which the appointment rnrports to be mate
We are we'll pleased with this
on the part Of our Delegate, and
that when tao Navy bill comes II
will submit similar motion. Its Jus.
t'ce aud propricty will b. conceded by
all, when they learn that although one
cadet, il not two, and three midshipuen,
have been appointed as coming from
Iowa since its territorial organization.
yet none Of them ever resided in our
Territory, II, indeed, they ever saw it.
We state nothing but facts. Cadet
GARDNER, adopted and recommended as
citizen d, Iowa by our former Delegate,
was al the time d resident Of the District
Of Columbia; and we think, but are not
sure, that we have seen in the printed
list the name Of another cadet as coming
from Iowa. IN the Navy, we find in the
lis. OF MidshiPnen, the names Of ED
WARD c.. Stout, CHARLES WApDLE, and
FRANCIS S. CoNovER,. all set down as citi.
zens OF Iowa, and oil appointed in
1870 upon the recommendation OF our
former Delegate. Mr.. Stout; at the time
Of his appointment, was citizen Of
Connecticut, and Mr.. Conover citizen
Of Pennsylvania. Mr.. Waddell is set
down in the Navy Register as citizen
OF Iowan Mt the time Of his appointment;
bu. this IS doubtless an imposition, as lie
is entirely unknowa amongst US.
These appointments, let it DO borne in
za,ind, were made to the exclusion Of an
equal number OF sctua residents Of Iowa;
and it is Of this we complain. We have
among US many young men Of merit and
promise, who woad gladly have accepted
these appointments had they known the
Territory to be entitled to thc,n-a fact
Of which the Delegate could not have
been ignorant. As the injustice done
them cannot be nov repaired, the only
thing that can be done is to guard agains,
its repetition; and 10 do this is the object,
rs doubtless will bvihe effect, Of Gent

his article has been found in large shipments
TO France, where il will be manuiact urcd into
Soap ard Oils; and we hope this adventure
may turn ont 80 favorably to induce our new
