. Bhe Baily Bri NEVADA CTTY. CALIFORNIA, — +m ee JULY och, . 18 68. UNION “RIGRET. GENERAL ULYSSES 8. GRANT SCHUYLER COLFAX. malicious old disturter who disgraces the office of President of the United. "States, has issued a proclamation which is the crowning outrage of his administration. On the 3d-of July, on the eve _. of the meeting of the Democratic Con. (vention, Johnson proclaimed amnesty ~ to-all persons who had directly or indirectly participated in the rebellion, except those under indictment, and re_ Stores all ‘their sights except. as. to ___&fe now pending, by élaves and property of which they were legally divested under the laws. _ By what right does Johnson isene uch & proclamation? Under . what “plea does he, with: single stroke of the pen sweep away tlie enactments of Congress which he himself obeyed for nearly four years?. What right has he by proclamation to discontinue or alter the condition of ‘people of the United States or any part of them-efter he was.denied the authority of Congress in the premises? What authority can he or his friends find for overthrowing by.a single act a dozen laws of the United States which have been passed ig accordance with the’ provisions of the Constitution and not held invalid by the Supreme Court? He has overthrown . the reconstruction law, trampled upon _ the State constitutions of the Southern States and disregarded the provisions of the constitutional amendments which issuing his proclamation. Johnson may claim that he is not bound to obey any law passed by & body “hanging upon the verge of the own words and overthrowing his own policy, when he by his edict sets aside a State Constitution. This last act of usurpation ought to be punished, and . if Congress does not now impeach it disregarded the laws of the land, but ignored the existence of the Supreme Court. He has combined in himself the Legislative, Judicial and Executive authority of the government, and taken a step which is fraught with danger to the government and an encroachment upon the liberties of the people. It is not the Republican party or its policy which is threatened, but it is the Constitution and the peace of the country. Ifa President may trample upon laws, override Courts and legislate for States we might as well abolish our Courts, call home our Representatives and establish a monarchy. The people have ignored Johnson's policy, and he is now attempting to fulfil Seward’s prophecy _ by making himself a King. Having failed to rule the conntry so as to accomplish his personal and political ends,~~ ‘he is determined to ruin. No man who has ever occupied public position was 60 muehi influenced by malice and ‘hate as Johnson. He has no policy except to revenge imagined wrongs and cares for nothing except to rule so as to accomplish his purposes, It is a disgrace tothe country that he has been so long permitted to continue in evil. On his trial he escaped by one vote and yet there was not so grave an offence charged against himas he has committed by issuing this proclamation. _ It may be the end of impeachment is not yet. A PoPuLAR SUPERINTENDENT.-— The Shasta Courier says Hoa. J. P. Jones has lately been appointed Super. intendent of the Crown Point mine, Nevada, ata salary of “five thousand _ dollars per. annum. He also receives the same amount as Superintendent of 2 cee Cham, ke Sch notatnated to run another mine adjacent to the Crown ~ Point, Ten thousand dollars. year is} better than the “Lieutenant Governor© hip of California. Tux New York Herald threatens in ,. Git basa ttth a ected tino the Paor. Ciniain sie tlh Theatre on.‘ y evening. His lecture was inteniled as a replication to the article of John RB. Mo 4n the Examiner some tnonths ‘ince, entitled “The Negro’s Place in Natare.” If better read and toned down, Prof. Gil liard would not be without pretensions asan orator. At times he does well. Bat his sentences are oft’ times too long. and sometimes not as complete as Lindley Marray might exact. Be had better consult a good dictionary as thereby he might improve his pronunbetter, before proceeding on 4 lectaring The intentions of the colored orator are doubtless all correct, but he certainbasis of his lecture is a grand error his cause thereby. There is enough in the life of Toussaint l'Ouverture and many other members of the African race, to show that the Negro has eapacities of a high order, and that when the degrading influences on the race have been ovércome its attainments will be of no mean character. Prof. Gilliard makes a great mistake when he claims the ancient Egyptians and Carthage-Mians as Ethiopians; and. their civilizations a8 originating in the Negro race. The claim is utterly without foundation. . The portraits of the Pharaohs as sculptured on the rocks, represent them with a high arched nose, the very reverse of the negro, since the curve is outward, giving the nose an aquiline appearance. The lips are not as thick as those of the Negro. Satisfactory the Ethiopian race is found in the mummies, among which are found no features, sculls, or hair of the Negro type. The fact that the Negro peculiarities ‘ure caricatured’ on the monuments of} Egypt, is evidence that the Egyptians were not Negroes or they would not thus have burlesqued themselves. The . sphinxes are supposed to be likenesses of the Pharaohs, and the flat noses of those monsters are sometimes taken as proof that the Egyptians were Negroes but it seems to be satisfactorily established in the minds of Egyptologists that the noses of the sphinxes have. the Egyptians were dark,and approaching black is not doubted. They were probably, according to scholars, a mixture of the indigenous Nilotic and Pelasgic stock. The language was Semitic, and allied to the Hebrew, as was that of Carthage. The claim that the Carthagenians, or any of their great generals, were Ethiopians has not a shadow of foundation. It is conceded on all hands tliat Carthage was settled by Phoenicians, who were closely allied to the ancient Hebréws, and had none of the peculiarities of the Negro. We would suggest to Prof. Gilliard that if he desires to reply successfully . lev to John R. McConnell, a shorter lecture and more to the point would be more satisfactory than an hour's laudation of Egyptians and Carthagenians who did not belong to the race whose capacities he desires to defend. THE pirate Semmes and his Seid ‘hung a taw.#hingle out in Mobile, and have fora client a lottery dealer named Marks, whom they claim is not amenable to the laws of Alabama because his place of business is in the United States Custom-house. The Secretary of the, Treasury has informed the virtuous Semmes that the United States Government does not erect buildings to shield criminals. The pirate, therefore, has again written to the Secretary, in ‘reply to his letter, taking a highly dignified and pompous stand, and addressing the Secretary in very disreNo Cuanck.—As it takes 212 votes to nominate, and Pendleton’s highest was only 122} the chances are that he cannot win. Several of the candidates, such as Packer, Parker and Church, being little: known, one. ‘of them inay loom up as Victor yet. “The leas a man is known a8 a Democtat the ‘better. his . ties ghances of an election. ly falls into a great many errors. The} itself. He claims too much, and hurts}: proof that the Egyptians were not of . been fattened by Arab iconoclasts. That . Coming with his certificate of election by nigger votes, is it ‘possible that the Democratic members in Congress who represent the “White Man's party will ever submit to his taking a seai among antly returned by the votes of Oregon, ever contaminate his ‘white’ record by sitting in the sa with a fel.low Democrat sent there by the nigger votes of a Georgia District? ‘Will the Democracy, will they, we ask, ever sub: tour through this or any os Democratic principles?” » AxoTHEen Kuo Kiwx.

The rebels of the place have subjected him to many indignities, and, on Friday last,he was assailed by a party of young men with brickbats and severely injared. On Sunday he learned that a of the rebels. had resolved to kill him, and he left the place that night under escort of a.strong rd of colored men,who accompanied im to a railroad station some miles distant, whenee he tock the ears-for Memphis.
