The Territory of Columbia.


,Walatwe have always known assthe
a District of Columbia, ,,has been. chang
edbythe Congress ofthe United States
into the Territory Of; Columbia, and
among the most brilliant triumpHs OF
Grants administration must be reckoned
the organization of1this new Territory,
with it's Governor, Legislature, and the
imposing array of high dignitaries who
have been selected to conduct the impor-
tant affairs of the cities of Washington
and Georgetown, and the little patch Of
ground formerly known as the District
of Columbia. The government of the
Territory seems to have been modelled
upon the system pursued in the recon
struction ofSouth Carolina and other late
ly rebelhous States. Fred Douglass,
the big nigger of this glorious Union
was imported from his home in Roches-
ter, N: Y, to give responsibility to the
concern. But Douglass soon became
disgusted with his pilferipg associates,
and, with his carpet-bag in his ha:
took new departure for his legitimate
home. The new Territory commences
life with a debt of between three and
four millions of dollars, win che Terri,
torial authorities propose to Immediately
increase until it reaches proportions com
mensurate with their magnificent ideas
Of Territorial government. In the mean
time the tax-paying citizens of Column
bia are, uttering unpatriotie howls con-
cerning jobs, rings, and extravaganza.

the rate of interest actually obtained to

Ilu-EiIu1 Committee.
IRON the IEasAa,qtoas Patriot. |

From tie ItoShtagto1 Potriot.
Tie subcommittee of investigation now
sitting here, suddenly decided to send
three of their number to North and South
Carolina, although there is no mere rca-
son for going there than 10 ether parts oi
thc South, which have been misrepre-
stnted in tic same way. This movement
was instigated by Mr.. Pool, of North
arolina, and Ex-Governor Holden, who
nay be regarded as the two men, Of all
others, who have been most active in Will
wing the character of the State, whose
GOOD name they dishonor as natives, and
most vindictive in prosecuting their
political opponents In fact, the commit
Tee has, in the conduct Of this investiga.
ion, been little else than the instruments oi
personal malice and partisan vengeance.
Pool and Holden We're both violent Con-
.ederates, and the latter, through his pa
]cr, was one Of the most blatant advo-
-ates of secession for twenty years. He
adhered 10 it during the war, until sue
less OF the Union army began 10 be GER
;ain, and then, with Pool and other ira
;ers he turned his coat, and they all
shouted as loudly for The Union as they
lad before done in its denunciation. As
sooa as President Lincoln's proclamation
appeared, Pool wrote. to his agent order
.ns all his negroes TO be sold. That pre-
.!ous document still exists, as a proof Of
lis affection for a race which he now
courts with the lowest arts OF disgusting
iattery.
We advise our friends in North and
South Carolina 10 be prepared for the
'orAing CT this committee, consisting OF
Senator Scott, Mr.. Stevenson and Mr. Van
Trump They will leave Washington
tomorrow evening, and have doubtless
prepared, through the connivance of Pool,
Holden, and men Of the same stripe, a
class of ready made witnesses, such as
aave been produced here. Let them be
-net everywhere By the best citizens, and
with calm, but decided insistance upon
the tairest and fullest investigation.
