Demoer..,e STATE Convention.

The delegates to the Democratic State Con-
.vention convened yestsrday in Sacramento, for
the purpose Of dominating candidates for State
officers. Considerable interest Is manifested Ia
the resuIt bf their dslbenatiOnA - 1t Is an adj
nsitted fact that nomination By that body is
equivalent 10 an election. That John D. Weller
will receive the nomination for Governor, there
can scarcely be doubt, as 10 is claimed that near
two hundred Of the delegates elected, are favor
able to him. In regard to the prospects Of the
other candidates but little is known. Perhaps,
the most important enfcer to be elected this
year, 10 that of Justice Of the Supreme Court,
In place Of Justice Burnett, whose term expires
on the first of January next. The msst impor-
tant aspirants for this position are Stephen J.
Field Of Yuba, and J. II. McKune Of Sacramen-
to. Mr. Field Is 9 gentleman Of splendid legal
attainmsnts, and has many chances in his favor.
OF Mr.. McKune's legal abilities we know moth
ing; be has been put forward by the settlers
who hope by electing him to reverse recent
decision Of the Supreme Court adverse to their
interests. The fact that Mr., McKune resides in
the same county as Col. Weller, will interfere
considerably with his chances Of success For
Lieut.. Governor Pablo de Ia Guerra Of Santa
Barbara, and J. R. Hardenburg Of Sacramento,
are said TO be aspirants Should Col. Weller
be nominated for Governor, the Convention
will scarcely take the Lieut.. Governor from the
same county, and the nomination Of Harden
burg may therefore be considered as out of the
question. De Ia Guerra Is q native Californian,
man Of fine ability, and has much influence
with the native population Of the State. These
considerations will have their weight with the
Convention, aud his chances for the nomination
may be considered good. Thos. Findley Of Ne.
vada. and r. A. Ashe Of San Francisco, are the
only candidates for Treasurer who have a rea
sonable chance Of success. or their relativ,
, strength in the Convention we can form bu
little idea; Mr.. Findley however, has the advan
tage of locality in his favor. a, ao

Fatal AFTRAY.-An afray occurred at Eu-
reka, in this county, on Wednesday, the 9th
instant, which resulted in the death Of q
man named Jones, alias Henry Managin. An
inquest was held upon the body by Justice Cald-
web. ana from the testimony ELECTED, 1t ap-
pears that the deceased with some others, had
been up all the night previous to the morning
Of the afray, ob a drunken debauch, and that
he went to the house Of julius Reidel in the
morning before be was up, and caused him to
get out Of bed, and asked for liquor, which Rel
del refused to give him. Managin then left with
the threat that he would get a pistol and shoot
Reidel. He returned with q pistol in his right
hand and q knife in bis left, walked to the
counter, behind which Reidel was standing, and
cut him several times in the face with the knife,
at the same time holding the pistol at him. The
only witness who saw the ARRAY, believes the
pistol was cooked. Reidel then caught hold oi
the right arm of Managin, at the same time pick
ing up large carving knife which was near
him, and walking from behind the counter
turned the deceased partially round and cut
him several times in the back with the knife
He died from the effects Of the wounds, about
o'clock the same day. Reidel Immediately
gave himself up, but was discharged by Justice
Caldwell, who considered the homicide from
the evidence before him, justilable. r eg

MYSTERIOUS Sentinel published at Santa
Cruz, relates the following as having created
considerable interest in Watsonville during the
past week:
A horse fully accoutered but without an
attendant, had been noticed by some persons
tied up to haystack, where he remained for
about two days The people concluded to in-
vesngate the cause Of this unusual proceeding
end upon making an examination, found Va.
lise, containing under clothing, clotted with
blood, and poll-tax receipt for 1857, made out
IN the name of John Gray, and filed up by the
otanlslaus county officials. Inquiry was made
at once, but no one knew anything of the rider
or property. 1t is supposed BY many that there
has been foul play, but at present all is envel-
oped in painful mystery, which time only can
develop: The assessor Of Stauislaus county has
ceen written TO, and search for the missing man
has been made, as yet without avail. The horse
is said to have Coopers brand on him. and has
been taken in charge by the officials

prospcstus and catalogue Of the above institu-

exercises of the Sixth Annual Commencement,
and the distributions Of premiums. Describing
the advantages to be derived, the prospectus
says:
Besides an able and numerous body of expe-
rienced Professors from the best Colleges of the
Society, both in Europe and in the Atlantic
States, the Institution enjoys considerable ad-
vantages for the mental and physical training
of the students. Among others, It possesses, lst,

Tho oppos,t,on to tho Demoersey.

