J. w. NII.KH,A colored crank, is trying to persuadethe President sf the feasibility of giv-ing np certain lands in the West to forma future Stats for the exclusive oocupauuy of his. raoe. Unfortunately forNtles aud bis pet scheme, neither Presi-dent, Congress nor people see it in thatlight. We believe the oolored peoplewill have to emigrate, as President Lin-coln years ago advised, notwithstandingthe ciontrary opiuiou of Fred. Doaglas;but we don't believe it wise or p ditio tomake any distinction based ou color.The Afrio-Americaus are simply citizensof the United States, with the same po-litical rights and privileges as German,Irish, Scotch or Dutob-Amerioatis, andchould be treated exactly on the sameprinciples.

WASHINGTON TKHBITOUY ISTKUKMIH

Are beginning to be freely discussed atdinner jwrtitn and social gatherings,a fact which shows an tucreasiug inter-est iu our namesake on the Pacificeoast.

Delegate Brents. Mr. Metoalfe of Se-attle and Mr. Kuhn made arguments tie-fore the Committee on Hallways andCanals ou Monday morning, of ooarsein favor of the bill to aid in the con-struction of a canal between LakesUnion and Washington and PagetSound. They also read before thiscommittee telegraphic memorials fromthe Seattle Chaml>er of Commerce, theCity Conuoil and Commissioners ofKing county, whioh were accepted witha great deal of lutereet. Satisfactoryexplanations were given of the salientfeatures of the bill aud the necessityand importance of tbe oanal as a publiohighway. The committee agreed to re-port the bill with some slight amendmetits proposed by Mr. B. aud agreedto by Mr. M.

Your Delegate al o made an argumentbefore the Senate Committee ou Terri-tories iu favor of tbe bill for tbe admis-sion of the Slate of Washington. Theoo mmitlee requested him to appear be-fore them again today, and, while wewrite. Washington as a State is beingthoroughly discussed. It was broughtupon Friday last; thus society aud somenewspapers bad ail opportunity to dis-cuss the matter over Sabbath, The planof your representative is first to pass itthrough the Seuate aud tUeu reach tbeHouse on the o.dendar from the House(Committee ou Territories. This com-mittee have already reported a substi-tute presented by Mr. Brents for tbebills of Mr. Post of Wyoming and ofMr. 8., providing for four Judges in tbeTerritories, which will, of course, be ofgreat advantage to your people if it be-comes a law.

" Well, gentlemen, if nobody else will,I'll take the responsibility."

"Goabead," said little rebel Mahoiie;" I'll hack you."

The co merce of thin entire toy willdoable if not treble within the next fewyearn, and oar population willgrow inlikeproportion. There in no use of dis-guising the fact, or in other words,"hiding onr light ander a bushel." inregard to the future importance of oursmall inland sea. Oar county, with hernomeroas rivers and fertile valleys, allhaving an outlet on the hay, has enoughundeveloped resources to last an indefi-nite period. 1 lis a county not easilyapproachable, and its varied resourcesare likely to be deceiviug to a stranger,in fact they are beyond one's compre-hension nntil one becomes familiar withtheir surroundings. Not long since wehad the pleasure of meeting a gentle-man from the East, who had beenspending considerable time in lookingover the Northwest, and especially thisTerritory. Among other things, hepud our couuty a very graceful com-pliment, and coming from the source itdid. is decidedly flattering. He saysthat although he bad visited everycounty in the Territory he had failed totind one that compared with Pacificcounty for abundance of resoaroes,scenery, climate, or future businessprospects. We hafe long been of theopinion that this county presented moreadvantages than her sister oounties, batwere not inclined to make publicity ofour oonviction ostentatiously, but weredisposed to allow the olaims of this sec-tion to speak for itself.

So, beoMise Kdmotuls withdrew hisbalf promise on account of his daugh-ter's health, and Logan was d*-ep in theFit/. John Porter case, ttis River andHarbor bills, Ac., aud lost making apoint with colorea people, and Hoar hadaspirations which too much forwardnessin this matter might injure?thus Jo tinSherman tiecomes the sponsor of tue in-vestigation resolution.

The New York Ihruld of Feb. 'M pub-lishes a scurrilous article upon Shermanfur his course. I'Uis is the mttel policy,to educate publio opinion through thepress. Lamar and the other rebel elemeul kn.jw full well that Sherman'scharges are true: hence the Southernersstand before the country otrireed withguilt they caunot deny, aud let theircase go by default, not daring to touchit in the Semite, for

" the offense is rankit smells to heaven." 'I he newspaper

article referred to is said to have beenwritten bv oue Mrs. Meltride, a femaleonrpet bagger from Mississippi, appoint-ed by Secretary Sherman iu the Trea«ury department, out of pity for herutwd and distress, as well as ou ncoountof her claim of suffering so much downthere for Kepublicauism: bat, surely, ifthis person is the writer, as is supposed,«h« is probably instigated by SenatorLauiar. who, naturally enough, desiresto keep the Hherumii investigating com-mittee from Copiah county and Yazoo,aud endorses the wail of this uauielesH?nter, who. as it nppeare, is well knownto the regular oorrtwpondeut of thatpaper.
