THE SUPREME COURT OF CALL
FORNIA.

The Constitution of California, as
amended ten years ago, required the cleo
ton in October, 1863, of five Justices of
the Supreme Court, and further, that
those then elected should by lot deter
mine the term for which each should
hold office pursuant to the election of
that year. Sanderson drew q term of
two years, and became Chief Justice;
Curry drew term of four years, Sawyer
six, Rhodes of eight, and Shafter of ten
years. At the next election (ls65) Sand
erson was reelected, leaving the per-
sonnet of the Supreme Court as before,
but Curry, by operation of the Constitu-
ton, becoming Chief Justice. Curry
was a candidate for reelection in 1867 but
Sprague was elected. Soon after the
election Shaiter resigned, and Crockett
was appointed by the Governor TO serve
until the next judicial election. In 1869
Crockett was elected by the people, but
whether for the residue of Skaters term
or for a full term of ten years was a ques-
ton of doubt among the lawyers, though
it has since been held by committee
of eminent legal gentlemen that he is en-
titled to retain his seat upon the Bench
for ten years. In 1869 Wallace was
elected for ten years. Before the next
election Sanderson resigned and Temple
was appointed, and in 1871 Temple was
defeated by Niles, and Rhodes was re-
elected Since the last election Sprague
died, and Belcher is filling the vacancy
by Gubernatorlal appointment until the
election this fall, when the people will
elect Justice of the Supreme Court for
ten years; that is, if the view expressed
by committee of the bar Of California
be correct. The Justices of the Supreme
Court of California are as follows: Wal
lace Chief Justice, term expires De-
cember 81, 1879; Crockett, term expires
1879; Niles, term expires 1881; Rhodes,
term expires 1881; Belcher, who holds
by Gubernatorial appointment until the
election in October next

From the Superintendent of the rail-
road on the train, get the particulars of
the C. r. l. & P. Railroad disas-
ter last night. The train left Coun-
Gil Bluffs at o'clock, with four coaches,
two sleepers, a rear sleeper filled with n
company of arstocratic Chinese on their
was to New England colleges. There
were also two baggage and express cars,
in which was the through California mail
and express matter, consisting of $4,000
in the express safe, and three tons of
bullion. When about 65 miles from this
city, about s 80 o'clock, at sharp curve
in the road and at an isolated spot, with
no houses within several miles in any
direction, the train moving about %
miles an hour, engineer John Rafferty,
suddenly saw rail move about 60 feet
ahead of the engine. He instantly re.
versed the engine, and applied the all
brakes; and while in the act OF
doing it bullets came pelting into
the engine like hail. The engine
ran into the bank and turned over, the
engineer falling on the fireman dead
1t is supposed that he was killed by the
conclusion, as no bullet wound was
found on him. The fireman escaped
unhurt. The train being very heavy,
ran about 100 feet and stopped. Two
baggage cars were badly smashed. As
soon as the train stopped, six large.
strong men, masked in Kuklux style, ap.
peared at the express car, in which were

Hon d. r. AsHLEY.-The best notice
of the late Mr.. Ashley's career of useful
ness we find in the San Francisco Chroni-
Gle. Previous accounts have not gwen
his anteeedent history correctly;
He was born in Leroy, New York, in
1926. On the 10Th OF July, 1919, when
twenty-three years Of age, he arrived in
California overland from Missouri. He
then possessed fine education, and had
already given evidence of brilliant tai
ents. He commenced the practice of law
at Monterey in 1870, and in a short time
became so popular that he WAS elected
District Attorney. After occupying this
position for one term, he was sent to the
Assembly from Monterey in 1854, was
reelected in 1865, and served il the
State Senate from that county in 1857.
He acquired a reputation for superior
legislative ability, combined with strict
integrity. Persistent in his opposition
to all political chlcanery, and bold in de-
nounclng all attempts to pass thieving
bills, he Won the confidence of all homes
men. This led to his nomination after
ward as State Treasurer on the Republic
can ticket, hut as 1t was his ambition to
be elected to Congress by the Republ-
can party, he only accepted the nomina-
ton after repeated urging, He, how
ever, still entertained hopes of being
chosen to the United States Senate, but
they were never realized. During his
term us Treasurer, California was re-
qulred to pay over to the Federal Govern
ment Its quota OF war expenses, and the
amount was paid in United States cur
rency instead OF gold. By so doing he
saved to the STATE $50, 600, the difference
in exchange. Many complaints were
made that the money had not been paid
IN com, and 1t was even alleged that Mr.
Ashley designed to retain the difference
for his private use. The dissatisfaction
thus excited so seriously damaged his pc.
litical prospects that he abandoned his
Senatorial aspirations, and immediately
after the expiration of his term of office
left the State and located in Virgins
City, where he resumed the practice OF
law. He was twice elected to Congress
from Nevada. Two years ago he located
in Phoebe, and engaged in the practice OF
law with Harry l. Thornton, acting as
counsel for the Meadow Valley Mining
Company. Failing in health, he came il
October last to this city, where his fam
lily resides. From that time he gradually
sank, and for many weeks previous to his
death he was confined to his bed MIR
Ashley leaves wife and five children
the eldest daughter being the wife OF
Daniel O'Connell, the well-known poet
and journalist. He was thorough elias
steal scholar and well versed in moderr
languages. With the members of tn,
Pioneer Society, of which he was lif,
member, as likewise with all who had tn,
advantage of knowing him well, he wa
deservedly popular.

The Gold Hill News is becoming dis.
loyal. 1t says:
Every Republican Convention thus far
with single exception, has had plank
in its platform of resolutions, expressing
confidence in President Grant and salts
faction with the conduct of his admins
tration. The Maine republican State
Convention, which met few weeks
since and nominated Nelson Dlngle for
Governor, while adopting resolutions
protesting against granting another acre
of public lands to canal or railroad cor
porations, applauding Congress for fer
reting out corruption, denouncing Credit
Mobilier transactions and the back pay
grab bill as disgraceful to Congress, and
demanding its immediate and uncondi-
tional repeal, preserved an ominous
silence respecting the President and his
Administration. 1t is rumored that
President Grant is candidate for a
third election. 1t is also said that a
prominent Maine Congressman, now
Speaker of the House of Representatives.
has similar aspirations. Wonder if
Blaine, of Maine, had any hand in
framing the Republican platform in that
State Convention? And il SO, why?
