ixen of Washington Territory
prior to lis appointment. We
have never heard a complaint
from any quarter of the manner
in which he has discharged the
duties of his Office.
The q. s. District Judges are
all serving under commissions
conferred upon them as citizens
Of Washington Territory, and
are probably serving as accepta-
bly, to the people generally as
the Judges of any other Terrific
ry. Their position places them
above our praise or censure but
in exceptional cases of manifest
right or wrong which demand q
popular verdict.
Now where are your carpet
baggers in Federal office? No
Territory of the Union was ever
more free from them than is
Washington Territory at the
present time; and We believe no
other Territory was ever sup
piled with Federal officers with
whose administration of public
affairs there has been SO little
fault finding.
We as earnestly desired the
election of Mr.. Tilden as did any
of his supporters who had 10
greater personal stake in t
issue. 1t was not for a party
triumph merely, but for the vast
ly more important consideration,
the success of civil service re-
form, which would subordinate
party to the public interests; a
policy to which Mr.. Tilden was
pledged, and which, from our
personal knowledge of the man,
we had no doubt he would faith
fully carry cut. While the can
vass was pending, we were fire.
quently charged by politicians
with having the appointment OF
Governor in view. We said then
as we say now, that we would
never consent to accept an office
of any kind secured by the re-
moval of the incumbent on party
grounds. We as cordially sup.
port that policy under the Ad-
ministration of Mr.. Hayes as we
would have done under that 0i
Mr.. Tilden; and outside of the
Post Office Department, we see
nothing in the management Of
the Federal Offices in this Terri
tory demanding the intervention
of civil service reform.

this evidence of his sensibility to

An Irishman who had been
sick a long time was one day
met by the parish priest, when
the following conversation took
place: " Well, Patrick, I am glad
you have recovered. Were you
not afraid to meet your God?"
"Oh, no, your reverence! It was
the meetin' the other party that
I was afraid nv" replied Pat.

Carpet t-Baggers.

carpet-Baggsrs.
A Portland paper says Wash
ington Territory is ruled by
carpet-baggers,' and the Ia
coma paper calls Jacobs, our
Delegate in Congress a carpet
bagger.' According to the rule
which these papers apply to the
office-holders, there are not pro-
badly a dozen voters in the Ter
ritory who are not carpet-bag-
gers. AS to the Delegate, he
was a citizen of the Territory
when the territory now embra
eed in Washington was a part
of Oregon, and is counted among
the pioneers. He has been a
resident of this city for eight
or nine years, and ought by this
time to be reckoned a citizen
There is not a Federal officer in
the civil service on Puget Sound,
with a single exception, whose
citizenship does not antedate
the commission under which he
is serving; that exception being
N. II. Owings, the Secretary,
who is generally regarded as a
satisfactory accession to the pop
ulation, without Interior designs
upon our local politics. Mr..
Webster, the Collector, has been
a resident of the Territory not
less than eighteen years, and we
do not know how much longer;
we have heard some of his old
companions associate his resi-
dcnce with the growth of Mount
Baker from small hillock. He
is serving his first term in the
custom-house, and is regarded
~ commercial men, with rare
exceptions, as the best officer
ever in charge Of that depart
ment.
Gov. Ferry has been = resident
Of Olympia for eight or ten years
and Governor for about half that
time. He is now ON his second
term, and all will admit that he
is q CREST deal more popular than
when he entered upon the duties
of the Office, which is q reasona-
BILE indication that his adminis-
tration has given general salts
faction. He has received COM
plimentary endorsement by eve
ry Legislature holding sessions
during his term.
Capt. McMicken, was a citizen
of the Territory before he held
any official position in it, and
after having served one term as
Surveyor General accepsably, he
has just been confirmed the sec
ond time.
Major Hayden, the Internal
Revenue Collector, won the right
Of recognition as a citizen of any
Territory Of the United States
by service in the army. He has
been a resident of this Territory
not less than eight years.
Robert E. Stuart, Receiver,
is an old settler, and this we be.
lieve is the only office he ever
held in tho Territory, and we
know Of no one, of any party,
who would like to see him out
of it, unless it is some one who
would like the place for himself,
of whom there are undoubtedly
some.
Major J. T. Brown, the Regis
ter of the Land Office, lost a leg
upon the battle field while serv-
ing in the Union army. A more
attentive, faithful and pains-tak-
ing officer never served the Gov
ernment. He never NEEDLES
