WASHINGTON TERRITORY LEGISLATURE
The Washington Territory Legislature re
Gently met at Olympia, and Hon. n. T. Cation,
formerly of Owyhee, and Democrat, was
elected Speaker Of the House, Mr. Cation was
elected member from Walla Walla, and. hav.
ing had considerable legislative experience, he
will make good presiding officer. The Dem.
ocrats have majority in both branches, and
among the members Of the House we find the
name Of our old friend Judge b. F. Yantis,
who was elected from Thurston county. Judge
Yantis served two terms in the Idaho Legisla.
ture as member of the Council from Shoshone
county; and he was one Of the best and
ablest men we had 10 that body. Among the
members Of the Washington Territory Coun-
Gil, we also observe the name of w. Fl. Wal.
lace who, if we mistake not, is the same indi.
vldual who once officiated as Governor of Ida.
no, and elected himself Delegate to Congress
by fraudulent election returns. If the people
OF our neishboring Territory knew as much
about Wallace as the people of Idaho do they
would hesitate q long time before they would
put him in an official position Of any kind.

comes to Gee. whether, in his opinion, the con-
ditise Of Eaglish farm laborers would be i'm
proved by their coming to this country, and
we sincerely hope his report will be favorable,
az english farm laborers are class Of which
this country cannot have too many. But il
Mr.. Arch expected to find here paradise. or
anythisg experimenting thereto, he will be
sadly disappointed. In this country. as we be-

in England; and that the farther West he goes

we counsel Mr.. Arch, while in America, to

and Washington. In them he will find millions

An INFAMOUS CoURsE.-Grant's Indian
policy appears to be decidedly one.sided at
fair Captain Jack, -Schonchin and two other

and the other then holding government CON-
mission, - while the murderers of the settlers
on Lost River are to be removed to a reserva.

crime in the eyes Of the Ad,ninistratio ton for
lot of savages to murder and scalp ordinary
people, such as the frontier settlers, but no
punishment Is too great for Indians who have
the audacity to Kill an army officer Or q
preacher. The Indians who committed the
murders on Lost River were indicted by an
Oregon Grand Jury, but the Administration
refuses to surrender them to the civil author
tiles of that State. The course of Grant in
this matter is equivalent to saying that be will
avenge the death Of an officer of the Govern.

more citizens who are not fortunate enough 10

COMMITTEE ON PRIVILEGES AND ELEc-

synopsiTof The plan. suggested to me Senate
Committee % Privileges and Election, for the
sleetion Of ! PreIidsnt and Vice President.
which proposes TO do away with tha Electoral
College altogether and permit the people to
vote directly for candidstesl We think the
plan proposed, Of dividing the States into a.
many districts as they are each entitled to
Representatives in Congress. with an allowance
of two presidential voters at large, to be
counted for the candidate having the largest
vote in the State, is a decided improvement on
the old method. The main objection. however,
which we have to urge against the plan pro-
posed 10; that it leaves tho Territories alto
gether out in, the cold. If any change is de-
sirabie at all, the people OF the organized Ter
ritories should certainly have voice in the
selection Of the Chief Magistrate. There 10
neither sense noricreason in ostracising resi-.
dents Of Territory BY keeping them in q con.
ditiOn of vassalage. politically disfrauchised
simply because they have not voters enough to
entitle them to . member of the Lower House
Of Congress. Some plan could certainly be
proposed whereby the people Of the Territories
should, in accordance with their numbers, have
! voice 10 the selection Of the President and |
We see no necessity, whatever, for changing
The old method. unless we. who are citizens of
he Territories are enfranchised by the change.

STATE MUSTER.
CLOSING DAY.

The weather has been anything but propitu.
Gus during the whole period of the State mus.
ter. Yesterday, the closing day, opened with
more than the usual amount of wet. The
morning exercises consisted of general in.
spection of the troops by Gen. j. M. Haynes,
Inspector General, accompanied by Col. John
M. Brown, Division Inspector, and Gen. B. B.
Murray, yJr., AdIt Gen. The troops were
drawn up in line The unattached companies
also were inspected. Col A. w. Bradbury &C.
companied the Inspector General at the inspec-
droscoggin Artillery received deserved praise
for his energy and proficiency in organizing,
bringing to the ground, and developing in pre-
cision of drill. Thirteen men presented them
selves for the competitive drill. This feature
OF the muster excited a great interest. The u.s.
ual movements were skillfully made, and SO
great was the proficiency of each competitor
that it rendered the decision a matter of the
finest Judgment. Col c. P. Mattocks awarded
the prizes as follows: The first prize to M. A.
Jewell of the Jameson Guards, Bangor; second,
to Sergeant Thomas of the Portland Light In
fantry; third, to Sergeant McCullum of the
Montgomery Guards, Portland.
The afternoon brought with it a severe rain,
which sadly interfered with the grand review
by the Governor. About four o'clock the rain
Stacked up somewhat and it was determined to
proceed with it. A salute of Is guns was fired,
Gov. Perham and staff, accompanied by Gen.
Chamberlain and staff, galloped around the

The Cadet companies of this city were in the
line and did themselves credit The Bidde-
ford Band added their strains to the music of

into the city over Tukey's bridge, followed by a
long line of carriages. The route lay up Wash
ington street, down Congress to City Hall, where
salute was given to the Mayor and City
Council who were standing on the steps of the
building and who returned the salute. The
Governor and stall were escorted to their head
quarters at the Falmouth The line was then
broken and the troops separated, most of the
companies taking special trains 10 their homes
The Androscoggin Light Artillery bivouaced at
Morrills Corner and proceed to Lewiston to-
day. Crowds of people lined the streets along
the route of march. But for the rain the clos
ing scenes of the muster would have been bril-
liant. Gen. Johu NJ Brown entertained Gen.
Chamberlain and staff at private dinner at
the Falmouth last evening.
Among the companies whose movements
called forth special praise were the Montgomery
Guards and Light Infantry of Portland, the
Skowhegan Infantry and the Jameson Guards
of Bangor. Every member of Gen. Chamber
lar's staff has seen honorable service in the
field, and the crowded condition of our columns
prevents a contemplated notice of their war
record. 1t is enough that Maine holds each
one in peculiar regard
