WAGES AND SEEING POOR TENANTS GOODS.
A rumor which prevailed few days ago
has become more general, that county
constable on Tuesday evening, October 18th
pushed man into the gutter and broke his
wrist in two places. The collision is said to
have occurred at Fourth and King streets,
whore the injured man named John Scott,
was standing talking to a friend, when the
constable passing by overhearing remark
which he thought applied to himself, turned
back, and after being assured that the re-
mark was intended for him, took Scott by
the shoulders and pushed him violently in
to the gutter with the result stated. 1t is
also stated that Scott was told by some of
the Justices that he could not,hav war
rant as the constable was in the discharge
Of his duty.

TIE DEMOCRATS OF MILL CREEK Hun
DRED IN TROUBLE. Everything is not love-
ly in the Democratic camp Of Mill Greek
Hundred, A number OF them say that al,
though they can swallow crow in the sh ape
of voting for Grubb. the candidate for
Sheriff, they don't want any Bartholomew
grub. The true inwardness of this arises in
the defeat of Stephen Springer at the Dem
ocratic primary election, by Bartholomew
for place on the Legislature ticket.
Springer was supported by DR.. Swithin
Chandler and that wing of the reputable
part of the party, while it ia
said that Bartholomew got his support from
Harigan's and Creeden's ranches in Hook
essin Valley, and that he had his adherentF
hauled to the election i'll a wagon. When
| the votes were counted out, and it wat
found that Bartholomew was ahead, DR.
/ Swithin Chandler could contain himself nj
longer and gave vent to his disgust in nj
disguised language. As consequence o.
this little lively rebellion. it il thought tina
Abram Chandler, the Republican candidate
from the same Hundred, will run consider
ably ahead of his ticket, and Democrat
declare that it will only be because Bartho
lomew is unknown beyond his own Hun
dred, that he will be able to run up to hi
ticket anywhere.

His R. H. Prince Leleiohoku, who headed the list
of ayes replied that he had voted in accordance with

hon. S. h. Kaai made long speech in reply to
the Attorney General, in which be argued that it
more violation of the Constitution for the rep.
resentatives to vote themselves slOO piece than to
vote themselves postage stamps or ice.
Mr.. Kahanu followed in the same strain. using
violent language against the Ministers, and especial
" the Attorney General, and ending by saying that
he hoped the President would resume his place in
the chair.
Mr.. Rhodes in reply said that nothing would tempt
him to uphold the action of the House BY resuming
his place. and he begged of the Assembly if they had
any regard for the future good Of the natiun that
they would their vote, and he would move in
that event that the whole record of the mornings
proceedings be stricken from the rolls.
Mr.. Green favored the motion to reconsider. and
said that the resolution clearly uncaustitu
tional that nothing would induce the Cabinet to con-
sent to payment Of the money. without an order
issued by the Supreme Court declaring it to be con-
siitutional. lie said that there were eaemies Of the
Constitution and of the Government in this CRY who
woul rel ice to see the Constitution trampei in the
dust The action Of those who favored the resolution
would he sure result trouble for the country.
