We thought that we knew them llso--but t is very easy to .be ,,,s;,;s 4 regar. 10 ise opinions of great men. Fe did think that the cen sis.cnt Delegate was perfectly eontented with the appointment of TAomas I. Esk- ridge as Judge, and with his continuance in the olice-butwe suppose that we were mistaken. We do not believe, now, that the Delegate had any hand in noniiiii't- inc hin, or else we believe that there is no man in the Territory equally competent and faitlfiil' with thai notable nonresident expounder of the law-or else We believe that it is .sno fault' of tie Delegate, that he retains his office. In short, We believe any thing about t, which the Delegate re- ouires us to believe. The s.sentimentsn of the Delegate cannot nave changed. Rot at all; he Is always consistent--and it was precisely the same principle which prompt ed him to obtain the appointment of the nonresident T.s& RIpGE--and to disap- prove ttlIls apPe;s,sess apPe:;;.ss,sess of the nonresident LACEY, the equally talented and honest man.

But, until shall be furnished with that indispensable information, there is no hope of getting any other bill passed, than the one enclose you. The Delegate from Michigan IS similarly situated"

 Another letter, written on the afternoon of the 18th, says-s' wrote you this morn- ing, that had not been able to obtain an official abstract of the census of Arkansas. Since then I have been handed letter of Gov. Pope to Col. Johnson, containing the information wanted. So far as it respects form, il Is not exactly right, but t will
