TEE AQU1LA AND CAXANCHE.-The Locals
Of the San Francisco press, have had per-
feet God send in the sinking of the Aquila.
Ever since this ill-fated vessel sank, (per-
haps to rise no more, they have daily
hshed up string of items, from the watery
depths where lies her mournful wreck.
The Aquils, be it known, was an old sail
vessel freighted by Government with
the ironclsd Comsnche, designed to protect
our coast against foreign and domestic
foes. Safely scared Tor ssiled) the
Eagle" over the stormy seas, but the
night after she lit at one Of our warts,
she was stove in during gale of wind
and now lies snug as bug in rug" in
forty feet Of mud and brine. An attempt
has been made to raise her by drawing
sails under her keel and then pumping heI
out, but it failed. A thousand and one
plans have been suggested but there she
rests. The San Frsnoiscans are sadly ex'
srcised over their lost RAM" but father
Neptune is inexorable.
We need an ironclad badly and tits to b'
hoped that ere long the COmanche may bt
rescued from her watsry bed.

are a great many such characters in Idaho as

to hurrah for Davis as they are for Lincoln, or

than they are Republicans no matter whether
they hurrah for jeff and Abe. before or after an

Are Returned Miners and TrhrniT =
titled to Vote 'ig.v

Judge Wait, for many years Chief Justice of
the Supreme bench in Oregon, in an opinion
given through the columns of the Oregon arena
upon the question of the right of Immigrants
and returned miners to vote, says;
Our Constitution, Article q provides as fol-
lows "Section l.. All elections shall be free
and equal" 49," that every white male citi-
zen of the United States, of the age
of twenty-one years and upwards, who
shall have resided in the State during the six
months Immediately preceding such election"
"shall be entitled to vote at all elections au-
thorized by law" Such citizen is entitled by
the Constitution, to vote at the approaching
Presidential election, and legislative act can
destroy or impair that constitutional right.
So far as returned miners are concerned,
lay down the following as law, viz: That no
temporary absence from the State works for
feiture of residence. Any citizen of this State
may temporarily absent himself therefrom, up
on business, pleasure, or mining, for one day,
one year, two years or longer, without the loss
of his residence; and, in contemplation of law,
he is deemed to have actually resided in the
State during all that time. Business and con-
venience have demanded this Construction of
the law, and the judicial arm of the Government
has fully so adjudged.
In order to determine the right of immigrants
/
piled by the term president" A resident is an
inhabitant Both of these words less COM
prehensive than the term 'dOmice, y and it is
under the head of ''domicile" that the elective
franchise is treated of by law authors, and in
legal decisions person may be resident
and an inhabitant of place without having a
"domicile' there but 'domicile" includes
both residence and bitancy-therefore, any
free white male citizen of the United States,
over twenty-one years of age whose "domicile''
has been in Oregon for six months next proceed
ing an election, is entitled to vote; and any
such citizen, who six months prior to the next
election, left and abandoned his residence in a
sister State, with the bonafde intention Of ma
king this State his future home, and who, there
upon carried out that intention and is now re-
siding in this State at the next election This
doctrine has been adjudged both in the Federal
and State courts.
In New York Massachusetts, and other States,
the following doctrines have been recognized at
law, to-wit: lst, that "every person has la dom
cile somewhere" and I'd, that "no person can
have more than one domicie for one purpose at
the same time" And from these doctrines it
necessarily and clearly follows that when per-
son abandOns his residence in one State, with
the bonafde intention of removing to and ma
king his residence and home in another State,
and actually carries out that intentions his resi-
dence in his new dOmicile relates back by i'm
plicati0n of law, to the time of the abandon
ment of his old domicile. Any other cOnstruc-
tiOn of the law would either give man twO DOM
iciles for voting 'at one and the same time or
for q time at least, he would not have ga domi-
cile somewhere" ARoN E. WAIT.

The Rebels Prefer the Election of Mr. Lin
coin to Gen. Mcclellan.

