The Acoada Journal. ‘ihe Sheriffaity. Considerable difference of opinion seems to exist throughout the community in reference to the Sheriffalty of this county, the point in dispute being the legality of Mr. Butterfield’s appointment by the Board of Supervisors. Those who deny Butterfield’s right to the office aré divided into two parties— one party claiming that Grimes, the Coroner, is ex-officio Sheriff, until the expiration of the term for which the late Sheriff was elected, and the otherasserting that inasmuch as a general eleeticn intecvened between the death of Mr. Wright and the appointment of Butterfield, Mr. Boring who was then elected as Wright’s successor, is entitled to fill the vacancy. The reasoning in support of both of these opinions seems to us sufficiently fallacious, and the action of the Board of Supervisors, we believe, will be found on examination to be in exact accordance wiih the statutory provisions applicable to such cases. Had Wright continued to live, his term of office would, by special statute. continued to the 26th day of May, TR57. —Aetls of 1856, p. 108. The fact of his having died before the expiration of his term cannot affect its duration. The term still exists, and will continue to exist until it expires by the legal limihis death caused a vacancy, and the only question tation, and of course has is as to the mode of filling that vacancy. We admit, that upon the death of the late incumbent, the “powers and duties” by operation of law devolved immediately on the Coroner, wil the election or appointment of a new Sheriff.—Rer. By section 47 of “An Act concerning officers,” (passed April Laws, p. 773. 28th, 1851—p. 47 Revised Lavws,) . the power cof apppointment cf ali county officers, except County Judge, is vested in the Court of Sessions — Inasmuch, however, as the Court of Sessions could not constitutionally perform the duty of filling vacancies by appointment, that power devolved on the Governor, by virtue of section 8, Art. V., of the Coustitution, uxt the Legislature should provide some other constitutional Upon the formation of Boards cf Supervisors in the various counties of mode. .}the State, the power of appointment was given to them, not asa newly created authority, but as one already existing ;* or o , to speak more properly, the power which had before been vested in the Governor by the constitution, was transferred to the Board of Supervisors. — Statutes of 1856, p, 6. This very question, so far as it affects the right of the Coroner, was elaborately discussed by the Supreme Court of this State, in the case of the People ces. Phoenix, (January term, 1856,) when all of the legislative enactments having the least bearing on the point, were earefully examined and compared. In that case, the Court held that, although upon the occurrence of a vacancy in the office of Sheiiff, the Coroner became Sherif by operation of law, yet, that his term of office was limited or put an end to by the exercise of the appointing power by the Board of Supervisors.— Hence, if the Board of Supervisors had seen proper to appoint within one hour after the death of the late incumbent, the Coroner would have been Sheriff for that hour, and n> longer. In support of the claims of Mr. Boring, it is urged (not by himself however) that because the appointment was made subsequent to a general election, held after the death of Wright, it is therefore a nullity and that Boring having been chosen at such election to succeed W. W. Wright, is entitled to the vacant office by virtue of such election. By what course of reasoning this view is supported, it is difficult to conjecture, unless it is founded upon the language of the act already referred to, which limits the time of the appointment to a county office until the next general election. If such be the argument in support of Mr. Boring’s right, it is only necessary in order to refute it, to state what all must admit viz: That Boring was chosen to fill a specific term succceding the term for which Mr. Wright was elected. He was not elected to succeed the late incumbent in a moiety or fraction of his term, in ease he should vacate it before itsexpiration, but te fill a whole and entire term, coming after Wright’s term, and having not the least connection with or dependence upon it. To dispose of this question entirely it is only necessary to 1efer to the case of the People vs. Porter (January term S. C., 1856.) In that case the vacancy occurred in the office of County Judge by resignation, on the 13th August. On the 5th day of the ensuing September a general election was held, and on the 8th of September, Porter was appointed by the Governor to fill the vacancy These were the principal facts, except that a gentleman actually became a candidate JOURN . that the