B10 2. oe ‘ sons and i EE The Daily Transcript. NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA. * Saturday, Sept. 18th, 1880. ——— Shall County Officers be Elected this Fall? The Supreme Court having decided that the County Government bill passed last winter is unconstitution— al, null and void, has léd many perto believe that there will be no élection for.county officers this fall, but we are of the opinion that the election is required and is just as material as if the law of the last session had been held good. This law, so far as it relates to elections, _-merely_reiterates the clearly appar— ent intention of the Constitution. “ScHEDULE—Th it noinconvenience may arise from the alterations and amendments in the Constitution of this State, and tocarry the same into complete effect, it is hereby. ordained and declared: Section 1. That all laws in force at the adoption of this Constitution, not inconsistent therewith, shall. re‘main in full force and effect until ~aitered of repealed by the Legisla— ture.” Thus the old law, the one under which we —haye-conducted —-al our county affairs for many . years past, remains in full force and effect. It provides for the election of certain county officers ‘in the year .1879, whose term of office should be two ‘years from.tle next ensuing first Monday in March. But now .comes Section 10-of the same-article of the Constitutien, which reads as follows: ‘Sec. 10. In order that fiture elections in this State shall couform tothe requirements of the Constitu— tion, the terms of all officers elected at the first election under the same shall be, respectively, one. year shorter than the terms as fixed. by law or this Constitution; . and. the guccessors of all such officers shall be elected atthe last election before the expiration of the teyms-as inthis sectioa provided, The first officers” chosen, after the adoption of this’ Constitution, [1879] ehall be elected at the time and in the manner now provided by law. Judicial officers and the Superintendent of Public « Jnstruction shall be elected at the time and inthe manner that State officers are elected. From this it appears to us there can be no doubt but all officers elected in 1879, State, county and township, will have to surrender the, same one year short of the time fixed by law, Consequently all: our county officers, except*the Superintendent of Schodi#and Assessor, elected last fall, must step down out on the first _Monday in March next. Supervis— ors elected at the same time tor three years, will hold two, and re— tire to the shades of private life a year from this fall. Therefore there will be no supervisoral elections in the 3d and 5th districts,” and with "these exceptions the labor of the Republican convention Wednesday has not been in vain. The candidates nominated will be elected, and when othe first Monday in March comes they’ will all, including Brother Jonathan Clark, assume the duties ‘of their respective offices, er ne LF AI rer Edtorial Notes. WE ARE ISFURMED that Governor * Perkins has for some time contemplated calling an extra session of the Legislature to provide for ho'ding county elections: in case the County Goverament Bill was* declared unconstjtitional, as has proven to be the case. Tuurspay the Supreme Court de— . : cided that the State Board of Equalization could not raise individualassessments, but could equalize coun ties only. This settles a point about which there has been much dispute, and the result will be to relieve the State Board of much, labor that would necessarily follow the course it had marked out, WHAT could contain more sarcastiv-truths in a brief space than the following from Col. Eee Crandall, Secretary of the National Greenback Party, to Hon. W. A. Wallace, Chairman of the Democratic Comrhittee of Pennsylvania: ‘‘Dear Sir: {nu behalf of the Greenback Labor Party, permit me to express my gratification at the unsolicited and magnanimous act of the Democracy in celebrating the vietory which our _._sparty has gained over the hard money oligarchy inthe State of. Maine, and to say it shallever remain en— .gtaved upon our memories as one of. the most gracious acts of the gailant ut retiring Democracy,” fas Pe pocket and selecting something from . } Confederate bank-note across the ve‘lar monthly meeting Thursday eveREPUDIATION. ie count. 3 “Do you take Hancock money here ?” asked a stranger yesterday of a Democratic barkeep in a Democratic saloon in this city. “Rather have it-than any other response. “Step and take something boys,” said*the generous unkngwn, turning to the loungers. They all came to the front with alacrity.— One took a ‘‘Hancock-punch,” another a “Garfield toddy,”’ another said he never drank anything but ‘“‘solid-south-lemonade,” a fourth wanted some ‘‘Maine-tonic,” and so on. The drinkers pus ‘down two dol— were easi!y prevailed upon by the stranger to take a second look at the bottom of their :tumblers. ‘Four dollars, J believe,”-said the party. who had dene the inviting, ‘That's the majority in my favor,” assented the bar-tender epigrammatically: —_—~ oe The stranger made a lightning-like wink afa warning tw ‘the specta— tors to be on their guard, then slowly took a roll of paper from his. vestit deliberately shoved a five-dollar neered bar, and said + “Give me the change in-halves.” ‘“What’s this,” asked: the astonished gin-slinger feeling of the shinplaster and eyeing the stranger suspiciously, “Hancock money, to be sure,” It took the victim, about a York minute to see the point, ‘The stranger did not have time to wait for the change, Ifhe had waited the back of his head would have been smashed in by a glass décauter that followed his rapidly—retreating form threugh the door, He stopped for breath when he got four blocks away and found he wasn’t pursued. ‘Just like those — — Hancockers,” he muttered to-himself as he winked at a lamp-post ; ‘‘they repudiate everything, if you only give ‘em time enough,” No arrests. City T aitees Mecting. \ The City Trustees held their-feguning, a fuil Board being present. An amendment to fire ordinance No. 9, to prevent the building of . tires in barns, sheds, or structufes, unless the same be in a stove or fireplace which is connected with a chimney by a stove-pipe, was enacted.

