REMOVAL OF THE CAPITAL FROM WASH
INaroN-A correspondent writing from
Washington to one of the New York papers,
says -" The excitement of the past few
weeks has had most disastrous effect upon
real estate in the District of Columbia, de-
preciating it at least twenty-five per cent f,
with a stiff downward tendency. The cause
is two fold First, the failure of law at
Washington and the license and impunity
which attend crimes against the persons OF
Northern freemen, have 50 disgusted Con
gress that the removal Of the capital to a
Free State has become apoint of fixed policy
in the eye of largo majority of Northern
members. The idea may seem wild; and In
all probability, this intimation will be scout
ell by many an opposition press; but have
no hesitation in predicting the removal of
the capital to the northwest at no very dis
tant day, unless a revolution is affected in
the public sentiment, the Judiciary and the
Jury system of this District"

Rlnf fn Rnh n fIInar.

The True Californian of Saturday, July
18th, gives the followidg particulars of an
ingenious attempt at robbery, derived from
gentleman who accidently was made con
versent with the facts and frustrated the
scheme:
A young man, miner Of 0roylle, named
Dexter Hostley, arrived ut San Francisco
few days before the departure OF the last
steamer, and after purchasing his ticket and
completing his n rangeiuents to leave, stroll
ed around to the Post Office and inquired for
letters. To his surprise, he received one
without signature written in this city, and
proiering bin some very disuterested advice.
1t seems tina: young Hostley had recently
made $4,000 10y sinking shaft, after hav
ing been unsuccessful Tor three years past.
Wi;h this sum he determined to return
home. On settling up his affairs he was
brought in debt to II merchant of Orovlle,
named Myers, in tho sum Of $50. But he
sold his claim to a miner named Wing, who
agreed to pay this sum, and Myers agreed
to receive Wing as his debtor. The letter
lie received from the post Office went on to
state that Myers had determined not to ac
cept Wing, but would be down the evening
DeIOre the nuaL Ieits anu WOulu nave HlHi
arrested. By this means he would lose his
passage money entirely, for. said his anony-
nous correspondent, the Company never re-
turn any money, or allows passage at any
other time or on board Of any other steamer
than the one for which the ticket was bought.
He therefore kindly proposed the following
plan to get him out of his troubles. lie ad-
sised Hostly to leave early on the morning
OF the departure of the steamer, and go out
in the neighborhood Of the Fort; hat there
he woyld meet with friond, who had boat
concealed near by, he would be placed on
her, and as the steamer approached, he could
be ferried aboard. The kind friend wound
up by assuring him that he pitied him for
the difficulty he had got in, and would do all
he could TO serve him. lie said it was not
worth while to give his name.
Such was the trap set. The young man
was acctually on the point of falling into it.
when he accident.y showed the tetter TO the
gentleman from whom we derse these facts.
We trust that all miners to whom THIS paper
shall come, will take warning and be on
theie guarn. Those of them who have money
are watched here, as we'll as in the local
cities in which they live.

Democratic County Convention.

In this mornings paper, will be found q
call for the Democratic County Convention,
TO assembled OF Orovile on the 23d of Au-
gust, for the purpose Of electing delegates
to the State Convention, and The nomina-
ton of officers. The committee in making
the call, have been unable to designate the
number Of delegates to which some Of the
new precincts are entitled, because no party
vote has been given since the precincts were
established. 1t will be II matter that must
necessarily be determined by the Conven,
ton. As everybody seems determined 10
go for Buchanan, the committee were dis
posed to allow each precinct representa-
ton for the whole number Of votes cast at
the county seat election but concluded to
leave the matter to be settled by the pre-
cincts and the convention.
1t is important that every precinct should
be represented in the convention. We wish
we could thoroughly impress upon the De-
mocracy the Importance Of u full represen-
tation. In these times, good citizens should
no longer neglect or refuse to see that pro-
per, honest and patriotic and faithful men
are selected to fill the public Offices.
Butte county is entitled to two Members
Of Assembly the present year, and the in
creasng Importance and diversified interests
of the county, as well as the State at large,
demand that they should be "honest, capa-
BILE and faithful Elect no one because he
is in favor of, or opposed to the Vigilance
Committee. Select them from the solid men
of the county Dcve into the mines, or
search over the farming interests of the
county, and select men whose interests are
identified with the county, whose homo is
in our midst, whose character, moral worth
and intelligence are known. There are sueh
men in the county, and il is the duty of the
Convention to bring them out Such man
will not become the tools of politicians, nor
aid them in their unholy designs of plunder
Fellow Democrats, let Us have full Con
vention, and fair expression Of the people,
and we shall nominate good men and elect
them. Would oil the counties 60 to work
with the determinatioa to elect none but
men who are identifad with the counties,we

Wholesome and just laws.and inagarate new

not effect this, but we can add our mite to
the general good, and secure the services OF
honest minded honorable men ifw choose
or by neglect can surrender our rights to
weak, imbecilc and migratory politicians,
whose only hope is plunder, and who present
themselves at every opening not guarded
by the people.

When this question is once settled, as we
hope it soon will be, We shall expect to see
many more permanent improvements COM
menced, in the shape of brick buildings,
which will have the effect to lessen the
chances of FIRE. Capitalists will then be
willing to invest and the march of improve
ment will be onward. The suits were brought
