WASHINGTON, May 1.

 After the reading of the journal, MT. Bingham commenced the final argu- ment for the prosecution. Protesting that he took part in these proceedings from no partisan feeling, but with a weighty sense of their solemnity and true meaning, he then proceeded to sketch the events attending upon the assassination of President Lincoln and the accession of Andrew Johnson to the Presidency, and referring to his oath to execute the laws, spoke of tlAir majestic supremacy in our form of gov ernment, and claimed that the Presi- dent was equally subject to their au- thority with the humblest frontier set tlcr. He dwelt on the high trust com mitted to the Senate, and asserted that the issues of life and death hung on their decision he asked how the charge of violation of supreme law, was met by the counsel, who for hire defend the treason of the criminal respondent. It was by the outrageous assertion that each branch of the Government had the right to judge of the constitutionality of laws, and obey them or not at plea sure. This was the defense. Mir. Bing- ham held that the Senate, by uphold ing this proposition, would lay the foundation for monarchy first and sn- archy next, reign of chronic darkness on this issue which, in spite of lawyers tricks and special pleas, was the. real question involved; and their decision must stand for trial by the people. He repeated that the question was whether the President could be held to answer for violation of law. He held first that the Senate had the sole power to decide every question of law or fact arising therefrom, and also that they were the final arbiters, and the frequent attempts of the counsel to bring the Senate and Courts into opposition to each other were miserable devices to divert attention. He would not, he said, initiate the eloquent counsel (Mr. Evarts) who had shown himselfan eater up of syllables, snapper up of trifles, and W who had displayed more Latin than i law, uors rhetoric than logic and re-

On Wednesday, the End day Of the Augusta
County Fair, Commodore Matthew T. Maury
delivered, in substance, the following address,
as phonographically reported specially for the
Spectator by THEODORE F. SHUEY of this
county


I do not come here to make speech but to

ers We are told that you are wanting in en-
erey and lack enterprise The spectacle before
us does not look like it, especially when we con-

Apparently the North is more prosperous
than the South because the North is manufac-
turing aud commercial, the South agricultural.
In all manufacturing and commercial commu-
mites, products are concentrated, and there Is
a chow Of life and activity which is never seen
there dffused. Another reason is that the
statistics showing the rewards of labor at the
North and South are not quite fairly presented
For instance suppose that one of your neigh
bors in giving you an account of his earnings
during the year, should tel! you that he hac
housed so many barrels of corn, which wa
worth five dollars barrel, and killed so many
hundred weight of pork, that was worth eigh
GEMS pound, and so many pounds of bacol
worth twelve cents; but when you come to cat
echise HIM little closer, you find that it hat
taken all of his corn to fatten his pork, and al
of his pork to make his bacon Now this i
the way with the hay crops of the North
which they tell you are worth as much as tn
cotton crops Of the South In the last return
the hay crop of the North is put down at up
wards of three hundred millions Of dollars; tn
value of the live stock at little more. and tn
value of the butter and cheese at many mi
lions when the hay went to make it all.


There is still another error for this apparer
greater prosperity of the North, and the apps
rent show of greater enterprise and energ
there. According to the census of 1870, tn
! population of the U. S. was very nearly equa
" divided between the North and South; an

