DENVER, COL, Jan. 31.-The excitement IT
tendant upon the change Of Territorial officer:
by President Grant is On the increase. Meet
ings are being held at various points throughout
the Territory to give expression relative to tht
matter. Resolutions, petitions, and memorials
in great numbers are being sent to Washington
with the view OF influencing the courao Of th&
Administration. The breach between tht
respective friends OF Elbort and NcCook il
growing wider and wider. But few papers in
the Territory support the latter gentleman. 4
bitter warfare Of words, however. is being con-
strong points that some Of the opponents ot
Ebert is trying to make is, that he appointed

been investigating the matter, and made re-
port thereon, which creates : great
deal OF comment. Mo1at will ss4rt
for Washington tomorrow morning
to set forth the facts in the case more fully and
to show that it is his own private enterprise, IN
which none other Of the Colorado officials srs IN

OF making plain many facts that have not jet

which shows conclusively that he made

Cameron thinks he can have his son-ln-lAw,
Wayne McVeish, elec:sd to the place, it his po-
itical sagacity has not deserted him. Scott is q
reputable lawyer, and has made fine record in
the Senate as quiet, hard-work1ng man Of very
good ability, and he would doubtless prove Z
much better Attorney-Gencral than any OF the
gentlemen whom Grant has discovered for the
place up to this present time. For aome reason

the of1icinl life Of the latter gentleman will
