DISPATCH

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1873 P. NJ
Lemuel Lyon, late U. 8. Consul at
Yokohama, died there April 9th, oil
softening of the brain. :
Anan supposed to be a discharged
soldier was found dead in a deep cut
on Market street, west Of Eighth, this
morning. He had shot himself through
the head with a cavalry revolver,
which lay across his breast. His watch
and chain had not been touched.
Yesterday William Hammond, who
had been boarding with and counting
Catherine Gross, corner of O'Farrell
and Mason streets, called at her house
and discovered a stranger hiding be-
hind the door in her room. This
aroused his suspicious, and upon In
quiry he satisfied himself that hei
affections were not fixed upon him
alone. This morning, unable to bear
his sufferings any longer, he told hei
he desired TO speak to her privately
She consented, and was leading the
way to the kitchen, wnen he drew q
revolver and fired at her, the ball pass
ing through her arm and grazing hei
breast. She then sprang out Of a win
dow, and he fired again, but missed
her. He was arrested. She says he
owes her 800, and that she had never
given him encouragement to regard
her otherwise than rs a friend.

ONE Of the beauties Of party disci-
pline Is exemplitied in the sudden
change In the course Of many Of the
ultra rebel papers Of the South. At
the sound Of the lash Of the leaders
they have exchanged their vigorous
warfare upon the amendments for a
dutiful acquiescenee. Taking their
cue from the recent Congressional adj
dress, they now counsel liberation
where before they had advocated re-
sistance. Northern Democratic papers
oil their columns with extracts from
these chameleon sheets to prove a party
character for peace and quietness, and
the family is happy nee more. But
all the journals of Southern opinions
are not so tamely subdued. The men
who hung so long upon the verge OF
the last ditch, fight most enduringly
for what they esteem a principle.
They still believe the only way to tri-
umph Is to fight an open battle, and
do not conceal their war upon the
amendments. The Memphis Appeal,
representing this class, has the follow
Ing to say In answer to Senator Nor
tons recent speech at indianapolis:
We believe the Democratic party will triumph
in 1871, and upon platform that will insure 1
speedy return to constitutional prerogative
power and law. We bolieve the obnoxiou,
amendments, and all the laws In pursuance o.
them, will be wiped out.

EVERY utterance in favor of their pc

EVERY utterance In favor of their pc
culiar theory, from any source whatsc-
ever, is now being seized upon by the
Statcs'rights Democracy as confirma-
ton Of their dogma that this is a con-
federation Of States, and not n union
Of n people. A recent decision Of the
Supreme Court, that the United States
has not the power to tax the salary or
Income Of a State judge. has given
great satisfaction to these reckless
sticklers after State sovereignty. One
declaration, that Of Judge Clifford, that
the States existed as independent sov-
ereignties before tho Union was
formed, and hence that the Union was
their creation and derived its power
from them, is particularly pleasing.
That this inference Is a wrong one, is
proved by all records. In forming the
Federal Constitution, the States were
In n great measure lost sight Of and the
people alone considered. From them
all the power was derived, and in them
alone 1t exists. The abstract question
Of the constitutionality of the income
tax as applied to State officers may be
right n decided by the Supreme Court;
but when It comes to whether this is n
confederation Of independent sover-
eighties, as determined by at least a
portion of that tribunal, there will be
q very wide difference Of opinion, and
wa incline to tho belief that the men
who hold such views are just rs much
nulliiers and secessionists as Calhoun
or Davis.

the purpose Of counteracting the effects
of dampness, the house being a new

and mother made up their bed on the

with their child, while the little girl
occupied a bedroom off the Kitchen.
