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 re‘main in full force and effect until ~aitered of repealed by the Legisla— ture.”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.

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.

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.
