The Supreme Court Judge will be
voted for in September, in place OF JUS
tice Belcher, According to the nterpre-
tation of the opinion given by Messrs.
Hoge, Wilson and Dwinelle, all Supreme
Court Judges, whether elected for unex-
pired terms or not, if elected by the peo-
pie, hold Office for ten years Judge
Belcher vas appointed, not elected, and
the people must choose his successor
This will be the only election at large by
the State. The Code Commissioners, by
an odd bluhder, neglected to provide for
the election of two Harbor Commission
ers, one of whom should be chosen by
the State at the approaching election, and
one by the city and county of San Fran
cisco. The Code re-enacts the statute
under which the Harbor Commissioners
hold office, but says nothing rs to the
| time and manner of election. The next
Legislature will therefore be compelled
to legislate on the subject and meantime
Messrs. Cunningham and Mathewson are
secure in Office. The Legislature will
also be called upon to elect successor to
Mr.. Soule, he having been appointed in
place of Mr.. O'Farrell, who was placed
in office three and half years ago. S.

speaking of the political operations OF
the Central Pacific Railroad. says: "Wit.

from his high place in the United States
Senate and uses his leverage of official

breaks down party lines and makes indie
pendent movements iustiiiable and nee
essary. Political parties are essential tc
good government. For no slight cause
should men cast off their allegiance
thereto. But when long train o.
abuses and usurpations, pursuing invari
ably the same object, evinces desigr
on the part of the leaders to prostitut,
party to base ends, it is the duty of tn,
people to throw off such allegiance ant
to provide new guards for their futur,
security Hence we regard the People,
movement in San Francisco and Sacra
mento as wholly justifable under tn,
circumstances.

Oakland scandal, in which the Gordol
family and Robinson were so terribl,
involved. A new phase was put upol
the matter last night by the marriage o
Robinson and Katie Gordon, which even
took place at the house OF the Rev. Mr.
Jewell, on Howard street, that reveren,

As Miss Gordon is under age, the con

mother nor any relation of either party

ference" as he remarked to the Cal
reporter last night. Call, 18th. 20,
