The jealousies and rivalries that rend the republican organization in the Territories have been attended with must disastrous consequences, as in the case of k the tragic death of Secretary exof Dacotah. In view of the istence of these dissensions, he has come to the conclusion that the only Mc-Coo- way to preserve harmony among the federal officers and the republicans of the Territories was to appoint strangers wha were not identified with cither faction.

As a rule the Territories have generally been considered as convenient reserves for favorites whose obscurity aud unavailability at home precluded the possibility of attaining eminence iu political life. The grievous difficulty in, the way of the President in making appointments in the Territories as announced by him, demonstrates his subserviency to blatant time servers, and noisy politicians.

He then performed his task for some days, but afterwards complained that his hands hurt him, and he was again put in solitude.
