THK LEOISLATl'llE SENATE.
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

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

people desire their Representatives

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

It will doubtless be exceedingly
gratifying to many citizens of "Old
Linn" to learn that Hon. 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.

The InalienaMe Kights of Man.
In ar Recent argument by IIn. J.
B. Felton. one of the ablest lawyers
ou tbis cost before the Supreme
. . ' . t,,,nt:tinn
Court of California, ou the question
of the constitutionality of the Local
Option law, and as this question is
likelv to come Uefore the Legislature
we hope every member will read
that gentleman's remarks. He said:
The law in direct opposition to the
natural rights of man as laid down
iu the declaration of rights in the
Constitution of California.
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. Kinney & Sons
are the firm chartering the Alumiid.
