TIE True DocrRSE.-lhe Hon. Daniel
S. Dickinson, in a recent letter to his polit-
cal friends at Washington, sustaining tho
course Of the President on the Kansas ques-
ton, has the following, which is the strong
est defence of the correctness Of the position
of the majority in Congress, that can b.
given, and places the opposition in such an
an'i-democratic attitude, that he who runs
may see it, at glance:
"lf Congress may reject constitution be-
cause its details were not submitted to the
people Of the Territory, it may, in like man
ner, manifest its ,lisapprobation because they
were. If it may intervene to compel sub
mission to the people, it may intervene to
prevent submission; if it may reject con
stituton for the sole canSe that it authorizes
slavery, it may reject it because it does not;
and popular sovere gnty becomes but anoth-
er name for federal despotism."

Accidental Adverse Influences.

Those conversant with the manner of do
ing business in the Legislature are very we'll
aware that bills which are not acceptable to
interested parties, often encounter after they
nave passed the Legislature, kind of oppo-
sitlon, which, out of courtesy, we will call
accidental. They are frequently wrongly en-
roled-sometimes mistakes are made in en-.
grossing occasionally an amendment gets
misplaced; bill is mislaid between the two
Houses, and sometimes is lost entirely. OF
course, all these mistakes and bunders must
be charged to accident. If intentionally
done the proof is lacking.
The peril to which bills are thus exposed
is admirably illustrated by the history Of the
bill to regulate the number and fix the paw
of the officers and attaches of the next Leg
islature. This is unquestionably one Of The
best laws of the session, and received the
full Endorsement of both Houses. Being an
Assembly bill it was, after the Senate had
passed it, to be reported back to the Assem-
bly,, from which body it would 60 to the
Governor. On Sunday last, it was ascertain
ed by some of the friends of the bill, that it
had not been sent to the Governor. A search
was Immediately instituted for it, by Lieut..
Governor Walkup, and Messrs. Stafford and
Ballou. They found that the bill had been
reported among the Senate messages to the
Assembly as passed, but that the bill itself
had not been returned to that body. After
a pretty long search it was found in the room
of the Secretary Of the Senate by Lieutenant
Governor Walkup. Through some neglect
it was not Endorsed, and so was left among
other papers not considered important. The
Enrolling Clerk was found and Immediately
commenced enrolling it, as directed by the
Lieutenant Governor; Mr.. Ballou waited un-
til it was enrolled, and then took it himself
to the Governor for his approval. But for
the watchfulness and energy of these gen.
tlemen, the bill to limit the number Of off,
GERS and attaches would have been left among
the unfinished business of the session. 1t is
often SAID "there is method in Madness" we
are almost induced to believe there is method
in accidents, or they would not happen in
such regular order against bill which par
ties about the Legislature were interested in
defeating. Sac. Union.

Ess- Gov Weller approved the act post
poning the election of Supreme Clerk until
1859. The Governors stra aghtforward and
manly course has met our fullest expectations
and most heartily do we indorse him as an
excellent officer; but we do object to his ap-
proval Of the above bill. The precedent es,
tablished by it is certainly bad. Legislate
by this act, and plenty of other officials will
soon be ready to ask for the same favor. We
may err, but are inclined to think this bill
will be productive of similar bad fruit at an
other session.

Returned.

The labors of the legislative session hav-
ing closed, the members have rapidly desert
ed the capitol with desire generally to re-
turn to their homes and occupations, and
again assume their places in the private
walks of life, from which they were called
by the partiality of their constituency and
dsrobing themselves of the mantle of office,
seek that retirement which is rem cred doub!v
pleasant to legislators, who fully apprecia-
ting the responsibility of the position to
which they were elected, have labored dill
gently and faithfully for the welfare of the
State.
Ofsur own representatives we have had
the pleasure of meeting our worthy 1t. Gov
ernor, Senator Anderson, and Messrs. SAT-
ford and Curtis, of the House, and wecom-
ing them back TO old Placer, where their
integrity and straightforward consistency is
fully appreciated.
1t has been the good fortune of our dele
CATION to have give pretty general satisfac-
ton to their constituency in their acts and
votes; and it has been a matter of county
pride that our representatives have stood
firm in support of the right, and inhexbly
opposed to the wrong.

