Mr. Jarvis said that the order of arrest had been returned to him by the officer to whom it had been given for service, and that as thecase now stood he did not know What further steps would be taken. Mr, Woodward, he believed, was not ip town, but a8 regards his whereabouts he was perfect ly ignorant, ‘As the matter Row stands he (Jarvis) was without any authority to arrest him, even though he should walk into his office at any moment.

Dear Sik—The resignation of Judge iosexvans the day before the anuual election of 1871 raises the question, under section 9 of articie 6 of the constitution, whether Mr. Potter, who, It ts as- sumed, received the majority of votes cast at that clection, couid take office under it, If being claimed by Judge Kosekrans and others, as Lam iriormed, 88 the clection occurred three months aller the happening of the vacancy, 1b was of no effect, ana that tne vacancy can only be filled by appointment, tie a tee to hold over until De- cember 31, [872 HP tie could be se\tied or avoided by the appointment of the succeasfitl candidate, the Voice of the bar and the imicyests of the public would demand of me that I should appoint him, to the gy iat there mirht te no undue sirtte over & fuatelal office, that the will of the people, as eX- ressed at ihe ballot box, should not be de- feated by the resiguation of Judge iKosecrana and T should appoint fim at once; but it ts clear that neither saci appointment nor the faiture to It would only make any would avoid ths issue, eet it, At the eleot ) it jlotably be Tele | fer’s seat, claiming the eldéi void and that the appe expired December 31, of Jnudgo Rosekrans’ resiguation this question aud to defeat Mr Potter's election, and it must be met and ae «sooner or later.
