Portland Correspondence of the 8. F. Bulletin.
Federal officials in Washington Territory
tell tho Truth about each other.
Another many-sided muss I will give you
an account Of, without wishing to take hand
in it. The present Surveyor-Gen Of that
Territory is DR.. Henry, an old-tims Wing
politician Of Springfield. Illinois, and thence
to Oregon in 1852. At the coming in Of this
Administration, he was appointed Surveyor
General for Washington Territory, as an old
friend and hacker of COL Baker and President
Lincoln. About the same time, B. F. Ken
dali, formerly of Maine, and afterwards for
some years a resident on Puget Sound, was
appointed Superintendent Of Indian Affairs
for the Territory. 1t is understood that his
appointment was made at the suggestion of
Gen. Scott, in consideration of some secret
and perilous [!ll service hc had performed for
the Republic on voyage Of discovery to
New Orleans, just after the commencement Of
the war.
Scarcely had these distinguished gentlemen
got warm in their official nests, before it be.
gan to appear that the Territory was not
large enough to hold them both, particularly
as it was supposed by each that the other
was in the interest of a different Oregon
Senator from himself. Kendall, without tact.
decisive and brusque, commenced overhauling
the Reservations, and giving what he deemed
unnecessary or unauthorized employees their
designations. In the course Of this ungracious
task. he very unceremoniously ousted Father
Wilbur from the position Of teacher at the Yak
ina Reservation. The latter is an old resi-.
dent of this country, shrewd and indefatigable
"a member Of the M. f. Conference, and
very generally esteemed. The Church took
up his cause against Kendall, and Henry.
nothing 10th, joined hands with them from the
worldly or political side Of the question. The
matter hung FIRE for some months at Wash.
ington; but finally Kendall went to tho wall.
and Mr.. Hale was appointed as his success.
sor and Father Wilbur returned to the Yak.
lima.
And now, Kendall having lost his official
head, very naturally. as the world gocs. desires
to sec Hcnry's roll in the same basket. To
this end he has been ventilating Hcnry's pri-
vatc and official life in the columns Of the local
press, in language and terms more strong than
polite-commenciug in one instance with tho
ibellous interrogatory, Have We a..swindler
among us I" To this the Doctor has replied
at length. in pamphlet well fortified with
letters and strong asscverations, which upon
it's face is sufficient answer to the speci6ca
tions made under the general charge. The
following paragraplffrom tho editorial column
Of the Orsgos;as. shows the latest phase Of

and further that Poe was compelled to give
up the press and material Of tho Overlasd
P,ess establishment to Mr.. james Lodge, the
former proprietor Of that establishments. not
being able to pay for the same according to
purchase contract. Mr.. Lodge turned the
material over to Gen. w. w. Miller, Attorney
for Edward Furste, and Gen. Miller cold the
establishment to B. +. Kendall. who will prob-
ably continue the publication Of the paper, or
a paper, for short time. An opportunity
will thus be afforded Mr.. Kendall to make =

good people Of the country to judge which
