wuAr IT Is.-Contempt of court is a
term which has q Specification which is
not always apparent to the popular
mind. One who insults o court, or re-
fuses to do what rs proper and just,
when ordered, may be guilty of a con-
tempt Of court but there are other
contempts which are Of a technical ma
ture. Process for contempt is usual
one in chancery proceedings, and the
contempt in such cases is not so much
to the court as il is q denial Of justice
to the opposite party. Hence, process
for contempt of court may be in some
cases merely an execution against a per-
son who ha. refused to do what is just
and right, and the Incarceration may be
justi6able. In other cases, which come
under the popular idea ola contempt Of
court, the afiant to judicial authority
NAV be induced by circumstances
which, in the honest opinion Of party,
may induce him to believe that he is
vindicatiug his own rights against OPP
preston. The judge decides what is a
contempt in open court, and usually be
is the party a%ggrieved by tho act COM
planned Of. He also orders the arrest
and commitment Of tho offender, and the
latter is held without bail or mainprize,
and usually without a day fixed for the
expiration Of his imprisonment, the OBJ
iect being to compel him to purge him.
self of the contempt, or III other words,
be pardoned for bis conduct. Itmay be
doubted whether the Governor has a
right to pardon q person imprisoned for
contempt of court. While we believe
that the Judiciary Of the country is en-
titled to the respect Of every law-abiding
citizen who has business with 1t, courts
and their proceedings have sometimes
been held in most profound contempt.
We have observed such to be the case
many a time 10 Washoe and in Califor'

THAT incorrigible nuisance, known as
George Francis Train, with a facility
for getting into trouble that the whole
world must hold its breath to admire,
has managed to have himself arrested
again in hopes of turning out a full
Aedged martyr this time. 1t seems
some FIVE hundred people, who had paid
their money to hear him lecture, became
furious to have it returned, but, as it
does not appear to have been refunded,
it will be a great qualification to Mr..
Train, when he is again released, to sue
the British Government for tie means
to repay them, and oue hundred thous-
and dollars in addition a larry
damages.

SwsErwArRR.-A letter addressed to
Mr.. R. P. Williams, written by Jacob

writer 10 a minor, and reliable. Hs ar
rived at Sweetwater early in November,
1867. He says in substance that the
quartz in that country is good, first
class, and it will become a rich country,
No placer mines Of any Importance had
been discovered yet. A large number
of men are prospecting in Wind River
mountains, some reporting they had
found good prospects. He does not sd-
wise Mr.. W. to come to Sweetwster,
something he would certainly have done
had circumstances warranted Il. We

THE New York Herald suggests as au
appropriate sequel to the Impeachment,
proceedings that Mr.. johnson should
resign, thus avoiding the penalty Of dis.
qualification, and that the Democracy
should then, by nominating him as thell
Presidential candidate; give the people
an opportunity to vindicste this down.
trodden Executive at the coming cleo
ton. A serious obstacle to this pro-
ject, however, is found in the indisposi.
ton Of the Democratic party to enter
upon the .approachiug campaign with
such an unreliable and obnoxious stand
ard bearer. Ready as they are to sp-
plaud his treacheries, to approve his
policy, to greedily devour whatever
spoils the Senate, in unguarded mo-
ments, permits him to dole out to them,
not a single Democratic State .Conven-
.tiou has given one authoritative intina-
ton Of q desire for his nomination. In
his desperate struggle to secure . re-
election, he has initiated the folly Of the
dog in the fable, who, in grasping at q
shadow, lost the substance. The Democ-
racy are as ready 70 discard Johnson as
they were to ignore John Tyler in their
National Conventions. The feeling that
they have sins enough Of their owe to
answer for, without carrying the extra
burthen Of Johnson's f%ollies, misds-
meanors, and treachsries, is too preva-
lent to permit his nomination. As the
Herald, in its endless succession Of SEN
sational suggestions and predictions,
sometimes hits the truth, it is barely
possible that Johnson may resign. There
is a curious parallel, in many respects,
between his war with Congress and the
struggle between the British Parliament
and James H., which terminated in the
abdicGhoa or flight Of that %treacherous
and reactionary monarch. And 1t would
not be very surprising if Johnson ter
minated his official career in q n
similar to that adopted by his bad
prototype.

The following is the letter ofn Demo-

To the Honorable, the Speaker Of the Houss

nominee of the Democratic party. Since
I have been in tho Legislature Of Ken
lucky, and recently attended upon the
proceedings Of tho Democratic State
Convention, l have become convinced
that tho course observed and the priu-
ciples now advocated by the Democratic
party are at variance with a true system
Of Republican government, and tend to
the disorganization of. IA social and

Of my country ut heart, and cannot

cred my duty under the circumstances

deliberate conclusion 70 give my sup
port in tho future to that organization
which presents the nearest approach to
the principles Of cur Government. The
Republican party Of Kentucky seems to
me to do this, and to it shall honcs-
give my support.
It were improper and perhaps indeli-
cate that I should longer maintain my

having been elected to that body as the
nominee Of the Democratic party. I
therefore, while expressing my profound

RRHARKABLE CASE OF FEMALE
DEVELOPMENT.


In the western part of the city lives a
German family, consisting Of man and
wife, with six children, the eldest child
about eighteen, and the youngest a
daughter three years, lacking about four
months. The latter, until she was about
two years of age, was in every respect
like other children. At that time the
child was taken sick, and DR.. William
Stark, the family physician, was called
in. He found the case n very peculiar
IL, to which tho records Of medical
science as yet present no parallel. Az
that time a phenomena appeared in this
little girls life which is abnormal, the
usual time being more than half u score
Of years later. Since that change, phe-
nomena incident to q later time OF lie
appear with normal regularity, with .
corresponding physical development in
overy respect. The body has grown
moro rapidly than is usual for children
Of that age, and tho mind has developed
not quite proportionately, but much be.
yond her age. Really, tho child's age
is loss than three years; physically, IL
that OF m adult.
Her appearance is not that Of n dwarf.
She has a luxurisnt growth of beautiful
dark hair, which falls in ringlets on her
shoulders. Her eyes are dark, spark
ling, and have tho expression Of youth,
rather than that Of infancy. Her fea.
lures arc regular and finely moulded
Her complexion i~nclines to tho dark,
but the skin is extremely clear aud
transparent. The great weight Of her
body has bssn too much for the tender
limbs that have tho task Of supporting
IL, and have curved them. Any cone
seeing her on the street would not OBJ.
serve at first, besides the last peculiarly,
ANYTHING very different from tho appear.

II told her ago, she would scarcely be
regarded as o prodigy in size.
This child 10 remarkably intelligent,
Her health is perfect. She is fond Of
music talks German far better than
children four or fvo years older usually
do.
The Ease has attracted attention
among tho leading physicians Of the
city, one Of the most eminent OF whom
is preparing a report.on tho case. DR.,
STARK has written to Baron Won Langen.

gerry in the University Of Berlin, and
has received an answer from him, stat
ing that no similar case is on record,
He also proposes that she DO taken tc
Eprops for q study of the case BY thu
most eminent faculties in the great cap
itals.
Ono circumstance, which should have
been mentioned before, is that she had,
at the z of two years, n full sot o.
teeth, perfect and sound in all respects
the same as an adult.

about to exhibit q Roman virtue in the
disposition of a man whom it advanced

the party which has always valued men

try. Could anything teach that party
this lesson might teach it a virtue it
never recognized, and a lesson Of moral
honesty it never headed. That party
