OUR NEXT ELECTIoN.-On Wednes
day, the Sc of September next, an election
will be held in this State, at which twenty
one State Senators, eighty Assembly2en
county and township officers, except Asses
sors and Justices of the Peace will be elect
ed. The last Legislature extended The
term of County Assessors to four years, and
these officers will not be elected until Sep
TENDER 1875.
The greatest interest in the coming con-
test will center on the election of members
of the Legislature, who are to choose a
United States Senator to succeed Eugene
Casserly There are nineteen hold-over
Senators, of whom thirteen are Republicans
and six Democrats. In all 101 members
of the Legislature are to be elected, and in
order to have a majority on joint ballot the
Republicans must elect So; and the Dem
ocrats to have majority must elect Co.
Theoretically members of the Legislature
are elected to make laws, but the next cleo
ton will be largely Influenced by the Sena-
torial question, and probably more than halt
the members will be nominated and elected
solely with reference to their Senatorial
preferences. This is an irrefutable argu-
ment in favor of such change in fhe Con-
stitution as will provide for the election of
United States Senators by direct vote OF
the people-Petaluma Journal and Argus.

COLFAX.

The Louisville Courier Journal. an in
fuential Democratic paper, in its issue of
March 9th, says the following in regard to
Colfax:
"We Rave taken the trouble to review
carefully the case of Mr.. Colfax, as record
ed in the Congressional investigation, and
compare it with the elaborate defense de
livered by the late Vice President at South
Bend last Saturday. The result of our re-
searches is that he has given successful
and satisfactory explanation of the entire
matter. 1t will require closer analysis
than that which We have made, or are ca
pable of making, to alter our opinion that
in this business Mr.. Colfax has been
very much abused and wronged, and we
are the reader to allow this since we have
never beer tempted and could not be in
duced to sacrifice the private character of
any man to partisan interest or prejudice.
In doing what we believe to be an act per-
sonal Justice, we desire to be full, explicit
and ungrudging, and therefore we shall
not shadow the congratulations which we
have to offer conspicuous political adver-
sary by any of those minor disparagements
which might be sanctioned by less gener-
Gus criticism"

A INTERVIEWING SUMMER.


Running directly from the sbivering
shore of New York City, and the chilly
North, across snow covered valleys, and
over the mountains, there is railway
which links our six-months' Winter with
a never ending Summer. Snow drifts one
end, roses at the other Through without
change of cars, with kitchens and bedrooms
attached The time less than week and
the fare less than $780, What glorious
news this is for those who are sickly and
enervated from city confinement and over
heated rooms How much better than 60
ing to operas and theaters it would be to
dwell in a land of soft airs, full of sweet
sounds, breathing the fragrance of flowers
Southern California is the only really trop-
zeal land our starry flag floats over where
one may oujoy all of its privileges with
none Of its penalties And it is such a
glorious laud OF wonderful trees and flow
ers! As to the wherther no one could wish
better, if it was made to order. Umbrella
makers do not flourish in that land of smil
ne skies-Nordhoff.
