ELECTORAL VoTEs.--Mr. GreeIey's

have absolved the Presidential Electors

respective electoral votes in the states
named. Georgia three votes for Gree

Charles Jenkins. Kentucky gave eight
to Thomas Hendricks, and four to
Gratz Brown. Marylani gave her eight
votes to Hendricks. Missouri gave six

pending before the Secretary of the, In
terror upon appeal from the Commits
sioner of the General Land Office.
A letter has recently been filed in the
Secretary's Office by James McNaught,
as the attorney for some of the contest
ants, in which he tells the Honorable
Secretary of the Interior, if his lMc-
Naught's) arguments already filed in
the case, do not satisfy him that he
ought to decide in his favor. he, in tia;
event, refers to yourselves as being in a
position to render such further service
to him as the exigency may require.
1t is to be taken for granted that Mr..
Nc Naught cannot intend either or all
of you gentlemen to aid him by pro-
fessional advice, or that you should az
pear publicly as advocates before the
Secretary for either of the contestants,
for this would be contrary to law.
If, then. the reference to yourselves
has any significance at all, it
must be expected by him that you will
bring your official influence to bear, in
some outside or underhanded way, in
order to compel decision in his favor.
when neither the merits of his case. nor
the cogency of his arguments would be
likely to produce such result.
However, we shall refuse to believe
you have in any way authorized such
use of yonr names, or that in any pos
sible event you could use your official
or personal influence to procure decis
ion from the Honorable Secretary, in
any mere contest between citizens, claim

whose rights are sought to be taken

beautifully inscribed upon the inner

The recipient of this handsome present

the appreciation of his employer of his
faithful services; highly creditable to
the liberality of the donor and the fidel-

Supreme Court Decisions.

Territory of Washington,
VS..
Charles Watts,
In the Supreme Court of W. T., De
cember Term 1872.
Error to Sd Judicial District.
The Status of this case as shown by
the records of this court, is this:
At the September Term A. D., 1869,
of the District Court of the Third Judi
cial District, the defendant was indicted
by Grand Jury on the part of the
United States, for the crime of murder,
alleged to have been committed on the
Island of San Juan, in the month of
June 1869, within ''the sole and exclu-
sive jurisdiction of the United States. -
and within the jurisdiction of said court.
He was put upon trial on the United
States side of the court, convicted OF
murder, and the sentence and judgment
of the court was, that he suffer death.
From that judgment he appealed to
this court, and among the errors as.
signed to reverse the judgment were
the following:
"The court erred in refusing to in
stract the jury that the island of San
"Juan is within the limits Of the Ter
"ritory of Washington.
1.-The court erred in overruling the
emotion for new trial for the tenth
"cause assigned, to-wit:
because the evidence showed the
homicide to have been committed
within the civil jurisdiction of the
Territory of Washington" :"
The questions made by the defendant
in his assignment of errors, and sub.
mitted to this court for decision, were,
that the island of San Juan, upon which
the murder was committed, was within
the civil jurisdic nof Washington Ter
ritory. and such offense was cognizable
by the Territorial courts, and not by
the courts in the exercise of their juris
diction under the laws of the United
States.
The evidence clearly showed that the
offense was committed on the island il
June, 1869, at which time it wss in the
joint occupation of tie United States
and Great Britain.
The opinion of the court was filed in
August, 1871, by Greene, j., Kennedy
j., occurring, and Jacobs, c. j., dis
senting; both of which opinions show
that the question involved received
much consideration.
The court resolved the points in favol
of defendant. The following extract
from the opinion of the court covers the
questions raised:
.We are of the opinion that the ju-
"risdiction of the United States is not
IS exclusive on the island of San Juan.
twithin the meaning of the act of 30th
"of April, 1880; that the statute of the
Territory against murder, at the time
alaid in the indictment, was, and still
:" is, in force there, and that the District
f" Court of the Third Judicial District.
"in the exercise of its jurisdiction over
call cases arising UNDER the laws Of the
Territory, had authority to try and
"punish any person who had commit
" ted murder on that island"

Last year, months before his death,
Horace Greeley said:
have forgiven and almost forgotten
every unkindness and injury that has
been done me; and 1 would rather be
able to recall and be forgiven for every
unkind word and act of my life than to
be the President of the United States
for then could lie down 10 die, as ]
shall soon, in peace.

Newspaper Facts and Opinions.

The Philadelphia Bulletin criticises severely,
and to our judgment very justly the, ambitious
and inaccurate volume which Mr.. Frederick
Hudson, formerly New York Herald editor, has
recently published as History Of journalism.
The mass of matter which he has gathered, says
the bulletin, is "a great conglomeratlOn OF
newspaper history, gossip and romance, much
OF which is entertaining and readable, some OF
which is valuable some Of which is fantastically
imperfect and incorrect, and all of which Is
thrown together under sort Of jumbled class-
Lcation.h
The Washington correspondent OF the hill
aielphia Star sententiously says "The War
mouth fight is simply the tight of ring that
has manipulated the money which increased tue
debt of that State twenty millions dollars du-
ring the administration Of Gov Yarmouth. To
those who don't know it looks like purely po-
litical fight but it is fight for 'swag.'
Commenting on the Philadelphia Press libel
suit, the Pittsburg Dispatch truly says 4" AS q
general thing it is safe to say that the press il
lar cleaner than the bar in its conduct with re-
gard to private character"
The Pittsburg Commercial believes the trans.
portation question has already risen to one OF
the first importance, and that it is destined to
become the oyershadowing question in Congress
and among the people.

Kquai Represenlatlon n Fraud.

IFTOM inc buBstA JOuTHaI-DemOcTATIC.I
Democrats and Republicans agree that ii
would be ruinous to allow representation on
the basis of population. This principle is a
fraud and is not recognized in State or the ma
tional government as just, and the experience
OF those States that have unduly increased the
representation OF their large cities is that such
a policy is injurious and unsafe. AS to the
proposition of the Gazette to district the state
this or any other policy which would not give to
Wilmington the control OF the legislation OF the
State would not satisfy the camorers for repre-
sentation according to population, aud only
serve as an entering wedge to open the subject
for interminabe agitation 1t is not a matter
Of compromise so long as the demands Of New
Castle county are unreasonable, and should not
be opened unless a final and satisfactory settle
ment could be made. No party can afford to
be unjust and no party can afford TO tamper
with SO vital question except to effect such
legislation as will satiefy all parties

Democratic Prosre,s.

There appears to baa section Of the Demo-
cratic organization in favor OF progress. In the
can issued for meeting at Dover, on the 10th,
MIR. William Reynolds, Of Newark, mentions
the following topics to be called up for discus
sion:
"The ten cent tax on travel the tax of seven
dollars and a half indirectly laid upon the peach
grower; 9 division Of New Castle Co. q State
Convention; the tax on bonds and mortgages !;
tax on labor; attachment of wages exemption;
the making of labor preference claim in bank
ruptcy, &o, &c"
Most of these refer to measures Of Reform,
upon which the Republican party has long since
taken position. 1t is gratifying to find that
there are Democrats who agree with US, and who
will Join in demanding that something shall be
done to advance the true interests of the State.
But what about Equal Representation, Mr..
Reynolds7 You don't mention it. Do you
mean to leave 50, 900 people Of your own coun-
