MR.. BARNUM AND LOLA Monies.
The New York Courier denies that
Mr.: Barnum has anything to do with
the importation of Lola Montes. He
received overtures to this end but de-
clined them. Lola, we see it stated
in an English paper, comes on her own
account. We should suppose, from
some of the events of her life, that
she knew how to manage her own
business herself.

DISTRICT JRDGEsulr.-The gu
preme Court, with full bench, have
decided that Mr.. Barbour, the newly
elected District Judge, is the proper
incumbent for the tenth Judicial Dis.
trict, and given him the position over
Gordon N. Mott, who held his position
by virtue Of an appointment by the
Governor.
The Court held that
E'Incase ola vacancy happening after
the first session, Sec. 9Th. Art. 9Th.
provides, not that the Legislature shall
appoint, but the government shall have
power to fill such vacancy by grant
ing a commission which shall expire
at the end the next session of the
Legislature, OF at the next election of
the people. fthesappointment of the
District Judge could not be made by
the Legislature. why is the commission
to expire at the end of the session
The object of this clause seems to be
to enable the Legislature to make the
appointment, if it is the duty of that
body to do so, by the Constitution or
laws, or to enact laws for the purpose,
the people could not otherwise elect
but if they could elect, then the COM
mission is limited TO the paied of an
election, and not TO the end of ses-
sion of the Legislature. The 9Th sec,
tion, referred to, does not authorise
the Executive to supply the vacancy
for the term. 1t contemplates that
either the Legislature Or the people
shall supply the balance of the unex-
pired term.
The constitution not authorizing
the executive to fill the vacancy to the
end Of the term, this power must be
exercised by the people Of the Legis-
lature. The Legislature, if possessing
such power, have conferred it OH the
people by this statute, and it will not
be questioned that if the Constitution
had been silent upon the mode of APP
pointment to office, the Legislature
could delegate the power to the peo-
pie, to elect to every office, judicial
and civil. 1t is contended that the
Executive appointment should con-
tinue to the end Of the term. This
is not the language of the instrument,
and must only be supported by in
ference-and we will not by impli-
cation confer that power upon the
Executive which is so repugnant to
the spirit and policy of the con
stitution,
The words "next election by the
people" the Legislature has construed
to mean the next election after the
vacancy happens. We see no reason
to believe that any other was intended
If the next general judicial election
was intended for District Judges, it
would so have been expressed"
We learn from the Transcript, that
Judge Barbour holds his first court at
Vernon on the 9th instant. A large
amount of business has accumulated
during the interim awaiting the de.
cision of the Supreme Court,

THE GREAT BRITAIN.-This mon
ster screw steamer, once commanded
by the popular captain Hoskin, and
unhappily stranded upon the coast of
England about four years ago, has
been restored, and will soon sail be-
tween Liverpool and New York. Her
engines will be of 500 horse power
nominally, but will work up to 600.
BY the construction of deck-house
and space saved by the new boilers,
she will probably carry more than
1000 tons of cargo in excess of her
previous burthen. She is to accom-.
modate 250 first class passengers.
Instead Of five masts, as formerly, she
has four, but she will spread upon
these 5000 square yards of canvass.

LARGE ROBBERY Thursday even
ing last, about dusk, DR.. Daniel Mead
of this city left his house, and was alb
sent about ten minutes. At his return
he found his door had been burst open,
and sum in gold dust somewhat over
three thousand dollars stolen from u
trunk. There wcre two trunks in the
room, both Of which were broken open,
and their contents thrown about.
This case exhibits some peculiarly
hard features. DR.. Mead has been in
this country about three years, has been
an Industrious miner, and by economy
and hard work has gradually accumu-
lated his little pile, and was about to
return to his family in the States, from
which he has been 50 long absent. This
heartless robbery throws him back where
he started, three years ago, and destroys
the sunny hopes Of many day. H0
has offered the large reward OF S50O for
the recovery Of the money and the de-
lection of thief; and We trust our pslice
officers in the vicinity and State will bs
vigilant to catch the william who has
committed the depreciation, and get back
his ill-gotten gain. Dr. Mead informs
US that he thinks he has got slight
clue to the robber, and thus has q little
hope of recovering the money for which
he has toiled SO long. We really hope
he may succeed. If the robber ever
sees Nevada again, and is known, he
may find his way out of il at the end of
rope-and then be too we'll served.

Geological Survey OF the State.


We had the pleasure to-day, Of max
ing the acquaintance Of Dr. John B.
Trask, gentleman of high scientific
attainments, who is engaged in the ar
duous and difficult task Of making full
geological survey of the State, for the
purpose Of collecting information of its
various leads and lodges, physical for
nations and pccu iarites, the operations
of miners, and the difficulties under
which they are laboring 1t is his de-
sign to furnish an accurate and minute
map Of California, giving not only the
courses Of rivers and locations of towns.
but the courses Of the great quartz leads
of the State, and all the collateral in
formation that patient invsstigs tion can
furnish, in reference to the sen6guration
of the State. His observations upon
mining and Of improvements needed in
mining operations at present, which if
we can Judge from the brief conversa.
ton VIC have had with him, must be Of
the utmost practical value-he designs
to publish in popular manual.
We hail his enterprise as dictated by
q noble spirit, and one calculated to bc
of the highest service, not only in the
cause Of philosophical research, but to
the prac tical miner, who now frequent
ly, from lack Of information upon the
p culiaritics of his quartz lead, and
proper ways Of extracting gold when
existing under new combinations with
other substances, loses fifty per cent Of
the mineral he seeks.
California is rich in other mi tails than
gold. and we look to this survey to fur.
nish us with traces and evidences in
actual discovery Of copper, tin, &c, in-
definite evidences of which may be
found in various parts Of the mineral
regions, but which have never been fair
ly developed from want Of particular
geological research.
DR.. Trask has performed in the last
three years over FIVE thousand miles of
land travel, in the most difficult, un-
explored and rugged portions of the
western continent-and in the pursuit
of his favorite object in this State, he
has trayersed great portion of it, most
ly on foot, and probably seen parts of
it never before visited by other than
aborigines. He has been collecting q
mineralogical cabinet for presentation
to the State, to be scientifically arrang-
ed and localized, which when completed
will be one Of the most valuable and
interesting collections that could be
gathered-where tho field for selection
is SO ample as here.
DR., Trask has with him glass Of i'm.
mense emagnifying powers, and he re-
quests us to state that persons or COM
panies wishing small portions Of their
quartz subjected to its powers can have
the use Of the instrument, or he will use
it for them with pleasure. Persons de-
string the test will 6nd him at the Jour-
nal Office.

Lethe, one-half mile from lake Avernus,
beyond which no auriferous quartz has
ever yet been discovered, with all the
courses, dips, angles, sinuosities, varia-
tions and contortions, thus distinctly
embracing its perpendicular elongation
and linear expansion. The company
have been thus explicit in defining their
lead in al it's labrynthine ramifcations,
owing to the vague uncertainty and
transcendental obscurity which have
involved individual rights, sacrificing
wealth and enterprise upon the shrine
OF cupidity, and furnishing material for
