rs The territory of Dakota having now
a population exceeding 40. 900, is knock
ing at the door of the Union as the thir-
ty-ninth State. Dakota is about four
times the size of New York, however,
and Congress instead of admitting her as
a STATE may divide her up into territories
for Il while longer. As Dakota would be
Il Republican State her admission as such
by the present Congress would seem ex-
tremely doubtful. even if her immense
size was not against her.

The complete collapse of the Greanback
party is one of the features of the election
which attracts the least attention merely
because it was so fully discounted in ad-
vance. The third party barely polled 600
votes in Oneida County, or about one
sixth If The Strength manifested = year
ago. The returns from other sections of
the State indicate that Oneida County is
fair test of its vote elsewhere: and one
sixth OF the vote polied Il year ago will
aggregate Il total of but little more than
II, 900 in the State. One ante-election
estimatee laced the probable Greenback
vote at 10000, Such rapid rctrosression
is not only unparalleled but is sufficiently
discouraging to put an end to the third
party in the future. If it could have
forced repeal of the Resumption Act it
would have had a career before it. Fail

ruin to the returning prosperity of the

doubt. Not, of course, as to the fact Of
his release from this troubled scene.
After lingering painfully since February,
1877, he decisiyely breathed his last in
our politics week $50 Yesterday. Since
then he has made no sign. not even a cry
tograplic sign. A mirror or even an ear
held to his lips could not have detected
the faintest tiutter of confidential infor-

Of Julius Cesar. The only doubt in his
case is whether his disembodied ghost will
or will not refrain from revisiting the
glimpses of die moe. amd stalking in the
corridors of conventions. 1t is to be hoped
that it may. In that case the Democrats
will feel bound to defend his memory
and perhaps Mr.. Woodford will consent
to discontinue the income-tax suit. In
case, however, the ghost should oe de
