DISTRICT JUDGEsHIP.-The Democratic
Convention which assembled at Tehama on
Saturday last for the purpose of nominating
candidate for Judge of the Ninth Judicial
District, after long and turbulent session
finally adjourned without making nomi-
nation, and have recommended that another
convention be called to meet at Tehama on the
23d inst. This renders it necessary for new
delegates to be elected from the different conn
ties composing the district. 1t will be quick
work, but we presume to say the convention
of the 23d inst, will be able to present can
didate upon whom the democracy can unite
The attention of the Democracy of Butte is re-
ferred to the call for a County convention to
be held at Bdwel ,on Saturday august 10TH
next, for the purpose of electing delegates
to attend the District convention at Tehama
on the 23d inst. We hope to see the different
precincts represented

ventions held in Sacramento City. we are at
Liberty, and it is the duty of the democratic
masses throughout the State to nominate and
elect those persons best qualified to discharge
the responsible duties of Representatives in
Congress, from California and believing that
Messrs. Latham and McDougal are thus DUAL
flied, we hereby nominate them as our candi
dates for Congress
After this miserable attempt to harmonizc
matters by the Broderick faction, the democ-
racy endorsed the democratic nominations. as
will be seen by the following proceedings.
The factionists are indeed hard pushed when
they resort to such trickery But here are
the resolutions of the Sacramento democrac v.

Very Respectfully,
Your obed't Serv't.,

J, W. CovINGToN, Esq.

J, W. CONVICTION, Esq.
1t is probable that Mr.. BIrber had not read
our remarks in our issue Of the 9th of June,
when the above came from under his A. H.
Barbers) own hand" If he had seen our re-
marks. he must have known that we made no
charge against him What the gentleman 5
object was in garbling our language and mis-
representing us, we neither know nor care,
but would advise him in future statements to
conine himself to facts. Acting under the
impression that Mr.. Barber has not read tie
remarks alluded to, we repubhsh them, hop
ing they will convince him thaf they contain
no charge against him. They mention a ru-
NOR and hope that it will prove incorrect, and
no one not troubled with the nightmare, nor
disposed to misrepresent us, would have the
hardihood to construe them as charging abo-
litionism upon Mr. Barber. Here they are
1.-The convention presented as their candi-
dates for the Assembly the names of A. H.
Barber and c. G.. Lincoln. Mr. Barber, we
believe resides at Chico, and is presented as the
valley candidate. We have not the pleasure
of personal acquaintance with the gentle
men, but have heard him spoken of rs man of
fine talent, sound judgment, with decided and
publicly expressed abolition tendencies. Ia
this there is a huge mistake somewhere, as no
man Of sound Judgment can entertain aboli-
ton sentiments. We trust this will prove in
correct for we should certainly regret to see
a person entertaining such sentiments receive
even the confidence of few wings who might
deem II their duty to vote the printed ticket" :"
Has Mr. Barber any further vindictive
spleen, epithets and misrepresentation to in
fiict upon the pubic

MAsoNIc.-The Masonic Lodge at this place
suffered severely in the recent fire. The
room, n good one and well furnished, was not
entered after the alarm was given. and every
thing was lost, including their charter. The
Lodge was somewhat involved, but its pros
poets were bright, and we hope to see it again
orgauize and extend its beneficial influence
over our community.
Butte record., 1854-08-12

BIDwELL.-The place is being rebuilt with
rapidity. The main hindrance that we have
heard mentioned, being the want of teams to
deliver lumber A little patience, however,
on the part of those interested, will soon
make matters right again. The buildings
now in course of erection, are not as large
and commodious as former ones, being erect
solely for the accommodation of business
The public houses Will assume their former
spaciousness, aud all Of thsm viii be an i'm
provement upon the former ones and an orna-
ment to the place. 1t is the intention of the
untiring and energeticpropretors of the Shade
Hotel and of the Union House to erect new
buildings on their old sites, and preparations
are going on rapidly. We believe it is the
intention of Mr.. Bancroft to rebuild the
National Hotel on the hill 1t is to be
hoped that Mr.. Bancroft will conclude 10
do so A public house on the hill, if it did
not succeed in selling quite as much whisky as
those on the fat below, still, under the direc-
tion of Mr.. Bancroft, it is believed its posi-
ton would not detract from its popularity and
its business, while it would be comparatively
free from the danger of fire. The house cod
then be tuilt and furnished in comfortable
style without the certainty of its being en-
dangered by the least carelessness on the part
of those occupying canvass or other light and
combustible buildings in town. Although the
citizens of Bidwell have been as careful of
fire as the citizens of any place in California.
and will, we doubt not, continue SO for the
future, still accidents will happen, and towns
will be occasionally destroyed by fire in Cali
fornia Now our own opinion is that public
house on the hill, with what there is already
built on the fiat with others. A good house
will draw custom, whether it is built on the
hill or on the fiat. Our word for it, should
Mr.. Brancroft choose site on the hill on
other places ofpublic resort going up quite as
near him as he desires. IL would have added
much to the attraction of the place had our
citizens all built on the hill, instead of again
crowding their buildings on to the fat below,
where, should one take fire, the town must be
again destroyed. But they have chosen their
old sites, and we earnestly hope that the
place may be spared another visitation of the
devouring element.
In the statement of losses published last
week, there some omissions. We republish the
statement this week with snch additions as

Ma. A. II. BARBER In noticing the nomi-

heard him spoken of as entertaining aboli-
ton sentiments, Sc, attaching no import
ance to the matter, and merely expressing the
hope that it would prove incorrect, &C., &C.
Shortly afterwards we stated for Mr.. Barber,
he did not entertain abolition sentiments, and
gave our readers to understand that he had
no feelings in common with that unfortunate
class of fanatics. That however, it seems was
not sufficient Our informant, who possibly
might huve Inexperienced Mr.. Barber,
must be cxcoriated and groan under the ap-
plcation Of epithets Accordingly the fol-
lowing, ''from under his { A. II Barber's) own
hand" has been furnished us for publication.
The impression that lie entertained abolition
sentiments, first gained ground amongst his
immediate neighbors. and arose from hearing
him ex7ress hs views upon the Nebraska aud
Kansas Bill Now that our informant is to-
tally annihlated and ground in the dust, By
the application of epithets, will Mr.. Barber
have the kindness to furnish the public with
his views upon the Nebraska and Kanzas
question We shall be happy to lay his views
upon this suhject before our readers. We
