The elevating effects of Chinaman's con-
version to Christianity are thus feelingly
stated by the Reveille of Wednesday:
The jury in the case of Jim Lee, the China
man on trial in the District Court, yesterday,
on an indictment for assault with intent to
kill, brought in verdict of not guilty, last
evening. Jim, who processes to have en-
braced Christianity, was highly elated over
his acquital, which he claimed was divine
interposition in his favor. He was quite a
hero with the loungers on Main street last
evening, and, in front of Paxton & Curtis
bank quite a crowd gathered about him, to
whom he expatiated at length on his own
goodness and the natural depravity of the
average Chinaman. Said he Good God he
savvee me- Damn all Chinaman; he no good :;
he go to hell; me no Chinaman no more. J"
He threatens to bring a civil suit for dam
ages for false arrest and imprisonment against
the Cinnamon who were instrumental in pro-
curing his arrest on the charge on which he
was tried.

The Reno Journal Of May has the follow
ing reference to most gratifying event:
S. Purdy and wife, of Long Valley, have
just celebrated their golden wedding, at their
residence, surrounded by their children, chill

The universal spread and knowledge of lit
erature has done much for the advancement
of the latterday scamp. Monroe Edwards
among forgers was what Claude Duval was to
the fraternity of footpads; and Boss Tweed,
Parson Winslow, Harry Meiggs and Oakley
Hall have much to answer for in the encour-
agement their examples offer to such eccen-
tries as George NJ Pinney and j. I. Beales.
The latter was the secretary of the Califor
MIA Stock Board until he took an ungraceful
and indefinite leave of absence which left his
employers and creditors very largely in the
lurch. Now he is an exile in the ancient city
of Panama He writes facetious letters from
his place of refuge, the rogue, inviting his
victims to smile at his crookedness and treat
his malefactions in the light of an ingenious
joke. His playful pleasantries do not pro-

THE LATE JOHN BROOKS FELTON,.

The Death of Hon. John B. FELTON,, from
some unaccountable cause, seems not to have
been telegraphed to the press of this State.
The shock of apoplexy and the fluctuations OF
his subsequent condition were transmitted,
but we have had to await the slow process OF
the mails to learn of his decease through the
papers. Mr. Felton's name properly belongs
among those of the most famous men and
ripest scholars of the Republic. He was
born at Saugus, Mass. in June 1923. So he
was not quite 40 years old. He was brother
of the late c. G. FELTON,, President of Har-
vard-the FELTON, whose name occurs so fire.

ton went to France where he studied French
law and when he came to California about
the year 1854, he was possessed of the almost
inestimabe advantages of a thorough acquaint-
ance with both French and Spanish law. As
practicing lawyer his income was absolutely
princely. For his services in adjusting the
differences between the City of Oakland and
Horace Carpenter the Bulletin says he
received scarcely less than a million dollars
in money and land-values. He was the Attor-

received from James Lick one fee of 500, OOO
Mr.. FELTON, was President of the associated
Alumni of the Pacific Coast he was an emin-

was a Freemason in high standing; and he

the United States In 1866 he married a
daughter of the late Hon. Joe. Baldwin. He
leaves wife and two daughters The funeral
of this justly distinguished citizen took place
yesterday at Oakland.

NEW YoEK, Jan. 1.-The Herdld's spe-
cial from Washington says that every
effort has been made by the Republicans
to induce Judge Woods to go to Tallahas-
see, open his Court ,and pursue the course
of Judge Bond in South Carolina, but he
has firmly refused. Even threats have
been used without avail The law govern
ing United States Judges of Circuit Courts
strictly prohibits them from granting
writs of habeas corpus unless the prisoner
is held by virtue of a United States law.
The only resort then left to the Radical
leaders to prevent a fair count in Florida,
is to create rioting and bloodshed, and
thus Justify call on Federal troops, and
the interference of the United States
Courts. The desire among Conservative
men to come to an agreement as to the
plan of counting the electoral vote is
growing stronger. 1t is believed that the
southern committees will report next
week, and their conclusions should cause
an honest and early settlement.
The question whether the houses or the
Vice President shall count the vote will
be easily decided, for all the precedents
and discussions point in one direction,
and show that the Vice-President has no
power in the premises and the two houses

