Alexander H. stephens ca the Ex-
ira session.

No man in the United States
ever had fuller opportunities for In
vestigating the spirit and scope Of
our institutions than Alexander Fl
Stephens. He has been for very
many years a profound student of
our political history. His views
meet the appreciation of the most
enlightened members of the DEM
ocratIc party. On the 4th of Aug.
ust Mr.. Stephens delivered by in
vitation an address before the Leg
islature of Georgia on the questions
Of the day. He devoted considera-
space to a discussion of the extra
session and the stand taken in that
body by the Democratic party. We
do not think we can do our readers
= greater favor than by reproduc-
/ A1Ghese admirable views of ripe
statesman. We quote:
First, the extra session, the

and issues presented by it. 1t is
useless to state the causes that pro.
duced IL. There was one promi-
nent, leading and controlling one
q disag agreement between the Senate
and House of Representatives upon
the appropriations. The House
was Democratic, the Senate was
Republican. The House upon the
Army bill inserted what was called
q rider, which provided in the bill
for the repeal Of the act passed dur
ing the war with regard to troops
1t the polls. 1t affirmed the righl
to use troops at the polls to keep
the peace. That was passed in 1865.
The House put an amendment to
the Army bill virtually repeating
that part which authorized the use
OF the troops to keep the peace at
the polls. The history OF this
need not give you. The Senate at
the last session refused to agree to
it, and the Army bill failed. The
Legislative, Executive and Judicial
bills passed with q rider repeating
the law that requires and author.
ICES the appointment of deputy
marshals to aid In Federal elections
members of Congress. That was
what was considered an act that
was passed under something of a
war feeling. Be that as 1t may,
the House passed the Appropria-
tiOn bill with this rider upon it.
The Senate refused to pass it. That
bill failed, Congress expired and
there was no money to support the
army, no money to support the iu-
dietary. no money to support the
civil list. The President immedi-

night about one hundred people
visited all the gambling houses
and Chinese opium dens, and gave
them notice to close up and leave
the town within twenty-four
hours or abide the consequences,

an emigration.
About ten days ago a young girl
about thirteen years old came to
Modesto and was met by one Kel-

house of i'll. fame. The next day a
telegram came from her father to
have her arrested. When the off,

not been able to find her yet. They
telegraphed for the father, who left

This morning the father met the
seducer of his child at the railroad
depot and imm ediately drew a
small sized pocket knife and
stabbed him several times in the
abdomen. The wounds are thought
to be mortal. The sympathy of our
citizens Is with the father.
