One OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF DTsUNIoN.
In the event of the dissolution of the
Union, one of the first acts of the Southern
Confederacy would be the conclusion of q
treaty with Great Britain, which would
stipulate for the admission into our ports
OF British shipping free of tonnage duty,
and the admission of British manufactur-
ed articles at a nominal or very low duty.
Although with this duty, We should i'm
pose very high. if not prohibitory duties
on Northern tonnage and Northern man.
ufactures. The effect of all this would
be to injure, if not destroy the CONNER
cial and manufacturing interests, or, in
other words, beggar the North and leave
1t to live on fanaticism and philanthropy,
instead of fattening as now, upon the
Southern labor, upon which it is warning.
Great Britain has been searching the earth
in vain to get supply of cotton indie
pendent ofus. Under such treaty as
we speak of, she would get our cotton.
and the supply of our demand for man.

Consolidation. - The n. Y. Tribune
proposes to consolidate all the elements
opposed to the present administration
into one party. to be called by any
name OF names which the different
states or localities may separately pre-
fer.
One proposition is TO allow the Repub-
licans to name the President, and the
Americans and national wings to select
the Vice President.
Another proposition is to allow the
opposition outside of the Republicans to
select the Presidential candidate and
the Republicans to support him if
pledged to use all constitutional means
in his power to keep the Territories
free, without raising the question as to
what his constitutional powers may be.

GEOLOGICAL SuRvEY.-Some time
since an interprisfng paper started the
idea of a geological survey of the State.
For want Of better or more fruitful
subject TO expatiate upon, other papers
caught up the theme and it became
quite general. At length Governor
Weller incorporated the subject in lis
message. a stray voice o. two still fee
lily prolongs the clamor.
Now, the object of geological sur
rey is. doubtless worthy one. and hon
estly advocated by most if not all those
who have written in favor Of the project
Consigned to proper hands and not a
toubt can be entertained that the work
would be a profitable one TO the State
and to science. But will the work be
likely to fall in proper hands 2-that's
the question. Experience goes to show
thas fhe political banner is rewarded
With Offices in this State in majority
of cases in preference to mer who have
paid more attention to science than to
party politics. The liability of the State
geologist being some dirty. hound fparty
is so imminent that many prominent tax
payers are 10th to incur the risk of ere
ating the office. Bring out the man and
let his merits be discussed, and if need
be, his capabilities tested. Then, after
being weighed in the peoples balances
and found not wanting, create the office
and make him the incumbent. The peo-
pic do net want to be tom-fooled with
an upstast smatterer. They want
scientific mind to devote itself to the
great work and are willing to pay no
nigsard compensation for the SERVICE
Better pay twenty thousand dollars a
year for valuable labors than accept any
otEer gratuitorsly. The State ought
never to lend its name and credit to
geological BOBBY. His works will only
reflect discrcdit upon the State and re-
dound to the loss and discouragement of
our citizens.
Give us some geologist of decided rep
utation and the people will indorse all
that has been said in favor of having
State geologist. Anything else the peo-
pie of this part of the State do not want
and would not have.

Card from J. ii. Mitchell.
BLOODY RrN, Jan. IS, 1859.

