Now there ilji s un-rbii wruug in the Lei.'b crin Territory of Colorado, Colo-rado, ' Why is it that lJresidet Grant, who seems to be keeping a sharp eye upon the Territories, does not instruct his governor and thejudgesin Coloradoto put the brakes on the probate courts ? Would ic not be weil for him to instruct judge McKean and thi others "judges of the supremo court, of the United States for the Territory of Utah" to de- 1 cidc that the probate courts in Colorado have no jurisdiction in divorce cases ? Or if he should be advised by the attorney-general that the opinions of "supreme court of the United States in Utah" are not of bindiug force n Colorado, would il not be well for him to instruct the Colorado judges to deprive probate- courts of jurisdiction in such cases ? It is true, probably, that in Colorado, as in Utah, the legislature has conferred confer-red such jurisdiction upon these courts, and that congress has by failine to it-validate it-validate by OKpiOas enactment, buoh laws, thereby legalized them; but what i of that? Things ought to be uniform, you know, in tho Territories, and it docs not look well for congress which has power, it is claimed, to regulate the Territories, to refuse jurisdiction to a court in ono Territory which it grants to another, and as congress has apparently omitted to attend to this importan: question, it would seem to be the duty of the President to do so. It is to bo hoped that judge McKean, governor Black, colonel Wickizsr or Mr. Orr, will call the attention of Ulysses to this matter. Yours, Law Auidino. Why does "Iaw 4-hidiog" leave our Hawley out in the cold in thi3 connection? connec-tion? Ho is a very ioonoolast at dee troying all imagos in the shape of probate court powers, except in tho matter of wills and that sort of business. busi-ness. Our Hawley should not be thus negleoted. |
