keep her in Aourishing condition. The history
of certain towns in California teach this lesson.

made our statements from the best information

nies that be has changed his views or principles
in regard to the maintenance of the Union of all
the States, and their right to representation by
loyal men, and that in so doing be, like PreSi,
dent Johnson, is carrying out the true Union
principles Of President Lincoln. When the issue
was fairly presented to the country by the Phil
adelphia Convention, Mr.. Moore assures US that
be did not hesitate 10 declare for the Administrs-
ton as against fAnatieal, disunion Congress.
10 fact, be says, be could not do differently with
the views he had ever maintained In regard to
the Union aud the constitntiou. We have no de-

UNION TERRITORIAL CONvENTIoN.-At
a meeting Of the Union Central Committee,
held at Olympia, December 29th, the follow
ing resolutions we're adopted
RssOlued, lst. That the next Union Convention,
for the nomination Of Delegate to Congress, be
held at Vancouver, Clark county, on Tuesday,
April 18th, 1867.
I'd. That the basis Of representation in the
Convention, from each county in the Territory,
be upon the ratio of reRresen atives to the House
Of Representatives.
There is evidently mistake in either the
day or date for the meeting of the COnven'
lion, but not knowing the intention of
the Committee, we give the resolution
as it appears in the Tribune. The re-
publicans are evidently determined to be ear
ly in the field, and as we are informed by
letters from below, their intention is to make
a thorough canvass Of the Territory. We
are further advised that the feeling on the
Sound is almost unit in favor of the nomi'
nation of Judge Wyche as the republican
candidate.

Washington, Jan. 2.-In view of the repeated

thou0h all coupon bonds of the Government are
issued payable TO bearer, so that they will pay
by delivery, or are good although lost or stolen
from the hands of lawful holders, the case is
different with .thirties, which are issued
iu blank, but with the words ''or order" instead
Of ITO bearer" inserted on their face. So long
as a seven thirty note remains thus in blank, it
passes by delivery like a coupon bond, and a
bona fde purchaser for value collect the
sum. notwith standing it has been lost or stolen;
but in case a holder of a seven thirty bond fills
the blank space with his own name, the note
then becomes his property, payable to him or
order, and he cannot therefore be deprived Of
his title by any loss of larceny any more than
the holder of check or draft, payable to his
order and this is the law, Notwithstanding his
name may have been so skillfulIy erased by acid
or otherwise as 10 leave no trace Of his name, if
the original holder of the note can prove clearly
that his hame was once written on the face of
