Military Post ami Indian Agency
at Klamath Lako.
We have been furnlincd with the following
rorrrspomknee upon Ihosubjrct of establishing
n Military Post and Indian Agency In tho
Klamath Irthc country In Southern Oregon.
We are Informed that J. W. Nesmlth, the
Superintendent, has promised to tend n aub-
ngent lo this puce at an early day, and would
tend hint to tho Like, but there 1.4 no prolcc
tlcu there, and It would be useless to tend out
an agent without military protection ; and, In
fact, but little can be done until n full agency
is appointed and money appropriated for that
purpose. It Is nil Important to (he cltfccns of
iapkjcji County, that n Military Peat should
Ira established somewhere near tho Klamnlh
I.ate, as (jrent ntimlKrs of those In liaiu arc
constantly In tho settlements and pasting
through the country t and without doubt I hero
will be another Indian war, Involving our
country In lieuvy expenses, nlso, thn lost of
many lives, and retarding (bo tcHlcinrnt of
that rich and beautiful country. Wo look
oii the effort of our Hcprcscnlatlrcs in Hie
Territorial Legislature to bring ll.e subject
before the proper oflicc n as of Imitortauco to
the whole country, and the prompt action of
tho SucrJntcudeut of Indian Affairs for Ore

The politicians, editon, and n number of
newspaper correspondents of Oregon, have been
for tho last three months iliscustng the politi
cal character, ucte, writing and votes of Ocn.
Iinnc, onr Delegate In Congress. It Is unncc
esviry for ns to even Inquire Into the motive!)
which prompt Individuals to prefer chnrges

or the olllci.il acts of thoso who are delegated
to act for tho people, ns there can bo no ques

must be submitted to the people for their np
proud or disapproval.
Geo. Line has been charged with being the
cnutc, not from his advocating the measure,
but Ids neglect In suH.riug the Dill to pass
Congress, with regard to holding U. S. Dis
trict Courts in Territories, whkh, from it mis
interpretation by our Judges and former leg
islators has caused so much difficulty In our
Judiciary, and been the cause of depriving
very near all the counties from having; terms
of the Court held In them further than for the
trial of issues of 'act, and but three Orond Ju
ries In the Territory, or three places where
(trnrni Jurors rould be cinpannellcd for the
purpose of indicting persons for crimes com
mitted in vlolntton of'IVrrltoriul law.
Let us examine this matter, nnd tec what
powers lmo been delegated lo the Judiciary
and tho Legislative Awimbly, by tho Act of
Congress organizing n Territorial Government
n Oregon.
Section f of the Organle Lnw rcad : "That
the Judiciary power ot snid Territory shall be
vetted in n Supreme Court, District Courts.

The Supreme, District, Probate, nnd Justices'
Courts being the only Com Is mentioned In the

tied Into three Judicial Districts, nnd n District
Court shall In held In each of said Districts by
one of tlw Judges of the Supreme Court at
such time and places ns rimll In prescribed by
law." As lo who shall prescribe by law, the
Legislative Assembly of the Territory or Con
gress, there can lie no question upon this sub
ject, for It has never been contended Hint the
Ijegislutlvo Assembly had any grant of power,
expressed or implied, to leglshito iqwn the
subject of United Stutes Courts. Hut It wns
enacted that there should Ira n District Court
held In euch of the organized counties in the
Territory, and tho Justices of tho Supreme
Court had power to hold said Courts as ap
pointed by the act of the IegIsMlhe Assembly,
fur the adjudication of cases under the Territo
rial laws ns well as United States cases con
sequently In many initancci Grand Jurors were
cmpjimelled awl sworn under the Territorial
law, and ns Grand Jurors on 'xlmlf or the
United Slates, thus either drawing doublo pay
or making I ho Guiernl Government liable to
pay two Grand Juries' fees in each county or
the Territory utcry year. Was Gcu. Lane to
b!amo for this! He was neither Judge, law
yer or Juror, and was not called upon to give
his opinion upon the subject it was a matter
left entirely to the Judges who had been Ap
pointed to administer the laws of tho Culled
States ami tho Territory. Did tho legislative
Assembly ilitldo the Territory into three Ju
dicial Districts, for tho porposo of holding
United States Courts, nnd appoint the times
of holding the samel (Query hail they ony
right to appoint the time of hohling United
States Courts? but none will deny the right
or tho Legislative Assembly to appoint the
time or holding Territorial Courts In each or
ganized county.) What did Congress do ?
Where was tho neglect or Gen. Lane-, as has
been charged T It Is cny to make charges for
political purposes, and they may lie published
and preached until tho author, although know
ing them tobo untrue nt tho commencement,
will Dually Imagino that thero Is something In
them ; and nothing is so well calculated to
stimulate and bring about tills result as the
disposition to nplre to power and displace
thoso who may b? present incumbents, or the
lack of conlldeneo in tho appointing power to
obtain a ioodut office.
Did tho Act of Congress In relation to hold
ing United States Courts, prohibit tho LrvU-
lative Assembly Jrom continuing in force the
Practice Act of255, so far as it applied to
Territorial buslPST We think no. Then
who was it that advised and assisted to fasten
upon the people tho late Practice Act, to
which so much objection-has been made, and
has prevented the empannelling of Grawl Ju
ries for the several counties evco'Co'Dutr Indict
ments for violation of tho Territorial laws,
depriving tho populous counties or Cooso and
Curry Trout having Courts regularly held and
Qrand Juries cinpannellcd within their luris-
dietion, and calling out tho eloquence or their
political champion to make charges orneulcct
aud Iguoraueo against Gen. LanoT This Ju
diciary system was not the cause, but a failure
to obtain n Inspector's owoIntmcBt at Port
Orford might havo bceu tho grand lover power
that propelled such powerful political mu-chlncry.
IJutfrom some cause tho Legislative Assem

