Ramsay Crooks.

Died, in New York City, on the 7th in
slant, RAMSAY Crooks, Esq. In making
this announcement we chronicle the death Of
no ordinary man, but Of one the greater
part OF whose existence Of more than three
score and ten years, has been intimately
connected with the history Of the northwest,
and who had personally witnessed more
changes in that region. than perhaps any
man now living.
Mr.. CRooKs was Q native OF Scotland, but
emigrsted to the home Of his adoption be.
fore be had attained the age Of manhood
He was singled out from among many 9th
ers, by the late JoHN JAcoB AsroR, 80 well
known for his keen perception Of character,
and placed BY him in positions Of trust, which
are seldom conferred upon 20 young man.
He continued his business relations with
Mr.. AsroR for many years. In 1910, Mr..
Crooks was one Of party who were des-
patched overland to the Columbia River to
explore the route across the continent, and
then in connection with another party who
were to proceed BY SEQ, to establish trad.
ing station at:the mouth ofthat noted stream.
To Mr.. AsroR's tArseeing ssgacity, aided by
the energy Of such men ss RAMSEY Crooks
and his companions, is the country mainly
indebted for the possession Of the magnif
cent country now composing the State Of
Oregon and the Territory Of Washington; for
although the previous visit Of Capt GREY
IVES relied upon as the basis Of the claim Of
oar government by discovery, yet the occu-
patton Of Astoria by the partners and EN-.
ployees OF JoRx JAooB AsroR was fixed
fact, and constituted the real presumption
right" OF first settlement on the northern
coast Of the Pacific. When the establish
meut was surrendered to the British during
the war Of 1872. Mr.. CRooks returned TO
New York. and thenceiorth until 1884. he
Was employed BY Mr.. Asros O. the chief
agent Of the " American Fur Company :"
an association which comprised more capital
and whose operations were extended over .
greater region Of country than perhaps any
other that Was ever formed In the United
States In 1884. Mr.. AsroR retired from
the concern, transferring his interest to Mr.,

trade, bat 90 much more limited scale in

The Detroit Free Press, 10 commenting
upon the action Of the Black Republicans, in
the matters Of the rights Of foreign born cit
liens, says that at the same time that the
Black Republicans Of Connecticut are pro-
posing that the people Of foreign birth shall
reside in the State one year after naturalixa-
tion before being admitted to vote, they are
advocating an amendment to the State Con.
stitution whereby the distinction Of color in
the qualification Of electors, shall be abol.
ished
At the same time that the Black Repub.
licans Of Massachusetts have so amended the
State Constitution that people Of foreign
birth must reside in the State two years af-
ter naturalization before they can vote, they
sustain that provision Of the same constitu-
ton which admit negroes to vote on the
same terms as white native American citi-
zens
At the same time that the Black Repub-
licaus Of New York have proposed, by reso-
luton in their last State Convention, that
there ought to be an interval between nat
uralzation and voting, they sustain that
provision Of the State Constitution which
admit negroes to vote who own property
to the value Of two hundred and fifty dol.
lars
At the same time that the Black Repub-
licans Of New Jersey, by the recommends
ton Of their Governor, and by resolution Of
their last State Convention, have taken
ground in favor Of an interval between nat.
uralization and voting, they subscribe to all
the abolition doctrines concerning negro
equality.
At the same time that the Black Repub-
licans in the last Michigan Legislature
voted for proposition to admit negroes to
vote on the property qualification Of two
hundred and fifty dollars, they UNANIMOUSLY
voted against proposition. brought for
ward by Democrat, to admit unnatural
lied foreigners TO vote on the same terms
At the same time that the Black Repub-
leans in all the Northern States have made
movements in favor Of eevating the negroes
to oil the rights Of citizenship enjoyed ty
white native Americans, they have not any
where made any movement in favor Of nego-
tiating the terms upon which foreigners are
admitted to vote.
These are stubborn facts. The Black Re
publican party Is IS hostile to people of for.
eign birth, except when it wants their votes,
as it is devoted in its friendship for negroes.
Its policy, from the beginning, has been to ell.
evate negroes and degrade foreigners. And
this will continue to be its policy, because q
majority Of its members are Know Nothings
in principle and practice.
1t is most amusing spectacle to see peo-
pie Of foreign birth acting and voting with
this Black Republican K now Nothing party.

The third charge, that Gov. SHELLEY de-

shown the original charge 70 be On which
this latter b based. Gov. SrsLEY entered
the former canvass against bis wishes, and
in Difference only to the unanimous demand
Of his party throughout the State. He &C
cepted the nomination for Governor with
the distinct understanding that be would
hold the Office only for single term. He
adberes to bis original determination. He
has earned the right to enjoy the repose Of
private life. A quarter Of century Of I'M
selfish devotion to the interests Of the pio-
neer settlers on the frontier. in public as
well as private life, has gained him q fair
immunity from further service in official
station. He dos not need the emoluments
Of place, and he has the right to be freed
from its engrossing cares and its thankless
responsibilities. He win retire from the
Office Of Governor at the close Of his term,

by any unmanly act, and with a reputation
for administrative ability which will not be

publicsns Of Pennsylvania have promised
the Know Nothings, that they will aid in
the degradation Of foreign born citizens in
that State, ss they have in Massachusetts,,
