The Poor south ana It's Doctors.

from US f7eTCttI.
The poor South 1t is in very sick, un-
happy, and perplexed condition. 1t is the
victim of too much treatment-too many pre-
scriptons, purges, blisters, and vomits. Self
constituted doctors, quacks, and unskilful
practitioners in numbers are pursuinga course
more likely to kill than cure. 1t is in SINH
lar condition to New York, with its corrupt
and unscrupulous city government and poll
ticians, with its over-oficious and arbitrary
police authorities, and with all sorts of politi-
cal schemes and corrupt jobs with view to
rule and fleece the citizens. Power, party,
and the spoils, and not the public interests,
are the objects in view.
Our correspondents in the South, and the
Southern press, give us picture OF the mis-
chief which such political doctors as Wilson
and Kelley are doing in their voluntary and
unacceptable labors, as well as the bad effects
OF the unskilful and injurious treatment of
the Southerners by some of the military
authorities Although the object OF Senator
Wilson and Mr.. Kelley in their mission to the
South may be only to win the negro vote for
the purpose of strengthening their party-and
we are not disposed to impute any other
there is no doubt that they are doing a great
| deal of harm. One of our correspondents in

is at the bottom of all thoughts and let the
subject be what it may, discussion cannot 60
to any depth in any circle without touching
or stirring this troublesome and permanent
thought of the Southern mind-this political
cuttlehsh that only moves to darken all the
waters. Mr.. Wilson has used this terrible word

the whites and 70 encourage the blacks. True

have no space TO reproduce even a summary
OF Mr.. Van Buren's reasoning on this subject;
nor should we otherwise deem il necessary,
our point of view being historical. The follow
ing remark will suffice to show both the ma
ture of his opinions and the strength of con
viction with which he held them:-''The
deeper the subject is looked into he says,
"the more apparent to all bona fde searchers for
truth will become the fallacy of the principle
which claims for the Supreme Court control
ling authority over the other departments in
respect to constitutional questions"
Circumstances are becoming propitous for
the reassertion by the Democratic party of
its e-honored faith on this subject, with all
the old vigor and emphasis. The advanced
age of the conservative judges renders it
probable that none of them will be left by the
time we have Senate which would confirm a
Democratic appointment. If we admit now
to serve a temporary and unattainabe pur-
pose, that the Supreme Court has an absolute
asCendancy in the Government, the Republ-
cans will be very likely to take us at our word
when we have driven them from the other
departments, and when the Supreme Court,
which the people cannot reach, becomes the
last citadel of their strength. For our part,
we regard it as fortunate that atransient ques-
tion has made it the interest of the Republi-
can party to fling over the old Federal doctrine,
as they are thereby estopped form reviving
the claim when the judiciary is the only
department of the Government left them.

Party Reasons for Public Acts.

From, TIE Times.
Some of the supporters of Mr.. Summers
plan for forcing negro suffrage on the Northern
States, rest their advocacy on the low ground
of partisan expediency. Unless we misunder-
stand the Philadelphia North American, it
urges the measure as essential to the continu-
ance of the Republican party in power. That
the continued ascendancy of this party is, in
the judgment of our contemporary, necessary
for the peace and prosperity of the country, is
a consideration which does not affect the argu-
ment. The fact remains that what is pro-
pounded as a measure of justice derives most
of the support it receives from those who deem
it available as means of achieving party
success. The Washington Chronicle does not
disguise the secret of its love. "Were all the
negroes at the North voters, - it says, "and
should they may be made such by the power
of the Republican party, there is no question
but that we would carry every Northern
State, including Maryland and Delaware, by
overwhelming maiorities." ''The truth is.
the same journal further declares ''the Re-
publican party would sweep the Union from
Maine to Florida, and from the Atlantic to the
Pacific"

aican supremacy might be very good

THE Democratic Party and the Supreme
Court.
From the World.

from Ule WOTtu, .'
In posthumous work. by the late Martin
Van Buren,, on political Parties in the United
States" just published there is the amplest
recital and discussion anywhere to be found of
the attitude of the Democratic party towards
the Federal Supreme Court, and the true rela-
tions of that tribunal to the other departments
of the Government. The reconstruction cases
lately argued and now pending, render this
one Of the most interesting topics of the time.
The appearance of Mr.. Van Buren's book in
the interval between the argument and the
decision is an accidental coincidence which will
attract more attention to his views than they
would have received if their publication had
been less opportune. The great Importance of
the subject in President Van Buren's estima-
tion, is attested by the fact that he devotes to
it three long chapters, which together occupy
move than a hundred pages, or about one
fourth of the volume. That these ample
chapters were written while Chief Justice
fancy was still on the bench and Mr..
Buchanan President shows that they had no
intended reference to the present great contro-
Versy, towhich they happen to be so pertinent.
Why should Mr.. Van Buren, have dilated
on TINS subject to such seemingly dispropor-
uonate length He does not himself ex-
plain but the suite and tissue of the discus
sion' especially in the last of the three chap
tters, afford an easy clue to his motives.

was getting loose from its old moorings,
and beginning to accord to the Supreme
Court an ascendancy in the Government.
which the party and all its most trusted
leaders had, up to that time, consist

heresy. Chief Justice Taney (and President

would identify il with the material welfare and
the sectional harmony of the country; and this
involves obedience to the Constitution, and
respect for the rights of States, rather than the
ultra-radical contempt for both.

THEIR ASTEcEDESTs.-We have already ad-
vsrted to the fact that great excitement existed
in California, growing out of the nomination Of
an Objectionable ticket by the Republican State
Convention. The ticket is constituted as follows
For Governor-Gsorgs G. Gorham, of San
Francisco.
For Lieutenant -Governor-John P. Jones, Of
Trinity county.
For Secretary of Stats-william H. Parks, of
Yuba.
For State Controller-Josiah Howell, of Sacra-
mento.
. For Supreme Judge-John Curry, Of SoIauo.
For Surveyor r-GsnerAl-ChArles F. Reed, of
Yolo.
For Attorney C General, G. McCullogb, of
Mariposs county.
For State -Treasurer-Ramon Pasheco, of San
Luis 0bispo county.
For State Harbor Commissioner-Chas. Clay
ten, of San Francisco.
For Clerk Of Supreme COurt-R FarquhAr, Of
Nevada.
For State Printer-D. o. Mccarthy, Of San
Francisco.
For Superintendent Of Public Iustruction-
John SWEET, Of San Francisco.
OF the ticket thus made up, sig, including
Gorham, were originally Douglas democrats,
three Of the number supported Brsckinridgs,
aud three were straight republicans. From
this showing It would seem that converts are
honored in the republican camp.

CoLvILLE MAIL.-Postmaster Johnson inform
US that the late contractor refuses to carry the
mall at the figure heretofore allowed, and that
as q consequence the people of ColvilIe valley
aud the Big Bend country are denied all mail
facilities. 1t will be recollectsd that some
months since, the Department advertised for
proposals for carrying the Colville mail, but
whether any award was made, we are not in-
formed. The growing importance of the Colville
valley and the country beyond, renders it highly
necessary that this mail be kept up, and in this
connection, we suggest that Special Agent
Brooks make temporary arraugement for the
carrying Of the mail until such time as the De,
partmeut may act in the matter. The Colville
mail is convenience to hundreds of settlers
in whose interest we ask that measures NAV be
taken looking to its continuance.
