real estate OF the debtor; to appeals
from inferior to appellate courts; TO
| alterations of her real estate 10y the
wife; 10 the prohibition in the law
preventing the husband or wife from
t~pstifying for or against the other, ex-
I cept in n certain class Of cases to the
| provision regulating the admission Of
testimony 20 the Statutes OF Limita-
ton. and 10 the law creating and
regulating corporations.
The neglect OF the two past legisla-
tive assemblies is next alluded to, in
regard to the duty nf the Legislature to
make an apportionment of the mem
bers Of the Council and House Of Re
urcsentatives among the different
counties, in proportion to their re-
| spective populations, and to assign II
Justices Of the Supreme Court to dis
tricts respectively, as required 10y the
provisions Of the Organic Act. 1t is urg-
ed that in these particulars. this legis-
laturr should not initiate its immediate
predecessors, hut perform the duty as
required 10y the fundamental law of
the Territory, without fear or favor.
An increase in the number Of JUS
tees of the Peace in each county, for
greater public convenience. is recon-
mended.
The subject of female suffrage is
next touched upon and its experiment
for nearly six years i'm Wyoming is
pronounced to have demonstrated tie
wisdom Of the First Legislative As
semhly in adopting it. Its undis-
turhed continuance is recommended.
The question Of biennial elections in
the Territory, Mt which all the elective
offices shall lie filled, il commended TO
the consideration Of the Legislators,
and some of the advantages arising
from it, plainly pointed out.
The message then proceeds to point
out the policy of inducing the invest
ment Of outside capital, IN establish
ing manufactures of various kinds in
the Territory, 10y the passage of n law
that will enable the people of the
different lOCalities, If they deem 1t
wise so to do, to effect a rebate of tax
alton upon such capital, until the
experiment Of the mmufacturing in
tercst shall have been fairly tried and
made a profitable one.
The agricultural and pastoral re-
sources of the Territory are next
passed in review, and each receives
proper consideration. and it is pressed
upon the attention of the Legislature to
do what is in its power to make
known these abroad.
Some figures are furnished upon the
amnun Of live stock and wool shipped
To eastern markets since January LIST,
1874. which are as follows:
Live stock shipped, 1874, 567 ear loads.
1873. 915
Whole number Of head shipped. 2O.Gin.
Wool shipped, 1874, JOG $50 lbs
1875, 2O1, 222
Increase over last year, 81, 500 "
The message then proceeds TO dis
course upon the growing and apparent
! e ,essitv Of animaI food. for this coun-
try and Europe, aud points out the
great q lvantages of our plains and hill
sides to produce it. The attention of
English capitalists who have many
millions of pounds sterling invested in
cattle and sheep raising in the distant
country of Australia, should be attract

itable pursuits, by some appropriate
means.
The vast mineral wealth of Wyo-
ming in gold, silver. copper. plumbago,
&c, receives proper mention while
the illimitable deposits of coal and iron
in the settled portion Of the territory
come in for favorable notice. Already
the first eight months of this year 32J,-
7S3 tons of coal have been mined and
delivered upon the cars in the territory.
The Indian question is the next sub
ject touched upon in the message, and
the views of Governor Thayer thereon,
in full sympathy with u people. 1t
shows hat the Indians have cuntin-
uUlly and persistently violated the
provisions of the treaty of 1865 with
impunity ; hat outside of their reser
walton, and off the ''uucedcd lands Of
the country north of the North Platte
River, no fewer than 80 murders of
whites have been committed by these
Indians and fully $500, 900 worth of
stock ran of and stolen. Settlements
have been broken up and retarded,
and mining development in the Sweet
water and other districts obstructed
and prevented. These things should
