A lengthy critique targets a February 8 editorial and the late Territorial Council's handling of Bradshaw's removal. The letter accuses the editor of misrepresenting views and defends council members while accusing others of bargaining and political maneuvering. It highlights claimed inconsistencies and questions motives behind votes and dismissals, reflecting partisan tensions in Vancouver Island politics of the era.
A chaotic week unfolds as Judge Hewitt clashes with Judge Wyeth over clerkship authority in the territory. Amid court disputes an attach detour leads to Hewitt's removal, while Alaska letters describe weather, governance, and prospects for settlement at Vancouver and nearby sites.
A lengthy recounting of a Territory gathering where Speaker Johnson hosted remarks on race, politics, and national policy. The discourse attacked black rights, praised white leadership, and questioned postwar reconstruction, naming judges, politicians, and factions while contrasting views of Fessenden, Pendleton, Grant, Stevens, and others.
A verbose critique cites an April Oregonian editorial denouncing Judge Wyche for adopting a conciliatory, apologist stance toward the South and its war repercussions. The piece condemns him for praising former Confederate sympathies, attacking Radical opposition, and portraying Southern Republicans as degraded.
A bill introduced by Mr. Jones of Shia county imposes an annual dog tax on all dogs aged four months and older. The law sets $1 for the first male, $2 for each additional male, and $3 for each female dog, with county assessors collecting and delivering taxes to the county welfare fund. Nonpayment risks penalties, while dogs without owners may be killed. The act also ties dog ownership to keeping sheep and other domestic animals safe, with owners liable for damages.
