O. The existing telegraph monopolics have
never sought TO supply adequately the de-
mand for the use of the telegraph, much
less have they attempted to stimulate such

have remained about constant their raies

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT.-This
Court, Judge A. W. Baldwin presiding, will
be in session at the Medin Building to-day
-Yesterday's Enterprise
We should like to have it explained
to u by what right Judge Baldwin
assumes to disregard a law Of Congress
and thus persist in holding his Court
in Virginia City. The law explicitly
specifies Carson City as the place of
holding the said Court yet Judge
Baldwin takes it upon himself to hold
the terms thereof when and where he
pleases and being a resident of Vir-
ginia City he pleases to hold them there.
If the chief officer Of court may be
allowed to disregard the express pro
visions Of tho law under which he is
acting who may we expect to respect
any requirements of that enactment
The plea of convenience has no
merits in the matter. 1t would no doub,
be more convenient for all lawyers and
litiganls if the courts we're moved about
from Office to Office and from parlor to
parlor just as attorneys and clients
might desire but that accommodate
ing arrangement is not very likely to
become Of general custom unless Judge
Baldwin elects to enlarge his self as
sumed license, and his action becomes
a precedent. The Judge of the Nevada
District Court has a right to live where
be pieases within his District, in Pah-
or Death Valley, if be SO chooses;
and he has just as much right to hold
his Court in either Of those places, or in
both of them as he has to hold it in |
no mere.

TIE DENoCRArIC PLATFORM is already
accepted, We see, in Louisiana, by the
supporters of Seymour and Blair as OF
more validity, virtue, force and effect
than any and all the Reconstruction
Acts of Congress. They proceed to
demonstrate the revolutionary" char
acter of those acts by numbering men,
women and children and in inaugural
ing reign of anarchy and terror in
the interior of that State. The guer-
rilla warfare which the rebels promise
should follow the defeat of their armie.
has already begun, fostered and en-
couraged by the author of "My Policy"
and precipitated by the recent edic,s of
the Copperhead Democracy. The threat
ening dangers of the times As evinced
by the temper of the Southern rebels
adds to the many causes of regret that
Andrew johnson was not promptly con-
victed by the Court Of Impeachment
and deposed from the Office which be
dsgraces and which enables him to
plant the power of the Executive Office
between the perpetrators of these fiend-
ish outrages and the summary punish
ment that they deserve.

WASHINGTON, August 7.-Governor War
mouths official requisition for force to Sc
cure order in Louisiana was presented to
the President yesterday BY Colonel Deane of
the Governors staff. Governor Yarmouth
presented various letters from citizens and
officers setting forth that terrible outrases
are daily being perpetrated in different por-
tons of the State. He says that in many
parishes there exists no protection for citi-
zens in the Courts that men are shot down
in roads and at their homes without any
steps being taken to bring the offenders to
justice. The Judge of the Twelfth Judicial
District refused to go to the parish Of Frank
lin without force is sent to protect him. The
Sheriff of another parish, Democrat, has
resigned, confessing his inability to make
arrests. Prominent Union men in the
parish write that their homes are beset by
desperadoes, and that their lives have thus
far been saved bv the arrival OF men who
volunteered to guard them.
Hodspth, District Attorney of the Eighth
Distr let, whose letter is inclosed, says men,

The Governor has no doubt that one hun
dred and fifty men have been murdered in |
Louisiana during the last month and half. |
1t seems to be the settled determination
Of the rebels to either kill or drive away
Union white and the leading colored men,
so as to be able to terrify the masses Of the
,oioreG people into voting as they shall dis
tate.
In conclusion, the Governor says he be-
eves that bloody revolution is meditated,
and he asks for two regiments of cavalry, a
'egiment of infantry and battery of artil-
cry to suppress violence, arrest the Grimm
ais and protect the officers. He believes tina,
| few examples of condign punishment would
secure peace in the State SO soon as the po-
itical campaign is over.

HOW HARRISON WAS NOMINATED

The Msrysville Appeal Of the 9Th inst
recapitulates the action of the Congress
sional Convention lately beid in Sacra-
mento, and furnishes the following
summary of the events which charac-
terized the proceedings which resulted
in Chancellor Harrison $ nomination over
Westmoreland:
Plumas had candidate, if Butte did not
Some believe that the Hon John Bidwell was
anxiously expecting the prize to fall into his
hand by the inability of the Convention to
nominate either Harrison or Westmoreland
Mr.. Gear and his Plumas, Lassen and Sierra
delegates, was also perfectly willing the NOM
! ination should catch him. While these side
influences all worked against Mr.. Westmore-
land, they aided his opponent and encour-
aged his friends to stand firm. 1t was hoped,
however, by the friends of Mr. Westmoreland
that the Butte and Siskiyou delegations would
scatter sufficiently to prevent Hartson's
choice on the first ballot. If this could be
accomplished it was believed that Hartson's
friends would become demoralized, and that
either Westmoreland, Goodwin, Gear, Bid
well or some one else could be nominated.
But all the hopes and expectations of the
ballot resulting in favor of Mr.. Harrison, ard
BY the exact vote necessary. One vote less
would undoubtedly have been fatal to the
nomination of 1.-THE gentleman from Napa."
Immediately after the result was announced,
a deathlv silence prevailed for second. But
when "the shock" was over, several members
rose to move that the nomination be made
unanimous. The minority gained its breath
after a few moments, and the business of the
Convention was concluded in short time.
This shows that hard, relentless
pressure was exerted against the candi-
date whom we consider the ablest man
that has been named in connection with
the Congressional nomination in Cali
fornia for many years-Charley West
morelasd. He has quite as much right
10 rear back on Ills dignity and give
to Fay movement as ever
3idwell and his friends had. But he is
90 true man, too thorough a patrio,

ontra be was too strong and we'll known

outburst" in his own favor) i
