following apt quotation. Mr.. VALLANEIeHAM
and the whole Democratic party may well

ATransferofPoWer:

Congress alone, by the Constitution, has in
certain specified cases the power to suspend the
writ of haJees corpus. The Abolition majority
in the last Congress passed law authorizing
Abraham Lincoln to suspend it. They might
just as legally have autlic rized Wendell Phil
lips or Horace Greeley to suspend it, for the
duties of Congress can not be transferred to or
discharged by any other body or tribunal. IF
Congress can authorize Lincoln to suspend the
ho6.as corpus, it can authorize him to pass tho
Appropriation Bills or any other act OF leg
islation that Congress- alone can do.-- Cincta-

STREETS PAVED WITH sILvER.-The vir-

streets of that place aae paved with silver for
it is literal fact that they are. Thousands
OF tons of rock, which in other countries would
pay well to extract the silver from are used to
level and macadamize the streets. Rock that
will not pass through the screens at the quartz
mills is carried on TO the roads, though some
of it in any other locality would be considered
rich.
