The Senate committee on territories
have under consideration the project of
forming a new territory out of the north
ern half of Dakota, and will report favor
ably. Three names have been suggested
for the new territory, which viii contain
1920 square miles-Obiibway Algonquin
and Pembina, The committee viii re-
port in favor of the latter as being more
euphonious. The capital of the new ter
ritory will be Bismarck, a town at the
present western terminus of the North
ern Pacific railroad. The average annual
cost to the Federal government OF terri
tory is about SCI. 200.
Messrs. Lawrence, IIaZleton, OF Wiscon-
sin, Scuddef, of New Jersey, and Morri-
son are the subcommittee to which has
been referred, the Sugg Fort case, and
they have had several meetings on the
subject, and have resolved to report that
the payment OF the claim is utterly indie
feasible.
The House decided to-day, by several
very decisive votes, that il would not per
nit the Choctaw claim to pass.

open and are closely watching the
present Assembly. They feel the
need Of laws that will lift them out of
the slough of stagnation and depress.
ion into which the material interests
of the State have fallen. They want
their taxes reduced, and now see that
the only way to secure this is by in
creasing the value of their taxable
property and by producing two blades
of grass and two heads of wheat
where one grows now. They feel that
there are several reforms needed to
direct us into this new way to pros.
perity, and one of these is "a better
system of public roads. How many
farmers and traders are there in East
Tennessee who are unable to take
advantage of the markets because
our miserable roads are an embargo
upon transportation? Suppose we
should have now for twenty days a
sudden rise of ten cents per bushel
in wheat, how many farmers are there
who would find after hauling their
crop through the mud that such an
advance in price was all consumed in
the extra cost and trouble of draw
ing their wagons, ut this season of
the year, through our mudholes and
over our gullies and steep hills?
How many are there who could not
get their crop to market at all in that
time because of our roads? If every
producer and trader would only count
up the drawbacks and extra cost to
them of these bad highways, we
should have better road law, or q
set of Legislators who would give it
to us. We are satisfied from the
encouragement we have received in
agitating this subject that the predic-
ton made in the opening sentence of
this article is true, and respectfully
direct the attention of our legislators
thereto.

The New York Times, which is Just
now freely quoted by the opposition
press, has a lengthy editorial on the
Republican Party" in which it says
that its prospects for the future are
bright. 1t says:
Anybody who now believe that the Re.
publican Party is extinct will be as much
deceived as the Liberals were in 1872
Even the recent events in Louisiana have
kindled a great deal OF party feeling, and
we are bound to confess, a. a simple matter
of fact, that two letters GU. Of every three
which we have received on the subject are
in favor Of the Presidents course. and even
Of Gen. Sheridan disp4tchc- And these

CONNECTICUT REPUBLICANS

Connecticut is a close State politi.
cally, though now in the power of the
Democrats. The Republicans of that
State represent an unusually intelli.
gent and independent body of men.
The Convention of that State has
been the first of any State of impor.
lance to assemble this year, and es-
pecially since the Louisiana troubles.
The resolutions on this subject are OF
special significance, as indicating the
drift of Republican sentiment in the
East, and we give them as follows:
Resolved, That we have undiminished
confidence in the integrity and patriotism
Of President Grant. We heartily indorse
his recent special message to the Senate on
the Louisiana question, and the principles
therein contained. We unite with him 10
declaring that any military interference by
the officers or troops of the United States
with the organization Of a State Legisla.
ture or any of its proceedings, or with any
civil departments of the Government, is
repugnant to our ideas of government, and
with him We can conceive of no case, not
involving rebellion or instruction, where
interference Of authority of the General
Government ought to be permitted or can
be justified, and at the same time we thank
the President for saying:
To the extent that Congress has con-
ferred power on me to prevent it, neither
Ku-Klux Klans, White Leagues, nor any
other association using arms and violence
to execute unlawful purposes, can be per-
mitted in that way to govern any part OF
this country
We urge our Senators and Representa-
tiveS to adopt early measures for securing
the peace and welfare OF the people of Lou e
isiana.
Resoioeh, That we utterly condemn
now, as we did during the war, those un.
warranted 1enunciations of the General
Government which while subscribing only
selfish political purpose, tend 70 keep alive
the insurrectonary md lawless spirit in
certain State Of this Union.

About Military Interference.

Senator Logan, in his very able speech
on the Louisiana troubles, put the Dem
ocrats on record and cited some historical
facts % follows:
p,cr sixty years ago Gen. jackson ar
rested VI. Louiallier, a member of the
Legislature, who was one OF the most
troublesome of his enemies, and then put
the Judge of the United States Court,
who had granted the prisoner Il writ of
hdbedS corpus, i'm jail, and banished him
from the city. The Democracy eulogized
the General for the act, and afterwards
elected him President of the United
States. In 1854 Franklin Pierce, the Dem
ocratic President of the United States,
sent several soldiers and marines into the
City of Boston, arrested Anthony Burns.
a fugitive slave, and returned him to the
State OF Virginia on Government vessel.
In 1886. under the orders OF jefferson
Davis, Secretary Of War, acting under the
authority OF a Democratic President, Col.
Sumner, at the head of the United States
troops, dispersed both Houses Of the Free
State Legislature at Topeka, Kan, by
force, aad this action was Endorsed and
applauded by the Democracy all over the
country. I'm 1861, Gen. Mcclellan issued
hi, order for the arrest Of the Maryland
Legislature, and the first opportunity that
presented itself the Democrats ran him
for President. These instances are suiii-
Cicnt To stamp the inconsistency of the
Bourbon Outcry over the use of the troops
in New Orleans. That point i now well
settled, and has already ceased to be used
a a factor in the Louisiana problem.

