PROF. MORSE AND THE CABLg."-The rendez-
vous for the two telegraph cable ships is to be at
Cork, about the 9th Of July, where the cables
will be joined, in order to talk through the whole
line, to see if there is no flaw. The cable will
then be cut, and the ships will then proceed to
sea. Mr.. Morse has some apprehension that the
ships will not be ready TO go to sea by the time
specified, and he says that, II they are not ready
during the FIRST eight days Of August. he will MOI
consent to the operation this year, as he would8e
afraid OF the storms on the coast in the last&eek
Of August. The ships will run out about six miles
an hour, and each vessel will have 900 miles TO
accomplish. which will require Is days for each
to arrive at its haven.

PRAYERS FOR ALL MEN.
BY VICTOR HUGO.

MY daughter, SO and pray See, night is come :
One golden planet perces through the gloom
Trembles the misty outline Of the hill.
Listen the distant wheels in darkness glide
All else is hushed the tree by the roadside
Shakes in the wind its dust strewn branches still.
Day is for evil, wearincss and pain.
Let us to prayer calm night is come again:
The wind among the ruined towers so bare
Sghsmournfuly; the herds. the aocks, the streams,
All suffer, all complain worn nature seems
Longing for peace, for slumber, and for prayer.
It is the hour when babes with angels speak
While we are rushing to our pleasures weak
And sinful, all the young children, with bent
knees,
Eyes raised to Heaven and small hands folded fair
Say at the self-same hour the self-same prayer
On our behalf to Him who all things Sees
Oh chldhood's hallowed prayer religion deep
OF love, not fear, in happiness expressed
So the young bird when done its twilight lay
OF praise folds peacefully at shut Of day
Its head beneath its wing, and sinks to rest.
Pray thou for all who living tread
Upon this earth of graves
For all whose weary pathways lead
Among the winds and waves;
For him who madly takes delight
In pomp Of silken mantle bright,
Or swiftness of o horse;
For those who, laboring. suffer still
Coming or going-dong ill
Or on their heavenward course.
Pray thou for him who nightly sins
Until the day dawns bright
Who at ewes hour of prayer begins
His dance and banquet light:
Whose impious orgies wildly ring,
While pious hearts are offering
Their prayers at twilight dim;
And who, those vespers all forgot,
Pursues his sin, and thinketh not
God also hcareth han.
Child pray for all the poor beside;
The prisoner in his cell,
And those who in the city wide
With crime and misery dwell
For the wise sage who thinks and dreams;
For him who mpiously blasphemes
Religions holy law.
Pray thou--for prayer is infinite
Thy faith may give tho scorcher light,
Thy prayer forgiveness draw.

your readers some facts relative to the mines ana
mining interests in this remote locality.
Generally the miners on the creek are uolnS
we'll however no extensive strikes can be chron-
icled We will have an abundance of water this
season, both for the supply of the old claims,
and those who may wish TO prospect or open new
ones. Heretofore many of the best paying claims
have been abandoned for the want of water.
Snch however, will not be the case this season,
and we predict a larger yield than during any
previous year.
Col. Seanlan and party have just returned from
q nrosneetinp tour in the northern part of the
country. They visited Grizzly Fork and other
tyibntaries of the North Fork Of the Trinity Ri
yer. They report fatterng prospects. and q
very extensive region in that section indicative
of being gold bearing country. The company
have secured claims and water privileges and
intend returning this week. The Col. was the
first man that ever carried an Express from this
place to Weavervile and Shasta the only man
/ ever knew to complete successfully on foot
land carry Express mater) with horse flesh.
Our old friend and fellow townsman, Mr.. Thos
Hall, has Just returned from the Atlantic States
understand that he is looking out for a location
with view to permanent settlement with his
family in our County.
Politics have not as yet created much excite
ment with us. The American party unanimously
endorse the nomination of Mr. Neblctt. The
contest between Mr.. Nebett and Mr.. Crownng-
shield nominee Of the Democratic party, will un-
doubtedly be close.
Yesterday was the hottest of the season. The
thermometer stood to $50 in Fisher & Cos saloon,
which is the coolest place in town.

