Tho Constitution of Oregon adopted by the people in November last, and imw before Congress, (loos not mako nny provision for lite election of Pros ccuting Attorneys. The 1 1 tit section oftlio schcdulo nttnehed to tlio Consti tution forms four Judicial Districts; "until othorwlso provided by law," tbo counties of Jackson, Josephine and Douglas form tho first Judicial District. . Tho second section, nrtlolo seven, of tho Constitution provides as follows: Tbo Supreme Court shall consist of four Justices, to be chosen In districts by the elec tors thereof, who shall bo citizens of the United States, and who shall bato resided In tho Htato at least thrcoyesrsnext preceding their election, and after their election to rc- nio in their reipecttvo districts, jnonum ber of 'Justices nnd districts mar bo lucres! cd, but shall not exceed five until tbo white population of the State shall amount to one huudrcd thousand, und shall never exceed seven ; and the boundaries of districts may be cbanscd. but no chauao ol districts shall bato tbo elVect to remove a Judge from of fice, or rtoulro blm to cbango bis residence wimoui uis consent. This provides excluthely for tho elec lion of four Judges, tnnd not Prose cuting Attornoyi. Section seventeen of nrtlclo sovon provides as follows: Tbero shall be electeJ. by districts com posed of one or moro counties, a sufficient number of prosecuting attornoys, who shall be tho lair officers of the Statu, and of the counties nlihlu their respective districts, and shall perform such duties pertaining to toe administration of law and general po lice, as the legislative assembly inay direct. This does not provldo for tlio clcc lion of Prosecuting Attorneys in dis. diets until provided for by law as the Legislative Assembly muy dirJfat. Hut let us see scotion sovon of tho schedule, which reads as follows : 'All laws In rorco In tho Territory of Or: gon when tbls Constitution takes effect. and consistent therewith, shall continue In force until nltcrcd or repealed. Then thoro is a law of tho Territory forming .Prosecuting Attorney distiicts, und must remain tho law until altered by tho Legislative Assembly, nnd may bo so altered as to form districts of ouo or moro counties. Until this is douo, tho Territorial law forming Prosecut ing Attorney districts is in force and should be acted upon. The counties of Jackson and Josephino forms one Pros ecuting Attorney district; tho counties of Douglas, Umpqua, Cooso and Cur- y form another district. Wo have no doubt about tho matter of A. C. Glbbs being nominated as the candidate for Prosecuting Attornoy in tlio dittiict composed qf tho Bounties of Douglas, Umpqua, Coose and Curry, but ho was not nominated as Iho candidate for tho distriot competed of Jackson and Jo sephino qnuntles; yet, We see bills .posted stating that A. C. Gibbs is tho s, i,.- wruwwcwww candidate ifor Prosecuting Attorney of thojJudlcia! distriot. This may lead to somo -misunderstanding, nnd if Mr. Glbbs has been plnccd baforo' the pub lic as tho caudidato for tho Prosecuting Attorney of tho 1st Judicial District contrary to his desire, wo hopo ho will correct tho error nt an early period, as there is no constitutional provison for the election of Prosecuting Attorneys, and they must bo elected undor the Territorial laws, and in distiicts furmod by thoso laws.
