The Sacramento Union, the Bee, the S. F. Bul-
ltin, and various other opposition papers, oppose
the appointment of Senator by the Governor,
to fill the vacancy created by the death Of Mr.
Broderick Gov Weller should know that these
papers would mot take this position unless they
thought his failure to appoint would either in-
jure himself or his party. The politician who
acts upon the advice of the enemies of his party
is sure to find himself cast out by that party as
an unsafe agent.


1t is clearly the imperative duty of Governor
Weller to make this appointment. He has no
right even to hesitate No where, in either State
or Federal Constitution, is the power placed
within his discretion to say when it is to the in
terest of California to be but partly represented
in the Senatorial councils Gov. Weller nav
think that half representation in the United
States Senate for three or four months, or for
the whole session, may prove advantageous to
the State, but he has no right TO act upon such
thought That is no part of his business
Whether our State shall be fully represented or
not, is for the people. through their representa-
tives, to say. Gov. Weller has no voice in the
matter. As well might he say to the people of
San Francisco, g One of your Senators has re-
signed-l think it is 10 your interest not to have
a full delegation in the next State Senate-hence
| refuse to call special election" To be sure
he can do this if he chooses, but would it1sis'
right? And so of the vacancy in the atnltTu

ton makes it his duty to do or he may not, but
will his refusal to do so be right? We think
not, and hence hope he will make the appoint
ment As we said before, let him make such an
appointment as will be creditable to himself, and
even such an one as will promote his own
chances of success before the Legislature No
sensible man will find fault with such motive

This grand old Hero had glorious reception
at San FRANCISCO on Sunday last, upon the ar
rival of the steamer which bore him hither-
The whole military of the City, and the greater
portion of the entire population, turned out to
welcome the old warrior to these shores, which
his sword so ESSENTIALLY aided in winning for our
country. The S. F. Herald, speaking of the
affair, says of it


Fifty years hence, when San Francisco will
be a great City of million or more inhabitants,
when her distinguished guest of yesterday shall
have passed away, the child who witnessed,
with gladdened and delighted eyes, the pageant
OF his reception, then man advanced in years,
will tell with pride and self gratulation-that
long ago when San Francisco was yet in its in
fancy, and town of some eighty thousand peo
pie, he saw General Scott escorted through the
streets by an ardent and enthusiastic multitude,
garlanded with evergreens, and the recipient of
a homage so eager, so affectionate and so pro-
found as must have stirred the heart of the old
warrior to its lowest depths. The scene of this
ovation battles all description. Orderly it was,
too, and full OF dignity; not so noisy as if it
were not the Lords day, but so genuinely de-
monstrative of respect and veneration that its
sincerity could not be doubted. San Francisco
has never seen such sight, and it will be long
before she will such another Her citizens have
done themselves infinite credit, in paying so
handsome tribute to the illustrious veteran
whose duty calls him to our shores"


The following day. the old General proceeded
on his mission of peace, to settle atnicably the
difficulty growing out of the dispute as to which
Government, the American or British, belongs
the Island of San Juan, one of the De Haro
Archipelago, in the Straits of Fuca.

THE FooT Hills The exhibition of fruit at
the State Fair demonstrated the fact that all
kinds of fruit raised upon the red soil of the foot

This is especially true of grapes The finest on

have the right, and ought to assert it boldly,
to elect their own city officers, and also at
the same time to show the relative strength
of the two factions OF the day, within the
city. Every imported vote is n set off to one
of our own votes. The good citizens of the


place should take this matter in hand, and


show their determination, at the various
polls, to rule out the suffers and scoundrels


who, if challenged, will not dare to incur
the penalties of the law by committing per-
jitry and swearing in their votes" This is
no idle caution. Let us be sure that the hon.

SINGuLAR.-A child, some seven or eight
years of age, was brought into town a few
days ago from the country, for surgical

dislocated by sudden wrench in playing
"hide and seek" On Monday several phys
clans examined the dislocation and found it
a very critical case. The danger was that in
forcing the joint back into its place the spinal
marrow would be severed, thus causing in
slant DEATH The effort was made, however
and successfully. The head flew into its
proper position, and the child laughed with
Joy at the sudden relief afforded. The spinal
