If our expectations are realized,
and we are confident they will be,
then, in the year 1870, there will be
three additional Pacific States in the
Union-making, in ALL six States west
Of the Rocky Mountains.
The three Pacific States now in the
Union and the three Territories beS
fore named are unequaled in mineral
wealth and producti7eness Of soil.
The cultivation Of the vine-4-the
manufacture Of wine--the wool and
silk Interestingly all be said to be
in their infancy. These, added to the
mining, agricultural and commercial
interests, now in a fourishipg con-
dition, will, in comparatively few
years, so increase wealth and popuIa-
tion in the Pacific States and Territor
ries as to entitle them to rank favor-
ably even with the most prosperous
Of the older States Of the Union.
Then, again, is it not true that the
Pacific country up to date has been
neglected. Is it not true that we
have never been accorded q voice in
the Cabinet of the nation, and 50 far
as voice in the Cabinet Of the nation
is concerned, it cannot be truthfully
alleged that the people Of California
have in thatrespect been Indifferent to
their interests. 1t is well known
that at the commencement of the
terms of office Of Presidents Buoha-
man and Lincolon persistent efforts
were made to secure a voice for the
Pacific coast in the national Cabinet,
and the last legislature, it will be re-
membered, passed a joint resolution
requesting President johnson to give
Hon, 3. Billings a place in his Cabi-
net, We, therefore, maintain that
the Pacific States have claims for the
Presidency which we regard as de-
serving of special consideration. So
maintaining, we call upon the De-
mocracy Of California, Oregon and
Nevada to rally unitedly in support of
Governor Haight as the candidate Of
the people Of the Pacific country and
their first choice for the Presidency.
Whilst resolved to recommend and
insist upon the nomination of Gov
ernor Haight, it is proper here to say
that his friends will yield cordial
support to the nominee of the Demo
cratic National Convention, be who
he may.

A LITERAL MAN.-Hon. James
II. Knowlton, one Of our most promc
inent Western advocates, met with
the following perplexing adventure in
his early practice in Wisconsin:
A stranger came into his Office and
abruptly informed him that his wife
had deserted him, and wished to have
her replegied at once, Knowlton told
MIN thatremedy would not meet his
case exactly, and went on to inform
him that if he would wait until the
desertion had continued a year, he
could obtain divorce. The stranger
said he did not know as he wanted .
divorce. What he most feared was
that his wife would run him IN debt
all over the country.
'In that case, = said Knowlton, 'you
had better post her.
What his client understood him tt
mean by posting remains a mystery
to this day. He said, in q medita.
tive way, that he didn't know wher,
she had gone, and besides that sht
was as fully as strong as he was, ant
he didn't believe he could post her
even if he knew where to find her.
Knowlton hastened to inform hin
I - L aa
that by posting his wife he mean
putting a notice il d newspaper, say
ing. Whereas, my wife Ellen haI
left my bed and board without an,

"But that amt true, interrupted
the client, nthat amt true. She didnl
leave my bed. She took it ava

THE CONFESSION.

THE CONFESSION.
She states that on the night upon
,sh;oh - !.; the homicide was committed
she had retired to her bed, whiie he ..,e
deceased was lying on his plank be-
fore the FIRE, Between midnight and
day the deceased aroused her by ap-
preaching her bed and demanding to
share it with her. She denied him
the privilege, and he insisted with
violent language, aud finally ordered
her to get up and leave the premises,
or he would pitch her and her furni-
ture into the road that deceased re-
tired to his bench or plank before the
fire, aud the prisoner fell into doze,
supposing that the deceased had
abandoned his intended violence to
her, when she was again aroused by
his seizipg a table belonging to her
and dragging it toward the door,
which he had thrown open, as though
to throw it out, and then sat down on
his plank looking toward the fire.
She arose from bed very angry, seized
a pestle made by deceased for beating
apples in cider-making, crept up be-
hind him, without his seeing her, and
struck him heavy blow on the head
which knocked him senselsss.
She then struck him a second time
while he was lying PROSTATE, Thus
seeing he was worse hurt than she in
tended, she struck no more. At this
stage Of the tragedy her daughters
woke up, and the three took the body
across the road and laid it down. The
deceased was then alive as indicated
by his groans. She bade her daugh- :
tiers 90 back to the house, dug hole
herself, and placed the body in it
alive. Having covered IT with dirt,
she placed shayings on top to conceal
the place of burial. After placins
the shavings on the newly made grave
she heard the most unearthly groans
proceeding from the buried man.
Conscience stricken, she turred and
fed from the scene Of her horrible
crime.
She seemed, however, to be drawn
to the spot by some terrible fascina
ton, and some time afterward diseov-
cred, in one of her visits past the
grave, that the hogs had rooted up
part Of the skeleton, which she care
fully reintered. Again she discover,
ed that dog had scratched up the
skull and carried it into an adjoining
field. This she took with her, and
making circuit around the field,
buried it under cedar tree.

