THE TERRITORIES.
The Territories Of New Mexico. Wash
ington, and your neighl,Or on the east.
Dakota, are before Congress for ailmis-
sion. The committee to-day held full
meeting and q majority report will b.
made recommending the admission ri
Dakota ~ u State. In the
event Of Congress not agreeing tn thu
of the report. it is thought that
the committee on Territories will recon-
mend q division If DacOta into two
PARTS, to TIC known respectively as
Northern and Southern DacOta. on at.-
count Of its immense exl,anse and sparse
The Democratic OH the
arc generally opposed to the
bnt may not make u minOri-
ty report. A subcommittee to which
the question uf admission 1T Washing
ton Territory was submitted have made
4 favorable report, but it is not prob
able that the full committee will
endorse its action. owing to the
want Of the Necessary population
-so fur no action whatever has
been taken in reference to the
bill to admit New Mcxico. The only
bill in reference to Montana before this
committee il No. IAN; amending Set
tlOn- l9:sj-27 Of the Revised Statutes ~
Is to extend the limits Oftllc jurisdiction
of justices Of the peace, whici, reads ',y
striking out the wOrlNN asl,ington, and
he words Idaho Montana, whore
they occur in said sections, and insert
ing the said words iminedia ely after the
word Colorado, where the same occurs
in sail sections. There arc large dele
cations ut D:,kotians here, and they are
lively fight for the admission
,i their territory, and the removal Of
l;ov. Orlway, about whom they say
hard things. Probably it will not lie
long before Montana will I've doing the
same thing.
