FATAL MINING ACCIDENT.-We re
gret to learn that Mr. VIM Treloar was
so severely injured by the premature G x
plosion of blast in Ross Tunnel on
Deer creek Wednesday, that he died
six hours after the accident. Another
man named Williams was severely IN
jured at the same time, but is in fair
way of recovery. Treloar was from
Cornwall, England, aged % years, and
much esteemed for his sobriety and cor
rect department by all who knew him.
SThe Democrat complains that we
have not furnished practical ideas on
water works. Very well, the people
elected board of five for that purpose,
doubtless believing the old adage, 1.-THE
more heads, the more wisdom, if one
is but Sleeps" The editor of fhe
Democrat was made one of the number
to fill the rule to the fullest extent.

The Convention to form a constitution
for Oregon, is progressing finely at la
test accounts. The people of Oregon,
warned by the example of California,
are leaving no loop holes for extrava-
gance in administering the government
of the infant State. Not counting them
selves able to support too many officers
the Governor is to be also State Treas
urer, and for discharging the duties per-
tanning to both Offices only a salary of
$4,000 is allowed. II is probable tie
rioa ooce method of voting will be adopt
ed by the Convention. Thus frauds on
the election franchise will be totally
prevented The Convention manifests
great deal of talent thus far and will
doubtless secure to what is to be our
sister State a good constitution.

SOUTHERN CONFERENCE.-The bust
ness committee of the Southern CONVEX :
ton lately assembled in Knoxville, Ten :
nessee, reported against free trade and
direct taxation; against the South re-
Ceiving goods from States not upholding
the Fugitive Slave Law; against any
discrimination of the Government in ia
vor of foreign mail lines from northern
ports; in favor of the exemption of one
slave to each STAKEHOLDER from seizure
for debt; in favor of erecting Arizonia
into Territory; in favor of recoverin z
lands lost by recent treaty with Mexi-
CO. 1t also reported that the time had
not vet arrived for the calling of con

trade. Resolutions were also passed in
favor of Withdrawing the squadrons

- From the data that can be OBJ
tanned we learn that but four counties
in the State gave a constitutional ma
jority in favor of convention. OF
these Shasta is the banner county. poll
ing about $3.50, 1889 of which were
cast for a convention. Nevada comes
next, giving clear majority of upwards
of 1900 votes. Napa and Santa Cruz
complete the list.
The State Debt would have met with
the same fate had it depended upon a
majority of all the votes cast in the
State for its success. Happily that
question depended upon the law of the
last Legislature rather than on the con-
stitution, or we might now be occupying
the unenviable position of a repudia-
ton State.
