proposed to take up the several orders which
had been laid over during the trial.
The Chief Justice said they were In order.
| Edmunds offered a motion to let in the re-
porters, but before it was acted on it was laid
over.
Howard called for the reading of the 23d
rule.
Anthony moved that the rule be amended
to give Is minutes for speeches instead Of ten.
This was laid over, after which the Senate
took a recess of fifteen minutes and the gal
leries we're again thrown open.
Upon reassembling the Chief Justice said
the case would be considered closed on both
sides if neither had anything more to offer.
Hendricks moved the pending orders be
considered in open session.
Several Senators objected.
On motion of Edmunds the doors were
again closed for elaboration.

READ AND PoNDER.-The old form of
criminal indictment in Virgiri a ended
with the words, " to the displeasure of
Almighty God, and against the peace
and dignity of the Commonwealth" In
1851 a woman was indicted, tried and
sentenced TO two years Imprisonment
for teaching slave to read. The in
dic,ment read as follows
"And the said -, not having the fear of
God before her eyes, but moved and instiga-
ted thereto BY the devil, did teach to a certain
negro woman to read the Bible, to the great
displeasure of Almighty God" etc.
Such are the actions which are re-
garded as crimes under Democratic laws,
in Democratic States, and by all good
Democrats.

AN OPPOSITION STEAMSHIP LINE TO
CHINA.
from the San Francisco Times.]

from Tue Gan TIduClSCO 1lIueS.
The Commercial Herald states that the
great English steamship company. the Pc
ninsular and Oriental is building six first
c lass screw steamers in London, to be placed
on the route between this city and China and
Japan. There will soon be room for two
lines, and the competition between two such
companies as the Pacific Mail and the Pc
nihsular and Oriental cannot fail to be i'm
mensely beneficial to the interests Of San
Francisco. We think one of the results
of such competition would be TO convince
even the President of the Pacific Mail that,
for deep water and especially for long routes,
the screw is infinitely preferable to the pad
die. At least such has been the result on
the Atlantic, wherever the scew and paddle
have come into competition and we see no
reason why the same results should not fol-
low on the Pacific.
1t is also stated that the North American
Steamship Company intend to shortly fol-
low the example Of the Pacific Nail and
run four steamers a month each way, while
there is hope that the Nicaragua transit
will soon be reopened, and the Honduras
inter-oceanic railway is said to be a fixed
fact. With the completion of the Pacific
Railway, San Francisco must become one
Of the greatest steamship centers in the
world.

why such wa,ery bosh IS employed. 1t

OUR STREETS, &C.

Noticing a stream of water running
to waste down Carson street yesterday
i: occurred to US that it being every
body's business it was nobody's bust
ness to divert that flow of water into
the Plaza for the benefit of the young
cottonwoods growing there. But the
water running down tie street reminded
US that a surplus of that element last
Winter played sad havoc with some OF
our east and west running streets and
we Furthermore thought of the necessity
for their repair. Now We understand
th at the County Commissioners have
determined to 60 as far as the public
Mods will admit of their going toward
making such repairs; and with that
view, Mr.. Surveyor Chase has been TAX
ing observations and bearings with his
theodolte for the purpose of determn-
ing how the streets can best be graded.
But if the Commissioners make Carson
street passable by constructing bridges,
&C., &C., that is about all we can expect
Of them-their funds being limited.
The other streets ought to be made &C
cessible to wagons-many of them are
not so now-and if this is to be the
permanent city and permanent Capital
that we all hope for, the " rushing,
mighty waters" that scoop their way

Alta vsla.
Alta Vela is West India island be-
longing to he Government of St. Domingo.
1t contains valuable guano .deposites.-
There is an old law Of Congress promis.
ing the protection of the United States
Government to citizens of this country
who discover guano deposites that do not
belong to another government. When
JEREMIAH S. BLACK was Secretary of
State, in 1860. claims to the discovery of
this guano deposite were made by
two different parties, who also commenced
shipping guano from there. After seven
months these parties were elected by the
St. Domingo Government. They then
filed their claim against the United States
Government for 5000, which they claim
to have suffered damage by the failure of
the Government to protect them, under
the old act OF Congress referred to.
There the matter rested until few
months ago. when Black became counsel
for the guano claimants, worked the
amount of their claim up to two or three
millions, and insisted that the President
should send naval force to drive the St.
Domingo occupants from the island, put
viz SAssaAAAs"sS pVSSCSSiou, dNu SCc tucIT
claim paid from the public treasury.
7 There was ready answer to this. The
island had always belonged to st. Domin-
go-facts as old as the existence of that
government proved it, and the old law Of
Congress did not apply. Mr.. Blacks
clients were simply intruders in Alta Vela,
ard had nv rights there, nor to the mil
liens they claimed from the treasury. Be-
cause the President would not comply
with Blacks demand, the latter withdrew
as counsel from the impeachment case.-
This fact was alluded to and stated by
MIR. Nelson in his argument, who explain
ell the reason why the President had lost
the services of MIR. Black.
1t now appears that Butler, Logan and
Bingham, impeachment managers, have
made, since the impeachment has been
pending, a written statement, giving their
opinions that the Alta Vela claim is
valid one, and urging the views held by
Black. This scandalous state of affairs
The Presidents counsel and the managers
were mixed up in an enormous swindlc,
and they were urging the President to
consummate it while the impeachment
rial wasiactually pending. Ifhe had CON-
piled, how would it have affected the
trial ?-.H. Paul )aiiy Pioneer.

DOES lr PAY.-That is the question ask
ed BY mCst men now a-days, when they SUBJ
scribe for paper. Here is a case in point,
as related by the Dodgcville Chronicle:
A man called at our Office tho other day,
and in conversation about the advantages
of country paper, told US tho followin.
his case: He said, "l cannot read, and
newspaper is of no use to me personally,
but l have daughter who can read, and
often when 70 from home / try and get
her newspaper. Some time ago was at
the Western lIote! in this village, and just
as was starting home asked Mr. Roberts
for an old newspaper he gave me an old
number Of the Chronicle. When got
home l got my little girl to read it. She
read every line, advertisements and all.
Among other things, there was piece Of
land for sale which joined my farm.
had not known the fact before, so went
Immediately and bought it. The next day
other customers applied, but they were
toe late. The land cost $3.50; would
not now take $500 for it. concluded that
that one number of the Chronicle was
worth $50 to me. Please put me down
as life subscriber. for although cannot
read myself will never be without the
paper-here are $500 for the first
year."
This reminds US of the "rcrsonal expe-
rience' Of lsREAl SMITH, Esq.,, of Broad
head, whv informed Us some time ago, how
the two dollars he paid for the SENTINEL
saved him forty dollars. He had lost
valuable cow, worth forty dollars, which
had strayed into distant part of the coun-
ty, and he felt satisfied that he never would
have found her, had he not seen an adver-
tisement in the SENTINEL. 1t is "penny
