mon honesty: but there it is,
and there it speaks in the ma
TONS councils. The sixteen late
ly seeding States (including Delaware,
Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri,
which did not secede) have thirty-two
senators. Thirty-nine is majority of
the senate, SO that the south needs only
seven senators from the other States to
make majority of all. She will never
| fail to get them if seven northern demo-
Gratis are there. There are twelve there
now. In the house of representatives
| there are 293 members. A majority is
| lat. The south has 106 members, lack
ing only Al of a majority of all The
south has 1873, lacking onl y AZ of ma
jority. Consider the sway these numbers
have. In the senate there are twenty
eight committees, and committees not on
ly prepare, but virtually control legisla-
ton in both houses, and this must be so
more and more as the houses and bust
ness grow larger. OF these twenty-eight
committees the south has the chairman
ship and the control of ALL The southern
chalrmanships are of important commit
tees. Delaware with 100000 people
about as many as the city of Cleveland,
o., or a single rural county in New York
has the chairmanships of the commit
tees of Privileges and elections and of
finance, both very important committees.
The great state of New York, with s.
100000 people and her enormous inter
ests and tax-paying, has for her demo-
cratic senator the Craftsmanship of the
committee of Patents. West V.r lin a
has the Craftsmanship of the committee
on appropriations, which holds the purse
strings OF the country. The great state
of Pennsylvania has the Craftsmanship of
OF revision OF laWs,-a committee whose
business was finished years ago Virgil
MIA has the craftsmanship of the Commit
tee on pensions; Georgia Of Commerce;
souri, of claims; North Carolina of rail
roads; and 50 on. have said the south
has control OF the working committees,
this is true in this way: On every com
mittee there is majority of democrats,
and OF these a majority in all cases con-
slsts OF southern senators. The same con
ditions prevail in the house. There are
forty-two committees The chairmen Of
twenty-five are from the south All the
committees are 50 constituted that thu
majority is democratic, and of the maj =
ity more than half is southern. During
the two years which this absolute power
in both houses has been so lodged the ex-
lstence OF the veto power and the APP
proach Of the presidential canvass have
suggested urgent reasons for going slow"
Many expected bills have not been intro
duced; many that have been introdr ced

REBELS Controlling THE MA
TION.

Let us see how much national control
is now in the hands of the south. Scant
as it is in numbers and interest, upward
of thirty members sit in the house
of representatives and in the electoral
colleges by reason of counting the whole
colored population as citizens with full
political rights, equal in all things with
whites. This is a double wrong and
double robbery to just the extent to which
the freedmen are hindered or defrauded OF
their vote aud their voice. Applause.
To what extent this is true the election
returns too clearly show. This represen-
tation, based on stifed rights, is plain
violation of the constitution and of COM

Paris III 1867, Vienna in 1873 and Philadelphia

victory at Paris is not surprising, but none the
less gratifying on that account. At this expoSi-

cure Judges of the highest qualification and I'M
questionable partiality, TO subject all machines
and processes to the most thorough and exhaus-
tive tests and to adopt every safeguard against
the making OF awards upon any other grounds
than the real merits of the exhibits. The fact
that out of some so exhibits from all the world
Wheeler & Wilson received the only grand prize,
as is authoratively shown by the cert ticate of

place the superiority of their machines above
all others beyond question.

