fundamentally, nine million acres of land
are thrown open to the people to occupy and
settle, BY the recinding of a presidential or.
der made several years ago. He also in

dollars of money, collected under the U. s.
internal revenue Law, for the purpose of
building q territorial prison. During the
recess he has Travelled over this immense
territory, and mingled with the people of
every part thereof and patiently listened to
their wants, and he goes back to congress
acquainted with his constituents and the
knowledge Of the wants of his district. The
judge has the proud distinction of repre-.
senting the largest district Of any man II
Congress, one hundred and fifty thousand
square miles are not to be sneezed at. A
division Of the territory, and admission o
the southeastern part as q stste, will occupy
aportion of his time and efforts this session
He has thus far made a good record and Y,
b~slieveit will continue until the end of tn
term, when the people will say, "well don
