In the Senate, on january Goth,
l&dmumds Of Vermont, called up House
bill No. 1893, in relation to ''ussigu-
mcnt Of Territorial judges" The
House b.N provides in terms that the
legislative assembly of each Territory
Utah excepted, shall ut its first scs-
sion after the passage of the bill, dis
trict the Territory into Judicial Dis
t~riCts, fix the times and places of
holding court therein, and assign the
judges to tho districts respectively.
Edmunds, chairman of the judiciary
committee, said hat the committee
proposed to strike out all after the
enacting clause, and proposed to
amend so that the Territorial Judges
or Il majority of them, in each Terri
tory except Utah, might after the
passage of the bill, re-district the Ter
ritory', fix the times and places Of
holding court therein, and assign
themselves to the districts. Sargent
Of California, a~ntagoniZed this amend
mcnt, and spoke Il piece in opposition
thereto. He represents the Territorial
delegates in the Senate, and the Dele
gates represent the people of the
Territories at Washington, and the
people of the Territories represent
themselves Mt the polls on election
day-if they want to. But Sargent
said the proposed amendment Of the
judiciary committee would give to the
Territorial Judges a power greater than
is now conferred upon the United
States Supreme Court. This last court,
nor the judges thereof, can erect
districts and circuits for the United
States courts, fix the times and
places of holding courts, and assign
Judges thereto. In five Territories The
legislature now controls this matter
in three it rests with the judges, and
in Utah the power is exercised by the
Governor. The delegates were nearly
all in favor of leaving the exercise of
this power with the Territorial iegis-
lature.
The reasons why the power should
be left to the Legislative Assembly of
each Territory, were, said Sargent,
that the judges will consult their own
comfort and convenience, and not the
interests of the people among whom
they are sent; that the judges would
be likely to select places where the
comforts of life could be had, where
to reside and hold court. and that suit
ors and witnesses would be compelled
at great cost and inconvenience TO at
tend ut such places - would suit the

Some unprincipled parties have
been distinguishing themselves of late
by breaking the windows Of the brown
house on Sixteenth Street, north Of
the Railroad House, occupied Ivy n
colored man named \. Galloway and
his wife. MI. Galloway is head waiter
at the Railroad Hotel, and is away
from home all day at his work from
daylight until late at night. His wife
remains at the house alone during his
absence at his laLors, and it is at such
times that missiles are directed at the
east and north sides of the building.
1t is full time that this annoyance
should cease, and that Respectable
people, whether white or colOrcd,
should be free from such ill-mannercd
molestations. Complaint has been
made for some time past Of th&c I'M
seemly and ill-bred occurrences, and
the peace officers should keep an eye
on that locality and promptly arrest
those who may be found engaged in
them.

A popular notion exists in some
minds that yesterday was wood-chuck
day. The story runs that the wood
chuck hides himself away in his hole
in the early days of winter, and has u
good, comfortable nap until the second
day of February. He then comes
forth, shakes himself, and if he can
see his shadow, goes back to his bur-
row and remains for six weeks longer.
All Of which augurs that if the sun
siione so that n woodchuck's shadow
was visible yesterday, it is all up with
peoples hopes for fair weather during
the next forty day.

'-John Phillips, Of the Chug, is in
town, aud reports the stock in that
region all right. Mr.. Phillips is pos
scsscd of more real substantial infor-

try than any man in Wyoming. He
was employed at Fort Phil Kearney
at the time Of the massacre of Col.

dispatches from Col. Carrington. in

ate assistance.
Mr.. Phillips has n good rancho on
the Chug and Il large lot Of cattle, and
will visit the Big Horn country ms
soon as the Government will permit
visits 10 that region. Being an old
practical miner, he discovered some
gold lodges not very far distant from
Fort Phil kearney in 1866, that he is
confident will yet prove of great value.
He had been n prospector and miner
for several years before in California,
Oregon, Idaho and Montana, and

gold mines in the Big Horn Noun
tains, from what he personally saw
there in 1865 and 1866.

THE OUTLOOK.

The interest at present manifested
in the undeveloped resources of Lyon
county speaks volumes for its future
and the future of Silver City. The
great bulk Of attention and effort
which has long been expended upon
the upper end of the Comstock is
gradually being divided with this end
of the lead, and although the COM
paratively shallow development of
our mines has as yet failed to uncov
er Consolidated Virginia" it is
amply sufficient to give ground for
the hope that before another year has
passed, our principal mines will take
rank with the best on the big lead.
The Dayton mine, with its huge ma
chinery, systematic course of devel-
opment, and present showing of vein
and ore, justifes this hope. The ANA
zon, with its broad, well-defned fis-
sure, and the quality of rock at the
short distance prospected, adds in
dubitable evidence that there is a good
time coming. The Cosmopolitan, the
Daney, Buckeye and others, with the
persistent and thorough development
now going on add evidence upon evil
dcnce for the same conclusion. That
which helps this end of the lead, helps
Silver City and the county generally,
for with the improved outlook of the
mines the city keeps steady pace in
growth and business industry. New
houses are nearly every week being
built or started; new projects in bust
ness are being talked of and put in
motion, and our people generally are
prosperous and happy. "Now, by
st. Paul, the work goes brayely on"

DEATH OF EX.PRESIDENT
JOHNSON.

4 telegram from Knoxville, Ten
nessee. brings the information that
Andrew johnson, ex-President of
the United States, died in that city at
o'clock yesterday morning, of par
alysis, Deceased has had an event
full life, tracing it through all its var
,ous incidents from the rude bench
in the tailor shop to the highest office
that can be created by the laws of
the United States. The people of
this day are too well acquainted with
the political history of Andrew john
son to need editorial comment to
assist their memory in calling to
mind his good and bad deeds. Mr..
johnson cannot be set down by fu-
ture historians as a man OF either
very remarkable intellect or possess
ed of those traits of character which
peculiarly distinguish the prominent
statesmen of the age. His succession
to the Presidential chair of the ma
ton was an honor bestowed only
through the lamentable assassination
of President Lincoln, and as empty
of real glory as his whole lite has
been Of real patriotism. Andrew
johnson was man so thoroughly
combative and radical in his opin-
ions that In many places where he
might have been really useful to the
nation, that element in his nature
only served to create confusion and
turmoil among his best political
friends. Saved from impeachment
by one vote, that of Senator Lane of
Kansas, he retained the confidence of
but few and the distrust of many of
his former political associates. In the
lower political positions of life Mr..
johnson gained reputation for abil-
ity and integrity, but bis ambition
evergrasped vainly at greatness for
which. he was untitled. Defeated
ambition embitters the best of ma
lures, and when Andrew johnson
saw fame fade away, he became a
cynic in the political world, distaste-
full to both political parties and
sought after by neither. His elec-
ton to Congress the last time would
have proved misfortune to the
country had he lived to sit in its
Legislative halls, and we look only
upon his death as that of a promi-
nent man who is old enough to die,
and whose political record would not
have been rendered more honorable
had he lived. Sic transit gloria
nundi.
