WYOMING TERRITORY.

TO The Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR Several days ago there was letter pub
lished in THE NEw-YORK TRIBUNE from its Greeley,
Colorado correspondent the effect that the country
Wyoming Territory, between Cheyenne and Ogden,
along the line of the Union Pacific Railroad was unin-
habited As this by borne out by facts
trust you will give space in your columns to say
few words about the matter have been stationed in
Wyoming Territory time and have passed through
il on the railroad several times OF course the gentle
man from Colorado wishes TO make out good for
his Territory and do not blame him. but this gives him
no right go out OF his way TO administer kick 10 the
youngest and respects fairest Territory belong
ing TO the nation. The City of Laramie beyond Chey-
enne, is d fine town. and seems TO be In nourishing
condition. Near this place. the plains, there is
excellent grazing ground for cattle, sheep and horses
and there many fine herds here. Indeed, It ia
claimed by many that this Is the finest grazing country
in the West, and that great part OF our supplies
OF beef cattle Will hereafter drawn from this quarter
According to the last this Territory contained
SllS inhabitants, divided follows Albany County,
ZVH NarDOh county, l,3G5; Laramie County, 2,957 !;
hWeetwater county, l916 and Uintah County $50 Since
the census was taken great many settlers have come
INTO TINS territory and is safe To say that contains
at present over 10000 Inhabitants Colorado Territory
contained, in 1860 "a 277 inhabitants and in 1870 gq G4
belng "A gam Oi b,74. As Wyoming Territory was NOT
iess Ina Two years would seem that II far tripped
Colorado IN Its growth and advancement Bv me fiue
the next census Is taken Is fair to suppose that il will
have far larger population than Colorado IL win bc
seen from this that Wyoming s by no means mimi ah
lted and the Union Pacific Railroad may be said 10
nave brought the Territory into being. Unlike most
countries the railroad developed the country instead M
the country having developed the railroad II bounds
IN ne streams excellent grazing grounds good timber
and great mines OF coal iron and gold.

Of the United States bear such device
and inscription as will recognize the

proved. A long discussion took place In

Horrible Murder in Washing

A Merchant of EIdersviIle Has His
Head Blown OF by an Internal
Device While Asleep.

Device WhlIe Asleep
Especial Dispatch to the Gntelligencer.)
HANTGN, Pa, Dec. 8, 1872.
A horrible murder was committed at
Eldersville, Washington county, Penn
sylvania, last night, by very extraordi-
nary device. The victim was merchant
named John Ellingham. Whileasleep in
bed beside his wife his head was blown
of by q heavy charge Of powder and
slugs fired from outside tie house through
his bedroom window. The instrument of
death was q sort Of gun manufactured ont
of q water pipe about five feet long and
two.inch bore. One end Of this was
closed by battering in and by slug Of
melted lead run into it. A fuse about
twelve feet long led into the pipe, which
was heavily charged with power and
slugs. This murderous instrument was
elevated on sort of platform to a level
with the window, then adjusted in range
ofthe sleeping victim and the fuse fired,
while the devilish contriver of the ar
rangement made h escape. The deceas-
ed slept on lower floor which made it
comparatively easy for the murderer to
carry out his plot The murderer is un-
known but detectives are working up the
case. Great excitement exists in the COM
munity. W. E.

approve the ordinance and that he de-
claFed enphatlcally to a member OF
Council that the pretended guaranty was
no guaranty at all. The Register talks
with an exquisite satire we almost sus-
pec0 about the abSurdity Of requiring
any GUARANTEES beyond the "mSnifest
ability" Of the two companies. Manifest
ability indeed! Wehave been for months
vainly trying to get some practical cvi-
dence, having business value, OF this
ability; and there has been persistent re.
iuSal to give the public any Information.
30 far as known the manifest ability Of
the Railway organization consists in local
subscriptions in Ohio amounting to $O44,.
600. And these subscriptions are not
made, and under the law cannot be made,
to the W. & L. E, Railway Company at
all. Every subscription by city, county, or
township is completely independent Of all
others, and Is not made to the stock OF the
Railway Company. Only individuals in
Ohio can subscribe directly to the Com
psny, and the subscriptions Of that char.
acter are not large. The manifest ablli.
ty" OF the Bridge Company appears TO
consist Of 100000 subscribed by the
mythical Blowhard Wilson and $4,000
in good faith by our own citizens, when
not much less than a million and hall
will be required. Really the Register ought
not to joke on such tender subjects.
lthas been understood all along that
the Railway Company would take the
city bonds in payment Of subscription at
par, but the ordinance provides land SO
does the bridge ordinance) that If the
Company prefers, our commissioners shall
sell the bonds for whatever they will
bring and pay the Company the money.
It is not provided that the Company shall
accept the proceeds OF bond for q sum
equal 10 us lace. II We get 70 cents for
dollar Of bond, we cannot pay dollar
OF the subscription with the 70 cents.
The 70 cents will pay but 70 cents, and
the city is to lose the other 80 cents,
With 100000 worth OF bonds, If they
could be negotiated at all, we might be
able to pay 100000 or $25O,OOO Of sub.
scription.
Gentlemen OF the Council. 1t is your
sworn duty, and you specially pledged
yourselves before the election last June,
to protect the interests contided to you by
your fellow citizens by demanding ample
and sufficient guarantees before these
subscriptions were made. We utterly
deny your authority to make any sub.
scriptions beyond about $4,000. But il
you will go on in this matter, you cannot
acquit your consciences or redeem your
pledges II you pass these ordinances as
they have come from the committee.
