lowing is an extract from IN editorial lately
appearing in the Boston Common wealth, the
home organ Of Senator Sumner. l; gives
says the Napa County Reporter, little in
sight into the revolutionary designs of the
radicals. Union men should ponder well
before they give their voice in favor Of the
Radicals in aud out Of Congress:
In view of the possibilities Of the near fu'
ture, and weakness Of the present incumbent,
is it not desirable that we have some change
in the officers who preside over the Senate!
Mr. Foster, the present incumbent, has the
confidence Of the few. Those who believed
in his party integrity do not have faith in
bis courage. A majority of Senators doubt
both. Senator Foster has been offered for
eign mission when his term is completed,
on the single condition Of bis remaining qui.
escent in the Senate, whatever may occur
Mr.. Foster has accepted! Were it not a
mere question of etiquette, false idea OF
de|icacy, the Senate majority would imme-
dia'ey elect another President. Senator
Sherman Of Ohio. Anthony, of Rhode Island
and Pomeroy Of Kansas, are candidates. Ol
the three the latter is the best because most
truly Radical. But the man in view Of the
possible emergency is Senator Wade. lie
has the requisite ability. skill. and above all
the courage. Sherman could not be trusted
fully; Anthony is pleasant gentleman, bnt
hat S all; while Pomeroy will give way to
Mr. Wade If bis friends should bring him
forward.

meeting was called by them and largely at
tended by co|ored people. The meeting WAS
addressed by several persons in language
most infammatory, calling upon the freed
men to arm themselves and defend the Con.
venlion. and the day fixed for its meeting,
promising them they would be given the
right to vote, etc.
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury. by reference
to the proceedings Of the Convention Of 1854
you will perceive that these very men and
co-operators had power to grant the right ol
franchise to the colored people by vote Of
72 to 20. a clear m%jorty Of So vo,es.-
They had the enire control Of the conven.
tion, and why not spare the blood Of these
unfortunate men-if guided by patriotic mo-
tives-and their own blood. aud The loss OF
so many citizens and officers.
On The so,h day of July, the lime adver-
tised for the meeting Of these men, the freed
men assembled in large numbers With demon.
strations tending to riot. The members
of the late convention, to the number Of 25
or 80, pI pIoceeded TO the Mechanics Hall, and
attempted to organize. Up to this time it
appears but little or no trouble had accrued;
aud [ think it most likely but for misun.
derstanding between the military and civil
authorities the riot would have been at this
point suppressed. At the request of Cen
Hays, sheriff Of the parish of Orleans, ap-
peared at an early hour iu the morning for
the purpose Of swearing 10 large number
Of influential and respectable citizens as spec
ia deputies for the day. But be having
what lie deemed reliable information that he
would not be permitted to execute the pro.
cess Of this court, declined having them
sworn. Such body Of men could not have
failed to have great weight in the suppress
sion Of riot, as well as aiding in the execu.
ton Of the process Of the court.
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, my apollo
gy for dwelling SO long upon the circun'
stances of this case, is ils vast importance to
the State, and the Efforts that will most like
ly be made 10 show the ineffcienry of The
courts Of the State to preserve the public
peace and maintain ORDER 1t mus, be borne
in mind that the riot in New Orleans, on
Monday last. was an attempt TO subvsrt the
government of the State, which is always at.
tended by disorder, and usually with blood
shed, which cannot be prevented by the wi.
sest foresight, or the most efficient laws.

John B. Weller.

Ex-Governor Weller has been taking
hand in the recent political fight in Idaho.
The World says:
The democracy Of Idaho are grateful to
Governor Weller, ard they have reason to
be so. There are bu, few representatives Of
the golden age Of this republic left. Dur
ing the last ten years most Of the remarkable
men who immortaized the Senate Of the
United States by their wisdom, eloquence
and Craftsmanship, have passed away. Few
remain like The pilsred columns Of a wiser
and better age. Gov Weller is one Of these.
When most Of those who have listened to
his words this summer we're sill iu their in
fancy or boy ybood, he occupied foremost
station among the ranks Of distinguished
men Of this country. The mutations Of thir,
ty years have not changed his opinions; the
struggle and conflicts Of parties which have
arisen, fought out their fight, and died, dur
ing the political career, have left him SCARED
and weather beaten, but true AS steel 10 the
ancient faith.
The counsel of such man deserved pa
tient ear, and right we'll has the old Roman
used it.. Idaho will long remember liz pres
ence, and the democracy will ever hold bim
in grateful emenbrance. Time has left his
energies uumpaired, his intellect as vigor-
Gus as in younger days As popular ora
tor, be is, perhaps, more effective than ever.
When his name was called from the stand in
Idaho City, it was the signal Of q general OUT
pouring Of the people of all parties. Men
we're compelled to respect ard admire him
though they could not endorse bis political
opinions. He spoke plainly, fyrcibly