The following business was transacted yesterday in the Superior Court, Hon. John Caldwell presiding: Hees Wow a Republican Strange Tested the Sincerity ofa Dembcratic Barkecper—Harcock Money at a Diskind, bet your life,” was the prompt ‘Twenty-seventh EMMET IN COURT. The Comedian and Justice Wan@ell Have a Spicy Dialogue — “Fritz” Displays a Weakness for Clam Seup, —-Mr. Joseph K. Emmet, the actor, better known tothe people of Nevada City and Grass Valley as “Pritz,” in which character he delighted thém two years ago, was taken before Justice Weandell, at the Jefferson Market ‘Police Court, New York City, on the 9th instant. The Mail says that he wore a black broadcloth suit, white necktie; and carried in his hand a black silk hat, which looked as though an attempt had been made to iron it out witha brick. Mr. Emmet’s hair was in “bangs,” bis eyes were bloodshot, and his fine shit was spattered here ! ; somewhat. unsteady . as_ he was to the iron rail in-front of the mag-~ istrate’s desk. Now and then he ‘pressed one hand over his forehead, as though in pain. “Mr. Emmet,” said his Honor, “the officer says he found you ‘last night, or rather this. morning, at street and Sixth avenue, helplesely intoxicated.” Emmet—*‘Pos-pos-pos’bly y’r’onor. It’s not fus’ time, y’r’onor.: It’s not-~-” Magistrate—‘‘Indeed?” Emmct—'‘‘No, sir, I’ve been Magistrate—‘‘Very well, Mr, Emmet, I'll see_you later.” Emmet—‘‘Ah, ~ later, much laser:—later.” Magistrate—‘‘Well, reasonably.’ Emmet—‘‘Ah, reasonably, ‘yer Honor. ‘Thank you.” Magistrate—‘*We'll have-to—take care of you awhile, until you get straizhtened up and can look out for yoursel!.” ” b—how you'll see me l-later,” and witha bow to the Court and e quizzical smile he was led by the officer to the hospital ward of the prison, when he declared that he wanted some clam soup, ‘The best medicine you ‘can take, ” ‘. said Dr. Hardy, who chanced to be}; there, and at once*the clam soup was ordered for the comedian. Mr. Emmet’s son, a bright young fellow, was in court, and the magistrate told him to come back Saturday or Sunday, end he’d decide what it was best to do with -his father. Narrow Escape of Three Miners. The Grass Valley Union of yesterday says : ‘‘Matthew Provines, who has the contract for pumping out the Empire mine, on Ophir Hill, went down the shaft to the 800-foot level Thursday morning, accompanied by John: Ross and a boy, to assist him in some work.in connection wiih the pump. The air, which had been foul for several days, soon affected them so much that they lost control of their actions. The men above heard them shouting in a wild manner, and hastened down to their assistance, where they found them acting as if crazy. As the truek only run down to the 600-foot level, and there was but a ladder-way from that’ :to the 800 level, greaé difficulty was experienced in getting them up to the truck, as they had-to be handed up bodily by means of ropes, and when there they were so helpless that they had to be tied to the truck and hoisted to the surface, which they reached in an exhausted condition.
