The President to experience great trouble with
his Governors Of the Territories The principal charges
against Mr. Ashley that he had deserted the epuD
can party and that no using hIs Official position 10
aid the enemies Of the Administration. Now similar
charges are made against Mr.. Flanders. Governor OF
Washington Territory. Mr.. Garfield, the Delegate 10
Congress from Washington Territory, makes the charge
against Gov. Flanders, and his removal Is threat
ened Gov Flanders arrived here few days ago, ana
today visited theiPresden denied the truth or MI Car
fields statements and makes the counter charge that
Garfield Is not Republican. HE presented to the Pres
dent a copy of letter said to have been written By Gar
field to Mr. Nesmith OF Oregon when that gentle
man was member of;thc United States Senate

simple article OK repeating them all ana then re-
enacting them with notifications as revised CODE
The Legislature waited until within six days OF the time
