ORGANIC ACT
Reviser’s note: The original organic act to establish the territorial
government of Washington is set forth herein. Note however that the
organic act was completely revised in the 1873 United States Revised
Statutes which was enacted by Congress in 1874. The 1873 United States
Revised Statutes contained a construction section (Title 74, section 5596)
which has been construed by the United States Supreme Court (Dwight v.
Merrit, 140 U.S. 213, 11 S.Ct. 768, 35 L.Ed. 45) as abrogating or repealing
all prior statutes on the same subject as those revised. As the twenty-one
sections of the original organic act were rewritten and combined with the
organic acts of other territories the disposition of the original sections into
the 1873 United States Revised Statutes cannot be traced with absolute
accuracy. A schedule of the disposition of the original organic act sections
based on the audit contained in the United States Revised Statutes of 1878,
is published herein following section 21 of the organic act.
AN ACT TO ESTABLISH THE TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENT OF
WASHINGTON.
(Approved March 2, 1853.) [10 U.S. Statutes at Large, c 90 p 172.]
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That from and after the passage of this act, all that portion
of Oregon Territory lying and being south of the forty-ninth
degree of north latitude, and north of the middle of the main
channel of the Columbia River, from its mouth to where the
forty-sixth degree of north latitude crosses said river, near
Fort Wallawalla, thence with said forty-sixth degree of
latitude to the summit of the Rocky Mountains, be organized
into and constitute a temporary government by the name of
the Territory of Washington: Provided, That nothing in this
act contained shall be construed to affect the authority of the
government of the United States to make any regulation
respecting the Indians of said Territory, their lands, property,
or other rights, by treaty, law, or otherwise, which it would
have been competent to the government to make if this act
had never been passed: Provided further, That the title to
the land, not exceeding six hundred and forty acres, now
occupied as missionary stations among the Indian tribes in
said Territory, or that may have been so occupied as missionary stations prior to the passage of the act establishing
the Territorial government of Oregon, together with the
improvements thereon, be, and is hereby, confirmed and
established to the several religious societies to which said
missionary stations respectively belong.
SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That the executive
power and authority in and over said Territory of Washington shall be vested in a governor, who shall hold his office
for four years, and until his successor shall be appointed and
qualified, unless sooner removed by the President of the
United States. The governor shall reside in said Territory,
shall be the commander-in-chief of the militia thereof, shall
perform the duties and receive the emoluments of Superintendent of Indian Affairs; he may grant pardons and remit
fines and forfeitures for offenses against the laws of said
Territory, and respites for offenses against the laws of the
United States until the decision of the President can be made
known thereon; he shall commission all officers who shall be
appointed to office under the laws of the said Territory,
where, by law, such commissions shall be required, and shall
take care that the laws be faithfully executed.
(2006 Ed.)
SEC. 3. And be it further enacted, That there shall be
a Secretary of said Territory, who shall reside therein, and
hold his office for four years, unless sooner removed by the
President of the United States; he shall record and preserve
all the laws and proceedings of the Legislative Assembly
hereinafter constituted, and all the acts and proceedings of
the Governor in his Executive department; he shall transmit
one copy of the laws and journals of the Legislative Assembly within thirty days after the end of each session, and one
copy of the executive proceedings and official correspondence semi-annually, on the first days of January and July in
each year, to the President of the United States, and two
copies of the laws to the President of the Senate and to the
Speaker of the House of Representatives, for the use of
Congress. And in case of the death, removal, resignation, or
absence of the Governor from the Territory, the Secretary
shall be, and he is hereby, authorized and required to execute
and perform all the powers and duties of the Governor
during such vacancy or absence, or until another Governor
shall be duly appointed and qualified to fill such vacancy.
SEC. 4. And be it further enacted, That the Legislative
power and authority of said Territory shall be vested in a
Legislative Assembly, which shall consist of a Council and
House of Representatives. The Council shall consist of nine
members, having the qualifications of voters, as hereinafter
prescribed, whose term of service shall continue three years.
