ne. Ther [the Supreme Judgesl arc

State. They THE Supreme Judges are
guardians Of the laws Of the State, and
have a perfect right to express an opin-
ion, to this or any other body, on that
point. All other States, | believe, have
a clause in their Constitution or laws,
whereby they can call or the Supreme
Court to decide on any question within
twenty-four hours, that may pass before
the Legislature; news to usi1 but we
have nothing of the kind. Hence, |
say, the Judges Of the Supreme Court
have a right, and it is within their pro-
vince, to express an opinion upon this
subject; and I believe they have so done.
Having expressed that opinion, ask
you of what value would u bill of this
kindsbe, which we might put through
herefe None whatever. It is perfectly
useless. | care not what course is taken
with this bill, but in my opinion we
should dispose of it at once and COM
mence de moro. Let US decide on some
thing that the whole Legislative and
Executive Departments can agree on.
Let us be united [meaning, If anything:
Let the Legislature do as the Governor
and Supreme Judges say, and then we
can obtain what we want-but not
otherwise" .ra. r.
The "inhuence" Of the two Judges,
Brosnan and Beatty, is here thoroughly
confessed and applied and urged, by
Senator Meder, on his positive informa-
ton of their "opinion," uttered as
"guardians of the laws of the State"
1t is lone of our question Of privilege
to reconcile Meder with Meder; or to
attempt hereafter to reconcile Meder
with Judge Brosnan, or any other man.
They see each other every day, and they
can talk this thing over, and fix it up to
suit themselves.
We guess, now, that we will rise from
this question of privilege, on our own
motion, with the recommendation that
''this thing" that we've been ''talking
over" be made the special order for the
first o fnext April. Agreed. Adjourned.
INCORPORATION OF GOLD HILL
AGAIN.
An Act amendatory to the corporation
law of the town of Gold Hill, was pass
ed by the Senate yesterday. The bill
was introduced by Senator Stevenson
on Tuesday, on leave, and passed from
its first reading to an engrossment on
the first day. From what u citizens
and business men heard of the features
ofthe Bill as originally drawn up, con-
siderable opposition manifested itself
yesterdy morning, and q remonstance
against its passage was drawn and nu-
merously signed, and would have been
forwarded to Carson this morning, but
the mail last night brought up a letter
from our townsman N. A. H. Ball, Esq,
explaining away all the Objectionable
portions of the original Bill, which
seems to have been entirely revised.
The following are the main features
Of the Bill which passed the Senate,
and which is now or the general file Of
the Assembly, subject to be acted upon
any day. 1t provides that five Town
