PERsoYAL.-During the week we have had
quite a number OF distinguished visitors, a:trac-
ted here by the Fair, or having business before
the Court. Among them we notice S. D. Howe,
Assessor of Internal Revenue. Mr.. H. is accom-
panied by his lady. John W. Brazee, Chief Err
gneer of the o. S. N. Company, is here to look
at the Fair, but will embrace the opportunity to
look over the line of the proposed railroad. Hon.
Leander Holmes put in an appearance early in
the week and is attending on the District Court.
Marshal Huntingdon is here, and having with
him the greenbacks to pay off witnesses, jurors,
&c, has been warmly welcomed. Last of all is
our old friend Butler and lady, of Olympia, who
have been visiting the State Fair at Salem, and
now come here to witness what Walla Walla
Valley can furnish in the line Of fne stock, big
squasbes, pumpkins, potatoes, &c. We trust that
the "grasshoppers" will treat kindly these rep
resentatives from the land of "clams."

The old charge was twenty five cents on all

now to perfect the law is to make provision for
orders payable in coin. In the Atlantic States
this may not be necessary, but on the Pacific

Robert ]. Walker on the Law.

opinion of the Hon. Robert ] Walker
upon the Presidents right to decide
upon the constitutionalty of laws
passed by Congress. Mr.. Walker is
a Democrat, and stands high in the
confidence Of the President. He is
learned in the law, and thus disposes
of the sophistries Of the Democracy

General Thomas early on Saturday
morning, at the War Office, and com
municated to him in a friendly way
that any such order would be a multi

consequences, especially if any such
collision should occur. | told him
that he had no right, nor had the
President, to disobey a law Of Con.
gress upon the assumption that it was
unconstitutional, and that if this were
not so the President might set aside
all the laws of Congress since the
foundation of the Government. on
the ground that they were unconsti-
tutional. That the President pos
sessed no such power, because it was
not an executive, but ercl,1sire1y IT,

Congress must be o5cyed and executed By
the President, unless their execution
was restrained by the highest judicial
authority. That to declare a Ia10 an

Of judicial power, bit the highest judicial

TELEGRAPH--The necessity for a
telegraph line from this city to War
rem Or some other point in Geographic
communication with the East, is be-
coming mors and more apparent every
day. In no way could the small
smount required to put Us in tel
egraphic communication with the
world At large be more prodtably in
vested Is a convenience to the
people il can hardly be over estima-
ted. There IS not another place in the
United States the size Of Mineral
Point that has a railroad that has
not also a telegraph Office. Humid
reds of persons among Us who now
think a telegraph would be OF little
use 70 the community, would hna
abundant reason forits use If once cen
structed That it would be source
Of profit 20 those who might invest
IL its construction there can not be a
question This fact was fully demon
strated by the line IN operation here
Several years ago. when its necessity
was not g much felt as at present.
The few hundred dollars expended
IN putting up telegraph line TO
Warren would very soon be returned
by those who would have use for it.
Our citizens are generally disposed to
invest money in enterprises that
promise liberal returns, and as there
is none that would more surely benefit
individuals aud the community at
large than a telegraph, we urge upon
our citizens immediate steps for tel
egraph line to Warren, TO connect
there with every part of the Union.

THE IMPEACHMENT.

The court for the impeachment of
t,the President is now fully organized,
and the president cited to appear on
Friday next. IN the organization of
the Senate, as court Of impeachment,
quite a spirited debate sprung up as to
the propriety Of Senator WADE being
permitted to act as member of the
court, he being the person who would
be required to fill the Presidential
Chair, in case of the removal of Mr..
JOHNSON. The objections ere, how
ever, withdrawn, and the oath admin
istered to Mr.. WADE, in connection
with the other members Of the Senate.
by Chief Justice Chase, who had al
ready been sworn in as the presiding
officer during the trial The friends
of Mr.. JOHNSON are trying to get a
delay of twenty days for preparation
for the trial. The Senate will not be
likely to grant that length of time,
though few days may be allowed
him. Delay being the object of the
Presidents friends, the Senate will
probably consent only to grant reason.
I able time for preparation for the trial
1t is expected that the Presidents
Counsel intend to challenge various
Senators for instance, WADE, on the
ground of interest, and SUMNER,
CHANDLER and others on the ground
of having expressed opinions. Next,
that the President has a right to have
full court present, and that twenty
members (from the rebel States) are
absent. Failing on these points, the
next move Will be for long continu-
ance. If this be refused, and only a
moderate length Of time granted, it is
stated by some in the confidence of
the President, that he viii probably
tender his resignation, to avoid the
disabilities following from impeach.

THE JUDGESHIP.

Strenuous efforts are being made

nature calculated to benefit them po-
itically, which they expect to obtain,

His social qualities are used as COW

those who would deceive Republicans
into his support.
Judge DIXON, who is the candidate
in opposition to Judge Dunn, IS no
less entitled to respect for his social
qualities. As Judge, he has secured
the respect and esteem Of the entire
Bar Of the State, irrespective Of polit-
zeal bias, on account of his honesty Of

the bench. In the knowledge OF the
law he has very few superiors. As
