The tribunal which decides questions of inter-
national law is usually stern one If the
North prevails, it will prove that the Union
was nationality. IF the South makes good
its independence, it will prove that the Union
was partnership during pleasure. This is
what is to be decided, and wc must await the
event. The TINES thinks that great move
ments will be postponed until fall.

Arkansas OPPosED TO SEcEssIOS.-From
the following, which We copy from late
number Of the Prairie Democrat, published
at Brownsville, Arkansas, it appears that
Arkansas il opposed TO secession; or at least
will act with the more conservative slave
States:
The press Of this State are generally opposed
10 secession, bat are, we believe, IN favor Of the
meeting Of a Southern convention, composed Of
delegates from all Of the Southern States, TO
take into consideration the best means Of safe
~ AZ the present time, which, we think, is well
ennugh. II one State should 20 out, We think
prudence would dictate for all the rest OF the
Southern States to follow. Whatever should
be done we think unity Of feeling and senti-
ment should prevail.
We do not think, however, that the people Of
the South are yet ready TO see the Union rent
in twain, and % more efectually get the opin-
ions Of the majority Of the Southern people, we
see nothing wrong in the assembling of South
ern convention.
II is rather a singular fact that the slave States
bordering on the free States should not be heard
TO murmur or utter the least complaints what
ever, while the extreme Southern States are
making all the noise. We cannot but think
that il is not pure and patriotic motives that
induce the leaders Of this scheme for the over
throw Of the government, TO advocate such ex-
treme measures, but rather a stepping stone 70

S. G. COMMISSIONER ~ WALL STREET.-A
Commissioner Of the Palmetto nation re-
Gently made bis appearance in Wall street,
to raise funds on the 100000 bonds au-
thorized by the Legislature. He frat called
on Belmont. banker Of well-known South
ern proclivities 4; but that gentleman, after
turning over the bonds carelessly, remarked
that he did not consider them worth the pa
per on which they we're written. At the
same time, he kindly informed the Palmetto
man that Duncan, Sherman 4 Co., were in
the same line of business and might proba-
bly, take his bonds. The Commissioner i'm
mediately hied to the Office Of those bank
ers A member Of the nrm received him
cordially, listened to bis tale, and politely
informed him that they we're disinclined to
do anything of the sort, but that probably
Belmont, who was great friend Of the
South, would accommodate him under the
circumstances. Nothing more was heard
Of the agent.

ExPUsGTSG REsoIrTIoxs.-In the Assem-
bly,, on Thursday, the resolutions introduced
BY Mr. O'BrieD, Of CaIaveras, expunging
the resolutions censuFiDg Senator Broderick
were discussed at length. Mesrrs. O'Brien,
COnness, Campbell and 1uDday, spoke in
favor Of expuDgiag, aud Laspeyre, Mont
gOmery aud sAmyx in opposition. A test
vote, to indefinitely postpone the resolu-
tions, was defeated--3j ayes, 40 nays-in-
dicating majority Of five in favor ofex-
pungirg. Il was eoniended that this Leg
isIature had 10 right to mutilate the re-
cords Of previous Legislature, but the res
olutions Of Mr. O'Brien, as we read them,
do not contemplate any thing Of the kind.
They merely recite the resolutions Of cen
sure and order them expuDged. The object
is to expunge the ceDsure, not to obhterate
any Of the records. The course pursued by
the U. s. Senate. 10 expunging the resoln-
tioDs censuring Jackson, was TO draw
black line around the resolutions, and note
on the margin that they were expunged at
such a date. Such course could not be
considered q mutiIatiOn Of the records.
LATER.-Tbe Marysyille Appeal Of this
morning, says that the expunging resoIH-
lntions have passed the Assembly By vote
Of IL to 80.

Too MANY REPUBI1Cs.-One OF the most
favorable symptoms we can dad in the news
from the East, il in the multiplicity Of Re-
publies proposed to be erected from the
fragments Of our glorious Confederation,
when the federal relations are entirely bro
ken up between the States. Such a
lot of petty republics would simply be RI
diculous; and the very instant the. people
see the folly Of the system, and really re-
feet on the ultimate results, they will re-
turn to the allegiance all owe to the Gov
ernment at Washington, and end within the
Union their only safeguard against domes-
tic violence aud foreign aggression.-lCsl-
averas Chronicle.

WANTS THE HOSPITAL ABoLIsHED.-The
Grand Jury Of Siskiyou county say: 1--WE
have investigated the County Hospital affairs,
and find that there are no patients there, but
what could be excluded by law, the present in
mates being taken there entirely through per-
sonal sympathy Of the Hospital Superintendent
and as it is almost impossible to convey pa
tents to the Hospital, from great many pre-
cincts in the county, and believing that the sick
will never be allowed to suffer, we recommend
the abolition Of the hospital altogether"