small majorities in these States . watering pl ge SER He eS F3 WHOLE NUMBER 340 for the vacant Judgeship, and received at the election of the 5th as many as 1,200 votes. Yet the Supreme Court determined that the appcintee of the Governor was entitled to the office The only difference in that ease, and this of Mr. Butterfield, consists in the fact, that in one the Governor is clothed with an appointing power; in the other the Board of Supervisors. It seems to us very clear, that by the provisions of law, and decided cases referred to above, all objections of a mere legal nature to Mr. Butterfield’s appointment are fully and satisfactorily disposed of. For the purpose of defeating the appointment before it was made, and of throwing discredit on itsince, arguments of a purely political and personal character have been resorted to. Of course no trdividual has a right. to speak ezcathedra~t this sort, if they can be ealled arguments. All that can be said, is that of those who participated in the appointment, the majority are democrats, who in their standing with their party, and devotion to its principles, are at least equal to those who have raised such boisterous opposition to thelr action— They are most probably men, who notwithstanding their love of party, are yet able to conceive of a higher motive for action in an affair growirg out of peenliarly distressing cireumstances, than mere allegiance to political party. That they have acted mest wisely on this occasion, is sufficiently proved by the universal concurrence of the people in the opinion of Mr. Butterfield’s entire fitness for the position in which their * action has placed him. Tue Exvecrion—The public mind seems to be absorbed in the news from the East everything else. almost to the exclusion of It is natural that 80 . itis. Who are to be our rulers is a question which intimately concerns us all. A great problem is to be solved, in which the weal or woe of the Republic The election in Pennsylvania, on the 14th ult., may be looked is embraced. upon as the harbinger of the grand reThe defeat of the Republicans in that State, though it by no means decides the contest, is a strong sult in November. indication that James Buchanan is to be the next President of the United States. The result in Indiana adds strength to the Democratic chances. There is stiil left some slight hope to the oppositien, may have been overcome by energetic . action on the 4th inst., and that some of the Southern States may have been carried by Fillmore—enough to balance the vote of Pennsylvania; but the chances are rather ruinous to solace in that quarter. The Baltimore charter election exhibited a strong Fillmore feeling in Maryland, and it were highly probable that, did not the result of the State election in Pennsylvania show the necessity for men of the South to a between Buchanan and Fremont, Maryland and other slave States would have given their electoral votes to the Union candidate of New York. Southern men are guided in their political views by self interest. If the, State election in Pennsylvania had gone’ in favor of the Republican party, a decided advance in Fillmore’s prospects) It would} have been seen that Buchanan was out}! of the game, and the South would have taken Wise’s view of the candidates, that “Fillmore is an angel of light compared to Fremont.” The deteat of the Republicans in. Pennsylvania was the turning point in the canvass. It may be said, ina great degree, to influence the general result, and in the minds of a majority of men, to decide the contest. The Democrats will probably have the entire control of the Government for two years to come. Henry Clay was eut down as he was mounting the zenith of honors, by the ‘tongue of detraction. His slanderer fills his place. Such is the ingratitude of Republics. might have been expected. Favors.—George Welch will please accept thanks for Harper, Hutchings’ California Magazine, and the earliest Atlantic papers by the late steamer.— Plenty of good things at his counter, Pioneer Book Store. To Hamlin, of Broad street, we are indebted for Harper, Washington papers, Golden Era, and polite attentions generally. Fine stock of Books and litera) ture at Hamlin’s. {# The printers celebrated the ¢entenual anniversary of the introduction of printing into New Hampshire, Portsmouth, on the Gth of October. The number of persons present is estimated at from 5,000 to 10,000. It wa a “feast of reason and flow of the soul.}’ Poems, speeches, toasts, wit and hum the order of the day. Among the poets, P. B. Shillaber, (Mrs. Partington,) was conspicuous, Hich Prices ron Horses.