Senatorial Vacancy-Yuba County Aspi-
rnnfs.

runtSs
The untimely death of David C. Broder-
lex has made a vacancy, which it is the bu-
ness of the Governor of this State to supply
by appointment Many are anxious for this
appointment, in the hope that the Legisla'
lature will fail to elect successor to Mr.
Broderick, this winter, and the appointee
will thus hold his seat for year longer. The
general opinion down below seems to be that
II. A. Thompson of San Francisco, Will be
the fortunate individual who will find favor
in the ewes of Gov. Weller. But the LIE
compton pap.seekers of the Great North are
not altogether despairing, and accordingly
we see Judge Haun and Ninean E. White
sides on the possible path to preferment
They have gone down, we understand, to
Sacramento, to use their influence to be ap
pointed to the vacancy. Whitesides is, we
believe, quite confident that he is the man
for the place, and that his great seevices to
the. Lecompton party have certainly secured
him the position All he has to do is to ask
for, and receive, It'll His aspirations have
hitherto been for a nomination to Congress,
but he is willing to make sacrifice and be
q Senator, if the Governor thinks it necessa-
ry for the good of the country. Knowing
that the Governor desires to pick out the
ablest man in the State for the position, be
longing to the Lecompton partly and, fear
ing that he, amid the host of able office-seek-
ers in the country, might be overlooked, he
has concluded to "kind O. throw" himself in
the Governors way, in the hope that may
be the eye of gubernatorial favor will chance
to light on him as he passes. We are decided
ly in favor of Whitesides for the position,
and we may safely predict that, if Gov.
Weller becomes aware of our preference,
Whitesides will be appointed.
NJ DE LAVE on A TIGur RopE.-The Roch-
ester Democrat after giving an account of
Mons De Lave's late feat of crossing the
Gennesee river on tight rope, says.
We consider De Lave's performance more
wonderful even than that of Blondin While
we have no desire to detract from the profes
sional merit of the latter, we still believe
that De Lave is his equal in many particulars
Blondin's rope is perfectly steady, and does
not sway so as to be percepible from the
shore, while that on which De Lave walked
yesterday, twirled about in a most disquiet-
ing manner, owing to some defect in the guy
ing. or for some other reason. 1t was, more.
over, wet, and quite slippery in consequence :;
and it is considerably smaller than Blondns.

WE regret to see, says the st. Louis Demo.
crat, that it continues to be the practice of
the Post-ofice authorities, to send the steam
ers mails from California to St. Louis by way
of Panama. This includes the newspaper
packages and other matter which cannot be
forded overland. 1t is of some Importance to
this city and vicinity, and should be brought
here as speedily as possible. BY going round
by Panama, it goes to New York, and SO
comes here, thereby involving delay of at
least five days If forwarded by the Tehaun
tepec route these mails would arrive here
promptly in twenty-one days.
A LETTER from st. Louis says among the
visitors to the White Sulpher Springs, Va,
are Mr. Secretary Thompson, Mr. ex Secre-
tary Conrad, Gov. Manning of South Carolina,
Professor Biedsbe Judge Perkins of Louis
lana, ex Senator Bayard of New Jersey, and
Mrs Gwin, the wife of the Senator from Cal
ifOrnia, who is, our account says, the most
observed among all the ladies who this sea
son grace the Springs with their presence.
