The Duncombe Case.

Mr.. Eaitor:-The case of Charles Dun
combe still occupies large share OF public
attention. A protes: was made or attempt
ed to be made, and loud complaints raised
against the decision in this case made by the
majority of our Legislature. The question
is deeper one than is generally imagined,
and requiring more than superficial investi-
CATION to understand its merits. Having
paid some attention to this case, | desire to
offer suggestions. that present themselves to
me as being applicable
The question as determined by the Legis-
latule is not a legal one, but political one
strictly A great mistake has been made
by many, by overlooking this Distinction
| The Sacramento Union assailed Democratic
member of the Assembly with malignity--
because he uttered the sentiment that there
was difference between determining ques-
ton politically and legally, and undertook
to throw odium upon the dominant party
for acting upon this principle. The Union
has utterly ignored this distinction; but when
this nice point is considered calmly, it will
be found that this distinction always has and
still does exist.
The Courts of law in the United States
have decided that "a citizen of the United
States, by becoming citizen OF another
country, does not cease to be citizen OF the
United States, nor is he absolved from his
original allegiance" The Courts derived
this rule from the Common Law, which we
inherited from England, and which is the
rule Of decision in all our courts OF law,
when not repugnant to some actual provl-
sion of the Constitution or Statute Law OF
the United States Our Courts made this
decision wholly and solely on the authority
of the English decisions.
But the whole policy of our Government
since the question was first raised in all
political controversies, has been diametrically
opposed to the decisions of her Courts; and
different doctrine has been strenuously
maintained, demonstrating that there is a
difference between deciding questions pohh-
cally and legally. The United States in
1912, denied the doctrine "oncc subject
always subject" and asserted a contrary
principle with the snews Of war. Daniel
Webster, acting on behalf Of the United
States, denied the doctrine in 1871, and if
at that time formal vote had been taken
on the question by both Houses of Congress,
and by each Legislature in all the States Of
the Union, the decision Of oar own Legsla
ture wolld have been unauimously sustaned;
thus making the rule universal that there
is difference between deciding a question
politically and ltgally, as much so as there
is between the tcchnicaliies of Municipal
Law and the broad principles Of the Law Of
Nations; or as there is between a Court of
Law and National Government.

Senator Anderson's Speech.

Pending The motion for reconsideration
Of the vote, by which the resolutions of
censure upon Broderick passed, in the Sen
ate on Wednesday, Mr.. Anderson made a
speech that for terseness, bold satire, and
just denunciation upon the political course
of David G. Broderick, in California, and
his former subservent follower John Bisler
has never been equalled in the Legislative
halls of the State. 1t was faithful exposi
ton of the corruptions of the former poiti
cal regime that luled to ruin. We will
publish a correct report of the speech in oul
next issue. Our readers will not fail tc
read and mark its contents well!

Condemnation Of the Sacramento Union
In another column will be found the pro-
ceedings of meeting of the Democratic
members of the Assembly, in which they
show up the Sacramento Union, in its true

worth and popularity at home, and represent
ing, probably, constituency of 100000
people-over their own signatures, declare
that tbs legislative reports of the Union
in reference to the words and acts Of Demo
cratic members, are "unreliable onesided
unjust, and unfair" Was ever rebuke more
severe than this9 Where, in the whole his

The Union stands alone in having well earn

made upon this sheet of false pretences; and

Report on the State Prison.

The Directors of the State Prison have
made a report upon the management of the
institution that will do the people good to
read. We shall publish it next week, when
our readers will sec that this famous bugbear
has lost its terrors, and ceased to be a swim
die upon the State. The Democratic party
promised to reform the iniquitous manage
ment of the Prision, and our officers have
been faithful in the performance. The cur
rent expenses of the Prison have been
brought under $4,000 monthly; contrasting
this with previous management, when the
expenses have reached $4,000 and upward
per month, the party have full and sufficient
cause for congratulation in Democratic man
agement.

To the Readers of the Sacramento Union.

At meeting of the democratic members
of the Assembly of the Legislature OF the
State of California, held in the Assembly
Hall, on the evening of the 25th day of
January, 1859, the following preamble and
resolution were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS. We have heretofore witnessed,
in the reports Of the debates OF the Leglsla-
ture, published in the Sacramento Onaom,
an evident determination, on all important
questions to place the Democratic members
Of the House in as unfavorable light before
the public, as slight resemblance to the
truth will allow; its course being to publish
few lines of what it chooses to call the
substance of the remarks OF Democratic
members, while giving, at the same time,
we'll dressed up, the speeches of' opposition
members, so as to make it appear to the ca
sua reader, that the Democracy are ready to
support every odious and improper measure
which may be proposed for their consldera-
ton, and that they 90 for party right or
wrong, sacrificing duty and principle to that
end: and whereas the said Union, while it
claims to be Independent in its political char
acter, and is constantly holding out that it
metes Justice and fairness to all parties
through its columns, yet, under these guises
and garbs, it insidiously attacks and villities
the Democracy of this State, and seeks to
bring into disrepute their Representatives;
therefore,
Resozved, That, for the purpose of placing
the readers of the Sacramento Union on
their guard, relative to what reliance can be
placed upon its reports and statements of
the words and acts of Democratic men,
bers of the Legislature, we declare that,
as fair exponent of the debates and
conduct of members on the floor of the
Assembly, their reports are unreliable, one
sided unj just and unfair, and we, in conse-
quence, publish the above preamble and this
resolution, with desire that the Morning
Star publish the same, and that all the Dem

Shooting ARRAY.

One Kirkpatrick took it into his head to
shoot another hombre at Carroton, on We'd
nesday, and with but little ceremony pulled
trigger. His aim was good, but the shootee
being good dodger 'ducked" in time to
escape the ball, and had an inch or two
margin to spare. Not considering such con
duct according to law, the abused individual
went before Justice Greeley, of Dotan's Bar
and 'drew it mild" by entering complaint
of an assault and battery. A warrant was
issued and placed in the hands of Constable
Manuel, who was not long in finding Kirk
patrick, but he, probably having no desire
to be restrained of his liberty in a free coun-
try, presented pistol at the breast of the
Constable, and in return was knocked in the
head with a club, and shortly thereafter
found himself before Court, from whence
Justice Greeley sent him to the county SEM
mary at Auburn for thirty days. SIC transit

SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT THE DARDANELLEs
TuNNEL.-An accident, resulting in the Sc
rious injury of two men, occurred at the
noted Dardaneles Tunnel, near Todd's Valley
on Wednesday night last. The men, Messrs.
Barnes and Benedict, were engaged in blast
ing, and having set fire to the safety fuse re-
tired to a safe point; but the explosion not
taking place as soon as anticipated, they
supposed the match had gone out, and re-
turned, reaching it just as the blast went off.
The pieces of rock from it entirely destroy
ing the ball of one of Mr. Barnes eyes, and
it is thought the sight of the other is gone.
The left hand of Mr.. Benedict was taken off
and his face severely injured. The unfortu-
nate men have the sympathy of numerous
friends, in their severe atflction.
This is the first accident of serious ma
ture that has ever happened at the Dardan-
eIes, although it has been worked for a
number Of years, by large force Of men.

of interest The Pacific Railroad bill was
still pending in the Senate. A report had

had intimated to our Government that the
United States should not acquire Cuba even
with the consent of Spain. This led to the

of Cuba The Senators have moved into
