RIGHTS OF TURNPIKE CoMPANIEs.---An unsuc-
cessful attempt has been made to repeal the Act
which gives the county Board of Supervisors the
right to fix rates of toll upon turnpike roads
Mr. Berry, of Siskiyou, thought the existing law
oppressive in the mountain counties and that
men of enterprise would not build roads If 9TH
ers were to regulate their charges. Mr.. Berry
spoke very unwisely and against the interests Of
the people he represents. No instance has occur
red where the action Of Supervisors has been ar
bitrary and unjust. On the other hand, give a
turnpike company unrestrained control of fhe
only highway to place shut in by mountains i'm
passable elsewhere, and their cupidity might
levy a tax which would defeat tho purposes Of
improved roads Public sentiment would con
demn the spiteful arbitrary action of Super
visor and remove him from Office, but for the ex
orbitant demands of board of road trustees
there would be no remedy but submission oil

Douglas and the President.

The grand spectacle in the arena of politics.
now, is the dssenton of two leading statesmen in
their Interpretation of what constituted popular
sovereignty. One is recognized by all the pow
ers of the world as the head of great nation,
the other is restless, never-sleeping intelligence,
who came from the workshops of the people to
the dignity of q Senator, the workings of whose
ambitious mind are felt in the remotest State of
the confederacy, distractng parties and turning
every eye to the author of the discord No man
of the age has called forth execratons more
cureefu1 none has oftener been pronounced
"trator," yet patiently and sleeplessly has Doug
las worked on, bnlding the pyramid Of his fame,
stone by stone, until he now stands prominently
before the world, in stubborn antagonism with
the embodiment of administrative power.
The points of dispute are not many. Mr.. Bu-
chanan believes that the Kansas Nebraska act re-
quires the slavery question, only, to be Submitted
to vote Of the people, and that other articles in
the State Constitution were not required to be
submitted Douglas maintains that the repeal OF
the Missouri restriction and the Nebraska bill
were meant TO carry out the great principle OF
selfgovernment, which left the people of a new
State or Territory to choose and regulate their
own domestic institutions, subject, only, to the
Federal Constitution. lie believes that if the
slavery clause must be submitted it inevitably
follows that every other article Of the Constitu
tion will be invalid unless submitted to and
adopted by the people Of Kansas He argues
that the delegates TO the Lecompton Convention
were sent, not to make a government, but to
frame Constitution for popular approval or re-
iection--that Gov. Walker was instructed to pro-
tect the polls by military force while that Consti
tuition was being voted on. He asserts, moreover
that fair vote on the slavery question has moi
been had-tbat the people of Kansas couldn't vote
for or against slavery without first voting for 8
Constitution whose provisions they disapproved
and that every man opposed to that Constitution
was disfranchised on the slavery clause.
Mr. Douglas declares that if the Lecompton
Constitution is to be forced down the throats o
Congress, without endorsement by the people o
Kansas, be will resist it to the last as a violation
of the fundamental principles of free government
and will do so without fear Of party association
being severed.

We established the Citizen, and during three
years, felt little pride in the popular favor it

that paper printed among the mountains, on the

offensive and after recovering from seduction it
fell prey to the fre-6end.

CHANGING NAMEs.-Senator Burch introduced
and sustained bill designed to rid the Legsla-
ture of frequent applications TO change names,
and to give the several District Courts authority
to grant or refuse applications of this sort. The
bill requires notices of such application to be
published in three newspapers, three months. 1t
passed to third reading, and was laid on the Ia
BILE. Mr. Bell took occasion to make a very long
and nonsensical speech on the subject, which cost
the State a great deal more than his services arc
worth. If there be anything especially contempt
able, it is the act of ordinarily dull person
who attempts to be ornamental where he was de-
signed for general utility, only.

The BIG JUDGE.-We have seen DR.. Scotts
book, called "The Hebrew Hercules, or, the
Giant Judge" being a circumstantial history Of
the doings, real and imaginary, of one Samson.
We have no doubt but what the work is excel
lent, and shall not read it for fear of dispeling
the illusion. We regard the author as a stupcn-
dous ecclesiastical humbug; a learned narrator
of what other men have said. The illustrations
of the book look more like California mining
sketches than anything else the foxes, whose
tails the "Giant Judge" is said to have tied to-
gether, bear a strong resemblance to Coyotes es-
Gaping from burning tules.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1858-02-06

MINING IN TRINITY.-As far as we have heard
mining is prosperous in most localities of the
county, although the supply of water ia limited.
The mines on Sydney Hill, and all through the
Weavervlle BASIN are doing prosperous bust
ness. Siroupe Creek, North Of Ridgeville, is pay
ing well. Water was let into the Ridgeville
ditch on the 4tb, which will supply most Of the
claims there. Van Matre & Co., at Canada Hill,
opposite Bates Ranch, have been making out
well during the week. Favorable reports reach
MS from Lewiston, Indian Creek Canon City, Or
egon Gulcb, and all parts Of Trinity river.
After while we mean to make visit to the
principal mining places, and tell of their re-
sources more particularly. Meantime, we hope
the miners will send US account of whatever good
fortune oveTtakes them.

SUNDAY LAw.-Two bills for the better obser
walton of the Sabbath, have been presented. The
Senate bill prohibits the keeping open
ware houses, places of exhibition and amuse-
ment, bull pens and race courses, on Sunday al
so prohibits the sale of liquors in public houses
to any but strangers, travellers or dodgers in the
house. Persons conscientiously believing that
the seventh day is the Sabbath. are not liable to
penalties for doing secular business, provided,
they do not disturb other persons. Neither bill
