GARRETT DAVIS IN THE SENATE
That Garrett Davis, who is permitted to
pollute the Senate of the United States
with his presence, is practically rebel, no
one can doubt who has watched his course
for the last two sessions. Recently he Of
fered a series of resolutions, seventeen in
number, in nearly all of which he denoun-
ced the Government in his usual billings
gate style, and in one of which he calls
upon the people, if his views are not car
ried out, to revoltagainst the Government
and destroy it. For this, Senator Wilson
offered resolution for his expulsion from
the Senate. When it came up for consider
alton, Davis, in his reply to Wilson, con-
firmed all that he was charged with. He
threatened, if expelled, to go home and
raise the cry of opposition, tyranny, usur-
patton and revolution against the faithless
who have charge of the Government
This is treason, if anything orally spoken
can be. Jesse d. Bright used similar Ian
guage, and he was sent home, but his
threats were as impotent as Davis will be
and sunk into the merited oblivion which
Davis will find among the loyal, brave and
intelligent people of Kentucky.
The President, during the term of his
Office, is the visible head of the Govern.
ment; there cannot be two Presidents al
the same time, and there cannot be di-
vided power or two kinds of loyalty. Men
holding this high office may be changed
by the power of the ballot-box, and with
them public measures may be altered, but
the President, must be supported in the
execution of laws All counsels to the
contrary are simply disloyal and treasona
BILE, and should be so treated. The Sen
ate owes to itself, it owes it to the Presi
dent, whom it advises, and it owes it tt
the brave soldiers fighting against the re
bellion, and it owes it to the loyal people
of the land to expel Garrett Bavis from
the Senate of the United States of Amer
lea, that all the world may learn to respec
and esteem the purity and the patriotism
of that most august and powerful body o
Legislators in the world.-Erchange.

A Coop REAsoN.-A Grand Jury

huge negroe for stealing chickens
and before discharging him from Gus

manded-he concluded as follows:
"Youc can now go, John, but Shaking
his finger at him) let me warn you

big white eyes, and with broad grin,
displaying row of ivory, replied

longs only to the white man who say to
the white man that he ought not to vol
unteer because it is an abolition war; and
that the conscription is unlawful and
very unnecessary because We ought
to depend on volunteers and who, after
doing everything in their power to render
the law ineffective, come here and, with a
coolness that would be absolutely refresh
ing if the times were not so much out of
joint, demand its repeal on the grounds
that they have succeeded! F! have heard
it stated that the district of the gentleman
from New York who is most importunate
on this point has yielded-under his pat
riotic auspices, no doubt-about three
hundred and fifty soldiers, leaving his vo-
ters of course, most comfortably intact,
and in condition to govern the nation
at least, if they will not fight for it. If
he fayors the war however, as he says he
does, why does he not endeavor to amend
the law ? IF the commutation clause is
the difficulty with his constituents, and
he thinks that poor man can pay 81 ,O0O
for substitute more easily than he can
$500, why does he not move to strike it
out?
| fear it cannot be made to suit gentle
r Al. Loo,k
less it can be so framed as to defeat the
object entirely. Their constitutional scru-
pies will not allow them to do anything
for the salvation of this nation. They have
found no difficulty heretofore in discover
ing in that instrument every power that
was required to further the interests of
the divine institution. They had no diff
ficulty in regard to the Louisiana or Flor
ida purchases; none as to the annexation
of Texas none as to the assumption of its
debts none as to the purchase or seizure,
at the expense of another war like the
Mexican if necessary, of the gem Of the
Antilles When the attempt is made,
however, to extract anything valuable from
that instrument for the interests of human
ity or the preservation of the nations life,
it is no better than capm mortuna-
without vitality, full of distractions, i'm
potent for good, but alive all over, in all
its members, and actively omnipotent, too,
for mischief. These constitutional ex-
Founders who strain at gnat make no ac-
count of taking in camel at a breakfast.
l should despair of making anything out
of them by constitutional argument.

Radiant from rebellious storm.

The ZoDIAcAL LIGHT AS SEEN IN CALI
PoRSIA.-This beautiful and wonderful at
mospheric body or phenomenon, for Its ma
ture is vet but little understood, Is exhibited
in no country in such clear and percepnble
outlines as in California. For the last SIX
months, particularly from the LIST November,
1853, TO February, 1854, from the exceeding
clearness and tranquility of the evenings, It
shows itself before the declining sun, es-
uecially near the sea shore, in all its singu-
iarly and lovely proportions, and continues
to be visible till even midnight, if no clouds
are in the way. When the sun Is setting It
NAV be seen in soft orange-colored rays
reaching many degrees upward, and many
people take it for the rays Of that orb when IN
its daily decline. After dark 1t resolves its
appearance into 4 long luminous track of an
elongated triangular figure, reaching nearly
M 10 the central part Of the heavens, culmi-
mating not far from the zenith, and appearing
like the subdued light of the tail of distant
eomet-such as the immense affair seen IN
California three or four years ago. In the
great plains of the country, and we suppose
EQUALLY so in Washoe, Utah and Arizona, its
appearance from the refraction of the rays OF
the heated surface, is equalled, If not proba-
bly much exceeded BY its show near the
ocean line. II lies nearly in the suns eelep-
tic. its base being on the horizon, and the
apex at all degrees OF attitudes. In the even
ing it NAV be seen over the track OF the set
ting sun, a little north OF west, and IN the
morning, about dawn, little south Of east.
1t is supposed BY some to be cosmical body
near to the earth's atmosphere, Of most ethe-
real and attenuated nature, similar to the
tail of comets, as the stars appear through it,
and slightly resembles the nebula Of the
milky way. Its nature has never been ex-
amined in California, where, however, it
could be done just now, and till April, with
great facility.

THE DowSIEyILLE FIRE.-A dispatch from
Dowuieville sunday night gives the following
account OF the destruction OF that town: The en-
tire business portion Of Downieynle was De-
stroyed by the fire lnss evening. The fire caught
near the center of the town and spread with such
rspdity that but small amount OF property
was saved, many persons having time scarcely 10
get away themselves. The loss will reach fuily
$4,000, very little Of which was insured
The fremen made every eSertion TO save the town,
but owing 10 the high wind prevailing at the time
their efforts were without avail The contents OF
several cellars considered fre-proofw destroyed
and of others damaged by water. But three houses
remain standing in the business portion Of the
town. In all of which considerable damage was
sustained. Notwithstanding houses on Durgan
and Jersey fats caught lire several times, no ma
terial damage was sustained by residents in those
localities Both printing offices were destroyed
with a major part OF the material; l send you
