plained to him very confidentially how the settlers along the coast were harassed by depredations made on their potato crops by the abalones and sea-lions coming up and destroying them, and promised to see that the man got every vote on the coast provided he would promise, if elected, to use his influence to stop further depredations on the part of the offending animals. This the man promised to do in good faith, and it is said that after his election he remembered this promise made to Mike, and consulted his friends as to the best method of affecting the desired end, and it was only after he had been forced to treat the crowd a few times on the strength of the joke that he began to comprehend it.
The contest for county seat was quite close, but unfortunately the exact vote cannot be given. Calpella and Ukiah were the competing points for the distinction, and the success of one meant the entire downfall of the other, as they were situated within six miles of each other, in the same valley. Ukiah was victorious by whatever majority there was, and from that time on it. has prospered.
The county was divided into three Supervisorial districts, and the first Board was composed as follows: First district, O. H. P. Brown; second district, Daniel Miller; third district, J. F. Hills, with Mr. Miller as chair- man. The first meeting was held May 16, 1859.
Everything seemed to follow the even tenor of its way politically in the county until sometime in 1864, when E. R. Budd began a quo warranto proceeding against William Holden for the purpose of deciding the question of the legality of Holden's election. We will now proceed to give our readers as nearly as possible a correct statement of the case and the events that transpired in connection with it.
At the judicial election of 1863, William Holden was declared to be elected Judge by a majority of four votes, as appeared by the returns from the county. E. R. Budd was the opposing candidate, who, instead of contesting Holden's election under the laws providing for such cases, let the time pass in which the law required him to contest, and commenced by quo warranto. In all about seventy-five soldiers, non-residents of the county, under a decision of the Supreme Court, voted for Budd, which votes, if the evidence of their voting for relator could have been obtained, would have been taken off from his aggregate vote; but this could not, from the nature of the case, be proven by none but the soldiers that cast the votes. At the March term of the District Court, by consent of parties and with the express understanding that the person appointed should go to Round Valley to take the evidence of about fifty soldiers that voted there, the case was referred to J. L. Broaddus. to take and report the evidence, each party having forty days to take testi- mony, and ten days to take rebutting testimony. The referee promised to go to Round Valley to take this evidence, but when the time came when he could have gone, he flatly refused to go, though he faithfully promised the

defendant to do so. The defendant then procured a subpena to be issued and served on about five of the soldiers. Captain Douglass refused to let them attend. The case went to trial at the July term, and the court found relator elected by a majority of two votes.
The defendant immediately moved for a new trial; prepared a statement which was, after much difficulty, settled by parties and certified to by the Judge. The motion was argued and submitted on the 7th of October, 1863. The statement was placed in the hands of William N. Johnson, attorney for relator, who held the same when the Judge held court at this place on the third Monday in November, who met the Judge at Cloverdale on his return from here, at which place he, the Judge, on the 2d of December, made and delivered to Johnson his decision, changing his former decision, so as to give relator Budd one instead of two majority. On Saturday, December 3d, about three o'clock, a notice of filing the findings of the Judge was served on the defendant, who immediately commenced drawing up a notice of appeal; but before it was finished, and about ten minutes after the service of the notice, a writ of quo warranto was served by the Sheriff, requiring defendant to turn over to Budd the office. After this, about four o'clock of the same day, Saturday, defendant served on Johnson a notice of appeal, both from the order denying a new trial and the judgment of July, 1864; and in about thirty minutes after filed in the Clerk's office an undertaking in the sum of three hundred dollars for costs and damages on appeal.
By the decision of the Judge under the law, the relator was entitled to the office, the filing of the notice and undertaking stopping the effect of the decision and leaving both parties in precisely the position they were in before any decision was made.
Inferring from the simultaneous filing of the decision of the Judge and the service of the writ, that something was on the tapis (the next Monday being the term of the County Court), and to fortify himself at all points, the defend- ant, on Monday morning, December 5th, at eight o'clock, filed a further under- taking in the sum of three hundred dollars, and also in the sum of four hun- dred dollars, being more than double the amount of the judgment for costs, of which relator was notified.
Thus proceedings were stayed, both on the order denying a new trial, and also the judgment made July 21, 1864. The relator claimed that because the writ was served before the appeal was perfected, the perfecting of the appeal stayed proceedings with him in the office, and that he could hence hold the office until the appeal was decided; in other words, he proceeded under the decision, notwithstanding everything had been done by the defend- ant required by law to stay proceedings. Such a construction of the law would place it in the power of the prevailing party in all similar cases, by filing the decision and having the writ or mandate served simultaneously, of depriving the other party from the benefits derived by the law of staying

