Oldest and most populOuS, Arizona The
mosobarren, Wyoming the youngest, ano
Utah the most difficult to manage, have
nearly all received new Governors. O.
these the most curious selection is prob
ably that of ex-Confederate Gen. Grove
Tor Goyerpor of New Mexico. The most
d!spusedk eltctfon was that of Ashley, fol-
Montana Ashley was hard pressed by
Langiord, resident Of Montana, Collec-
tor Of 1nternal- Revenue, if mistake not,
at present, In the Territory. Letters OF
Old standing were circulated in the Senate
agalnst@Ashley, but he was said to have
been backed up, by the entire Republican
delegauen of the House of Representa-
tlves. til, lis believed to be poor, and the
charge of poverty is great help to a
man of a round and jovial belly who wants
to be Territorial Governor. There is
than for any Of our trans Mississippi
possessions It has attracted military
men, lawyers and politicians from all
parts s.of the country. Therefore Mr.
Ashley is said to have made good

Territorial Governor gets as much as
$4,000 a year, butas gentleman. wishing
one of these appointments, said to me ::
They are supposed to live on the moral
grandeur Of the thing.
RULER OF WYOMING.
To Wyoming goes Colonel or General
y. A. Campbell, of Ohio, an officer upon
the staff of Gen Schofeld, about thirty
two years of age, of small figure, light
hair and eyes, and rather civilian pres
ence. He was an editor in Ohio, enter
ed the army at an early period of the fray
and served with credit, and particularly
to the satisfaction of Gen. Sco6eld, down
to the surrender of johnson and Lee.
Since the war he has been attached to the
War Department, close to the presence
Of the Secretary, and he has made a
pleasant impression here as genial,
witty, shrewd young gentleman, of clear
discrimination and good sense. He is
nd of Grant personally. 1t is fine
lie high-road to civil distinction, and
eneral Campbell friends express no
ubt that his future will develop solidly
d strongly.
NEW MEXICO.
Colonel G. G. Grove of Alabama, is
new Governor of New Mexico, if he
confirmed. He was stout Unionist
wn the breaking out of the war, when
went into the Southern army and
yed throughout. The State of Ala
ma has been Individual among South
Estates for the cheerful alacrlty with
,ich many of its rebel officers accepted
new situation and joined the Repub-
an party. At Montgomery there is a
werful Republican nucleus, maintained
most entirely by ex-rebels. The daily
per there, which is the Republican
ate organ, is owned and edited by John
Stokes, the son-inlaw of the famous
Del General Sibley, inventor of the
bley tent. Colonel Grove. as a friend
d supporter of Gen. Longstreet, took
e stump for Grant early in the late
lltical eampaign,-and delivered pow
full and telling speeches. He is about
years of age, and is tall, large, fine
oking man, with luxurious and long
l.lnanaand beard, classical features and
Oldest yet persuasive address. His
lucation is said to be superior, and his
1ecutive talents good.
The Territory of New Mexico seems to
I'VE no particular destiny, unless some
the railways projected be executed
ere; It's white population is partly
Danish, partly Indian. The Pueblo In
ans have the best and most curious
yell,ngs of all the aboriginal tribes
FUSES of adobe, with entrances at the
p, to which they climb by ladders, and
Ill them up after. They seem to have
zen civilized very early on purpose to
OPP and grow no more. Altogether,
eneral Grove is not to be envied in his
,vereignty over New Mexico.
NEW GOVERNOR OF COLORADO.
General Edward McCook, one of the
lost gallant and effective cavalry officers
f the Western armies, goes to Colorado
s Governor, the Territory from which he
JAILED during the war. although by birth
he is an Ohioan, by commission an Indi-
anian, and by appointment an officer OF
the regular army of the United States.
His is decidedly the strongest appoint
ment made to the Territories by General
Grant; for,in the general coure of things
Territorial Governor, if he sticks to his
Territory, comes tc the United States
Senate after the State is admitted. II
this way Nye, Ramsey, Lewis Cass, Viii
liam H. Harrison, 10. Lane. and Fremont
Military Governor of California, reached
the United Senate McCook was law
or at Steubenville When the fever broke

library and settled at Central City in So!
His fine appearance, genial yet dignifec
manners, and solid pose and thoughtful
ness we're at once appreciated In thai
rough country. He was sent to the Leg
islature of kansas-for Colorado was ther
merely Arrapahoe County-and, after
serving with intelligence and spirit, wa:
on his way homeward when he heard OF
the attack upon Fort Sumpter. He
wheeled to the right about instantly, anc
went into the field Major of cavalry. A

in all, slxteen-hc received six brevets
for gallant and meritorious conduct in The
cuted the splendid cavalry achievement
which made Sherman rapturous, striking
Hood communications and rear, burn
ing his eight hundred wagons, making
havoc in the Gate City, and at last, wher
Sherman thought he would have to sur
render ia toto, he swan the Chattahoochit
River, and cut his way out through op
posing infantry. There are many Ne
Cooks military men, the prominent one o
which was killed by guerrillas TIL

of the living family.
The literary and scholarly tastes OF tn
new Governor are fine. He has bee
nearly three years our Minister to the Sand
wich Islands. and concluded reciproit,
treaty with Kammehameha When hi
name came in the other day, Charlie
Sumner remarked that he was one of tn
most efficient officers in the diplomat
service. In appearance he is tall, broa
and straight, with coal black eyes, mou:
