,ions from the opinion. that the Court,
after stating the question it was about
TO decide ~ marncr too plain to be
understood, proceeded TO decide il. and
announced, AS the opinion Of the tribe
nal that in organizing the judicial Dc
par.neht Of the Government in Terri
tory Of the United States, Congress docs
no, az; under. and is not restricted by,
the third article in the Constitution, and
is not bound, in Territory, to ordain
and establish courts in which the judges
hold their Offices during good behavi or.
but may exercise the discretionary pow
( ct which a State exercises in establish
ing It's judicial department, and regula-
ting the jurisdiction of its courts. aLd
may authorize the Territorial Govern
mcut 10 cstat' sb. OF !. may itself estab-
li-lt, courts in which the Judges hold
their Offices for term OF years only
and may vest in them Judicial power
upon subjects confded TO the Judiciary Of
the United States. and in doing this, Con
gress undoubtedly exercises the com IN
Cd power OF the General and State vov-
ernncn,. II exercises the discretionary
power Of State Government in author
lzing the establishment of court IN
which the Judges bold their appointments
Tor u term OF Yeas only, and not during
good hehas ior and i, exercises the
power Of the General Government in in
ves.ing that court with admiralty jnris-
dictiun, over which the General Govern
meut had exclusive jurisdiction ia the
Territory.
No one. We presume, will question
the correctness Of that opinion nor ~
there anything in conflc, with II % ,ha
opinion now given
How now
Mr. Pugh--i do not think tha. helps
you any.
M Bcpiamin--The Congress Of the
United States has the discretionary pow
o. Of "a State in the Territories The
Congress of the United St..tes has tho
nndpuh.cd power 30 govern the Terrific
ries. as they are called.
Mr pugh-Thc Senator surely knows
that thu decision does not say that. II
says Congress has that power IN tn" es-
tahiishmont # courts, and conferrihK
admiralty jurisdiction. That very par
aeraph 10 tauter's case was debated N
the Senate four years ago, between tho
Senator from illinois Nj Trumbnii) aud
the Senator from Michigan Gea. Casa
The Comets at entlon was drawn to H.
Mr. Benjamin. Courts attention
