JOIN C. BRECK1N R1DGE.-Prentice OF the
LOuisyilIe Journal, who always opposed John
G. Breckenridge politically, thus speaks Of
that great and pare statesman in . recent
Issue:
Major. General John G. Breckenridge de-
cording to our dispatches has petitioned for
pardon, claiming that the general terms under
which Generals Lee and Johnson surrendered
are applicable TO him. We certainly can see
no reason for doubling that they are appli-
cable to him, but, whether they are or not,
we should rejoice, and multitudes of patriots
would rejoice, at, bis return from bis long
and weary exile. We feel surprised and
panied that his punishment has been so pro-
tracted. We think that he has been treated
with unnecessary, undeserved andiDjudicious
harshnesS and severity. The troubles and
suffering that have Wkitened bis locks in his
manhood's prime bate drawn out to him the
warmest and the deepest sympathies Of tens
Of thousands of true spirits.

which has been granted to the other en- Con

against him seems to as understandable and
odious. He went like hosts of others, iUto the
South, but violated no more obligations than
the rest who went into that service. And his
high bearing throughout the war was never
called il question. Many of the Confederate
leaders were charged with cruelty, with
trea cherry, with official calumny, but not
word was ever spoken against him. No ma
lign breath stained even for a moment his
pure escutcheon. His manly honor, his
knigbtly chivalry, his noble moderation in
the hour of victory, and his unfailing hu-
maDity and kindness to all whom the fortunes
of war put into bis power were universally
appreciated and acknowledged.
2 General Breckenridge is proud man. He
is far TOO promo to violate his faith. What.
ever obligation be may take he will take
without mental reservation. If restCsed to
the rights Of citizenship he will be good
citizen and a valuable one. He is one of
Kentacky's master minds, and devotiDg him.

welfare Of bis old State and his cid country,

RADICAL ETHIcs.-The Central Colorado
Register is thorough Radical sheet, and
suStains its party leaders through good or
bad. To give an instance in the latter view
1t thus speaks of the late session of the Eu.
preme Court, BY which the Military Commits
sion tribunals Of lincoln, Stanton Co., to
systematically murder and otherwise punish
their innoceRt victims, were pronounced un-
constitutional. The reader will remember
that Judge Davis pronounced the decision of
the Court, The Register says:
The reasoning Of Judge Davis is amply sustained
by precedents from American and English law and
decisions. as we'll as by historic presidents. Chief
Justice Chase reasons very closely, but FROM q
wrong premise While We sustain the reasoning
OF Judge Davis, we regard his opinions rs OF no
binding effect at the present time. No law, as he
would pronounce upon, has ever been passed and
certainly no case has ever arisen under it, It was
therefore not within the province of the Court to
decide. Let those take comfort from il who viii,
the opinion is only valuable as indicating what
the decision of the Court might be, should such a
case ever be brought before it. We regret, how.
ever, that the learned Judge should have gone SO
far. 1t would have been sufficient to have decided
the points before the Court and net to. have gone
beyond them. Such opinions delivered in antici.
patton OF laws are an unnecessary and uncalled
for defiance to the law'making power.
In other words, the Register cannot but
admit that the decision was just, but thinks it
ought not to have been made because it
against the credit and interest Of
The Radical party. This is party before

STARTLING DECISION. is time for the
people to be startled when an inferior tribn.
nal deliberately disregards and reverses a
decision of the Supreme Court. This has
been done by Judge Cummius, in a case to
determine who were the lawful Commission
ers,of 0wyhee county. The facts. are as fol.
lows Last August, at the general election,
two Democratic County Commission ers W ere
elected in i0Ryhee. Prior to the time when
they were to assume Office one removed from
the Territory and the other died. The Gov.
ernor appointed two Radicals to ill their
places. The late Legislature passed bill.
over the Governors veto, appointing other
two as the Commissioners To settle con-
fict of opinion as to whom were the lawful
Commissioners-the two appointed by the
Governor, or those appointed by the Legisla-
tnre, an agreed case was submitted to Judge
Gummins!e He decided that the Governors
appointees were the lawful Commissioners.
He did so in the face of a decision of the
Supreme Court, delivered by Judge Kelly,
Chief Justice Mcbride asserting, which ce-
clares the Governor has no authority to ap-
points aThJbis decision, as in other Of his

VIOLENT SrORM.-Late Oregon papers give
accounts of recent very heavy rain storms in
the upper portion Of Willamette Valley, and
in the Uwpqua. The rivers in Southern
Oregon swelled to such height that COM
munication by mail was suspended for days,
and the telegraphic poles and wires were
down in many places, SO as to cut off inter-
course by that medium also. North of Salem
the Willamette country was quite as badly
of. The stages could make no trips.

ANOTHER Broken BANK.-The advocates
Of the National Banking system assert that
there can be no great loss to note holders of

of another gigantic swindle Of note-holders

National Banks, in Dandy, Vermont, which

of eighty per cent National Banks are nearly

FROM OwYHEE.-The following items are
extracted from the Bullion and Avalanche Of
last week:
Prosperous times are promised in the Flint
District. Greenwich l. Co.'s mill is at work,
and Blacks mill will soon start An assay
of ores from the Sherman ledge gave $4,-
800 IS of silver, and 81 % of gold, per ton.
The first extension north Of the Poorman
ledge has been sold in New York by Major
Holland, for $4,000. The extension is 600
feet in Length. The new owners propose to
commence operations in April, with d. n.
Jackson as Superintendent.
The Cosmos Co. are preparing to start
their mill, and it is said that all their finan-
cial affairs will soon be adjusted.
Work will at once be commenced on the
old Hays 3 Rays tunnel, to penetrate into
and connect with the Poorman ledge.
The Woodstock, Dashaway and Vulcan
lodges are being constantly worked, with
from good to frstrase prospects to each.
The trouble about the removal of the coun-
ty seat to Silver City has been adjusted, and
the time of removal was fixed for last Satur-
day, if The day was fair. 80

BILE for agricultural preparation, says resi-
dent on Catherine creek. The Lemhi fever
had carried off few from Owyhee, and more

The WEArHER.-Persons who have lived con.
tinuously in this Basin since the first discovery Of
gold here, in 1867 inform US that the present win
ter, so far, has been much unlike any that
preceded it during these five years. Generally it
is the most favorable winter for the miners ever
experienced here. and from present indications
the mining season will open most propitiously
The average temperature has been milder than in
preceding winters, but the snow fall has been
quite as deep as that Of any. save one. The cold
est consecutive days have been those OF the last
fortnight-the present week colder than last
week. The coolest hours were during the night
of Wednesday and morning Of Thursday, when
the mercury fell to four degrees below zero-the
extreme point in any former week of the winter
having been two degrees below zero. This late
intensely cold snap was ushered in and has been
slightly accompanied by piercing winds from the
nOrthward, which are the first. an old pioneer Of
'62 says, ever known from that direction in this
Basin. There is one peculiar feature of this in.
tensely cold weather which surprises all who have
not been accustomed to such weather. It is the
actually Sigh. effect it has upon the system. Our
citizens wear only about the same amount of
clothing as in the cOOlish weather of last fall,
overcoats are rarely put on, except when travel
ing, and the cold does not so thoroughly and
benumbingly penetrate the body as is the case in
other chimes where the same temperature prevails
in winter The rare atmosphere here causes an
external tingling, but not the penetrating chilli
ness which characterizes denser atmospheres.
And in point Of health we believe mOrtuary
record would prove this place to be the healthiest
Of any on the coast. Those who so much dread
to pass winter in :his place have but to remain
during one, and their horror of the season would
be efectually dispellcd.
