SINGULAR CouNTRY.-A correspondent
writes of the country west of Laramie, on
the Pacific railroad, as follows:
From Fort Laramie to here the country
is very miserable and very curious. Here
and there patch of buffalo grass may be
seen, but rarely anything except sage brush
and cactus. The ground seems incapable
of producing anything else.
The banks of all the small streams glis-
ten with white where the alkali has evapo-
rated. Almost all the small streams here
are impregnated with this alkai. 1t rem
ders the water almost useless for all prac-
teal purposes, but it produces some very
queer effects, as the workmen on the road and
visitors can testify. If one drinks much Of
it the same effect is produced as if a dose
of salts is taken. This greatly disguised
the workmen when they were forced to
drink it.
Nor can this water be used in the engines
with any effect; the steam it makes has no
power. The water expends in froth and
suds, and il eats and corrodes the boiler.
This has been great source Of annoyance,
and is one of the worst obstacles the road
has to overcome. Another popularity of
this water is the effect it produces on the
skin of those who wash in it; it roughens
the skin of the hand just as q. cold wind
chaps it in winter. 1t also peels the skin
from the face; SO that person who uses
this water has q new face every seven days.
This is especially the case where soap is
used for washing. The graders west Of

"upon any other than these tthe constitu-
tional qualifications, it takes upon itself
the power of the whole Legislature.
1t does more, we should say it assumes q
power which "the whole Legislature can
not rightfully exercise. Yet its judgment
is final. and cannot be reviewed by any
court. This is exactly what few months
since the House did in the case OF Mr..
Rpowx. and the Senate did in the case ot
Mr. THOMAS, of Maryland, both of whom
wore excluded although possessing all the
qualifications required by the Constitu-
ton.
If "the highest judicial authority "
should decide that the body electing a
senator is IN unlawful body" that would
be case entirely different from the one
we were discussing. But such case will
never come up in such court upon writ
of QUO ,parranto against the senator him
self. That was the only point we made.
But even such decision would not vacate
the seat Of the senator. The Senate would
still have to act before the unlawfully-
elected senator could be upseated.

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch
Letter from Cobb's Island.

CoBB's ISLAND, August 10, 1868.
The Improvement in the comforts and
attraction of this popular seaside resort has
rendered an addition to the former means OF
Getting here necessary, and hence, besides
one line of steamers, as during last season,
running from Norfolk uia Cherrystone,
there is now direct line running from
Baltimore. Each line does thriving busl-
ness. and the island is now thronged with
one of the most pleasant and congenlal
companies ever met with. The character
istic feature Of Cobb's Island is the almost
endless variety of its amusements. al
sorts of disease cannot be cured, certainly
all manner of healthy taste can be grained.
Fastidous must be the palate whose yearn-
inrs are not satisfied here. The surf this
season is as delightful as ever, and In 1t
there is no possibility of the distressing
accident that SO often occurs at Cape May
and Atlantic City. The birds and fish are
as deliciously fat, abundant, and varied as
usual, and those who are fond of hunting
and fishing enjoy rare sport. The sail
boats have been increased and renewed,
and a bound over the pillows is refreshing
beyond description to one whose feet have
been blistcred by the pavements OF city.
The music is excellent, and the dance ls
graced with large share of southern
beauty and gallantry.
Where nature has lavished so much, q
poor cook could scarcely serve up q poor
meal, but with old Shadrach," as he is
familiarly called, at the head of the kitchen,
the table is a model of varied dclicacy
which few localities can equal. ! have
enough sympathy for the palates of your
inland readers not to subject them to the
fate of Tantalus by mentioning the bill of
fare. If the Messrs. Cobb carry out their
projected plan of improvement Virginia
will very soon have what she has ample
material for and has long needed-a first
class bathing place.
Among the distinguished southern visi-
tors who arrive here none is more heartily
greeted or wears better on acquaintance
than the Dispatch. General Ewell is at
present with us. q.

