Hon. Eugene Fawcett, Judge Of the

lst Judicial District, who will hold
Court here next Monday, publishes
in the San Francisco Bulletin, OF
the 9th inst, an article ON the
Judicial system of the State. The
Bulletin says: 1t differs from the
scheme put forward by Judge Hey.
denfeldt in that it makes very few
changes in the present system.
The author admits that it is not
strictly original with him, but has
been adapted from one recently
submitted to Congress by A. HI
Stephens, of Georgia. Under it the
present Courts would remain, with
the exception that the Probate
would be merged into the County
Court. The Supreme Court, Judge
Fawcett increases to six, which is
to he divided into two parts of
three each. These parts are to be
assigned to different districts. They
are to act as Courts of Appeal.
Constitutional questions, or ques-
tions especially reserved, are TO be
determined by full bench, which
is to hold two terms each year.
The Justices of the Supreme Court
are to be elected by the people, but
they are to continue in office dur
ing good behavior. After ten years
service they are to have the privi-
lege of retiring on half-pay.
A very small number of Work
ingmen-not over $50 at the out
side - assembled at the MERGED
Theater last night to ratify the
nominations made by the recent
Farmers Workingmen's Conven-
ton. An organization was effected
by the election of Robert Hughes
as Chairman and J. III. Butler
Secretary. Some little confusion
was created by the Kearney fac
ton attempting to get control Of
the meeting, but this soon sub
sided and business proceeded in a
quiet, orderly manner. Judge
Thompson, one of the candidates
for delegate, discussed the planks
of the platform seriatim. With re-.
gard to the anti-Chinese plank, he
took the high States rights
ground that the State has perfect
right to say who shall become its
citizens, and cited some New York
precedents in support of this posi-
ton. His speech throughout was
calm and temperate; and, before u
different audience, would be pro-
nounced good Democratic doctrine.
He was followed, in a short speech,
by Major Kinley, after which the
meeting adjourned.
The Republican County Central
Committee, at their recent meet.
ing, selected the following gentle
men as delegates to the non-par-
tizan Convention which meets at
San Jose on the 30 inst: General J.
r. Briefly, Col. J. G. Eastman,
J. G. Nichols, Mr.. G. III. Bradley
and General John Mansfield. Gen
erals Briefly and Mansfield left for
San Jose yesterday and will be fol-
lowed by Judge Nichols to-day,
probably Mr.. Bradley is already
on the ground. Col. Eastman,
owing to pressing legal engage
ments, will not be able to 80 and
has authorized General Briefly to
act as his proxy. Should Judge
Nichols be unable to attend the
same gentleman will act as his
proxy. From the above it will be
seen that the military portion of
our population will be well repre-
scented.
At the annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Pomona Or
chard Company, yesterday, the
following Board of Directors
aud officers were elected

and p. G. Tonner, d. N. Burritt
and Louis Phillips, of Pomona.
The Board organized by electing
the following officers: President,
H. X. w. Bent; Vice. President, V.
Ponet; Secretary, f. b. Tanning;
Treasurer, e. Germain.

sale of oils Of the Continental Oil
and Transportation Company, has
removed his warehouse from the
store opposite the new depot to No.
70 Spring street. Mr.. Ramsey has
not only Il full stock of the best
grades of Eastern and California
burning oils, but full supply Of

to give him call.
Tony Faber, of the Teutonia Sa-
loon, advertises in our Cuisines
Enterprise" column that from to.
day he will keep the celebrated
Fredericksburg lager beer on ice
during the remainder of the sea-
son, to be served TO his customers
as called for. He will also serve
hot and cold lunch from IL to 2
o'clock daily.
Some of the initiated say that, in
addition to the more classical music
which the jubilee presents, there is
to be given the old plantation bal
lad, so dear to every body, "Old
Folks at Home.n 1t IL safe to say
that no other single piece could add
more to the attractiveness of the
programme.
Fifteen farmers voted at the
Farmers Convention the other
day. Which fact, Notwithstanding
the magnetism of our able friend,
Judge Lindley, shows that there
are good many Democratic and
Republican farmers in Los Angelo
county, particularly Democratic