A gathering of the Black Republicans met in
Sacramento last week, and nominated full
State ticket to be voted for by the members Of
that party, at the next general election. Mr..
Ed. Stanley, of San Francisco, was nominated
on the first ballot for Governor. Subsequent
to the adjournment ofthe Convention, Mr. Stan
ley accepted the nomination. though be does
not seem to know, IL we may Judge from bis
own statements, what the principles of the par
ty are. In fact, they seem to have been more
anxious to get available men nominated than
those who would represent their principles. BY
nominating Mr.. Stanley, who has not been par
ticularly identified with the Republican party,
they had hopesof combining all the opposition to
the Democratic party upon him. In this, they
may, to some extent succeed
A Convention Of Know Nothngs has been
called, to meet at Sacramento on the 28th inst,
but considering the demoralized condition of
that party, 1t is scarcely to be expected that
they will put ticket in the field In no part
Of the State could they command respectable
vote, aud in many Of the counties 1t would be
found impossible to get up n Know Nothing
ticket The Peoples party movement Of last
spring was dead failure, and the settlers, Hs
such, have but little strength except in two or
three counties. The Vigilance party Of San
Francisco. will have little inducement to vote
any other than the Republican ticket, as 1t is
principally made up Of men whowere open Wig
ilantes when that disgraceful organization was
hourishins, and who still secretly sympathize
with that movement.
Thus far, nothing has occurred to induce us
to change the opinion we expressed some time
ago, that the Democrats and Republicans would
be the only opposing parties in the election cam
paign of this season. That the Democracy will
be victorious, there cannot be q doubt, As yet
however, it is too early to speculate upon the
probable strength of the opposition. ''.1

BLASTING AccIDENT--Mr. VIM. Patterson, for
merly from Howard county, Missouri, was ter
ribly injured at Waloupa on Thursday last, by
the accidental discharge Of blast. Mr.. Patter-
son was holding the tamping-iron in his hand
and another man striking upon it to tamp in
the powder when the blast exploded. The
tamping iron passed through Patterson's left
arm near the elbow joint, carrying of portion
of the joint bones, his face was shockingly mutt
lated and cut by the rocks and powder, and
two fingers on his right hand were blown off.
The sight of one Of his eyes is destroyed, aid it
is feared his arm will have to be amputated.
Should the arm be saved it will be of little use
to him as the elbow-jont will be stif. The 9th
er man was slightly injured. aaa .-E

ANOTHER Rich QuARIz LoDE.--A rich quartz
lode was discovered by Capt John Day, on the
4th Of July, about three miles above this place,
on Deer creek The lode is about foot thick,
and has been traced near thousand feet in
length. Some eight or ten ton of rock has been
quarried out, which will be taken to Grass Val
ley to be crushed Scarcely piece OF the rock
can be picked up that does not show more or
lees gold The lode runs almost at right angles
with Deer creek, and rises with the bluff on
each side. Any quantity Of rock can be taken
out at an expense of from one to two dollars a
ton. Capt. Day has been engaged in quartz for
the past six years, and has heretofore been un-
successful; but the lode which he has recently
discovered is one of the richest in the county.

CHANGE OF VENuE.-Thc case Of Butler, in
dicted for murder in Sierra county, has been
transferred to Nevada, and will be tried at the
next term of the District Court. The alledged
murder was committed some two years ago, and
Butler escaped into Oregon. A reward was Of
fered for his apprehension by citizens of Sierra,
and he was followed and arrested by au officer
On his way back, the officer who had him in
charge, fell overheard from the vessel and was
drowned, and Butler was suspected of having
pushed him Off the vessel though Of this, there
is no proof The case has been talked about SC
much in Sierra county, that it was found imPos
siiJIe to get an impartial jury, hence its trans
fer to this county.

