RIGHT OF SEcEssIoN-FAcTs AND FIGUREs.-
The New York Tribune, which is a believer in
the abstract right of secession, but opposed to
the policy, and yet regards the event as set
tied fact, soon to transpire the part of the
Cotton States, thus reasons on the after dis
tribution of the Federal "plunder," the COM
mon property of all the States:
If the Cotton States unitedly and earnestly with
draw peacefully from the Union think they should
and would be allowed to do Any attempt to compel
them by force to remain would be contrary the pri-
cples enunciated in the immortal Declaration of indie
pendence contrary TO the fundamental ideas which
human liberty is based We trust therefore, that if the
Cotton States should secede they will quietly and nof
fensyey announce their determination to do asking
Congress to call Convention to arrange the of
separation They must be that this is work of
difficulty, that time is required to effect it. and that Mr.
Buchanan, Mr. Lincoln, whoever may be President.
will be constrained by his Inauguration oath to collect
the revenue and enforce the laws throughout the entire
area OF our country until such separation shall have
been duly effected. But if they really desire go out
we shall do what to persuade the North accede
to their wishes We cannot tell what the embryo Cot
ton Conederacy will attempt to claim. As however we
paid hard cash for louisiana 900 600 for
Florida S10000000 to Texasn ALL $50 100000 for ter
ritory that they propose TO carry off, do not
leve they will get much who stand will probably
have to pay the entire debt of the present Union now
S60000000 So that claim administer on the
effects is pretty strong one.'

A SOUTH CAROLINA CONSTITUTIONAL CUES
TIoN. The Charleston Courier maintains that
Congress cannot legally organize if the whole
delegation from any one Stst te is absent. Here
is its reasoning:
Note carefully the provisions Of the Consti-
tuition. Section |. provides that all legislative
power shall be vested in Congress of the
United States, which shall consist of Senate
and House of Representatives.
Section II. declares that the House of Rep
resentatives shall be composed of members
from the several States. while Section III. de-
clares that the Senate of the United States
shall be composed of two Senators from each
State.
If, then, State is absent; if the two Sena-
tors do not exist; if the representatives of the
people have resigned their power and Office,
Congress cannot organize. The parties legally,
constitutionally necessary to construct Con-
gress of the United States are not present. If,
therefore, South Carolina, having no Senators,
and Congress being convoked, none were ap-
pointed by the proper authority, the remainder
of the States could not legally organize, or
proceed to any business for the country. Such
an Assembly would not be Congress of the
United States under the requirements of the
Constitution.

MExIco.- The latest news from Mexico in
dicates that the revolution is about at an end.
The Liberals have triumphed, and the Consti-
tutionalists, or Church party, at the head of
which is Miramon, is completely demoralized.
They received their death blow, about the last
of October, at Guadalajara, which town was
taken by the Liberals. The city of Mexico is
still in possession of Miramon and the Church
party; but as the Liberals have now an army
of 80. 900 men, with only about 6,00O against
them, the chances are that Mexico will soon
yield to them. The foreign Ministers, antici-
pating fight at the capital have all removed
their quarters to Jalapa. When the city is
taken the Jaurez government may be consid-
cred permanently established

| The COMING ACTS OF THE ITALIAN DRAMA
The Paris correspondent of the San Francisco
Bulletin writes the following paragraphs
Italy may now be considered almost q
unit. The only questions that remain to be
| solved are those relating to the temporal pow
er of the Pope and to Venita. These must
bide their time but in the end, will form, |
think, an integral portion of the Italian mon
archy. Another war may be necessary against
Austria, before she will yield up Venitia /;
but even though this dire event comes to
pass-of which there is fair prospect-it
will only hasten the Unfcation'
g | need only add that two events are near
at hand one, the last battle to be fought un-
der the walls of Gaeta; the other, decara-
ton of war against Piedmont, by Austria,
either openly, or under cover of the Duke of
Tuscany, or Modena. This latter event may
be delayed until spring, but it will come !;
and then where will Napoleon be found :?
Simply on the Italian side. He cannot-he
dare not-braye the odium of France and the
people of Europe by aiding despotism to again
put its chains upon freed nation. Russia
Austria, and Spain, may oppose right by force,
if they choose but France will oppose force
by right, and win the battle May Italy be
renovated, freed, and made happy And
may she learn to fully appreciate the work
done for her by that wonderful man, Carl
baldi
F" The telegraph this morning Nov. 9th
announces that King Victor Emanuel entered
Naples on the 7th amid the most enthusiastic
acclamations. He Immediately issued de-
cree declaring the annexation of the Two Sic
lilies to the Kingdom of Italy. The vote for
this annexation was 1910, ,266, and against it
l0,0l2. There is rumor that Francis ii.
desires to capitulate, and of course leave Italy
for some more genial climate. The voting
for annexation at Perugia and Ancona has
resulted in gigantic yes, the noes are no.
where. The same unanimous age has been
returned from various other towns in the
Marches and Umbria; and even in the Prov
ince of Viterbo, although occupied by the
French, the vote is all for annexation. AT
this rate, the Pope will soon have no terrific
ry left over which to exercise his temporal
power. The work goes brayely on"

District Court, San Francisco, has retired from

preme Court, we could pray for no better sue
cessor than Judge Norton

HARDY's DEeIsIoN.-We learn that judge
Hardy, recently decided in the Amador Dis
trict Court that the revenue law of 1858 is un-
constitutional. We have not yet seen his de-
cision IN ertenso; but we learn that the argu-
ment advanced was about this: that the title
to the mineral lands is in the General Gov
ernment; that it is a we'll known rule of law
that the Improvements on the soil belong to
the real estate, and in the absence of an ex-
press special contract, are the property of the
party who owns the fee simple. This being the
case,-that the Improvements on the mineral
lands of California, are the property of the
United States, and cannot be sold for State
taxes. Win not some friend send us copy
of the decision?

