T# hßwi tbemaelvea from the odiouo
«w «f having passed the personal liberty
laws, thè Black Republicans, with match
|Hi assurance, deny (ho allegation and
aoaaUngty attempt to throw the responsi
bility as the Democratic parly. They
hara not the manliness to father their
•awn bantlings—they disown their own
etbpring- repudiate their own acts. They
point to Indiana which, until recently,
has been a Democratic State, and affirm
that she paused a personal liberty bill,
while the Democracy were in power.
How shamelessly she has been misrepre
sented we learn from a letter of Mr. K.
Bigger, one of the roost distinguished men
of the State and a prominent politician.
In repelling the charge he says :
14 This it a mistake and a slander. Indiana
Baser enacted such a law— nerer elected n
Onrernor till bow, but would hare vetoed any
aachenactment; and in entry instance the Fu
gitive tHara law baa been promptly enforced.”
Truly say» a cotemporary that is an
iOnatration of the fidelity of the Demo
cratic party to tbo Constitution —but
AhaHtlondom for years has characterised
aach action as (ruckMng to slave power,
doughfeccdncas, and treason to the North.
TT# Democratic party has always unfal
teringly adhered to the compacts of the
Constitution—has never denied the South
her Constitutional rights, nor interfered
with her domestic institutions. Had the
Democracy triumphed last November, our
Union would not now be threatened with
diminution. Harmony would have been
raatorod, and araoothly and tranquilly
would our Union haveadranced in wealth,
happiness and greatness. Unfortunately
distensions arose in the Democratic-parly,
and a sectional faction, taking advantage
of the split, nominated a candidate and
elected him in opposition to the wishes
of a largo majority of the people. lie is
the representative of a sectional faction
standing upon a sectional platform—
pledged to sectional doctrines—doctrines
unjust and unconstitutional and violative
of the right* of fifteen States of the Union.
Ho is committed in favor of the personal
liberty laws, and to all the dangerous and
obnoxious doctrines of the Republican
party. Had he been elected by a National
party, had the convention which nomi
nated him promulgated a National plat
form, his election, however unfortunate
and distasteful, would hare caused no ap
prehensions for the integrity of the Union.
But, wedded to sectional doctrines and
«toc ted by a sectional party, he is regard
ed aa the President of a.aection, not the
President of the nation. He cannot be
true to bis principles anil the Nation at
the same time. He must be false to one
<or the other. The South distrusts and
fears him, and justly, too, if bo adheres
to his party, and will never be satisfied
until he gives her gome assurance that he
will respect her constitutional rights.
Thus far ho haa personally declined to
announce what policy ho shall pursue ;
'but those in his confidence scmi-offlcially
assure the public that ho will not deviate
in the slightest from the Republican plat
form. If he do not, then, indeed, is the
Union in imminent danger, for it is pre
sumable that the section which elected
him will sustain him and refuse to repent
its unconstitutional personal liberty laws,
which the slave States not unreasonably
-demand. All conservative men, nil friends
of the-Union, all who deprecato secession
agree that they are mischievous and un
constitutional and demand their repeal.
Will the President elect heed their ndvic*
or be governed by (lie ultra Republicans ?
Time will tell.
UAMACiiisrm.—The Boston Courier ,
as a type and illustration of the reckless
ness of a large |H>rtion of the press am)
people of Massachusetts at this particular
period, and (heir utter ignorance of, or
unconcern fbr, the imminent dangers
which roenanco the country, compares
them to a parcel of monkeys in a tree,
chattering, pelting each other with nuts,
and skipping from limb to limb, while a
man below i* cutting down the tree with
axe-r-the tree already beginning to trem
ble to its impending fall. The Courier
is the organ of the conservatives of Massa
chusetts and with dignity and ability re
commends conciliatory measures and tem
perately admonishes the Black Republi
cans not to push matters too far. The
political sentiment of Massachusetts has
changed materially since the Presidential
election. The distress consequent upon
depression in trade and suspension of
Urge manufactories, is severely felt,
and the mechanic! and laboring men are
clamorous for an amicable settlement of
difficulties, regardless of party ties.

