On the Eighteenth day of next month an
other election will be held throughout the
State for Judicial officers, which are fully as
important for the general welfare as those
voted for at the September election. The in
terest Of the people should be no less in the
choosing of Judges than for other State and
county officers. The Courts of the State are
as necessary to the we'll being of the people
as Legislature, and there is no good reason
why every voter should not take as deep an
interest in the election Of their Judges as they
do for Governor or other minister al officers.
The men to be chosen atthe coming election
will be clothed with the power of determining
the rights of contending parties. 1t is the
duty of every man to make known by his
in the event of bis being carried into court
The Constitution of this State has separated
the election Of Judges from that of other Off
GERS. Heretofore the votes cast at the judi
cial elections have been much less than that
polled at the General Election. There is NO
reason why it should be so. 1t is OF more Vi.
tai consequence to have good Judge than i;
is to have certain Sheriff or Clerk, yet OBJ
| servation has shown that more exertions have
been made and more influence brought tc
bear to elect County Officers. that can have
but limited influence, than is used in choosing
those officers that holdthehighes trusts which
can be delegated by the people to an individual
The two political parties nave nominated can
didates for Supreme judges, whoever may
be elected to this high position, will have the
right and the power to determine the consti-
tutionality of any law passed by the Lcgisla-
ture. They will, have the power of determin-
ing the rights Of parties involving millions OF
dollars, no voter knows that they may not be
invoked to pass upon his rights to life, lber-
~ or property. This is more than those
officers can do that seem to have engaged the
whole people in electioneering. Every voter
should make it as much duty to vote at the
judicial as at the general election. Besides
Supreme Judges, we have to elect County
Judge aud Justices Of the Peace, all Of which
should be filled with honest and capable men.
The members of no party can be .justifable in
allowing so important an election to go by
default. We hope that the Democrats of this
comfy will not be deferred from doing their
duty because their opponents beat them a.
the last election for few local officers
They have able and distinguished men before
them entitled to their support, Jackson TEN
pie member of the present bench and Sell
don s. Wright both of whom fill the test OF
capability and honesty. They have right
to expect the full strength of the party that
nominated them. A County Judge is the
leading and important officer of his county,
one which the people look to ard expect will
see that crime is punished and good order
preserved. Every Democrat should take the
same interest in this important election as in
the one that he's passed.

CONSISTENCY.

The Democratic party has a decisive ma
jori'y in the county. has manifested it by
giving the Democratic State Ticket and a
Democratic Congressman a handsome ma
jority. But strange ss it may appear the
Senator, one Member of Assembly aud all
but one leading county officer has been given
to their opponents by large majorities. The
fact of obtaining a nomination from the party
in the ascendant is by no means guarantee
of an election. Not much. Trading, lying.
cheating and fraud of every character enters
largely into all our elections. Men who are
looked upon as honest in other transactions of
life lave demeaned themselves to procure an
election as they would not do to reach success
in business avocations. Mean tricks in poll.
ties are becoming to be looked upon as smart.
Officers are constantly tainted with being
corrupt, if they are, they are made so by the
people who pretend to be honest yet wink at
and approve what they know to be wrong,
anything is legitimate for the cause" Let
the Democrats of Township No. l. look at the
consistency Of their vote at the recent cleo
ton. 10 this Township Gov. Haght, receiv-
ed 40 majority while Andross, Republican
for Senator received 81 majority. Cotfroth,
Democrat for Congress has ll2 majority
Rodgers. Republican has 100 majority for
District Attorney, Birney. Democrat for As
SCISSOR, has l43 majority while kenfeld,
Republican for Treasurer, has no. Far
ley, Democrat for Clerk has Al majority
while Trout, Republican for Sheriff has
54, de Haven, Democrat for Superintendent
of Schools has l47; Cooper, Democratic for Sur
veyor and Freund, Democrat for Coroner have
, majority each. If this kind of voting
demonstrates anything it shows concasively
that the system of Conventions for local no.
limitations has no force or binding effect upon
the people. that it has outived its days of use
fitness. The defeated asprants were the
equals of those who have triumphed over
them and were entitled to the support oftheir
whole party. The effect in this county which
is similar to that of two years ago, we believe
will have the effect of breaking at least for a
time, the practice of nominating for local off,
ces. If it results in bringing about more
honesty in elections the people will be salts
fed.

