TLe Senate met yerterday and was j temporarily organized by the election of Hon. R. B. Cochran, (Democrat) of Lane county as President, on mo tion of his colleague, Hon. W. W. BriStow, and S. C. Simpson as Clerk. A committee oij credentials was ap pointed,"wheu the Senate adjourned until o'clock iji the afternoon. At that hour the i-enate reassembled, and tho eommitivo made their report, which contaim the names hereto fore publisheif Ji the Exteiu-hise. After the adoptwn of the report, the members were sworn in by Hon. S., P. Chadwick, Secretary of State. This was all that was done, when the adjournment was had till this morn ing at 10 o'clock, at which hour the Senate met, and after the reading of journal of yesterday, proceeded to a permanent organization. Hon. John Myers, of Clackamas, was placed in nomination for President, bv Hon. Wm. Townsend of Yamhill. On the first ballot Mr. Myers received four teen votes, being the entire Demo cratic strength, arl Hons. Bristow of Lane, and Owens of Douglas, In dependents. On the second ballot he received thirteen votes, Mr. Owens voting blank. After two or three more ballots, with substantially the same results, the Senate adjourned until 2 o'clock r. m. Oa the reas sembling of the Senate, Mr. Myers withdrew his name, and placed in nomination Hon. 11. B. Cochran who received sixteen votes on tho first ballot, and was declared duly elect ed. A committee, consisting of Hons. Cornelius and Myers, was ap- pointed to conduct the President to j pbiia statements the total value the chair, who took his seat, making j 0f property in this State is 0v;0!h), a few very appropriate and timely j p00-and there will have to be raised remarks, thanking the members for j fur state purposes for the- present the honor conferred upon him, and nsCal vear tho following amounts: assuring them that he would di.s- j chargo his duty faithfully and hon- estly to the best of Ids abilities. 3rr.

Tho House effected a temporary organization by the election of Hon. J. C. Drain (Independent), of Doug las county, who was placed in nom ination by Hon. "VY". J. Plymale, of Jackson, and Col. "VY. L.

Tho latter then has not vet been aeeomnlished. the i I'l'nred a knife siud ttdd Cos. not to Democrats supporting W. Y. Fidler Josephine, thoIndepeudents, Hon. J. C. Drain, and the Radicals, C. A. Reed, of Marion. At present writ ing, I am unable to conjecture what will be the result, but those who ap pear to bo informed, think that an organization will bo affected to-morrow morning. I trust it may, as tl e people desire their Representatives to go to wors ana ao tne legislation required. Mr Mrers. of Clackamas, had rc coirevi xae uuiuiLiiLivi of the Senate at the hands of the Democratic caucus, but finding that some of tho Independents objected j to supporting him on that account, he Seoerousl, wi.Udw UU nam, and placetl in nomination Hon. it. R. Cochran, who had not been so endorsed. While we should have considered Clackamas highly honor ed by having the President of the Senate, we are satisfied that Mr. Myers showed a proper and com mendable snirit of concession by withdrawing ul allowing an old. tried and tru. V)emocrat to be elect- ed without fuTTher delay The Senate "V ii mloT , number of old ana experienced member in it, and if they will act in harmony, can ac- I coinplish much needed legislation. !T.heHou"e " composed almost en- I tirely of new members, and it will take it a few days after its organiza tion, before it can get to work with constituents to the best of their hon est judgment. Both houses are an improvement on former Legislatures, and we predict that they will have a good reeoid to bring home to tho people that sent them here. Wkixi-sday, Sept 10, 1874. The House mat this morning and on the third ballot elected Hon. J. C. Drain, Independent, of Douglas, Speaker; Col. W. L. White, Demo crat, of Clackamas, was elected Chief Clerk, on tho first ballot; A. E. Broth wick, Iladical, of Multnomah, Assistant Clerk; J. B. Stearns, of )on,rlas Independent, Engrossing Clerk; M. H. Abbott, of Umatilla, Enrolling Clerk, and E. C. Ha.laway, Scrgeant-at-Arms. After trying to elect a Door Keeper, the Hquso ad journed until 2 o'clock this after noon. It will be seen from the above election, in the House, that the Independents were determined to mix things up, and succeeded in do ing so. If they propose to do so during the remainder of the session, we apprehend that it will bo rather mixed results they will get. It is doubtful whether the House will do much more than entirely organize to-day, and tho vote for Governor will probably not be counted before io-morrow. There are probably a dozen candidates for Door Keeper of the House, and fully that number for Page. The Senate has not yet elected a Pago, and the contest yes terday was close between Masters McConuell, Galloway and Brown, the two former receiving eleven votes eah, and the latter eight. The Senate is to try again thi; afternoon. The Senate will take up the contest case from Washington county to morrow. Cornelius wants to kno.v whether he is going home or not. Tho State Temperance Union is in session here and with the legisla ture and State Grange meeting at the saim timo, the town is full t its utmost capacity. Heavy Taxes.

