& ‘Nevada County Official Press. FRIDAY MORNING, FEB. 6th, SuPpREME JUDGESHIP.—A bill has been recently reported by the House, Judiciary Committee which provides for the establishment of Circuit Courts for the Districts of Oregon and California and the appointinent “of a new Associate Judge of the-Supreme Court to be chosen from the Pacific Coast. The seasions of these courts are to be held ‘at San Francisco’ and Portland. The Circuit Courts of the United States in Culifornia and Oregon are abolished by the bill.— ‘The new court is to be composed of the 8upreme Jadge or the Asscciate assigned to this coast, and the District Judges of the Northern or Southern District of California, any two of whom shall constitute a quorum. ‘This isa step in the right direction. The Pacifié slopa should have & voicein the high‘eat judicial councils_of the Republig. Her ‘interests so various and so differei€ from those of any other section, demand that the wman who is to be her Tepresentative on that bench shall be thoroughly acquainted . with her necessities, and should therefore be selected trom her ows sons. We learn from . the correspondent of the Union that seme of the Representatives in Congress who have an idea that fothing good can come out of California, propose to furnish us witha mah to represent us on the Supreme bench. Our representatives in Congress will reject this kind offer of our friends. They prefera man who is thoroughly uequainted with the mining laws and interests—a man who™can examine understandingly into the law concern ing Spanish grants: This can be dove better by a man who has, by the ‘practice of his profession on this coast, become personally acquainted with history off and laws govern‘ing these matters. This bill, says the ‘correspondent of ‘the Union, “is understvod to have originated with A. A. Sargent of your State, and to his indefatigable exertion in season and out of season, the bill owes its present state of fors wardness.” Mr, Sargent has, in the short time that he has represented us, done more for the welfare_of this coast than. all who have gone before him. It is mainly to him that the State is indebted for the success of the Pacific Railroad bill, the exemption of mining claims froin taxation, and iow this Tast menaure; wmpet as important. Not only does he deserve the thanks of his imme.~ but of the whole coast. Nothing that ability, energy and adetermination that sees no obstacle where the good of the State is concerned, is wanting in Sars gent. The people of this coast will be most fortunate if they can always be represented by euch» man. MIR Tere Ak tH The following ia from the Sacramento correspondence ofthe Weaverville: Journal: The election has ceased to be of great concern here, except with people personally . concerned in the advancement of individuals. The Custom House folks went to Sacramens to buzz for Phelps—a_boat-load of them— and “busted him out,” so to speak. Their influence proved to be of a negative character, showing that times have changed and men changed. with them. Of course, it is understood that the purpose of most ot the candidates who hang on to a forlora hope is to obtain.a meastre of celebrity because of having once “been voted for, for United States Senator!" That very fact, you know,. is supposed to pre-suppose the possession of great abilities. Atleast, so your correapon: * dent used to think when he was very young usd innocent. At present I ean think of no way to end the stubborn contest except one desperate measuge : To allow Conness ‘to address the Joint Convention ad libitum. Hy would talk half his enemigs to death, or . : would at least exhaust the Legislative ninety “= days and eliminate all the other candidates” under a statute of limitatidn. You never heard Conness talk? You were never wedged in a crowé and couldn't get out until Con. neas couldn't talk any Jonger? Then rou are & happy man; you don't know what buinan-suffering iv; you can't appreciate the beatitude of silence after having ‘a brass kettle drummed over your head two hours aod seventy minutes. Mr. Corness is a splendid talker, but, like a good many of our “erators” he does'nt know what to say. If he gets to the Senate he will sell the Con. gressional Globe some, yeu bet. = Rev, Geo. B Taylor is lecturing on moperance in Shasta county. EPThe editor of the Marysville Express oceupies a. most despicable position in this . State. Every. issue of that paper centains extracts copied from all the traitor organs in the United States. It publishes the trials: and misfortunes of traitors who have deen arrested in Northern States and placed out of the reach of doing any more harm. Bat when the scene is changed, and thrilling acs counts of murder and robbery of Union-men at the South, simply because they were loy~ al, this sanctimonious sheet has not a word tosay. Why did’nt+that-pure paper publish the account-of-that sterling patriot, John F. Phelps, of Plymouth, N.C., who was robbed of $8,009 in gold, the hard earnings of an industrious fife, his houses burned, his valuable furnituré“deatroyed and his wife shot-dead.? A reward of $1,000 was also. offered by the traitors for his head, and a fellow by the name.gf Joe. Griffin belonging to the 17th North Carolia infantry, boasts that he shot Phelps: wife. No, the Express would not publish anything of this kind forthe simple reason that it intends to give-enly one side. Yet it could re-hash two columns about Olds whose treatment was as good as he deserved. bg : _— os tit is reported in town that the Neva« da delegation has gone. over bodily to support Conness for United States Senator.— We do not believe a word of it.