The New York Tribune, the aiithculic
exponent of the views of the President
elect, exultantly announces that, “ He
are enabled to itate, in the moni jwtilire
Urine, that Mr. Lincoln it utterly nppotnl
to any contention or com prom ite." While
old, experienced and patriotic statesmen
are eartiestly working to preserve the
Union in its integrity, arc « illing to make
concessions, even sacrillccs to prevent its
dissolution, this petty politician and un
scrupulous demagogue announces that he
is “utterly opposed to any concession or
compromise." lie stands square upon
the Chicago platform— a platform from
which the word “ National" was stricken
out, as odious to the faction which nomi
nated him ; stands hy his speeches and
record, which favor the destruction of
Southern rights and institutions, and the
inauguration of the “ irrepressible con
flict." What has the South to expect
from a President so sectional and bigoted ?
Old and wise statesmen, who have serve !
their country faithfully and nobly, with
kindness and patience and conciliation
may arrange some great measure of guar
antees and securities that will afford due
protection to every section of the country,
I and restore harmony ; but Lincoln, tile
I representative and leader of a powerful,
! fanatical and successful faction, warns his
followers that concessions will nut meet
his approbation, and as he has a number
of lucrative olliccs at his disposal they
{ will be careful not to otlciid him. And
! unless concessions are inaile by the ag-
I gressors the Union cannot he kept "one
, and indivisible." Lincoln is a petty poli
tician, with a mind too feeble or intoler
ant to appreciate or understand the mag
nanimity, the wisdom, the patriotism of
the eminent statesmen who, in tins emir
gency, are ready and prepared to make
sacrifices to preserve the Union. If this
’ system of government, which has dcrcl
i oped, “ with order and without struggle,
| so much prosperity, liberty and happiness
| to its citizens, and to the oppressed of
! Europe and to the negro race i'sclf—if
j this great scheme, upon which the desti
-1 nic* of so many millions hang, and on
! which civilization itself depends”—if this
| glorious Confederacy, “ cemented together
j hy the blood of the patriots of the It -vo
lution"— could he saved by “concession
or compromise," Lincoln would oppose it,
A man so bigoted and so indifferent to
bis country’s welfare, so regardless of the
prosperity and happiness of millions ol
j his countrymen, the Black Republicans
j have elected President. No wonder that
i wise, pure and patriotic statesmen despair
of saving the Union. No wonder "that
the people everywhere arc fearfully ex
cited, and apprehend the most din calam
ity. The issue has been forced upon
them, and we hope that they will meet
it in a conciliatory and fhrbearing spirit,
even if it do not meet the approval of the
President elect.

Legislative. —But little business ol in
terest to the citizens of our county has
been transacted in the Legislature since
our last issue. On Wednesday, Dr. Har
vey introduced, in the Senate, a "Bill for
an Act amendatory of and supplementary
( to on Act entitled an Act to authorize the
; Board of Supervisors of K 1 Dorado Coun
ty to levy a toll for crossing at Broekliss'
I bridge, on (he Sacramento and El Dorado
[ W agon Road." We have not seen the
, bill and cannot, therefore, statu what
provisions are. On the same day, Mr.
j Coleman gave notice in the House that he
, would introduce a " Bill for an Act con
j ccrning roads and highwyasin the County
of El Dorado." Morn " Union-saving"
resolutions have been introduced in each
j House and referred to the Committees on
Federal Relations. Until these and the
I Senatorial question are disposed of, but
little legitimate business will bo done.—
The session promises to bo protracted, ex*
j travagant and profitless. When will the
| people learn that it is on expensive and
dangerous experiment to confer power up
on a new, untried, inexperienced parly ?
Gov. Downey has appointed J. T. Al
sop, formerly of this county, notary pub
lic for Contra Costa county.* The ap
pointment is an excellent one, Dr. A loop

Railroad Merlins*
The importance ami necessity of con
necting IMacerville and Folsom by Kail
rond is no longer a question of dispute.
It is an admitted fuel, even l>y those who
lately objected to the enterprise ; and with
a majority significant and encouraging
our citizens arc taking hold of the matter
and energetically pushing it forward. The
Kailroad must be and w ill be built. The
investment » ill be both safe and profitable,
and capitalists, w hen they become con
vinced that our people are in earnest, will
not hesitate to subscribe for a sufficient
amount of sloek to construct the Kailroad.
