Department, make suggestions that are very interet'cg. 3f ( ntt, The Governor of I-iontaiia submits the question whether the VuS d v t' will permit the British Government to a fiord an asylum for onr hostile Indians, a .1 ti i 1 ' them a safj? place where they iua it u tail replenish tht-ir supi;ly of amilmnition &! 1 a .in raid upon peaceable citizens. It f e i,n Oovemmcnt persli-ts ia dtiaji bo It 1 meiidf that for the P3fety cf the peer''1 ct tt Ten-itoi-y the Indians 1 reiiioved iroui tne lmder foveral hundrett miles into the interior. 1 recommenila, also, in view of the surrounding dangers, that the military districts of the Yellowstone and Montana bo consolidated in one department and placed under the command of Gen. Nelson A. Sides, to the support of whom thousands of settlers would rally. T'lnh. Gov. Emery, of Utah, recommends a modification of the Jury law in force so that jurors may be selected, certainly in crhiunal Cises, in precisely the same manner as they are chosen for the United States courts in the States. He claims that as matters now stand it is almost impossible, owing to the peculiar legislation enacted by Congress, and to Territorial legislation, to obtain conviction in certain classes of cases. He recommends, secondly, that woman suffrage in the Territory be rIk1ished and thirdly, that bigamy in the Territories should be made by act of Congress a continuous offense, based on cohabitation rather than the marriage ceremony, as is now enacted by Congress. Lhiho. Gov. Bray man, of Idaho, makea a general recommendation that a thorough revision and consolidation of the laws governing Territories be effected, seen ring greater uniformity, applying to all the same rules, in a manner defining more clearly the rights and limits of local legislation, and holding ofiteers to a stricter accountability. To bring this about it is suggested that Territorial delegates might properly bo permitted to vote in the Rou-e on Territorial matters. Arizona. Gov. Fremont, of Arizona, in his report to the Secretary of the Interior, expresses the opinion tli.it the control of the Indians there should be transferred to the military. IlISCEIiLAlJEOUS REPOHTS.

One of the most republican of Ameri- : can Governors was Thomas Chittenden, the first Governor of Vermont. He w as a plain farmer, just like other folk in his : habits of living, but remarkable for I.N ; good sense. He held the office of Gov- ; ernor for "seventeen years. A good story f Mrs. Chittenden, who was as smart as ; the Governor, is told: TI ley were once visited by a party of traveling fashionables from one of our cities. When tlie hour of dinner arrived. Mrs. Chittenden, to the astonishment of ; her ludy guests, went out and blew a tin 1 horn for the workmen, who soon arrived. To the .still greater astonishment of these fair city ladies, the whole company, Governor,' his guests, workmen j and all, were invited to sit down' to the substantial meal which was on the table. After dinner was over and the ladies i were left to themselves, one of the guests thought she would gently take Mrs. ; Chittenden to task for this inoiisti-ons violation of the rules of city gentility, to ; -which she had been, as she thought, so uncourteonsly made a victim. "You do not generally sit down to the ; same table with your workmen, I Kiipi pose, Mrs. Chittenden?" she com menced. "Why," replied the Governor's lady, whose quick wit instantly Appreciated the drift of the other, "why, I am almost ashamed to say we generally have, but I intend to' amend soon iu this particular. X was telling tlie Governor this very morning that it was an absolute shame that the workmen, who did all the hard labor, shonld fare no better than wo who sit so much of the time in the bouse earning little or nothing, and I am determined hereafter to set two tables j tlie first and the hot for the workmen, i and the last "and 'poorest for the GovI ernor and invsf."
