Tbe measure is so Inherently just that no one can oppose it with a good face, and it will doubtless soon become a law. Of the four great reforms proposed by the Culiom bill, three are now the law in TJuh, viz: tbe restriction of Probate Courts, the power of the U. S. Marshal and thefeform of the jury system. This bill will complete the list, make elections free in Utah, and raise her people nearly .v to the eialted rank of American citizens. of God, par Drip bam A Co., toreraifoverthemr let them ao express themselves by tbe ballot; but let na make sure that it Is their freely expressed wish. Tbe Territorial Delegates held their tuual meeting this morning, to which, by courtesy, Mr. O'Bannon of Montana, and myself were admitted. Alter full discussion it was agreed to prepare a joint resolution in regard to waste lands, which wdl be in trod need in the Hoosd on Monday, and 99on after in tbe Senate. The resolution is to authorize the appoint-mea- t, of commissioners, wbo shall next summer visit the principal Tallies of the Territories' and Pacific States and to the next Congress make a general report on the best mentis for reclamation of the waste lands of the laterior, the valleys and plateaus which coold be redeemed by n Improved system of irrigation by engineering and canals, the amount cf such lands, tbe feasibility of a general bill extending government aid by grants of land toward tbe construction" of such canals, the claims of ditches - for . mining and other purposes, and generally whatever changes in the homestead laws are tequired to render the same more applicable to tbe new mode of settlement required in the interior valleys of the Rocky Mountains. This resolution will command the support of ait members from lb Pacific States and many others, as the subject is one which will ere long forte itseli upon the attention of Coogres-iBetween longitude 102 deg. and the Pacific , stretching in broken and irregular 1 valleys, plateaus and second bottom, from British America to Mexico, are at least five hundred million acres of nominal desert which could be reclaimed by aa extended ijstemjpf engineering and carrying canals from the rivers along tbe crest: such a system as prevails in Houtlmro Europe, in India and China, aad which once prevailed in Mesopota- mu and Egypt. The world abounds in precedents for government aud to snob work, some of them 400 years old. With the report of this cbomissioa some general bill can be passed by Congress, or certain principles established applicable ' to separate bills for eich of the several valleys, granting a given number of per mile and providing for incorpo-- f ttioh of oanal companies under national ! fissh a law, if now r in operation, ..terre vthe' triigaiion'of the jrttean Weetof Bear River and the Jor- , . eat Tflhey-wib-lbeJgoverum- ' ' . sci-eoti- fia . th-eeo- : - see-tio- ce b.' if Chicago, arrived beta' i few days ago, ami bushels of wheat per year Or' if be owned Bear ijiver plateau, wonlt not give batf to have the other half irrigated?

That this will be .provided lor eventually by Congress, we canoot doubt; only we are anxious to bsve something of it done in this generation. Tbe Rio Pecas Canal, in New Mexico, waa the first measure of this character introduced. It was worked through tbe Senate last year, mainly by tbe exertions of Senators Williams aud Pomeroy, and-iupon the Speakers table in tbe house,' Their Delegate, Mr. Chaves, tells me he is confident of its passage and I hope he is correct, as it is on erectly the same principle as ours. Delegate Ilooper has secured tbe passage through tbe House of an important amendment to the Homestead and Laws, It provides gen- erally that past residence on laod may be accouutejju place of future: that one wbo has already resided five years on his farm need not wait to "prove up, hut get a full title as soon as the fact of such residence is legally established. It is a measure cf simple justice, passed the House without soy particular opposition and1 will pass tbe Senate the same if that grave body ever take time to consider it.
