The WAR WAGES wARM,-The Bee replies
to j. 5. Graham's card, noticed the other day
in our paper, as fellows:
One James s. Graham, who has no visible
means Of support, and who is doubtless

seen him session after session hanging about

then, they may deny whatever thew nleose

The supreme Court Of California.

The conduct Of the supreme Court towards
the Supreme Court Reporter, has been most
extraordinary. In the first place, they under
took to legislate him ont of office, by having
Till passed, which it is asserted was gotten
up by one of the Supreme Judges, the effect
of which was to take the power of appointing
n Reporter from the hands of the Governor
and giving it to the Court. This measure
the Legislature promptly voted down, The
next motion was to refuse the Reporter the
privilege of handling the records in such a
manner as to enable him to make up his re
ports To couuteract this movement. the
Legislature proposed to enact law which
would require the records to be given into
the hands OF the Reporter, To overawe this
proposed Legislation the Supreme Court
/ threw out threat, in one of their published
opinions, that they would annul any act OF
the Kind by their power to pass upon thelaws
enac,ed by the Legislature In the aec OF
this uncalled for and monstrously impudent
menace, the Assembly has prs ed the Till, and
shoul it econe law, it remains to be seen
what this dictntoriil and selfsufiicient tribu
nal will do. Whatever may be the powers
oE the SUI rene Court, we look upon the
throwing out of threats ly that tribunal for
the purpose of iutmdating the legislative
: department. of the Government as mon
strous and high handed act, and very closely
bordering upon such conduct as would de-
mand an impeachment of the Judges.
The whole course of this Court in the mat
ter seems to us to have been dictated by the
merest factional and partisan motives-mo-
tives unworthy of such body. What is it
to them, if the Supreme Court Reporter be a
hvorie of the Governor who appoints him,
provided he discharge his duties faithfully,
honestly and iutelligently? Is that tribunal
to degrade itself by STOPPING to take part in
the mere wire-workings of party?
When the Supreme Court undertakes to
set itself up against the plain provisions of
the Constitution, and to dictate to the Legis-
lature what it shall do, and to assume this
dictatoR for the mere furtherance of partisan
or personal ends, it is time that the selfcon.
eet were taken o"t of it, by whatever pro-
cess it mey be accomplished The Constitu
tion of the State says that ''the Legislature
shall provide for the speedy publication of all
statute laws and of such judicial decisions as
it may deem expedient. and all laws and pub
lieatons shall be free for publication by any
person" The Court says:
"The power over our opinions and the records
of our Court we shall exercise at all times while
we have the honor to sit on the Bench: against
all encroachments from any source, but in a
manner we trust betting the highest tribunal in
the State"
1t makes no difference about the manner.
If a Supreme Judge undertakes, in any man
ner, to override the Constitution which he is
sworn to support, there is power to call
him to account 1t is the power of impeach-
ment, and it remains to be seen whether the
sovereign people of this State cannot elect
Legislature capable of asserting the spirit of
the Constitution, by the exercise of this pow

Police Court upon the complaint of Eloise
Espagne for assault and battery. Eloise
stated that Alexander had been somewhat of
an expensive friend, he living entirely upon
the funds which she provided for him, and
that not in the most reputable manner. She
had become somewhat disgusted with her
friend, and concluded to propose a separate
domicil, which he acceded to, requiring the
sum oftwenty dollars to seal the bargain.
Elois assented to the proposition, glad to get
rid of Alic at so cheap a rate. The money
was paid down, and he departed but when
ms funds gave out he returned again and de
