came to pass that the Senate of the United
States was the Government. Now, since
General Grant has assumed the reins, there
appears to be 70 settled idea as to whether
there is any Government at all, or, if there
is one, none can tell whether its powers are
vested in Congress, or the people. All idea
of a government administered according to

SEwARD's OPINIoN.-A New York paper
of recent date gives the following: Mr..
Seward doesn't think much of General Grants
Administration, and we dare say Grants Adj
ninistration doesn't think much of him. He
regards the present President and Cabinet
as the weakest the country has ever had, and
he anticipates that political thunderstorm
will soon disrupt the whole concern-the
Cabinet, not the country-and then there
will be chance for the appreciation of some
great men who have latterly not been held
in the esteem their wisdom has merited.

PARTISAN CLAP.TRAP 1t is frequently
asserted, says the Call, that the outcry made
as to the probabilities of Chinese suffrage in
the United States is mere partisan clap-trap.'
The same parties said the same thing four
years ago about those who asserted the prob
abilities of negro suffrage ; yet negro suffrage
is now 6xed fact in one-half of the States
of the Union, ard the influences and inter-
ests which established negro suffrage are now
energetically at work in favor of measures
the logical result of which, if successful, will
be the establishment Of Chinese suffrage.

HORRIBLE MURDER.-Mr. Henderson, agent iof
Wells, Fargo l. Co., furnishes us the particulars
of a horrible murder at Lewiston, on the 4th of
July. The difficulty originated as follows: The
murdered man named Tom Duffey, had squaw
wife by whom be had daughter who is now
young woman. A neighbor named Woods, q
stable keeper, was intimate with Dufey's fami-
ly, and had made improper overtures to his
daughter. A quarrel followed, and Duffey hap,
pening to meet Woods on the morning of the
4th, high words passed between them. They
were then separated, but meeting again later in
the day when Duffey was under the influence of
liquor, the quarrel was renewed, and blows
having passed Woods drew a knife and cut
DuFey across the face. The latter then started
to run, but was followed and literally cut all to
pieces. The wounded man survived his injuries

THE Issues IN TENNEssEE.-Our readers
have already been made aware. says the Sac
ramento Reporter, that there are two oppos-
ing republican candidates for Governor in
Tennessee-Colonel Stokes and Senter, the
present Governor, who seeks re election
The only issue between them appears to be
that of enfrauchisement. Senter openly de-
clares in favor of eDfranchisiug every tax
paying citizen, while Stokes favors it only
after a two-thirds vote of the Legislature,
and when it can be done safely Senter's
policy would admit a great many rebels to
the ballot without apprehension of danger,
and it has the sanction of Brownlow and all
his friends in Tennessee
, 1869-07-09

Too Hor FOR HIM-The Nashville Tenn
Union states that Parson Brownlow is dis
gusted with Washington and wants to give
up his place in the Senate to Horace May
nsrd, 10 order to be, made Governor of Ten'
nessec again. Upon this the N. Y. Herald
remarks that the idea that Washington is
too hot place for the Pa-son is pretty good
evidence that birthstone and faggots will
have to be piled up in extra quantities in
the other place in order to make it at all
comfortable for him when be gets there.

AN ELEPHANT.-An old friend writing
from the Atlantic States, says that the radi-
Gals in electing Grant made the mistake the
man did when he won the elephant 10 a raf-
as-they don't know what to do with him.
Destitute of every thing like craftsmanship,
he is self>conceited in the last degree, and 10
his own opi=ion competent to deal with the
nicest questions of law or diplomacy. The
result is, he is continually blunderirg and
making mistakes that require all the iuge<
nuity of his Cabinet to set right. His per.
sonal demeanor, also, is not calculated to
inspire respect. Open to the reception of
presents at all times, from fast horse down
to box of cigars, it has come to be regard
ed that the making Of gifts to the President
is the surest passport to 40 appointment to
Office. Long lists Of names Of parties who
have made donations to the President are
published, and 10 nearly every instance it is
shown that those who have thus " invested"
have been the recipients of OficeAthe value
of which corresponds with nice exsctness TO
the mOue5 value of their gifts to the Presi>
dent. The history Of no former Admins
trAtiOu exhibits such uublushing corruption,
aud as a result even honest radicals are dis,
gusted with the prize they won 10 the last
Presidential rattle. The effect Of ell this ia
to demoralize the radical party, and leave it
q hopeless wreck sure to 60 down iu the first
political storm that sweeps over tie laid.

THE democrats of San Francisco have So-
ted by large majority not to hold primary
meetings for the purpose of electing dele
gates to county nominating conventions. A
central committee, composed of two delegates
from each Ward was elected, and the body
thus made up is authorized to select dele
gates to the nominating conventions. 1t is
claimed that this plan will obviate much Of
the corruption that attended the old system.

CRAWFORD is A HUMBUG.-Th Laport

tica+jigger. They are like chap 10 Grass

Crawford knew about elections in this part

-c.trrrhNIA MAILS. = Some changes
.bould be made in the transmission of the
california mails whereby they may be
hroucbt through at a reasonable rate of
,peed To give an idea, the latest sacra-
meuto Union received at this office is dated
InSe 26th. whilst we have New York pa
ners 10 the 1st of July. If the California
papers would keep up their circulation in
the Northern country, they must devise
some means to expedite the coast mails. As
it is now they are away behind time, aud
their readers no longer depend upon them
for the news. If they would change their
arrangements SO as to have the mail bags
sent through by way of WiAnemuca, they
would affect saving of at least one<half the
time required by the Portland route. In
this regard there seems TO be wOeful igno"
rance on the part of Californians in regard
to the geography of the Northern country.
Fol- instance, Wells. Fargo & Co., in making
Up their letter mail for Lewiston, I. T., send
it by way of the railroad, and the result is
our neighbors get their correspondence four
or five days in advance of their Walla Walla
friends. This mail passes directly through
WaIla Walla, and yet it never occurs to the
San Francisco agent of Wells, Fargo & Co..
that the most direct route to Lewiston is also
the most direct route to Walla Walla. What
is required, is to have all mail matter made
up in California, intended for the country east
of the Cascade range, sent by way of Win
nemuca. If this is done, we shall receive
our California exchanges iu advance of the
Eastern papers, as should be the case. As
it is now, we can dispatch business letter
to New York and receive an answer, in less
time than it requires to communicate with
San Francisco. There is no reason why thi.
state of affairs should continue, aud we sug
gest to our California friends that q due re.
gard to their own interests requires thai
they should to take means to have the mail.
and express matter intended for this section
of country, dispatched by the most direc
route.

SCURRILLoUs ATTACK. - Our citizens

attack upon Judge Wyche, which appeared
in the last issue Of the Union. 1t is due TO
the editor of the paper to say that be was not

Had the Judge remained here, we should not

author of this article is a man who for years

ion, which insureS fair consideration of AL

armed, with an ordinary merchantman's
crew on board, aud @e are justly held to
have Incurred high degree of responsibility
for the consequences. The departure OF a
