little speech, which fully accords with

gate from Montana, ia the course q
his remarks upon the same subject,
i, used the following truthful language:
These appointments are made from
strangers, and generally consist OF
broken-down politicians or inefficient
and unworthy persons; or, If occa-
sionally an able man is chosen, it is
not 80 much in the interests OF the
people which he is to govern as to get
him temporarily out of the way OF
some political rival. They come among
our people with no acquaintance with
our people or our interests, no sympa-
thy with our aspirations, our hopes,
and our endeavors to develop the
country, and depend for their contin-
uance in Office upon the favor Of those
who originally sent them to us, rather
than upon the goodwill, the affection.
or confidence Of the people of the
Territories.
Governors have been sent to the Terri
tories without honesty or character,
men who not only disgraced the Gov
eminent, but used their official posi-
tions to borrow all the money they
could obtain from respectable citizens
and then decamped to the places from
which they came. We have had Sec
retaries who squandered their appro-
priations and de6antly disgraced their
positions. We have had Judges who
could not pass an examination for ad-
mission to the bar and could never
earn living in competition with our
local bar; and these have not been ex-
ceptioDs, but the rule.
Mr.. Bennett, acting Delegate from
Idaho, indorsed Maginnis in the fol-
lowing sentence:

Territories as a Federal officer. !

On Short Acquaintance,

The Pittsburg (Pa.) Gazette of Fri
day says: On Tuesday morning Louisa
Bred arrived at the Union Depot, in this
city, from Newark, Ouio, Oh her way to
Beaver Falls. where she purposed be-
coming a domestic. At the depot she
met Moritz Meyer for the first timesin
her life. He made himself generally
agreeable, and learned where she was
from and where going. Wnen, toward
evening, Louisa was about to start Tor
Allegheny, Meyer wound up his atten-
tons by proposing that they get mar.
ried.
She consented, and they went before
a Magistrate, whose name or place OF
business they afterWard forgot,and were
united in matrimony. After the cere-
mony they proceeded to the Federal
street depot TO look up her baggage.
While the husband was making himself
busy in many ways in her behalf, VIM.
roerner happened to come along. Toer-
lner is acquainted with Louisa's brother
in. Newark, and has a slight acquaint.
ance with Louisa herself. When he saw
this strange man make himself SO ex-
| tremey busy with her affairs, he men
tally concluded that he had designs
upon her, and assuming the role OF cnam.
pion, demanded to know what business
he mad with the lady. Louisa took Nor
itz' part, but Toerner would believe
neither OF them, and the result was a
scene of lively description. At this
juncture Officer selfridge appeared and
arrested all the parties. a.
Louisa told her story to Mayor Phil
lips, but when the latter asked to see
her marriage certificate Meyer told him
that he had burned it up from fear of get.
ting into trouble. His excuse was IN
one sense not bad. A marriage certiti-
cate has brought trouble to many man.
The trio were locked up for the night,
each one occupying cell alone, and
yesterday morning the Mayor discharge
them, with word of advice to Louisa
that she had better allow her brothers.
friend to send her back home until she
is better acquainted with her new and
singularly acquired husband. ''

was thrown on the coffin one OF the party
fell into the grave and could not extrl-
cate himself. A companion, no better
off than he, attempted to rescue him,
but he also fell into the grave, and there
both struggled in vain until some OF the

Justly indignant at the occurrence, lifted

They glided into book store, and ad-
vanced toward young man who sat
facing the back of his chair. There
were three of them. One was blonde,
with q peach-blossom face and an $50
Watch-chain. The next was also a
blonde, but she wasn't so blooming as
the other, and her watch-chain wasn't
orth SO much by $40. She wore dia-
mond ring, however, over the finger OF a
lavender glove, which was worth three
or four watch-chalns. The third one
was the queen-bee. She was brunette,
with melting brown eyes, and, as re-
garded jewelry, was far superior to the
other two. The brunette asked the
young man to buy ticket to the church

"Give me ticket" said he as he drew

the money.
"I'll take my kiss first"

voter to register his name as such is im-
posing new qualification not warrants
ed by the Constitution. And this is
said in view of the law now requiring a
voter when challenged as to age or resi-
dence TO swear to the facts concerning
the same. There is nothing in the Con-
stitution requiring voter to
swear to certain facts under any
circumstances. Does the law that
requires such yerifcation, then,
violate the Constitution by imposing
such duty upon the voter, in case he
is challenged? Is that law, thus guard
ing the purity of the ballot-box, consti-
tutional, when law for the same pur-
pose requiring simple registration would
be unconstitutional? The man who is
required to swear and refuses 80 to do,
is rejected, by the law, as a
voter. Nothing more could occur if he
would refuse to register in compliance
with the law. The common sense of the
thing, as we'll as judicial decisions in
other States where registry laws are
found, condemn such a notion Of I'M
constitutionality as puerile and absurd.
The whole scope ana purpose OF law
Of registration are to determine the very
facts prescribed in the Constitution as
constituting lawful voter. Requiring
a citizen to swear to these facts, when
doubted or unknown, is but another
method of determining the same facts
prescribed in the Constitution. How,
then, could the former be unconstitu-
tional, while the latter is and has long
been acted upon at every election? They
would both be proper and suitable
means to the same end, and equally con
stitutional. The vast Importance OF that
end, the purity and sanctity OF the bal
lot-box, is surely sufficient to warrant
both of these laws, and of any Others
found requisite thereunto.
