As but few people heard Daniel, when sung by the choir under Mir. Smiths guidance nearly thirty years ago, and the same piece open question whether, this out-ranked the other, or the reverse. They were both pro- nounced first best," and a large audience was in attendance, last week. ...

 The Cantata of Daniel" or ''the Captivity, and Restoration" is musical composition by George F. Root and Wm. B. Bradbury It is of popular character and entirely within the capacity of ordinary choir singers Still. in order to present it to the proper appreciation and acceptance ef a cultivated audience, con- siderable care and attention is required on the part of the performers to an intelligent con- ductor. independent of thorough knowledge and practice of ordinary musical rendering This Cantata was finely given, last Tuesday evening" in Washington, by singers from Woodbury. led by Mir Earl Buckingham, and assisted in the choruses by the Washington Congregational church choir. Woodbury has good material for such a rendering in rich voices, especially on' the soprano and alto parts, while the tenor and bass solos found there very fair medium of expression. The night was favorable and the renovated church entertained quite numerous and we'll pleased audience. The receipts will go towards the expenses of furnishing the church. This was the first entertainment given there, since the change made in the location of organ and choir, and the advantages of the improvement for such purposes especially, were very mani- fest and sources of congratulation on the part of all concerned.

San Francisco has condemned Chinatown" as nuisance-ne doubt justly-for if there are any laws of health they are most con- temptuously ignored in that portion of the chief city of the Pacific coast. Now lot the authorities of New York city enforce just as severe rules against squalor and crowding, and nastiness in that metropolis, and then we shall be sure there is no demagogism in the dOings al San Francisco.

The proposed constitutional amendment re- garding appointment of judges is as fol- lows: "~
 "The judges of the supreme and superior courts shall, upon nomination of the Governor, be appointed by the general assembly in such manner as shall by law be prescribed.
 The foregoing was reported favorably to the House, last week, and we trust that it will secure the required two thirds vote and be submitted to the people. ....
 The bill changing terms of the Superior Court in this county passed the House, last week. It provides that terms shall be held on the first Tuesday of June for civil cases by the court; third Tuesday of August and first Tues day of December for civil cases, and first Tuesday of April and second Tuesday of Oc- tober for criminal business; also provides for docketing of pending cases.
 We understand that this bill is favorably viewed by the judges, and it will probably be passed blythe Senate.
 Thus far there have been few really sharp contests in the legislature, that on the Had dam contested election case having been the most spirited. This week, however, the Boundary report, opposed as it is by MT. Stan- ton, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, and by the members from several of the coast towns, will probably be the occasion of very sharp fight. We have little reason for finding fault with the decisions of the Commlssion.

The appointing power of the United States executive during Grants presidency, especial- ly near the close of his second term, was prac- tically wielded by a Senatorial Junto, chief among whom were Conkling, the Camerons, Morton and Chandler. We use the term ''Sen- atorial' advisedly; for, though the gentlemen mentioned were not at the time all Senator's they derived their power from their influence In that body and not from any direct hold on the people. Indeed the sort of influence they extent that the Republican National Conven- tion of 1876 declared against it in the following unmistakahle lanpuape.
