MuuNrAIN IIoMEs.-A recent number of the
San AndrcaS Independent contains a sensible
article, entitled "The Ranching Interest in
the Mines" from which VIC make the follow
ing extract
"Wc may safely assert that nothing has
contributed so much towards humanizing So
ciety throughout the mines as the ranching in
tcrest. Ia every mining precinct We now see
from one to half n dozen beautiful little spots
nicely enclosed, planted in vines, fruit trees,
vegetables and grain, where live, for the most
part, the earliest pioneers of the mountains,
surrounded by their families. They arc re.
nowned for their hospitality, almost without
exception; their houses arc the resort of the
wayiarcr ard the miner, who never have cause
to 60 away dissatisfied with the treatment Of
the host. They are n class who do not rapid
ly grow rich; nor indeed, do we think, that,
as class, they are very much troubled by the
pangs of avaricc. They are content to live in
humble independence, and wait with fortitudc,
the dawn of brighter day."

ANOTHER CANDIDATE.-We learn that Mr..
CONFESS has reluctantly yielded to the urgent
solicitations of the Opposition; and has con-
scented to be candidate for the Assembly,
In making this announcement We deem it our
duty to the Democratic party and Gov. Wei
Ter to contradict; In the most positive manner,
an idle and foolish rumor, calculated to injurc
Gov Weller, which has been circulated quiet
ly in this city. The rumor referred to amounts
to this: That Gov. Weller has written to his
confidential friends in this county to defeat
Capt Rock, the regular nominee of the Dem
ocratic party, and TO elect Mr.. CONFESS One
OF his lirnest friends, at least, so assured de-
voted follower of Mr.. CONFESS We take it
upon ourselves, without authority from Gov.
Weller, to pronounce the foolish rumOr false
in every particular. Gov. Wellcrs whole life
gives the lie to it. lie is and has ever been
an uncomprOmising Democrat, has ever inncx-
IDLY adhered to the usagcs Of the party, and is
the last Democrat in the State who would
sanction any detection in its ranks. II there
Is any one virtue in Gov. Weller we admire
more than another, it is his disinterested devo-
ton to the Democratic party-a devotion that
has never been questioned that has been con-
spcuous in every political contest. lie is not
compromising man, nor would he, to secure
his election to the L. S. Senate, say or do any
thing that might even remotely have ten.
dency to disturb the harmony Of the Demo-
cratic party, much less advise his friends to
vote for one of its opponents. Honest, fear
less, incOrruptiblc, he resorts to no question
able means to attain his ends; and he neither
asks nor would accept aid outside Of his party.
Knowing him as we do, we take it upon our.
selves to pronounce, in the most emphatic and
unqualified manner, the silly rumor bascly
false. 1t is fortunate that Gov. Weller has
other than indiscrcet friends in Ell Dorado

The State Convention.

Tie poitica! history of, Tennessee
speaks Of few Conventions, more general.
ly attended, more united ic feeling and
harmonious in action, than the State
en- tie 18th inst. All portions of the
S ale were represented by delegates IN per-
son or by proxy, and attended byra class
Of delegates Of whom any party and any
people might be justly prnud. There
were present the statesman, the jurast. The
attorney, the mechanic and the farmer
each and all representing the varied in
terests Of the State, and all animated
with the desire 70 haze those interests
work on in harmony. The agricultural
Interests of the State we're represented by
large numbers, of lard working, plain
substantial and intelligent farmers. men
of sense and sound judgment, who esteem
the prosperity Of the State and the per
petuiiy OF tie true republican principles
OF government Of far higher Importance
. than the honors OF place or the promo
lions to rack. OF such was the Gonven
tion composed and "thu:r deliberate and
settieu cohVlcl'onS upoN State poIlcy,
could be hardly otherwise than wise,
sound and practical.
The nomination Of Isham G. Harris for
re.elec,ion to the office of Governor, was
in accordance with the expressed will and
wish OF the Democracy from one end Of
the State 10 the other. No name was
! put in nomination against his, nor did we
bear even the mere suggestion Of the
thing. The administration Of Gov. Har
Yis has been one Of s,rai ghtfor ward homes
"ty, economy. frmness and strict imparti
ality, in other words, purely Democratic,
and his re.nomlnaton by acclamation,
was a compliment deserving and well
bestowed. That the re- nomination oi
Gov. Harris is equivalent to an election
in August, no one p-etenda to doubt, and
yet Dem ocrats viii remember that "Eter.
nal Vigilance, is the Prize OF Liberty"

done, vigorous and animated speeches
were delivered by Judge Nicholson, Hon.

TIE Sickles Case.

Mr.. Sickles' Case was brought, to the
notice Of bis honor, Judge Crawford
Thursday morning, by Lis attorneys, Stan
ton ard Chiffon, with request that the
court would use its efforts TO bring their
client to trial as soon as possible.
The Court assured the counsel that he
had no conuo! OF the case, as the indict
ment had not come before him, an1 j,
rested with the District Attorney to make
the necessary arrangements and appoint
day.
In reply, the District Attorney said
that he was unable 10 give at this time
any positive Information as TO the day on
which he would be ready.
The counsel for Mr. Sickles then remar
ked that a prescntment had been made
one week ago, and they desired to know
the cause Of the delay.
We bave heard some surprise express
ed at the delay, especially as it is said
that Mr.. Sickles' counsel have given no
tice from day to day Of their readiness tc
proceed.
II is believed that the .ral will COM
mence in the ea'ly part of next week.
There were present to day in Court ii
behalf of Mr.. Sickles. Messrs. Stanton
Phillips, Radcif. and Mr.. Sickles' father
who is also lawyer. Messrs. James T.
Brady and Graham, OF New York, are
waiting to be ,elegraphed for as soon n
the day Of trial is decided on.