proceedings until a decision can be had in the Supreme Court. By the pre- vailing party's own acts he deprives the other party of his rights under the law. Under this state of facts, defendant Holden, on the Monday morning following, took the bench and held the court until the business was finished, and adjourned on Tuesday until the next regular term of the court.
The following account of the proceedings of that session of the County Court is copied from the Constitutional Democrat of December 8, 1864 :-
" The County Court met on Monday December 5th, at 9 o'clock, William Holden, Judge. The Court was proceeding to form the Grand Jury when the District Attorney suggested that there was some doubt whether William Holden had the right to hold the court, and on first protesting that he had no intention of committing contempt, with permission of the Court pro- ceeded to give his reasons for entertaining this doubt, which was, that there was no provision for staying proceedings on appeal in cases of quo warranto by sections 349, 350, 351 and 352 of the Practice Act. The Court then referred him to the law authorizing an appeal in all cases from an order granting or denying a motion for a new trial ; also, to section 356 of the Practice Act, which provides that in all cases not provided for in the above- named sections an appeal to stay proceedings might be made by filing a three hundred dollar bond, as provided for by section 348 of the Practice Act ; and in turn demanded of the District Attorney if that was not the law. He replied that it appeared so; but that there might be some doubt.
The regular panel having been exhausted before the Grand Jury was complete, a special venire was ordered returnable at 1 o'clock P. M., and court adjourned to that hour. After adjournment, the District Attorney and Judge had a conversation in connection with T. B. Bond, Esq., at which the District Attorney did not insist upon the grounds urged in court; first stating that the perfecting of the appeal stopped both parties from acting, and after that, that because the writ of quo warranto was served, although simultaneously with the filing of the order denying the new trial, before the appeal was perfected, it let Budd into the office, and then the proceedings were stayed, yet he, Budd, could go on and hold court. On the calling of the court at 1 o'clock, when proceeding to form the Grand Jury, the District Attorney stated that he would have nothing to do with its formation, as he believed all acts done by it would be illegal. 'There being no member of the bar present except those retained by parties held to appear before the Grand Jury; and W. Neeley Johnson, who had heretofore appeared in court in the capacity of deputy District Attorney under R. McGarvey, the court made an order of which the following is the substance: The District Attorney having refused to assist in the formation of the Grand Jury and intimated his unwillingness to act in the capacity of District Attorney after it was formed, the Grand Jury is hereby discharged. The court, after transacting some other business adjourned until the next morning at 9 o'clock.

Shortly after Budd served a notice on Sheriff Warden to attend at 4 o'clock and call court. This the Sheriff refused to do. Whereupon E. R. Budd, R. McGarvey, and F. W. Watrous went up into the court-room, Budd took the bench and ordered court called by some person. A fine of five hundred dollars was imposed on Lew M. Warden for contempt in not attending court. B. F. Forsyth was appointed elisor, when R. McGarvey arose and moved, in consequence of the doubt as to whether Budd was really the Court or not, and for the purpose of saving the county unneces- sary expense, that the court adjourn. Budd concurred and Forsyth pro- claimed the adjournment.
The above proceedings of Budd's court were spread upon the minutes. On Tuesday, court met pursuant to adjournment with Holden on the bench. After reading and signing the minutes of the day before, Holden ordered the Clerk to cut the page containing the minutes made by order of Budd from the record, which was done as directed. After disposing of the cases remaining on the calendar, the court adjourned until the next regular term.
The matter was taken before the Supreme Court, and finally, June 3, 1865, a decision was given in favor of E. R. Budd, and the quo warranto was sustained, and the remittitur ordered to issue forthwith. Thus was settled a very vexatious question, and one which involved several nice legal technicalities. We have no remarks to make upon the merits of the decision, as both parties had earnest supporters, and at this remote date it is impossi- ble to get statements which are free for all bias.
In 1874, a matter of some importance came up for the suffrage of the people, this was the vote on the " Local Option " law, and the ballots cast that day, show that the majority of the people of Mendocino county are in favor of right and good government. The election was held June 10th of that year, and the vote stood as follows :--

We will close this chapter by giving a short account of the greatest political event which has occurred for many years in California-the

adoption of the New Constitution. The Constitution which was framed at Monterey, when the State was yet in its swaddling clothes, answered every purpose for a number of years, but the entire body politic had changed, and the popular voice became clamorous for a change in the organic law of the State. The question had often been before mooted, and votes taken upon calling a convention for the purpose of framing a new Constitution, but public sentiment did not reach the requisite condition until the general election of 1877, at which time " Constitutional Convention, Yes," carried with an overwhelming majority. During the session of the Legislature, which followed this election, a bill was framed and passed, which provided for the election of delegates to the convention, and which was approved March 30, 1878. Thirty-two of the delegates were to be elected from the State at large, not more than eight of whom should reside in any one Congressional district. In accordance with a proclamation issued by the Governor, an election for the purpose of choosing delegates to the convention was held June 19, 1878. The body comprising the Consti- tutional Convention, met at Sacramento City, September 28th of that year, and continued in session one hundred and seventy-five days. The day set for the people of the State to adopt or reject the result of the labors of the convention was May 7, 1879, and there was a very strong, and in some instances, a bitter fight made over it; those opposing it, citing wherein the old Constitution had proved satisfactory, and wherein the new organic law would prove disastrous; while those who desired its adoption were as ready to show up the weak points of the old, and its inadequacy to the demands of the present advanced state of affairs, and wherein the new would almost prove a panacea for all our ills, both social, moral, and political. Thus the matter continued to be agitated until the day had come on which the die should be cast, and greatly to the surprise of everybody, the decision of the people of the State was in favor of the new law. The vote in Mendocino county was one thousand two hundred and thirty-four for the new Con- stitution, and six hundred and twenty-eight against it, making the majority for it almost equal to the opposition. Under its provisions, the offices of both the County and District Judges were abolished, and a Superior Judge elected to perform the duties of hoth offices.
