TERRITORIAL DELEGATES AT WORK.

The Territorial Delegates to Congress appear
to be faithfully guarding the interests OF their
constituents. OnJanuary 3lst, they held a!meet-
ing, and the suggestion Of Garfelde that the
Homestead law should be so amended that the
date of settlement on unsurveyed lands should
count after the survey as the time from which
to compute the period, Of five years. actual
occupancy, requisite under the law to establish
a homestead, was unanimously agreed on by
the Delegates, and Garfield. Clagget and Mer-
ritt were selected as subcommittee to con-
fer with the Committee on Territories and
Public Lands If they succeed in having the
Homestead law thus amended they will have
accomplished more real good for their constit
uents engaged in agricultural pursuits thau all
appropriations for public buildings, etc, would
amount to. Under the Homestead act no GER
tifcate or patent can be given or issued for
land entered under the act until the expiration
Of five years from the date of entry; and per
sons desiring to avail themselves Of the benefit
of the act are required, before making an entry,
file an affidavit that they are heads of families
the entry is made for the purpose of actual
settlement and cultivation, etc, and then after
the expiration of FIVE years, upon the proof by
two witnesses that they have resided upon or
cultivated the land they desire to procure ii.
tie to for the term of FIVE years Immediately
succeeding the time of filing the aforesaid affi-
davit, and upon filing an additional affidavit of
loyalty, etc, they will then be entitled to re-
ceive patent for such land The provisions
of the act work a hardship on settlers on the
public lands within the Territories. Persons
engaged in farming in nearly all the Territories
have squatted on government land, and in a
mpjority of instances have occupied and cult
rated their ranches the full term of FIVE years
before their lands were surveyed and they
could make no application to enter their lands
under the act until the same were surveyed;
and then that they should be required to cult.
vate or occupy it FIVE years longer before they
can get patent is certainly anything but fair.
We hope that the amendments suggested by
the Territorial Delegates will not only be fa-
vorably received by the proper committees,
but that Congress will at once pass bill amend
ing the Homestead law in the manner suggest
ed 1t will be but an act of Justice to our |
hardy pioneers who, by their energy and en-
terprise are opening up the waste regions, and
making what had heretofore been bowling
and uaproductive wilderness to blossom as the |
rose. We hope the subcommittee will leave
no stone unturned in their effort to have this |
matter attended to at once, as it is one of
great Importance to farmers in all our Terri |
,ories, and particularly to those of North and |

REFUSED BAIL.-Judge Mexican, of Utah,
has denied the application made, under instruc
tions from Attorney General Williams, to admit
to bail the Mormon prisoners now in custody
charged with murder, whereupon protest
against his decision. signed by nearly all the
Gentle bankers, business men, and directors
of leading mining companies in Utah was tele-
graphed to the Attorney General. This action
of Mexican places him in atagonism with the
chief law functionary of the government, and
may probably result lin his removal from office, a
consummation devoutly to be wished for.

In is almost as difficult to indicate the
political status Of Spain as to give the true
progress Of revolutionary events in Mexico.
1t is only abouta month ago that King
Amadeus issued q proclamation ANNOUNCE
ing that the 0arlist revolt was over, and a
day or SO after, dispatches from Madrid an-
nounced the flight of Don Carlos, and the
surrender of the last insurgent band. But

thoroughly equipped, tolegably well drilled,
and, with the Hush of victory from their
recent fight, eager to meet the royalists.
But since the proclamation to the present
time no dispatch from Madrid has limited
anything to the contrary until Saturday
when it was officially announced that aitel

FRANCE, it seems, is on the eve of a
political crisis. The immediate cause of
the recent agitation is not fully explained.
The other day deputation of members of
the Right in the Assembly had an inter-
view withPresident Theirs, during which he
was firm in declaring that he would main
ntai Republican form of government. The
opposition members of the Cabinet rendered
their designations, but all save one subse.
! quently reconsidered their determination.
Since then the Right have been in consulta
ton with the Duke d'Aumale, and re-
solved to let Theirs depend for support
entirely upon the Left. The latter are statet
to be quietly watching the course of events
without definite action.

SOME opposition papers profess to count
on the vote Of Indiana in November, for
the reason that Senator Wilson was nomi-
mated for the Vice-Presidency on the Re-
publican ticket instead of Colfax. OF
course. the wish is father to the thought,
but both will undoubtedly be disappointed.
The notion that Presidential candidates are
to be supported or opposed accordingly as
they belong to one State or another is puc-
rle and childish. No such narrow views
of political duties ought to or will obtain in
Indiana or elsewhere. Only eight States
have furnished Presidents to the country,
within period Of eighty-four years, and
almost two-fifths of the time the Office has
been conferred on citizens of States that
were neither born nor thought Of until
years after the Constitution had been in
operation. And the Vice-Presidency has
been held by citizens of only nine States,
five of them being among those which also
gave Presidents. Yet the rest of the coun.
try does not consider itself particularly
Sighted on that account. This low appea
to sectional prejudice will fail, as it ough
to do. Massachusetts, gave Vice-Presiden
Colfax seyenty-iive thousand in IS6S, ant
Indiana will return the compliment by
rousing majority for Senator Wilson in No
vember.

GREELEY A yICARIOUs OFFERING.
We are not sure but that the New York
Herald has hit upon the position Greeley is
destined to fill in history. 1t says that
while "the election of General Grant is a
moral certainty" in any event, yet it is
meet that the Democracy should 9 lay
their unpatriotic principles at the feet of
Father Greeley, y and then their votes for
him twill be accepted as the atonement
for their past transgressions, and will pave
the way for their political salvation.'
Greeley would have made very fair sa-
vior for the Democracy, if in his haste to
secure their nomination he had not already
laid all his principles at their feet, in the
hope that they would be his savior. How
ever, as he must by this time be thorough
ly disheartcned with regard to the Presiden-
cy, and be willing to be put to some other
good use, perhaps he will contentedly SUBJ
nit to political crucifxion on behalf of the
Democracy, preparatory to the millennium
or political vacuum" which, according to
the Dispatch, the Democrats and 'sLiber-
ais" are to rush into in November next.

il is got offat Our own expense. But this
is not. The New York Post has been driv-

THERE can be no mistake in the signs
of the times. The ball rolls steadily on.
The mutual desire of the sections for har-
mony and brotherly relations is undoubted.
They are rushing towards each other as do
bodies towards vacuum. There was a
vacuum in the body-politic which was in
compatible with its existence, and to pre-
serve the g life of the nation that yacu.
nun must be filed, and the Liberal ticket is
about to fill it entircly.-Dipatch.
A vacuum is a very appropriate place for
such body-politic /" as that which sup
ports Greeley to rush into. tits defined as
aplaee empty or devoid of all matter, and
consequently of all principles governing
matter. The Greeley vacuists, therefore
will have happy time of it when they gel
into their natural state-a state that nature
abhors. They will have no Radical plenists
to disturb them, or subject-the to hnInili
ating pressure. No Ku-Klux Legislation
can ever enter that happy vacuum. It viii
be perfect heayenof undisturbed beat

faces, where every one could select hi