—Porter’s Syirit of the Times, in quoting-the ‘sale of. the horse “Lexington,” says tis possibly true that Lexington has baen disposed of by Mr. Ten Broeck for $15,000, but the idea expressed that this is the highest price ever paid for any horse in the United States, is not only preposterous, but ridiculous. Delivered here, Priam costs over $25,000. Rodolph sold fur $18,000—yes, Rodolph, the hum: bug! Monmouth Eclipse sold for $14,000, and was worth about twenty shillings! Post Boy who was the northern champion, and ran against John Baseombe (getting jolly beaten) was sold for $18,000. Neither he nor Baseombe were worth “shucks.” Shark and Medley sold for $10,000 each. ‘The first was originally worth, as a stallion, tweniy shillings; the second not the powder and-shot that should kill him ! EXPENSIVE CHURCHES.—Noticing the recent completion of the Baptist Church inthe Fifth Avenue, New York, at a cost of about $100,000, a correspondent of the Boston Journal remarks : “We have now hardly a church that men of moderate meanscan attend. Most of the down town churches have removyed their places, but substantial houses have given place to the costly and showy structure ; pew rents have risen accordingly. Hundieds and hundreds of families in New York, genteel but not wealthy, are without church or society, because they cannot afford to pay the pew rents. A man can do as he pleases with his own house; but these who erect places cf public worship and put the expenses of public worship above the reach of the average of society, do society substantial and enduring wrong. The Sabbath belongs to the poor man The Gospel is his. ‘lo the poor belong the ordinances.” CostLy Biro —Rev. J. E. Edwards, of Richmond, Virginia, now in Geneva, Switzerland, visited a jeweler in that city and says: “He set on his counter a box, mounted with massive gold, on the top of which there was a large enameled tulip, apparently just bursting into full bloom. He touched a little spring, and suddenly the flower expanded into full blossom, and right in the heart of it there sprung up a sweet little bird, of golden plumage, which began to ilutter its tiny wings, and sing as I have thought notLing but areal bird, flesh and bones, could do so cheerful, so bird-like, opening its tiny beak at every note, and really singing a bird song, such as is sometimes heard ringing out in a dewy. copse at early morn. ‘The price of this box was one thousand dollars.” “CatCHING” JEWELRY.’—The Em press Kagenia seems to be a capital hand at whiling away her own and other people’s time, when residing at obscure aces, where the aecustomed resources of royal gaiety are at fault. One game that she invented, and which ves much delight, wasthis.: A costly jewel is placed upon a saucer, covered with an inverted teacup: a lady then tosses them to a gentleman seated on the opposite side of the room, and if ke catches the flying utensils with sucha steady hand that the jewel is not displaced from under the cup, the gem becomes the property of the lady; Of course the galiant who is to “eateh’’ feels an intense solicitude, inasmuch as the prize for the lady which his adroitness may gain or his awkwardness lose, has a value which renders its possession exceedingly desirable, and makes. its 1 It is said that loss actually desirable. the Emperor is the best “catcher” of them all; and when he is present the game is played with an enthusiasm which would rival that of a thickly populated nursery. Vore or Towns.—The vote polled in the larger cities and towus of this State on the 4th of November was as follows : San Francisco 12,152 Sacramento, 4,601 Nevada, 2,085 Marysville, 1,880 Oroville, 1,688 Columbia, 1,374 Stockton, 1,308 Grass Valley, 1,298 Iowa Hill, 1,249 Placerville, 1,015 Sonora, 931 Downieville, 731 Georgetown, 567 Auburn, a22 Tue Cost or THE War To ENGLAND. —The cost of the late war to England is now ascertained to have been, in round nuinbers, £80,600,000. No per maneut addition was, however, made to the national debt. ‘The revenues of the two years of the war and the present year have borne two-thirds of the ex pense, and the remainder will be ab sorbed in the course of the next sixteen years. Vatug or Rervuration.—Daniel Webster, when a young lawyer, was employed in a case for which he received a fee of eighteen dollars. Later in life he was employed in a similar case and received a fee of five thousand dollars, though he used tho same brief. which he had prepared for the first case. Nor Bap,—A Yankee rather ‘took down a cockney, the other day, by informing him if England were a steamboat, there are lakes in this country sufficiently large for her to founder on. Cockney said, “My hies, vot a vopper !”’ and they adjourned to take a mug of “alf and ’alf.” Tuat’s So.—One of our exchanges says it is “aggravating’’ to see a goodlooking man wrestling with your wife in a waltz, without having the privilege of going up and tightening his neckerchief.

