As the denial of seats to these senators would give the republicans a small majority on Joint ballot, and enable them to elect a United States Senator, the matter has excited considera- ble attention. In 1880 a new constitution was adopted in California. That constitution required that the next legislature should redistrict the state into legislative districts; and it provided that the senators elected from odd-numbered districts should hold for two years, and those from even- numbered districts for four years; and, after that all senators should be elected for four years. Had that required event of the constitu. ton been carried out, there would have been plain sailing; for, under its terms, the senatorial terms ‘were fixed and definite, even the dates being pre- scribed. But the legislature of 1881, the one next ing the adoption of tion, did~ not perforin its plain duty. republicans Were in the majority, and thelr Jeaders made was an element of tl RIZES FOR PROVERBS.
