This, +f course, will save the county some hundreds of dollars of expense in the, first instance, but it will probably cost the pegplé, if not the county corporate, a great deal more than that'in the end, says the Independeat. -If the Board of Supervisors can legally appoint Justices fora full term, as they would be required to do on petition if none are elected at the proper time, they could legally do the same with with any andall othér county offices. We do not believe that the law contemplates giving them any such powers, and if i€ does ‘not, and no Justices. are elected at the time fixed by the Constitution, then after the expiration of present terms there will be no». legally qualified Justice iu the County. Io view of egal! and’facts, the Independent advises, the voters in every township of that county on the day fixed in the Governor’s proclamation—October 17— proceed to elect their Justices, carefully observing all provisions of the election law. In this county, it was rumored a few weeks ago, that the Supervisors would pursue the same course as that adopted by the Inyo Supervisors,but we do not think they wili'do it.

But the Postoffice Department squelebed that wheel, . A person’n letter should not be exposed to the gaze of the public. To fact itis not the general public’s basinessto know who is getting letters, Theliws and regulations goverving the Postoffice Department forbid such an exposition of letters as that wheel made, and very properly, we think, the wachine has been taken down. ‘The above we copy from the Grass Valley Union.. It is true. persons could go there and see who were getting letters and it is wiso true that it was u cofveinently arranged affair.
