admirer Of Col. Simmons, we cannot-will
not-uphoId him in this act Of recreancy
He has not the shadow Of an apology fol
his act. After 43 democrats had consent
cd, for The sake Of harmony, TO forcgo Mei,
choice in man 10 whom they were com
mitted, aud take up SIS choice for the pur.
pose of securing the cooperation of Col
S. and four ether democrats, it would ap
pear that men had done all in their power
to crafty an unreasonable man. The Col
should remember that he holds one of the
few citizen appointments in the Territory
That with very little labor lie earns large
salary; in fact clerk has been generously
allowed him, who performs about all the
work there is to DO in bis Office. That the
$500 salary, which his son annually draws
as interpreter in his department, is sina
cure, earned by the sale labor of signing
quarterly, vouchers based upon no other la
Dor performed than year after walking
over his fathers plantation. That the in
difference expressed in an i don't care if ]
am removed" can never be believed by
those who know the facility with which the
Col. eau spend bis salary. lie, or any
other man, will soon discover the difference
of making living by holding lucrative
federal position, and that Of sustaining Q
large family and keeping up lavish ex
pendture by the ak and maui The Col
should remember to be democrat, or tC
retain position under that partyfhe, AZ
well as any other man, must expect to dc
party duty.

the last session of the legislature, "to pro-
vide for election returns in certain council

are now nearly completed, and will be
ready for distribution in a week or two.

and to which we would direct the attention
of auditors, are as follows:
