A Republican Form rof Government for
the Territories.

Col. Steele, on the Goth of this
month, introduced in the House of
Representatives, a bill "'to guarantee
to the people of the several territories
a Republican form of government,
and to secure them in the right of
local self-government.'
The bill is sound in principle. and
if it should become a law, would re-
store to the people of the territories
therights and privileges of American
citizens, of which they are deprived
when they leave the States for a res
idcnce in a territory. We trust that
Congress may be disposed to do us
justice by passing the bill, which
reads as follows:
Be it enacted, etc., That at the
next general election for Delegates
to Congress in each of the territories
of the United States, there shall be
chosen, by the qualified electors
thereof, the following named terri
torial officers; One governor, one
secretary, one chief justice, and two
associate justices of the supreme
court, whose term of office shall
commence on the first day of Jan
uary, eighteen hundred and seventy
seven, and continue until their sue
cessors are elected and qualified.
Sec. 2. That the legislative assem-
bly, of each of the several territories
shall, at the next ensuing session
after the passage of this act, provide,
by law, for carrying it into effect,
and shall fix the terms for which the
territorial officers shall hold their
respective Offices, and the times at
which their successors shall be
elected. They may provide the
name in which any territorial
officer shall be subject to impeach-
ment and removal from Office (; and
all territorial officers Whose Offices
are created by the Legislative assem-
bly, shall be elected or appointed as
may be provided by said legislative
assembly.
Sec. 3. That for the purpose of
encouraging settlement of the pub
lie domain, and aiding in the forma-
ton and government of the commu-
mites established thereon, there
shall be annually paid from the
Treasury of the United States, com
mencing or the first day of January,
Ammo Domini eighteen hundred and
scventy-sevcn, to each of the organ
lied Territories, the sum of twenty
five thousand dollars, to aid in main
tanning the government thereof;
which said sum Of money shall be in
lieu of all appropriations heretofore
made for legislative, executive, and
Judicial salaries and expenses of the
several Territories; that said sum of
money shall be paid from the Treas
ury of the United States upon the
acquisitions of the %trcasurers of the
several Territories, who shall execute
bonds, to the satisfaction of the Sec
rotary Of the Treasury of the United
States, for the faithful disbursement
of said moneys.
Sec. a. That in order to secur,
economy in the administration of tht
governments of the several Terrific
ries, the Legislative assemblies thereo
shall be prohibited from %increasin

his outfit has cost him at least %
per cent. more than it would if pur-
chased here.
