An IMPORTANT MATTER.-An Act to confirm
the election of Supervisors in the Sc eral coun-
ties (legalizing the election of Supervisors at
the last General election) is before the Senate.
1t seems under the Constitution that Super
visors should be elected at the Judicial election
which in most of the counties was not done
consequently those elected at the September
elections not entitled to their Seats and it is
proposed to legalize the election of all such by
the passage of this act. 1t has been sent to the
Judi larry Committee. During the debate on the
matter Mr.. Shafter, of San Francisco, said "if
there had been Committee of revision to criti-
else and correct bills in general this difficulty
in relation to the Supervisors could not have oc-
CURED. 1t arose entirely from the inadvert"
insertion of the words and county Supervisors ,
which were to b interpreted unquestionably not
as the rule, in their connection in the Act, but
as the exception. The Constitution provided
that the Legislature should provide for the cleo
ton of Supervisors, and that body had failed to
carry out the provision by nsttuting such cleo
ton According to his present views he could
not regard the election of September as entirely
void, the Act of last Winter clearly and unrquiv-
ocaly repeating the whole of the general law as
previously existing. Furthermore, he believed
they did not possess the power of rectifying or
legalzing that election. 1t was a serious oues-
ton.

BADLY OFF.-Tim Hall, lately employed at the
Tower House, was thrown from his horse near
bly, mangled. His foot held to the stirrup, and
he was dragged some distance over the rocks,
completely tearing the scalp from the back of his
head. Whisky did it.

bell rings or not.

The following passage from an article il
the Newburyport (Mass.) Hcrold, fairly
states the difference between the two can
didates now before the people
Leaving OFT of consideration the Fremont
wing and coppoIheads, we have ondeavored
to ascertain the position Of the two great
parties, and we come TO this conclusion
that Mcclellan occupies the exact position
that Lincoln did when the war began. We
supported Mr.. Lincoln then as a conserva-
tive man. He declared that he had no con
stltutional power and no desire to interfere
with the domestic institutions Of any State.
lie was IN fav OF executing the national
laws, including the fugitive slave law. He
SAID when he went to Washington that no
boay was hurt by his election; and he new
or intended that anybody should be. Con-
gres passed resolutions and he appro, ed
them. that the war was not for tn. over
throw OF slavery or the subiucation oil the
people, but IL maintain the supremacy of
me national government. and that the
Inl"h should be preserved at all hazards -

Now, in looking over McCIelan's letter of
aceep anre. we find The same to be his posi-
tion. lie declares with equal force that the
Union shall be maintained. the laws ex,cu
