THE STATE OF NV MEXIco.-The
process of carving new States out of
our vast Territories is continuing, and
vii! keep on until no more territory
remains. Senator Paddock, Of Ne
braska, has introduced bill into the
Senate, which is now before the Com
mi.tee on Territories, providing for
the admission Of New Mexico as q
State. BY this bill it will be in the
power of the political manipulators Of
that Territory to have a constitution
framed by Convention, and ratified
by The people and President Grant,
so a, to enter the Union as full fledg-
I'd State in November next.

New SENATOR FROM LOUISIANA
Mr.. James Eustis, of Louisiana, just
elected by the Legislature of that
State to a seat in the Uuited States
Senate, is a brother of Mr.. Geo. Eus,
It's, who so long and SO creditabiy rep
resented that State in the House of
Representatives before the war, and
who was afterwards arrested on board
of the Trent as secretary of the con-
federate legation to France. His
brother, the Senator-elect, took an
active part with Senator Robertson
and others in the fusion settlement OF
Louisiana affairs last year, and is a
gentleman of admirable tact, good
sense, moderation and ability.

Success is not had by the Govern
ment in its whiskey fraud prosecutions
at Cincinnati such as it met with at
other Western whiskey manufactur-
ing centres. Cincinnati juries seem
to be troubled with the sort of judicial
blindness that is unable TO discern
crookedncs in whiskey. Some of the
journals of that city claim that the
great metropolis of corn and pork is
the only place where distilers manu-
fac:ure the pure article of Bourbon;
but in one of the strongest cases made
up by the Government against parties
in That city, verdict was rendered of
an aoquittal, but containing a declar>
alton that the defendants were "care
less" in the cOnduct of their business,
that iS,were nearly so careless as to be
caught in their crooked ways.

\ LIBRARY WORruY OF THE NATIcx.

4 LIBRARY WORTHY OF THE NATIcy.
The Congressional Library at
Washington now contains 295 ,507
volumes. besides 10000 pamphlets
and a great variety of other printed
matter. Nearly 1000 volumes have
been added within the past year,
there having been $4,000 copyright
entries. At this rate our nation will
soon have to dc what has been done
by every European nation-build a
separate and handsome fire-prool
building to contain its world of vol
umes, and no longer crowd them upon
the floors and shelves and tables Of
mere niche or recess Of the capitol.
Then alone will this library become
worthy of a great nation.
