since the first Of January last Its
traffic is steadily and rapidly increasing.
There has been no accident on the road
since it opened. The speed Of the pas
senger trains is from thirty to forty
miles per hour. The road is in every
respect a success.
WHEN the dry rot OF political eonup-
ton and degeneracy has struck into the
Judiciary, the last prop goes. and the
fabric must fall. How to keep it pure
and honest and above reproach, is the
( question. Manifestly an elective judi
clary is failure. Experience has taught
MS what common sense before had point
ed ont, that the Judge upon the bench
must be entirely independent of the
citizen at the bar. In those
States where Judges are appointed by
the Governor with confirmatory power
in the Senate or Council, and with life
term, we find the purest and ablest
bench, men of learning and scholarship,
OF honesty and integrity, who dignity
their profession and reflect honor upon
the State. Experience seems SO far TO
have demonstrated the wisdom of Execu-
tive appointments.
The counties OF Solano and rolo con-
stitute the Seventeenth Senatorial Dis
triet, and under the existing appOrtioB-
ment, which was made thirteen years
ago, they have one Senator and two As
semblymen. In 1860 the population of
the district was 1885, in 1870 it was
2G,770, and allowing the same rates of
increase during the last three as during
the previous ten years, the population OF
the district in 1873 is $1,000. Sierra
county forms the Twenty.secoud Sena-
torial District, and has one Senator and
two Assemblymen. Its population was
II. 3S7 in 1860, and 1913 in 1870. The
same rate OF decrease until 1873
would make the present population 4, S3S,
which is but little more than one-eighth
of the population of Solano and Yolo;
yet the two districts will have the same
number of representatives ia the next
Legislature.-[ Petaluma Argus.
THE aspirations Of General Butler for
the Governorship OF Massachusetts, may
yet be foied in the coming campaign A
large portion Of the Republicans have
condemned him for the course he has
taken with regard to the back-pay
thievery, and indeed it may be conceded
| that he has but few friends left His en-
tire career from the beginning of his cleo
ton to Congress has been questionable,
and there can be but little doubt that his
fate will be that of all corruptiopists.
! Should he receive the nomination he will
find formidable rival in Charles Francis
Adams, who is now mentioned as the
probable candidate for the Governship
The Boston Traveller states that Adams
will be supported by the secret societies
who are opposed to prohibition, and the
conservative members of both the Dem.
ocratic and Republican parties. Adams,
while not remaining true to the princi.
piles OF the old Republican organization,
and being regarded as sort of backslideI
by some of the leaders of the party, is re-
garded by the mass of the citizens of the
State as worthy of honor, and will draw
a great deal of influence from the Repub-
! licsns if Butler is nominated