Immediately after they shall be assembled, in consequence
of their first election, they shall be divided as equally as may
be into three classes. The seats of the members of Council
of the first class, shall be vacated at the expiration of the
first year, of the second class at the expiration of the second
year, and of the third class at the expiration of the third year,
so that one third may be chosen every year; and if vacancies
happen, by resignation or otherwise, the same shall be filled
at the next ensuing election. The House of Representatives
shall, at its first session, consist of eighteen members,
possessing the same qualifications as prescribed for members
of the Council, and whose term of service shall continue one
year. The number of representatives may be increased by
the Legislative Assembly, from time to time, in proportion
to the increase of qualified voters: Provided, That the whole
number shall never exceed thirty. An apportionment shall be
made, as nearly equal as practicable, among the several
counties or districts, for the election of the Council and
Representatives, giving to each section of the Territory
representation in the ratio of its qualified voters, as nearly as
may be. And the members of the Council and of the House
of Representatives shall reside in, and be inhabitants of, the
district or county or counties, for which they may be elected,
respectively. Previous to the first election, the Governor
shall cause a census or enumeration of the inhabitants and
qualified voters of the several counties and districts of the
Territory to be taken, by such persons, and in such mode, as
the Governor shall designate and appoint; and the persons so
appointed shall receive a reasonable compensation therefor.
And the first election shall be held at such time and places,
and be conducted in such manner, both as to the persons
[Vol. 0 RCW—page 11]
Organic Act
who shall superintend such election and the returns thereof,
as the Governor shall appoint and direct; and he shall at the
same time declare the number of members of the Council
and House of Representatives to which each of the counties
or districts shall be entitled under this act; and the Governor
shall, by his proclamation, give at least sixty days’ previous
notice of such apportionment, and of the time, places, and
manner of holding such election. The persons having the
highest number of legal votes in each of said council
districts for members of the Council shall be declared by the
Governor to be duly elected to the Council, and the persons
having the highest number of legal votes for the House of
Representatives shall be declared by the Governor to be duly
elected members of said House: Provided, That in case two
or more persons voted for shall have an equal number of
votes, and in case a vacancy shall otherwise occur in either
branch of the Legislative Assembly, the Governor shall order
a new election; and the persons thus elected to the Legislative Assembly shall meet at such place, and on such day,
within ninety days after such elections, as the Governor shall
appoint. But thereafter the time, place, and manner of
holding and conducting all elections by the people, and the
apportioning the representation in the several counties or
districts to the Council and House of Representatives,
according to the number of qualified voters, shall be prescribed by law, as well as the day of the commencement of
the regular session of the Legislative Assembly: Provided,
That no session in any one year shall exceed the term of
sixty days, except the first session, which shall not exceed
one hundred days.
SEC. 5. And be it further enacted, That every white
male inhabitant above the age of twenty-one years, who shall
have been a resident of said Territory at the time of the
passage of this act, and shall possess the qualifications
hereinafter prescribed, shall be entitled to vote at the first
election, and shall be eligible to any office within the said
Territory; but the qualifications of voters and of holding
office at all subsequent elections shall be such as shall be
prescribed by the Legislative Assembly: Provided, That the
right of suffrage and of holding office shall be exercised
only by citizens of the United States above the age of
twenty-one years, and those above that age who shall have
declared on oath their intention to become such, and shall
have taken an oath to support the Constitution of the United
States and the provisions of this act: And provided further,
That no officer, soldier, seaman, mariner, or other person in
the army or navy of the United States, or attached to troops
in the service of the United States, shall be allowed to vote
in said Territory, by reason of being on service therein,
unless said Territory is, and has been for the period of six
months, his permanent domicil: Provided further, That no
person belonging to the army or navy of the United States
shall ever be elected to or hold any civil office or appointment in said Territory.
