ASISDIAS DELEGATE WANTED.

1t is mot generally known that each OF
the give Nations" the civilized tribes Of
the Indian Territory, has one or more del
egates here whose business it is to remain
in Washington during the entire Congress
sional session and look after their tribal
interests. There are not many interests
to be attended to, the position being some
thing in the line OF sineCure, though some
times there is hard work to be done. The
Creeks arc represented in Washington by
Messrs. Liguerto Perryman and John
Thompson. The former, half French and
half Indian, is an intelligent and educated
lawyer OF Muskogee, and the latter is n
full-blooded Greek, who wears immense
brass rings in his ears and can not
speak 4 word Of English. or course
none of these delegates is allowed
the privileges of the floor OF the
house and have to transact their work be-
lore committees. Col. Boudinot, the
Cherokee lawyer and politician, said yes
terday that the present system was very
ineilcient;and that the Indian Territory
ought to be allowed a delegate in Con.
gress to represent the Five Nations, with
the privilege ofrising on the floor and pre-
sentins the wants Of the territory. The
present system only encourages political
rancor in the several nations, as each has
number OF small politicians who want to
come to Washington for the pay and no.

Gently reported by the committee
appropriates 100000 annually to be
among the States and
Territories, under the direction OF
the Secretary of war, according to
the number of Representatives or
Delegates to which each is entitled
in Congress. 1t limits the number
of active militia entitled to receive
the benefit of the appropria-
tions to not exceeding 500 officers
and men for each representative
or delegate to which the
State or Territory is entitled, and
provides for the purchase of ord
nance stores, tents, ETC., for the
militia by the chief of ordnance of
the army under the direction Of the
Secretary of War, and that such
shall remain the property of the
United States, to be accounted for
annually by the Governors of the
States and Territories. Poor Utah
NAV be debarred from the benefits
of the bill, the powers that be being
opposed to the encouragement OF the
military spirit in this Territory.
However, we will not be enyious,

Murray and patting him ION the
back, holding him up as an idol,
that it cannot now find courage to
acknowledge his downfall from the
lofty height to which lit had hoisted
him. This course is cowardly and
unworthy a prominent newspaper.
All that the N. and e.. has had to

HENRY WATTERSON'S SILENCE.

It might, by some, be considered
a little singular that the Louisville
Courier. Journal, Henry Waiter.
sons paper, should have remained
silent concerning the exposures Of
Governor Murray's doings in Ken.
lucky, while it's contemporaries
everywhere were dishing up the de-
tails of the crookedness. The C. j.
has had nothing to say of the bust
ness. and if its enterprising WASH
ington correspondents sent any of
the particulars of the charges, the
editor has deemed 1t wise to sup
press the matter, leaving it to other
journals to bring the facts before the
public. Now the Courier-Journaz
has allowed one Of Nurray's friends
to use its columns in his defense,
the paper not as yet having NUS
tered up the courage to editori-
ally endorse the ex-Marshal,
in the face of the dam
aging disclosures that have al
ready been made. This peculiar
conduct may In time be explained |
1t will be remember that two or
three years ago, Watterson was
about the country, drink
ing whisky and hippodroming with
and Campbell, the last
two having lot of Moulton mining
stock to "place." It was said at the
time that Watterson was interested
In the mine, which by the way
hasn't ''panned cut" to any remark
able degree, as was promised it
would do. Whether or not this was
true, the editor slobbered all over
Murray, his paper teeming with |
such sickiy praise as would have
a modest, intelligent gen
tleman. Watterson's unusual silence
at this time will be apt to revive the
that there might have
been something in the Moulton |
business. He is not the man to
keep silent when a Republican Of
icial is charged with corruption,
hence there must be something |
more than appears on the surface to
account for his silence In this
Instance.

THE New HAVEN Morning Neoos
touches Murray and mis- pals off in
this interesting style, under the
head of more than one guilty"
The exposure of the various frauds per-
petr sted By Eli b. Murray, Governor OF
Utah, does not reflect credit upon our
government. It appears that some OF
Murray's acts were known in 1876 and
that there were papers on file in the De.
psrtment of Justice disclosing some ugly
facts against him. In view Of this accu.
sation his appointment az Governor Of
Utah seems hardly credible.
We trust that this matter will be fully
Investigated and that Murray, il guilty,
will be punished to the foil extent Of the
law, and as partners in his punishment
we ueuld like to see behind prison bars
the accommodating politicians who
winked at his crimes and upheld him.

ADMISSION OF TERRITORIES.

Representative Townshend's Dill
for governing the admission o
Territories into the Union as States
will be favorsbIy reported to TIT
House by the committee on Terri
tories. The only Delegate on thu
committee is Mr.. Post, of Wyom-
ing, but it is quite probable the
other Delegates approve the bill sc
far as 1t goes, and it may 60 fsl
enough, but the brief dispatch on
the subject printed elsewhere fails
to state the fact. The bill provides
that after its passage no Territory
shall form q constitution or be adj
mitted into the Union as q State
until it has population sufficient to
entitle it to Representative in Con.
gress according to the superintendent
then existing. This seems to us
emiAently sensible and proper, and
should have been the law long ago
before some of the pocket-boroughs
were admitted to increase the Re-
publican majority. There never
was reason, justice nor sense in AL
lowing Nevada, with only about
twice the population of Salt Lake
county, to have two Senators and
one Representative in Congress,
while the entire Territory of Utah
was denied any vote in that body.
Nor is it just or reasonable that a
handful of sagebrushers who tc-
morrow may claim California as a
home, and the next day vote in
Arizona or Idaho, should have three
votes in Congress, while three times
their number in New York are
granted only one. According to
the present superintendent about
$4,000 people are entitled to Re-
preventative, while Nevada has
member in the lower house and two
in the Senate, and her population
cannot be more than $4,000. The
other State that falls below the
standard of apport1onment is Della
ware. There are two Territories,
each with population largely in eX-
cess Of the number emitting it to
a Representative. The population of
Dakota is not less than 100000, and
that of Utah will fall little if any
short of that figure. New Mexico
possibly may also have the requisite
number of people. It is manifest
injustice to these healthy, Wig
orous young commemorative
to keep them out of the Union as
1t is equally unjust to the
whole country to admit a Territory
before it contains large enough |
population to be entitled to a Con-
gresham. The intelligent people
of the Territories will not oppose
Mr.. Townshend's bill, but they will
ask that if it be enacted into law a |
provision will be inserted that when
a Territory acquires the requisite
1t can go into the Union
as of right, whether or not the polls
tics of the people is in harmony
with that of the majority in Cons
