True TO THE LErTER.--It is an admitted
fact that the Constitution, and laws
passed in pursuance thereof" are 1.-the
supreme law Of the land" Whence, then,
comes the right to violate this supreme
law? Where, asks Il contemporary, is to
be found the authority Tor one single act,
we care not how insignificant in itself,
which is not warranted by this supreme
law? Where is the evidence of a man IS
loyalty to the Government" who is
openly and avowedly disloyal TO this "su.
preme law? But for this "supreme
law" Abraham Lincoln would be simple
citizen OF Illinois. without the right UT
power to do anything more than any 9th
er citizen. And yet there are men who
profess to be learned in the law, and adj
mire Republican institutions, who would
not hesitate to strike down this supreme
law" and adopt in its stead the tyrant's
justification, that might makes right"
Officers who have sworn to support the
Constitution are guilty OF perjury when
they execute an illegal mandate, no mat
ter by whom issued. Sumo 0: them seem
to be ignorant Of this important fact,
which they may have cause to remember
before long.

TIE SPEAKERsuIP. Several members
Of the Legislature have already been
named for this position. According to
newspaper reports, Tuolumne asks it for
Matchin, Butte for Smith, and Sacramento
for Warwick. Matchin is a trimmer,
Smith Republican with secession ante
- - ; p ;,;.',iiies, and Warwick az
unadulterated Aboitonist of the rabid
scho'l and neither of them qualified, by
education, experience or capacity, for the
position. Probably they are the best Of
sorry set, from whom little is expected.
Some Of the members nc. .hTrwd, in.
triguing and mercenary, and they will
select for Speaker a weak, vain, pliable
tool, in order to use him for their indi.
vidual benefit. They will be particularly
careful to not elect man Of ability, dig
nifty, trmness or judgment; and such be-
ing the fact, we think Warwick has the
inside track. We do not say this TO NOR
tify his competitors, but simply to direct
attention to Warwicks superior qua!ifca
tons in this respect However, a more
iacile instrument even than Warwick If
that be pos>ibe-may be trottrd out be-
fore the corvening Of the Legislature
If SO, we Shall take pleasure in noticing
his appearance.

Par OF DEPUTY TAX CoLLEcroRs.-On Tues.

following order: "Ordered that the bill Of J.

~, presented to the Board for services of dep.
Oty property tax collectors, be and it is hereby
rejected. Also, that all bills or accounts pre-.
scented by said J. N. Reynolds, tax collector,
for similar services Of protested deputies, since
the passage of an order by this Board, on the
I'd day Of June A. D. 1869, directing the county
Sax collector, either in person or by deputy,
not 70 accompany the assessor for the purpose
Of collecting the personal property tax, be and
Shey are hereby rejected and it is SO ordered
1t was understood at the time, BY outsiders,
that the order Of June I'd was made with the
view Of "cOercing" the collector in the appoint
ment Of his deputies, but he bad the backbone
choice Of deputies. We presume the above
formal rejection Of the collectors claim was
made with u view Of putting it in proper con.
ditioa Tor the commencement of suit by him
70 enforce the payment.
TOWNSHIP LIxE.-The Board Of Supervisors
have ordered the County Surveyor to run and

IT is proud reflection for Democrats
that the Democratic party has been labor.
ing for years to prevent and arrest the
evils with which the country is now so
fearfully struggling. All good men know
and appreciate this fact. The overthrow
Of the Democratic party was the signal
for disruption, for on its ruins was erected
sectional faction. A return Of the
Democratic party to power through the
Northern States-the Western States are
certain to 60 Democratic-would be the
greatest step toward peace and prosperity.
The party that labOred so faithfully to
prevent the evil is best calculated to con-
duct the country through the evil. A
brilliant line Of Democratic triumphs
commencing with the election of Seymour
as Governor Of New York, would be of
incalculable value at the present time
They would assauge sectional luminosity
and pave the way to a permanent and
happy reunion, and they would show loyal
Southern men that their privileges and
rights would be respected and protected
in the Union. by party free from bigOtry
and fanaticiSm.

"MoNARcBTcAL GOVERNMENT. THE old
Union is not to be restored. The Abo-
litionists, who control the Administration,
are opposed to its reconstruction. They
desire and insist upon a strong Govern
ment, Republican in form only. John w.
Forney is an exponent of their views, and
he writes as follows, from Washington,
to his paper
"Another principle must certainly be
embodied in our recognized form Of Gov
eminent The men who shape the legis.
lation Of this country, WhSn the OGr is
past, must remember that what we want
is power and strength. The problem will

WHAr We TBINK OF r.-Since the an
nouncement Of the arrest Of Col. E. j. @.
Kewen, by the military, on . charge Of
" treason" we have more than once been
asked What we thought Of it." For the
benefit of all who may care to know what
we think Of it, we will briefly say that il
there was just cause for the arrest Of Col.
Kewen, he should be brought to a speedy
trial, before a Court of competent juris-
diction, in the face Of the whole country,
and if convicted Of "treason," or any 9th.
or crime against the Constitution and
laws, punished to the extent Of the law,
and no more, not even to crafty Adolf
ton malice. We do not believe, howev-
er, that Col Kewen has been guilty of
any crime, but that he owes his arrest to
the false testimony of some soullcss spy
and informer, such as now skulk assassin
like, in every community in this State, and
who, at no distant day will receive the
just punishment Of their baSeneSS.
