Ranger Will say that this is also lie. ! think
the Courts of Placer have not got the Dickerson

office is only worth about 81, 800, and it will not
afford me to pay from twenty dollars to one

the tone of Chaparral Ranger l recognize him

the Democratic and Liberal Republican can
didate is elected by from LOCO to sz,OOO
majority. The Republicans seem to have
no hopes Of any part of their general city
ticket save the candidate for city solicitor,
Jno. w. Warrington. Ias ~ -
LATER.-Twelve wards and precilcts
show that Davis, Republican, gains l,424
over the Presidential vote, but nothing to
indicate a change in the previous estimate
of Johnston's, Democrat, majority.
There seems no doubt that Bishop, Keck,
Corberry, Wright, Hunt and Rowland, the
Democratic and Liberal candidates for del
egates to the Constitutional Convention
are elected. King, Headley, Frieburg and
johnson were on both tickets, and OF course
elected.
The returns with reference to the four
Police Commissioners elected under the
new law are more meagre, Gather, the
Republican candidate for the first district
having large gains, but the Republicans are
by no means sangulne of bis election.
There is now hardly doubt that the
whole general city Democratic ticket is elect
ed, not excepting Warrington, Of whose
election there appeared some indications
earlier in the evening.

THE IMMUNITY OF ROYALTY.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Commercial writes under date
Of April 4:
"Samuel Randall was informed by the
Attorney General to- day that he could not
have access to the records of the Depart
ment of Justict, for the purpose of seeing
what papers were fled to induce the Presi-
dent 10 pardon Brown, the Philadelphia re-
peater. The refusal was placed on the
ground that the pardoning power Of the
President, under the Constitution, was a
personal prero -aJive, not subject TO be
called in question either by Congress or the
people. This would indicate that the At
torney General aud the President intend 10
nav no attention to the resolutions which
passed the House calling for information in
this somewhat notorious case"
1t thus appears that the creature has set
himself above the creator. The people
made Grant President; he exercises the
pardoning power by the authority thus con
ferred upon him, and in the exercise Of that
power in the case of the notorious Philadel-
ph'a repeater he outraged both decency and
Justice, and now when the people, through
their representatives in Congress, call upon
him for the papers which influenced his
action in this matter, his super-serViceable
Attorney General tells them it is none Of
their business; and that his right to par
don is personal Ir3rogative which cannot
be called to question. The next answer
will probably be that the King can do no
wrong" and querulous people must be si-
fenced. There would be as much decency
in such an answer as the one given for the
outrage perqetrSted upon the people of
phiIadelnhia.
