That this coratnission diall meet at Washington and be empowered to investigate all dispute as to fisheries, boundaries and other matters of controversy. The Alaltama claims are not alluded to In this letter. Under date of January 30,4871, Secretary Fish replies, and, acknowledging the Importance of the )n()ral of lief Majesty Govern-rueii- t, says that he is directed by to state that the quesPresident the tions referred to, if settled in a satisfactory manner, would still leave that known as the Alabama claims in dispute without establishing those relations of amity which the two countries are anxious ttf enjoy; oiul that if this latter subject be fiuhiuitted hi will apjKiint members of the. joint 'High Commission.

Letters are daily received, also, from recent settlements, claiming they were not enumerated la thecenane; and, it is chimed, the immigration continuous and unusually large aloes the completion of the railroads. Mr. Sbaffen-bur- g coaeludea, npce uy report of the ceaaaa I have traveled extensively over ray entire disirict, and have mads it my special badness to converse with the most intelligent end reliable citizens of various localities, and I have no hesitancy to state as my candid belief founded upon the facts as stated, that at present the population of our Territory would not fell snort of CO. 000." The taxable property, exclusive of railroads, amounts to $19,375,816; and this from the asaewment roils of the several counties ia" which property is seldom assessed at mnch over half its actual vain. The mineral wealth of Colorado is well known, tot her agricultural resouroe are generally mark underrated. The report for 1868 says the average yield of the entire breadth sown was. for wheat 28 bushels per acre, for corn 25 boshelo. and & for oats and barley. The average of wheat seems to me a very large, bat the record may substantiate it. Tbe moan-Ui- n region is set down as ef the whole area, leaving for agricultural and pastoral lands three- - vestba. In the year 1870 the land cfllce at Denver disposed of 274,217 acres. It ia a queer fact that Colorada has fear land offices, the other three at Pueblo, Fairplay and Central City, while Utah with an equal area can afford but one. The other three offices also mad large sales. Colorado has 317 miles of railroad completed, and an almost unlimited number projected, foe entire aales of merebandiee and average stocks carried into Denver last year are set down at the value'of $9,462,-00- 0, has-bee- n foor-sevent- hs and including deposits in the national banks at $1,500,000. Statistics are always dry, hot I give the Coloradoans the benefit of a full . statement, as I have generally been among the opposition. While on the subject of nsw Scats, tbs following table compiled by their' agents her from the department records, will be of universal interest: Ohio, admitted 1802, white population 45,023; Louisiana, admitted 1812, white population 34.311; Indiana, admitted 1816, white population 23,890; ilissis-eip- i, admitted 1817, white ; popnlalion 23,024; Ilhnoti, admitted 1818. white population 53, 733 ; Alabama, admitted 1819, w h its ppa!atipn 83, 131 ; Missouri, admitted 1821. white population 55,983; Arkansas, admitted 1836, white Michigan, admitted 1837, white population 31,346; Florida, popule-tion23.67- ad-xnif- t Isifti wide popoiioo 1; tai 7.913; Iowa, admitted 1845, white ' population 42.924. Wisconsin, admttted IMS, white population 30,749; California, admitted 1850, white pooelatieo 91.635; lliaoe-aota,- v admitted 1858.' white population 6,033(7); 2 Oregon. . admitted 1859,' white population 52.465; mitted 1861. white population 107,503; Nevada, admitted 1866, white population 0,000; Nebraska, admitted 1867, whi ta ' , ypopnlatioo 28,811. Thie taWe, though in exact agreement with the Census Bureau reports here, is calculated to mislead for thia reason; the census t down is the on taken at the beginning of the decad in which tbe State was admitted In some instance hearty-te- n f years before Us admission. Minnesota had in 4850 a populaThus tion of but 6.033, eight years after she was admitted, dnijog which time her population had more 'than trebled, Iowa in 1340 had the number above recorded, 49.921, yet by 1845, when admitted, he had at least 75,050. Illinois in 1816 had 53,738; in the eight years succeeding, being thorn immediately following the late war with England, and whan her Ind-iaware either placated or removed, her population nearly doubled. .Nevada ia eat down at what aha waa supposed to have in I860; her popolation in l&CO ia recorded at only 6.857. Still more does the table do injustice to Nebraska, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Alabama. ' Only two States, California and Kansas, had at tbs time of their admission a larger popT ulation than Utah ls at present, and it will be seen that in each case admission followed close after the decennial census. Only eight 9f the States are credited, by tbs census before admission, with a larger population than Colorado how has, and . throughout we f perceive that Congress has been more and more violating its own rale of only admittidg' a State when it had population sufficient for on memb- jfcmipr; - na ' er-- But when Congress was first organized, it only required 30.000 people to have e Bepresentative; with the iucrease of our country, without a corresponding increase ia Ibe number-o- f Congressmen, each decennial census and apportionment has required a larger number of constituent until, from 1872 to 1882, each member will represent 1C0.000 people. Thus a State could come in uuder the rule in 1820, with 50,000 people, while now it ould require three times as many. Whether tie numberdnly should be uniform, or of' the letter of the law which oondantly increase the number, I will notpretead to eey ; bat if oar population continuee its usual rate ' of increase and the rale is strictly applied, it seema that some of the present Territories never would catch np with the reg. 1 ularly advancing standard. , The last lines were but just inscribed, when a familiar knock was heard at the door.aod following thereafter appeared the Invincible Dr. O. D. Casa. For a few days after hearing be had left Coriune, I searched tbebotels for him, then gave him up, and was surprised at last. Everything lightened at hie appearance; Corinne seemed to stand before me, embodied in her redoubtable representative, and such a grasp of tha hand as we bad and such a talk as followed, may be imagined, bnt cannot be described on paper. Space falls me to tell of all we here said and done Your mammoth petition for a land office was taken into the House aod put into the hands &f Hon. Engeae Wilson, of Minnesota, of the Committee on Public Lands, and by him introduced and referred to that committee. The Doctor leto have a hearing before them eoon, and we feel assured of success. 0. D.M appears in hia usual health, and hia presence is to me wonderfully insfnritfng. f r w-o!- r d . , 1 4.
