THURSDAY, jan. 7th.


House met.
Minutes read and approved.
The following bills were finally passed:
Council Joint Resolution 6, relative to q
joint committee.
Introduced by Mr.. Toby An act tn
amend an act entitled IAN act au horiz'ng
George Melville to establish ferry across
the Kootenai river, passed January l2'h.
1863"
Introduced bNMr. Toby-An act to levy
tax on persons Of the Mongolian race.
BY some means certain bill or petition
was read by the clerk, which. upon examia-
ton, was found to emanate from M one, as
no members name appeared written upon it.
The Chair decided that the thing in question
was nothing. Quite discussion aros" be-
tween Hon. members as to whether or not
there was anything before the House. Some
maintaining that any thing must be some-
thing; others holding as stoutly that that
thing (meaning the billy was nothing. Sew
eral members desired to take an appral from
the decision Of the Chair. Mr. Bradshaw,
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1864-01-09

consisted Of mere defamation. H. (Ward)
had noticed Dr.. Henry particularly since he
had come to this town, and believed him to
b. a gentleman who attended to his own bus
iness.
Mr.. McGMl said that NJ. Dugan, in offer.
ing his last resolution giving the printing to
NJ. McElroy. had stated that tue arrange
ment was only temporary. upon which state.
m-nt. members opposed to it had let it pass.
He (McGilD thought that Mr.. Dagan sfulti.
fled himself by claiming that the matter was
finally disposed Of by the adoption of his
resolution.
Mr.. McGill could not see what Dr.. Henry
had to do with the question Of printing now
before this House and he could not but
shiuk that every member would see the great
improperly Of the remarks which had been
made concerning that gentle man. DR.. Hen
ry had never said one word t. him (McGil)
or to any one else to his Knowledge for the
purpose Of influencing this printing matter
one way or the other.
Mr.. Bowl-s made some remarks.
Mr.. Bradshaw stated that he was elected
TO tho House by the Union party-that he
held himself responsible for his vote OH any
question: OuIy 10 HIS C"tiSiuutuCy' ""' wv
based his course in this matter upon the in-
structions Of the Comptroller to the Secre-
tary. That h. knew Mr.. Barnes we'll and
should b. glad to SEE him have the printing,
but believed the Secretary had the right to
appoint. Was not acquainted with Dr.
Henry, and did not endorse the charges
made against him for the reason that he did
not know them to b. true.
Motion 10 lay on the table lost
Rules suspended and resolution finally
passed.
The following bills were finally passed:
Introduced by Mr.. MCCLELLAN act to
provide fee of 81 for the recording OF mar
riagr certificates.
Introduced by Mr.. Bowles-an act to n''-
thorize Lewis Van Vppt and f. c. Hardy to
keep ferry across the Columbia river.
Introduced by Mr.. Prrrin-an act to locate
Territorial road in Skamahia and Clakatat
counties.
Council Bill No. 2-.o incorporate the
Saohomish and Shiwamish Log Driving Co.
House adjourned.

SATURDAY MORNING, JAN. 9, 1864.
Nv his own Words is he Condemned.

BY his own Words is he Condemned.
On "Wednesday last, the Srcrrtarys repre-
sentative in the House, upon a question OF
privilege. read from the STANDARD Of Feb.
I'd. 1861, an editorial commenting upon the
proclamation of Acting Governor McGi0 APP
pointing james Lodge Public Printer.
We quote paragraph, rrgrttting We have
not space to ppublish the whole article:
sss ave envy not our cotcmpory for his success
in attaining this prize but we are at loss to CONCEIVE
where any authority is found in the laws OF
Territory for such upon the part OF the Gov-
erno, Did he fall back on the theory OF the Ch'e JUS
tice Of the Territory in usyiny the usupaton OF Iov-
ernor McGi in the removal OF another Legs!at'e up
pointee on the ground that by the Organic Act dis.
bursting officer is only responsible to the Secretary OF
the Treasury and is not amenable to the Territorial
law, ~ would have no comments to make.
As far as the STANDARD is concerned, we
have nothing to take blackburn position as
oct forth in the editorial of three years ago
being substantially our position to-day upon
the printing question; but it does seem strange
to US that the Secretary should manifest 60
much anxiety to justify himself from "the
musty records Of the past" after the whole
matter has BEEN finally disposed Of. It he feels
a. we'll satisfied with himself as We are told
he DOES by Mess,s. Dagan and Holbrook ;
and stranger still that while his friends here
on every occasion claimed for him that the ap-
pointmept Of Mr.. Lodge by Acting Governor
McGill was exactly tho same in principle rs
the appointment Of Mr.. McElroy by Mr.. Ev-
ans, In should permit them to parade the ar,i-
Gle from which the above is an extract. MS
either rejecting upon our consistency or being
creditable to himself in any shape whatever.
Mr.. Dugnn uniformly speaks of the STAND
ARD in terms which preclude the idea that he
has ever read or perusrd filr Of it. The Sec
rotary. on the contrary, has in other days
been admitted behind our sanctum curtains.
