SHOULD BE MADE RIGHT. r.-During
the civil war, says the Examiner,
Secretary Stanton arbitrarily dis
missed the celebrated DR.. Hammond.
now of New York, from the position
of Surgeon General, and refused
him hearing. It was one of Stan
toms many outrageous acts. A bill
is now before Congress to relieve
DIR. Hammond of the disgrace which
still unjrstly rests upon his name in
consequence of the dismissal. 1t
will likely pass, as it ought to" :"
There is one of the noblest, best and
bravest men on the Northwest who
was served in a similar manner, and
removed without cause or justifiea
ton. We refer to Major George 0,
Haller, of WILDLY Island. W. T.,
and trust that some man in Congress
will introduce bill for the relief of
Major Haller.-Portland Standard.
Major Haller was dismissed under
Stanton on the evidence of a single
witness who had but just been releas-
ed from an insane asylum. and al
though application was made for
court martial by the major, no hear
ing of the case was had. A bill has
been introduced in Congress for his
relief, but it is still pending.
ADJoURNED.-The county commits
sioners having completed the bust
ness before them, adjourned the ses-
sion yesterday afternoon. Before
adjourning commissioner was ap-
pointed to superintend the building
of bridge across Black river at
Fosters Ferry, Messrs. Maddocks
and O'Brien agreeing and Mr..
Stearns dissenting. The bridges
is to be built according to the
plan furnished by II. A. Atkins, and
the contract will be let at public
outcry, after twenty days notice by
posted notices.
The OTHER SIDE.-We have re-
ceived a note from L. Samuels. pub
Usher of the Vest Shore, in which
he says: Il never told DeLashmutt
or Oatman, or any agent of theirs,
that had in type or would have in
the West Shore, any article concern
ing their business, nor did [ seek to
levy blackmail by seeking any sum
of money from them As we gave
the other side of the question, it is
but just that we allow Mr.. Samuels
to tell his side. He claims that the
| Bee had an sake of their own to
grind"
The MYRTLE PARTY.--Owing to
the large number of invitations is
sued-some 45, we believe-to the
first invitation party of the Myrtle
Club this evening. the committee
have found it Necessary to engage
Yesler's Hall, instead OF Reinig's as
heretofore stated. No exertions have
been spared to make this the pleas
ATTEST party of the season; for if
the Myrtle youths don't know how
to get up such affairs, no one else
does.
COAST SuRvEY.-Capt. j. J. Gil
bert, of the U. s. coast survey, who
was stationed last Summer on the
lower Columbia river, has been or
dered to Puget Sound with his party.
Next summer he will survey Hoods
canal. He will bs provided with a
steam yacht, now being fitted up at
Mare Island.
