Mr.. Vallandigham's Protest.

Let History record that when Clement l..
Vallandigham was put upon trial before Burn
sides Starchamber Court-martial, he demanded
''to be tried according to the Constitution and
laws of his country" but was refused this sa-
cred and inalienable privilege of an American
citizen. Let History also deliver to posterity
the manly protest against his arrest and trial
which he submitted to the court martial. That
this protest is founded upon the solid basis of
the civil law, is beyond all cayil. We have
gone to the trouble to look up the authorities
on the principal point which it presents, and
we find in the case of Smith VS.. .Sha,o, II Johns
POI, the following emphatic language, which
must be accepted as the law upon the subject
"a citizen of the United States, not in mill
ary service, is not amenable to acourt-martial" ~
Again, in Mills VS.. Martin, 10 Johns. Z, and
BROOKS VS.. adams, II Pick. 442, we have the
following:
ga court-martial has only special and lin
tied jurisdiction; and to render its proceedings
valid, 1t must be sho,cn that they uere avithin its
Jurisdiction"
Now, let Mr.. vallandigham's protest be COM
pared, in legal point of view, with these de-
cissions, and let the people, who must be the
jury in this case, decide whether he has been
fairly and legally tried and whether any finding
against him by Burnsidcs shoulder strapped
inquisitors, can be of any validity.

"The Age"

This sble and useful journal has recently
been greatly enlarged and is, now, really the
best daily morning newspaper published in
Philadelphia. Aside from its politics (Which
we entirely approve) TIE Age is an excellent
monetary and commercial Journal, furnishing
full reports Of the markets and containing sound
and truthful expositions of affairs on change
and in the business world. If any of our read
ers desire to take morning daily from Phila-
delphia, let them do themselves favor by sub
scribing for The Age Democrats, especially,
now that they have got good paper of their
own, should no longer patronise that contuma-
cious and malignant sheet, the Philadelphia
Inquirer, which has become notorious for its
sensation stories manufactured to order to make
it sell. We hope that The Age win be extensive
ly taken in this county. Address A. j. Gloss

The Copper Hill Company is shipping
good ore. The Newton (Amador county,

In Ell Dorado county some rich strikes are

To illustrate the enhanced value of the
copper interests of California, we can state
that one year ago an interest of $50 feet in
the Union mine could have been purchased
for $4,000, or SIG per foot. The adj

The Election.

The election on Wednesday passed off in
San Francisco with remarkable uuietness
There was no disturbance Of the public
peace, though for a day or two reports were
in circulation that design was entertained
to assall negroes and break up the polls
They emanated from individuals who thought
that the creation of fears would be the
means of urging on organized bodies to
deprive conservative citizens of the right Of
availng themselves of The franchise. Hap
ply all was done without violence; and it
becomes our duty to record that a more
peaceful election never occurred in this city
than that Of Wednesday last The Democ.
racy in advance, conceded to their opponents
the unlimited right to vote AS they desired;
but they were at the same time resolved to
exercise their constitutional and natural
privileges as citizens at every hazard. 1t is
too late in the day for the parlizans of the
present Administration to claim all the
patriotism that exists in the country the
Democracy are their equals in numbers in
California and their superlors in everything
that rises above Puritanical hypocrisy and
greed The Democracy of California from
oio noI W De otlU UHltLlZSu or
revied. The supporters Of Downey for
Governor; of Weller, Bgler, and Whitesides
for Congress are as loyal and true to their
country as any; and far, far above the fanatics
and hangers-on of the administration who
supported Low, as words can express.
This State has gone against the Democracy
by perhaps 10000 majoaity, but they have
no cause for mourning. Over $4,000 citizens
have registered themselves as protesting
against the corruptions, peculations and
measures that have reduced the inhabitants
Of the United States from being the free and
happiest en- the earth, to prostraton at the
feet Of flaeck Stanton, Black and the rest
Of the Washington cabal who print and
make money out of the blood of the people.
Next year the Democracy of California will
number 10000. S. f. Monitor.

A Rich Scene...A Warning to Women
who Wear Short Hair.

We yesterday heard of a serio comic in.
cident which occurred not hundred miles
from here, that must have been decidedly
interesting to the parties concerned, and
should prove valuable story for the perusal
of jealous husbands. The facts given are
as follows:
One of our most respectable citizens, who
is blessed with one of the pTettest and best
of wives, and one little responsibility" had
been absent from home for some days. His
spouse during his absence had discharged the
servant girl and employed in her place the
wife of soldier who had just returned from
the war.
The little woman being lonely in her
husbands absence had induced the soldiers
wife to share the bed with her. On the
night the loving husband returned, the
woman had, before retiring. been engaged
in repairing her soger mans coat, and had
careessly thrown it on chair in the sitting
room. The anxious husband returned about
twelve o'clock, admitted himself with
his night KEY, found everything quiet, and
noselessIy struck a light, when the first
thing that attracted his attention, was the
soldiers coat upon the chair near the door
of bis wfe's bedroom. Instantly the green
eyed monster seized him, and steathlv
throwing the light upon the bed he saw his
wife reposing upon the same pillow with
masculine appearing person. The woman
who was with her wearing her hair shngled,
and being coarse featured.
lie was for a moment uanstixed with rage,
but soon determined to wreak the direst
vengeance upon the supposed guilty pair.
lie soon procured deadly weapon, and,
with murder in his eyes, advanced towards
the sleeping couple. At this juncure the
soldiers wife awoke, and seeing lhe-to her
strange man approaching with savage
aspect, jumped from the bed with scream,
making a dash for closet, where she was
for n moment safe. This of course awoke
the wife. Her attempts to learn what the
trouble was, were trnilless. The enrayed
husband would not listen. He rushed to
the closet, and dragged forth the trembling
woman from her hiding place. Upon bring,
ing her to light, and discovering her sex,
the scene may be well imagined, but We
shall not undertake to describe it.