There is no disposition manifested by
any one, wo arc gratified to state, to
throw impediments in the way of its
speedy construction. Since several rival
towns in the Northern portion of the
State have misrepresented the Placerville
route and attempted to direct the trade
and travel to Western Utah, that region
which is now so rapidly ascending in the
scale of wealth, population and produc
tiveness, from it, the inhabitants of Pla
cerville have resolved to avail themselves
of their favorable and unrivaled locality,
and to permanently secure that which the
Northern towns arc now employing all
possible means to obtain. That the ex
tent, wealth, population and stability of
our city exceed beyond comparison the
like features in any of its competitors,
Marysville, perhaps, excepted, is an as
, sertion established by tbe observation of
| all who arc acquainted with it; and it is
susceptible of a similar and like indispu
table proof, that in the points of central
and accessible position, Placerville enjoys
an uncontruverted preference. The ex
periment will show to any one making it
that, whatever his destination, and what
ever point of the compass Ids steps may
seek, he will find an easy and excellent
road radiating thither from onr city. To
; accomplish this our citizens have been
lavishly liberal, either in tbe direct con
struction of these roads, or, indirectly,by
advancing loans, or contributing to the
enterprise of individuals. As a conttc
quenec, Placerville is nutf observable as
the most prominent and important city in
the mountains, to which convergo numer
ous roads and thoroughfares, of leas or
greater importance and is thus enjoy
ing infinito advantage over each and all of
! Iter rivals now contending for lite trade of
Western Utah and ultimately of Salt Lake
I City. Ily constructing the railroad, we
have no hesitation in saying our city will
become second in activity, wealth and pop-
I illation to Sacramento; and wc assert,
| without fear of coutradietioo, (lint, with
regard to convenience and accommoda
tions, she excels the whole number of
I
contesting towns north. This is nut sail)
; in disparagement, but in truth, according
■ to our best belief.
On Friday night of last week, the court
house was filled with our most intluential,
wealthy and enterprising citizens, to hear
the report of the co nun it tee appointed at
a previous meeting to solicit subscriptions
I for stock. Mayor Wade called the meet
ing to order, and briefly lint earnestly
urged those interested to act promptly
and energetically. Mr. Cooper, Chairman
of the Committee on Subscriptions, re-
I ported tlmt two hundred and thirty-two
| shares had been subscribed for ; that all
| from whom the Committee had solicited
: subscriptions bad manifested unusual in
terest in the enterprise; that some of them
I had expressed a willingness to take more
1 stock should it be necessary ; and that it
I they were allowed a few days longer,they
i would obtain the requisite amount of sub
: scriptions. Further time was, according
ly, granted the Committee,
j In respense to repeated calls, John
Ilotnc, Ksqr., addressed the meeting in a
brief, lurid and forcible speech. lie
j showed the benefits that Placerville would
derive from the railroad, the necessity of
its speedy construction,and urged prompt
and vigorous action. J. G. McCnllum,
Ksq., and Dr. I.S. Titus were also called
for, and briefly but pertinently responded.
An Kxccutivo Committee—MeCallimi,
i llnmo and Titus—was appointed by tbe
Chairman “ to supervise the allairs of the
proposed Railroad Company until its final
organization ; to cause the preliminary
( articles for subscription for stock to be
generally circulated, and to appoint prop
er persons to solicit subscriptions in San
I’rancisco, Sacramento and other places ”
It was a spiriteli meeting, composed of
the most influential, responsible and en
terprising citizens of Placerville ; and the
gentlemen appointed to conduct the af
fairs of the Company have the energy
and ability to accomplish what they un
dertake. We hope that nil of our citizens
will contribute ns liberally as possible to
tbe success of the enterprise.

The Doctrine or Cokiicion.—The Re
publican party may learn a lesson on
this subject from its greatest champion,
William 11. Seward, who, in a specoli de
livered nt Cleveland, Ohio, in 18(8, an
nounced the follow ing as a cardinal prin
cipio in American politics :
“ Onr duly is to preserve the integrity of the
Union. This Union must be it voluntary one.
A Union upheld by force would be it despotism."
And General Jackson, who is so fre
quently quoted nt the present time by
men and journals who slandered him while
living, said in his farewell address : “ The
Constitution cannot he maintained, nor
the raion preserted, inoppusilion to pub
lic feeling, by the mere exertionof the eo
ereice potters confided to the General
Gocernment."