them TO q state of destitution to be compelled
to pay those debts now. This all sounds very
plausible, but let us take the worst possible
case that can be supposed, and look at it in q
plain practical manner. A young man just
setting out in life, in the year 1860, with q
large quantity of rich land and plenty of
bank stock, buys negroes to work that land,
and gives his bond for the purchase money,
payable in four years. He has every pros
pect of being able to meet his obligations by
the product of his lands, or if that fails he
con dispose of his bank stock. The war
comes, his bank stock is worthless, his ne
groes are set free, his obligation becomes due,
and he has nothing with which to meet it
but his land. If that is sold he is reduced
to absolute poverty.
Here then, if ever, is case for the appli-
cation of the Stay Law. But let US suppose
for moment that there had been no war,
that some pestilenoe had carried off his ne
groes, that there had been financial crisis
and the banks had failed. Is he any worse
off now than he would have been under such
circumstances Yet no Court could have
protected him then, and no Legislature would
have assisted him with Stay Law.
Misfortunes must not be remedied by inius-
tioe. Jsckals prey upon the dead. In times
of war and general distress there are always
men who fatten on tho evils of the land.
Spectators, extortioners, traitors, towards
grew wealthy in the Southern States during
the dreadful struggle through which We have
just passed, but it will never do in striving to
deprive these wretohes of their booty, to
place bar in the way of enforcing all just
and righteous demands.

CHI A r L T. S T O N
TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 8, 1866.
THE BALL HAS OPENED.

AT last the sound of preparation is hushed,
echoes to our western shores. Prussia has
the vantage ground. In the race for Dresden,
it was thought Austria would be the winner;
but the telegraph announces o different re-
suit Saxony is turned out of doors. The
King had to seek refuge in Bohemia. This
will doubtless be the next objective point of
the Prussian army on the south. The Fede-
raj army, composed of the contingents of
Bavaria, Saxony, Hanover, and the minor
States of Germany, are operating in the
vicinity of Frankfort, and even though q
Hessian regiment was almost annihilated in
its efforts to keep the Prussians out of Frank
fort,-if they are properly handled, they
will, in our opinion, prove quite sufficient to
cope with the enemy on the north and west.
Austria must take care Of the south and
east.
Much will depend, of course, on the ability
of the generals in command. The materiel
of the soldiery on both sides is pretty much
the same. They are men of one blood, one
language and one kindred. In discipline and
organization also, they are very similar. Prus-
sia has the advantage in the management of
her army in Germany in being q unit, while
the Austro- Federal army will, in all proba-
bility, have two heads, and there will always
be more or less difficulty in manouvring this
compound force.
True, Italy and Prussia also form an alli-
ance, and the same objection might be urged
in their case. But the two cases are not
necessarily analogous. Italy can operate
with great advantage on tho southern from
tier of Austria, and through Hungary, per-
haps, on the east, and need never come in COL
lision with her ally in the north.
The telegraph is somewhat obscure, as re-
CARDS Oldenburg and Anhalt. We do not
understand precisely what can be meant by
the secession of these two little States. AS
there ore three Anhalts, the split may refer
to four States: the Grand-duohy of Oldenburg
and the three petty principalities of Anhalt
Dessau, Bernburg and Kethen. But it is
idle to predicate any guess upon the uncer-
tainties of telegraphic Interpretation, espe-
cially where foreign names are concerned.

THE STAY Law IN THE UP COUNTRY.


"!n the Judgment Of this Court, the provisions
Of the Acts Of 1861 and 1865, which interdict the
service OF mesne process, or the enforcement of
final process, are at variance with the article of
the Constitution Of the United States, which pro-
hlblts State from passing any law impairing the
obligation OF contracts, and such provisions are
consequently imperative and void"
Such is the decision of the Court of Errors
of this State, which has raised perfect
storm of indignation among certain classes
in the upper Districts. The decision was made
by the highest Court of the State, after ar.
gument by learned counsel, and it would seem
to reasonable men that the only course left
for good citizens to pursue is to quietly &C.
quiesce.
Plain, however, as this may appear, it is
nevertheless true that great indignation is
felt and expressed by certain classes in the
up country, and it has occasionally found
vent in ways too disgraceful to the State.
The class offended by this decision is numer-
GUS and influential. Many of them are ac-
tuated by narrow but honest prejudice.
Others, again, are so blinded by selfshneus
and love of gain as to be regardless of the
plainest principles Of honor. To enlighten
take common sense view of the matter, such
as it will take no lawyer to interpret.
1t may be inconvenient for man to pay
his debts under certain circumstances, but
that he should be compelled to pay them,
whether inconvenient or not, is certainly
not an injustice of which he has right to
complain. If there is any equitable reason
why he should not pay the debt, the Courts
of Equity are as open to him as ever, and he
will find no difficulty in obtaining an injuno-
ton to prevent the execution of process, either
mesne or final. Where then is the necessity,
that the legislative branch of the Govern
ment should usurp the prerogatives of the
judiciary, and for certain assigned equitable
reasons pass an act of prohibition equivalent
to q deoree of injunction against suits at
law in certain cases. If there were no equi-
table jurisdiction in the Courts of this State,
there might be some excuse for a demand
upon the Legislature to interpose its power
to preventin injustice, but whom we have special
Equity Courts, and the Judges of those Courts
are chosen from the most learned and able of
our lawyers, surely it can only be IN act of
injustice which needs the strong arm of tbe
Legislature to protect it from the deorees of
the Courts
One of the principal arguments on which
the friends of the Stay Law relied for its Jus.
tifcation was this: Before the war many per.
sons of ample means incurred obligations
which they had every reason to believe thew
would be able to meet. By circumstances
beyond their CONTROL this property has been
taken away from them, and it would reduce