THE PEOPLE or this country need
not fear that the President or any
public man Of ordinary sagacity is
going to plunge the nation into war
with Spain or any other Government,
with the expectation that thereby be
is to win popular favor. We are
not a martial people. We do not
want war if 1t can be honorsbly
ayerted. We need now peace, and
increased economy in public expen.
ditures. Our workshops are idle,
our industries are paralyzed and our
commerce crippled. They are the
direct results Of our late war, and
sensible people do not propose to
plunge into another one in hopes to
find a remedy. We are not advised
that our relations with Spain are
such as to give us any pretext for
war. They must not only afford n
preteXt, but they mst make war
the only honorable way out OF our
troubles, before the people will sup
port any such q dernier resort. We
are led to make these remarks be-
cause of the sensational dispatches
sent over the country that the Pres
ident is determined to provoke r war
to win popular favor. We give him
credit for TOO much sense to adopt
any such policy, even if no other
motive than to court popularity con-
trolled him in discharging his duties.
We know enough OF the Washing.
ton correspondents personally, and
have observed their course long
enough to know how many Of them
are utterly irresponsible and unrelia-
BILE. They have lately seriously i'm.
paired the influence of the press by
their reckless manner Of dealing with
public men and measures. The
amount Of trash that is daily tele-
graphed from Washington is startling.
Instead Of sending men Of years and
experience to Washington TO keep the
editors and readers Of the press intel
ligently and reliably informed of the
important events there transporting, as
a rule, a set of young men are sta
toned there, whose highest ambition
is to pitch in to some public man
who has crossed their path or to turn
into public scold. Some of these
fellows have formed q syndicate to
write us into war, and they seem to be
progressing.

chase coal-feld and put the convicts to
work to develop the mineral and mauufac-

and that the State would be largely beur-
flied in many ways by such an arrange
ment. Not only Tennessee, but Alabama,
which has also inexhaustible coal. fields,
might make such an investment pay.

find abundant labor there for several
years, and every mile of good road
they build adds to the value of our
farms and increases the profit Of every

OUR NASHVILLE special recites the
fact that though Gov. Brown has paid
out on behalf of the State $4,000, to
procure assistant counsel to the Dis
trict Attorney General OF Gibson
county, there have been no convictions
for the massacre of the Trenton pris.

be something very much out of the
way in the local sentiment of the
county that would protect the perpe-
traitors of such butchery.

LAST SUMNER, IN the midst of an
exciting canvass, when Horace May
nard was giving the people some in
sight into the corruptions at Nash
vile, many of the hide-bound Demo-
cratic papers cried out, at is all a
Radical lie Abuse was heaped upon
Mr.. Maynard, and the bitterest feel
ings were worked up by a pretended
indignation of the Greeley-Democracy
over the Civil Rights" bill to cover
his exposures of the Hobbs scandal
and funding rings and penitentiary
swindle. But now, when the facts
come out, some of the Democratic
journals speak out boldly. Here is
what the Lebanon Herdld, one of that
class, says:
The serious developments occasioned by
the disclosure Of Hobbs seems tending to
the discovery Of more such jobs as his
Does 1t not seem surprisingly strange that
representatives in the Legislature should
be- bought with the miserable pittance of
fifteen hundred dollars? We could have
believed it Of Louisiana or Mississippi, IN
der Radical domination, but when connect
ed with Tennessee the idea is revolving.
So long has it been merit of our orators
on oil occasions TO decry public corruption
that We we've led to q belief Of their sinceri-
ty. Butthey seem 20 be more Spartan than
we supposed, in one way, at least, and that
is in their belief that crime consists in de-
lection. Such shameful acts under Demo-
cratic rule are outrageous. Such occur
rences rather support the Grand Corruptor
in saying that every man has his price.
And 1t seems that ours, while they have
been lashing dishonesty and Furnishing
crime with one hand have been receiving
brides in the other, and this, too, in the
sale Of the peoples rights, over which they
were placed as guardians and conservators.
What could men of so little character have
done in other States under the rule of car
pet baggers, unfettered by any interest ex-
cept personal, and where strong public
sentiment did not create false and pre-
tended honor?

The PRESENT LEGISLATURE - not
under control Of the funding ring 3"
as was the last. On the 18th instant
the House passed on its final reading
Senator Oyertou's bill repeating the
third section OF the funlin" Law. The
bill passed the Senate last week. #
is the third section that makes the
interest on the funded bonds "a pre-
ierred debt. The repeal virtually de-.
stroys the funding act, and the fact
that there was only one vote in the
House against it, shows the temper of
the people as reflected by their repre-
sentatives.

The PRESENT mode of counting the
electoral votes Of the States in Pres
idential election is by joint conven-
ton of the two Houses of Congress.
If either House objects to counting
the vote of a State it is set eside. In
1877, the Senate will be Republican
and the House Democratic and a con.
flict is not improbable as to the count
ing Of the votes. Such a conflict
would probably lead to very serious
consequences, possibly to civil war.
The danger is great and the subject
has for several years been studied by
some OF our ablest lawyers. In the
Senate last week a bill on this point
was introduced, which is thus DIES.
