The popular branch of Congress on Monday last passed a bill utdtr a sus- pensionof tbe rules sdmitting New Mcxioo Into the sisterhood of States by the overwhelming vote cf 167 to 3, and like bill admitting Arizona was passed 75 to 12, The admission of new States has be : me entirely a question of practical politics, ard Nevada with 45,000 popu lation, being less than the population of some single wards in this city, hasall tbe dignity of Statehood. Wyoming was admitted by tbe last Congress with 01 ly 60,000 population,while New Mex ico with 153,000 was refused admission. The n< g-o in the wood-pile in these c .ses is the fact that Idaho votes r publican while in New Mexico v< tea Democratic. A Republican Con gress njeoted Arizona and New Mexi- c > ltgaudess of population, and admit ted Idaho and Wyoming simply because they could thereby secure United States Senators and additional Republican E ectoral votes. There is no likelihood of tbe Senate passing the House bills admitting Ari zena and New Mexioo for the simple reason that the Senate is Republican, and the House would not have passed base bills had it not been Democratic The creation of States has, therefore, become a mere matter of practical puli f-ics, end the only way frr Arizona and New Mexico to get into the Union is for them to turn in and vote Republi can, and wait foi a Republican Con gress, or remain Democratic and unit for a Democratic- Cor gress. They will net be admitted at present simply be cause their politics don’t harmonize with tbe dominant power of the nation.

Tbe Chicago Tribune loses its head over the passage of tbe Hatch bill in the hoase, and condemns it as “one of the most outrageous attempts ever made in a iree country to inteifere with the lib erty of the citizen and the cause of com merce.” Our readers know very well that the Hatch bill does not propose to interfere with the course! of commerce, but on the contrary directly serves its interests by prohibiting the gambling operations which place commerce in food crops and cotton upon a fictitious or purely spec ulative basis. But the pretense that it interferes with the liberty cf tbe citizen to -up- press this species of gambling is r:d culous in tbe extreme. The Tribune and other stalwart republican organs never have a word to say about tbe lib erty of the citizen unless the northern negro is involved. They have seen the advanoe of centralizstionand paternal ism without a protest. They have seen the average poor man taxed into pover ty, and left with scarcely moie liberty than a serf, without saying a word bis behalf, but the moment it is pro posed to check the gamblers of Wall street these mouthpieces of plutocracy raise a howl. We are for the liberty of the citizen, but liberty must be regulated bylaw, Liberty to do wrong is the right of no man, and so long as our government lends its mighty influence to tbe anp prpssion of gambling in the South through tbe medium of the lottery, it is in duty bound ter array itself against gambling in the north, even when it takes the respectable shape of options and futures aimed at in the Hatch bill This is tbe sum and substance of the whole bo8lne8?.
