No Judge for the Ninth Judicial District
to be Elected.


In reference to the election of District Judge
for the 9th Judicial District, which District is
composed OF the Counties of Trinity, Shasta and
Siskiyou, it turns out to be- as we had previously
supposed and predicted mistake OF Governor
Johnson's in inserting the notice in his Election
Proclamation.
The following article in the Sacramento Union
Of Wednesday last, authorized by the Secretary Of
State, will settle the question: and put an end to
all electonccring to fill the supposed vacancy
To our mind the provision Of the Constitution is
very clear with regard to the election Of District
Judge, and the term for which they are to hold
their Office. The Legislature has undoubtcd
power to change the Judicial Districts Of the
State, but cannot exercise the power to extend
or diminish the term Of Office of District Judge,
because The term Of Office is strictly specified in
the Constitution, which the Legislature has no
power to change. Here, however, is what the
Union says about it:
" According to the proclamation of the Gov
ernor for the election of officers at the next gen
eral election. it would appear that Judge is to
be elected in the Ninth Judicial District of this
State, composed of the counties Of Siskiyou,
Shasta and Trinity This we are requested by
the Secretary of State TO say, is a mistake which
inadvertently occurred in his office, and was
caused by the changing of the counties which
compose the Ninth and Fifteenth judicial Dis
tricts. Judge Williams, of Trinity County. was
appointed until the next election, by the Cover
nor, in place of Judge Ptzer. resigned. The
Secretary of State was aware of the fact that he
went out Of Office, and as Trinity County had
been transfe rred from the Fifteenth to the Ninth
Judicial District. be at first supposed that the
vacancy existed in tSat District. After public
attention was directed to The subject, 1t was how
ever found that tho law had been so framed as
to bring Trinity into the District with Shasta and
Siskiyou, and to place Judge Daingerfeld over it
as presiding Judge. The vacancy to be filled is.
therefore. in the Fifteenth, and not the Ninth
District"

The Trinity River Ditch.

This enterprise, we are glad to learn. is pro-
crossing steadily. All doubt as to the ability of
the Company to finish the ditch seems TO have
disappeared. The Company have purchased all
the property and interest of Mr., Reas including
the dam, mill. and right Of way, and are now in
full possession of the same. When it is known
that water can be sold from this ditch from the
dam to the terminus. it will not be regarded as
doubtful paying property. Judging from the
size of the ditch which will carry some twenty
eight cubic feet Of water, and from the character
of the mines which the water will supply it must
give employment 10 considerable number of
men. We arc informed by some very intelligent
and dsintorcsted miners on the river that the
water from the above ditch will afford profitable
labor for at least five hundred men the year round
This extensive field of operation will at once
make Trinity river the most Hourishing mining
locality in the country.
We also learn that propositions are being made
by capitalists outside Of the County to take hold !;
but that the Company have determined to accept
OF no proposition from outside capitalists which
would give them the power 10 set up monopoly
to the injury Of those actually engaged, or who
intend to engage in mining upon the line Of the
ditch. This is a correct principle, and is highly
commcndablc in the Company. If stock is to be
sold in the ditch. We say let the miners on the
river have The first right TO buy. and enjoy the
benefits of being The stockholders, because they
are the most interested, and are the men who
will perform the actual labor. From the known
energy and practical knowledge of Mr. Garland
the present Superintendent of the work, (and one
of the proprictors of the ditchl we have every
reason to believe, that the work rests upon such
a basis as will secure the completion of the ditch
beyond the possibility Of failure.

we may safely say that by the 20th day Of Sept

When completed from Trinity river to the mouth

portion OF the work is done. The stock is taken
within very few shares, and by the citizens Of

accrue from its completion. Mr.. Lowden has
prosecuted the work with vigor that does him
great credit and which we sincerely believe no
other person could have done. We therefore hope
that every stakeholder will be prepared to pay

"The Baby's Shoes"
Every mother. who has lost child, will fee
the truth and beauty of this poem. We fut
them in an English volume.
"oh, those little, those little blue shoes
Those shoes that no little feet use
Oh, the price were high
That those shoes would buy,
Those little blue, unused shossl
For they held the small shape Of feet
That no more their mothers eyes meet,
That, by Gods good will,
Years since grew still.
And ceased from their totter so sweet
And oh, since that baby slept,
So hush'dl how tho mother has kept, Al
With fearful pleasure,
That dear little treasure,
And Ger them thought and weptI
For they mind her fOrevermOrs
OF patter along the floor,
And blue eyes she sees
Look up from herknees,
With the look that In life they wore.
A. they lie before her there,
There babbles from chair TO chair,
A little sweet face
That's CLEAN in the place
With its little gold culs of hair.
Then oh, wonder not that her heart
From all else would rather part
Than those tinny blue shoes
That no little feet use,
And whose sig ht makes such fond teara start.
