A question ‘has been. rained the bill passed the Senate by the requisite twothird vote. Three members of the Senate were and two-thirds of all those elected did not vote for the bill. It was voted for, however, by two-thirds of those present, and this is clearly all that is fequired by the Constitution. The people will now have the privilege of voting for or against a Constitutional Convention. It is admitted on all sides that the Judiciary System of our State should he changed. Had the Constitution in this respect been amended by, the Legi#lature, the necessity of calling a Convention would have been obviated. We bave too miatly Courts; and either the County Courts or the District Courts should be abolished. Nearly all the counties in the State are heavily in debt, and something should be done to relieve’ them of 4 portion of their present expenses. If the counties are saved the expense of keeping up their local Courts, the most of: them will be able to pay their current expenses, and eventually pay up the debts which they have heretofore contracted. If the District Courts are abolisheed, a portion of the revenue which now goes to the State can be given to the counties. We hazard nothing in saying that one hundred thousand dollars can be saved every. year to the tax payere of the State, by remodeling the Judiciary. This, ofitself, is nearly enough to defray the expenses of a Constitutional Convention, The whole question is now left with the people, who will be required, at the next general election, to tote for or against a Convention. If o majority of the people are in favor of Convention, the Legislature which mects next January will have to make provisions for the election of Delegates, and appoint the time for the Convention to meet. It will require two years to adopt and put in force a new Constitution. Arrest oF A Menberkk.-About two years ago # man uamed Moffat was murdered by John Hurley, near Downieville, and the murderer escaped and made his way to Oregon. The lodge of Freemasons, of which Moffat was a member, together with other citizens, offered o reward of three thousand dollars, for the arrest of Harley, and for the last year Sheriff Jackson of Downieville, has been in Oregon searching for him. At last he found and arrested him, and started with his prisoner on the schooner J. R. Whiting, for San Francisco. Ou Monday afternoon, when the schooner was within ten miles of the Heads, the commander, Captain Blair, was taking an observation, and looking on deck saw Sheriff Jackson and his prisoner sitting close together and near the edge of the vessel. The captain turned his head for a moment to give some order, and upon glancing again towards the place where he had seen the two sitting observed that the Sheriff was missing, Looking on the water he observed the body floating and a boat was immediately lowered, but the unfortunate man could not be saved, The schooner was laden with lumber, which was piled on the deck even with the railing; and from the position in which Sheriff Jackson and Hurley were, it would seem probable that the latter pushed the former overboard, The truth cannot be found out, however, as no one saw the affair. Hurley was taken and lodged in the station house at San Francisco, and will doubtless be sent to Downleville for trial, Buryine or Dr. Scorr’s Cuurcn.-—-On Thursday evening last, about eight o’clock, Dr. Scott's Church, on Bush street, San Francisco, was discovered to be on fire. The fire originated in the basement, in a room occupied asaSunday School library. The building was closed up by iron shutters, and it was some fifteen or twénty minutes before the firemen effected an entrance.— After getting water to bear on the basement, where the fire originated, that was soon extinguished; but in the meantime the flames had communicated to the ceiling, where a larger part of the damage was done. But a small part of the body of the Church is injured. From the room where the fire commenced, a spiral stair. case runs up to the main floor at the right-hand jury returned a verdict to the effect that they entrance, and continues up to the gallery and believed that the murder was committed by Mre. organ apartment, It appears the fire followed Cunningham, and J.

A question ‘has been. rained the bill passed the Senate by the requisite twothird vote. Three members of the Senate were and two-thirds of all those elected did not vote for the bill. It was voted for, however, by two-thirds of those present, and this is clearly all that is fequired by the Constitution. The people will now have the privilege of voting for or against a Constitutional Convention. It is admitted on all sides that the Judiciary System of our State should he changed. Had the Constitution in this respect been amended by, the Legi#lature, the necessity of calling a Convention would have been obviated. We bave too miatly Courts; and either the County Courts or the District Courts should be abolished. Nearly all the counties in the State are heavily in debt, and something should be done to relieve’ them of 4 portion of their present expenses. If the counties are saved the expense of keeping up their local Courts, the most of: them will be able to pay their current expenses, and eventually pay up the debts which they have heretofore contracted. If the District Courts are abolisheed, a portion of the revenue which now goes to the State can be given to the counties. We hazard nothing in saying that one hundred thousand dollars can be saved every. year to the tax payere of the State, by remodeling the Judiciary. This, ofitself, is nearly enough to defray the expenses of a Constitutional Convention, The whole question is now left with the people, who will be required, at the next general election, to tote for or against a Convention. If o majority of the people are in favor of Convention, the Legislature which mects next January will have to make provisions for the election of Delegates, and appoint the time for the Convention to meet. It will require two years to adopt and put in force a new Constitution. Arrest oF A Menberkk.-About two years ago # man uamed Moffat was murdered by John Hurley, near Downieville, and the murderer escaped and made his way to Oregon. The lodge of Freemasons, of which Moffat was a member, together with other citizens, offered o reward of three thousand dollars, for the arrest of Harley, and for the last year Sheriff Jackson of Downieville, has been in Oregon searching for him. At last he found and arrested him, and started with his prisoner on the schooner J. R. Whiting, for San Francisco. Ou Monday afternoon, when the schooner was within ten miles of the Heads, the commander, Captain Blair, was taking an observation, and looking on deck saw Sheriff Jackson and his prisoner sitting close together and near the edge of the vessel. The captain turned his head for a moment to give some order, and upon glancing again towards the place where he had seen the two sitting observed that the Sheriff was missing, Looking on the water he observed the body floating and a boat was immediately lowered, but the unfortunate man could not be saved, The schooner was laden with lumber, which was piled on the deck even with the railing; and from the position in which Sheriff Jackson and Hurley were, it would seem probable that the latter pushed the former overboard, The truth cannot be found out, however, as no one saw the affair. Hurley was taken and lodged in the station house at San Francisco, and will doubtless be sent to Downleville for trial, Buryine or Dr. Scorr’s Cuurcn.-—-On Thursday evening last, about eight o’clock, Dr. Scott's Church, on Bush street, San Francisco, was discovered to be on fire. The fire originated in the basement, in a room occupied asaSunday School library. The building was closed up by iron shutters, and it was some fifteen or twénty minutes before the firemen effected an entrance.— After getting water to bear on the basement, where the fire originated, that was soon extinguished; but in the meantime the flames had communicated to the ceiling, where a larger part of the damage was done. But a small part of the body of the Church is injured. From the room where the fire commenced, a spiral stair. case runs up to the main floor at the right-hand jury returned a verdict to the effect that they entrance, and continues up to the gallery and believed that the murder was committed by Mre. organ apartment, It appears the fire followed Cunningham, and J.
