The Governors Report.

A press dispatch from Washington says:
 Governor Murphy of Arizona. in his annual report to the Secretary of the Interior, renews his plea for statehood, saying it has been denied to Arizona because of sectional prejudice, ignor, ance. an imaginary partisan policy and selfishness.
 Other recommendations are for d cession of all the public lands within Arizona to the territory or state, pend- ing which the territory should be authorized to lease them us grazing lands: a survey of all he lands within the territory, and especially the rail road grants for taxing purposes: the establishment of mint or assaying office: an amendment of the Act of June 2S, 1866, as to right-of way for the Atlantic X Pacific Railway com pany, to permit the taxing of the track and superstructures on the right-of- way: an increase of the salaries Of the Federal judges; the creation of the Fifth judicial district; the creation by Congress of commission of ethno- logical and archaeological research in Arizona; and Congressional appro- priation to pay the governors and sec retaries of territories the salaries ai- lowed them by law.
