good, fat job, and one which We have no
reason to believe any attorney liz the Ter
riiory would not have been glad to have
taken. In fact We have been told that n
friend of Mr.. Gariiclde suggested his name
to the Company for the business, but that
it preferred Mr.. Clark.
We are informed upon good authority
that Mr.. Clarks connection with the ii.
b. Co. ceased when the purpose above
mentioned for which he had been en-
ployed, was accomplished, but even were
he retained generally. for the purpose Of
transacting all it's legal business, and pro-
fessionally interested in obtaining the
largest bonus possible for the Company, it
could not be shown that he, in his capaci-
ty Of Delegate TO Congress, could effect
their claims one way or the other, for
those claims arc questions Of fact, to be
determined by board Of three Commits

ing to tho evidence before them. When
tho amounts due. if anything, are thus as.
certained, it will only remain for Congress
to say whether or not it will make the ap-
preparation requisi to to liquidate them.
Mr.. Clark is, we believe, the largest pro-
perty holder upon the premises involved,
aud is. therefore, interested in procuring
titles for himself and the other occupants
of those lands upon terms az liberal as arc
granted to settlers in other parts of the
Territory. The Journals of our Territorial
Legislature show that he has, by memo
rializing the General Government, en-.
deavored to accomplish that end, and since
his personal interests and those Of the
public, combine to induce him to do So,
there is every reason to believe that he
would exert his influence as Delegate in
Congress to cxtinguish the H. B. Co.'S
claims ata reasonable figure.
