REApPoRTIoNMENT IN CALIFoRNIA.--A
bill is before the Legislature for redis-
tricting the State for Legislative purpo-
SEES. If it passes San Francisco will have
10 Senators and 81 Assemblymen. and
that city will be divided into districts,
instead of all legislators being elected
by general ticket. Under this bill the
"cow counties" will have about 80 Sena-
tors of the 40 to be elected; now they
have only about 20. In the Assembly
the strength of the "cow counties" will
be increased from 46 to about IS of the
80 members. This would give those
counties preponderancs in both
Houses.

Taxes on liQht.

Senator Sherman has joined the ranks of those
who would punish the Press for its courage and
candor shown in the discussion of Congressional al
policy. Carpenters plan is to reach the news
papers by trumped-up libel suits before flexible
judges and packed juries at Washington. Sherman
would make another raid upon the pockets OF
his adversaries by forcing them to pay exorbit-
ant postage rates in advance. The present sys
tenn OF newspaper postages is. in some respects,
inconsistent and absurd and none of the
schemes proposed by the Postmaster General or
the lower House are entirely satisfactory-b but
they are oil fair and liberal compared with Mr..
Sherman views as adopted by a Senate OF
newspaper haters. His amendment 10 the Post

newspapers sent TO regular subscribers at four

The Democratic Nominees for
sheriff. nnd Goroner.

The Democratic Nomination election was held
on Saturday in all the Hundreds of the county
for Sheriff and Coroner and resulted in the choice
Of WILLIAM II. JAMESON, Esq, for Sheriff and
Mr.. RICHARD GRoyEs, for Coroner.
Both OF these gentlemen had been candidates
for the nomination for the respective offices be
fore, and the vote they received shows that the
voters had resolved to make them the nominees
before the polls were opened. Aud this is the
reason why the vote is comparatively small and
the majority given to each one Of them is so
large Had the vote been full the majority
would no doubt have been in like proportion.
WILLIAM H. LAMBsoN, the Democratic can
didate for Sheriff. is farmer by occupation; a
gentleman Of high and honorable character well
known in all parts OF the county, and especially
in this city, near which lie has resided all his
life, although living in New Castle Hundred
His qualifications for the office are undoubted .
and his iberality, amiablty and well known
kindness toward every one commend him for the
nigh office for which he has been chosen by SO
decided a majority in one of the fairest and most
pleasant contests ever made by candidates in our
county, aud We believe he is just such man as
the people desire to place in the responsible posi-
tIon Of Sheriff, and feel confident that they will
elect him in November
RICHARD GROVES, the candidate Tor Coroner,
is an old citizen, well known in the county, at
present doing business in this city. The heavy
vote given TO him shows that he has high place
in the confidence OF his party, and we have no
doubt that he will receive every Democratic vote
and that with all others on our ticket in Novem-

as almost to deafen those within sound OF it.
In the House, the Speaker for while gave up the
contest with the unruly members, and would not
allow business to proceed. The compulsory pilot
bill, in which 30 much interest had been taken by
the merchants and shipowners Baltimore and
other seaboard cities, was sent over until next
December, by being referred to the House Com
mittee on Commerce. In considering business
en- the Speakers table under the agreement re-
