ACCIDENT FROM CARELEssNEss.-
An accident of serious nature occurred
a, the Nebraska shaft on Saturday last.
At the time of shifting hands in the
morning. six men got in the car to de-
s,endtn inclined shaft, before the rope
was properly attached The track is
44O feet in length and on an incline of
about 10 degrees. Down this track the
ca- started with fearful velocity. The
engineer attempted to use a check, and
by SO doing threw one man, Samuel
Dayton, out in front and the car passed
over him, breaking his back, disjointing
his knee and bruising him terribly
The car in passing over the body OF
DAYTON was thrown from the track
Four men at this time jumped out leav-
ing Mr. Thomas Godfrey, who went to
the bottom in the ea-r and was badly
bruised. It ie-expected that he will be
about, however. in few days. Dayton
is not expected to recover. The acci-
dent was caused by the carelessness OF
the men in jumping into the car before
.he engineer was ready.

administration Primary Meeting.-
On Saturday the Administration Democ-
racy held their primary meeting in this
city, to elect delegates to the State Con-
vention. 364 votes were cast in all
though no inconsiderable effort was put
forth to get the sovereigns out. The
names of delegates elected arc as fol-
lows III. Meredith, A. Casamayou, a.
L. Laird, Casper Haupt, W. F. Ander-
son, H. Mills, J. G. Duffy aud S. Mccoy
all pledged to support Henry Mere.

unpledged. so far as we know, on the
Gubernatorial question. and will proba-
bly, go into convention prepared to buy
and sell on the most advantageous terms
for Meredith.

The Republican County Conventions

The Republican County COnvemtion.-
This body terminated its session on
Thursday of last week, at too late an
hour for us 10 give but brief synopsis
of the principal acts of their doing, in
our last issue. 1t is proper 20 say that
an animated debate sprung up in the
convention OH the policy of nominating
a county ticket. Messrs Birdseye,
Churchman, Gaylord and Crossman op-
posed the motion to nominate with much
force and reason, but the outside dele
cations were opposed to coming to the
county seat again. A motion to adjourn
for six weeks was lost and the conven-
ton proceeded to nominate a county
ticket in full,
Before adjourning the following res
olutions were passed.
Resolred, That the Republicans of
Nevada county invite the cooperation
Of all good citizens, in electing men to
the offices Of this county wEo are quail
fed for the positions to be filled, and
whose past character are sufficient guar
antee that the interests Of the county
will be in safe and honest hands.
Resolrcd, That in the selection of the
ticket this day presented for the suffra-
ges of the people of the county this con-
vention have not been governed by any
feeling of party illiberality but have
taken men in some instances without
their party lines, believing that the true
tests for local position should be the
character of the candidates and not
mere party discipline.

The WHITE DEER SKIN.-Sor

The WHITE DEER SKIN.-Some
months ago the Red Bluff Beacon stated
that our friend McCumber, of Sierra, had
killed a perfectly white deer. We then
expressed doubt of the fact.-During
the week, however, Mr.. McCumber
brought the skin of the animal to town,
and of course we are compelled to back
square down, for the skin is as white as
a snow drift. Mr.. McCumber has
been offered as much as $40 for it,

LEcoMPToN PRIMARY MEErING.-
The Lecomptons held a primary meet
ing for the election of delegates to the
state convention on Saturday last. The
contest was between Henry Meredith for
Congress and the friends of j. r. Nc
Connell for Supreme Judge. Out of
more than 800 votes polled McConnell's s
friends secured less than 80, which de-
monstrates that under the management
of wire-pullers no man of intellect has
any business to aspire to an Office. The
present system of nominating men is a

