Territorial Governors.

Mr.. Garland, from the committee
Oh territories, reported unfavorbly
Che. house bill requiring the governors
OF the territories Of Arizona, Dakota,
Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Utah,
Washington and Wyoming to be resi-
dents of said territory atleasttwo wears
prior to appointment. The report sets
forth:
The present system IF appointment
has been in force twenty-five years. and
the committee is not advised of any
such troubles in it's operation that
would require a change. Experience
has shown that in many instances, ow-
ing to party complications and I'M
healthy alliances in these territories, it
was almost impossible to select impair
tial persons competent to fill the office
of governor from the state. It often
happens that schemes exist in the terri
tories, Of q certain policy prevails, that
congress is anxious to suppress and put
an end to, which every resident other
wise fit to be governor, is not only iden-
titled with, but is exerting himself to
maintain by force; and to limit the Sc
lection Of residents, as required, this
bill would, in stitch cases, amount to
strife and discord, and often in break
ing the peace and law an executive is
supposed to desire to keep and preserve
and exert. The general law has wisely
left the president free to select the Off
GERS from any part of the country he
may choose. 1t is extremely doubtful
whether any law could limit the presi-
dent in this respect. The power Of ap-
pointt1ent given by the constitution is
broad and without limit: The c6mmit-
tee is of the opinion that a law could
as well restrict the president in this
matter to residents in any one state or
persons of a certain height or weight or
of a particular complexion. Such a law
would be manifestly impolitic if not Ii
able to eSecdtional objection.

to move automatically. The only diff
ference was that THE lines on Che tablet
written with the left hand were revers-

quence was that the writing on the left
hand tablet could not BE read except by
an expert, Or by holding it up to light
or before 4 mirror. I locked at the one

side, and while the linec seemed re-

to a light, I.saw not only that the words
written were the same.a as those Oh the
tablet written with tie right hand, but.
that every popularity in,the formation

The following description of the cat
astrophe is given by n of the officers
of the ship, James Allen:
The night on which the disaster oc-
CURED was clear, though moonless, and
the sea was smooth as glass. He re-
tired to his bunk at 8 o'clock, leaving
Chief Officer Thompson in charge of
the deck. About 11:10 heard a sig
nal suddenly given to stop the steam-
er's engines, followed by a fearful
crash. He rushed on deck, and the first
thing he noticed was a red light pretty
close on their starboard bow. At the
same moment he heard the chief off
GERS voice cry collision" He p%erceiv-
ed the bark which had run into them
go down. This bark, he afterward
learned from its captain and two Of the
crew who were saved, was the Ponema
of Chatham, N. y, bound from Liver
pool to Mirimachi. Running to the
side Of his own vessel he endeavored to
ascertain the damage done, and, per-
ceiving an immense gaping hole, into
which the sea was pouring, and feeling,
as he said himself, that the steamer
was gone, he at once hurried to the
captain, who Immediately gave orders
to get out the boats, four of whichwere
down in fifteen minutes, when the State
of Florida just keeled over to port and
went down stern foremost. AS far as
he could calculate the disaster occurred
about 12e miles off the Irish coast. AS
the vessel went down all on deck, in
Guiding the Captain, were washed off
by the sea.
Allan further states that the captain
was exceedingly cool; too cool, iii fact,
as he did not seem to look upon the
danger as serious Or pressing, and this,
together with the fact that he appeared
in no hurry to save himself, was posi-
bly, the cause why more of the passen-
gers were not saved. They would not
take to the boats, as they supposed,
when they saw him so cool, that the
danger Was not SO great, and moreover
the sea was so calm. OF the eight
boats four were safely launched and
two smashed by collision. Of the 9TH
er two he new nothing, but believed
they were washed away when the
steamer went down. He did hot be.
lieve that any one escaped in them.
However, if they had he did not want
