SUNDAY LAw.-The Dalles Mountaineer says
the merchants and business men of that place
shave signed stipulation agreeing to disregard
the Sunday law. They have also subscribed a
fund of $500, to be used in defending any suit
that may be brought for violating the law. This
movement originates, not in any lawless dispo-
sition, but from the necessaries of our position
as town depending upon the mining trade
At Umatila, La Grande and Canyon City, q
similar course will be pursued, and in the face
of this unanimity, it is scarce likely that a seri-
GUS attempt will be made to enforce the law"

Our late California exchanges speak Of . num-
Der of arrests made in different parts Of the
State of persons who exulted over the Presi-
dents assassination. The newspapers without
exception condemn such persons The Marys-
vile Appeal thinks it would be melting out
proper punishment to persons who make use of
exultant expressions, by shooting them down in
their tracks; but still it calls for the severest
punishment the law can inhict upon them. The
question naturally arises as to what the law can
do in the matter. So far as we know there is
no law that punish such otTenses. The
offenders have been taken before the Courts,
but in the absence of any law upon the subject
the Courts can do nothing. If there is any law
that provides for the punishment of such cases
it is perhaps the law provided by General Nc
dowell, which makes sympathizers with the as
sassination, accessories to the crime, and to be
tried as such. If there is any other law which
covers the case, some of the legal fraternity
ough: to make it known to the public. The
Appeal editor appears to be in great trepida-
ton about the matter, having, in his fanatical
zeal, expressed the opinion that the murderers
of the President were instruments in Gods
hands to bring the war to a fitting close A
number of ministers of the Gospel, we notice,
have become impressed with the same idea
Thelogitimate deduction to be made from such
premises, IS, that if God procured the Presi-
dents assassination, He alone is responsible
for the act. But there are but few who will
contend that the murder was planned and ex-
ecuted by any other than Booth and his accom-
plices Ii it was the work of God, as these
fanatics claim, then of course they must rejoice
in the assassination, because through the assas-
sinat;on Gods will was carried out, and they
always rejoice when they believe Gods wH is
done. Now, to carry out the doctrine strictly
of Furnishing those who in any way sympathize
with The assassins, or who ezuit over the muir
der it will be seen that these intensely loyal
fanatics would come in for share.
Persons familiar with tLc route leading from
Chico, California, to the Owyhee mines, inform

1t is noteworthy fact that many people of

the government as tour rulers" Formerly the
officials were termed by the people, their "ser-

fcials constitute the sovereign power. What
ever change has taken place is unquestionably
toward the Capitalization of power in the hands
