Sixth Council District

Incur last issue We stated TIA, r.,
Reeder, contrary to the wishes of a l,,.
majority of the voters IN the Sixth D;g,;S
had given certificate Of election to M.
Conway. in preference to Mr.. John Do,
aldson, who was duly elected, as the ?.
turns show. Gov. Reeder was anx;on,
that his abolition protege, should have ,
seat IN the Legislature, and as no lec,l
way presented itself to accomplish that r.
suit. he took the responsibility of throw;,o
out the votes of the precincts which gave
Mr.. Donaldson majority, and receiyip,
only those where Conway was ahead. H.
objects 10 the manner of voting at the Ma.
ry'sville precinct, because the ballots, be.
fore being placed in the lex, were regis.
tered as to who they were for thus ma.
king the voting doubly sure. for in that in.
stance if a mans vote was contested !,
would be only necessary to refer to the poll
books TO see who the Illegal vote was cast
for, it could then be thrown ont.
The truth of the matter is. Recder il
politically dishonest, utterly incapable Of
administering the government ilnpartially;
To advance his own interests, we believe
he would stoop to the mcanest acts of ia.
roritism, would willingly sacrifice the les,
interests Of the Territory. to serve himself
or his minions. Mr.. Donaldson will con.
test the right of Mr.. Conway to his seat in
the Legislature, and if must be known BY
all. that he will get it, GovernorReeder
to the contrary notwithstanding.

cannot let this opportunity slip by without
saying something of another mercantile &C.
lebrity Of the United States, viz: Stephen
Girard. This man was born in village near
the banks of the Garonne. He was the son
of peasant and had left his own country as
a common sailor. Having gradually risen to
the post OF second mate, he came as such to
Philadelphia, where he remained and opened
tavern on the banks of the Delaware for
such of his countrymen as were engaged in
the West India trade, particularly that with
st. Domingo. The revolution in st. Domin-
go caused an emigration which continually
brought him fresh customers, and, having
built some small vessels to bring his fugitive
countrymeu away in safety from the island,
he bartered flour and meal for coffee, until his
capital, which had been scarcely worth men.
tioning at first, gradually increased, and ena-
bled him to build larger vessels, and extend
his spirit of enterprise in all directions. His
frusality bordered on avarice. Sailors fare
was to him the best, and the freghting of
vessels his favorite pursuit. The success that
attended his exertions at length became un-
exampled for he never hs his ships insured,
but always chose skilful ID experienced cap
tains, thus saving himself the heavy expense
Of taking out insurance policies, and contin-
ued acting on this principle, gradually in
creasing his capital more and more, until it
had finally sweled to an enormous amount
llliterate, as a French common sailor must
needs be, and scarcely able to write his own
name, he called all his ships after the great
authors of his native cou,4 yy, and thus en-
joyed the sensation Of beholding the Ameri-
can flag waving above Monlesquieu, a Vol
taire, Helvetius, aud Jean Jacques Rous-
seau. His ships, which he was in the habit
of sending successfully to the island of Maui
ritus, at that time the Isle de France, to Call
cutta and Canton, and each of which, cost
from forty to sixty thousand dollars, brought
back eargoes worth from one to two hundred
thousand dollars, to Philadelphia, and thence
to Europe, particularly to Messrs. Hopes Co.,
at Amsterdam, and We're never insured Re-
markable good fortune attended all these en-
terprlses. Until the year 1915 not one Of
his ships was ever lost or captured. It will
be easy to form an idea of the amount Of cap
ital accumulated by this saving of Insurance
premiums, when one reflects that the latter
went as high as from ten to fifteen, and even
twenty per cent.
