The passing Of such IN act believe would only tend
to comphcste matters in the Territory already TOO
much complicated. Believing that the people oil

law il would have been regarded as purely parti'
san movement and the elections under would have
besn participated in by the sdherents of of the
political parties only, and not by the whole people OF
The Territory In this respect all the objections that
have been urged against other movements of the kind
would have been urged against this, and the result
would have been renewal If the difficulties and trou

II is proper to observe that even had the bill never
been sent until Wednesday, that it still would be
law. az the Organic act requires that bills must be
returned rthis three days. On this subject high
legal authority says .,,..
In general if the thing is TO be done rthln atme,
After sucb time after such fact the day of the fact
shall be taken sRciuareiy.
In anv case it is rather small business tor the
Governor to engage in, to refuse to accept OIL
under the suppOstiOn that he could thus pocket u
to refuse to return it, when it would have passed
over his Veto His conduct will merely cOmphcate
matters still further, and is the best evidence we
could have that the Government agents here do not
rant a peaceable solution of the question.
