The Star Reuters are trying hard 10
get the case from Judge Wylie. One
OF them was at the Capitol very busy,
and soon after bill was introduced in
the House providing that if any party
in any case pending in the Circuit
Court or in any term of the Supreme
Court Of the District Of Columbia. or
in any proceedings therein, shall at
any time before the trial, file All affida.
Wit that he believes the Judge SO pref
udiced that he cannot have fair and
impartial trial, the said Judge shall
not try the case, but it shall be post
poned for another Judge of the Court,
to be assigned by general term, to hold
term or to try the case. No steps
are to be taken in the cases of Sander
son, Salisbury and others, which are
SO clear and important that convictions
would surely follow presentation of
evidence. The delay is suspicious.

1t is probable that couple of new
States may be admitted this winter.
and perhaps three. Washington, Da-
kota and New Mexico will make very
vigorous efforts for admission. Bills
have already been favorably reported
for Washington and Dakota. Their
admissio would give the Republicans
increased strength in the Senate,
where the majority is so small as to be
quite serious matter. Representa-
tive men from New Mexico are in
Washington urging the admission of
that Territory, but as in politics it is
a little uncertain, they will not proba-
bly, be successful in their efforts.
