Messrs. Keitt and Grow.

On the Monday following the disgraceful
proceedings in the House Of Representatives
at Washington, Mr.. Keitt rose to personal
explanation, saying that the House would
remember that its proceedings during tho
session Of Friday, were broken in an un-
pleasant manner. 1t was due that he
should assume to himself all the responsible
ity for the violation Of its order, dignity,
and decorum. He was the aggressor and
whatever Of responsibility properly attached
to that act belonged to him alone. It was
also due to justice that he should make what.
ever reparation it was in his power to mako
to the dignity and decorum of the House
thus violated. He did this in expression of
his profound regret at the occurrence. Per-
sonal collisions are always unpleasant and
very seldom justi6able-never in a legislative
body. He felt the full force of the responA
sibility which he assumed in saying that he
was the aggressor, and that the entire re-
sponsibility properly belonged to him. In
this connection he had but one other remark
to make, and that was whether any blow
was directed at him or not was more than
he could say; at least he was unconscious of
having received it. With this explanation
he parted with the subject -.......
Mr.. Grow said that he had been taught in
childhood that all fights among men are dis
graceful to human nature and to christianity
and this is especially the case when they
occur among lawmakers in the midst Of
deliberations. Ripper years and the force of
education satisfied him that this lesson was
good and true one. Yet the right Of self
defence he recognized as one Of the inalien-
able rights Of man, to be exercised on all
occasions and under all circumstances when
ever necessary for the protection Of life or
property. He at the last sitting tho House
found himself Unexpectedly entanged in tho
first personal conflict. For this he rendered
to the House most cbeerfullv whatever apo
logy was due for this violation Of its order
and decorum, and no one regretted moro
than himself the occasion for the violation
of its order.

An Important Point-Questions Fairly Put
and Squarely Answered

The idea has been industriousIy proclaim
ed by the Black Republicans and Others
that inasmuch as the Lecompton Constitution
makes no provision for its amendment before
1864, therefore, the people have no right to
change it before that time. 1t has also been
argued by the Black Republicans that this is
the Southern doctrine. How true this is,
may be gathered from the 70 lowing point
ed colloquy which took place in the midst
of speech made in the United States Senate
by Gov. Brown, of Mississippi:
"Mr. Pugh inquired whether the Senator
from Mississippi, (Mr. BROWN believed the
people of Kansas could alter the Constitution
prior to 1864. He only desired to ascertain
the Senator's opinion.
"Mr. Brown replied that he had admitted
that right, and should have admitted it, even
had it been declared on every page of that
instrument that it should not be altered.
All that he demanded was that this right
should be exercised under the forms of law,
and not by mob violence.
"Mr Trumbul inquired whether the Sen
ator would admit that the legislature could
pass law to change the constitution.
"Mr. Brown said that he did not expect
to be asked to point out to republicans how
the constitution could be changed but he
would tell them. If they have not already
secured majority in the legislature, when
the next election comes on, let them 60 to
the polls like quiet, peaceable, and orderly
citizens, and elect their legislature and their
governor. Then let the legislature appoint
a day when the people themselves can elect
delegates to convention which shall change
it. The legislature has no power to change
word or syllable of the constitution; but
they can appoint day when the PEOPLE
can assemble under the forms Of law and elect
a convention which can change the constitu-
ton, epen against the acords Of the Constitu-
ton itself.

Admission of Kansas,

The Washington correspondent Of the New
York (Dem.) Negs, says of the action Of the
Senate upon the admission of Kansas, that
"In regard to this Lecompton Constitution,
which is to become the rock upon which the
piratical craft of Black "Republicanism, !"
with Its free niger worshipping crew, is to
be dashed to pieces, Kansas will be admitted
under it, as have before stated, just as soon
as the Senate can reasonably pass bill,
without waiting for the report of the House
Committee of Fifteen. The only modifca-
ton which said Constitution will probably
undergo is that the slavery clause, prevent
ing it's abolishment until 1868, will be strck-
en- out. There are not, | will venture, ten
Southern men in both Houses of Congress
but who desire that it will be.
AS regards free niggers or slaves in Kansas,
the South are convinced that they have not
the power, neither have they the desire, l
believe to introduce slavery into territory
where it is so plainly evident it could not
exist sufficient length of time to make the
oject desirable. And as the Democratic
party have many time and oft repeated,
Kansas would to-day have been within the
Union as free State but for the medde-
some Kansas Aid Societies, and humbug
"Republican" land spectators. This is a
settled purpose to push this measure through,
believing that Kansas will never be so free
to regulate her domestic institutions in her
own way as when she becomes State"
SPIRITED Surr.-In Baltimore suit has
been instituted against the gas company for
retailing whiskey without license. 1t appears
that the company fill the metres with whis-
key, in the winter, to preventfreeing and
the party bringing the suit had to pay
80 cents for it. Hence the suit.

McNulty has just received large stock

USELESS LABoR.-A fellow named George
Lowering was sentenced short time ago to
twelve months imprisonment in our county
Jail, for having his possession burgarious
tools, few days since the jailor ascertained
that Lowering had, by some means, procur-
ed small crowbar and saw, and had been
80 far accommodating as to saw the shack
les from one Of the prisoners who is awaiting
trial under an indictment for murder. For
his ingenuity and industry Lowering, who
was before unsbackled, has been put in irons,
and closely confined to his cell where a
wholesome restraint, in future, will be exer-
cised upon his free disposition to work.

Placer Co., Elliott & Gragg; Oregon Co.,
Lawrence Bros; Watermelon Co., Sheldon &

will be abundantly realized by the enterpris-

FAILURE OF THE CUMBERLAND CITY
BANK Causes Of ats DowJaU.--The
failure of this bank, on Friday last,
having been much commented upon, in
financial circles, the Cumberland Civil
ian details at length, the causes Of its
downfall. That paper says:
"There were many causes combined
to effect the ruin Of this institution, Of
which We might mention, prejudice
ofcertain individuals, who exerted them
selves with unceasing efforts to bring
odium upon the concern, and bring it
into disrepute--some persons failing
to make capital out Of the bank, also
used every effort to injure its credit and
standing-and last week, the refusal
of New York Honse to pay two GER
tain drafts drawn upon them by the
City Bank, has obliged it to close its
doors, make an assignment, and 60 into
liquidation"
AS to the extent of the failure tho
Civilian says its debts are not great
and that its circulation cannot exceed
800, 900. All of its depositors have
been paid, and a few poor men will con-
sequently suffer. Creditors are also
called upon not to sacrifice their notes.
