"PowER To FILL VACANCIES. Under this head
the Union discusses the legitimacy of the ap-
pointment by Governor Weller of Judges to the
new districts. The Union the Shasta Courier
and anonymous writers, question the power of
the Governor to appoint. The Marysville Express
taskes an opposite view and bases its argument,
we think, upon poor foundation considering the
better grounds at command. Neither of the de-
bators have thus far struck home on the question.
The power we suggest does not lie in Art s. Sec.
8, OF the Constitution, as the Express would have
it, but IN provision Of that instrument not vet
quoted by the parties in controversy. Art. IL ,
Sec 8, reads as follows:
'SEc. 6-All officers whose election or appoint
ment is not provided for by this constitution, and
all officers whose offices may hereaf fter be created
by law shall be elected by the people or appoin-
ted as the Legislature may direct"
We apprehend this section covers the whole
ground and gives undoubted power to the Gov
ernor to appoint judges to the new districts
Aeyddd Journal.
We differ with the Journal IN toto in re-
gard to the construction to be given to the
section which it quotes 1t does not cover
the case in hand in any manner whatever
1t only provides that officers, whose offices
may be created by law, shall either be elec-
ted by the people or appointed, as the Legis,
lature may direct that is to say, the office is
either to be permanently and while it lasts
an elective or an dppointiUe one, Cf we may
use the expression). In other words the law
creating the office, shall specify whether the
person to fill it shall be elected or appointed
and if appointed, by whom. Now the office
Of Judge of the new district (to which
Mr.. Hardy was appointed by Governor We'll
ler,) is an eleetire office That is the fixed
and permanent character which it bears, and
the Governor has no authority in such cases
to appoint person to fill the office, until. in
the language of the Constitution, it "6ecomes
vacant, There must first be an election bv
the people. If, after that the office 'becomes
vacant, then the Governor may appoint. 1t
is impossible for an office to become vacant
unless it has first been filed 1t may be va
cant at the moment Of its creation, but it is
a wholly improper use Of words to say that,
under these circumstances, it has become va
cant

TnEATRE.-The Minstrels last night gave
their last performance for the season to full
house, and were greeted with great enthu-
siasm throughout. 1t was the benefit of
Eph. Horn and Charley Backus, and of
course both these distinguished sons OF
Momus and Comus did their best and when
they do their best look out for something
superlatively good. Eph. Horn's great Break
Neck Act fairly brought down the house.
Nothing has ever surpassed that in the whole
Ethiopian line of business. The fact is Eph.
Horn is a natural.born actor Backus .imi-
tations, songs and comicalities were perfectly
excruciating, and the audience laughed, as if
it would individually and collectively burst
with merriment The Champion Jig of Mike
Mitchell is especially worthy of mention.
Mike fairly outdid himself Bernard's violin
solo was worth going miles to hear. Indeed
the performances Of the whole company were
unusually excellent and their departure from
the city is regretted. Wehave not learned
where they intend going from here, but be-
lieye they contemplate visiting the mountain
towns.

PLEASANT INcDENr-At the funeral of

says the Gospel Banner. a circumstance oc
Cured remarkably cheering and suggestive.
The little one all beautifully robed for the
grave, was laid in its coffin on the morning
of its burial The weeping friends placed in
its little hand a small boquet of flowers,
among which was an unopened rosebud, of
the Rose of Sharon" The lid was then
laced upon the coffin and the funeral servi-
a es performed. When after the lapse of not
more than two or three hours, the coffin was
opened again, and the friends gathered
round to look uponit for the last time, that
bud had become full Jlo,on rose, while
grasped in the hands Of death.

ST. VALENTINES DAY-Monday will be
st. Valentines Day-a day when friendship
and affection are supposed to be peculiarly
active, and Cupid is on the wing with
bow drawn and arrow fixed, ready to
shoot through twenty thousand hearts. 1t is
a day when everybody, and especially every
fair body, both married and unmarried, may
expect to receive missive If you have
any admiration for maid or matron. this
is the time to express it, in any sort of dis
guise that you may choose to assume and, if
she finds you out afterwards, she has no right
to hold You responsible for any supposed
breach of decorum But, if she should be
angry with you, st. Valentine will protect
you from her wrath. So, in any event you
are safe. Therefore, prepare your valentines.

Bonaparte's Early Poverty.


M. Thiers, in his history of the Consulate, re-
cites some very strange and previously unknown
particulars respecting the early life and penury
OF Napoleon Bonaparte:
tappears that after he had obtained subal-
teran commission in the French service by his
skill and daring at Toulon, he lived some time
In Paris, in obscure lodgings, and such extreme
poverty, that he was often without the means of
paying ten sous for his dinner, and frequently
went without anything at all He was under the
necessity of borrowing sums and even worn out
CLONES from his acquaintancesl He and his
orother Louis, afterwards King of Holland, had
at one time only coat between them, so that
the brothers could only go out alternately, time
ana time about. At this crisis, the chief bene-
lactor oil the future emperor and conqueror, at
whose mighty name the world grew pale. was
the actor Talma, who often gave him food and
money. Napoleon's face, afterwards so famed
for Its classical mould, was during that period of
starvation harsh and angular in its linaments,
with It's projecting cheek bones. His meagre
fare brought on an unpleasant and unsightly
cutaneous disease of type virulent and ma
gnant, that it took all the skill and assiduity of
his accomplished physician, Coruisart, to ex-
pei it, after duration of more than ten years.
The squalid begger then, the splendid en-
peror afterwards the threadbare habliments
and imperial mante-the hovel and the palace
the meagre fare and the gorgeous banquet;
the friendship of :. poor actor the homage and
terror of the world an exile and n prisoner.

I&- Mr.. Perley, who recently challenged Mr.
Broderick to mortal combat, it appears is not a
citizen of the United States, but subject of
Queen Victoria. And yet he has been practicing
as an attorney in this State for a number of
years, which the law forbids, none but citizen
being entitled to the privilege OF practicing at
the bar of this State. As he undoubtedly took
the usual oath of an attorney to observe the
Constitution and laws Of the State, we would
like to know how he explains his oath in con-
nection with his violation of that particular law
which makes it an offense for any one save a cit
izen to practice as an attorney.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.

THE UNDERSIGNED, on or about the last of
L July or first of August, 1858, gave two notes
to D. 7. Langdon-on payment of a purchase
made of the ranch of his deceased brother-the
one being for the sum of $3.50, payable in Au-
gust, 1859; the other for $500, payable in Au-
gust, 1860, with two and half per cent inter-
est from date. As these notes were given by me
under misapprehension of facts, am deter
mined not to pay them, and warn all parties
against negotiating for them. Mr. Langdon had
no authority to sell me his deceased brothers
ranch, and hence of course obtained my notes
under false pretences.