Therefore, before retiring is the proper

payment of royalty of 50 per tun on all ore
extracted after the tunnel strikes the lode,
which would insure the Company an income
it is believed, of $2,O00,0O0 per year. the whole
of which is pledged to the payment of the
Government bonds loaned to aid the company
1t is expected that the tunnel would be COM
peted within four years, and that the S5,OOO,OOO
loaned would be repaid from the profits OF the
tunnel within three years thereafter. MIR. Sutro
has prosecuted his undertaking with an energy
worthy the grandeur and importance which
must attach to it should it succeed. Beside the
hearty cooperation of the Legislature and
people of Nevada, and of the mining compa-
nes interested, and of the Committee of the
House on Mines and Mining, to whom the
subject was referred, and of the press
of the Pacific States and the min
ing interests, his project is indOrsed
by such distinguished experts as Prof. Bowen of
Harvard Baron Won Beust. Chief of the Mining
Department of Saxony Bernhard Won Gotta,
Professor of Mining and Geology at Freiburg
julius Weissbach, Royal Saxonian Mining Coun-
cilor and Professor; DR.. Won Dechen, Chief of
the Mining Department and Privy Councillor
of Prussia; II. Koch, Royal Prussian Chief
Mining Councillor Bruno Kerl, Professor at
the Royal Mining School of Berlin Michel
Chevalier, the French Economist and Senator I;
A. Daubr6e, Inspector of the Mines OF
France and many others of like eminence and
special familiarity with the subject The con-
struction of single tunnel like that proposed
would demonstrate to practical miners and
capitalists the utility of such enterprises wher-
ever operations have been prosecuted on fissure
veins to depth that renders the cost equal to
the income, and would thus lead to the
prosecution of other similar enterprises
by private capital. The case is unique
and peculiar one. The consequences OF with
holding the aid will be the speedy destruction
and loss of the private capital now invested
in mines to five times the value of the aid
sought while the consequences of granting the
aid will probably be to add very heavily to
our annual product of gold and silver, upon
which We rely in some measure for the dis
charge of the National Debt. The prospect that
the Government will be speedily repaid the
amount advanced seems to be more immediate
than in the case of any similar aid it has ever
given. The only question, therefore, seems to
be, not whether the aid should be extended
but on what terms. With every allowance for
the energy with which NJ. Sutro has prosecuted
the work, in the hope of enlsting private caDi-
tai in the enterprise, it would seem reasonable
that, if the Government furnish the entire
means of bringing it to a successful cOnclu-
sion, and sustain, as it must, all the risk OF
the operation, it should be paid not merely the
principal and interest of the amount advanced,
but perpetual royalty on the proceeds of the
operation of the tunnel, which might wisely be
devoted to the endowment of schools of min
ing or other similar purpose, or to the pay
ment of the National Debt.

We publish elsewhere a letter from the Hon.
George w. Julian, giving the argument i'll favor
of allowing two settlers to appropriate several
hundred acres in the Yosemite Valley, and to
confirm the appropriation by a grant from
Congress. Mr. Julian makes the point that
these settlers "squatted on the lands under the
preGmption laws before the act of Congress
setting them apart for n National Park was
passed. and Therefore they are entitled to the


lands at law; and if Congress should
not grant them, the Courts would vindicate
their title against the United States under
the homestead and preGmption laws.
Whether the fact alleged is true or not,
we utterly deny any inference therefrom that
Congress is bound to forego the advantages of
it's act creating the YO-Semite Valley into a
National Park, in obedience to the demand of
these squatters. 1t is simple question be-
tween the rights and interests of two men and
those of forty millions of men. If Congress
had the right to set apart any portion of the
public territory for a National Park, that right


is part of its right of eminent domain as a
government it is not divested or ended by
the operation of any act by which the land
becomes private property, and all individual
as we'll as State rights are subject to this
national right of domain. 1t is the
same right of sovereignty under which
the nation takes any other land it may need
for national purposes. The act setting apart
the Yosemite Volley as national domain is
special, and should have preference over the
claims of any who apply under the general pre-
emption laws applicable to all public domain
The rights and interests of two individuals
should be subordinate to those of the nation
at large Oh this as on all other questions.
Mr.. Julian thinks that he would not sacri-
flee the nations promise TO its settlers
to preserve even all the beauties of the Yo-
Semitic Valley. There is, he says principle
at stake. Very well: rising still above this
principle is the greater principle that the will
of the nation should be supreme and that the
caprice of individuals should be subordinate.
When a settler squats on the public domain,
his promise that the Government will give him
title to 100 acres of land is qualified by the
constitutional power of the Government to
take all private property for public use, by
making just and adequate compensation. Es-
pecially at the present time, when the rights
of $4,000 settlers on the Cherokee lands and of
thousands of settlers on the Usage lands are
being sacrificed to the rapacous greed of
private corporate monopolies, it seems drawing
it very fine to declare that the rights of the
two squatters in the Yosemite Valley are
superior to those of the nation at large. Mr..
Julian says these squatters have an indefeas


BILE title which the courts will enforce in their
favor. Perhaps so the question has not yet
been tried. But if so, Congress IS not called
upon to take any action whatever. We hope
the original purpose of the Yosemite grant
Will be maintained that the squatters will be
paid fully for their lands and improvements,
and allowed to remove their traps and plum
"derr out of the nations way.

