CAluoRyIA SEsEToR---1hc late arrival
from California state that the legislature has
adjourned without electing Senator, while
the same arrivals report that DR.. Gwin claims
to have been elcted, and will apply for his
scat The case stands as follows The CON
stitution of California provides that in
elections Ex-senator by the legislature apln
rdtty vote shall elect but before going into
the election, the legislature passed law
providing that majority Of all the votes
cast shall be necessary to elect. They claim
ed power to set aside the plain provision OF
the state constitution on the ground that the
constitution Of the United States gives TO
the agriculture Of the different states the
power to fix the "times, places, and manner
OF clcctrg senators and representatives. H.
The whole question tcins upon the meaning
Of the word "legislaturc.' Legally We be
lieyc the word simply means the power that
makes the laws, and in this sense, the CON
sitution or supreme law Of California was
certainly lust as much a Legislature as
the body created by that constitution to
make laws under it, The case strikes us as
plain one in favor Of DR.. Gwin. But
should he be omitted, the case would be
as laughabie as singuglar. DR.. Gwin rsCeiy.