The settlements 10 the north Of u
are In a great state Of excitement, DO
cause Of the Latest news regarding the
Indiana Gen. Miles sends In word
from Fort Custer that the Crows have
formed q treaty with the Sioux. The
settlers TO the north and west OF Tongue
river are coming into the Coos cresk
valley and forming together for mu-
tual protection. At the Big Horn
postoniee. all Is excitement, which in
creases from the fact that now there
are only two companies OF troops at
the post of Fort Mckinney.
From the fact that the Crows have
heretofore been the inveterate haters Of
the Sioux and have always sought an
opportunity to join the troops TO war
against their red enemies, the above
news Is most startling. few months
ago the LEADER became possessed Of
information tending 10 show that the
Crows were disaffected and manifested
signs Of hostility towards the whites.
They also received and entertained run
ners from Sitting Bulls camp. Settlers
on the borders Of The Crow reservation
were troubled very much during last
summer by the depredations Of their
red neighbors, who, though ut peace
with the whites, stole from the latter rs
II they were at war.
The Crows number In all about $500,
and are able TO put nearly 1000 war
riors into the field. Their reservation
Is an immense one, being about 800
miles long. comprising over 10, 900, 900
acres. 1t begins on the Yellowstone
river at Fort Sarpy; thence south to the
boundary line Of Wyoming; thence west
along the boundary 10 where the yell
lowstone river enters the Yellowstone
national park; thence enthusiastically
along the river to the place Of starting.
1t will thus be seen that the northwest
ern portion Of N territory Is directly
exposed to the Indians. Fort Custer Is
located on the reservation, but at a re-
mote point to the east, many miles from
our boundary.
W. sincerely hope that the news from
our correspondent may prove untrue.
That he believes what he sends us, none
who know the gentleman will deny.
He was formerly in business In Chey-
enne, and bore IN excellent reputation.

TIE nomination Of Judge William
Wac Peck 70 the associate iustiesship
Of New Mexico. is deeply regretted By
the many friends Of the gentleman here,
because Of his consequent withdrawal
from the territory. During his long
residence in Wyoming the judge has
demonstrated rare legal knowledge and
judicial ability. He Is, As every lawyer
at the bar freely admits. Que Of the best
judges that ever graced the Wyoming
bench. Peculiar opinions he may
have, indeed; j. C., opinions not CON-
mon 10 many. But they are the oct-
growth Of q thorough knowledge and
mastery Of law. II some Of his decis-
sons have appeared remarkable; il they
seemed to tread upon new ground; IL
they have differed somewhat from the
accepted order Of things, 1t mi because
Of the application Of the finest and
irmest principles Of Law which have
been resuscitated and rehabilitated by
Judge Peck Principles which may
have long lain dormant are revived and
applied by him. While the nature Of
some Of these decisions may have been
startling 10 4 degree, 1t was because OF
the sudden bringing forth Of presidents
and principles which have been too
long neglected and ignored. OF Judge
Peck's decisions, none can gainsay
them; they are embedded In reason; and
Flaw Is the perfection OF reason" for
that which is not eas Is not law"
His decisions may not have been in ac-
cord with the wishes Of some of our
citizens, but wishes do not and should
not sway the law.
There IL n good thing-for which
even his severest critics will give him
proper credit-Judge Peck has accom-
plished: He has, by his rigorous and
formal administration Of law, brought
TO notice many instances OF compare
tive neglect or oversight in Offices OF
different grades, which have since been
cured. He has elevated the law, pure
and strong, above general western poll
cy, which all must admit is strongly
opposed to the methods OF the plains.
We wish TO make no invidious dis
tinctions, and we tiust that none will
DO willfully interpreted from our re-
marks. But we wish 10 do simple JUS
tice to the name Of Judge Peck, to the
end that II. may be held in proper esteem
and not suffer from the earnings OF
some who. although professed conduc-
tors of engines OF public opinion. are as
ignorant Of the principles OF law and
their application, rs a Ute Indian Is OF
the ~intricacies Of the electric light.
Whatever the peculiaritjes OF Judge
Peck, we take 1t that they are the out
growth Of a spirit Of Independence OF
public opinion, and a faithful adherence
to, and reliance on, his thorough legal
training.
Judge Peck will carry with him the
highest esteem Of his associates on the
bench, the bar, and n majority Of the
people, who all recognize and appreci-
ate his rare learning in law. We re-
greet that he will soon remove from the
territory, but trust that he will find his
new field pleasant and profitable. both
for himself and the people thereof.
