the best interests of the Territory, as ever
entered the brain of fanatic.
The last day of the session at length came,
and with it rather rich joke not wholly
without its lesson. During the passing of
party measures through the Council, of course
the Democracy were in the minority. This
enabled the Republicans to choke off discus
sion frequently, without authority of law, or
the rules of Jeferson's Manual" Upon
several occasions this was done with impuni-
ty, and the Chair, sustained by majority, of
course, and at the expense of the minority.
However, an opportunity occurred for little
sport, which had been concocted in the House,
by going into Joint Convention, and reso-
luton was passed through both Houses to
that effect Here was an opportunity to get
justice, as we would have clear working
majority. A series of resolutions reviewing
the conduct of Federal officers, who had been
sent amongst US, were hastily drawn up, and
at an opportune moment offered by Mr.. Fem
.FE
of the Council, from Idaho. In moment
the countenances of the Opposition members
changed from the self-satisfed smile of tri-
umph won by them, for the last three weeks,
to the most blank look of surprise. The
reader can better imagine the lueicrous
spectacle presented if, in his schoolboy days,
he has seen large boy domineer, tyrannize
over, and tantalize smaller one before the
whole school until, by some unforeseen in
cident, he comes suddenly in contact with his
victim and finds himself completely in his
power. As might be expected from former
conduct, the "big boy" ran away. Thus it
proved with the Council majority-they
"bolted" from the house, disgracefully leav-
ing the field, and refusing to accept an equal
show and a fair fght-saluted with shouts of
laughter from the LOBBY as they went. This
is Republican honor and sound Republican
principles.
~ TIE CAPITAL, AND OTHER QUESTIONS.
The Capital question is becoming rather q
vexed one to everybody. Your correspondent
not being in the ring: can give but little infor-
nation with regard to it. Blackstone seems
to have been consulted in the matter and, if
correctly interpreted by SOME of the Solons,
fear they will decide the last Assembly a
bogus body sure enough. This will sadly in
terfere with the operation Of many healthy
laws passed during the last session.
| The different applicants for the Office Of
Territorial Auditor and Territorial Treasurer,
will also materially retard the business in
those Offices. have just learned that DR.. NJ

junction are being served on D. S. Kenyon
forbidding him delivering over to either any
books, records, or papers, belonging to sale
ofice,-to which he also puts in claim tha
he was duly appointed to for the term pre-
scribed by the statute, viz: two years.
These numerous questions will hardly b,
decided until near the expiration Of the tern
claimed by Kenyon. Thus the matter stands