No Itccord of its being Oregon Politics.
The Portland correspondent of the San Fran
cisco Evtnrng llullttm, under date of January

ORKflOX rOMTICH.
"Our Legislature ndjourns to-day, having
transacted but little business of Imnortauce.
save n large number or divorce bills that have
been passcil during tho session, 'llio Territo
rial "sent of government" question hits again
been broached this session, which occupied
considerable time, nnd during which the dis
play of genius, wit aud eloquence was enorm
ous 'j lie members, until quite n recent date,
teemed tn have had no particular object in

Oregon was, or would be hdmllted ns a Stutu
to the Union, no great amount ol business was
necessary, for In case or ndmlislon, n large
amount or legislation under our "Territorial
Constitution" would bo worthless. Hut Jud
ging from tho Intelligence brought by the
CoiM, we havo but "faint hopes" of becoming
a Slate this year, or during the present session
of Congress, n fact that 1 strongly intimated
In n previous letter to tho 7Vuriii. Notwith
standing the disappointment our 'non-admission
will cause In the Territory, It will, under
the present circumstances, and the disturbed
state or political nir.ilrs, meet Willi general ap
probation, for it is predicted by our wise poli
ticians that our iion-iulniliuloti would result In
n strong union of tho Dow difl'ercnt factious of
the Democratic party In lh Territory, n ctr
cumstaucc highly necessary to cn.nb'c the par

doubt, result nt our next Territorial election
for Dctcgutu to Congress, disastroudy to the
present Incumbent, who, durimr recent cum-
imigiw, styled himself tho old "ll'iir Hone."

We publish this week the report of Messrs.
Chapman nnd T'Vnult, two of the Judiciary
Committee, to whom had been re'erTcd the pe
tition or citizens asking lo have n law passed
Tor tho protection or slarc properly In tlw
Territory or Oregon :
Mr. SrKAUKB. -The undersigned, members
or the Judtiiary Committee lo whom wm rc
rcrred tho petitions of sundry citizens nr Ore
gon upon Hit subject or passing n law Air the
protection orshuc property in said Territory,
hnvo had the samo under consideration, and
respectfully report :
Tlmt It is our opinion thai the spirit or tho
Constitution or the United States, as pronoun
ced by the Supremo Court In the Drcd Scott
cae. authorizes the hnldimr or slaves lu liny ol
the Territories or (ho United Slates ; that the
Constitution does not ntithm-izu Congress tn
legislate slavery Into or out rn territory, but
protects n citizen ofnny or the United Slates
who may think proper to locate in a territory
in the possession and use or any property he
may be possessed or which Is recognized as
Sroicrty by Hie constitution nnd laws or the
late from which he may migrate.
We believe that while a territory remains as
a territory that it Is as much the properlyof a
slnve holding Stnto ns It is of a nou-iluvc hold
ing Slate, and that the citizens of n slave hold
ing State have the same constitutional right
tu convry their slaves tu said territory, nnd
use them there, nnd be protected in their rights
ns the citizen of n uon-slavo holding Slate has
the right lo convey uny chattel property he
may bo possessed of lo 'said territory, nnd bo
protected in his right to such chattel pro
perty. We do not bcllevo tlmt Congress, In legislat
ing for n territory, has the constitutional right
to decide what clnt of citizens shall locate In
n territory, nor whnt kind of property they
shall In possessed of; nor tin bc'lctc that any
power can in iieiegntcit y uongrcss to n ter
ritorial Legislature that is not possessed by
Congress j therefore IhoTerrltorlnl Legislature
caunot prohibit slavery In the Territory, for
the Inferior caunot exercise powers that is nut
granted to thu superior.
Wo do believe that when Congress does or
ganize a territorial government, extending to
uio people mo rignt to icgMnic lor their ivs-
ix-cttvc territories, that the Const Union of I he
I'nltcd States gunmntccs lo the Inhabitants of
such territory the rignt lo legislate nnd regu
late the manner linw any person shall hmo his
property protected, nnd how he shall obtain
iIiciiosaumIou and control of such properly,
be Ihc same n slmo or uny other chattel pro-
pcny.
Although your conunltlvo has not had the
time and opportunity to iuuvitignto this sub
ject as Its Imporlnncc requires, yet wo nre deci
dedly or opinion that the foregoing h-nly con
clusions nre fully warranted by the Constitu
tion mid Its legal construction, nnd beg leave
tn report the following bill fur the protection
orslavo properly in llie Territory of Oregon,
mid recommend Its passage.

Then there is nbrllliunt protracted inccliiig nnd
theater in full blast. Tho discovery of nn
iron mountain about fourteen miles from here,
recently, has caused considerable stir among
tho speculating men. I hate seen specimens
of the ore, nnd Iron made from it, which Is in
deed very Due, nnd tho mountain promises to
bo more valuable than n gold mine, situated
us it is in a rich country, and within three
miles or navigation, nnd surrounded by nn In
cxhaustiblo supply or wood to work the mine.
The mountain Is about ono thousand feet high
nnd covers some three hundred acres, and Is
said to bo literally filled with tho ore. Gen.
M. M. McUarver, or this plaeo, has bought
the mountain, nnd proposes to put It lu mar
kclfcor to form n company so as to work the
miuo. H this mine shall In soon successfully
worked, it will bo of great advuutngc to Ore
gon, by keeping hero many thousands of dol
lars which mutually go to tho States for iron.
