Nevada Items.

From the Nevada Journal we gather the
following items. An affray occurred at Eu-
reka, Nevada county, between man named
Henry Managin and another named Julius
Reidel. Managin assaulted Reidel with a
knife, cutting him severely in the face, at
the same time holding a cooked pistol to his
head Reidel seized carving knife and de-
Tended himsel with it, and finally stabbed
Managin so severely that he died. Reidel
was examined and acquitted.

recently been found near Nevada by Capt.

has been traced thousand feet in length,
and is exceeding rich. The rock can be quar-
ried out at an expense of two dollars per
ton.
SUICIDE "A Frenchman named Celestine
Rey committed suicide at Bourbon Hill -
He accomplished the deed by shooting him
self with shot.g He placed the gun

Our Staff Ticket.

AT the head of our columns we place to-
day the names Of the nominees of the Demo-
cratic State Convention. The large vote
which each and every one of them received
points them out as the decided choice of the
Democracy, and as such we recognize them,
and towards their election shall lend what
aid we can command. There is not man
among them whose Democracy we can for n
moment question, and none whom we shall
fail to support As the file leaders of our
State Democracy. We believe the ticket to
be strong one, and one which will triumph
over oil the parties and sms that will be
arrayed against it. We believe there will
be the utmost unanimity of feeling and the
most ardent cooperation among the men,
bers CT the party in support of these nomi-
nees, and once elected, we are proud to
think that better set of officers were never
entrusted with high position, within this or
any other State of the confederacy. From
our personal knowledge and the reputation
of these gentlemen, we believe them each to
be eminently qualified to the Office which
they have been selected to fulfill, and are
glad to possess the means of Offering support
such as it is to aid in their advancement
The Democracy can we'll congratulate them
selves that so strong a ticket has been nomi-
nated.I

Licenses,

We yesterday heard of another instance
where our show license law has proved itself
particularly oppressive and exorbitant. 1t
was in the case of Jacobs "theWiza rd" His
license for exhibition one night, is,--State
county and town com four
dollars. As much or more than the rent of
the Hall. Is such a system of taxation as
this in conformity with the spirit of our
boasted liberty' Is the virtual exclusion
of exhibitions of this kind in accordance e
with our much talked of freedom of action /?
1t certainly strikes us that such oppressive G
ordinances as this are neither right or con-
stitutional. They are radically wrong, and
in violation of all ideas of common sense and
Republican customs.
Wehave no particular love for Mr. Jacobs,
nor much anxiety to see him perform; but
| so long as his exhibition is of as harmless a
nature as it is, he has right to give it
without being subjected to such an unrea-
sonable license We confess to desire for
the qualification of our tastes, and our tastes
lead us to visit exhibitions of all kinds that
are novel, instructive and amusing, and we
don't want to be deprived of the exercise of
our inciinations through the stupidity and
lily conceived and worse executed laws of n
corporation, which simply because it has a
vested power sees fit to abuse it,
Oroville charges higher price for show
licenses than any city or town in the United
States; and wby' Through false notion
of economy. Through the idea that by
driving away exhibitions of all kinds we
shall eventually be better off. financially -
Nothing else can be consistent reason and
this in our way of thinking is far from con-
sistent.
If our people want to 60 to the juggler,
the theatre, the concert, let them have a
chance for doing so. Don't drive them into
grog shops, houses of illfame and gambling
saloons BY your ehorbitant license law, as
you surely do and will so long as you drive
showmen out of town by your license system.
We urge it upon the Board of Trustees 20 re-
peal tho obnoxious ordinance, and modify
the law so it may be within the bounds of
reason. The very idea of young town like
Orovlle setting her price of license so infin-
itively above that of all others elsewhere, is
supremely absurd, and as q most unwise
provision should be set aside. We hope the
Board will see fit to act upon this matter,
and at once What has been done regard
ing The petition which was laid before the
Trustees? Is it lost' If not, why not act
upon it?

GAsoMETER BURsT.-We learn by the

The Dinieulties Settled.

On Tuesday, Capt. Mark Dobbins and
Lance Nightingale accompanied by Jack
Kimmel as guide. passed through here on
their way to Berry Creek, the scene of the
recent Indian disturbances. The errsnd Of
Captain Dobblns, was the arrangement of a
peace between the Indians and whites, and
speaking the language perfectly as he does
and knowing the habits and customs of the
Indians, he is perhaps the very best man
who could be selected for snch an under
taking.
They arrived at Berry Creek late on
Tuesday night, and on Wednesday morning
Captain Dobbins held an interview with the
chief (Wack- -ki-hoo.) The name of the tribe
is Eston Coyo, which numbers some foul
hundred and fifty or five hundred.
At the first interview the chief addressed
the captain in a speech Of about half an
hour, when he related his grievances, and
stated his intentions and wishes After the
speech, the captain retired, and in the af
ternoon replied to Wack- -ki-hoo, or Black
Hawk, and told the exact state of affairs,
and what he must expect if he warred
against the whites.
Subsequent to the parley, Black Hawk
held q conference with his warriors and
finally concluded to make peace. and by n
string with ten knots in it, signifed his
promise to keep on friendly terms with the
whites for ten years. The services of Capt.
Dobbins were really invaluable, concluding
as they die the only reliable treaty of peace
ever established between these Indians and
the whites.

This gentleman, who during the past year
occupied the position of Public Administra-

nominated by an immense vote, the nominee

the Office is of considerable Importance and

For the Butte Record.l
The Senatorial Convention

An arbitrary exercise of power IS not al
ways in sound policy. 1t is natural for the
human mind to revolt against such exercise
unless it be based upon strict justice -
Should nation, because it has the power,
regardless of the rights of weaker nation,
destroy the weaker, or improperly control
its government; the nation exercising such
power would merit and receive the severest
censure of the civilized world. What is
true in reference to governments, and also
as q general principle, would of course prove
true, when applied to such Conventions as
the one to convene on the Goth Instant, to
nominate Senators for this and Plumas
counties. Without doubt, the delegates
from Butte will have the power to nominate
such men as they pleaee for Senatorial hon.
ors, and so far as the Senator who may be
nominated to represent the interests Of
Butte county is concerned, it is proper the
Butte delegates should name their choice.
But it does not follow that it is just, that
the Butte delegation name the man whom
Plumas, in conjunction with Butte, shall
support, even though the lot fall upon a
resident of Plumas, while the injustice Of
such nomination will appear more fully
by supposing that the Butte delegation
having a majority in Convention, nominate
both Senators from Butte county, irrespect-
i've of the wishes of the Plumas delegation.
A result like this, probably need not be fear
ed. but to me it appears that the second
choice of Senator'S should be frankly offered
to the Plumas delegation, that they may
confidently name their candidate, whether
from this or their own county, and that
they may be satisfied, they will be treated
by Butte county with due courtesy and
strict justice Such n course would inspire
a mutual confidence between the two coun-
ties, and cause them to act in unity through
out the campaign.
Respectfully yours, ALEXR.

EARTHQUAKE.--The HUMBOLDT Times
tells Of very severe shock of an earthquake
which occurred in that section of the State
on the l4th ult. about half past eight in the
evening. Most of the clocks in town
(Union) were stopped. goods were thrown
down from the shelves in the stores. and one
building was perceptibly moved on its foun.
dation. The shock lasted only few seconds
and was felt throughout the whole neigh
boring country. Coming on the day after
the one fixed for the arrival of the predc-
ted comet, many of the inhabitants we're
awfully alarmed, imagining that il was the
signal of the arrival of that distinguished
stranger. The shock was more sensibly
felt in the mountains than in the valleys.
