| SELECTED FOR THE WHEELING INTELLIGEEcER.1
[FrOm the Concord IN. H.) DemOcratl
1t was in 1907 that King James of Great Bri-
tain granted to what was called The london
Company, tract of territory commencing 1t old
Point Comfort and running two hundred miles
North, thence west to the western ocean, in a
southern direction, the line ran two hundred
miles South of old Point Comfort, and thence
West to the western ocean. If the teruis of this
conveyance were to be reckoned by geographic
cal miles it would bring the Northern line to
latitude 40 degs 80 min; if the calculation we're
oy English miles it would fall somewhat short
OF ~ degs. In this case it would embrace but
trfe over one-fourth of the Northwestern ter.
ritory.
1t may here be remarked that when this grant
was made, nothing was known of this Western
territory. Subsequent events have shown that
the cledit of its discovery is due to the French
missionaries from Canada, which fact inyalIdates
the claim of the London Company, obtained as
it was under the British crown. The policy pur-
sued by the London Company was SO at vari-
ance with the views of the government that
their charter was taken from them in 1920
Virginia was the Legitimate representative of
the London Company. If those who boast of
the immense liberality of Virginia in aiding that
part OF the territory lying within the boundaries
OF their charter could establish just claim to
any part of that territory, it would mitigate the
character of their Boosting somewhat
think it was Father Hennepin who discov-
cred the Falls of Niagara, in sos or in 1885,

ment made at Vincennes, on the Wabash. Not
long after, there was another permanent loca.
ton made at Kaskaskia, on a river of the same
lame in Illinois. About the same time stations
we're formed Mt Detroit, at Mackinaw and Mt
ouquesne. Ibelieve it is an established law of
nations, that they who first discover and hold
interrupted possession, are the bona idle own
;rs of a country. 1t was the French who dis.
covered the Northwestern territory, and cnioyed
luiet possession of it till the war Of 1866. This
%ar between the French and English, resulted
n the conquest of Canada, and was followed bv
the treaty of 1853. at which time Canada. MS
well as the Northwestern territory, was ceded
by the French to the English These facts
considered, what shadow of a Claim had yirei-
MIA to said territory Especially after all mat
tiers had been adjusted by the treaty of l769.-I
The British government gave instructions to the
colonial governors to make no grants OF lands
lying West of the head springs which discbar~
ged their waters into the Atlantic

If so, Virginia can claim nothing more than her

A man named Mullen was hung for murder
in New Orleans on the goth ult. He was
singular individual and had queer fancies. On
the day of his execution he was in a cheerful
mood, and eat hearty breakfast, some of
which, not being cooked to his liking, he sent
back to the kitchen to be done over. The night
previous he arranged his coffin, which he had
decorated, and laid down in it, to see that it
would be a comfortable last resting-place for
his body. He appeared smiling on the scaffold
and dressed in white with blue ribbon around
his neck. When the drop fell he died speedily
and without pain.
