Show I District Court. Yesterday Chief ' Justice MeKean gave his ruling on : the point whether the Territorial At-I At-I t"iuey General. Z. Snow, or the United States Attorney, Major Hempstead, Hemp-stead, was the prosecuting attorney of the Court. The ruling decided in favor of the latter, and Judge Snow I took an appeal to the Supreme Court of this Territory. The question is simply sim-ply whether the Territory can have any officer of its own ; or whether all are to be appointed at Washington or by Washington appointees. W'e would like to have the decision of the United States Supreme Court on it ; decisions conflict so here. |
