plugged about their mails, Mr.: Kaach, has
failed from some cause to commence his service.
We hear it stated that he has not received Of
fetal notice of the acceptance his bid. 1t
this be 80, gross carelessness must exist some
where. The anderson now refuses to carry
the mails, and the Shxbrick is taken off from
her proper duty to perform mail service, af-
fording during her absence from her proper
field Of duty, free range for smuggling goods
into the Territory. If this delay in notify.
lug the contractor is the fault Of the depart
ment at Washington, it is but commensurate
with the remarkable neglect in furnishing the
new Secretary his proper credentials by which
to enter upon thorough discharge Of the du-
ties of his Office, causing farce to be enacted
not dissimilar in its details to that Of the
1.-Two Gregory's." We hope our Delegate
in Congress will attend to this matter, and see
that no future neglect cnsues, ofttlmes 30 dot
rimental to the interests Of our people.

are copying paragraph, started probably by
some wiseacre correspondent Boosting Of a
weeks residence in our Territory, in which
the whole amount subscribed to the Sanitary
commission in this Territory is set down at
about $4,000. We have stated the exact
amount subscribed several times, and we are
at loss to know how the mistake should
gain circulation. b. it known. then. WASH
iugton Territory has subscribed about $l2..
900 for this laudible purpose. The Sound re-
gion, alone. has subscribed nearly $4,000.
