The correct Course.

Our fellow-citizen, Judge Sepu!-
veda, has been requested, by an
almost unanimous public senti.
ment in the upper portion of the
State, to become q candidate for
delegate at large to the Constitu.
tional Convention. In response to
numerous kilograms from inf1uen-
entail quarters in San Francisco
aud elsewhere, the Judge respond
81 by polite but perenptory de-
clination. He does not regard it
as in keeping with the judicial
dignity that Judges should partici-
pate in Convention that will I'M.
doubtedly seriously modify the
status of our judiciary. We con-
fess that we heartily sympathize
with Judge Sepulveda in this con.
c'usion. The whole tenor of Eng
lish and American Jurisprudence
has leaned to the careful divesting
OF Judge from any possible con-
nection with politics. A personal
Interest, or supposed personal in
terest, should never, under any
circumstances, be apparent in the
career Of Judge. Should any
considerable number of our Dis
trict Judges be members of the ap.
proaching Constitutional Conven.
ton, and should the present Con-
stitution be modified in its judicial
features, with the vulgar personal
motives would be supposed to have
operated with the judicial men,
bers of the Convention, who would,
OF course, have great weight. Such
an imputation, merely as a posi-.
bility, would soil the ermine. 1t is
this consideration which leads us
to heartily commend an attitude
on the part of Judge Sepulveda
which will divest the Constitution
al ticket, with whose success we
sympathize, of an element of great
popular strength. We acquiesce
In the action of Judge Sepulveda,
although we believe that tone
blast upon that bugle horn is
worth a thousand men,"

comment is, that although the re.
port may be true, 1t cannot be of
any material service to the Blair

ident Hayes from office.
Earthquake in Dac0tsh.
BISMARCK, April oath. Three
distinct shocks of earthquake were
felt at Glendale and Yellowstone
on the 18th. They occurred at in
tervals of half an hour.
Bills Passed by shs se"ate.
WASHINGTON, April 24.-Among
the bills passed by the Senate
while working on its calendar, to-
day, were two local California bills
introduced this session by Booth.
The first provides that the claim
ants of the rancho Las Cruces, in
Santa Barbara county, may present
their title to the United States Dis
trict Court for adjudication, regard
less of the inadvertent omission OF
the original grantees to submit it
to the California Land Commits
sion. The other proposes to re-
lease to the assigns of John Cutler
the United States's title to a small
tract of land near Visalia, conveyed
by him to the Government in 1866
as q site for q barracks. The Senate
also passed bills giving the United
States Courts In Utah and other
Territories exclusive jurisdic-
ton of divorce cases which
are now so fraudulently
treated by many Utah Courts and
annulling the act of the Legisla-
ture of New Mexico by which
special privileges OF schools, ETC.,
were granted to the Society of
Jesuit Fathers. These four meas.
ures are Senate bills and, there.
fore, have yet to be passed by the
House.
The bill introduced by Senator
Dennis to-day authorizing the
Southern Pacific Railroad to run
through the Yuma Military Reser-
walton, grants a strip 200 feet wide
for right of way and empowers the
company to take any government
timber, stone or earth necessary fol
construction purposes.
Senator Eaton's bill to authorize
the maintenance Of the Southern
Pacific Railroad bridge across the
Colorado river, provides that the
bride must be so constructed as not
to obstruct navigation, but must
have draw of sufficient space to
permit any steam er or other vessel
navigating said river to pass at all
times safely and expeditiously.

will be obliged to give up their at
tention SO unremittingly to "shak :
ing" that they will have neither
time nor energy to cobble shoes or
to devote to any other forms of in
dustry. This is rough on the Grim.
inal class and on the State as we'll.
Judge Holloway, one of our repre-
ssntatives, failed to secure an APP
preparation for branch of the
State Prison to be located at Los
Angeles. Here the physical health
of the criminals would be SO per-
feet that they could have given up
their whole attention to manual
labor from which the State would
have profited. 1t is curious cir
cumstance that Judge Holloway,
in his attempt to secure this boon
for this county, utterly failed to
receive the CO operation of oui
Board of Supervisors, who seemed
| to think that the criminals, after
their period of Incarceration had
elapsed, would take up their per-
manent abode here-an entirely
| erroneous idea, for they always &c
as far away as possible from the
scene Of their imprisonment 'ant
disgrace. II Is quite possible tina,
ii the Board had warmly seconded
Judge Holioway's efforts we NIGH
have had the branch prison.

THE frauds by which the fraudu-
lent Hayes was made President,
like the concentric folds of an on
ion, are enwrapped fold within
fold. Without the vote of Califor-
mia, even with the Federal bull
doing of the electoral votes of
South Carolina, Louisiana and
Florida, Hayes could not have been
made President. Now comes along
Mr.. Kaplan, the recently appointed
Registrar of Election, whom Mr..
Pixley, the courtier of Kearney on
the rostrum. the denouncer of
Kearney in the sanetum, (the lat
ter ct a safe remove) denounced as
"a Jew and o Polish Jew" and
says that the vote of San Francisco
should have been $1,000 instead oil
900. This Mr.. Kaplan, Jew or
Gentle, as the case may be, seems
to be an honest man. He has
found out taat the honest vote oil
San Francisco, at the last Presi
Dental election, should not have
been more than $1,000 instead Of
the Al, 900 which made the vote Of
California count for Hayes instead
of Tilden. Shades of the immor-
tai oliver Perry Morton! Have we
| to summon thee from the tomb to
be responsible for this villainy?
We gave thee the customary tulo-
CYSTIC obituary, perforce, when
thou did'st die. A perfunctory
performance admits of qualifica-
ton, though the man be dead. We
are inclined to think that the con-
iding Democracy, which sought to
save itself On Oregon, was
most abominably sold out in the
California election.

WE take view of the LegisIa.
tive session question entirely differ
ent from most of our contempora
ries. We are hearty believer in
annual sessions. If a Legislature
misbehaves itself it is, in our ap-
probation, a fine thing to have a
popular rebuke rung into its ears
before its bad deeds are cold. In
two years the political situation is
often SO modified that the memory
ofan unfaithful administration of
a popular trust is lost upon a
volatile people. We are in favor of
annual sessions, and having the
election for the State Legislature
held within thirty days after the
adjournment of a Legislature, so
that the people may register, in an
instantaneous verdict, just what
they think of the people whom
they have elected to represent their
interests. 1t is an intolerable
thing to rest under the operation of
q bad law for two whole years.
The necessity of frequently ac.
counting to the people is a thor
ough guarantee of honest legis-
lation.

Ii is curious fact that Los An
geles county, which furnishes a
larger quota Of boarders in the
State Penitcntiary than any other
county in the State, except San
Francisco, was denied q branch of
the State Prison by the last session
of the Legislature. The State is
put to the expense of sending these
malefactors to immense distances,
while we might accommodate
them, at slight expense, at our very
doors. Besides, living is nowhere
so cheap as in Los Angeles-anoth-
er source of economy.
