AN DECISION.
Judge Bennett Decides for an Election,

There hiss been . great amount of spec
ulation 40 to what course would 10 pursued
In regard 10 On election Of county officers
for the various counties in tho Black Hills.
It was supposed at the time Of the appoint
ment of those officers that they would hold
until the general election In 1873. but q
perusal Of the appended paragraph informs
us that Judge Bennett takes a different view
Of the matter. We clip from the Deadwood
Times OF the 18th:
At the opening of court this morning,
Judge Bennett delivered an opinion, and
granted q writ Of peremptory mandaMus
compelling the county clerk To call q gen.
ersl election this fall. Statutes were freely
cited and compared to show the legality Of
q call. The court held that these were by
by law, and should be filled in a like man.
ner. The appointment Of officers BY the
governor or county commissioners to hold
Office until 1878 makes no difference. The
law says that such and such officers shall
be elected and shall hold office until the
next general election. and until their sue
cessors shall have been elected and qualified.
There can be no question about the legality
of a general election this year to fiji the va
cancies for the short or unexpir.d term, OF
until next year, and tho clerk should issue
a call as the statutes require. He cannot
come into court aud plead ignorance If the
law. He should know what vacancies
occur. and his oath should compel him to
issue the call.
In regard to the location Of y county seat,
Judge Bennett merely cited the statutes
providing for an election therefor, and
granted the writ, without ruling upon that
DOint.

A Mexican Funeral.

FRANK C. VAN TAssELL. formerly
Secretary of Ringgold Hose Company,
this city, is now in. Mexico, at work in
the Dolores Silver Mine, Vallacillo, not
far from the Texan frontier. Mr..
Henry Mccain, Foreman of Ringgold
Hose, has received letter from Frank,
in which the latter says: "There was a
boy killed here last Tuesday morning,
by falling down the mine shaft, and l
attended his funeral Tuesday night. l
will try and give you description of a
Mexican funeral. They always have
their funerals at night. After we ar
rived at the house Mexican gave each
one of us Americans wax candle,
about eighteen inches long, with a
spray of artificial flowers twined around
it. Then we went in and looked at the
corpse. They had him laid out on a
table. There was crown on his head.
covered with gilt paper, and sandals
on his feet, covered with the same. He
was wrapped in a long robe, of a vel
low color, trimmed with blue. He was
not put in the coffin until they arrived
at the graveyard, but was carried
through the streets just as he was
when lying on the table. AS the funeral
procession moved along, guns and pis-
tolls and a kind of candle, very much
like the Roman candle, were fired off.
1t seemed to me more like one of our
firemanic receptions than like funeral
After we arrived at the graveyard, and
the body was put into the coffin and
lowered in the grave, everyone made a
rush for handful of dirt and threw it
on the coffin. Those who had friends
buried there took what was left of their
candles and stood them upon their
graves. That finished the funeral.
There was no religious ceremony, as
the priest was away. "-Nesobmrg Jour-

A Joke on q Conductor.

On Friday mornings down train
from Oroville, among other passengers,
were Sheriff Schneider, with two pris-
oners, en- route for San Quentin. The
prisoners being handcuffed and shackled
together, the Sheriff was not obliged to
keep his seat beside them. 1t so hap
pened that when the conductor passed
about for "tickets, gentlemen" the
Sheriff was not in company with his
prisoners, and the conductor stepped
before them and demanded tickets. The
prisoners both declared they had no
tickets, much to the surprise of the
conductor. "You must pay your fare,
gentlemen" continued the conductor,
in louder and firmer language. I" But
we have no money!" responded the two
passengers. "Then 1 must stop the
train,'' clustered out the conductor,
"and put you off, "Do, if you please;
you would greatly oblige u.s." remarked
one of the prisoners, in a solemn and
earnest voice; and as the conductor
was about to ring the bell to stop the
train to let the two convicts out of the
car, Sheriff Schneider put in an ap-
pearance and announced that rather
than sec the poor fellows out in the
cold, between two stations, he would
pay their fare. Though the laugh is on
the conductor, he tells it on himself
with gusto.-Marysville appeal.
