Gov. DowSEy, we are sorry 10 see, has
utterly destroyed the hopes Of his friends.
In his career as Governor he has received
as he deserved nothing but praise. He has
made faithful and conscientious Execu-
tive, and he pade fair to be n favorite of the
people for more honors. But in an evil
hour he has seen fit to write most miser-
able, uamby -pamby letter in which weak
ness and puSilanimiiy are predominant
How any man of the good sense which
Gov. Downey is rcputed to have could
write such a letter at such a time is beyond
the comprehension of his friends. 1t is
contemplate to call the efforts of the Gov
ern.nent to protect itself war of aggres-
sion, and vet Gov. DJwney's letter implies
IS much. lie is for the Union in one breath
Tic asserts the right of the Government to
protect itself in another. But in Il third
breath he il against coercion, or as he
pleascs to term it, a war of aggression.
The Governor has placed himself in such n
position tadl lie Citu plNe no Shtil"Cto'N "a
planation. Even the excuse that he is LA
BILE like his race to Irish bulls, and that he
has committed one of these in his late let
ter to the Union meeting in San Francisco,
will not do. His position is that OF other
Governors in secession States His lHn-
guage implies that if called On for means
to sustain the Government against treason.
he would refuse. like MagolEin. of Kentucky,
Leicher. of Virginia. and Jrckson, OF Mis-
souri,. Call such a Governora Union man!
1t is sacrlege upon the term. 1t IS an
abuse of the English language, SANDER

to defend the capital of their country.

MORE STEALING.

The Legislature has made discovery
a wonderful discovery. With marvellous
sharpness it has been found out that tho
chief clerk of the Assembly has been steal
ing-actually stealing. 1t appears on in
yestigntion that James NJ Anderson the
chief clerk, has received several thousand
dollars for copying for the Assembly moro
than he was entitled to by law. The Sec
retarv of State, Johnson Price, certified
that the thing was all correct, and Ander-
son has received considerable cash that Gid
not belong to him. possibly enough to last
him through the summer if the tiger is not
too severe on him. For wonder, there Is
a disposition to censure the chief clerk for
his want of conscience and honesty OH this
occasion. The natural bent of the old fel-
lows mind was made known as long ago
rs 1855, and every member of the present
Legislature before voting for him. ought to
have been aware of the danger of leaving
n one. living around loose where he
could get it. In the Legislature of the
wear before mentioned, Anderson, as chief
clerk of the Assembly. was allowed by n
resolution number of copying clerks TO
assist him. The resolution did not name
the number. Il was sorry omission for
such man to take advantage of. Before
the session closed it leaked out that n lot
of bummcrs were fed as clerks at the ex-
pense of the State. An investigation was
had and it was discovered that Anderson
had appointed sixteen assistants at a salary
of twelve dollars q day each, His own per
diem was much greater. Still not satisfied
with it, he procured during the last hours
OF the session the passage of n resolution
giving him twelve hundred dollars IN ore
which was designed to pay his board bill
at the Orleans. In the face of such shame
lessness Anderson presented himself before
the next Legislature as candidate for
Chief Clerk, and WAS reelected by one ma
jority. Since that time he has been elect
ed several times to the same position.
The wonder seems to be great that in the
wear of grace ore thousand eight hundred
and sixty-onc, J. VI. Anderson Clerk of the
Assembly, was fonnd sinousing the State
out of thousands of dollars. In any other
civilized couHtry the wonder would be how
n man guilty of the frauds upon the State
six years ago, he is guilty Of, could be re-
elected over and over again to repeat thc
frauds TO his hearts con ent. There i:
st" another wonder will the Legislatures

Gnribaldi took his seat III the Italian
Parliament and business was temporarily
suspended by the applause. The action OF
the Ministry disbanding the southern army,
and the measures taken for re-organizing
were debated. Gafibald made a speech
that excited tumult in the Chamber He
made offensive aIlusion to the Ministry,
against which Cavour protested. Garibal-

ton. Cavour said he accepted the words
of CONSULTATION. tsaribaldi designated the

gu. >, UNITY UNION PARTY.

About two hundred persons assembled
at the Theatre, on Wednesday evening, at
tracted thther by the advertisement of
Oliver NJ. Tomlinson. Esq, that he would
hold forth on the need of n "Great United
States Unit Party" The venerable patriot
and gentleman considering the degeneracy
of the times did not deem 1t safe to .:intrust
the babyhood of the party of which he was
the founder, to any set OF men as President
and officers of his meeting. He began the
imposing ceremonies of tho evening by
lighting candle and placing it on the ta-
BILE before him, saying; "I appoint you
President of this meeting" In Ike man.
ner he furnished Vice Presidents ard Sec
retaries, which formalities having been
gone through the old gentleman made his
obeisance to " Mr.. President CANDLE and
drawing forth document prepared for the
occasion. consumed three quarters of an
hour in reading it. The cheering was wild
and terrific at times, exceeding that ever
witnessed at theatrical exhibitions. The
sentiments and language were similar to
the dissolving views and fourth of July
speech of the gentleman already given to
the world and the Washoe country free of
expense. Mr.. Tomlinson made a ten strike
on Tuesday night if we are to judge by the
noisy applause produced by the utterance
of his patriotic sentiments. 1t was but
one step from the sublime.
At the conclusion of the orators ha-
rangue, Jim Pettinger, the oracular genius
Of North San Juan, who has been stop
ping at the county seat for few days, on
legal business connected with the tase-
ment of the Court House. was called on
and appeared on tie standi but on his
showing symptoms of taking off his coat,
it was feared that his eloquence might
be too powerful and produce an insanity Of
enthusiasm dangerous to the perpetuity Of
the scenery in the Theatre, and he was ac-
cordingly hustled of. Pe:tinger, however,
spent the evening tolerably comfortable, by
declaring from. an elevation on the side
walk in front OF the Theatre that Judge
Stidger had "got the bulge on him lately
and sent him to Jail as a common drunkard.
Pettinger expressed his conviction that
several days occur in the course of the year
when he is perfectly sober, and lamented
his misfortune in not hninp DerfectIy uDder-
stood by the world. He found considera-
bic consolation in examining the heads of
individuals for chronological developments
and actually dis covered a large bump of
secession in an active state on the ca6eza
of a rampant descipie of jeff Davis; where
upon Pettinger pridcd himself considera-
bly, on his extraordinary proficiency in the
doctrines of Gall and Spurzeheim.