The following bill has been introduced into
the Legislature. 1t relates to the retention
of moneys collected from foreign miners by
the counties where collected. That something
should be done for the relief of the mining
counties is very evident, as they are not only
deeply in debt, but their liabilities are rapid
ly increasing. All kinds of property is
depreciating in value, and as a natural con-
sequence the rate of taxation increases each
year. The issuing of bonds does not pay the
Indebtedness, but only prolongs the day of
settlement. On the other hand, the finances
of the State are in fourishing condition,
the public debt decreasing. and money is
accumulating in the State Treasury. The
retention of the States proportion of Foreign
Miners Licenses, by the mining counties,
would be great assistance to them in their
attempts to free themselves from debt, with
out being detrimental to other interests. We
hope the bill will receive the earnest and
united support of every member from the
mining counties


SECTION /. All moneys hereafter collected
for Foreign Miners License. Except when
otherwise specially appropriated by law to
special use, less the per centage allowed for
collection, shall be paid into the County
Treasury of the county in which they are
collected; ten per cent. of which shall be
accredited to and become part eff the Coun-
ty School Fund, and the remainder shall be
paid into the General Fund of said county.


SEC. 2. Foreign Miners Licenses shall be
hereafter issued and signed by the County
Auditor, and countersigned by the District
Attorney of the county, and shall be placed
in the hands of the County Collector for
collection, in the same manner and under
like regulations and restrictions as are now
provided by law for the collection of Foreign
Miners Licenses, upon certificates issued by
the Controller of State.


SEC. 3. The County Auditor shall keep
a book in which he shall charge the Collec-
tor with all licenses issued to him from time
to time, and credit him with all licenses re-
tanned and not sold by him. and also credit
him with the percentages due him for collect
ing, and for all moneys paid into the County
Treasury and said collector shall be ac-
countable on his bond for any deficiency in
his accounting.


SEC. 4. The County Auditor shall make
quarterly report to the Board of Supervi
sors of the county, of the number of licenses
issued to the Collector, the number by him
sold for each month, and the amount paid into
the General and School Funds therefor and
he shall require the Collector on the first
Monday of each month to render his account
of sales for the previous month and to settle
his accounts with the county therefor.


SEC. 5. All Acts and parts of Acts in
conflict with the provisions of this Act, ex.
cept Acts heretofore passed granting the
Foreign License Funds for counties for
specific purposes, are hereby repealed and
in all cases of special grants said licenses
shall be collected in the manner and under
the authority of this Act

The evil effects of the Fay Nickerson
movement in the last gubernatorial canvass
are still manifest, are indeed about to break
out anew, to plague US in the Fall campaign.
10. Wood and his colleagues are already at
work with a view to making nominations for
Electors, just as they did for Governor, Con-
troller and Secretary of State last Fall. We
hope to see this movement nipped in the bud,
and that little band of dis0rganizers made to
know that their purposes are understood
The impudence of this crew, in presenting to
make nominations after the vote given for
their nominees in their last effort-less than
three thousand in the whole State-is some
thing that approaches the superlative, and is
of itself sufficient to show reasonable men
the character Of the movement, and teach
them that the men who are conducting it are
enemies of the Union party, and unworthy of
countenance or support. We trust that no
Union man will be deceived by their misrep-
reservations. There should be no division
nor even chickering's amongst Union men in
the coming canvass, and we are glad to see
that the chief organ of the "bolters'' in the
September fight, the Bulletin, is now opposed
to the Fay -Nickerson movement in toto, and
is ready to stand by the nominees of the
Union party. In q late issue that journal
said:


Suppose two electoral tickets are run for
Grant; the Republican agitators may, if the
contest as against the Democracy be close,
Withdraw just enough votes from the Union
ticket to leave the Democrats in plurality.
Such a result is quite possible, for while
there is not enough discomfort with Union
party management to transfer the body of its
present membership, or even one quarter
thereof, to a new organization differing from
the old one in name, there is enough discon.
tent to make third ticket supported by the
club system proposed, source of real dan
ger. The people do not vote for President
directly, else the agreement on Grant of two
organizations would secure him the full
benefit of the joint vote. They vote for
Electors, and with three different Electoral
tickets in the field the chances for the Dem
ocracy woald certainly be very much i'm.

Nothing but evil could result from such
movement, and the sooner it is sqelched out
the better. Let every Union man in the