Marquette is the present only outlet of
the iron mines and manufactories of Lake
Superior. The iron trade of that region
dates only Croni 1853, when the comple
tion of St Mary's canal first permitted
vessels to go from lake to lake without
breaking bulk. Wc gather from the Mar
quette Journal and other sources, the
following statistics of business at that port
since 1855, for iron ore and pig iron.
Shipments for June, 1855, 1,4(7 tons;
1860, 11,207 tons; 1857, 26,284 Ions;
1858, 30,827 tons; 1850, 78,000 tuns;
1800, 160,102 tons. For 1801, prepara
tions are being made to ship 250,000 tons,
which will nut more than supply orders
already being made in advance. The
shipments of pig metal were in 1857, none;
1858,ab0ut2,000 tons ; 1869,5,000 tons;
1860, 0,000 tons; while new furnaces,'
now erected, w ill, in 1801, increase the
shipments to nearly 15,000 tons, for which
the demand has been constantly in excess
of the supply. .

MejJiu. Editors: The Message of Governor
Downey, like almost all of its predecessors, has
mill'll ill it to earnestly engage I lie altenlion of
■ lie luwmakers til Sacramento, us well ns the
people themselves; but unfortunately for the
people, ulna for all things human, there arc
some passages in the ilocnment which ilo but
little credit to Ilia Excellency—the author.
While the (iovernor, in a cleur, intelligible,
succinct strie, worthy of praise noil imitation,
sets forili the condition of the public affairs
mid makes many Bound and judicious recom
mendations, be at the saute time makes some
recommendations and admissions that It is to
be regie,led, neither da credit to his bead nor
his heart. The Governor seems somewhat dis
appointed and displeased at the amount of
revenue derived from " pullUixte," and says;
“ I would suggest that no one be allowed to
vote who has not paid his poll tax.”
Aceidrnt sometimes places men in positions
which neither nature nor education ever de
signed them to till. The whole history of Cali
fornia may justly be called a chapter of accidents
she has suffered from accidents of every
kind, and nnich of her suffering has been caused
hr being under the government of act•ideneiee.
The Constitution of the Slate of California, the
supreme luw i;f thr Stale, for the purpose of
checking hasty or unwise legislation, or the
passage of unconstitutional laws, has granted
to the Governor the reto power. What, then,
must be Ibonght of the qualification to till that
important trust, of the man who makes an un
constitutional recommendation in his message?
In reference to the “ rialti of ettjfrUfjr,” the
Constitution of this Slate, Article 2d, says :
'• Every » Idle male citizen of the Cidled Stales,
and every while mule citizen of Mexico, who
shall have elected to become a citizen of
the Tinted Stales, under the treaty of peace
exchanged and ratified at Querelerò, on the
Until day of May, 1 - iS, of the aye of twenty-one
years, who tholl hare htrn n resident of thr Staff
six uton thr nft prereediny the election, and the
county or il istrici in which he claims hie rote
thirty days, rh.ill he entitled to tote at all elections
which are now or hereafter may bt authorised by
law,”
Again, the latter danse of the ISlh Section
of the Util Article of the Constitution, says:
*' The privilege of free suffrage shall be sup
ported by law s regulating elections, and pro
hibiting, tinder adeguale penalties, all undue
inlluenre» thereon, from power, bribery, tumult
or other improper practices,”
Article 11, Section in,sues; “ Taxation shall
be equal and unifoim throughout the State.
All properly in this Stale shall be taxed <n
proportion to its value, to be ascertained os
directed by law."
The framers of the Constitution evidently
intended, and in language not easily niisdnder
stood, to tlx the qiialilication of a voter in the
fundamental law of the State ; and in a subse
quent clause, directed that laws should be
passed protecting the voter in his constitutional
rights.
No constitutional lawyer could for a moment
hesitate tu pronounce any law requiring a lax,
properly, or any other quali Ileal ion, as uncon
stitutional and void. The Conaiimiiou having
lixed the qualification of a voter, the legisla
ture is thereby estopped and debarred from im
posing any additional qiialilication to entitle the
voter lu his right of suffrage.
From a careful reading ol the Constitution of
this State, in relation to taxation, a doubt must
at once arise, as to whether or not the whole
law in relation to poll taxes is nut unconstitu
tional.
