SALARY OF JUDGES OF PRoBATE.-
The law for making the Office of Judge
of Probate salaried Office takes effect
with the incoming year, 1861. The
Board of Supervisors by that law, are
authorized to fix the salary at not less
than FIVE cents, nor more than eight
cents per inhabitant of the county.
The effect of this law will be to relieve
estates of the burden of court fees, but
in lieu thereof every estate, before any
real or personal property is sold, must
pay one per cent. on the whole, as per
inventory appraisement, into the County
Treasury, provided that in no case the
amount of fees to be paid to the treas
urer shall exceed fifty dollars in the
settlement in any estate.

principles, Not Men,"

When principles are at stake, men
should not sway our actions. We should
look to the substance and not to the shad-
ow. Men may vacilate, change and pass
away, not so with a correct AMI noble
principle, its foundation solid, its walls
impregnable. Pile abuse, ridicule, and
a~pprobrium upon it high as a "Gilderoy
kite" and yet it is not extinct it will,
like a phoenix, from the ashes, rise again.
But are our politicians observing this
time honored motto? Have they scorned
the idea of man-worship, and carried out
their professions by their conduct? We
need not call the attention of the intelli-
gent reader to particulars. The expert
INC of the last few years is enough to
convince, even the ~incredulous, of the
reckless disregard of some men TO sacred
principles. That man who tries to crush
out the vitality of a principle upon which
he is made the triumphant c~onquorer,
should sneak away into some ~sulphurous,
distant cell of political hades to enjoy the
smiles of allkinds of covenant breakers"
A fine place for some-no names given
let us watch-the animal, no doubt, will
soon change the collar of its skin in lieu
of the rights of "Squatters'' we will have
something else as the magical principle
around which the people are called upon
to rally. The call may come from some
sections, yet u confidence can eve be
shaken in the rights of freemen. under
all circumstances to speak through the
ballot-box or elsewhere in all domestic
affairs. We care not for names or for
men. In this age we feel no scruples as
to party-names but shall be controlled by
higher motives, viz: principle
We fear we stand near the verge of
a political attempt to disown and discard
some of the soul-stiring principles belong
ing to American citizens. The "sign"
is, squirting toward an overthrow of a
certain party of a f~avorite and a great
national principle. Look our for rich de-
velopments.

DOUglas' Bottom.

The Herald is up this morning, looking
fresh, fair and creditable to It's publishers,
with a lengthy calculation as to Douglas
chances it says:
Some who think themselves posted, say
they knOlU what Douglas chances are for
the nomination y that by a process
of mathematical calculation, they make
him the Democratic Nominee for Pres.
dent.
Douglas, at Charleston, was brought
forward by his friends and his bottom
fairly tested.
The Herald seems to think that on
being "tested" it was thought not to be
good enough to fill the President ial chair
from which we beg leave to q ifer with
him. AS to the process of calcuIatiO used
in testing we would beg infor nation
and, until better informed, shall remain
of our present opinion, i. e., that it was
worked by vulgar fractions.

IntemperanCe.

From some cause or causes, this evil
seems to be on the decline in many sec
tons. We do not attribute this to any
single cause. 1t depends, we believe on
two or three. These are, the efforts Of
all friends of temperance, adulteratiOn
of liquor, and hard times. All three Of
these are agents of more or less power in
aiding the temperance movement.
The frst-the good flowing from this
cause none can estimate. We would
come far short of the reality in even Civ
ing scope to our imagination. Persons
Of all ages, calling and candition have
seen, and will testify to the benefit of the
temperance movement. Liquor suckers
are talked to, lectured. and constantly
persuaded to reform. This is done in our
newspapers generally, and form our pub
lie as well as private advocates of the
cause.
A~dulteration has caused some good.
and we hope will do a mighty work in
turning the inebriate from the coup
for man will, we know, give up a habit
which is fraught with distress to their
friends, relations and families; polluting
the stream of life's crimson fountain and
ending IN the sudden, and awful death OF
the "drunkard." Reader, there is poi
son in the soup" Then "tougch not

Hard times-the difficulty to get mo-

fact many an old topper would testify. Ii

indulge, have little trouble in finding a

be strong enough, and none of u Hsad-
ers can say, l doubt, in any particular,
their potency. Will he be the choice Of
the Convention at Baltimore, is the ques-
ton? We think his chances are good,
yet there may be a possibility Of defeat 4
An effort, without a parallel, will be made
to bring about this result. An immen
amount of wire-stretching uill be prac-
ticed by the enemies Of the principles Of
the Cincinnati Platform, and no string
will be left unpulled, we know, to disap-
point the wishes of the people.
AS remarked in the beginning. Steph-
en- A. Douglas is the choice Of the De-
mocracy, independent Of, and above all
other men in the Union. His strength
cannot be mistaken by friend or foe. 1t
is recorded no other man in the Demo
cratic ranks can so well succeed in the
impending contest. The apprehension is
general, and we think, based upon stub
born facts, with any other Tan the sue
cess of the Democratic party will be
doubtful in ahe extreme. We fear some
calling themselves "~ring-leaders," dicta-
tors, etc., etc., would rather behold the
ruin and defeat of the party than have
the nomination of the convention bestow-
ed on Senator Douglas. They hate him.
The news of his death would fill them
with great Joy. He is a "sore-eye" to
their diabolic designs and want him kill
ed off," But has it been done? Let
the citizens of the four great quarters Of
the land answer. They say he is alive,
and we must believe their testimony, "fre
eaters" and "dough-faces, - to the contra
ry Notwithstanding.
Stephen A. Douglas is not dead, MOI
"read out Of the party" but stands to-day
the choice of the people for President, be-
cause he Is not sectional, opposed to con-
gresS1OnaL Intervention, consistent, capable
and has the interest, the happiness, ana
the wsH being Of the country at heart. Il
placed before the country as the nomi.
nee of the contemplated Convention, the
seceders of the South will not be heard
of, at least very soon. Such person;
should be dealt with at the hands of the
party, as traitors to its best interests
May the voice Of indignation everywhere
rise in tones of thunder against them and
all others who are trying tOdivide US, and
to cause a disunion of our fellow-citizen:
and thus a separation of the North and
South. May Americans stand by the
side of Douglas and Union.

"Times are dull, but l think they will

has been great excitement in these lower