TEACHERS SALARIEs.-One of our Councilmen, on Mon
day night, expressed the opinion that 500 per month
was very high salary TO pay lady teacher In eastern
cities, the services of superior lady teacher be OBJ
tanned Tor s25 per month"; or less Laboring men consd
er themselves well paid in this city, if they get S75
per month, without bcard.-Sockton Republican.
"One of our Councilmen" who expressed
hat..opinion, takes a very illiberal view of
the subject of education. Even in the State
of Massachusetts,, where day labor commands
but from So to $40 per month, good teachers
receive from $500 to $500 per year and
they earn their salaries, too. "Cheap y
schoolmasters, like the purchases at g Cheap
John" establishment are generally worthless,
and in the end the dearest article in their
line. Every community contains number
of individuals who consider themselves COM
petent to teach school, because they can read,
write legibly, cast up accounts and interpret
few commonplace sentences in the classics.
rant and convince them of their great accom-
plishments; but when they take charge of a
school it is generally found that only about
one in a hundred are fit for the position of
teacher. The fact is, teaching is a far higher
art than most patrons of schools imagine !;
and to teach well requires an education as a
teacher, great labor in school, great forbear-
ance, knowledge of human nature, correct
bah; IL e
nevoence. These qualities and accomplish
ments are rarely united in any one person ;
hence good school teachers are scarce-we
think quite as scarce as irst-class lawyers or
doctors. The school master is the person to
whose care the destinies of the next genera
ton are committed. He is therefore the most
important individual in society, and as such,
should be not only respected by all good citi-
zens, but we'll paid for his labor. Show us a
town or neighborhood given to the practice
of pinching It's teachers salaries, and we will
show you community that in the next gen
Grafton shall be in the rear of its neghbors
in enterprise and intelligence. Those who
think S75 per month too much to pay vir-
tuous, educated woman for her moral and
mental instructions to their children, do not
think it unreasonable that she should be
obliged to pay one-half of this salary for her
board and lodging, or that she should be re-
strained by public opinion from all gddy
pleasures of society which they accord to
those of her age. We trust that the views of
"one of our councilmen," if adopted at all,
may at least be confined to the munich
pality over which he rules. Cheap teach
ers are humbug.

ExcuLPAroRy.-W We clip the following letter
from the Bulletin, of last Monday, dated ''San
Andreas. December 18th

AnureaS, december loLn.
EDITOR Bulletin = Your paper of the 18th instant
contained an item extracted from the Nlariposa NeaUs
charging B. K Thorn, the under-sheriff of Caaveras
county, with acting too rashly because he shot crim-
nal who was trying to escape after arrest Without de-
failing the circumstances and dating upon the notori-
ousy desperate character of the felon appeal your
known impatiaty and love of Justice, to inform the
public-who cognizant Of the affair through your
columns-that not only do all persons acquainted with
the facts of this particular case well the Marposa
Neacs ITSELF clear efficient undersher of all blame
for acting without deliberaon but they and all others
who know Mr.. Thorn WELL are convinced that he is a
man and officer of such discretion, crcumspecton and
tried courage, would dsdain to the full power
placed by the law into his hands, in of ex-
treme emergency z.
We will only add to this truthful statement
that the man shot by Mr. Thorn, in the dis
charge of his duty as an officer, was noted
highway man, who last spring shot with in
tent to murder and rob, two citizens of this
county, at Indian Ladder Bridge, on the Mo-
kelumne. He was arrested shortly afterward
near San Andreas, but successfully played the
same ruse on the officer which he tried with
Thorn, and made his escape. He was ferret
ted out in his hiding place, through the skill
and industry of the under-s sheriff, and at the
IiiHS VI Hio oiACSt, Ist uicW an IA uLu Woo
advancing menacingly, when pistol leveled
at his head brought him to stand. Then,
throwing down the AK he broke and run, at
the same instant drawing large cheese-knife
from its scabbard at his side. He was told to
stop and surrender, but this only increasing
his speed, shot was fred, missing him.
Having reached point within few steps of
dense wilderness of chapparel, another shot
was fred which brought him to a surrender,
when he fell and threw away his knife. We
do not think either the public interest or hu-
manity requires any greater forbearance with
a villain like this, who was armed and in an
attitude of dangerous resistance from first to
last. Had the officer shot him dead the mo-
ment he raised the ak, it would have been a
juStifable homicide; had he been less prompt
the robber would have escaped had he rid
den up to him without shooting him, Thorn
would have been knitted, the Marposa Neacs
would have gained a better sensation article,
and the State would have lost an admirable
citizen and one of her most efficient officers
