Ink Territory of Dakota will be
knocking at the doors of Congress
for admission into the Union, at the
next session. She has a population
of about 100000; more than three
times the population of Nevada, and
it is rapidly increasing. In fact her
population will be larger than that
of any state west of the Mississippi
for twenty-five years. In settlement.
IN production, in railway develop
ment, no territory applying has
ever made a better showing for n
claim of statehood. 1t is apprehend-
ed that some opposition from the
south, and possibly some from the
east may be manifested, and the
question of her admission be bone
of contention. But as her claims
are SO strong, opposition to her ad
mission can only be founded on Sec
tional jealousy. 1t cannot long
delay her entrance into the Union.
1t ought not to delay it at all.

A B1aephemous Wretch.

WASHINGTON, Nov. II in the

for delivery in the court today he
says lie is charged with numbering
one James 4. Garfield. Nothing can
he more absar5, because General
Garfield died Of malpractice. Gen.
Garfield was good man, but a
veal, politician. Being president
he was in a position to do vast harm
to the republican, and he was doing
it by the unwise use Of patronage,
and the Lord and himself took the
responsibility or removing him.
That his duty to Tie Lord and to
the American people oyercame his

field and be sought to remove him.
Not being a marksman, Gen. Gar
field was not fa2ily shot, but incom-

Of the reach in the Republican
party, and his resolve to remove the
President, aud claims that the Deity
ordered him to fire the shot. He
refers to his work on theology, in
sanity in his family, bis married life,
and his life in prison, and appeals
to those whom he says he has put in
position and to the general public to
send him money for his defense.

little talk in relation to the boy, he
was brought in and a long column of
figures placed before him. when he sat
down the answer with rapidity which
would have done credit to Barnum's
lightning calculator. He was tried on
several examples of this kind, with like
success. If he stands before black

column of figures he is ready with the
answer when the last figure is placed in

be half an inch in length. Her teeth
must be as sparkling as the pearls of
Ceylon. Her breath must be like unto
the scents of the magnificent odorous
groves of Java, and her attire must be
from the silken weavers of Kali
Ching. which are on the banks of the
greatest river in the world-the ever
flowing Yang-tse- Kiang." The prico
