SUPREME CouRr JUDGE AND STATE TREAsur

SUPREME CoURT JUDGE AND STATE TREASURER.
We see by the State Journal, that the question
has been raised in Sacramento, as to whether the
offices OF State Treasurer and Justice of the Su-
prcme Court, will not become vacant after the
next election Judge Burnett, and Mr.. English,
the State Treasurer, were appointed by the Gov
ernor to fill vacancies occasioned by resigna-
tons, and it now seems to be very generally
conceded their terms will expire after the gene
raj election, in which case, should no votes be
received for those Offices, there will be vacan-
cy until the first of January 1858. If this po-
sition is correct, the duty will devolve upon the
Central Committee to fill the vacancy occurring
in the ticket occasioncd by the neglect of the
Convention TO make the nominations. The at
tention of the Central Committee has been call
ed to the matter and We presume there will be
no objection from any quarter, to their action,
as they arc the only persons authorized to aot
for the party in cases Of this kind.

MORE QUARTz.-We learn that Messrs Hearst,
Clarke & Co. have discovered quartz lead on
Deer creek, above this town, which in appear
ance is fully as good as any of the recently
prospected quartz ledges in this vicinity,
From the interest taken in prospecting, we
venture the opinion that ere long the ears of our
citizens will be greeted "from the rising of the
sun to the going down thereof" with the thump.
ing of stampers and the rattle of machinery, and
that like the inhabitants of our ncghboring and
flOurishing town of Grass Valley they will grow
deaf to all sounds, save those accompanying
quartz. Well, go iu-there is prosperity in it.

ARREsT.-Deputy Sheriff Van Hagen started
on Monday morning last for San Leandro, Ala
media co.. for the purpose Of bringing up the
man who is supposed to have stabbed Buary at
Red Dog. It will be rccollectod that Buary
appeared to be but slightly wounded, and that
subst quently erysipelas supervened upon the
wound, causing bis death. Two men suspected
of having committed the act, as soon as the
wound began to assume a serious appearance,
made their escape, and their whereabouts was
unknown until few days ago. The circum-
stances Of the arrest at San Leandro are stated
to have been as follows: A man who was a
stranger applied for employment on ranch in
the vicinity of San Leandro, and after working
few days, exhibited signs of uueasiness which
were observed by those at work with him. To
one of his fellow workmcn he related the cause
of his anxiety saying that be had stabbed "a man
in Nevada county and that since he left the
man had died. This Information was commu-
nicated to Justice Of the Peace, and the per-
son supposed to be James Jones was arrested
and committed to Jail to await the action of the
authorities OF this county.

IScENDIART ATTEMPT-A man named Thomas
Ford was arrested about three o'clock on Thurs
day mornong last, charged with attempting to
set building on fire, on the upper end oil
Commercial street. He was seen in an alley,
by policemen O'Brien and Corbtt, lighting q
match. Corbitt fired a pistol off in the air,
upon which Ford jumped out and was arrested.
They procured light and went 10 the spot, and
found some half dozen matches and a piece oi
brown paper which had been partly burned
Ford was taken to the city prison, and the next
day was examined before the Recorder and com
mitted to Jail in default Of giving bail. On
Friday. however, Ford's friends came into town
and represented that he was only trying to light
cigar, and that being very drunk at the time
he scarcely knew what he was doing. The Re
corder, being We presume, satisfied Of the truth
of these statements, afterwards ordered that he
be discharged. 1t seems to be matter Of some
doubt whether OF not Ford was trying to Sc
the building on fire. The circumstances agains
him are very suspicious, and VIC trust the mat
ter will be thoroughly investigated by th'
grand jury. He had no cigar about him wber
he was arrested. nor was there any on the spo
where the matches were found. Ford is sale
to be an Industrious miner, and works on SelbJ
Hill; but when in town is in the habit of loafing
about gambling houses and places Of bad repute

The Know NoTHING CONVENTIONAL Conven-
tion of the american" party comes off in Sac
ramentO on Tuesday next, the 2sth inst, to take
into consideration the propriety Of making nom-
nations for State officers. Great differences of
opinion seem to exist among the members of
the party as to what course the Convention
should pursue. Some are in favor of disband-
ing; others are desirous that the Convention
should endorse the Republican nominees for
Governor and Supreme Judge, in order if pos
sible to beat the Democratic candidates, and
others still are in favor of making straight-out
Know Nothing ticket, in order TO show the Re-
publicans that they have larger vote than that
party. 1t matters but little what course the
Convention pursues, as far as the final result is
concerned. Should they even endorse the en-
tire Republican ticket, the two parties COM
bined will not be able to poll as large vote as
the Democrats into several thousand. The once
powerful Know Nothing party Of this State has
dwindled into a mere faction and it is probable
that not more than half of the counties will be
represented in the Convention.

ANARCHY IN New YORK.--The most important
item of intelligence from the Atlantic States,
brought by the John l.. Stephens, is that in re-
gard to the condition of affairs in New York
city. An act was passed by the Legislature at
the late session, called the Metropolitan Police
act, vesting the power Of appointing policemen
for the city, in State officers instead Of the city
authorities as heretofore. The only object Of
divesting the city Of its ancient chartered priv
ileges, was to provide for few hundred hun
cry politicians of the Black Republican stamp
The city authorities resisted the act, on the
ground of its unconstitutonality, and the case
went before the Courts, and was at last accounts
pending before the Court of Appeals. There
being two sets Of policemen, alterations and
riots between them were frequent, and crimi-
nails refused TO recognize either set. On the
18th of June, Mr.. d. D. Conover, the Governors
appointee for Street Commissioner, attempted,
under the protection Of the metropolitan police,
to take possession Of the Commissioners office.

For two days of this week the Court House
was beseiged by Chinese, as parties, witnesses
and friends in case from Drytown, where "a
Chinaman was charged with the abduction of a

secure the payment of the money. The papers
were duly produced and the interpreter stated
that they were good and lawful in China The
defendant had only endeavored to enforce his