A correspondent of the New York Herald,
writing from the midst of the rebel commission
ers and emissaries at the Clifton House, says
As have already telegraphed, the rebel en-
issaries declare that they prefer Lincoln to Nc
Clellan. Their reason for this is, as they assert,
they are sure to gain their independence if Lin
coin is reelected; that the war will be carried
on with his bungling mismanagement until the
people of the North become dsgusted, and a
revolution will follow, which will make their
success certain. With Mcclellan in the White
House, they fear bold move on his part that
will turn the masses against the leaders of the
South, and cause general Stampede leaving
the leaders of the Southern COnfederacy in the
lurch.'
This is unquestionably the rebel view of the
case, and the rebel preference in the case. Nor
is either the one or the other confined to the
rebels of the rebellious States. On the contra
~, both are entertained by all persons, no mat
ter where they may be, who sincerely wish the
rebellion to succeed Ask real secessionist in
the midst of ourselves, for example, what his
preference is as between Lincoln and Mcclellan,
and he will tell you that it is wholly for Lin
coin. Press him for the reason of his prefer
ence, and he will assign the same reason assigned
Nv the rebel emissaries in Canada. He believes
the SGuth is sure to gain its independence if
Mr.. Lincoln Is reelected. And this is the uni
versaI belief amongst the rebels and their abet-
tors. And founded upon this beliefs thelr uni
yersal preference for Lincoln over Mcclellan.
All this is significant, verifying remarkably
the doctrines of the conservatives respecting
Mr.. Lincoln policy, as showing unmistakably
the duty of patriots in the coming election
Let the indications be carefully pondered 1t is
certain, as we conceive, that the rebels do not
oyerrate the consequences (Which Mr.. Lincoln's
reelection would draw upon the government,
though we think it equally certain that they
underrate the consequences which that event
would draw upon themselves. The reelection
of Mr. Lincoln would involve indeed the de-
struction of the government but not the inde-
pendence of the South for the destruction of
the government and the dissolution of the Union,
so far from being equivalent to the independ-
ence of the South would involve the loss of in
dependence as well as of civil liberty to South
and North alike. There is and can be no such
thing as the independence of the South outside
of the Union and the Constitution. The hope
of Southern independence is a wild and guilty
dream. Sooner or later it will be dispelled, and
the sooner the better for the consequences of
cherishing it are utterly ruinous to the people of
the whole Union. The preservation of the
Union of the Constitution is the condition of the
true independence of the South as well as the
North The destruction of the Union will draw
after it the extinction of Southern independence
not less than of Northern independence. The
grave of the Union will be the grave Of Ameri-
can liberty. anl tae

elected. He no doubt believes that "slavery
and republican form of government are incom-
patble." He perhaps always thought so, not
withstanding our Republic hourished and pros
pered as never any government did before, for
nearly a century in connection with the institu-
ton of slavery. We cannot reason ourselves
into the belief that Mr.. Lincoln can restore the
Union by making war upon the established in
stitutions of portion of the States. war,
conducted upon such basis to restore the
Union, it seems to us, can never have the sup
port of even majority of the people of the
North, while the war itself would be manifestly
an unjust one. The theory of such a war is
based upon false premises, totally at variance
and inconsistent with the principles of Repub-
lican government. If such a war could in the end
be successful so far as to subjugate the South,
we conceive that the Union which we would
then have would be one held together by stand
ing armies and the bayonet. Slavery might
be removed by such war, but in removing it,
''the cause of the war; claimed by Mr. Lin
coin and his adherents, would it not furnish am
pie cause with the subjugated people to rise up
so soon as opportunity offered and make war
upon the people who had previously subjugated
them and robbed them and destroyed their po-
litical rights We certainly think so. We un-
derstand that the legitimate objects to be at
tanned by the war, are not to interfere with the
established institutions of the rebellious States
or for the purpose of diveS,ing the people of the
right to regulate their domestic affairs in their
own way, but for the purpose of protecting the
loyal people in such rights, subject to the Con-
stitution of the United States, and for the pur-
pose of overthrowing the rebelliOus authority
of Jefferson Davis and the so-called Southern
Confederacy And we believe that when these
latter objects are attained, the war ought to
cease. If the result can be accomplished with
out the further shedding of blood, in the name
of Heaven let it be done. These are our views
and they are the views of Gen. Mcclellan, and
because we believe that he would adhere to the
line of policy which he lays down, if elected,
we anxiously hope that he will be our nextPres-
ident We believe that under the guidance of
Mcclellan the Union would be restored and
that under the guidance of Lincoln it would not
be restored And this is the reason, or rarther
these are some of the reasons why we do not
give 'sthe other side"
, 1864-10-28

