SUPREME CoURr DECIsIoN-A telegraphic
dispatch from Sacramento to the San Fran
cisco Bulletin, under date of September Sth,
says:
" The Supreme Court yesterday decided,
Burnett Terry asserting, and Field dissent
lng) that there is no vacancy in the office of
Controller OF State, and that the officer now
elected (Meloney) can hold for the full term
of two years from the time of his election. 1t
also In the same case, made dictum, assert
ing that District and Supreme Judges were en-.
titled to hold their offices for six years from
the time of their election-thus covering Ha-
gers case and others, as well as Terry's and
Baldwin's"
The Sacramento Union of the 9th, makes the
following remarks in regard to this case:
+" 1t was suggested yesterday, in our hear
ing, that the majority of the Supreme Court,
in making up the opinion on the Controller
case, must have overlooked the following sec
ton of the Constitution, Article 5, Section II ::
" The Controller, Treasurer, Attorney General
and Surveyor General shall be chosen by Joint
vote of the two Houses of the Legislature. at
their first session under this Constitution. and
thereafter shall be elected at the same time
and places, and in the same manner as the Gov
ernor and Lieutenant Governor" If the Con-
troller is to be elected at the same time, and in
the same manner as the Governor, the ques-
ton was asked, how can a candidate for that
office be elected for full term at an election
when no Governor is to be elected? 2"

PERsoNAL.-On Thursday evening, we were
grati6ed, on receiving visit from Dr. Collins,
Principal of the Stockton Female Seminary,
who is now travelling for the benefit of the
School and canvassing for scholars, prepara-
tory to the opening of the second session of
six months, which will commence on the 18th
inst. The Doctor and his accomplished Lady
are highly esteemed in Stockton, for their pro-
fessionai skill and social virtues. The school
is an excellent one all the departments being
under competent and experienced teachers
By reference to the advertisement on fourth
page, it will be seen that the prices are liberal,
and that all the various branches of good
English education are taught. We commend
the School as equal to the best in the State.
San Andreas independent., 1858-09-11

1t is clear that, for the future gains Of
this trade, the large shipping merchants
of San Francisco will make an effort to
modify or repeal the law 'To prevent the
further immigration of Chinese and Mon
golians to this State, passed the last Leg
lslature, and which takes effect the 1st of
Obtober, proximo. They would sacrifice
the interests of white miners to secure
another influx of these Asiatics. We
take this early opportunity of again urging
upon our Legislature the necessity of
such law as will at once prohibit that
influx and operate towards the gradual
expulsion Of the whole race.

ters, are always reliable; (and as for the
sacramento Union, it is no compliment
to say that it is the best newspaper in
the State, If not in the Union ) their lit
erature, if not bold and striking, is at least
IN good taste, and incomparably superior
to anything in that line which the mere
country papers of older States can boast
We point with pride to the columns of
the Trinity Journal, the Sonora Herald,
the Sierra Citizen, and to many excel
lent thoughts and contributions in certain
city newspapers, which are well known to
be from the pens of country editors. It
is no libel to write that more wit and
classic irony emanates from the brain of
Wright, of the Sierra Citizen, in single
week, than half the broad backed dailies
of San Francisco could pack in a year.
There Is more eloquence, more grand
thoughts and more admirable expressions
In single number of the Trinity Journal,
than we have ever yet read in hundred
numbers Of the San Francisco Bulletin.
The moral tone of these country papers is
infinitely superior to that which pervades
the columns of the censorious papers at
the Bay. The reader looks in vain in
their columns for billingsgate and personal
abuse. The reader looks in vain over
file of the S. F. papers without finding
one or the other. Language the most
gross; epithets applied to men high in
social life, that would degrade dog; and
boisterous, bullying tone as far from the
character of man of intellectual refine
ment as the business of scayenger is
from that of an astronomer.

the shaft is not to the bedrock yet several
shafts are now going down and have struck

You may judge what our diggings are, with a
working population of one hundred and fifty

than double that amount.
The Lancha Plana Ditch Company are max
ing arrangements to run full supply of water
this winter to Poverty Bar, Camanche Camp

it at reasonable rates-33 cents per inch for
small sluice-heads, with a graduating scale
