Legislative officers were elected in 1967, nearly all of both branches being Republicans. In only one County (Yavapai) was there a party contest, and there the members chosen were upon a straight Democratic platform. On the 1st of December the capital was removed from Prescott to Tucson. In 1866, Coles Bashford was elected Delegate to Congress; he had 1,009 votes to 518 for Posten and 168 for Adams. There was no strictly party contest. UTAH.

Holbrook, Dem., was chosen by about 850 majority, and both branches of the Legislature were strongly Democratic. NEW PURCHASES. TERRITORY OF ALIASKA. Aliaska,, or Russian America, purchased in 1867, for $7,200,000 in gold, and was formally delivered to the United States Government on the 18th day of October. This territory extends from the north line of British Columbia in 54° 40', whence the line ascends Portland Channel to the Mountains, following their summits, nearly parallel with the coast, to the 141st meridian, thence along that meridian to the Arctic 59 Ocean; the west line returns from some un464 known point in that ocean, down through Beh1ring Strait, thence diagonally west of St. Lawrence Island, to longitude 193° (or 167° east), 195 and thence on the line of latitude to the place of 260 beginning. The peninsula of Aliaska, and the long line of islands reaching nearly to Kamschatka, are included. There are about 6,000 Russians in the Territory, and probably 50,000 Indians. 42 1 708 142 Washington. 1813 81 604 Lafayette. 560 72 931 1027 731 150 Total. 33047 21207 7531 * In these counties 327 the figures show the 716 total registry without 391 division by color. DAKOTA. The Dakota Territorial election, Oct. 8, was carried by the Republicans, who elect a majority of the Legislature. In Laramie County (Cheyenne, &c.), 1,552 votes were polled, electing J. R. Whitehead to the Legislature, and J. S. Casement to Congress, the latter as a delegate in the interest of a separate Territorial organization. WEST INDIA ISLANDS. Arrangements have been made (but not confirmed by Congress) for the cession to the United States of the Dani hislands of St. Thomas and St. John's, the consideration being about the same as that for Russian America. The King of Denmark leaves the question ultimately to the people of the islands, who are to decide by ballot on or about the 18th of January, 1868. It is presumed that their vote will be in favor of the cession. St. Thomas is 12 miles long and about 3 wide; area 27 square miles; population about 14,000; the capital is Charlotte-Amalie, where seven-eighths of the population reside. St. John has an area of 22 square miles, and about 2,500 inhabitants. 326 1 421.. 705 662 49 230. 447 470 4 280.. 810 445 13 Caldwell 449 229 Camden.. 700 503 83 9 8 42 13 Total .57359 18635..44990 48539 2701 75 61 24 39.. 46.75 50.44 2.81 Per cent In 1867, whole number registered, 174,717, of whom 103,060 were whites, and 71,657 were col ored.
