Territorial, Officers.


We most heartily commend the action
Of the Territorial Delegates in Congress
In protesting against the appointment
ofcarpet-bag politicians to fill the Off
ces in the Territories, as simple rewards
for party services, and with little or no
regard to the personal character OF the
appointees. The Territories Of the Uni
ted States have come to be regarded as
mere colonies or dependencies of the
General Government, instead of integral
portions of the United States, in the pos
session of. American citizens who have
in theory the inherent right Of self-gov-
ernment, and who are by the Constitu-
tntion guaranteed in all the rights and
privileges in every portion Of the Union
secured to them in any other portion of
the Union. The right of citizens to self
government and to regulate their own
domestic affairs, is an inherent and in
aIienable right. The right of the Fed
eral Government to exercise exclusive
Legislative Judicial and Executive au-
thcrity over the citizens of the organized
Territories is an assumed or usurped
authority unwarranted by any specific
or constructive grant of power to the
Federal Government. It originated in
prudential concessions by the people of
tie Territories for corresponding advan-
tages, and like all popular concessions
of personal rights to power, has resulted
in the most fragrant abuses. No such
thing as Territorial Government is in
the letter or purview of the Constitu-
ton or in any of the early Ordinances
relating to territory outside the limits
Of the organized States. That clause
in the Constitution-the only one which
gives Congress any control over the
territories-applies with equal force
to the public domain within the States
-sto make all needful rules and regula-
tions respecting the territories and other
property of the United States" Unless
the people in the Territories are chattels
sf the General Government, they have
on the reserved rights of the citizens
of the States. That the people of these
Territories are regarded by the Federal
authorities as property is manifest from
the fact that less regard is paid to their
choice of rulers than is conceded by
the Imperial Government to the inhab-
itants of its penal colonies.

Ice IN 1nE CoLuMp1A.-Fears are
entertained that the Columbia river win
again be closed up by ice. On Saturday
and Sunday last, ice was making rapidly
and II Is doubtful if communication is
now open to Vancouver. It will prob
ably prevent the passage of the boats to
Monticello, in which event we shall
suffer another mail famine - -
MORE LOGS SEIzED.-Capt. Tuttle
has been worrying the loggers again.
On the recent cruise of the Lircly, men
toned by us some days ago, he seized a
boom containing 1926. 900 feet Of logs
nedr Tacoma. Loggers must have q
care how they trespass on timber
patches that don't belong to them.
GoxE BEIow.-ATr. D. Phillips, the
venerable Seattle banker, and Gen. W.
W. Miller. of Olympia, went below in
the Sound steamer, on Sunday night,
to take the next steamer from Victoria
for San Francisco. Mr.. Philips con-
templates remaining in California
several months. Gen. Miller will prob
ably return in about thirty days.
CONC TO EURoPE.-Ben Holladay
left Portland, on Saturday last. for
Europe via. the Atlantic States. He
will be absent several months.
The WooLLEN FAcToRY.-We are
grad to learn that there is good pros
pect of a woollen factory in Pierce
county being:put in operation early in
the coming spring. A capitalist in San
francisco, we are informed has signi-
fed his readiness to purchase it on GER
tain terms, and his proposition has
been accepted. He will probably take
possession in few days, and proceed
to take steps atonce to ooperate it. This
will result in great benefit to that
county, and cannot but prove prof.
table investment to the San Francisco
gentleman.

Of it, the cold WAS 20 intense. When
the accident WAS discovered Dr.. Gregory
was sent for. and by his judicious treat-

he had a laborious and difficult task.
Mr.. Domville then took the saf erncon

the junction only reaching st. John at
9 o'clock this morning. He was suffer-
ing very much.
The above item which we clip from a

show better than all the meteorological
tables, the wide difference between the
climate ON the Atlantic and Pacific
Coasts. The lowest range of the NOR

above zero. It is rare to see an over

Foreign Born Presidents.

The Constitution of the United States
expressly prohibits any person Of foreign
birth from holding the Office of Presi-
dent or Vice President. Yet in view of
we'll attested facts, there can be no rea-
sonable doubt that two of the most dis
tinguished and thoroughly American
Presidents the country has ever had
were of foreign birth and parentage; the
first being born in England and the 9th
er in Ireland. The fact is incidentally
mentioned in an article on Marvellous
Condolences, on our outside, that Mr..
Harvey, in investigating the history of
the Washington family, traced the ped
igree of George Washington through the
indisputable channel of parish registers,
TO the record of his birth, which appears
duly attested in parish register in En-
gland previous to the emigration of his
parents to America. This testimony
would be conclusive of the fact in any
suit involving the rights of property or
legitimacy of children.
To us, the proof that Andrew jackson
was born in Ireland. though resting up
On personal testimony, is equally con-
elusive. Mrs. Letitia McHugh, nee Bra
dy, an aunt of the late Judge Brady, of
New York, came from Ireland to Ameri-
ca with the family of her son, the father
in-law of the editor of this paper, in
1882. This lady was then nearly eighty
years of age. but in the full possession
of her mental faculties and remarkable
for a retentive memory and her physical
and intellectual vigor for one of her age.
She was born and reared in the same
parish in Ireland from which the family
Of Andrew Jackson emigrated to Ameri-
ca some seventy years before, when she
was about ten years of age. She knew
the jackson family intimately, and re-
collected distinctly the names, number
and ages of the children at that time,
and stated positively that Andrew. the
third child, was two years old at the
time they left Ireland. She was very
certain that this was not case of mis-
taken identity, for the reason that the
family was heard of in Ireland after set
Ting in North Carolina, regularly until
communication was closed by the war
of the Revolution. The account of the
family related by the old lady cores
ponded in every particular with the gen.
erally received history of that family,
except in the singular particular of the
birthplace of Andrew, and she was as
certain of. that fact, from her own per-
sonal knowledge, as of any which proved
the existence of that family. The old
lady's statement, with us admits of no
doubt. ..s
These facts are only interesting as
curiosities in the histories of some of
oar. greatest men, and showing how little
regard is paid to birth or pedigree in
the presence of.true manhood.