A New question.

There is question in respect to im-
peachment which we have not seen
discussed. Its this: Will the re-
moval of Mr.. johnson from the Office
of President-of which he is only the
accidental incumbent-extinguish his
title to the Office of Vice. President,
to which he was elected by the peo-
ple2 He is impeached as President,
charged with acts committed as Presi-
dent, and represented in the articles
as no longer fit to hold the Presi-
dental office; does it follow, there,
fore, that he is unfit to hold the Vices
presidential office, and if it does, is it
not essential to his removal from the
latter, that he should be specially
charged, in order that there may be
the proper judgment of unftness
pronounced?
1t is very certain that, if a man is
the holder Of two distinct officers, d
removal under impeachment for mis-
conduct in one, will not affect his title
to exercise and enjoy the other. The
tranSference of the elected Vice
President to the acting Presidency
does not nnmake him Vice PRESS
dent; nor, as it would appear, will
any Judgment against him as Presi-
dent have the effect to invalidate his
claim to the Office to which he was
elected, when relieved from the duties
Of that to which he has casually ao-
ceded. ti uaa La5 q sga.
Judgment under impeachment may
extend to disqualification to hold
Office; but the provision to this effect,
if it includes elective Offices at all
which is matter of doubt-does not,
in itself, constitute a removal from
those Offices to which the right of the
party, otherwise perfect, antedates the
impeachment, and is not contemplated
by It. The Vice Presidency is legis-
latiye Office, the Presidency an exeou.
tive one. IL Mr.. johnson should
resign-as as he has a perfect right to
do--the Executive power to-day,
could the Senate eonstitutionally es-
cape accepting him as its President
to-morrow5 And would the case be
in any way different if the Court Of
Impeachment should relieve him Of
his executive duties, and save him the
trouble Of sending in his resignation ?
Mr.. johnson certainly can not be
removed from the Vice Presidency for
acts which he committed in the
Presidency, any more than he can be
| removed from the Presidency for acts
which be committed in the Vice
Presidency or any more than he be
removed from either for acts commit
ted as a private citizen or before his
election to his present office. So much
appears certain. Whatever his rights
may be in the present state Of the
case, will not, perhaps, make mach
difference still the question is one to

knot Was tied, and the bride duly ins

and finally the night wore away, and
yet the absent one came not, The

and sought the missing one in every
direction, but without success. Think

thither but they, too, were in ignoS

EXECUTION OF A WOMAN.
She Is Wildly Erected Horrible Contession--
Man Buried Aliue.

On Friday last Lucy Parnell, ne.
gress, was executed at Snow Hill,
Maryland, for the murder Of Hanson
Robbins.
The scaffold was erected ii an open
field. The prisoner shook hands with
all those admitted to the scaffoId.
She expressed herself as loving every
body, aud, having made her peace
with God, was ready and anxious to
60 home to Him, While the clergy
man was addressing the crowd in her
behalf her eyes lit up with wild,
unearthly excitement and she was
rocking herself back and forth, clap
ping her hands and working her lips
So soon as she was done, she burst
forth in the following manner! ''Yes,
| have got the grace Of God in. my
soul. / don't fear to die. l am
goingto my God. / am going home
TO glory. I am going to a house not
made with hands. ] shall live for-
ever, | have just found out how to
live, I'm going home. There is no
mistake about it,
After conversing with several friends
she exclaimed, "I am going to live
with God forever Tam going home
to live with God. lam only going to
die little spiitaal death here"
Then, with great fervor Turn,
sinners, turn. | have turned. / die
now one time, and never no more. /
am just going to church" As the
visitors left the scaffold she COM
menced shouting, exclaiming all the
time, over and over, that she was
"ready to 60" that she was going
to God, etO. Then sitting down, she
said. This is good old Friday, my
best day, ! prayed God last night
that it should not rain or snow, and
He has answered my prayer. / am
going home to glory. Don't shed a
tear over my grave. Farewell to this
sieful world. I'm turned from sin to
grace. This death won't be any
more than horse-hy bite" She died
with but little apparent suffering.
Before the body was placed in the
coffin, the crowd became highly ex-
cited, and, in defiance Of the guards,
rushed over the barriers up to the
body, 1t was finally carried off the
grounds,
