Admitting the Territories.

1t is said that the republicans,
II they have majority in both
houses Of congress, will admit
certain territories into the Union
40 states. The charge IS made
that this will be done to gain
strength politically, the territories
to be admitted being republican in
politics. These territories ought
to be admitted il they hare suffi-
cient population whatever may be
their political complexion. Ter
ritories, that have grown to q state
Of political manhood are entitled
to relief from the disabilities of a
territorial condition. If they pre-
sent themselves in regular order
applying for admission with sufti-
cient population and With q con.
stitution creating o government
republican in form, congress is in
duty bound to admit them, and
their politics is not an issue in the
case. Democrats viii stultify
themselves by voting against ad.
mission ifthey present themselves
IA this shape.

The Solid South.

A solid south doubtless tends
to make a solid north. But how
is the south going to divide go
long rs they believe IN democracy?
1t might be better to divide as a
matter of policy, to break down
sectional feeling, if it could be
done in some way that conscien-
tious opinions would not he sacri'
feed. The great majority of
southern white people have deep
seated political convictions and
vote on fundamental doctrine. 1t
will he difficult for them to aban-
don these for the sake of con.
ciliation. From their stand point
it would be an abandonment of
freedoms cause and Of the doc
trine they believe is essential to
the preservation of liberty. The
south has held the same faith
from The foundation Of the govern
ment. Their political creed was
not born of the late struggle. 1t
antedates that more than sixty
years. They have persistently
fought, Hamilton &c Co., and sup
ported Jefferson & Co., ever since
these great lights announced their
views on the structure and powers
of the government. 1t is false and
slandcrous to hang secession as a
mill stone about the neck of the
democracy. This never has been
a part OF their creed, but was an
isolated issue Of its own.
1t was born, il we mistake not,
in the state of Massachusetts,, the
so.called cradle Of liberty. But
like many other northern iniqui-
ties, it went south to do its bloody
work. In this idea, is the whole
case Of sectional feeling and divis-
ion. The south seeded and is
now solidly democratic. There
fore secession and democracy are
akin TO each other. This is a non
sequiter. Pennsylvania, Illinois and
other northern states that were
formerly 50 strongly democratic,
are now intensely republican, and,
evidently not that their opinion Of
democratic doctrine has changed,
but from prejudice and hatred of
the south. 1t ne will contend a
while longer, these bitter quondam
democrats at the north, may lay
aside their passions and prejudices
and come up to The ballot box in
spired with their ancient political
faith.

Appointing Power.

The appointing power is obnox'
ious in an elective government
and should be abrogated as far as
possible. There is no real neces.
sity for the governor to have the
appointment Of so many officers
in this state, and to a governor of
proper spirit, the office is made
more disagreea5le on this account.
A state administration generally
makes many enemies and few
friends by it's appointments.
The peculiar political situation
here has almost of necessity made
many offices appointive that would
otherwise be elective. But there
is nothing in the situation that
justifles the perpetuation Of such
an extensive appointing business.
The one man power ought to be
reduced and the power Of the pso-
pie incresed in the same degree.
The appointment Of judges Of the
Supreme court ought to be reclaim
ed by the people. These Offices
are Of too great consequence to
public rights and justice to have
their selection in the hands of one
man however upright and INTEL
gent that one man may be.
The Appeal Court judges also
should be, selected by the people
instead of the general Assembly.
Members of that body are not
| elected with reference to this mat.
ter. There are other Offices that
shoald be flied by popular cleo.
ton that are now appointive. The
| ones mentioned are We think the
most important and the next gen
eral Assembly should submit an
amendment placing their seIec-
tion IN the bands of the people.

Custom House Pop.

There Is considerable evidence
Of pickering, strife and approach
to revolution among the leading
Republicans Of this state, over the
distribution Of the various Offices
in the Custom House. OF course
as soon as the new national ad-
ministration is set up, Mr.. Jonas
and all the attaches will be fired
out. Mr.. Coleman now seems to
be the central figure ia RepuSH'
can channels. Hervig, P'nchback,
Hero, Kellogg d ca, all are viii.
ling to bow at tho shrine Of Cole
man and do him homage, each
claiming that, through his lnfu-
euce, their lordship was elected.
1t appears that the great and only
Hero has the ear Of the new con-
gresham and will very probably
get his support for the place Jo-
mas now holds. It's said Kellogg
denies wanting anything and
would not accept the earth were
it rendered him. Those who do
not know Sir William Pitt may
believe this, but ~ for our part,
we'll wait and see what he will do
when he has the opportunity.

The succession of Kate Town

queen of the demi monde has at
last been wound up after being in
court for several gears. She left
an estate of $4,000 and leaving
no known relatives this handsome
sum would have gone to the state
treasury for the benefit OF public

institution will make some propo.

A. Hendricks.

The following is a Synopsis Of
the eulogy pronounced by Gov.
Grey in commemoration Of the
late vice. President:
ut is with sad hearts We have
come to this place on the third an
niversary Of the death of a below
ed and honored SON Of Indiana,
who like Jacob, Joshua and Da-
d,':g.thered about him the years
of a we'll spent life and went down
to rest clothed in q mantle Of un-
snlhed fame.
"Whilc We stand around the
tomb Of the distinguished dead, to
attest by these simple and unos-
tentatious ceremonies our respect
for his living memory, our minds
imperceptibly so back to other
days, which bring to vivid reco-
lection the pleasures we exper-
fenced BY a personal aquaintence
with the deceased and the cordial,
friendly greeting always extended
by him.
ellis fame was not builded on
fields fertllized by human carnage.
1t was builded in the ways Of
peace and coed will to men, and
will not be diminished as it passes
in review before the generations
that are to come. His virtues,
which he did not obtruGc on the
attention of others while living,
will not loose their lustre by the
lapse oftime, but will shine bright.
or and brighter as time rolls on,
until they finally become the most
conspicuous memorial Of his name.
He began life unaided, except by
the forces with which nature pro-
vided him. He lived just, pure
and blameless life, and died the
occupant Of the second Office with
in the gift ofhis countrymen, He
was well known even to those in
the humblest walks of life. He
was q man of the people, and lived
and died the peoples friend.
This unassuming department to-
ward all won for him universal ad.
miration and respect. 1t can't be
said ofhim that he never betrayed
public or private trust. He never
took advantage Of the necessities
of his fellow-men. He never
stopped to repel the shafts Of ca
lumny leveled at himself. He was
always calm and considerate Of
the feelings of others, even amidst
the heat Of q great political excite
ment He was equally calm while
the hand of his Maker was cast
ing the shadow Of death over his
face. In whatever pursuit be MAS