The Acoada Journal. ‘ihe Sheriffaity. Considerable difference of opinion seems to exist throughout the community in reference to the Sheriffalty of this county, the point in dispute being the legality of Mr. Butterfield’s appointment by the Board of Supervisors. Those who deny Butterfield’s right to the office aré divided into two parties— one party claiming that Grimes, the Coroner, is ex-officio Sheriff, until the expiration of the term for which the late Sheriff was elected, and the otherasserting that inasmuch as a general eleeticn intecvened between the death of Mr. Wright and the appointment of Butterfield, Mr. Boring who was then elected as Wright’s successor, is entitled to fill the vacancy. The reasoning in support of both of these opinions seems to us sufficiently fallacious, and the action of the Board of Supervisors, we believe, will be found on examination to be in exact accordance wiih the statutory provisions applicable to such cases. Had Wright continued to live, his term of office would, by special statute. continued to the 26th day of May, TR57. —Aetls of 1856, p. 108. The fact of his having died before the expiration of his term cannot affect its duration. The term still exists, and will continue to exist until it expires by the legal limihis death caused a vacancy, and the only question tation, and of course has is as to the mode of filling that vacancy. We admit, that upon the death of the late incumbent, the “powers and duties” by operation of law devolved immediately on the Coroner, wil the election or appointment of a new Sheriff.—Rer. By section 47 of “An Act concerning officers,” (passed April Laws, p. 773. 28th, 1851—p. 47 Revised Lavws,) . the power cof apppointment cf ali county officers, except County Judge, is vested in the Court of Sessions — Inasmuch, however, as the Court of Sessions could not constitutionally perform the duty of filling vacancies by appointment, that power devolved on the Governor, by virtue of section 8, Art. V., of the Coustitution, uxt the Legislature should provide some other constitutional Upon the formation of Boards cf Supervisors in the various counties of mode. .}the State, the power of appointment was given to them, not asa newly created authority, but as one already existing ;* or o , to speak more properly, the power which had before been vested in the Governor by the constitution, was transferred to the Board of Supervisors. — Statutes of 1856, p, 6. This very question, so far as it affects the right of the Coroner, was elaborately discussed by the Supreme Court of this State, in the case of the People ces. Phoenix, (January term, 1856,) when all of the legislative enactments having the least bearing on the point, were earefully examined and compared. In that case, the Court held that, although upon the occurrence of a vacancy in the office of Sheiiff, the Coroner became Sherif by operation of law, yet, that his term of office was limited or put an end to by the exercise of the appointing power by the Board of Supervisors.— Hence, if the Board of Supervisors had seen proper to appoint within one hour after the death of the late incumbent, the Coroner would have been Sheriff for that hour, and n> longer. In support of the claims of Mr. Boring, it is urged (not by himself however) that because the appointment was made subsequent to a general election, held after the death of Wright, it is therefore a nullity and that Boring having been chosen at such election to succeed W. W. Wright, is entitled to the vacant office by virtue of such election. By what course of reasoning this view is supported, it is difficult to conjecture, unless it is founded upon the language of the act already referred to, which limits the time of the appointment to a county office until the next general election. If such be the argument in support of Mr. Boring’s right, it is only necessary in order to refute it, to state what all must admit viz: That Boring was chosen to fill a specific term succceding the term for which Mr. Wright was elected. He was not elected to succeed the late incumbent in a moiety or fraction of his term, in ease he should vacate it before itsexpiration, but te fill a whole and entire term, coming after Wright’s term, and having not the least connection with or dependence upon it. To dispose of this question entirely it is only necessary to 1efer to the case of the People vs. Porter (January term S. C., 1856.) In that case the vacancy occurred in the office of County Judge by resignation, on the 13th August. On the 5th day of the ensuing September a general election was held, and on the 8th of