The friends of the various territories which have been knocking for admission at the door of congress begin to sco the folly of the ef- f forts that have boon made in this diroc- V tion. It was clearly announced when this session of congress began that no territories would bo admitted. Anybody who was at all skilled in reading the signs of the times could have seen it. And yet every one of the territories that has como to the front , and at ono end or other of the capitol usually nt both ends has asked to bo admitted as a stato. Tlio result is that many bills which are of importance to them as torritcries are neglected , and in some cases adversely reported , because the territories are ask ing admission as states ; nnd should they bo so admitted , there would bo no neces sity for the passage of the bills. In other words , they deprive themselves of needed legislation for the poor privilege of talking about admission , when there is no cliancj of their requests being granted. _ WASHINGTON NOTES THK UIVKH AND IIAllllOK IJUDCIET.