VIRTUE FROM PRINCIPLE Stockton
Independent, has seen proper to take the Re
pubcans of San Joaquin county vino voted
for Tilghman for County Clerk to task and
pours out its Walls of wrath upon their heads
with venom aud spitefulness. The Editor
says: They have also defeated man up
on their own ticket who was the equal In
every respect Of his Democratic opponent,
and they have consequently loaned themselves
to their opponents for no reason whatever,
but to outrage and insult those members of
their party who are such from principle. "
This is good, coming from one at whose office
few days before had been printed Demo
cratic tickets for Tuolumne County from q
sample ticket that had been stolen at Sonora,
tyre as nearly ms they had to correspond,
but being particular to insert the name of the
Republican candidate for Senator in the place
of the Democratic candidate. We leave it to
others to say if couuterieiting election tickets
is intended to "outrage and insult" any mem
bers Of that party ''who are such from prin-
cple" l. looks very much like loaning or
leaning to fraud for the purpose of deceiving
honest voters, to secure the election of f;-
vorite. There cannot be any great amount
of virtue in printing tickets knowing they are
to be used to deceive. Not having been the
custom Of Republicans to vote for their oppo-
rents does not destroy their right to do so
and if their having done so in this instance
"should be remembered should it 10: also
be remembered that Outrage and insult" is
rather mild terms to be used in connection
with the attempt to cheat and defraud Demo-
cratic voters in this county with bogus tickets
printed at the Independent office.

Republicans obtain three of these doubtful
districts they will, with the four Follower
Senators have 81 to 10 Democrats. If the
Democrats obtain the Napa, Shasta and San
Diego d stricts. then they, with their Is
follower Senators, will have q to 10 Re-
puhicans We have counted Pacheco among
the hod-overs. He must resign either his
Senatnrship or his post as Lieu.enant-Gover-
nor. We assume he will resign his Senator
ship, and that a special election Will he or
dpred by the Governor as soon as he is in
formed of said resignation. If Pacheco's
successor should be Democrat. then, with
the San Diego district and Napa district, the
Democrats wonld have q Senators.
Since the above was made out we have
learned that the Republicans elect their As
semhlyrnen in Monterey. and that the Demo-
Gratis elect one Of the three in Ell Dorado.
These changes will cause no difference in orr
figures as to the forces Of each party in the
Assembly .-Uhicn.
Since the above was published the reports
received indicate that the Democrats have
elected their Senators in San Diego and San
Bernardino, Napa, Lake and Mendocino,
and in Shasta and Trinity, making six DEM
ocrats elected, which. with the fourteen hold
over Democratic Senators make twenty.
The Bulletin reports Flint, Republican, in
Santa Cruz defeated. if such be the case the
Democrats will have two majority in the Sen
ate, without chasing Tompkins and Wilson,
hold-overs. the former was elected as an hide
pendent, the latter as an Independent Dem
ccrat. The chances are favorable for Dem
ocratic majority in the Senate. On joint bal
lot the Republicans will have about 80 ma
iority, which secures Republican to the
United States Senate in place OF Mr.. Cole.

Money Order system between the United
States and Great Britain.

The system of Postal Money Orders be-
tween the United States and the United King
dom of Great Britain and Ireland, will 20 in
TO operation on Monday the I'd day of Oc-
tober next Orders drawn in the United
States will be paid in England and Ireland
in gold while those drawn on the Offices in
this country will be paid in currency. The
international exchange Offices will be those of
New York and London. Postmasters through
out the country will receive currency and
draw their order on the postmaster at New
York who on receipt of the postal order will
draw his order on the office in London, paya-
bic in gold, computed upon the basis of the
premium upon gold on the day of the receipt
of the order at New York For instance, a
person paying fifty dollars in currency at our
Office in Sonora, which is the largest amount
permitted for any one order, when the order
reaches New York, if the premium on gold in
the market fixes the value of currency at
hinety cents, the postmaster will draw bis
order for an amount equal to forty-fve dollars
gold, payable to the party designated in Eng
land or Ireland. An order for ten pounds
sterling bought in England or Ireland with
the same premium on gold will receive fifty
four dollars in currency in the United States
at the Office designated in the order. The
fees for International Postal Orders are fixed
on orders not exceeding $40, twenty-five cents;
over $40 and not exceeding $50, fifty cents;
over $50 and not exceeding $50, seventy.fve
cents; over $50 and not exceeding $40, one
dollar; over $40 and not exceeding $50, one
dollar and twenty five cents. No ether cur
repcy than United States or National Bank
Notes can be received or paid. This new
system will enable persons to send small sums
of money from one country to the other with
great, convenience, and small cost compared
