sINGULARLY oBTUSE.

Governor Murray appears to be singu-
larly obtuse. He continues to state to re-
porters that Cannon is not a citizen. and
that therefore he could not give him GER
tifcate. He talks diffusively about the
records of the Courts, and the proofs OF
naturalization required, with an entire alb
sence of realization that the question of
Cannon's citizenship is one with which he
had nothing whatever to do, and which he
possessed no authority either to consider
or to adiudicate. The law told him plainly
that he was to issue certificate to the
candidate having the largest number of
votes. 1t was none of his affair who that
candidate might be. 1t was nothing to
him whether that candidate was or was not
a citizen. No law empowered him to sit
in Judgment upon the qualifications or the
eligibility OF Congressional Delegates. All
he had to do was to issue his certificate,
and he has issued it in defiance of the law,
to the man who was defeated instead of to
the man who was elected The more nonsense
he talks about the case, and the more fool
ishly he endeavors to justify course which
is indefensible, the palmer does it appear
that he ought to be removed from an office
his unftness for which is so glaringly
consniouous

STANDS AT TIE HEAD OF ALL "

[San Francisco Spirit of the Timesl
So far as enterprise is concerned in connection
with the daily press OF this State the news
papers OF Sacramento bear off the PALM We
are now called upon to refer to Sacramento news-
paper issue which in humble opinion stands at
the head of all newspaper enterprises OF the State
The SACRAMENTO REeoRp-USIoS of January LIST was
an issue of twenty pages containing more of we'll
selected and prepared newspaper meat than we ever
saw prepared before in such pubiea ion for there
was so much in it that it food almost beyond
consumption The general reader Of paper ike
the which calls forth this, thinks but little of
the great thought and labor necessarily ent4ied
upon those under whose guidance it is arranged 1t
is not done in an hour, day or month, but it re-
quires the greatest care the soundes determination
and the most mature Judgment One has only to
anceat the component parts the publication of the
RECORD Union of January1st toagree with that the
qualifications OF which We have just spoken, were
exercised to the fullest extent. The annual report
OF the Sacramento Board of Trade is document
well worthy of being read by all those taking in
in the welfare of the state general Y, and pa
ticularly in the advancement OF Sacramento. 1t is
replete with matters of interest. The statistical
portion OF the REcoRD-USIoy is invaluable, and adj
nlirably adapted for reference Take it altogether
it is grand newspaper, and do not use the word
in its common aceeptation 1t is grand in the ideas
sought to be conveyed by its publication, in its gen.
eral makeup, enterprise, and freedom from any
thing except that high standard which every Journal
conducted as admirably is the RECORD UsIos aims
to reach. Sacramento has every reason to be well
satisfied with her newspaper representatives.

THE PREVENTION OF NfPorIsM.

a bill has been introduced to amend
Section ITO of the Code of Civil Procedure.
It prohibits the Judge from presiding in
any case where either of the attorneys is
related to him by consapguinity or affinity
within the third degree. There is need
of such an amendment, and this, whether
such relationships are or are not free from
corrupt collision. The Judge may be
as impartial with an attorney who is re-
lated to him as with any other, but in all
such cases there is reason to believe that
the public will suspect the existence of
some secret understanding between the
relatives, and the result will be that
credulous suitors will take their business
to the attorney who is supposed to have
the ear of the Judge. Of course it is
not always that this is really the worst
effect of such relationship 1t can hardly
be possible for a son to practice
before father, nephew before an uncle,
or one brother before another, without the
Judge being affected, whether consciously
or unconsciously, by the consanguinity;
while it is evident that if there is any
tendency in the Judge toward nepotism or
corrupt collision, such relations with
attorneys are calculated to develop and en-.
courage them. 1t is therefore best, both
for the Judge and the public, that all pos
sibility of harm should be removed by the
adoption of such law as has been pro-
posed. The surest way to keep men pure
and upright is always to take from them
both temptation and opportunity. The
man who can be most implicitly trusted is
the man who has been deprived Of the
power of wrong doing and that is the
theory to be applied in the present case.
