of certain act, hut omits the first, which
knocks the entire foundation from its position.
Here are both sections as they stand in the
book -

Representatives of the United States of Amcr-

may be lawful for the President of the United
States, to cause so much of any Territory be-

CAXDlnAvE FOR DElEG NrE.-It IS now general
Is understood about st. Paul. that Capt. Wilkin.
the late Secretary of the Territory. will be the
Wing Candidate for Delegate to Congress. If
this is decided upon. We think the Wings have
10y no means displayed their usual sayacty.-
Col. Wilcox. Of saltwater, would have been {,
much stronger candidate.-Pioncer.
Without stopping to notice the snccr thrown
out at that old veteran Wing, Col. Wilcox, we
merely wish to state that all parties presume.
as a matter of course, there will be an oppose
ton candidate to Mr. Rice. The people oppos-
cd to that gentleman have resolved to give him
chase. The name of Captain Wilkin has been
freely mentioned in connection Herewith but
he will only consent to run in case such course
meets the attire appreciation of Mr. Ricc's OPP
poncnts throughout the Territory. In the coun-
ties west of the Mississippi and in Ramsey.
there is at this time, far as we can learn after
dil;gcnt inquiry. no other person save the Cap
tain who will consent to become 4 candidate
under any circumstances, nor is there likely to
be. This is the way the political game stands

THE LAST M,N.'-Wc have often heard allu-
sion made by its members to the association
referred to below. The remarks we copy are
from a late number of the Cincinnati Gazette ::
NEARLY twcntyscvcn years ago seven young
men of this city. then in the carly flush of man
hood, entered into an association for an annual
meeting and supper 50 long as any of their
number should survive. These seven were Dr.
Waiter. Dr. James NJ. Mason. William Stans-
bury, William Disney. jr., Henry L. Tatcm. Jo-
Scph Il. Mason. and Fcnton Lawson. For scvc-
raj years the pleasure Of their meeting was I'M
alleged with sorrow 10y death. In 1889, one
vacant scat and one unused plate announced
the beginning of the wreck which Death was
sure at last to make of all their number. BY
and by second empty plate bore its quiet tes-
timony to the stern reality Of the relentlesSncss
OF the grave. Soon but four met at the annual
commemoration. and another unoccupied chair
told its silent story. A year or two longer, and
the dead were more than the living. three sur

Their. Fcnton Lawson, swclls the triumph of the
grave. Next October. DR.. Waiter and Henry
Tatcm will meet alone if death is not too ur-
gent, and how sadly and solcmnly, as they look
upon the memorials ofthcir departed associates
will they mentally agtatc the question which,
of the two will finally sit solitary in the sha-
dowy presence of the dead, and say TO the
