Who viii be Judge {?

Il appears to be very generally believ-
ed that Judge Black is to be our next
Governor. This being the case, who will
be his successor, Is q question very nat
urally presenting itself. We know not
who is thought Of. There will undoubt-
eddy be plenty Of 0spiEants, and we will
not pretend to mention any name, but will
suggest two points for consideration, viz:
that the person be a resident of Nebras-
ka, and that he be a yoUng lawyer
AS 70 the first, no resident will dispute
with us. As TO the second, we, of course,
DO not mean a mere student, with no
reading, comparatively or practical knowl-
edge. But We mean a young lawyer;
one who has not already attained a name
4 fame, an advanced position, and a for

have noticed in all professions. that men

r. EoTARIEs.
Much inquiry is made respecting the
requirements Of the new law which was
passed by, the last Legislature, respecting
the duties Of Notaries Public in this ter
ritory. And as the law has not been
published, the information required may
be sufficiently CLEANED from this commu-
nicatIon to answer present purposes.-Al
Notar1es now IN Office can continue to
hold their positions until the first of Jan
uary next. when their terms will cease.
Those desiring to obtain commissions
after the first of January will be requir-
ed to obtain certificates of qualifications
and character from the Judge of the dis
trict in which they reside, which must
accompany the bond.
The number of notaries to each coun-
ty is limited by the late act, and cannot
extend beyond ten, and in the majority Of
them stops at i've.
1t was said at the expiration of the
session, that the laws would all be pub,
lished and ready for delivery in six weeks
if so, the law can be referred to before
the terms of Notaries expire.
The reason for enacting a new law
containing different provisions, if refer
erence to numbers, was, that there ap
peared to be a superabundance of No
taries in every town and county in tn
Territory, and to such an extent that con
fusion instead Of convenience was the re
suit.

Annexation.

Since the appearance of our article on
this subject last week, the question has
been talked over by every body in this
region, and we have heard of but very few
men who opposes il.
We learn from one of our townsmen
Just from Nebraska City, that this pro-
lect is all the talk there, and everybody
is in favor of it. We also learn from
prominent citizens of Richardson and
Pawnee counties that there too, the ma
iority of the citizens favor annexation.
Petilions are in circulation, which isall
well enough but we suggest the call
ing of a convention, or mass meeting a
which there can be more of an inter
change of yiews-more of an understan.
ding among the people.
Since the above was in type, a meet

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE
OF VIRGINIA.

Gentlemen Permit me to call your attention to a
subject which requires Legislative action. anude to
the unlawful traffic carried on with slaves by the
owners Of whiskey shops in various parts Of our State.
The present laws on the suhjsct. although strin.
gent, fail entirely TO correct the evil complained OF
Would it not be we'll TO require the keepers of these
groggeries to give bond aud security, when they ob
tain license, to prosecute a lawful business. and not to
deal unlawfully with slaves, in selling to them
whiskey, and other things and also to make oath
in Court, that they will not violate the law1 For
every violation, a fine should be- imposed, one half OF
which should 90 to the intormer, and the Common.
wealth's Attorneys should be required by law, to give
the same in charge to the Grand Juries, more in
detail than heretofore. These shops, as your hon.
orable body ia aware, are great nuisances to the
community. The present laws are daily violated
with impuuiiy, the slaves are corrupted and injured.
and many are induced to steal from their owners and
others to satisfy their appetite for strong drink; and it
is believed that very many Of these who thus violate
the law receive stolen property from them almost with.
out compensation, hence the owners of The slaves are
s.uderers in various ways. If the applicants tor liquor

Constitutions Of our own Governments. 1t is our
Union. our Government, our Constitution it ia our
ton, and send our Representatives,. Both Of
ticers preside over our Senators in the Con
gress and our Senators in the Legislature. 10
both Governments We have granted powers, and the
Constitutions and laws of both operate upon us as
citizens. The two form, in their connection and in
the discharge of their separate duties and exercise OF
their several powera, a government over our foreign
relations and dOIaestiC concerns. Neither IS com
plete without the other and it requires the co'opera'
ton and concurrence Of both to constitute q govern
ment OF adequate powers for our satisfy and protection,
In carving out an office and prescribing the duties,
the same interpretation must be given 10 the same
words. BY giving that construction TO the word lab
senos' in our State Constitution, the Senate is EN-.
powered to elsct Il president 10 the absence of The
Lieutenant Governor, whether temporary or perina.
nent, whether theirs il n vacancy in the office from
death or resignation, ichinterpretation removes all
necessity for filling the vacancy in the Office OF Lieu
tenant Governor to preside over The Senate. Other
and sounder views nust be presented TO show that q
necessary case" has arisen for a new election. This
view is strengthened by the fact, that the asnate
has already elected a president. He is now ds
charging the duties and filling the Office. The
House of Delegates recognises his position and
acquiesces in his election. The fixed TACT
is upon us aud the election of a Lieutenant Governor
by joint vote Of the Legislature has only the Effect Of
superceding the president Of The Senate elected
by the Senate-by a president ofthe Senate, in the
person OF the Lieutenant Governor, elected by The
two Houses. As the number of delegates j, three
times the number Of Senators, they may make the cleo
ton in despite of the Senate and, AZ has been re.
marked. even send one Of their own body to preside
over the Senate. Ii is unnecessary to point out
the improperly of comforting by express grant, or
seizing by implication the power Of one legislative
branch to elect n presiding officer for the other. The
Constitution gives 10 the Senate the right to choose
its other officers and TO elect its President pro tempore
10 the House Of Delegates tho right TO elect its
Speaker aud its other ofiicers-each House is made in.
dependent, in it's organization, the election OF its off.
GERS, in establishing its own rules and issuing writs
of elections. The people have reserved to themselves.
