''NeW States may be admitted by the Congress
into this Union, but no new State shall be formed
or erected within the jurisdiction oil any other
State; nor any State be formed by the junction of
two or more States, or parts Of States, without
the consent Of the Legislatures of the States con-
ceTned as we'll as Of the Congress-"
Whenever q territorial government is organ
lied by the citizens OF the United States, such
community becomes an immediate candidate for
admission into the Union, and good faith requires
that this should be done at the proper time Sew
eral presidents established the fact that State
constitutions may be formed and States admitted
without an enabling act. But such admission
has never lessened the power of Congress to dis
pose Of and make needful rules and regulations
respecting the territory, (public lands,) other
property Of the United States In such new States.
The subject matter gives the exclusive right of
legislation as to such prOperty-no more, no less.
But the whole question Of suffrage and local
magiStracy remains with the people.
Can it be affirmed that, In good faith to the
representatives in Congress and others having
business and interests at the seat Of Government,
q State might be organized and admitted within
the District Of Columbia? If this can be an
sWered aff1rmatively, surely this is the shortest
way to "local self-gOyernment." We have abund-
ant and experienced material here for magis-
trstes. We have people who have shown skill in
voting, and we might relieve the United States
Of much trouble and expense.
1t won't do to draw the analogies from the Ter
ritorial, or 'Einehoate State" Organizations and
stop short of place as n State in the Union.
Ho! for the District and State.

Clinton did for the State Of New York.
He understands the subject better than any
man in the country and, as chairman of
the Select Committee on Transportation, is
the natural leader of the movement.
The country expects him to assume the
responsibilities Of the place in which his
colleagues in the Senate have placed him.
In nearly every State in the Union he has
a strong and influential party ready to sus-
tain and support him. The report that he
has written is the ablest and best document
of the kind that is in type; but the Senator
from Minnesota should not rest satisfied
with the mere writing of four OF five hun
dred pages for the Congressional Library.
What is needed is action, prompt and
decisive.
1t is said that the President will renew
his suggestions upon the subject in his
forthcoming message. We hope the report
may be true. When he takes the lead men
like Mr.. Window ought not certainly to
halt and hesitate. Every one who has the
real interest of the Republican party at
heart, who desires to see the country grow
and deyelop as fast as possible, comedies that
this is the best and wisest policy which
could be pursued at the present time. The
outlay by the Government would come
back to it tenfold. The country is so vast
and rich to-day that the grain grown in the
heart of it cannot be brought to market,
cannot be brought within the reach Of the
hundreds of thousands of people who are
starving for the want of it in the East. The
gentlemen who are opposed to this theory
enlarge upon the evils of paternal gov
ernment and pirate about private enter
prise. Private enterprise means nothing
more nor less than abject submission to the
railroad monopolists to the Vandcrbilts
and the Wall-street pirates, who virtually
hold the whole labor of the country tribu-
tary to them. The people are the govern
ment in this country, and if they cannot
help themselves who can?

BY WAY OF ADVICE

The Opposition Journals all over the
country arc cndeavoring 10 create the i'm
preston that there is serious trouble, dis
sension and division existing in the Repub-
liCan party. We arc told that in the ap.
preaching session of Congress the proba-
bilities are strong that the President will
quarrel with his party, or that the party will
quarrel with him. So far as We have been able
10 see and judge, there is no truth whatever
in these reports, and we are confident that
the President is very far from wishing to
initiate the policy which Mr.. johnson pur-
sued some years ago. From conversation
with a large number Of Senators and Rep
resentatives who have arrived in the city,
we form the opinion that, so far as they
are concerned, there is no disposition what
ever to tread in the path marked out for
them. On the contrary, the determination
is strong and earnest on both sides to work
together in the most effective manner for
the success of the party in 1876.
The Republican leaders do not feel by
any means, that the party is beaten-that
the late elections fOreshadow its defeat in
the near elections and in the great CAM
Raign which 1876 will bring with it. The
signs Of the times are not, it is true, as
propitious as they might be for the Repub-
lican party; but, after all, its condition is
infinitely better than that of the Democ-
racy, who, in view of the great ordeal
through which they must pass in the
future, can hardly find the heart to rejoice
in their victories in the present. Power has
passed away from the Republican party, but
it leaves them firm in the determination to
regain it. Power has come to the
Democracy, but it finds them doubtful as
10 its retention, and disheartened at the
grave responsibility which has been unex-
Isooicdly dnvolvOd uroI. thaul- The Re
publican party stands shoulder to shoulder,
more united and courageous than ever.
From its late rcverscs there have come to
il wisdom which could not have been
taught ii in any other way, and there is no
doubt the severe lessons of last month will
have their due and proper effect in the
near future. In the defeats of "A the party

NAME

The New York Tribune of yesterday
says: at was not a wedding trip, but
" consulate TO which he was appointed at
{" the solicitation of Gov. Shepherd, that
"spirited away Colby, clerk Of the investi-
" eating committee, with needed evidence
" in his pocket, during the safe burglary
1" trial. Shepherd, Harrington & Co. got
" efficient service out of their tools; this
one, among other jobs for them, wrote
" useful editorial for a Washington news
paper"
1. VIII the Tribune be good enough to
name the Washington paper for which Mr..
Colby wrote useful editorials?
.. We do not know whether Mr.. Colby
was appointed to foreign consulate upon
the recommendation of cx-Gov. Shepherd
or not; but we do know that he left after
he had been informed by Mr.. Riddle that
he would not be required as witness. at
least we printed a statement to that effect
inthese columns, and it was not denied at
the time. How is II?
