HUDSON'S BAY NAVIGATION.
LOttawa Correspondence Toronto Globe.


Under the authority of the department. of
the interior report on the navigation of
Hudson's bay has been, issued The report
on this subject given before the commit go
of immigration and colonization last win +,
and it is supplemented by paper from tie
same gentleman on the whale fisheries Of
Hudson's bay, in support of his statement
that the great inland sea contains extenseiv
fishery wealth. A letter from Mr.. G. Horetsky,
formerly of the Hudson Bay company's
service, is also given, which sustains Prof.
ence gained by five years. residence at
by map of Canada, with each province col
ored, to show its latest boundary decisions,
and the extent, situation and character of the
public lands of the country, and its geograph-
ical relations to the British isles: On the
map the route from Liverpool to Port Nelson
is traced, and placed at 1906 miles, and in
his Introductory report Lieut.. Col. Dennis,
surveyor general, contends that by such
communication, should the same be found
feasible, assuming railroad to be in
operation westerly up the valley of
the Nelson river, immigrants may be placed
on land at Prince Albert settlement, on the
Saskatchewan, more cheaply, and within q
few hours of as short time as they can be
set down in London lin Ontario, by the pres
emit lines of travel either through Moltrea
or New York. From the occurrence of this
passage in the report has emanated the 1u-
NOR that the governn' ent satends to con-
struct the railroad refelrea 70. It may be
mentioned in this connection that the pro-
posed road from Port Nelson will join the
Canada Pacific railroad at or near Prince
Albert, which settlement is situated almost
centrally in the great fertile belt; and if the
bayis navigable for four months in the year,
Canada, it is claimed, will be enabled, on &C.
count of the shortness of the route, to defy
competition in carrying through freight for
that time. Whatever may be the future of
the scheme, it is probable that the govern
ment will ask parliament to vote sum suf-
fciently large to equip steamer to finally
decide the question Of the possible naviga-
ton of the bay during the coming summer.
a gentleman we'll acquainted with the Hud-
son bay district, says that there is harbor
at the mouth of Churchill river, further
north than Port Nelson, which has the
double advantagetof being free from ice
some weeks earlier than Port Nelson, and
which lessons the length of the sea voyage
while it does not make a material increase
in the length of the road.

THE UTE WAR OVER.

 "The life of enc common white man is worth more than all the Indians from the beginning of their creation to the present time, and yet such a man as my father, with brains, intellect and power to move the thoughts of men-his life is now ignomini- ously put out by the hand of savage foe whose life or soul is not worthy of dog, and no power in the land to stay the deed.

A PLAN FOR THE ORGANIZATION or
 THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY.

if is submitted to the consideration of those citizens of Arizona who believe in the principles of the Republican party, that the time for organization has arrived, and that such organization can be more impartially and efectualIy achieved at present than during the near approach of an election. In the absence of any designated authority to prescribe the form and manner oforgani- ration, the following plan is suggested, viz {;
 That there be formed Republican Club in each election precinct of the Territory where twenty or more Republican voters may be found. The organization may con- sist of simple pledge sfthose who sign the roll of the club, that the subscribers adhere to the principles of the Republican party and will supports its regularly nominated candidate for office. To guard against un- fairness it is advisable that the residence and occupation of each subscriber be ap- pended to hls name. Let club meetings be called throughout the Territory for the frst Monday of January, 1880, st T o'clock P. m. for the purpose of electlng delegates to Republican County Convention, to De helo st the County Seats of the several counties on the first Monday of February, 1880, at 1 o'clock p. m., one delegate to be allotted to each club, and one delegate Tor each twenty voters on the club roll. These County Conventions, when assembled can provide for completing the Republican or esnization in their respective count'es' ana can elect delegates to Territorial Con- veptiou ts be held at Tucson on the hrss Monday of March, 1880, st 10 o'clock .. m. One delegate to the Territorial Convention may be allotted to each 90 voters on the club rolls of the County, and one for the County stlarge. The Territorial Convention may complete the organization of the party and, if advisable, elect delegates to the National Convention, which will probably assemble about May next.
 This plan of organization seems to us per fectly feasible, and is, certainly, entirely Fair By passing delegate representation upon Re puh,ican voters who have signed the ciui rolls there can be no dissension as to the relative rights of counties or precincts ano we suggest Tucson as the place of meeting of the first Territorial Convention, because the railroad will, by that time, have made ! more generally accessible than any o'n.' suitable locality, and because we desire '' assure our Republican friends in the South that this suggestion for organization Is up tainted with any desire to gain iocai ao vantage. We trust that the Republican and Independent press win give puelici'! te thls article, and editorial expression O their endorsement or dissent. If the! fsver the plan here suggested, it can easil. be insugarated, and we fancy that eu Democratic friends who have indulged tn fancy that their party can, when organized claim the allegiance of majority of tn voters of this Territory, will be astonishet next January at the rosters of the Arison' Republican Clubs.
