resolution. have expressly annexed to and

Hawaiian Islands,"
state and Territorial Rights.
The Attorney General argued for a sharp
delf~eation between the rights of the people
OF the states and those of our immediate
territories. saying that all the authority
OF the trited States is derived from the
people of the states and not from those of
the territories; that the people of the ter
rlIorleS cannot share or constitute to that
authority. as they are deprived of the right
to elect officials. etc. The purpose of the
constitutional provision for uniformity was
that of insuring equally fair treatment to
all the states by Congress, and it was
known to have been one of the guarantees
held out to the states to accept the Con-
stitution. 1t was not a personal but a
local guaranty. operating not as a priv
lege to individuals, but to states considered
as organized constituents Of the Union
Hence, he argued, reasons for applying 1t
to territories are wanting
Controversial bred Scott Decision.
The last feature of the argument was
contention that the Constitution does not
extend of its own force over acquired terri
tory. and in this connection the Attorney
General sought to refute the doctrine as
laid down by Chief Justice fancy in the
bred Scott case that the United States
Ctulu not acquire territory lOr any Otner
purpose than to convert 1t into states Of
the Union.
THE doctrine of the ex-proprio vigore
extension of the Constitution was never
heard Of, he said, until it was invented
and advocated by Calhoun means OF
fastening slavery upon California and New
Mexico beyond the power of Congress to
disturb or abolish it. 1t was in conflict with
all previous views of statesmen Of all par
ties. and opposed to the compact in the or
dirance of 1877, as well to the act of
Congress known the Missouri compro-
mise"
The doctrine announced In the bred Scott
decision was, said Mr.. Griggs. not original
with Chief Justice fancy, but was origi-
mated by John G. Calhoun and announced
b. him during the discussion of the Wilmot
proviso in 1S47. This doctrine had been
tacitly ignored and repudiated in later opin-
ions and In congressional action, to say
nc thing of the effect upon it of the result
of the civil war. Indeed. said the Attor-
ney General. in the language Of Prof. Pome-
roy. the bred Scott decision had become "a
byword and kissing"
In conclusion Mr.. Griggs submitted that
the judgments in the lower courts in both
cases violate constitutional or other
right, and thereupon should, there.ore, be
affirmed.

NEXT ENCAMpMENT OF G. A. r..
Prospect That Denver VIII Not BE the
Favored City.

The executive committee Of the Grand
Army of the Republic had a special meeting
in ST. Louis yesterday. to decide upon a
place for the next national encampment
which will be held September 10. 1901. The
cities DESTROYS Of securing the encampment
are Denver, Washington. Cleveland and
Pittsburg. While no place was definitely
chosen the claims of Denver were turned
down by vote Of to 1. This does not
settle the matter, for Denver's representa-
tives say they will fight the decision
1t was voted last summer to accept Denver
as the site. provided the city would secure
railroad rates of ! cent a mile. This was
the point on which the committee and the
Denver representatives disagreed, the latter
claiming that the rate is practically as
sured, while the committee refuse to accept
the evidence. and set a new GATE, January
81, to consider the claims OF the other
cities. the place Of meeting to be announced
later.
Judge Rassieur stated that the cities
would have until January IL to prepare
their offers. and that the city showing the
greater claim in the way Of advantages
would be given the encampment.