The Constitution evidently inonda property
to be the basis of taxation, as it speaks of no
thing else ns taxable ; but ns properly exists in
almost an jnlinitc number of things, it might
be well to settle, in a legal maimer the consti
tutional question w hether a man's head, more
than his hand or feel, or w hether either consti
tute that species of property contemplated by
the Constitution ns the basis of taxation.
The framers of our election laws look the
correct view of this subject, for they copied in
to the luw the qualification of the voter, rrrtef
tin <> literatim, from the Constitution.
The (iovernor recommends the repeal of
some of the laws now mi our statute hook. The
law passed by the legislature against dueling
should ho repealed, as it is clearly unconstitu
tional and cannot be enforced.
Art. 11, sec. 2, snyat "Any citizen of this
Slate who siisi), after the adoption of this Con
stitution, ligia a duel with deadly weapons, or
send or accept a challenge to fight a duel with
deadly weapons, either within this Stale or nut
of it; or who shall act as second, or knowingly
aid or assiat in any manner Illuse thus offend
ing, shall not he allowed to hold any office of
profit, or to enjoy the right of suffrage under
this Constitution.” This section of the Consti
tution, like all others, requires legislative en
actments to make it effective. The Constitu
tion having specially designated dueling ns a
crime and affixed the penalty, the Legislature
■a thereby debarred from fixing any other nr
additional penally fur this violation of the pub
lic peace. A law should at once be enacted in
strict accordance with this provision uf the
Constitution, aud this relic of barbarism wouM
soon disappear from the presence of respecta
ble men.
Every member of the Assembly and Senate,
before entering on Ids respective office, must
take and subscribe I lie followingosth or affirm
ation ; •• I do solemnly swear (or affirm, as the
case may be.) that I will suppuri the Constitu
tion of the United States and the Constitution
of the State of California, and that I will faith
fully disi lunge the duties of the office of
to the best of my ability.”
It must be evident from the foregoing, that
members of the Assembly and Senate cannot
vote fur or elect to any office any man who hat
fought, or been a second, or sided and abetted
in any duel, since the adoption of the Constitu
tion, without a clear violatimi of their consti
tutional tallii, lit Ibe absence of any statute
luw, tbo violation may not be legal perjury!
but lite ban of the Constitution, which they
hare solemnly sworn lu support, resit on the
offender, and their support of him is such a vi
olation of their constitutional oath as to, at
least, amount tu moral perjury.
The (Inventor, speaking of our Federal rela
tions, says : “ Let the people of the Territories
olone settle the question of domestic slavery
within they- borders, and be admitted into the
Union with or without s slavery clause in their
Constitution. The precise lime st which the
people of a Territory should be enabled to de
cide this question can be settled by tbs Act of
compromise itself. This difference otrlshily it
not u( sufficient importance to canoe n dissolu
tion of the Union ; and although I in common
with n very large portion of the North and
South, as manifested by the recent sleclion,
hare always beliered that Ihs people, at all ps
rimls of thair existence, hate control of this sub
ject,’’ Ac. The Governor thinks lbs people of
a Territory should settle the slavery question
for themselves, but at wbat time in their Ter
ritorial life they shall settle thiadomestic ques
tion ha docs not indicate, bat says, be “ always
believed that the people, at all periods of their
existence, have control of this subject.” This
admission of the Governor of bis life-long be
lief does not argue well for the political honesty
of bis heart. If any iaaus before the people
was ever fairly made, or any question clearly
decided by the people at the ballot box, it wan
the Lecompton policy of the Administration,
at the election when the Governor was a candi
date for Lieutenant Governor on the Democratic
ticket. If thu Governor then held the senti
ments be now boldly avows in bis message, be
practiced n political fraud npon bia party that
never should aud uever will be furgiven.

Telegraph Matters—Report »f the
Late Secretary.
T., the Sl‘*HM<n of the PlaetrriUt airi Ham-
Ifolilt TtUyrafih Cvlojiariy.
UiNTLKKUt : Mott Ilf .voti infested your mon
ey in the summer and fall of 1858 fur Ibe pur
pose of liiiring it applied toward constructing
■n overland telegraph line, starting fumi I’la
cervillc. From that lime to the present very
few of yon have ever received any information
relative to the manner in which it has been
managed, its past or present financial condition,
and ti - lay remain ignorant of ila future pros
pects. With the view of giving information to
those interested, I purpose having published
the follow ing statement of facts.
