PRAISE COP If, in these times of public ex-
citenent and vexation on account of the en-
barrassed state of our National affairs, there is
any one thing for which the people of California
and Oregon should be more thankful than all
others combined, it is that Gwin and Lane are
no longer members of the United States Senate!
"PALs1ED" AND "WITHERED.'-SouthC Caro-
lima some time ago said fight, but the elegant
Senator from Ell Dorado, who invoked the anath-
ema on his own ''tongue" and EARN" has not
yet gone to "strike' in her cause. Cowardice
being out of the question, can it be possible that
per dien, has any influence in repressipg the
enthusiasm of his cfivalrous ardor! The phys
icians are likely to have subject one of these
days for an exhibition of their skill, and the
ziteyutems onwhich to write a storyl
Gov, DowNEY.-The Placer Herald is dis
pleased with Gov. Downey, because he vetoed
the 'Change of Venue Bill" 1t says there is a
"power behind the throne, greater than the
throne ITSELF" and adds:
sThis power behind the throne which dictates
and shapes Executive action, and by praise and
fattery controls and seduces the Governor, is an
unscrupulous public press, headed by the Bull
1etin of San Francisco, with the Alta and Union
for its drill officers, and disreputable journals
constituting the rank and file. 1t is from this
source that Downey covets praise, which to him,
1T would seem, was higher consideration, than
the discharge OF plain duty, the approval of a
Just law, proper regard for the interest of the
real people"
When tthe Herald undertakes to abuse the
Governor for such an act, and speaks of an ssurs-
scrupulous" public press, we afraid it was
ignorant of the Arab proverb, which is used by
Dumas, in one of Bulwer's plays.
So long as Gov. Downey respects the intelli-
gent, impartial opinions uttered by the inde-
pendent press, he is not likely to 60 far wrong.
Thus far he has been a model Chief Executive,
and has completely won the admiration of the
masses, who look beyond party machinery to
discover the motives and effect of public acts.
If the press has contributed towards aiding him
in the proper discharge of his official duty, it has
done good thing, and he has shown wise dis
