The Omnibus Territorial Bill.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 23.-By a strict
party vote the House Committee on Terri
tories to-day agreed to report favorably
Chairman Springer's Omnibus bill to en-
able the people of Dakota, Montana, Wash
ington Territory and New Mexico to form
constitutions and state governments and be
admitted to the Union on an equal footing
with the original states. The Republicans
will present a minority report in opposi-
tion.
The bill authorizes the residents of these
territories to elect delegates to a convention
proportionate in number to the population
in the various counties, the apportionment
of delegates to be made by the Governor,
Chief Justice and United States Attorney
of each territory, and the election to be
held on the Tuesday after the first Monday
ofnext August. The number of delegates
TO each convention is fixed at seventy-fv
except in the case of Dakota, whose num-
Der is $50. They are to meet at. the seat OF
government on the second Tuesday of Sep
tember next, adopt the constitution of the
United States, and form constitutions and
state governments, expressly disclaiming
in favor OF the United States all title to the
unappropriated public lands and Indian
lands lying within their territories.

Dakota's Local option.

BISMARCK. Dakota, Feb. 23.-The
Supreme Court to-day knocked all the
props from under the Territorial saloon
keepers by sustaining the new local option
law throughout There were three cases
decided, the most important Of which was
the habeas corpus case of Patrick McMahon,
Of Grand Forks, who alleges that his i'm
prisonment was illegal upon the grounds
that the act OF the Legislative Assembly
WAS unconstitutional and void and that the
act was never enacted by the Legislative
Assembly of the territory. The Supreme
court ruled that the territory is so far SOW
ereign that it has the power to enact any
and all laws in the nature of police regula.
lions not in conflict with the statutes and
constitution of the United States; that the
power of legislation which extends to all
rightful subjects of legislation includes po-
lice powers ;that the prohibition of the sale
OF intoxicating liquors is rightful sub.
1ect Of legislation and is included within
the general grant Of legislative power
granted the territories; that police regula-
tions are necessarily local in their char
acter and could not well be exercised by
Congress over all its outlying ten tory that
1t intended to and must necessarily have
placed somewhere outside OF Congress, bu;
subject to its ultimate control the power of
regulating the affairs Of municipal concerns
in manner and by means adapted to and
in consonance with the character and
necessities of the different localities and
people to be affected thereby. This law is
not open to the objection that it impairs the
right oJ private property, further than the
prohibition laws may be open to a similar
objection.
All the Judges concurred except Judge
Thomas, who dissents on the ground that
the law is in conflict with the organic act
of the territory, that forbids the Legislature
from passing any act impairing the rights Of
private property.
