THE PROPER CoURsE.-The proceedings of the
democratic Central Committee will be found in
another column. Upon taking vote in c,,n.
mittee as to choice for President, it sto,,d for
Breckenridge and for Douglas. Nrtwitbs,and
ing the majority was for Breckir ridge their fair
and liberal action toward the minority roust com.
mend itself to the entire Democracy of the coun-
~. Two Convention, are called to nominate del.
egates TO State Ccnventions, and to nominate an
Assemblyman Tor this county In regard 10 the
latter nomi laton, we think their is slim grounds
for division. If there is any honorable way to
compromise the difficulty, and unite on good
Conservative man, one who will pledge himself
TO carry out The wishes Of our people in the APP
preaching Senatorial contest, it should lie done
in justice to the people and the great interest of
the State
We believe the'peope of Trinity are opposed
10 the election of Weller, or the reelection of
Gwin. The first distinguished himself for being
mn indoient ard inefficient Senator, whose action
and influence procured nothing beneficial to Cal
ifoTnia- The latter, although one Of the ablest
men in the Senate, we believe him to be one Of
She most INSCRIPTIONS, and in fact do not know
that any party organization is desirous of return
Jag him to the Senate.
1t will be an easy natter for the county con-
rentions if they thiak proper, to appoint their
Central Committees, and by a convention Of such
q constituted body, take up man who will unite
the Democracy Of the county. There are plenty
of men in either party who would be acceptable.
There can be 40 doubt that the people Of Trim
ity county are in favor Of some man in pref
erence to either of those before mentioned, and
they will be likely to exact positive pledge
from the person they support for Representative,
If Denver, McDougal or any other new man has
the most positive strength, our Representative
should pledge his honor before his constituents
TO support him. We trust it will be the aim Of
all Eartes to put their best men in the arena.

FrNNY.-The President, in late speech. gave
his opinion that as neither of the Baltimore nom,
nees received the necessary two-third vote,
Democrats are privileged to vote for whichever
they see FL, There is host of Democrats who
think with the President, on that point, but wh o
wonder why q citizen holding office under the
administration should be decapitated because he
decares himself in favor of Douglas. Such in
stances have already occurred in California,
while in The more immediate vicinity Of the White
House they are becoming friehfully frequent of
late. II the President honestly believes the doc
trne be breaches, he should be more generous to
his subjects

AN HoN2RABLE GENTLEMAN IN A PECULIARLY
PERPLExING PREDICAMENT.-It will be remember
ed that D. w. Perley, San Francisco lawyer,
was the man who denounced and challenged the
late Senator Broderick, because of some remark
made by the latter at the Metropolitan hotel
table, in that city, and because he felt that his
friend Terry's honor had been impeached. We
hope Terry will not show the cold shoulder now,
for it is positively asserted that his friend Perley
is in ga tight place" 1t is related that the wife
of a gentleman named Fall (she late Of Cincin-
net) and Pcrley were suspected Of criminal init
macy by her husband; that they were watched,
and traced to an assignation house on Stockton
street, into which the injured husband rushed
with cooked Derringer pistol and ont Of which
Per.ey ran in his sleeping garment; was chased
through several streets by some aborers, for a
crazy man, finally reached livery stable, wrap
ped himself up in his honor and buffalo robe,
aud took cab for San Mateo. or some other
point, from which it is believed he will never
return. The husband of the criminal female
captured 5000 of Terry's coin, his pistols and
bowie-knves, and now sues for damage, which he
places at $4,000.

A VALUED PREsENT.-Mr. c. Gros, OF the
Browns Greek house. has sold out to Mr.. James
Cochran, and with his estimabe lady, intends to
leave soon for his native land. The good old
gentleman presented us the other day with a
kcepsoke-a cane which long years ago he
brought from France. 1t will be carefully kept,
and whether or not occasion ever requires its
use, we shall remember it as token from one
who in a foreign land was never other than kind
ly thought of by all. We are glad that the old
man and bis wife are going home. The true
Frenchman, when death conquers age, never
goes 20 his last rest so happily as when his grave
is made amongst the sunny hills Of his native
land.