BLOODY Ruy. Jan. IS, 1859.
EDfToR JOURNAL. 1t is now currently
reported that F. H. Nicholson, acting as
Public Administrator of the county Of
Nevada, has absconded being consider
ably defaulter. AS member of the
late Board of Supervisors, l beg leave to
make statement to the public through
your paper, of the action of the late
Board of Supervisors, in the case of the
Public Administrator The facts are
these:
AT a meeting of the Board of Super.
visors, in November, 1857. report Of
the grand jury recommending the Board
of Supervisors to require of the Public
Administrators additional bonds, was pre-
seEted; and deeming it our duty, we
carefully examined the bonds of that
officer and found them insufficient to
meet the requirements of the statutes
We accordingl ly passed an order requir-
ing the Public Administrator to file fad-
ditional bonds, and in the event of his
failure to comply with the requirements
of said order i'll specified time, his office
would be declared vacant.
1t seems that +. H. Nicholson having
lost the confidence of his friends, failed
to procure the necessary bonds and
furthermore, a number of his bondsmen
becoming dissatisfied with his private
and official conduct, came forward and
demanded to be released from his bonds.
AT the next meeting of the Board of
Supervisors, finding that the Public
Administrator had failed to file the ad-
ditional bonds required, his Office was
formally declared vacant.
Had it rot been for tie interference
of the Probate Judge with the action of
the Board Of Supervisors, matters might
have been satisfactorily arranged at
all cvcnts, the estates that had been
placed in Nieholson's hands by the Pro
bate Judge, would have been more
properly disposed of, and accounted for
The Probate Judge denied that it was
within the province of the Board of Su-
pervisors to exercise any jurisdiction
whatever, over the office of Public Ad-
ministrator; that he was an officer of
his Court, and his bonds were amply
sufficient and furthermore. ie The Board
of Supervisors appointed any person to
fill the office of Public Administl ator,
he would pay no attention to such ap
pointment, but still continue to recog-
nize L. II. Nicholson as Public Admin
istrator.
The Board was not doubtful of their
power in regard to this matter, for the
law is explicit. If the Public Admins
trator is a county officer, then he must
be under the jurisdiction of the Board of
Supervisors. Although he does not
have the receiving and disbursement of
the public monies, yet before entering
on the discharge of his duty as public
officer, he must execute penal bond for
the faithful performance of his duty, the
same as is required of the Treasurer,
Sheriff, or other county officers.
Respectfully yours,

The SUCcEssIoN.-By special dis
patch of Dec. 9, from Washington to the
New York Tribune it appears the Presi-
dent has pronounced in favor of Hunter
for the succession and as affairs now
stand it seems pretty certain the distin
guished Senator from Virginia will be
the administration candidate for the
nomination of the Charleston conven-
ton. This indication on the part of the
President, coupled with the resolution
of the Republican members of Congress
rot to back Douglas in his war with his
party, is significant. There is to be a
gulf between the wings of the Domocra-
cy unless Douglas sAccumbs. The posi-
ton of the administration has been de-
liberately taken, There is to be no con
citation or retreat. IfDouglas render
himself acceptable by submission on the
Kansas issue he will be taken again
into the Democratic fold; if upon great
questions other than that Of Kansas, he
should make himself popular with the
adherents of the Observation-Disclosures
popular than the President himsclf-he
has chance to render his fellowship
more acceptable than his antagonist, and
may leave him on the cod banks bfJ o.
dan,' exchanging places with him in the
affections of the Democratic people. In
the latter event the nomination of Doug
las by the Charleston convention may
be considered an occurrence likely to
happen. Indeed, could that conven-
ton have assembled soon after the
Illinois election he would have had the
inside track backed as he would have
been by the delegations from the north
ern states whose influence in the conven-
ton would preponderate- Now, how
ever, the case is somewhat different
Advices from Washington teach us that
some of the former adherents of Doug
las are disgusted with his attempts on a
late occasion to make himself accepta-
BILE with southern fire eaters. The
strength of the little giant may be said
to;be sensibly weakened in his own Sec
tion by his movements since his triumph
in Illinois, His chances for promotion
are decidedly thinning. There are but
two alternatives. Douglas must throw
himself bodily into the arms of the ma
jority faction of his party, or plant him
self more radically in northern posi-
ton. Either position viii avail him lit
tie. Fellowship again with his party
will lessen Hunters ch ances in the con-
vention, for the benefit of Seward be-
fore the people. A moro northern atti
tude may injure the latter for the
benefit of the former without inuring to
the political success oe Douglas in the
canvass. In any aspect of the case we
see no extraordinary indication in favor
of Douglas. To obtain cordial sup
port South he must change his late posi-
tions materially. This be will have to do
at the expense of popularity North. On
the other tack he is sure to bring out
candidate to divide the
Democratic strength disastrously to the
party.
