of self government.
H. Admission will somewhat decrease the
National burdens. Colorado will thereafter pay
her own Governor, Secretary, Legislature,
Judiciary, &C., instead of having them paid
out of the Federal Treasury.

ever, fought hard, and on the vote ordering the

Spain is unique country. Whatever dcs-
potic measures other governments may have
adopted against Liberal representatives OF the
people it has been reserved TO Spain to exile
by one stroke Of the pen all the opponents of
new Ministry. Still more exceptional Cn the
Nineteenth Century is the exile of the near
est relatives Of the sovereign such as The only
sister of the Queen, her sisters husband, the
Duke de MOntpensier. and the brother of the
King. But the exile of the Queens husband

author of the successful des,,gn should DO ap-
pointed architect of the building and with these
conditions the only reason left for preferriRg ons
over the Other-the selection - over the "open
competition would be that Of eGQROmn
BY the plan of "Open cOmpetitionp il
would cost large sum of money TO
pay every competitor for lis design,
and yet not only was this the only fair thing to
do, but it is no longer possible to persuade
architects of position, or, let us say, architects
in good business, TO compete on any other
terms. BY the plan of "selectOnn-the ono
proposed by the lnstitute-an insignificant sum
in proportion to the probable cost of the build
ing would have to be expended. The names OF
ia architects are signed to the protest against
the terms of the War Department These
names are from all parts of the country, and,
we may suppose, represent the body Of the
profession. Out of these IA, there are 20
whose names are familiar to us, and We
will take it for granted there are 20
more, whom, not to know, argues ourselves un-
known. Now, It's plainly impossible to offer
$4,000 apiece TO each of these ia gentlemen;
and yet, for less than that amount, no one of
the number who is of any reputation will put
his T square to his drawing board. Even if
the 40 were chosen and paid, there would be
$4,000 called for nor could this be done, and
leave it an open competition. The plan pro-
posed by the Institute supposes small num-
ber of names to be selected-names known 10
the whole cOmmunity-and that to each OF
these $4,000 shall be paid. We suppose there
may be five such names that in an open ballot
would receive the majority of votes. This
would require 10000 and, surely, when we
consider that the building cannot cost less than
million of dollars, it would be economy TO
spend this sum in securing thoroughly good
design.
AS for the matter Of the additional prizes, we
have said we do not approve this recommenda-
ton. No doubt it might encourage young archi
tects, and might even tempt some embryo Wren
10 chip his shell; but we conceive it is no part
Of the Commissions duty to encourage Art in
this way, desirable as it may be that Art should
be encouraged The only aim of the Commits
sioners should be to get the best design pos
sible for the least amount of money and in
unprofessional and quite disinterested opinion,
the Institute of Architects pointed out the only
sensible and respectable way to attain that end
For these reasons we regret that the offer OF
the New FORK Commissioners has been approved
by the Postmaster General and the Secretary
of the Interior, and that $4,000 are to be offered
to architects as an inducement to competition.
to be divided among fourteen competitors. It
il possible that good design for the new Post
Office may be obtained by this method, out
experience does not justify the expectation.

For years past, Mr.. Thaddeus Stevens has
been the chief hobgOblin of the Democratic
party and press. His Radcalism, his fanaticism,
his hatred of the South that is, of the Re-
belliOn and its abettOrs-haye been depicted by
them as little less than diabOliC. 1t would seem
impossible that they should ever be found rally

Yet yesterday witnessed severe, prOtracted
struggle in the House, with Mr.. Stevens lead
ing the opposition to concurring in the
Senate or Sherman plan of Reconstruction,
and every Democrat rallying strongly un-
der his banner. The minority wanted further
time for deiberation, and Mr.. Stevens graciously
conceded it, He was able and effective, as he
rarely fails to be; 80 was Mr. Boutwell,. who
served as his lieutenant. Though Mr.. Stevens
held that the bill would reOrganize the South
