We therefore peti tion this Honorable Board to appoint Hon.

A. M. i Koaborough to tbe office of County Assessor in and for said county for tbe purpose of failing such vacancy. R. A.

Redman ana over thirty othem. On motion of Mr- Fallon, the petition was received by the Board, Messrs. Hani- fin and Malloy votioK "2io. Mr. Fallon then presented the following resolution: i Whkkkas, A petition has been duly filed and presented to this Board, requesting some action to be taken by the Board in regard to the office of County Assessor, and which petition is signed by more than thirty of the qualified electors of this County, petitioning this Board to appoint A.

M. II. sboroah to the office of County Assessor of said county, therefore i Jtetolved, That said A. M. Bosborough be and he is hereby appointed County As sessor in and for aaid (Jounty of Alameda, and tbe Coabty Clerk and ex-officio Clerk of this Board is hereby' required and directed to issue to him a proper certificate to that effect, as in such cases made and provided bv law.

BetUved, That the official bond of the County Assessor of said County, be and the same is hereby fixed at the sum of fif teen dollars, and that said appointee be required to file bis bond in thia sum as required by law. Mr. Hani fin said I that this matter had been referred to the District Attorney and Judge Kerf man, and tbey cad reported. He1 knew of no vacancy among tbe As sessors and he thought tbat the District Attorney should be heard first. Mr.

Fallon said that this resolution was simply to bring the matter before the Supreme Court and ascertain whether there was a vacancy existing. Tbe District Atternev had onlv criven an opinion to the effect that the Board should not call an election for County or lownship Assessor.1 Mr. Dasterberry claimed that this was a matter of vital importance, for if the As sessors were holding office illegally, all their assessments would also tie illegal. Judge Redman, one of the special counsel, said that the sub mitted to them was as to whether there should be an election for County or Township Assessor this fall. and no opinion was given, as to whether there was to be a vacancy or not.

This was simply to test the matter as to whether there was a vacancy or not. If these men are Assessors this will not hurt them. If they are not, the matter should be properly adjusted. If the Board had called an election it would have been void under the statute. Mr.

Hani fin asked that the Dis trict Attorney's; opinion be requested, bat as that official was engaged in a case! in Court, he could not be present at this time. but the opinion given by him on tbe previous occasion was unaltered. The resolution was adopted. Messrs. Hanifin and Molloy voting "No." A certificate was ordered to ixsue to Judsre Bosborough.

An exposure having beeen made of. the conspiracy of the Democratic managers. aided (by the corrupt majority of the Board at Sapervisors, to steal the Couaty Asiessotship, their mouthpiece now admits that there is such a conspiracy to seat arkomeer opposed to toe political convic tions of the majority of, the voters of the county, and to so make use of the few boats if political life remaining to the four men who so shamefully gerrymandered the coanty in the interests of the Demo.

era tic party, and were so signally rebuked for that act at the polls. Their position stated as follows: "The Political Code which oek effect in January, 1883, created the office of County Assessor in all of the counties la the State, bat in 1874 the Leg lislature passed a special act for Alameda which provided for Township As- sessers, who shoald be elected in 1875, and at every general election thereafter, which i of course, as the election law then stood, rwould have required the officer to bs elected again in 177, 1879, 1881, and so on through tte odd numbered years, iiut the adoption of the new consti-tutionj in 1879, required all general elections ta be held in the even numbered years; and the general election law for the purpose of conforming to this provision of the constitution was so amended as to provide that the general election should be held in 1880 and every two years there ai ter. I a 1881 another act was passed amending the political code of 1873 so as to provide that assessors of every county shoald be elected in 1882 at the general election and at every general election to be held four years thereafter. This was a gen eral iact and did not except Ala- eda county from its provisions, but on too contrary repealed all acts acd parts of acts id conflict therewith, and it is claimed by some that this act obliterated the office of Township Assessor, inasmuch as. the act to which this lat act was amendatory provided for the office of County Assessor and not Township Assessor, and that there fore, the "assessors" referred to in the amendment were County Assessors ahd hence that there is no such office as Town ship Assessor.