DEpIcArIoN.-The handsome new hall of
the Odd Fellows in Holmes fire-proof build
ing, was dedicated yesterday with appropri-
ate and interesting ceremonies. Members
of the Order, from distance, were here in
numbers to participate. The procession
formed at the Masonic building, and pro-
ceeded by the Auburn Brass Band, marched
to the new hall, where the usual dedication
services were performed; after which uniting
again in procession, they marched to the
Court House and listened to an able lecture
from J. A. Brewster Esq.
The lateness of the hour prevents a more
detailed statement of the services of the

A CuR1osITY.-On Lieut.. Gov. Walkup's
ranch can now be seen another evidence Of
the wonderful producing properties of Cal
ifornia soil and climate. The fruit trees on the
ranch received their usual pruning early in
the Spring and the cuttings thrown aside
several weeks subsequent these branches
were stuck in pea patch for the purpose of
training up the vines, and to the astonish
ment of all the apple cuttings have bloomed,
and are now white with apple blossoms.

Seward thanks Them.

Mr.. SEWARD has made Il speech in the Sen
ate presenting his views on the Kansas ques-
ton. He regards Kansas ~ lost to - freedom
that is, GbolaioHiSni-at present, and pro-
claims the object of the contest now in prog
ress to be to regain it. In the following para
graph he thanks outsiders for coming to the
aid of the " freedom shriekcrs:''
popular sovereignty is an epic of two
parts. Part the first presents freedom in Kan
sas lost. Part the second, if you will consent
to write II, shall he freedom IN Kansas TegIiled.
1t is on This ground that hail the eminent SEN
ator from Illinois (Mr. Douglas) and his ASSOC
ciates, the distinguished senator from Michi-
gan. MIR. Stuart and the youthful but most
brave senator from California (Nlr. Brodcrick }
The late Mr.. Clay told us that Providence has
many ways for saving nations God forbid
that should consent to see freedom wounded
because my own lead or even my own agency
in saving il should be rejected. I 'ciH cheer
fully cooperate ruth these defeRders Of Mis ST.
cred cause IN Kansas, and will award them all
due praise, when we shall have been SUCCESS
full, for their large share of merit in its dcliv-
erance."
We trust that Southern men, of all parties,
who have been disposed to sustain Mr.. DouG-
LAS will learn lesson from this brief para
graph. They cannot escape the consequences
Of having c0operated with enemies of the
South, to conquer Kansas for +" freedom" if
they fatally continue in the course they have
been Inclined to pursue. The " sacred cause"
of freedom in Kansas is the canse of Abo-
litionism and Black Republicanism, and the
Southern man who persists in sustaining it,
must alternately be consumed by the indig-
nant wrath of the Southern people.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin, of Friday.
Suicide of a Young Wife.


ing affair occurred at the house of James
Barnes, on the east side of Eighth street be-
low Federal. 1t seems that Mr.. and Mrs.
Barnes have been married but about four
months. They lived happily together until
very recently, when whispers of an intrigue
between the husband and a former lover reach
ed the ears of the wife. Mrs. Barnes was
much attached to her husband, and being very
sensitive. this rumor gave her much uneasi-
ness and she talked over her troubles to her
friends. 1t seems that the intrigue referred to
took place before the marriage of Mr.. and
Mrs. Barnes, but its evidences have but just
been made manifest.
This morning, about nine o'clock, Mrs.
Barnes went up stairs, and told her husband,
who had not yet left his bedroom, that man
who was in the habit of visiting the house was
below stairs, and desired to see him, Mr. b.
The latter went down stairs and found the
man referred to. 4 moment after the report
of a pistol was heard up stairs, and Mr.. b.,
suspecting the worst, ran to a closet down
stairs. where he kept a revolver, and found
that the weapon was gone. The husband and
his visitor hurried up stairs, and found the
wife lying upon the floor of the bedroom,
shot through the heart, and the revolver still
grasped in her hand. She was dead.

Automatic cipsey story.

\ story is atioat, and some gossip has been
accustomed in Cumberland County Pa, by
the following circumstances
I" Mr.. George Fry, of Shippcnsburg married
a gpsey girl belonging to a gang who were
haunting the neighborhood, about three years
ago. The gipsey girls father was so enraged
at this that he kidnapped her, and sent her to
parts unknown. Mr.. Fry mourned her loss
two years, and then married again. But. says
the Shipscnsburg Neirs: Last week. Mr.. Fry Is
fra Wife-his gipsey wife-in company with
George Fry the second, arrived in this place
in search of him! By the assistance of officer
Shade, she was successful in finding him.
Limited space forbids us from entering
into details nj this time, of the circulating
suffering Mrs. Fry has undergone since her
departure from this place. The intelligence
of the husband second marriage was a severe
shock TO her, but she emphatically declares
her exclusive right To him. 1t appears, by the
way that Mr.. Fry ssecond wife was "a widow"
that her husband went to California some
years ago, and soon after his arrival there, il
was reported that he was murdered. A few
weeks since letter was received from him by
her, We have been informed, in which he states
that he will return in the next steamer, DC.
