visions of he law. We then Published the secton
which points out the duties Of the Governor. We
rspublsh II now.
That whenever the seat Of any Representative
shall become vacant, it shall be the duty.oi the
Governor, qcithin fee days after being officially
informed Of such vacancy, issue his writ OF elec-
ton to supply SUCH vacancy, directed 70 the proper
returning officer whose duty it shall be, WITHIN
three DAYS after the receipt Of such writ, TO give
public notice that an election will be held 70 OIL
such vacancy, on day to be named by him, when

days after the publication Of such notice, eic.
Nearly four months have elapsed since three Of !

80. II the Extra Session is published. Il is
yerv ssident that the persons elected on July
| MI, will not receive any thing like the number
:Fvotes which would be cast in November. Much
the larger portion Of those who absent themselves
during the summer belong TO one party; and this
fact gives rise TO suspicion, that the time Of the
election is fixed with view to insure the triumph
ii the opposite party. This is all wrong. The
majority ought to rule, and any deviation from the
law, which has tendency to deprive that majority
Of its rightfnl power, is deadly blow at popular
| government
The gentlemen, whose resignation have caused
the vacancies, are all democrats and it is just to
suppose that party has the majority fair trial
| But, at any rate, a moment should not be chosen
for the election, when large number Of one Of the
great parties are out Of the city. Had the
Governor complied literally with the requirements
Of the law, the election would have been held in
the spring, and at time when all the voters at
home, One vacancy was caused by the death Of
Preston w. Farror, the Speaker, who died during
the Session The Proclamation does not provide
for any election to supply the vacancy. There are
doubtless, good reasons for this omission, though

TELEGRApH SuIT.-The q. Circuit Court, a
Boston, at latest dates, was still engaged in tn
trial Of the suit between the patents Of Morse ant
House On the part Of the defendants it is con
tended that Morse is not the originator of any POI
ton of the telegraph except the method Of notation
g which compared with the application Of the mag
e netc fluid is very insignificant. Scientific men has
u had no hesitation in saying that Morse is entitl'
only to the suggestion of electro magnetism 4
as means Of telegraphing, but Of which he made
IL practical application And even this claim is d
s. puted by DR.. c. T. jackson, who says that on th
