The Weekly Erominer of San Fran
cisco says, that the Democratic party
is proud of its record, rebellion and
all that it delights in the name rebel
because il claims that Washington,
Patrick Henry and John Adams we're
rebels, and is constantly harping con-
cerniug the rights of the State, and de-
clares that all Republicans, or members
of the party in power are traitors. Now
the reasoning proves just this, that it is
right for any citizen of the United
States to be rebel, because Washing
ton and his compeers rebelled against
the mother country, on account of op
preston; that because it was right for
Washington to resist tho home Gov
ernment, therefore it is right for US TO
resist the Washington Government,
and consequently M man can be a good
citizen, good Democrat or patriot. unless
he opposes the Government which pro.
teets him and, consequently, in our
late war, all who fought for the South
ern Coufederacy, were patriots, like
Washington, aud all who defended the
old Government were Tories. This
accounts for the action of the late
Legislature, in reference TO Gen. Sher.
man, and the great cry lately in the
Democratic Press about the patriotism
of Gen. Bob f. Lee. And now, as TO the
doctrine of States rights, We venture
the assertion that il the editor Of the
Examiner will define his position or
that subject, he viii prove himself tc
be confirmed Secessionist. Come
Mr.. Examiner, We have had enough o
your generalities; tell us what tn,
Rights of the State are.

separate supreme COURT
This question has been discussed
considerably lately, both in and out of
the Legislature. The Oregonioa seems
to think that the Legislature has no
power to create separate Supreme
Court at this time, because the late
census shows population of only
ninety one thousand. Now we are fully
satisfied that the late census does not
show the population large enough by
at least one fourth. In the second
place, the Constitution of Oregon is
silent in relation to the mode of asccr-
tanning the exact population Of the
State, and no particular officer or per
son is made or constituted q judge !;
but the Legislature, possessing the
highest power of the State, is the sole
Judge of the whole matter. And in the
third place, it would not he considered
very violent presumption to calculate
that at the next regular election, there
would be the number mentioned in the
Constitution. And again, the language
of the Constitution on that subject is
not such as to warrant the conclusions
of the Oregoaion. That instrument
does not forbid the passage of an Act
creating a separate Supreme Court
until the State shall have 100000
inhabitants, only by implication. The
language is: when the Inhabitants OF
the State shall amount to 10000,
the Legislature may provide" Now the
question is, could not, and would not
the language be construed as directory
osly. Section 10 of Article of the
Constitution stands alone on that SUBJ
iect; and we are satisfied, from the
reading of that section, that the power
rests with the Legislature alone, and
that whenever they see fit to take tbs
responsibility to provide for separate
Supreme Court, their act would b.
constitutional,
Then thare is bu. one other consider
alton, and that ID, the question of expe
dicncy. The question Of power beinl
first settled, the question of policy onl,
remains. And will it be contendet
that the policy would be bad ? Is ther
legal man in Oregon who does no
condemn the present system? Ar
litigants satisfied with the presen
arrangement? By no means; and tn
people generally are dissatisfied with ii
We are aware that some men objec
on account of expense, but that objec
ton most certainly is now removed, sine
the people have become so wealthy tina
they can give 100000 to a compan
10 build locks at Oregon City, an
large amounts to assist others to amas
fortunes. And then we have plenty Q
} means to pay the Court heavy salaries
because we can draw on the $4,000
!, acres for long time for there is jus
us much reason in saying that none
expended for salary of the Suprem
Court is legitimately laid out for interns
/ improvements, as there is for saying tha
money donated to person or compan
, to tuild locks or railroads, which sha
be the property of the person or com
! pany, when completed, that builds then
is properly laid out for internal i'm
provements.
We hold it would be constitutions
; aud right for the Legislature now
D make provision for Separate Supren
/ Court, and that they would fail to q

