About Alcalde Nash's conduct & pub. matters in the district: the archives of the dist. are yet in possession of Mr. Nash, for he has access to them tho' they are deposited in the garrison; he has the key that unlocks the case containing them; refuses to surrender them or point them out; still claims to be rightly an officer, & has even exercised the powers of Alcalde in one instance by permitting a suit to be instituted before him & trying it, & this trial held in daytime in a room in the garrison; Nash & his supporters have held a meeting & are circulating petitions praying the Gov. to reinstate him; 'the masses of the people do not act thus — it is all the work of a lawyer Green, Nash himself, and artificial stimulus, viz. brandy'; recommends the Gov. to station in Sonoma an officer of regular army of U.S. and a small company of regular troops
