This conduct of the Superintendent in thus
tyranizing over and insulting his Republican
subordinatcs, can only be explained OH the
hypothesis that he belongs to the .Adrcytiser's
school of Democracy, and that he is now
using the power and patronage. conferred
upon him under n misapprehension Of his
true character, for their benefit and the dis.
truction of the Republican organization of the
Territory, and the ultimate overthrow Of the
Administration. If he is permitted to contin-
Tie thus to act, it will be against the unan-
imous protestations of all who sincerely desire
the success of the present Administration.
The CAplTAL-The Supreme Court, on
Monday last, rendered their decision on the
"Capital Question Each member of the
court delivered verbal opinion, with the
understanding, we believe, that writ
ten decisions will be rendered hereafter The
court was divided upon the main point in the
case, viz: The defective character of the law,
in being without an cnacting clause. Judge
Wyche dissenting. The case had been very
ably argued on both sides. The Chief JUS
tice and Judge Oliphant seemed to be entire
ly satisfied that law must have expressed in
its body somewhere, tie pomev that enacted
it, to make it valid law. Judge Wyche de-
livered very ingenious opinion, He said
that he had very serious doubts upon that
point; that the great weight of authority
seemed to require an enacting clause; but if
it would be competent for the court to go to
the journals to show that law had found its
way among the published laws by fraud, or
accident, which had never been passed upon
by the Legislature, then it followed that the
court might 60 to the journals to determine
the intention of the Legislature, when it had
omitted to express that intention in the law
itself, and, that therefore he was of the opin-
ion that the said law was valid one, not
Notwithstanding its defective character. All
who listened to the reasoning of the Judge,
if not satisfied Of its correctness, must have
been satisfied of his honesty and sincerity.
We trust the decision of the court will give
satisfaction.
