The Marysville Appeal says that if the
hypothesis is correct that the State is hol-
den for county debts, then the Federal
Government is holden for the debts of the
States-including, perhaps, the rebel
States debts.-Sacramento Record.
That is about as much sense as some
people are endowed with. The Appeal
editor must sadly lack discrimination if he
cannot distinguish difference between the
relations of counties to State, and those of
a State to the General Government. A
State can contract indebtedness by its own
act; a county cannot incur liability,
however insignificant, except authorized
so to do by Legislative enactment. One is
asovereign, controlling, in great measure,
its own action the other possesses no au.
thorty whatever, Independent of State
legislation. We contend that the Federal
Government is responsible for the debts OF
State contracted under law of Congress
provided the State becomes bapkrupt
The General Government has already as
sumed portion Of the Indebtedness incur.
red by the several States by reason of the
rebellion. We contend that the doctrine
that the power which authorizes the con
tracing indebtedness must make provision
for its payment, is incontrovertible. Cal
averas Chronicle.

TERRIBLE AccIDENT-A terrible rail
way accident occurred on the 14th inst !,
between eight and nine o'clock, by col
lision of trains on the Western Pacific
Railway, about five and half miles from
Oakland, by which some sixteen persons,
including A. W. Baldwin, United States
District Judge of the State of Nevada,
were killed and twenty wounded One ac-
count attributes the blame of the accident
to the gross negligence of the switchman
at Simpsons station, where the train bound
east should have waited on that coming
west, and would have done so but for the
switchman's assurance that the westward
bound train had already passed. On this
assurance, the report alleges, the eastern
bound tain went on its way, and a mile and
half from Simpsons met and colided
with fhe train coming down, while both
were under full .headway.

We accept the Calaveras Chronicles S
apology for its neglect to give the usual
attention to our reply to its article on county
Indebtedness. The afliction which has
overtaken its editor (inarriage) is ample
apology for anything in the way of either
omission or commission. 1t is enough to
make "a man steal, as Sterrett's whisky
made the Georgia jndge steal spoons. You
have our sympathy, Brother Higby.-Sac-
ramento Record.
You frighten us. Why, we have been
.laboring under the hallucination that matri-
mony was panacca for at least every moral
defect that the masculine character is SUBJ
ject to. We don't feel half SO much like
taking things that don't belong to us as we
did before, and as for sympathy" we do
not require it just yet Well wager trife
that the editor of the Record is either a
" hen-pecked" husband or "crusty" old

A GooD Order.-The Postmaster Gen
eral will soon issue orders prohibiting the

ernment detectives
The eastern "Gift Enterprise" so ex-
tensively advertised throughout the coun-
try are the most unmitigated humbugs
going. The proprletors of these concerns
make it point to never pay bill, and

One RELATION STILL Our OF OFFICE
1t is understood that Senator Cole has
secured paying positions for all of his re-
lations except General" Cole, whom the
Senator is now trying to foist into the office
of Secretary of the I. S. Senate, the posi-
tion held by Hon. Geo. G. Gorham The
reason why the General is without an
Office at this late day, is explained by the
fact that he has but recently got out Of
jail, where he was for long time confined
for the crime of numbering his brother-il-

Influence OF IA Newspaper.

In long and well-written article in the
Richmond Enquirer, is the following, in
reference to the press:
1t penetrates where the voice of the
preacher cannot reach. 1t commands the
attention of thousands of people who never
darken the doors Of church. 1t visits
the household of the wealthy alderman,
and the hoyel of the lowly artisan The
mirror of the entire community 1t Sc
lects its topics at WILL handles them in
snch style as may please its fancy, preach
es, discusses, praises, blames, criticises,
ridicules, attacks, and defends with the
utmost freedom. 1t utters what truth may
suit it; places it in focus of light, or OBJ
scures it so that it may not be received !;
distorts it or illustrates it, so that any par
ticular impression may be made There
are paragraphs to suit every taste-serious
disquisitions for the thoughtful useful
knowledge for the practical-politics, sci
ence, literature, statistics-news from Chi
ma to Utah-anecdotes aphorisms, acci-
dents, receipts, fashions, jests, poetry
auction sales, wants, and advertisements on
every cOHCclfdUlc SuUJtCt. W Hd1 dil eu-
CINE for good or evil The preacher in
the newspaper has no drowsy hearers-at
lsast never sees them. No one can inter
rupt him-and if there is not the electric
charm of articulate speech, there is the
mysterious authority and power of print
This passion for news compels the atten-
ton of the community. If its opportunity
is so great, what might be its responsible
ity? The clergy are wont to give express
sions to the sense of the terrible response
bility which rests upon them, and they
pray for guidance. Do we of the press
recognize what we assume in undertaking
to become the secular teachers Of the pub
lie? Our theatre is larger than that of
the pulpit. In the past generation polit-
ical speakers covered much of the ground
which is now occupied by US. But the
day is past The road to political power
is now through the press, not the bar"