SEC. 6. And be it further enacted, That the Legislative
power of the Territory shall extend to all rightful subjects of
legislation not inconsistent with the Constitution and laws of
the United States. But no law shall be passed interfering with
the primary disposal of the soil; no tax shall be imposed
upon the property of the United States; nor shall the lands or
other property of nonresidents be taxed higher than the lands
[Vol. 0 RCW—page 12]
or other property of residents. All the laws passed by the
Legislative Assembly shall be submitted to the Congress of
the United States, and, if disapproved, shall be null and of
no effect: Provided, That nothing in this act shall be
construed to give power to incorporate a bank or any
institution with banking powers, or to borrow money in the
name of the Territory, or to pledge the faith of the people of
the same for any loan whatever, directly or indirectly. No
charter granting any privileges of making, issuing, or putting
into circulation any notes or bills in the likeness of
bank-notes, or any bonds, scrip, drafts, bills of exchange, or
obligations, or granting any other banking powers or privileges, shall be passed by the Legislative Assembly; nor shall
the establishment of any branch or agency of any such
corporation, derived from other authority, be allowed in said
Territory; nor shall said Legislative Assembly authorize the
issue of any obligation, scrip, or evidence of debt, by said
Territory, in any mode or manner whatever, except certificates for service to said Territory. And all such laws, or any
law or laws inconsistent with the provisions of this act, shall
be utterly null and void. And all taxes shall be equal and
uniform; and no distinctions shall be made in the assessments between different kinds of property, but the assessments shall be according to the value thereof. To avoid
improper influences, which may result from intermixing in
one and the same act such things as have no proper relation
to each other, every law shall embrace but one object, and
that shall be expressed in the title.
SEC. 7. And be it further enacted, That all township,
district, and county officers not herein otherwise provided
for, shall be appointed or elected in such manner as shall be
provided by the Legislative Assembly of the Territory of
Washington.
SEC. 8. And be it further enacted, That no member of
the Legislative Assembly shall hold or be appointed to any
office which shall have been created, or the salary or
emoluments of which shall have been increased while he
was a member, during the term for which he was elected and
for one year after the expiration of such term; but this
restriction shall not be applicable to members of the first
Legislative Assembly; and no person holding a commission
or appointment under the United States shall be a member of
the Legislative Assembly, or shall hold any office under the
government of said Territory.
SEC. 9. And be it further enacted, That the judicial
power of said Territory shall be vested in a supreme court,
district courts, probate courts, and in justices of the peace.
The supreme court shall consist of a chief justice and two
associate justices, any two of whom shall constitute a
quorum, and who shall hold a term at the seat of government
of said Territory annually, and they shall hold their offices
during the period of four years, and until their successors
shall be appointed and qualified. The said Territory shall be
divided into three judicial districts, and a district court shall
be held in each of said districts by one of the justices of the
supreme court, at such times and places as may be prescribed by law; and the said judges shall, after their appointments, respectively reside in the districts which shall be
assigned them. The jurisdiction of the several courts herein
provided for, both appellate and original, and that of the
(2006 Ed.)
