The oft expressed surprise of many persons
that prominent politicians are to be found who
Will readily take upon themselves the OneTous
duties and the dismal depriyatiOns, and dare
the dangers Of Territorial Office for the small
salaries as set forth in the official blue book,
viii be less ened on reading, as given else
where the results of legislative inquiry into
the Territorial method of conducting business.
1t appears for instance, that while all Teni-
toral Governors are paid salary by the Gene
raj GovelA.Aent, some of them receive another
by vote of generous and highly appreciative
Legislatures. And it still fmther appears that
in order, probably, that they may not appear
invidious, the said Territorial Legislatures are
in the habit Of voting themselves additional
salaries. There would be little reason for us
away off here in the East to complain Of this
display of liberality, were it not that by some
means these double salaries come out of the
United States Treasury. To be sure, John
Chinaman is taxed rather heavily for the
blessed privilege Of mining in some Territories,
but it appears that the fund thus accumulated
is separately appropriated for legislative wants
We hope, therefore, that we shall not be con-
sidered ms intrusive by our Territorial friends
if we INDULGE in tie hope that the House Com
mittee on Territories, which has discovered
these abuses, will not rest satisfied until it has
reformed them.

Kcntucliians have some queer notions of how
great states are developed and made rich. The
cities of Louisville, in that State, and Cincin-
natl, which ia in the neighboring State of
Ohio, indulge in a brisk rivalry for the Hons
share of the Southwestern trade. A very
cOmmendable rivalry, we say, and one which
we would naturally suppose all rural Ken
tuclly would be glad to encourage. But
not so. Louisville has railroad to
the Southwest which from the hour of its
completion has never been able to carry all the
freight offered it. A double track or another
road is imperatively demanded f; and as Louis
vile showed no disposition to build the double
track, Cincinnati asked the Kentucky Legisla-
ture to let her build another road. But the
Louisvillians FIVE may so term, them meaning
no ofiense) seem to think less of OfdevclOpingthcir
own greatness than of retarding that of their
rival, and so opposed in the Legislature The bill
for the Cincinnati road. And rural Kentucky
actually voted against it! We can imagine no
greater display of Obtuseness than this instance
affords in any of our country cousins. Cincin-
natl, not content with this refusal, has asked
Congress to incorporate the road, and Kentucky
1--WE trust) is to be improved and made rich
against her own wishes.

yerdicts of "not gritty Of murder on the

When the Committee on Appropriations IN

months ago, its Chairman congratulated the

these, but the Tariff, Funding, Georgia ana

Tie Erenipg Post thus responds to our state

reduced their cost to consumers:

yards in length. and weighing four ana half pounds
per pair Tut TRIBUNE stated last month were worth

that The Post never seems to see anything
but foreign manufactures. The question is not

We reterate that those who pay more for
Blankets in 1870 than they did in 1860 buy
them at the wrong shop. Though the duty be
five times-if you please, ten times-what it
was ten years ago, the average price in gold
is about the same The effect of Protection
has been t. increase the demand for American
Blankets, and thus call into existence large
number of new factories. If that is " the
" sole benefit of a few monopolists,' then
