Democratic Committee of Placer County.
Democratic Convention at Baltimore.

that day. On the 10th, the resolution Of
Mr.. Thomas, of N. T., wns adopted, as fol-
lows:
Resolved, That the credentials of all persons
claiming scnts in this convention, made vacant
by the secession of delegates at Charleston, be
referred to the COMMITTEES on credentials, which
is hereby instructed to examine the same ss soon
as practicable and report the names Of the per-
Sons entitled to such seats.
The special dispatch to the Missouri Re-
publican, dated four o'clock, on the goth, is
as follows: 'SThe committee on credentials
will report. The majority will propose to
admit the Mississippi seceders, who seem to
have been duly accredited by their State
since the Charleston emeute. Reject Flori-
da and Texas where no action of the people
has been had and give seats to the new del
egations from Louisiana and Alabama, to-
gether with half of each delegation from
Georgia and Arkansas. b. +. Ilallett, of
Massachusetts will be unseated it being
shown that he gave Mr.. Chatfee power of
attorney to act for him, which is still valid"
Owing to personal difficulties before the
committee on credentials it is thought there
will be a duel, as the result
We have no news of proceedings of the
Convention on the 2lst, the day, we pre-
sumo, the committee on credentials reported.
The Union says, that on the 22nd, the
Convention, by a vote Of 100 to l5O reject
ed the minority report of the committee on
credentials, giving seats to the seeding dele
gates.
The Convention then took action on the
majority report which recommends the ad-
mission of the old delegates from Mississippi,
Texas, and Delaware, and the Douglass del
egates from Louisiana and Alabama, and d.
vides Georgia and Arkansas.
The report relative to Mississippi was
alop'ed nearly unanimously.
Relative to louisiana the vote was ayes
1853, noes 0S The majority recommends
,ion relative to Georgia was lost.
A motion was made to reconsider the vote
rejecting the minority report.
A motion to lay The question Of reconsid-
Grafton OF the table was lost, New York vo-
ting no. Tie Convention, amid the conster-
nation of the Douglass men, then adjourn
cd until evening.
The Union also publishes dispatch from
Sg 81 the 42 22nd tie lie c5nvention bfSke tas aas
in more extensive bolt than at Charleston.
We think this information will prove true
If the New York delegation voted for the
admission of the seeding delegates at Char
lesion, then the Douglas men have with
drawn from :hc Convention--s was their
intention. 1t was so declared by Senator
Pugh to Mr.. Barry, of Miss, on the 10th,
the second day after the Convention conven
ed. However, the next mail will throw more
light upon the subject.
CoNGREssIoNAL.-June 18th, in The house
Winslow made report from the minority
of the Covode Committee, declaring that the
object of that Committee was not TO ascer
tain tie truth, but mere trick to obtain
evidence to be used for partisan purposes.
The House has receded from its amend
ments to the Homestead law, with but few
exceptions, which have been concurred in by
the Senate
RAIN.--On Tuesday night we were visited
by storm of rain, which continued all Of
Wednesday. 1t was accompanied by heavy
peas of thunder and vivid flashes Of light
ming. Considerable rain has fallen, and
many predict that it will lie a serious detr-
ment to the country. The hot sun lnateri-
ally injurng the feed for cattle.
Although it is unusual to have rain in this
section of the country in July, yet in some
portions we have known it to rain almost
every month in the year. While We were
mining on the klamath river in 1851, we
don't think it missed raining n month there
during the summer Of that year.
The MARSH Troupe performed here on
Wednesday and Thursday evenings last to
very good houses. Master George Marsh
and Little Jenny seem to be the life of the
company. Oar notion is that to see the
Marsh Troupe for an evening to kill time is
well enough, but as for their acting "there
is nothing in it,"
SCHOOL TEACHERs.--1he examination of
School Teachers, for the ensuing year, will
take place at the School Room in Auburn,
to-day. We have not learned the names of
all the Board of Examiners. No spectators