A TOURNAMENTS Steubenuile Ohio, Au-
Gust 4.-On Saturday we had tournament
BY the " Knights of the White Cross lot
of colored gentlemen from Pittsburg, who
came down to show US how they did those
things in cold Virginny" in the palmy
days, when chivalry consisted in cursing
the Yankees and fitting at a harmless ring
amid the plaudits of admiring thousands.
The whole performance was success, and
the belted knight, he Of Steubenville, who
carried off the prize, crowned the queen of
love and beauty. The rain was some slight
drawback, but the knights fearlessly ex-
posed themselves to it, and did their deyoir
right gallantly, Notwithstanding the incle-
menoy of the weather. The whole affair
showed that, with fair chance, the
despised African would soon step upon the
heels of the master races ; but, o chivalry,
how hast thou fallen when o "nigger !"
steps within the heretofore sacred precincts.
1t is enough to make all the blood Of all the
f. F. V.'s boil with Indignation to thus see
the barriers between them and the vulgar
world one by one thrown down. 1t was
terrible that niger" should be free !; il
was and is uncomfortable that "nigger !"
should vote but what words will fully con-
yey their feelings at niger" as Knight
of the Lily of the Valley, Slashed with gold
lace, belted and spurred, with chickens

here where the alkali in the water is much
stronger, say that when soap is wanted for
washing clothes, etc., they put some grease
in the alkaii water, stir it up with stick,
and there is soap.
Naturally it costs but very little, ana
when freights are reduced on the roads II ls
proposed to supply the whole United states
with cheap and good soap. Unfortunately,
there is no demand for that article among

The ScaIaWag Senators-The Writ of
Quo WarrantO.
For the Dispatch

For the Dispatch.
Gentlemen, In answer to the suggestion
of the Baltimore Gazette that the scalawag
senators may be gotten rid of by means OF
quo 1rayranto, you say, ooh, no; the Con-
sttuton, III express terms, gives to the SEN
ate the sole power to judge of the election
and qualifications of its own members:
The Constitution provides the quallnca-
tons in question in express terms. Inc
senator must be thirty years OLD ne
must have been nine years citizen OF 'ne
United States and he must be, when eject
ed, resident of the State for when ne IN
chosen. These are the only qualifications
upon which the Senate has right 10 pass.
If it pass upon any other than these, II taxes
upon itself the power OF the whole Leglsla-
ture in other words, it establishes new
qualification. and the establishment OF
new oualifcation is an amendment OF the
Const;tntion. which can only be made by
two-thirds Of each body backed by three
tonr,hs of the States. The case of these
scolowars does not come within the juris-
a;ct;nn of the Senate in their capacity OF
tr;nrs If qualifications. If it be decided by
the highest judicial authority that the body
olect;ng the senator is an unlawful body,
the mere fact that he is thirty years old,
has been citizen nine years, and lives III
the State (Which is all that the Senate has
a right to decide on), does not affect the
question at all. Recollect, speak only OF
what Senate may laaptatHy do. What such
Senate as this may do, do not pretend to
say. But most certainly it does appear to
me that any law carried by the vote Of any
senator or senators deriving their senatorial
existence, from legislature declared by the
Supreme Court to be illegally constituted, is
null and void Q6 initi0. +,
Our correspondent mistakes the question.
No court would grant writ OF quo aoar-
ranto as against a person whom the Senate
had admitted to o seat in that body. The
Judge, if applied to for one, would refuse
to grant it on the ground of the want of
jurisdiction, because the Constitution de-
clares that each House shall be the Judge
Of the elections, returns, and qualifications
of its own members" There is no appeal.
If, for instance, JOHN SMITH be duly elected
and constitutionally qualified, and JOHN
JONES contest his election, and, in violation
Of the plainest principles of justice, Con-
gress admit the latter and exclude the form
er, there is nevertheless no remedy for the
wrong. The constitutional provision upon
the subject is so plain that no man has ever
attempted to take such case into court,
though there have been numbers Of such,
as, for example, that of General MORGAN Of
Ohio, who was elected to the present Con-
gress by q large majority, yet was excluded,
and his seat given to Mr.. DELANo; and that
of Mr.. Brown of Kentucky, who was duly
elected and constitutionally qualified, yet
was excluded from the House because Of
extra-coustitutional disqualifcations.
