Will Governor Weller appoint an q. s.
Senator?

TIL question is now being agitateh through
out the State, and appears to excite more
particularly the attention of Opposition prints
and par,isans. They are somewhat divided,
however, with regard to the line of conduct
which the Governor ought to pursue, in this
instance, and as to the benefit or injury his
action or naction will he to the State
While one set of clamorers grandl! oquently
inform the people what is the Governors
duty in the premises; that he owes it to the
interests cf California to make the appoint
ment; that the States requirements Al the
hands of the Federal Government render it
imperatively necessary that Mr. Broderick's
successor should he at one appointed, and
that Governor Weller. il he refuses, will he
actuated solely by the fear of having in the
appointee formidable rival for the same
position before the Legislature, another pack,
equally Jealous contend that such an ap
pointment would be productive of little or
no benefit to the State, inasmurh as there is
no likelihood of any measure of Importance
to the Pacific coast coming up before the
first few months of Congress, and that the
member elected by the Legislature will get
to Washington in good season for all prarti-
cal purposes; moreover, such appointment
will cost the Government a large sum Of
money, with no additional good to our State,
and that, therefore. the Governor should not
appoint any one to fl! the vacancy occasion
ed by the death of Mr.. Broderrk.
The unnecessary trouble these enemies OF
our party are giving themselves, in this con
nection we fear will influence but little the
action of Ihe Governor. john b. Weller is
not the man to allow either friend or foe to
interfere with what he believes to be his dn
tv, and he is well known to have mind OF
his own. which he fails not to exercise and
be guided by in his every action, whether Of
public or private nature. Ii he believes
that i, will advance the interests of our
State, he will make the appointment regard
less of all personal OF political interests; II
he does not so believe, he will not do it, and
no amount of imporuning or threats can
move him one single nt from his purpose.
For ourselves, although we favor Gov. Wei
ler's appointing, yet we feel assured that
whatever his action, it will meet the appro
baton of the democracy of California, and
will be dictated by an honest desire to
serve the best interests of his State and par
ty. Union Democrat
The above are our sentiments, precisely.
We are content with Governor Weller's
action in the premises, whatever it may be.
We have no idea he will heed the mnrmur-
ings of the selfs,yle Independent press in
the least, as its advice is always dictated 10y OPP

SHARP BUT DIsHoNEsr.-Be it known to
the outside world that there is, or rather
was. an upper and lower Chinatown, in Au-
burn. The lower went down before the late
fire, leaving the upper town unscathed.
No sooner was the fire over, than some of
the sharp merchant Johns, who had been
completely swept, wrote below, ordering large
stocks of goods. and stating that their quar-
ter of the town was all safe, bat that upper
Chinadom had gone in completely. 1t is
not known whether new stocks are forthcom,

Of sharp practice, it shows John to be wide
