Welded following from the

special reference to a brother Of l.. j.
Kellogg, Esq, of Hay FORK:
AT the Plumss House, on Sunday eve

Cheney, Mr.. w. w. KELLOGG, Of Quincy,
TO Miss SADIE ID. GATES, OF San Fan
cisco.
The National acknowledges the receipt
OF spark ding champagne ard wedding
cake, over which the printers poured out
their blessings and good wishes for the
happy couple. Thou hast done well old
friend. Thy choice indicates the clear
ness OF thy Judgment as to the attributes
Ofa life com paHion. May the bark thou
hast launched never sail on stormy seas.
May the breeze OF prosperity wait it safe
~ TO the haven of thy desires. May the
day star OF thy hopes never beam less
brilliantly than now. May devoted Af
fection weave spall to shield thee and
thine from the unhappiness which so Of
ten over shadows and darkens the lives
OF men. And, secure IN loves trust, may
the passing years touch thee both lightly,
as they vanish into eternity.

OUR STATE ELECTIoNs.- State
general elections are now held qTadren-
nially. Experience sanctions this rule.
Elections should be neither too frequent
nor too far apart. | the former, a need
less expense is cast upon the taxpayers.
Ii the latter, official corruption and an
official autocrscy are fostered. But in
practice the existing method Is open to pro-
ftable amendment The main cost of
elections in this Stale is due to the Regis
tration Act, which should never be aban-
d0ned, but on the contrary be recognized
in the new Constitution. But there should
be change OF the time Of holding gen
eral State cleo tiens from Septem Der to
the Tuesday after the first Monday in
N0yem Der, so as to conform with the
day fixed by Congress for the election Of
President and Vice President. Twenty
States have changed their Constitution to
agree with this plan, most Of them US IL
matter OF economy. There is no good
reason why All county officers should not
be elected on the same day, nor why the
term OF any county oflcer should be
less than four years. The chances are
that better officers, for Sheriff, Assessor,
Treasurer, etc would be secured for a
term of four than for "a term Of TWO wears.
and at lower salaries. The successful
candidate must he reimbursed hiselec!or
expenses, ct iher by law or by stealing.
The longer term is, therefore, the more
economical and the wiser method. If
the new Constitution shall make these
changes, we can hereafter get along with
but one election every four years-the
counties rs we'll as the State save as to
the members Of Congress, who must be
elected biennialy.
There is one difficulty, but that can be
overcome. Our next general election
falls on the drst Wednesday of September,
1879. While the Presidential election
ia lis OR the Tuesday after Tho first Mon
day of November, 1880. Let the Con
sttutioE provide then, that the officers
elected-State and cousty-at the next
general election, shall hold only til say
January, 1881; and that there shall be
another general election on the Tuesday
after the first Monday Of November
1880, when the next Presidential occurs.
1t would bring two general elections close
together, but what would be lost by this
expense would be fifty fold compensated
by the change in the course Of tines.

THE reports of the proceedings in the
Vanderbilt will case, now on trial in
New York, show that the lawyers are
producing some very queer testimony.
1t is we'll known that Commodore Van
der5ilt, for several years before his death
was believer in spiritualism, and that
he was dsluded into giving Mrs. Wood
hnll and Miss Tenne Claim large sums
of money. This fact may have suggest
ed to the contestants Of the will point to
be made in the Probate Court, for they
have produced as a witness a widow
Stoddart, whose husband was "a spiritual
medium" She test:les that the Goa mo.
dore was in the habit Of visiting their
house, and that VIM. II. Vanderbilt brib-
ed her husband with large sum of M on >
ey to give the old man pretended com.
munication from his wife, directing him
to will all his property to William, be-
cause. as the spirit said, be was the only
one to bs depended upon in matters of
business, and that all the other children

UNJUsT.-If any man in the State was
entitled to the united support Of the non
partisan Delegates in the Constitutional
Convention, that man was Marcus ID.
Boruck. He was the first TO suggest the
non bipartisan movement and labored Wig
orously for its success. An aspiravt for
the position Of Secretary Of thu Cenven.
ton, he should have been elected upon
the score OF merit slone, but it appears
that there were enough Delegates con-
trolled by their personal or polt ical pre-
JUDGES to compass his defeat. Without
intending 20 disparage his successful op-
ponent, Mr.. j. A. johnson, of Alameda.
we are decidedly Of The opinion that Mr..
Boruck can get along much better with
out the Secretary's Office than the Con-
ventisn can without his services. Mr..
Boruck was entitled to recognition at the
hands OF the non partisans and those who
opposed his election have done an act of
injustice.

MARCUS d. BoRUCK was serenaded
at the Golden Eagle Hotel. He nade a
short speech, in which be said that though
"music hath CHAINS to soothe the savage
breast" his heart was not savage, for he
could bSar defeat. He was supported by
the worth responsibility and decency of
the Convention, and he thanked God the
scent Of the sand lots did not cling to his
skirts. He repudiated these communis
tic and socislistic hordes before, and
would continue to do SO. He wanted no
Office at their hands.