B. F. WAsHINGTON's LETTER'--The
Custom House Collector of the principal
port in the State, who is supposed to
have more intimate connection with
the President than any other man on the
coast, and therefore to speak with au-
thority, has written letter on political
topics to Democrat, doubtless with the
intention of having it pat in print. In
view of the hard row of corn be had to
hoe in endorsing the leading supporters
of the administration in their opinion of
of the obligations of the general govern
ment with respect to the protection of
slavery in the territories, Mr.. Washing
ton, with an idea to policy and the main
chance, attempts to get. in the outset, as
far as possible Oh the popular sovereign
ty shute. He declares himself believ-
er in the power of the people of Ter
ritory to exclude slavery if they choose
but before closing his epistTe takes occa-
sion to define the difference between
slavery and slare property, and pro-
nounces in favor Of Congress interfering
for protection IN favor of such property
and thereby practically makes a dis
tinction without difference. Mr., Wash
ington's idea, or the idea Of the power
that dictated the letter, was to befog
the subject he had in charge. which to
some extent he has done. Every clear
head will, however. discover that he
comes out of the same end of the cornu-
copia that the opponents of popular
sovereignty in the Democracy do, when
ever they attempt to argue the ques
ton. The difference between Mr..
Washington and the rahid, supporters of
the administration south is absolutely
nothing. His utmost endcayors might
be expected to be put forth in this state
on moderate grounds, but there is always
a mental reservation behind, latent now
but active when need be, for the election
Of Gwin, or any other man, who would
be sure to 60 with Senator Brown or
Davis for a slave code for Territories
We like an open undisguised issue. and
would much prefer that the real. univer-
sal question, of the rights and power of
the general government in Territories
should be settled fairly at once. Let us
have no evasion.

HOW ABOUT FIRE!-ARE
WE SAFE

We take up the pen with shame to
touch once more upon The subject Of
fires. 1t is all old theme, aud must
sound to our readers like gong to dy-
ing man. But unwelcome as may be the
sound. we feel compelled to awaken at
.cntion to a subject which long ago mer-
tied the most serious consideration
Nor hasit lost any of its merits at this
late day.
On every hand We hear expressed the
confident prediction that our city will
ere long be laid in ashes again. Every
BODY fears a calamity from the flames.
1t is the talk in families, in places of
business, and on the street. Scarcely
a wind blows but some one involuntary
suggests what a fine time for fire. -
Not spark is kindlea anyN here out OF
its legitimate place. but strikes terror
and occasions twelve days talk. "How
narrow an escape" is the patent exclam-
alton. We live upon volcano and all
feel an everything dread of something
awful in store fol- us. Yet the means
are in our own hands to secure safety
and extinguish fears. We have already
exhausted the subject of protection by
means of water-works or engines. Moth
ing short of the severest eompulsion'
will. we are satisfied, ever cause the
present population of Nevada 20 protect
their property against fires. Somehow
the spirit does not seem to be IN the
place. We have plenty of men to vote
but few to pay. Other towns move on
ward, secure property, and grow and
prosper. We, with more advantages
than any of them do nothing but live
and trembIe. A flame as large as
blanket when discovered would be liable
TO destroy hundreds of thousands OF
dollars to-day. Even the poor precau-
,ions resolved on by the Town Trustees
me neglected. There is an ordinance
We think, which provides that each res
ident head of a family shall have cer-
tain quantity of water kept constantly
on hand at all times. There was an Or
dinance relative to stove pipes and chin
neys, and another requiring ladders
As the fire season is upon us let us see
that these ordinances, if still living, be
enforced. If not living, let us have
some local enactment which will con-
duce to security- Every stove pipe,
stove, chimney, and fire place in the city
should be rigidly examined and the own
er or user oft be compelled to put it in a
safe condition. Ifnothing better can be
done let us have an ordinance which
will inspect the fire arrangements OF
every house, which will compel the keep
ing of abundant water always in readi-
ness. and other apparatus necessary to
assist in the e1tlnguishment OF mes
Let every precaution be taken until
McRoberts & Co. shall have completed
the laying of their large pipes through
our streets and we may feel compara-
lively safe. We hope the Trustees will
examine into this matter and act, as we
doubt not they will promptly. We al
so express hope that our worthy City
Marshal, who lately received 50 fatter-
ing a vote from the people, as the guar
dian of their interests, will see that no
law providedto protect the town against
fires is disregarded. Let us be vigilant
for season, hoping for more security In
the future.

Young's Gift Entertainment.-C. W.
Young, offers ON second occasion more
than $4,000 in gifts to be distributed in
prizes to holders of tickets on the 18th
of July. The articles are new and of
the choicest stock ever brought to the
city. There is nothing old and worth
less in the list. Approaching the COL
lection at its proper value, our citizens
are rapidly purchasing tickets-they ac-
tually go off like hot cakes. Examine
the advertisement, buy ticket, and see
a pyrotecnic, or some other popular ex-
hibition worth dollar to behold,-and
perhaps get valuable prize.
