SAN FRANCIsco EhEcTToN.-By d tele-
graphic Dispatch from San Francisco, under
date of W ednesday, P. NJ, we received the
unexpected and disagreea BILE intelligence
that San Francisco has gone Vigilante. The
despatch states that Woodwofth, the Figi-
lante candidate, was elected Senator in place
of Hon. Frank Tilford, resigned, by fifteen
hundred majority. As there were three
candidates at last advices, we incline to the
belief that it should read fifteen hun
dred plurality, instead of majority. If the
report is correct. the vote of the Black Re-
publicans and Vigilantes must have been
concentrated on Woodworth, thus securing
his election as the candidate of the African
Giraffe party The result would seem to in
dcate that there is small Vigilante ma jor
ity in San Francisco just at this time.

FIFTEENTH JUDICIAL DIsTRIcT.- The
Assembly on Friday passed the bill chang
ing the judicial districts in the northern por-
ton of the State, and making this the ff-
pass the Senate. 1t strikes US that attaching
Plumas county to this district, will not les
sen the labors of the Judge,as he will have to
able travelling in the mountains. However,
we presume the principal object of the bill
is to form the more northern districts so that
the terms of the courts may be held wita
regularity.

ToMt:s OF MCRpsCAI AND ESTER
These tombs which are held in tine
highest veneratlon by the Jews of Per-
sia, are situated in the center of Ha
madam, the former capital of Persia.
They are carefully kept in the highest
state of repair. The following is a
translation of the inscription on the
dome over the tombs: 'On Thursday
the 18th of the month of Adar, in the
year of the creation of the world 4474,
the building of this temple over the
tombs of Mordecal and Ester was fin
lshed by the hands of two benevolent
brothers Elias and Samuel, sons of the
late Ishmael of Kachan.' Ferrier, in
his Caravan Jrurneys and Wander

centuries and half since this monu>
ment was constructed. The tombs ale
made of a rather hard black wood,
which has suffered little from the effect

which Sir John Malcolm has given the
