OTTAWA, Ont, Nov. H.-Although the de-
mand for lumber hes been somewhat duller
this year than last, larger quantity has been

cut this year in the Ottawa valley will reach
fully 100000 600 feet, about the same as last
year. At the present moment It is stated that
there is more lumber in the piling grounds
than ever before, and 1t is evident that large
quantity must be carried over.

PORTLAND, Dec. 13, 1879.
My Dear Mr.. BouteIe;
The greatest harm to which the State is exposed
this year is not the theft of the government-that
might be corrected in year. 1t Is the danger that
the principle shall be accepted that there Is in the
State a body of men who, in a purely ministerial
duty, involving the very highest interest of the
people, are bey nd ths reach of law.
1.-the opnion.of Judge Virgin has brought up In
my mind Mr. Buchanans famous message. The
States he said, had constitutional right to
secede, but the government had no power TO eoerce
them.
The Governor and Council, says the Judge, have
right to keep the returns from the inspection of
the people interested in them but there is no power
to coerce them. But, in the former case the loyal
people found very effective and constitutional
to coerce the individuals of a State who woald
carry the state out of the Union In the latter,
venture to predict that the Supreme Court, when
the question, if ever shall come before that body
will find equally effective and constitutional
way for preserving the State against individuals or
any body of men, who, In the discharge of merely
ministerial functions, shall usurp power greater
than that of the people them elves. and shall by
fraud attempt to reverse their action and stihe
their will.
In haste, yours truly,
/. WAsHBURN, JR.

PORTLAND, Dec. 15, 1879.
My Dear Mr. BoatteLIe:
You have my more than thanks for the very kind
terms in which you introduced my paper TO the
reaiers of the W. & G.
The more think of 1t, the greater would seem
resent most Indignantly the deeper dam nation OF
thsir' counting out 1t would show a want of in
telligence and of interest in their republican insti
tutions that would go far towards proving them
unworthy of free government But vastly more
will they be wanting if they shall gu city submit to
an inter probation of the power of the Governor
and Council, which would of itself, if conceded 10
BE- correct, change their vernment from one of
law to a reckless and irresponsible oigarchy. am
amazed at the unconcern with which men seem to
contemplate the introduction of Mexicanism as the
rule and measure OF their power. Never in this
state before nor in any State. under the Gener-
al government, nor in England WAS it ever known
that mere counting officers, exercising a simple
m nisterial duty. we're above aod beyond the laws
of the land a. d of its highest court.
The Contribution says: Each house shall be he
Judge If the elections and qualifications Of its own
members" Also that he Governor and Council
shall examine copies of the lists of votes aud
mon suca persons Qn case of senators and repre-
sentatives) "appear TO be elected I"
The Constitution, in words. reserves all power to
judge to the houses and gives to the Governor ami
Council the right only to summons those who ap-
pear to be elected. 1t is impossible to describe
ministerial duty more carefully accuE ately.
When the supreme law tribunal of a state ceases
to have power over the body designated to perform
this service. there is no longer constitutional
State, and ouly one which rests on the party which
will perpetrate the greatest fraud resort to the
greatest violence.
In haste, truly.