NEW YORK'S GOVERNOR SPEAKS
OUT.
WHAT HE HAS TO SAY ON THE PoLIT-
ICAL SITUATION.
ATnANv N " Joo q

]ALbAN , 4N' . Odll. Z,
Governor Robinson, in his message first
treats of State matters at length. Refer
ring to national affairs he says, in regard
to Louisiana:
l pause here in this statement to inter-
pose in behalf of the people of this great
Commonwealth solemn denial of the
power ofany State government, to vest
such powers as are claimed by the Louis
lana Returning Board many Canvassing
Board whatever.
He also reviews the action of the Flor
idaand South Carolina boards, condemn
ing both their actions, and that of the
Federal Government in connection with
those two boards. He declares the mill
tary interference to have been inviolation
of the Constitution and laws. He say:
While these things were going on in
the South a member of the Cabinet at
Washington was acting as chairman Of a
partisan national committee, and, with
the corporations of some of his collea-
CUES in the Cabinet, counselling and
Systematically stimulatingy these des-
perate measures. With reference to
the President of the Senate determining
what votes shall be counted, he says the
President of the Senate is three removes
from the people. If such power were
to have been vested in a single man, a
depositary would have been chosen not
SO far removed from popular accountable
ity. But the people Of this country will
never vest such power in any one man,
however selected. They will never con-
sent to new construction of the Constitu-
ton and laws that bears such fruit, They
will stand firmly in the ancient land
insist that the electoral votes, in this
emergency, shall be counted, as they have
always been counted, by the two Houses
of Congress, and by nobody else. In
conclusion, he says the people ofthe Uni
ted States will never consent to have
their. representatives in Congress stripped
of these powers or tolerate this usurpa-
tion by deputy of the Senate or by any
single person, and still less by any officer
who is frequently interested as a candi-
date in the result of the count. In this
sentiment and purpose the State of New
York cordially concurs. Foremost
among all our American Commonwealth
in population, in the variety and extent
of her industries and interests, she has in
every vicissitude of public affairs put
forth all her strength, moral and physical
to maintain the existence and the just
authorities Of the Union, and she can
never consent that the time-consecrated
methods of constitutional government
shall be supplanted or overthrown by
revolutionary eXpedients.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE NEW Con

THE PRESIDENT AND THE New Con
GREss.--It is stated that the President
doubts whether he has the power to
call session of the new House of Rep
resentatives in case there is no presi-
dental election by the 4th of March.
A President going out of Office on the
4th of March has no more right to call
a s ecial session of Congress on the
9th of March, when he is funtats oticio,
than he has to call upon that body to
assemble on the 4th of July following
his retirement. 1t has heretofore been
customary for the outgoing President
to simply request the Senate to assem-
BILE on the day when the incoming
President is to be inaugurated.

OPINIONS OF BAYARD AND LAMAR.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2, 1s77.-There
is no boubt that the temper of both
parties here improves, in spite of the
efforts.of fewupscrupulous politicians
TO irritate and inf1ame partisan suspic>
ion and dislike. The conviction gains
ground that the constitution and laws
are sufficient to cover and solve all the
present difficulties, and that there is
no excuse for violence or for illegal or
doubtful constitutional proceedings by
either side; that the Presidency is not
to be scrambled for, and that neither
party can afford to succeed by trickery
or by measures or acts of doubtful con-
stitutionality.
Senator Bayard was asked what he
thought of the plan of the House to
stop supplies OF Hayes, replied. ."To do
anything hamper the comlngadministra
tion by refusing ia advance appropria-
tions is an act of revolution and almost
certainly Of war. We cannot in this
country live in state of semi-revolu>
ton. We should drift into civil war.
In fact, the scheme proposed, would
be war. In my opinion the constitu.
tion and laws afford every requisite
remedy for grievances" s...-..r.
MIR. Lamar. being asked what he
thought Of the proposition that the
House of Representatives would stop
the supplies in anticipation of Govern
or Hayes Inauguration, and, in case
of the announcement of his election,
replied that he considered the policy
proposed subject to grave and indeed
insuperable objections. Ia the first
place, he considered it an unconstitu-
tional course. The constitution can
be violated as much by anon-perform-
ance of constitutional duty as by an
usurpation of constitutional power.
lido duty to provide for the support of
the government and all Its depart
ments Is imposed upon Congress by
The constitution. Now. what the con
stitutoin enjoinds it intends to be done
Not to do it is to violate that instru-
ment more fatally than the usurpation
of any doubtful power. If it is right
for one department of the government
to refuse to perform the functions
which the constitution imposes upon
1t, is right or all or any of the others
to do the same. .f ..E

Gov. HAYEs's MEssAGE.-A dispatch
from Columbus, Ohio, says: "Governor
Hayes's annual message is now in the
hands of the printers.-Lil1e all such pro-
ductions from the hands of the anthor,
this document will be brief, not occupy
more than two and a-half or three news
paper columns, and will be confined
strictly to State affairs, with no allusion
to national politics. It's understood that
Gov. Hayes will reiterate his previously
expressed views as to the necessity of re-
stricting the practice of creating local
municipal debts. The fact that the local
public Indebtedness of the State increased
during the last fiscal year $4,000, ,O00
renders the discussion of the question q
timely one. The State finances are in a
healthy condition, and the entire State
debt is in course of rapid extinction by
means of the sinking fund provided in
