LEGISLATIVE INTERFERANCE.-Th Court in San
Francisco having jurisdiction in the case Of Hor
ace Smith, indicted for the murder of Newell, re-
fusing to grant change of venue, the friends of
Smith applied to the Legislature to pass an act
snperseding the action of the Court, and remov-
ing the trial to Placer county. That wise, all
powerful body did pass such an Act, and Gov
Downey, exercising his usual Independent sense
of right and propriety. vetoed the bill. The
Legislature determined, in the face Of doubtful
constitutional power to interfere with the judg-
ment Of courts, of the dangerous precedent it
was establishing, and also of the Governors We
to- that it should become law, and that Horace
Smith should be tried in his own county. OF
Smiths innocence or guilt %e have no comments
10 make-we leave that for the Courts TO decide,
but we think the Legislature is exceeding its
constitutional powers when it directly interferes
and sets aside the Judgment of a Court. Mr..
Walter, our Assemblyman, voted against the bill.

President LincoIn's Inaugural.

In another column will be found synopsis Of
President Lncoln's inaugural address. Since it
was put in type, We have received the message in
the Marysvile Appeal of March 18th, in full, but
too late for this weeks paper. Next week we
will publish it entire. Probably no message or
address from President of the United States
has ever been looked for with such nervous anxi-
ETY. and earnest interest by the American people.
Six of the States of the Union are formally out
of the Union, SO far as their own acts can place
them-have formed separate Government,
adopted constitution, elected President, and
declared their independence to the world in
other words, are in state of successful revolu-
tion, and declare their intention of so remaining
All this has been done in the time elapsng be-
tween the election of Mr.. Lincoln and the assum
ing of his official duties as President Of the United
States. All the people of the Union, of both
sections, felt that the policy to be announced and
followed by Lincoln would solve the questions
whether we were to have settlement of our ma
tional difficulties, peaceabe dissolution of the
Federal Union, or civil war. The inaugural has
been read, by this time in every corner of the
Union, and the views and intentions of the Pres
ident known. We have read the address with
deep interest and care, and, though we have no
particular sympathy with the party or its princi-
pies, we confess that this document, in our opin-
ion, does credit 10 the President and reflects The
views of the Union-loving masses of Americans
much more nearly than the sentiments of the
party who elected him. Whilst the address is
concilatory in tone, it is firm. Lincoln evidently
desires the preservation of the Union by peace
able compromise of the people, but is determined
10 execute his oath of Office. We fail TO see in
his message any panderng to Republican preju-
diccs-it is an address to the American people by
"a President of the United States.

THE WEATHER AND THE BLOssoMs.-Morc de-
lghtful weather than we have had since the
opening of March is not enjoyed in any country.
The days were pleasant as in June, and although
the ground has been covered with light frost
nearly every morning for the last three weeks, it
was not severe enough to njure vegetation.
Peach, apricot, plum, nectarinc and pear trees
are in full bloom now, and on the river, from
Oregon Gulch to Taylor's Flat, they blossomed
two weeks ago. 1t is very moderate estimate
to say, that if the late frosts do not injure the
blossoms, there viii! be ten thousand bearing
fruit trees in Trinity county this season. Gene

NEARLY FIRE.-About o'clock on Wednes-
day morning the China house next above the
Main and Center street alley was discovered to
be on fire, by Watchman Ward. The celestial
residents in the neighborhood raised terrible
alarm, but never for moment attempted to
check it. Mr. Ward was first on the spot, and by
tearing down the lining, and removing bed
which was on fire, succeeded in staying the flames,
in which he burned his hands severely. 1t was
house of prostitution. and the suppostion is that
a dress hanging near the bed had taken fire from
a lighted candle.
1t is sometimes argued that the Chinese use as
great care to guard against fire as other citizens.
The assertion is very absurd one, and one We
are not ready to believe. A majority of the Chi
nese residents on the main street of our town are
either prostitute females or their masters Gen
orally, scanty wardrobe is all they possess; and
in time of fire they gather it up and run to a Sc
cure place. They care not much whether the
house burns or not. Property holders and citi-
zens generally, who are worthy the name feel an
interest in the welfare of the place. and use every
effort TO check confagrati0n. Not so with the
Chinese, in single instance, that we know Of.
We insist that they are nuisance which ought
not to be tolerated in the very heart of town.
Several times within year past the town has
barely escaped destruction, and in nearly every
instance through the vigilance and energy of
Watchman Ward. If the Chinese are to be
allowed to live in the very center of the place,
some measure should be adopted to prevent cti-
zens from suffering through their carelcssness.
To this end Mr.. Ward says he shall hereafter
require the residents of each China house on his
beat to keep extra pals, which at night shall be
constantly filed with water, for emergency. 1t
is timely precaution, and one for which he de-
