REPUBLICAN County CONVENTION
This body met in Oroville on Saturday last,
and passed resolutions and appointed nom
mating committee of fifteen, who are to
nominate candidates for county officers at
some future period, if they shall deem it ad
visabe If the committee would take the
advice of dsinterested outsider, they
would not only make no nominations for
county officers, but would recommend all
Republicans to vote the entire Democratic
ticket They would thus secure the election
of good men-''honest, capable and faithful
to the constitution"albeit they might no.,
be- considered perfectly orthodox on the
''Dred Scott decision Should the commit
tee conclude to recommend such course,
they viii find plenty of Democratic tickets
on election day, and thus save the expense
of printing republican tickets

ARRIVAL ExTRAoRpINARY. The re.
nowned and valiant General Childs, so long
a member of the third house of our Califor-
MIA Legislature, arrived here yesterday from
Marysville. The General is on a tour for
his health, and yesterday while at the Uni
ted States Hotel was receiving the polite at
tentions of large concourse of old and new
friends. He has long been a most valuable
adjunct to the Orleans Hotel, Sacramento
and a steadfast friend of Mr. Hardenburgh,
its proprietor, and the Generals grief on the
occasion of Mr.. Hardenburghs withdrawal
from said hotel, has rendered it necessary
he should travel for a season to regain his
usual flow of sptrits He will sojourn with
us for a limited period, and from here will
go to Rabbit Creek and to other mountain
towns. We shall endeavor to keep the pub
lie apprised of the movement Of this distin-
guished military chieftain.

CoNTEMPTIBLE KNAvERY.-Some malic
ious sconndrel, too mean and contemplate
to possess the faculty of enjoying good
health, took it upon himself TO cut holes in
the seats of several new cane bottom chairs
belonging to Mr.. Marchella, and used in his
Saloon. on the corner of Huntoon street, and
the Plaza A man who has nothing better
to do than thus wantonly and maliciously to
destroy the property of another, ought to
have position in the chaingang, and be
treated to "round dozen" every morning.

Lobbying and Boring.

This has been great business, the San
Francisco Globe truly says, in the Legisla-
lures of several States of the Union, as we'll
as in the House of Representatives at Wash
ington. Massachusetts has been trying her
hand at the matter among others. A re-
cent number of the Boston Post has the fol-
lowing
lin the famous lobbying case now on trial
IN the Superior Court, the secrets of the
profession are likely to be fully brought out
witness for defence, whose face has shone
very luminously in the State House for sew
eral years past, was called as an expert,
and classified the members of the third
house as iob6gers and borers. Lobbying
consisted In preparing cases, attending to
hearings before committees, and making ar
guments; boring. in taking the facts in the
case and pumping them into the members
In the first class he was familiar with the
charges for services; but the other, the kind
of labor which he said the plaintiff perform
ed, and which was of a lower grade, he did
not know the prices current Of"
Much valuable information in both the
above branches might be obtained in Cali
fornia, whore they have been successfully
practised since the organization of the State
Government. Probably the entire amount
of special legislation for private interests,
with which the State has been cursed, her
advancement and prosperity retarded, and
| the pnblic made to contribute to private in
terests, have been passed by the lobbying
and boring process.
The many special acts heretofore lobbyed
through our legislature, have not, we be-
lieve, been directed against the treasury of
Butte county, but our recent rapid ad-
vancement, has singled the county out as
one whose taxpayers could afford to bleed
for the advancement of private interests,
and lobbying and boring secured the passage
Of a bill appropriating $40 900 of Butte co.
funds for the construction of a road, located
by the act, and which can only benefit a few
individuals and comparatively small pOr-
tion of the county. This bill, owing to the
active exertons of our Members. Messrs'
Long and Morrison, was amended so as to
permit the people of the county to say
whether they would be taxed for such pur-
pose. 1t will be their duty to vote upon this
measure at the approaching election in Sep
tember. We shall endeavor to publish the
bill soon, in order that the tax payers may
become familiar with its provisions, and vote
understandingly. We regard the bill as
calculated to seriously retard the prosperity
of the county, not only by misappropriating
its revenue, but also by turning the travel
away from the principal place in the county
and from the property taxed for its con-
struction. We only desire, however, that
the voters should properly understand the
measure, and shall be satisfied with their
decision. We're all special acts of legisla-
tion submitted to the people for their ap
proval, we apprehend they would have but
little cause Of complaint

RIVER INTELLIGENCE.

The RIVER is still falling here. By our
dispatches, it will he seen that the river is
falling rapidly at Cincinnati, and we have q
fair prospect OF low water soon.
OF The snag by which the Shotwell was
sunk at the head Of .'Old Hem" is said to be
a new interloper, "hidden monster" with
whom pilots are not familiar. The Cline
rubbed it only few hours after the Shotwell
but fortunately it did not try her bottom SC
severely.
o. The Mississippi river is now at thai
stage when it is not only difficult, but dan
gorous, owing to the many changes in the
channel, bars and other distractions that gc
toward making up the dangers and perils o
navigation. Boats bound down stream are
compelled to lay mp almost every night and
it is even so with many in running up stream
hence they have long and tedious trips.
We are glad to know that the Mississippi
is rising rapidly, and by this time is in a fail
boating stage.
The A. L. SEoTwELL.-The steamer Johr
Simonds took off the Shotwell GOO tons o
freight. The Memphis Bulletin, Of Saturday
learns from Capt. Elliott that "the sand i
washing away from under the boat and tina
she now lies in much better condition. HI
confidently hopes that, with the Submarine
now on its way down, he can raise the Shot
we'll in a few days" Other Memphis papers
however, state that she cannot be raised.
OF The Selma, an uncouth looking stran
ger from the Mississippi. took on lot of to
bacco yesterday. at OUT wharf, and passed up
to finish her load above.