It is a fact, however, that at the general election of 1882 Township Assessors were voted for in the various town ships land received their certificates of electing, andthese gentlemen bow claim that tbey are elected to offices created by the special act of 1874, but at the. same time claim that they hold otbee for four years by virtue of the amendment to the codes passed in 1881: while on the other band it claisned that the act of 1881 abolished their offices. The matter is further oompli cated by reason of the fact that in March, 1883, the Legislature pasted an act toestab- usn an uniform system oi county govern ments! which necessarily applies to all the counties in the State, not only by reason of Us own provision, Dat also because the new constitution prohibits special legislation on the subject of county and township offices in which act the provisions the political code of is 3 are reenacte.1. which require the election of a County Assessor in every county in the State, and repeals all acts and parts of acts inconsistent therewith. This act also declares what towothip officers there shall be and dors not mention Township Assessor: so thst it is claimed on the one band, that even if the office Township Assessor was rot abolished by the Act of 1881.

it ceitainiv is abolished by the Act of 1883, known as the County Government Aot. But it has been suggested that even if this be so that the TdwnshipJ Asaeuors would 1 1 discharge the duties of their offices until their successors shall qualify, and that they can no successors until the general election in 1886, at which a county Assessor shall be electsd. But the difficulty here is that a Township Assessor and a County Assessor are different offices, and the latter would, not be a successor in office to the former within the meaning of Section 879 of thejPolitical Code, which provides that "every officer must continue to discharge the duties of his office, although bis term baa expired, until his successor has quali fied," because, if bis office is abolished he would have no duties to discharge, nor could I be have a successor to an offica Ll.t I 1 i 1 There seems to be but little doubt of the fact f)at the office of Township -Assessor has been abolished either by the act of 1881 or by the act of 1883, but a doubt still remains as to how the latter act shall be strue'd in the application of its provisions to tbet condition of affairs in this county. For while it abolished the office of Town ship Assessor, it made no specific provis ions for toe election of a Uoontr Assessor at the! last election, bat on the contrary. provided that an Assessor should be elected (by the people) until 1886, but of coarti it cannot be claimed that there shoald be no assessment of property for the next two years; the result is that we have the office of County Assessor, of which therei can be no doubt, bat no specific mean of filling tha office except by resorting to) other provisions of the general laws of the State.

The Political Section 4,115 provides that all vacancies in county oiDOH, cept oupenor acige, snail do failed toy appointments made by the Board of Supervisors, and a similar provision is found in the County Government Act of 1883.1 i .1 1 I I 1 it win, tnereiore, oe ooservea irom tne preceding outline, that this is a matter of general public concern, and not in any sense a political job; and the shortest and most direct way out of the difficulty is that indicated in the sections of the law last referred to by having the Board of Supervisors appoint some suitable person to the office of County Assessor, who will. at bis) own expense, and without detriment to the public business, or interference with Township Assessors in the discharge of theirjduties, take immediate- steps to procure a decision of the Supreme Court that will ut tbe matter at Test, Certainly no good citizen can object to this course. we might here add that any delay might be attended with serious consequences, because there is barely time now sufficient to present the matter and have decision before tbe time for commencing the assessment. The circulation of the (petition referred to by our con temporary was rendered absolutely necessary for the reason tbe Board of Supervi sors cannot make an appointment except ntmnt the notition of thirtv Qualified elec tors of the county, and we may add her that the petition Circulated has been signed indiscriminately by Democrats and Repnblicana in view of the public interests involved." Itjwas stated in Thx Thibcki on Saturday that a judicial determination of the question at issue is neoeesary to secare tbe validity of the next assessment and tbe only thing to be added is, that if the majority of the Supervisors attempt to ap point Democrat, no matter whom lie may! be, in the last hours of their official existence, it will be an outrageous usurpation of power. This is said without eonot-dine the validitv of the reasoning on which their claim is based with reference to which it may be pointed out that if it is wl founded the two last assessments of Alameda county were invalid.