K. A. Bee became your President at your
Brat organisation— a position be has retained
all the w hile ; and for about the first sixteen
months he also acted bolh as collector and dia*
burner of the funds raised on subscription of
stuck. No objections ever being made by you,
he assumed the entire management and conlro|
of the enterprise. Yonr failure to place any
checks npon his morements manifested s de
gree of confidence in bis capacity and integ.
city that might be regarded as extremely Hal
tering to him, Some of yon still feel satisfied
to allow him to continue as heretofore, and a
few of you, who have recently become the
owners of a share or two of stuck each, are
anxious that ho be entrusted with unlimited
power.
The following will give you some facts of the
past :
According to the admission of Mr. Dee, he
collected for you thirteen thousand two hun
dred dollars; and it is now about twelve
months since he has acted in the capacity of
collector. Yet, up to this lute day, there can
be no book or statement found in the oltire "j
the Company that will give the correct amount
of his expenditures ; therefore, no know ledge
can be obtained as to the cost of yonr line.
He made a report at meeting in
September, 1859, purporting to have given the
oust of the line from I’lacerville to (icnoa, but
timi report has never been made a matter of
record, neither has it ever been seen or heard
. of by the Company since the night if was sub
mitted to them. Shortly after this report
was submitted by Mr. Bee, he left for the At
lantic States, leaving no books or papers in
possession of the Company that would answer
as the Ica-t guide toward ascertaining the
amount ol bis expenditures. During I.is ab
sence many of you made inquiries, alinosi daily,
as to the cost of the line, its financial condi
tion, etc. We all knew that there were sonic
; debts against the Company, and that the line
had coat something, hut the iiiiiuiidl, in either
case, we had no means of ascertaining. Infor
mation could only he gathered from those who
atd been engaged in its construction, and from
lindi information we supposed that the line
mid cost somewhere between eight and ten
thousand dollars, and that the indebtedness
was about one thousand or twelve hundred
dollars. [ln paving Ilia old debts, we learn
that our ratiniate was nut far out of the n ay. {
circumstance», the Board of Di
rectors felt it their duly to require of Sir. Bee,
•n bis return, an account of bis mailers with
■lie Company, w bicb they immediately did.
In rendering his account, be charges the Com
pany with live thousand dollar? for his ser
vices, and |1,T91 •"<> as paid to J. D. laird A

to Hubbard A Strong, of Sacramento, for wire,

I arillcn to, asking for a statement of the

the use of your line from the lime of its first

M : *24 04 of this amount still unpaid
liubburd and Strong were also written in like
, manner and they answer, “ never aold a pound."
, The Board of Directors appointed lliree prue
■ lira) business men and expert accountants.
Messrs. Ileo. M. Coiuh-c, Ileo. F. Jones and
I Theo. K. Tracey, to examine into the account of
i Mr. Bee and other otDccra and agents of the
j Company. The following is an extract filini
I Ihcir report ;
, •• We have dilligenlly and thoroughly exam
ined all the accounts mid books appertaining to
j the transactions of yonr I’rcsiduit, F. A. Bee,
( and it is impossible for ns to arrive »l a sutis
-1 factory conclusion as to lite manlier in which
I he haa collected sud expended the funds uflbe
| company. The manner m which lie renders
bis account is not satisfactory to your commit,
i tee, and we urgently recommend to you the
| important and absolute necessity of riferì ing
the Dialler to some special agent, or to the
meeting of the stockholders, or to whoever
' you, id your wisdom, may consider proper,
with such powers as will lead Id a definite and
1 just settlement. We have not hud poser to
! pass upon the correctness or incorrectness of
any accounts that might be presented to us
but have understood our duty to be that of an
investigating Committee, and to point out what
ever inconsistencies that we might discover,
and make such recommendations ■■ the result
of our search w ould justly prompt us to do. It
will be seen by the summing up of the account
as presented by the President, on another sheet,
that the Company is indebted to him in Ibe
: sum of «1,908 91. This, in the opinion of your
; Committee, is gravely incorrect The Billow
ing presents ■ statement which allows some

Mr. Bee made an entry on B bonk to-day
which purports to be one.giving the nemes of
: those to whom stock baa been issued. That
| presents the appearance of fight shares of stock
j .issued to him, and if lUiaatock should be Isaued
I to him, it would increase the above amount to
«5,817 29.
