The Democratic Judiciary Nominations.


The committee appointed by the Demo
cratic Judicial Convention to inform Judge
Burke OF his nomination as II candidate for
Associate Judge, very properly congratulate
ulated the Democrats of Hartford and Balti-
more counties upon the choice of candidate
made through their representatives. 1t is, in
deed, source of cOngratulation that both of
the candidates for Judgeship-Judge Fowler
as well as Judge Burke-are men for whom
no citizen need hesitate to vote. Judge Fow-
Ter has been on the bench for seven years, and
has shown himself 10 be an upright wise
and impartial Judge. No man on the bench
has labored more arduously and asslduously
and he deserves the promotion to the Chief
Judgeship of the Circuit. Judge Burke,
while new to the duties Of the position which
he now holds by appointment of the Govern
or, is one of the brightest lawyers of Balti-
more county. He is gentleman of fine
ability, courteous and dignifed in manner,
possessing the confidence and warm esteem
of all who know him, and he, too, should re-
ceive every Democratic vote in both coun-
ties.
The Judiciary is II high and sacred trust,
and Democrats may well !cel proud that they
have an opportunity of continuing on the
bench two such mcn as Judge Fowler and
Judge Burke.

"Then California gains considerable ter

well, you. know" replied the engineer,
that is not a matter that we can decide.
The State boundaries were recognized and
declared by Congress. and neither State
nor its agents can alter boundary line.
We are now working out the details of our
labors and when completed, the facts will
be laid before Professor Davidson, of the

Surveyor-General Reichart was also

can be substantiated, he should not be

A Very Loud Fish Becomes the Cause of
a Louder Saloon Row.
Matt. McManus, fisherman, had W.
w. Cone arrested last night on a charge of
battery. He claimed that Cone struck him
with his cane in the Forrest saloon, and
without cause. Cone and the proprietor of
the saloon, Fred. Gruhler, tell quite differ
ent stories of the affair. They say that
McManus and another man entered the
saloon with salmon; that McManus
slammed the odoriferous carcass of the
fish upon the counter and demanded beer :;
that the proprietor demurred to such con-
duct, and that the fish wielder repeated it !;
that Gruhler ordered the two men out, and
that Cone advised them to go, when they
abused him; that Gruhler then undertook
to eject them, when they assaulted him,
and that Cone stepped in and showed
McManus and his partner out on the side
walk.
Gruhler says he will have both the men
arrested on separate charges of battery and
disturbing the peace.

An Old Citizen Rendered Dangerously
Insane by Severe Illness.
About eight years ago James S. Burns,
whose family resides at 70S street, under
went severe attack of typhoid fever, and
since that time has given frequent evil
dences of mental alteration. His mania
lately assumed dangerous tendency, and
he has frequently threatened to do injury
to members of his family. He has been
in the habit of secreting weapons of vari-
GUS kinds about his house and under his
bed, and of late the members of his family
have been in dread of his carrying his
threats of violence into execution.
Yesterday it was deemed necessary to
place the unfortunate man under restraint.
He was taken into custody, examined by
the Commissioners in Lunacy, and COM
mitted to tie Napa Asylum. Mr.. Burns is
native of ireland, aged &c years, night
Waterman by occupation, and the father
of eleven children. He has always been a
temperate, industrious citizen, and his
family is greatly distressed over his mis-
fortune

BY this section each policeman has an inter
est in the Police Department fund. The fund
can be used for no other purpose than the pay
ment OF salaries of the ponce officers and the
expenses tthe Police Department. 1t is sac
red fund for those purposes. But when it is ex-
hausted the policemen are entitled to payment
OF their salaries out of the general fund, as
their right to salary is not dependent upon there
being money in the Police Department fund,
but nevertheless they have an Interest in this
fund, and having an interest in the fund, any
one of the policemen have a right TO maintain
an action to compel the levy of the special tax
TO replenish IL.
The defendant, the Board of Trustees of the
city, has declined TO levy the tax though de-
mand has been made for it. 1t is but just to
the gentlemen who compose the Board OF Trus-
tees to say that as there were so many doubts
surrounding their powers and duties under the
law, 1t was wise for them to await definition
Of their powers and duties in relation to levy
ing the tax by the Court; but the view the Court
takes of the case is that the Board of Trustees
do not only have power, but it is their duty to
levy the special tax; and it follows that per-
emptory writ of mandate should issue as prayed
for in the petition of the plaintiff. The counsel
for the plaintiff are directed to prepare findings
and submit them to the Court, and upon filing
findings it is ordered peremptory writ of man.
