The Vacant S0iicitorslip


Buttz from the office Of Solicitor OF
this Circuit, the people arc greatly
interested in the matter Of filing the
vacancy. II is rumorod that the
Governor will appoint Il person to
the position, and that such Executive
favor is likely to fall upon the shout
dcrs OF w. ST. Julien Jervcy, Esq.
Whether Dame Rumor correctly re-
presents our honorcd Chief Magistrate
or not, we arc unable to say. And rs
it il matter in which our people are
deeply concerned, We arc not disposed
TO rec eve rs correct everything VIC
hear.
Ihc vacancy occasioncl by the
cusiing u Butte will date from June,
1877, t. Eovcmbcr, 1880. The Ian
guagc p lie Constitution, i'll relation
10 Spl,;tcrs. reads rs fellows:
$ce. ~, Art. iv. "Thcrc xhuN be
one Solicitor for each Circuit, who
Shall reside therein, to be elected b.Y
~ gea'h~lItctors q tie l'ircaU, mho
slaHhea|dts cG;ce ./1,. ./om years.
Section II Of the same Article Of
the Constitution, referring to vacan-
crs III the Supreme Court or other
inferior tribunals says. they "shall be
filled hy election as herein prcscrihcd:
Prori1cd, That if the "nctpircd tcrm
does not trcccl one ;ycGr, such vacancy
may he filled by Executive appoint
mcnt."
Now, While thc Constitution is
silent as to filing vacancies i'll the
office Of Solicitor, it nevertheless
provides that there shall be one
Solicitor for each Circuit who shall be
elcrtca by tic Quo'Wcd cfcc'orS.f he
l'icnit, and who $huNhnl1 M;s oEicc for
fomr gears. Solicitors belong to the
Judicial Department Of the Govern
mcnt. The Constitution prohibits
the Governor from filing vacancies
upon the Bench, except when the
uncxpircd term docs not exceed
twelve months; and it is the spirit Of
that instrument, although ii does not
say so, that the same doctrine
shall apply 10 vacancies il the Solici-
tors office. The uncxpircl term in
this Circuit is over three years, and
the electors Of The Circuit have q
right TO vote upon the question OF
filling the vacancy. 1t is true there
is az Act in existence giving to the
Governor the appointment Of Solici
tors, but if GovcMor Hampton will
inquire into the spirit which showed
that special piece Of mischief
through the Legislature, we predict
that he will not have u very great
reverence for it. Look Ill the law
respecting other Offices. The Cover
nor may appoint County Comnis
:ioncrs where vacancies occur, p'ori-
d,a, he uncXpircd term does not
cxccyl one year. County Commits
sioncis hold their Offices for only
.wo cars, yet if Il vacancy exists i'll
tiiat department OF the : County Gov
c..liaeni and the uncxpircl term be
iol more than one year, the 1xccti-
tive is declared from Hing it BY ap.
p"intmcnt. An election by the pco-
pie is the only remedy. Now if il
be the letter Of the law that the
Chief Magistrate cannot fill vacan
cics for over twelve months where
they transpirc in an Office where the
term l., hut for two years then q ./or-
tori, it would seem that he ought not

There should be stop-cOck on all the pipes lead
ing to houses. -,
Mr.. BramweIl, who examined the working OF the
Deacon meters in Liverpool soon after their in'Io-
ducton there says that he first tried the meter unue
very varying heads delivering water into TANKS Oh
known capacity, TO ascertain the correctness oi H'
rcgisration This he found to be very Satisfactory
He then spent the greater part OF two nights III ho
streets of Liverpool, going with the inspectors
through two districts to which the meters had Just
been applied. The results were most stfiklDg' IN
visiting one of the meters at midnight II showed
consumption OF about 5000 gallons per hour'
Going on passing through the district the inspectors
spped the key to the stopcocS outside each house,
and ON the car being applied to the key the presence
or the absence of sound indicated whether there
was water passing through or not BY closing tho
cocks when the noises were heard and leaving all
the Others open was found reylsitng the meter
that waste Of 2,20O gallons per hour had been
arrested The few houses where the stop-cock had
been closed were noted and these alone were thos
subject of visits from the inspectors On the follow
ing day.
Mr. Bramwell believed the apparatus was on,
which might be thoroughly relied on az not lkeiy 10
get out of order, aud that it would enable perfect
control at tho least possible cost and with the least
annovance to the inhabitants to be maintained over
a district.
The night inspectors do not ordinarily have access
TO the meter at all The instrument is check upon
them and automatically registers the time at which
they begin and complete their work. The time OF
closing every cock where water was found To be
running and the amount of water wasted per
hour aU that point well as the time OF re-
opening the cock, are all given on the diagram.
In Liverpool the whole OF the books kept and the
necessary calculations made in connection with the
wastewater meter system, for population of 6o6,-

small end upward, and containing within it disk OF
the same diameter as the small end Of the cone.
A central stalk on the top surface Of the disk IS
suspended from a fine wire which passes water-tight
through a small hole in the upper part OF the
chamber above the cone, and thence over pulley

This weight is just sufficient to hold the disk to the

Mrs. Bartlett to a Portsmouth, n. H., journal. Mrs
Bartlett, who met the Admiral at a ball eiyeI

pleasant conversation, Of an interval to in
quire why he lashed himself to the mast
His answer, az given by that lady, is incomplete
He was lashed TO the mast, she relates, &c
protect himself from being precptated To the deck
by casualty. He had another reason for the iashine
which she does not mention. lie needed the free
use of his hands, in one of which he held his speak

for going aloft instead of remaining upon his quar-
ter deck is still a mystery.
And yet that reason. he gave it TO me very much
in the spirit of his conversation with Mrs. Bartlett
was a very simple and yet a very satisfactory one.
Tn his former battles below New-Orleans and up the
Mississippi River he had been seriously embarrassed
once by the condition Of the atmosphere and again
in the vicinity of bluffs, when the smoke Of his guns,
instead Of rising and leaving his view unobstrncted
formed and hung about the decks. Tie high blufis
in the Bay Of Mobile, with heavy atmosphere as
he was about to commence the engagement, ill.,

be obstructed by the smoke of his own guns He
went aoft therefore, TO get above the smoke and TO
obtain clear view of the enemy's batteries and OF
the position and movements of his own ships.