Mr. Bee cbargoi the Company with «0,055,-
70. and presente noevidencea of payment. Ateo,
bring! a charge against the company of «5,000,
ee salary while acting for the Company,
bnlh of which charges should be adjusted some
way nr another as early as possible. We be
lieve it to be unjust lu allow the sum of «5,-
000, particularly when be fails to give isti»-
, factory evidence of whet haa become of the
funds collected by him fur the Company.”
The report containing the above extract was
presented to the Board of Directors on the
night of Sept, lit, 16(0. Your meeting, of the
fid September last being an near at band, the
Board referred the report to you. You, with
out endorsing or even reading Ifaa report, re
ferred it to the Board of Director*, you elected
at that meeting, fur adjustment. This Board
haa acted upon it Their action make* Mr.
Bee the owner of fifteen shares of stock, veined
at «100 each, and «till due him from the Com
pany «1,958 24. Now, here is a calculation for
you. Mr. Bee, in presenting hi* account,
chargee the Company with over «700 more fur
wire than he bought and paid for. In Ibe lame 1
account the committee mark several charge*
having been mad* larice, and tome aa high as
three times; sad charges for bis service* «s,-
000, leaving * balano* in hi* favor of «1,9*8 91.
The Board, with tb* report of the Commute*
before them, with the knowledge of the differ
ence between the amount of wire charged and
the amount paid for, reduo* tb* amount Mr.
Bee chargee for service* from «5,000 to «1,400;
and then bring In a balance doe Bee Ibm the
Company of «1,958 94, and the owner of «1,600
of aUfck of tb* company. At tb* tatua time,
unable to find the aligblcat shadow of evidence
on the books of the Compatì y, when Bee ever
paid one cent into the Company.
As it has been intimated that A. W. Bee
would present a bill for services rendered, it
may not be improper, perhaps, to say a word or
two in regard to bis collection with the Com
pany. It is claimed, both by biniseli and
brother,* F. A. Bee) that he has been the Agent
of the Company for two years ; yet there ia
nothing to be found on record or on Hie that
will substantiate the fact. His name appears ;
but twice within the li is of the book*. The
first time is where one share of stock wsa ,
issued to him ; the other and last, when he was
made a Director in I»Ù9. The one share of
stock, which he appears to be the owner of,
has, according to the books of the Company,
never been paid for. I understand that A. W.
Bee has on tw o occasions been appointed by
the President and Secretary of the Company to
perform two special acts. One in 1858, author
ising him to sell stock for the Company. The
other in 186»*, to pul in a bid for a contract
with Government. Neither of those appoint
ments were ever ratified by the Board, and no
report has ever been made by him to the Com
pany giving the amount of stock sold by bim v
or report of any kind. Had he been the legally
appointed agent of the Company, with such
powers as it is now claimed he has held, why
the necessity of sending him the special au
thority last Summer? In 18óf», A. D. Waldron
was appointed by the Board of Directors to act
as their Eastern Agent, and none other. There
would be more consistency in his coming hack
and demanding a salary, than there would be
in A. W. Bee** for two years services.
The following is s copy of the financial por.
(ion of the report I had prepared for your meet

you never asked for its reading, and as the
Stock was almost entirely represented by pros
ics, few Stockholders present, 1 cared but little

Messìi*. Editors: In a note appended to my
article on ** Government,” you ssy ; ** It is un
derstood that the Constitutional Convention
was defeated/* Now, «with due deference to
your •• must be permitted to
say that yon had no official facts or figures lo
base a correct opinion upon. True, the Sacra
mento i’nioH , upon sinning or adding (he roles
cast at Ibe lute election for President and Vice
President, alated that the Convention question
hod been defeated by a majority of 173 votes,
taking the vote fur President as the baaia of its
calculation.
