y Congress is determined to renoeV
the Utes from Colorado; of that there
can be no boubt. The lands they occu-
by, 5000, 600 acres, are needed for settle
ment. full of rich mines or adaptable Tor
grazing purposes. Tie only question u.s.
WHERE shall. these Troublesome INDIANS
be removed to? The people Of missouri,
Iowa, Kansas, Texas bordering on the
Indian Territory, are opposed to the'r re-
moval there, and the conversion OF tha1
Territory into an Indian Botany bay.
The two places most prominently sns
cested for the Utes are New Mexico ana
the Uintah reservation in Utah. In 'hese
now lands their domains will be cohst"-
erahly reduced, and they will be aiio"eu
only $50 acres TO a family instead OF eoVo'
as they have at present. Mr.. bei1ord'

that the Coloradians do not object TO the

A DETECTIVE JUDICIARY.

The election for Judge through
out the State has convinced us
that an elective Judiciary is a
curse to any people. We have
been taught that the perpetuity
of this government depended
upon an honest andindependent
judiciary. Now we contend
there is not, nor can there be
an Independent judiciary when
the same is elective, and when
that election takes place at the
same time of a general election
there is much less chance OF
having an independent Judlcl-
airy. That office is battered ana
sold for even the little office OF
ward constable; in fact the peo-
pie, us a general thing, do not
regard the Office of Judge with
that sacredness which should
always appertain to thisimport-
ant and responsible position.
One great blundercommitted
by the late Constitutional Con-
vention, was, in establishing an
elective Judiciary, and IN
having that officer selected at a
general election. To us there
is something most degrading
in seeing a candidate for Judge
entering into political comol-
, nation to secure his election.
Capacity and general fitness
, for the position, as a general
thing, enters but little into the
r canvass. Foul combinations are
made and the cesspool of poll
ties stains the Judicial ernllne
Y with the filth ofparty.
We do hope some represen
. tative viii offer an amendment
i to the new Constitution abol
# ishing forever an elective judi
;, ciary. When this is done, ant
an honest and Independent jul
$ dietary is established, then there
: will be hope for this land; thel
~ will the people feel they live IL
it land of liberty, and that tn
Y rights Of all are protected.