Rightly considered, therefore, the political
and social interests of the South are in COM
plete harmony with those of the North, both de-
manding the defeat of Mr.. Lincoln, who is de-
stroying the Union by subverting the Constitu-
tion, and the election of conservative Pres-
dent, who will preserve the Union by vindica-
ting the Constitution. The rebels we need not
say, would show a more enlightened sense of
self-interest and indeed higher order of char
acter in general, if they would but acknowledge
this great fact, and manfully tender their sub
mission to the Constitution, instead of plotting
for Mr.. Lincolns reelection, by way of pursuing
the shadow Of independence, in clutching which
they must drop the substance. In desiring Mr..
Lincoln's reelection, the rebels display the
madness with which the gods are said to smite
those whom they would destroy. The thing in
truth is sheer madness. The rebels know not
what they do. If their desire should unhappily
be realized they, as is too certain would have
the malignant satisfaction of witnessing the
overthrow of the Union, but they themselves
could not escape the falling temple. They
would pay dearly for their vengeance Like
Samson they would die with the Philistines.-
The South and the North would be overwhelmed
in one common ruin. But leaving the rebels to
act as their reasonable passions may direct, we
ask the loyal men of the Union, the men who
earnestly desire the preservation of the national
unity as the condition of the national independ-
ence and OF the national liberty, whether or not
they are willing to cooperate with the rebels in
their mad design, by promoting the reelection
of Mr.. Lincoln? The friends of the Republic, if
they will, may yet save it, in spite alike of
Southern and of Northern revOlutionists. We
say they mag if they 0iU. Win they not? viii
they not in this solemn emergency, lay aside
every consideration but that of the national
peril expel every motive but that of love for the
liberties bequeathed to us by our fathers, and,
uniting under this sure and solitary inspiration,
strike mighty blow for the salvation of the
Republic? Let them do this, and the Republic,
now reeling upon its deep foundations, will be

Modification in Oregon.

The Olympia Standard charges the loyal Leg
islature of Oregon with passing a notification
act-a Specific Contract Law. The Standard
announces the fact as follows;
'By Mondays Oregoaian we learn that the
Oregon Legislature has passed a Specific Con-
tract Law This is practical notification, for
its effect will be- until declared unconstitution-
al by the Federal courts, to nullify the law of
Congress declaring that Treasury notes shall be
a legal tender for all debts that may be con-
tracted We had INDUCED the hope that Ore
gon would have preserved the reputation she
had won for her loyal devotion to the interests
of the Government by her large Union maJori-
ties by refusing to follow the evil example set
her by California but like her sister State, her
supposed pecuniary interests proved too strong
for her patriotism"
The loyal (Rep.) papers of Oregon take diff
ferent view of the matter, sustaining the legiti-
mateness of the Contract law. The MOuntaineer
thinks the law all right, and speaks of Mr..
Thorntons protest against the bill in this style
"Crazy Thornton is out in an address to the
people of Oregon, in which he bewails the pas
sage of the specific contract law. The old lu-
natic sees notification, secession, and we know
not how many other evils, in a bill the sole OBJ
ject of which is to compel knaves to do that
which honest people do from choice. 1t is diff
hcult at times to distinguish between folly and
knavery, but in the case of the Benton county
member, the fool sticks out all over, and we
bespeak for the spcctacled old lunatic the cap
and bells'
Not much argument about that, but consider
able zeal for the contract act
But, admitting that the passage of the law is
s'practical notification" as the Standard asserts,
it should be borne in mind that the bill was in
troduced in the Oregon legislature by Repub-
lican member, advocated by Republicans and
passed by Republican votes. The Cooper
heads" as all Democrats are termsdg usually
are made to shoulder everything that looks in
the slightest particular like disloyalty, but the
passage of this notification, specific contract
act cannot be charged upon them; for to seek to
find Copperhea6 among the members of the
searching for a needle in hay stack. And
that's the worst of it-a great secession crime
committed and no Copperheads to lay the infa-
nous act upon. Yet after all we not appre-
hensive that Oregon will secede from the Union
right away. She always follows in the foot
steps of California, and California passed spe-
cifc contract law nearly two years ago, and she
still remains in the Union. That State remains
as true to the Union as any other State and we
do not think there is any likelihood OF her leg
islature passing secession ordinance, and we
arc quite certain that Oregon will not attempt
secession unless California sets the pernicioGs
pattern. If the latter State should ever so far
forget her loyalty and devotion to the Union as
to commit the traitorous act of secession, Ore
tempt.

Salmon p Chase, according to the eastern
dispatches, is spoken of as likely to fill the va
cancy made in the U. S. Supreme Court, by the
death of Chief Justice Taney. Putting a bitter,
Abolition partisan like Mr.. Chase upon the Su-
preme Bench, would be putting another impedi-
ment in the way of restoring the Union. How
venerable Roger B, Taney? Surely, this is a
day of small men when corrupt demagogues
like greenback- Chase with his fanatical notions
can fill the seat of a Taney.

Look 0Ur.-Look out for bogus dispatches
about election times. We shall perhaps learn
before the 8th of November that the rebel back
bone has been broken; that the rebels have
been driven into the much talked of last ditch;
that Richmond has been taken; that the rebel
lion is at an end, etc. Such dispatches are sup
posed to have an influence with wavering,
weak-minded men, and thus make votes for
Lincoln and Johnson.