Organic Act
probate courts and of justices of the peace, shall be as
limited by law: Provided, That justices of the peace shall
not have jurisdiction of any case in which the title to land
shall in any wise come in question, or where the debt or
damages claimed shall exceed one hundred dollars; and the
said supreme and district courts, respectively shall possess
chancery as well as common-law jurisdiction. Each district
court, or the judge thereof, shall appoint its clerk, who shall
also be the register in chancery, and shall keep his office at
the place where the court may be held. Writs of error, bills
of exception, and appeals, shall be allowed in all cases from
the final decisions of said district court to the supreme court
under such regulations as may be prescribed by law; but in
no case removed to the supreme court shall trial by jury be
allowed in said court. The supreme court, or the justices
thereof, shall appoint its own clerk, and every clerk shall
hold his office at the pleasure of the court for which he shall
have been appointed. Writs of error, and appeals from the
final decisions of said supreme court, shall be allowed, and
may be taken to the Supreme Court of the United States, in
the same manner and under the same regulations as from the
circuit court of the United States, where the value of the
property, or the amount in controversy, to be ascertained by
the oath or affirmation of either party, or other competent
witness, shall exceed two thousand dollars, and in all cases
where the constitution of the United States, or acts of
Congress, or a treaty of the United States, is brought in
question; and each of the said district courts shall have and
exercise the same jurisdiction in all cases arising under the
constitution of the United States and the laws of said
Territory, as is vested in the circuit and district courts of the
United States; writs of error and appeal in all such cases
shall be made to the supreme court of said Territory the
same as in other cases. Writs of error, and appeals from the
final decisions of said supreme court, shall be allowed and
may be taken to the supreme court of the United States in
the same manner as from the circuit courts of the United
States, where the value of the property, or the amount in
controversy, shall exceed two thousand dollars, and each of
said district courts shall have and exercise the same jurisdiction, in all cases arising under the constitution and laws of
the United States, as is vested in the circuit and district
courts of the United States; and also of all cases arising
under the laws of said Territory, and otherwise. The said
clerk shall receive in all such cases the same fees which the
clerks of the district courts of the Territory of Oregon
receive for similar services.
SEC. 10. And be it further enacted, That there shall be
appointed an attorney for said Territory, who shall continue
in office for four years and until his successor shall be
appointed and qualified, unless sooner removed by the
President, and who shall receive the same fees and salary as
is provided by law for the attorney of the United States for
the Territory of Oregon. There shall also be a marshal for
the Territory appointed, who shall hold his office for four
years and until his successor shall be appointed and qualified, unless sooner removed by the President, and who shall
execute all processes issuing from the said courts when
exercising their jurisdiction as circuit and district courts of
the United States; he shall perform the duties, be subject to
the same regulation and penalties, and be entitled to the
same fees, as are provided by law for the marshal of the
(2006 Ed.)
Territory of Oregon, and shall, in addition, be paid the sum
of two hundred dollars annually as a compensation for extra
services.
SEC. 11. And be it further enacted, That the governor,
secretary, chief justice, and associate justices, attorney, and
marshal, shall be nominated, and, by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate, appointed by the President of the
United States. The governor and secretary to be appointed
as aforesaid shall, before they act as such, respectively take
an oath or affirmation before the district judge, or some
justice of the peace in the limits of said Territory duly
authorized to administer oaths and affirmations by the laws
in force therein, or before the chief justice or some associate
justice of the supreme court of the United States, to support
the constitution of the United States, and faithfully to
discharge the duties of their respective offices, which said
oaths, when so taken, shall be certified by the person before
whom the same shall have been taken; and such certificates
shall be received and recorded by the said Secretary among
the executive proceedings; and the Chief Justice and Associate Justices, and all other civil officers in said Territory,
before they act as such, shall take a like oath or affirmation
before the said Governor or Secretary, or some judge or
justice of the peace of the Territory who may be duly
commissioned and qualified, which said oath or affirmation
shall be certified and transmitted, by the person taking the
same, to the Secretary, to be by him recorded as aforesaid;
and afterwards, the like oath or affirmation shall be taken,
certified and recorded in such manner and form as may be
prescribed by law. The Governor shall receive an annual
salary of fifteen hundred dollars as Governor, and fifteen
hundred dollars as Superintendent of Indian affairs. The
Chief Justice, and Associate Justices, shall each receive an
annual salary of two thousand dollars. The Secretary shall
receive an annual salary of fifteen hundred dollars. The said
salaries shall be paid quarterly, from the dates of the
respective appointments, at the Treasury of the United
States; but no such payment shall be made until said officers
shall have entered upon the duties of their respective
appointments. The members of the legislative assembly
shall be entitled to receive three dollars each per day during
their attendance at the session thereof, and three dollars each
for every twenty miles’ travel in going to and returning from
said sessions, estimated according to the nearest usually
traveled route. And a chief clerk, one assistant clerk, a
sergeant-at-arms, and door-keeper, may be chosen for each
house; and the chief clerk shall receive five dollars per day,
and the said other officers three dollars per day, during the
session of the legislative assembly; but no other officers
shall be paid by the United States: Provided, That there
shall be but one session of the legislative assembly annually,
unless, on an extraordinary occasion, the Governor shall
deem it expedient and proper to call the legislature together.