Article X, sec. 2, of the Constitution, says:
“ And if at any time two-thirds of the Senate
and Assembly shall think it necessary to revise
or change (his entire Constitution, they shall
recommend to (he electors, at the next election
far tn-mUre of the Legislature, to vole for or
against the Convention ; and if it shall appear
that a majority of the electors voting at such
election have voted in favor of calling a Con
vention, (he Legislature shall, at ita next tesa
ion, provide by law for calling a Convention,
to be bolden within six months after the pas
sage of such law ; and such Convention shall
consist of a number of members not lesa than
that of both branches of tbe Legislature.”
I My experience in legislation tells me that tbe
duty of tbe Committee on Elections is lo count
, fur each of tbe members of their body, as well
as all (be votes cant for all persona who were
candidates before the people for a seat in their
body; and from many years study of the sci
ence of Government and Constitutional law, I
| am satisfied that a correct construction of the
foregoing section of the Constitution, will re
quire the average vote in each county in tbe
State fur members of the Legislature (and not
for President, Governor or anybody else,) to
determine whether tbe Constitutional Conven
tion question was carried or defeated by the
vole of tbe people. Until the Committee on
Elections shall make their report, showing con
clusively by the figures tbst a majority of tbe
vote* east for members of the Legislature were
also cast against a Constitutional Convention.
I am not disposed to take for granted tbe ipse
dixit of the Governor, tbe political genius who
presides over tbe columns of the Union, or any
body else. FRANKLIN.
Ukrmitagb, January 29tb, 1861.
[We stand corrected. The conteat ia jet un
decided, and bow the Committee will report la
a matter of conjecture. We were led into er
ror by seeing it announced, unoflkially, how
ever, that Ibe Convention bad been defeated by
a small majority.]
Ldckt Ctsaas.—O. ||. Ooodee and James B.
Hume were tbe joint owners of tbe ticket that
drew tbe three hundred dollaro In cash in Baras
and Warwick’s gilt eaterpriro. They gener
ously gave to tbe Nule boy who drew tbenom
bers,twenty dollars;-* good act, but “justlike
*em.** _
Probats.—Magdalen Watt baa been appoint
ed executrix of tbe last will and testament of
Ronald F. Walt, deceased, ber late husband.
The
tVc opposed the reaolutkm* of censure ;
at the lime of Iheir introduction not deem
ing the conduct of Broderick of sufficient
importance to occupy the time of the j
Legislature. They, however, were in
troduced and passed, and Mr. Broderick,
magnifying his own importance and pop
nlarity, personally appealed from the
Legislature to the people, and the people,
by a decisive majority, sanctioned the
verdict of the Legislature. This was af- :
ter they had ampia time to investigate and [
reflect, but before the Black Ucpublican
party presented a furiniiiable front. The
question then was a living issue, snd Mr. 1
Broderick, forcibly and vehemently placed
his own case before the people, but failed
to convince them that their representa
tives had acted improperly or had unjust
ly censured him. During the last canvass
his friends judiciously kept silent on the
subject of expunging Ibe resolutions of
censure, and so fearful were they of a
second and like verdict of the people, that
they refused to even listen to the reading
of resolutions in their conventions in
structing their nominees, in the event of
their election, to vole for expunging reso
lutions. We are stating well known and
indisputable facts. The Douglas County
Convention met in this city on the 2'Jlh
of last August, and Mr. David James, a
delegate and devoted friend of the dead
Menatoi, on the 3utli, offered the following
resolution, amid intense excitement, which
the President refused him permission to
read :
“ I,‘if Jrr I, That ibe nominee* of tliU Con-
Trillion are lietelit insirtieleri to an all honor*
able means, if elected, to procure Ibe expung
ing of I lie* resolution* passed by die le-s'islalnre
of this Stale in ieóv, censuring tbe late Band
C. 11l oderiek.'*
They «ero afraid to make it an issue
and evaded it by tbe dexterity of the
President of the Convention, w ho, in de
fiance of Parliamentary usage, with wbieh
be was familiar, with imperlurahlc cool
ness, ruled it out of order sod ordered
the introducer of it to lake his seat. The
Bepublieans. we believe, in a majority of
their conventions adopted a resolution
similar to the one alette, which (he Dong
lastlus rejected, and tbe two factions hav
ing, by accident, carried the legislature,
Mr. O'Biien introduced expunging resolu
tions in the Assembly, and on Friday of
last week they passed timi sympathetic
body by the following vote, which we
place upon record for future use. Willi