September, Porter was appointed by the Governor to fill the vacancy These were the principal facts, except that a gentleman actually became a candidate JOURN . that the small majorities in these States . watering pl ge SER He eS F3 WHOLE NUMBER 340 for the vacant Judgeship, and received at the election of the 5th as many as 1,200 votes. Yet the Supreme Court determined that the appcintee of the Governor was entitled to the office The only difference in that ease, and this of Mr. Butterfield, consists in the fact, that in one the Governor is clothed with an appointing power; in the other the Board of Supervisors. It seems to us very clear, that by the provisions of law, and decided cases referred to above, all objections of a mere legal nature to Mr. Butterfield’s appointment are fully and satisfactorily disposed of. For the purpose of defeating the appointment before it was made, and of throwing discredit on itsince, arguments of a purely political and personal character have been resorted to. Of course no trdividual has a right. to speak ezcathedra~t this sort, if they can be ealled arguments. All that can be said, is that of those who participated in the appointment, the majority are democrats, who in their standing with their party, and devotion to its principles, are at least equal to those who have raised such boisterous opposition to thelr action— They are most probably men, who notwithstanding their love of party, are yet able to conceive of a higher motive for action in an affair growirg out of peenliarly distressing cireumstances, than mere allegiance to political party. That they have acted mest wisely on this occasion, is sufficiently proved by the universal concurrence of the people in the opinion of Mr. Butterfield’s entire fitness for the position in which their * action has placed him. Tue Exvecrion—The public mind seems to be absorbed in the news from the East everything else. almost to the exclusion of It is natural that 80 . itis.

A great problem is to be solved, in which the weal or woe of the Republic The election in Pennsylvania, on the 14th ult., may be looked is embraced. upon as the harbinger of the grand reThe defeat of the Republicans in that State, though it by no means decides the contest, is a strong sult in November. indication that James Buchanan is to be the next President of the United States. The result in Indiana adds strength to the Democratic chances. There is stiil left some slight hope to the oppositien, may have been overcome by energetic . action on the 4th inst., and that some of the Southern States may have been carried by Fillmore—enough to balance the vote of Pennsylvania; but the chances are rather ruinous to solace in that quarter. The Baltimore charter election exhibited a strong Fillmore feeling in Maryland, and it were highly probable that, did not the result of the State election in Pennsylvania show the necessity for men of the South to a between Buchanan and Fremont, Maryland and other slave States would have given their electoral votes to the Union candidate of New York. Southern men are guided in their political views by self interest. If the, State election in Pennsylvania had gone’ in favor of the Republican party, a decided advance in Fillmore’s prospects) It would} have been seen that Buchanan was out}! of the game, and the South would have taken Wise’s view of the candidates, that “Fillmore is an angel of light compared to Fremont.” The deteat of the Republicans in. Pennsylvania was the turning point in the canvass. It may be said, ina great degree, to influence the general result, and in the minds of a majority of men, to decide the contest. The Democrats will probably have the entire control of the Government for two years to come. Henry Clay was eut down as he was mounting the zenith of honors, by the ‘tongue of detraction.

EXPENSIVE CHURCHES.—Noticing the recent completion of the Baptist Church inthe Fifth Avenue, New York, at a cost of about $100,000, a correspondent of the Boston Journal remarks : “We have now hardly a church that men of moderate meanscan attend. Most of the down town churches have removyed their places, but substantial houses have given place to the costly and showy structure ; pew rents have risen accordingly. Hundieds and hundreds of families in New York, genteel but not wealthy, are without church or society, because they cannot afford to pay the pew rents. A man can do as he pleases with his own house; but these who erect places cf public worship and put the expenses of public worship above the reach of the average of society, do society substantial and enduring wrong.