The Man on the Steeple-Hls Wonder-
full Escapes from . Violent Death.
from the Louisville Commerciall
A number of people we're watching In
tently yesterday the teats OF man upon Inc
steeple of the cathedral-the ease ana IN.
difference with which he conducted hlmsef
at the dizzy hight, provoking many express
sions of alarm. and wonder. This mans
name is DeLacy, and is in the employ OF d.:
w. Deshler. the proprietor OF the Hull
Lightning Rod, on Jefferson street. De-
LACY was employed in endeavoring to throw
a rope over the cross on the steeple, to
assist in attaching q lightning rod on the
top of the CROSS. The man looked very
small. indeed, as he let himself down with
a rope from an opening in the steeple.
There is history connected with young
DeLacy which is both wonderful and
h During the late war he was in the Con1ed'
crate service, and frequently active as spy.
He was caught by the Federal forces IN
Georgia, taken to Savannah, we believe,
tried, convicted and sentenced to be shot:
He was accordingly ordered to be executed
on given day, the order being carried out.
He fell before the fire of file of soldiers,
pierced through the body with bullets. He
was supposed to be dead, and carried away
in his coffin by two men, who, while con-
yeyipg him to q place of burial, thought
that signs of life were visible. An examina-
ton of the body proved their surmises to be
well founded. Instead of being buried, he
was taken to the house Of an old colored
woman. who nursed him for several months,
when he recovered.
After the war he was employed by the
Bridge Company here, and fell enc day from
the highest point of the structure into the
river, which he reached, fortunately, feet
foremost: rising to the surface OF the water
after his fearful fall, he managed to reach
some place OF safety, where he found bis
injuries to be slight.
Yesterday, this man, who. it seems, is re-
served by fate for some death other than by
violence or accident, was careering around
in mid air attempting to do the hazardous
work undertaken, showing no trepidation
or fear. What need he fear after his pas!
experience? He is probably doomed to die
in his bed from old age, as accident and
bullet have failed to rid him of life.

A correspondent Of the Vicksburg Times
says:
The Herald puffs the Natchez about her
famous run, but if they will take the trouble
to look over some of those old papers, they
will perceive the Lee ran from New Orleans
to Vicksburg in twenty nine hours and few
minutes; on another occasion she ran mere
in thirty hours and forty minutes. The
latter run she made six landings from New
Orleans to. Natchez, wooding-taking on
seventy-eight cords of wood-losing sixty
four minutes; then made Natchez in nine
teen hours and ten minutes, which far ex-
ceeds the time the Natchez made, with these
conditions. After leaving Natchez, she
made fourteen landings to Vicksburg, went
through "Old river" losing two hours; went
around Davis Bend, losing one hour. II
you will allow the Lee ten minutes for each
Of the twenty landings, two hours by going
through Old river, sixty-four minutes by
wooding, you will perceive she lost l6) six
hours and (2O) twenty minutes. Deduct
therefrom thirty hours and forty minutes,
and you will see she would have been IN
Vicksburg in twenty,four hours and twenty
minutes-far, far ahead of the Natchez's
time. When the Lee ran che was not
trimmed for the race like the Natchez was,
but the thirtieth of June will give the Lee
the honor due her.

The River Not Shorter.

The careful Cairo correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial writes to that paper
as follows:
It is now generally conceded by all steam.
boatmen who have given the subject much
thought, that the Mississippi river. from
New Orleans to St. Louis, is about the same
length at the end of every five or six years,
and the fact is explained as follows: During
that time every bend in the river has
heightened little-some very much-by
the constant caving il Of the banks. This,
of course, makes the river longer. But at
intervals of about five years average cut
off occurs, or new chute is thrown open to
navigation, which shortens the river and
counterbalances the frightening process.
This counterbalance is not thought of by the
casual observer, because the lengthening
process is going on daily and even hourly,
and is seldom spoken of, whereas the fact
of a new cutoff, shortening the river SO
many miles,. is published far and wide;
There have been enough cut offs formed
since 1874 to have shortened the river
nearly three hundred miles, but for the
counteraction spoken of, and the distance
is the same to-day as then.
