REaARKABLE 0vERsIGHT. = Both the
Wing and Democratic Conventions in
California overlooked the fact that by
their charter the Clerk of the Superior
Court is elective. and made no no.
mination to supply the place Of the
present clerk. Mr.. Algernon Sydney
Smith, quietly noticing this, had few
tickets printed with his name on them
for the neglected Office, and thirty ol
them were slyly voted. There wa:
but one vote cast against him, and the
consequence is he is elected by twenty,
nine majority precisely. Should tn,
Supreme Court decide in his favor h,

paragraph:
.. The President Of the Illinois Gen.

stockholders, of which we give the fol-

the 18th Of December. The amount Of
Constitution Bonds negotiated for mo-
ney is $4,000, 900, of which "a, 900 200
are taken in the United States, and IS,

tractors have takens ,185, 900, and thus
slO,.84 200 towards the cost Of road

Of lands Of the company, which consist
Of 2, GOO, 900 acres, which is esteemed
fully adequate to Ie object. The road

What wonder that the Southern
States are losing population and wealth

ENcOuRAGING.-There are two very
promising signs Of the times visible in
ihe following telegraphic despatch from
Philadelphia:
The Wing who obliged himself to
saw hall cord Of wood it Pierce and
King were elected, fulfilled his task
this afternoon, in Arch street, having
a large crowd Of spectators.
FIRST, it shows that the Wings in de-
feat are just as they were in success
the party that redeem their pledges and
hold to the inyiolability of contracts.
They do not know the meaning Of repu.
diation. They could not spell the word
If they tried without the aid Of a diction.
ary. And again, it shows that the race Of
men who dare to saw woot,in in the streets
is not entirely extinct. The interest
manifested by the collection Of a crowd
is encouraging. Attention once called
to these primitive modes Of getting ex-
ercise and small change, synchronous-
", there will be hope Of resising
them Tor US and our posterity.