A Word with the Reader.

BY the yalcdictory Of Mr.. Curtis it will be seen
that have purchased his interest in the JOURNAL.
In stating this have also to state to the citizens Of
Trinity County, and to the readers OF the Journal,
that the change thus made will not change the
position or character Of the paper in the the fu-
ture. My connection commenced with the first
issue of the JOURNAL, and can say in truth, that
have labored zealously from the date Of that
issue to the present one as one Of the proprietors,
to make it deserving the patronage a generous
public has so kindly bestowed.
Those who are aware Of the heavy outlay nee
essary to establish newspaper like the JOURNAL,
in County as thinly populated as our own, and
the amount Of means necessary to sustain an Office
embracing every variety Of type aud material,
and place the same on permanent basis, will not
hesitate TO bestow upon paper thus established,
and conducted upon Independent and impartial
grounds, their cordial support.
The past give as pledge of the future in re-
gard to the management of the paper. The sub
stantial interests of the County its mining, mer-
camille aud agricultural interest will receive the
attention and consideration which properly be-
longs to them.
In politics the JOURNAL will cndeavor, as here
ioiore, to maintain an independent and dgnifed
position impartial in its views, and aiming at
justice and truth as paramount to every other
consideration, d. E. GORDON,

To the Voters of the Ninth Judicial Dist.

We publish below the card Of Judge DANGER
field, to the voters Of the Ninth Judicial District
The notice in the Proclamation of Gov. johnson
for an election of District Judge for the Ninth
Judicial District to fill the position at present
occupied by the Hon. VIM. P. Dangerfeld, took
many by surprise, and is yet question of doubt
in the minds Of many able and intelligent citizens
The Judge explains in his card his position, which
precludes the necessity of any remarks from u.s.
he will no doubt receive from the citizens of the
Ninth District whom he has so ably and faithfully
served upon the bench, ready and willing en-
dorsement. We have not learned Of any definite
opposition
The Governor of California having issued
his Proclamation ordering the election OF Judge
for the 9Th Judicial District at the next election,
respectfully announce myself as q candidate
for that position
Had the Proclamation Of the Governor been
issued before the holding of the County Conven-
tlons in The District, or was there time now for
the assembling of a District Convention accord
ing to party usages, before the day Of election,
should not announce my self as q candidate for
Office without regular nomination but as there
can be no regular nomination in time to procure
union of action, at the solicitation of friends aud
in cons onance with my own feelings, respectfully
make the above announcement.
To those who know me personally, ] have no
promises TO make but to all others, pledge, if
elected my best exertions 10 administer the law
faithfully and impartially. as | understand il,
without fear, favor or affection.
In two of the counties composing this District,
il has been my province TO preside as Judge for
the last three years. and if from the people Of
those counties can receive the endorsement of
well done" shall feel highly gratiGed: Should
the people OF the District, however prefer anoth-

BURNING COUNTY WARRANTs.-The Board ot
Supervisors during its late session, burned num-
Der OF County warrants. 1t is impossible to state
the amount burned. No note was taken of them,
and whether one, or two thousand dollars OF war.
rants were destroyed will remain unknown
This proceeding was entirely unauthorized and
merits the severest condemnation. 1t is highly
improper to attempt to reduce the County debt
IN this manner. If the Board wish to pay the
County debt they should provide means to reduce
expenses and raise more cash. The warrants
burned were private property and the Board had
no just power over them. Unless all proof has
been lost these warrants still remain a valid claim
against the County.
The late law providing for the cancellation of
warrants affords no justification for the conduct
of the Board. A year must elapse after the en-
actment of that law before the Board can touch
one OF these uncalled for County warrants. 1t
matters not how long the warrant has been issued
u Is entltled to run year after the law was made
before it would be liable to be DESTROYED Sho,.