There shall be appropriated, annually, the sum of fifteen
hundred dollars, to be expended by the Governor, to defray
the contingent expenses of the Territory, including the salary
of a clerk of the executive department; and there shall also
be appropriated, annually, a sufficient sum to be expended
by the Secretary of the Territory, and upon an estimate to be
made by the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States,
to defray the expenses of the legislative assembly, the
printing of the laws, and other incidental expenses; and the
[Vol. 0 RCW—page 13]
Organic Act
Governor and Secretary of the Territory shall, in the disbursement of all moneys intrusted to them, be governed
solely by the instructions of the Secretary of the Treasury of
the United States, and shall, semi-annually, account to the
said Secretary for the manner in which the aforesaid sums of
money shall have been expended; and no expenditure, to be
paid out of money appropriated by Congress, shall be made
by said legislative assembly for objects not specially authorized by the acts of Congress making the appropriations, nor
beyond the sums thus appropriated for such objects.
SEC. 12. And be it further enacted, That the laws now
in force in said Territory of Washington, by virtue of the
legislation of Congress in reference to the Territory of
Oregon, which have been enacted and passed subsequent to
the first day of September, eighteen hundred and forty-eight,
applicable to the said Territory of Washington, together with
the legislative enactments of the Territory of Oregon,

the seat of government for said Territory, at such place as
they may deem eligible; which place, however, shall thereafter be subject to be changed by said legislative assembly.
And the sum of five thousand dollars, out of any money in
the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, is hereby appropriated and granted to said Territory of Washington, to be there
applied by the Governor to the erection of suitable buildings
at the seat of government.
SEC. 14. And be it further enacted, That a delegate to
the House of Representatives of the United States, to serve
for the term of two years, who shall be a citizen of the
United States, may be elected by the voters qualified to elect
members of the legislative assembly, who shall be entitled
to the same rights and privileges as have been heretofore
exercised and enjoyed by the delegates from the several
other Territories of the United States to the House of
Representatives, but the delegate first elected shall hold his
seat only during the term of the Congress to which he shall
be elected. The first election shall be held at such time, and
places, and be conducted in such manner, as the Governor
shall appoint and direct; of which, and the time, place, and
manner of holding such elections, he shall give at least sixty
days’ notice by proclamation; and at all subsequent elections
the time, places, and manner of holding the elections shall be
prescribed by law. The person having the greatest number
of votes shall be declared by the Governor to be duly
elected, and a certificate thereof shall be given accordingly.
The delegate from said Territory shall be entitled to receive
the same per diem compensation and mileage at present
allowed the delegate from the Territory of Oregon.
[Vol. 0 RCW—page 14]
SEC. 15. And be it further enacted, That all suits,
plaints, process, and proceedings, civil and criminal, at law
and in chancery, and all indictments and informations, which

case, said actions so pending in the Supreme or Circuit
Courts of the Territory of Oregon shall be, by the clerks of
said courts, duly certified to the proper courts of said
Territory of Washington; and thereupon said causes shall, in
all things concerning the same, be proceeded on, and

United States.
SEC. 16. And be it further enacted, That all justices of
the peace, constables, sheriffs, and other judicial and
ministerial officers, who shall be in office within the limits
of said Territory of Washington when this act shall take

him; but the legislative assembly, at their first or any