ARREsrED-Thos Hammond and John Car
roll, charged with the murder of Mr.. Grazier
and wife, at the head Of Tomales Bay, in Marin
county, on the 9th Of June last, were arrested .
few days ago by sheriff vischer of Marin, and
have been lodged in the San Francisco Station
house. It will be rscollected that the evidence
before the Coroner was, that Hammond kicked
the man and woman so that they died shortly
afterwards, while Carroll stood by with pistol
to prevent Spanish boy from interfering; that
the difficulty was supposed to be on account of
an old grudge, but was directly brought about
by Hammond insisting on killing Grazier's dog,
for killing . hog The Sheriff and his posse inn
mediately started in pursuit Of the murderers.
and have only recently succeeded In taking
them.

committed suicide by shooting himself last Sat-
urday, on Bourbon Hill. He went to miner 8
cabin in the morning, the occupants Of which
gave him something to eat, and went to their
work, leaving him in the cabin. Soon after the
miners left, they heard the dogs bowling, and
on going to the cabin they found that Rey had
shot himself with double-barreled gun which
was in the cabin. He had placed the gun
against his breast and fired it Off by pushing
against the trigger with stick. The charge
entered near the heart cutting several large
blood vessels. We are informed that Rey was
q poor worthless fellow, who would not work,
but lived upon the charity Of his acquaintance.

The County Convention.

The proceedings Of the Democratic Conven-
tion, for the election Of delegates to the State
Convention, will bo found on our first page.
The delegates elected are understood to bc In
favor Of Weller for Governor; fifteen Of them
for Findlcy and four for Swsetland for State
Treasurer, and In case Sweetland should not be
acandidato Findley will get sixteen votes.
The manner in which the delegates were
appointed created considerable dissatisfaction
among the friends Of Sweetland and Dawley.
Heretofore II has been customary for the dele
gates from the several townships to retire aud
elect the number Of delegates to the State Con-
vention to which their respective townships are
entitled. This rule has been found to give gen.
eral satisfaction, as by 1t the different sections
Of the county could be fairly represented. The
friends Of Flndlsy, having clear majority in
the Convention, adopted the plan Of having the
delegates selected by a committee, appointed
BY the chair, consisting OF one from each town.
ship. BY this process Of Capitalization the
wishes Of the majority Of the small townships
were disregarded, and delegates selected who
we're nearly oil in favor Of Findley. The mi
ncrity fought hard against this innovation up
on the custom Of the party in this county, and
tho speeches of Messrs. Moyes, Hanna, and 9TH
crs we're models of eloquence. II was evident
that the talent was on the side Of the minority,
but the majority were insxorablc, and not a
vote could be changed. After the Convention
adjourned. the minority contented themselves
with the only right Of which they could not be
deprived that Of grumbling; and this glorious
privilege WIS INDUCED in to the fullest extent
allowed by the usages Of the Democratic party
The experience Of this Convention has dem
onstrated the necessity of changing the mode
of eleeting delegates to the State Convention.
II Is desirable that the delegates should come
as fresh from the Democratic electors as prac-
ticable, and that great Improvement in this
next State Convention is held, we trust the Gen.
trail Committee will apportion the number of
delegates to which this county is entitled, among
the several townships, appoint the judges, and
fix place In each for holding the primary
election. The sentiments of the different town
ships would then be fairly represented, and al
though no one man would be likely to carry
the whole county for State office, yet the dis
affection and hsart-burnings insepsrable from
the centralzatOn Of the county vote would be
obviated.
The heavy vote which Mr.. Findley has OBJ
talned in this county proves his popularity here,
and his nomination for State Treasurer is ear
nsstly desired by q large portion of the Nevada
Democracy. His correct business habits pecu-
liarly 1t him for discharging the duties Of the
office, and his integrity is above suspicion.
