A memorial on that subject has beei sent to us by the Legislature of the Territory. Of course that is not athing we can depend upon conclusively. but it is. nevertheless. information that justifies action when it is sustained by the fact that we know that the population in 1870 was 90.000. that it increased from 1850 to 1860 at the rate of 50 er cent. in those ten years. and it certainly has increased at the same rate within the last ten years. We know this to be so. because we know outside that the tide of immigration pouring into that Territory is now and has been very large for some years.