Albert H. Rrown has appointed our fellow citi zan, J. H. Hackleman, as his Assist ant State Treasurer. This is a mer ited compliment to the sterling De mocracy of Linu as well as a just re cognition of Mr. Hackleman's integ rity and ability. Mr. Rrown has done himself infinite credit in this selection, and has 'handsomely com plimented the people of Linn for the very flattering support which they gave him in tho late election. hit him again or he would cut him Cox, nothing daunted, then picked up a piece of firewood and knocked him down on his knees, when John son, unintentionally or otherwise, as if to shield his head, threw out his arms, and the knife, which he still held in his hand, penetrated Cox's body killing him instantly.

The conven tion then nominated JTlisha Baxter Governor by a vote of ol to 10 for all other candidates.

The Constitution of California de clares these lights to be inalienable. By consequence the Constitution has not attempted to restrict the power of the Legislature over these rights. It declares in substance that Govern ment has no power over them, and that therefore the people, the source of Government cannot delegate what they themselves never had. lhe j-ijruts of property, life, liberty and the pursuit of "happiness precede government, and the. only limitation of these lights is the rule that they shall not be used to the injury of others. A man has a right to abuse his own property, providing that in so doinc he does no iniurv to anoth er. In other words, his natural rights can only be bound, limited or restricted by the natural rights of others. Tho acts which a man can bo prohibited from exercising over himself or his property must be di- rCetlv and necessarily injurious to others. He cannot be prevented from using or abusing his own -property merely because other individuals or tho community are indirectly injured thereby. The Legislature has delegated to it by the people all the civil rights which the people had, subject to the restriction of the Constitution. Among the rights thus delegated is the power of regulating the rights of tn'ooertv of the individual in such a manneiMhat the exercise of his rights ! Gf natural rights of other individuals. j i;t if the Legislature should, under j ti,e pretext of regulating the rights j 0f individ uals." nass laws for the our- because the Constitution expressly declares that the rights of property are inalienable from the individual, j iilu therefore gives no power to th( I Legislature to tatke from a man wha (.:lunot be taken from him. If th lie Lt e f Legislature should attempt to exer- i ,,:s. ,;s ,,0wer wliie!i tho ( 'otistitu- i f,-.., it l, w i,.-wt ,ni-..n t, tl... Ijei'islature, because the people it self had no such oower to delegate. i tje uf the Legislature would be void, and the courts are the proper judges as to wheihcr the law of tlie Legislature is a proper exorcist; of the power conferred upon it by the Constitution, or whether the law i: j aI. usurpation of a power which tho to the m.iividu.d, and never ivmulvI in the mass of the people. The right of a man to use and dis pose; of wines, beers, liquors, etc., is a natural right of property, and can lv- litkk.t-o.l n- l-r t rif toil lv the Legislature so far as the exercise of that right interferes with theexercise of the rig tits of others. The possi bility that one tnan may use thes;? articles if property to excess, and su iI:jUi-e himself or be dangerous to i should be deprived of tho right to use or dispost; (,f these ai iicle.s. If a man u.es these articles in excess to his own injury only, and not to the injury of others, he is exercising the right of abusing his own property, and blameworthy, is not within the prohibitory power of the law. If he, through an execs dve use of these arti cles, becomes dangerous to others lit! then becomes amenable to the law. Rut the article, the abuse of which ! has led to his thus becoming danger j ons, cannot be taken away from oth- ers wuo are capaoio oi using it in a proper manner. Were an article capable of proper and wholesome use is also capable of being used to excess and thus pro duce misery, the simple possibility of its b ing used to excess does not prevent it from being proportv. - It would only give a right to the Legis lature to regulate the uso of such article, but not prohibit the use or dispositiou of it. The law of this State in regard to liquors is a law prohibiting the use and disposition of them, is not a law regulating such use and disposition. Its evident and manifest purpose is to prevent the use and disposition of these articles of property, and not to throw around the use and disposition of them such safeguards as will in sure the proper and legitimate use and disposition. The hiw is not re strictive and regulative, it is prohib itory in its nature, lt is therefo -e void, and this court is the proper tri bunal to declare it so. We contend, then, that this law is an usurpation by the Legislature of a right not delegated to it, but ex pressly declared by the Legislature to be undelegatable. It is an in fringement on the inalienable rights of the man. First of the Gn.ux Fleet. Tho Oregon ian of the RHh inst. says that for some time past there has been considerable rivalry between the barks lLrinne and Alumlid as to which vessel should complete its cargo lirst. Rut tho honor, it seems, belongs to the Alvmhn. This vessel has taken on board about 700 tons of wheat, and this evening will proceed down the river. At Astoria she will finish loading for Liverpool. The Ahthiini, when loaded, will carry hence about 1,100 tons. As she will be the first of the grain tleet which will leave this port the present year. Captian Thomas feels not a little prolvl over the fact. In honor of this h will display all his bunting to-day, and just prior to his depart ure from the wharf will tire a salute of 21 guns, and send off a number of sky-rockets. R. C.
