On November 7, 1871, Stephen Friel Nuckolls was selected to serve as President of the Council and Ben Sheeks was selected to serve as Speaker of the House of Representatives.^[2]

In November, legislation was proposed that would repeal the legislation giving women the right to vote that was passed in 1869.^[3] The House of Representatives voted nine to three in favor of the legislation, with all nine Democratic members voting in favor and three Republican members voting against.^[4][5] The legislation later passed the Council with five to four voting in favor.^[6] However, the legislation was vetoed by Governor John Allen Campbell. The House of Representatives voted in favor of overturning his veto, but the Council did not.^[7]

On December 18, the Council approved Governor Campbell's nominations of J. H. Hayward for Auditor and J. W. Donnan for Treasurer.^[8]
