County Convcntion--The Ticket.


We give in our columns to-day the official
proceedings of the Democratic County Conven-
ton, held In this Place on Saturday. The Con-
vention, notwithstanding the short notice, was
one of the fullest over held in the county-all
but two precincts being represented. The pro-
ceedings of the Convention were entirely har-
monious, and from the assurances of the dele
gates from the different precincts, we caunot
doubt that the voters of Nevada county will
roll up an unprecedented majority for Douglas
and johnson on the 9th of November next.
The name OF Douglas is a tower Of strength
among the masses, and his friends 10 every part
OF the county are enthusiastic In his support.
The ticket presented by the Convention is
worthy Of, and we trust will receive, the sup
port Of every Democrat in the county. A is
always the case with party having the pres
tige Of success, there we're numerous aspirants
for the nominations, and of course many were
disappointed; but Ms far as we have heard the
unsuccessful aspirants have taken their defeat
in good part, and will heartily support the
the whole ticket. The nominees are old resi-
dents OF Nevada county, the most Of them are
practical miners, and their interests are idenli.
fed with the community in which they live.
We entertain no doubt that the entire county
ticket will be sustained by the Democratic vo-
tiers of the county.

FoRTUNATE EscAPE.-A young lad named Or
vile Beaman about thirteen years Of age, accden-
tally fell into shaft learn from the National
near Grass Valley, on Monday, August 29th. The
shaft was about sixty feet deep, but luckily there
three or four feet of water at the bottom, and
he not injured by the fall. He called loudly for
help, but none being at hand, he made his way out
by digging holes into the opposite sides Of the shaft
into which he placed his feet and thus step by STEP
assembled to the surface. He was obliged to dig the
holes with his fingers, the ends Of which were COM
pletely scorifed, and one of his thumb nails was
nearly ruined. The little fellow must have had a
brave heart, and degree Of determination much
beyond his years. to have thus worked his way from
the bottom of the shaft.

QUARTZ MINING IN WAsnoE.-Wo have re-
,ceived hurried note from Mr.. A. B. Paul, SUI
perintendent of the Wasboe Gold and Silver
Mining Co., which has recently erected mill
for quartz crushing at Silver City. Hcinforms
us that the mill was started August 18th; they
are now running three batteries, and will have
another up in few days; water is scarce and
they work by the dry process. The company
intend to erect another mill at Gold Hill, Of
eight batteries, to bo driven by two engines
the batteries by one, the amalgamators by the
other--to cost in all about $4,000. Practical
tests have proved that quartz crushing will
pay. Three other mills are now running, and
several more are in contemplation. Many per-
manent settlers are coming in, including quite
. number OF families. Silver City, Gold Hill,
and Virginia are rapidly improving

RoBBERY.-Tbe banking house Of Marks 4
Co., at Orleans Flat, was robbed Of about So
600 In coin, on Friday, by one Richard Curtis,
an employee in the house. II appears that MFR.
Marks started for San Juan on Thursday even
ing, leaving Curtis in charge of the house. He
returned on Friday evening, and Curtis was
not to be found, and 1t was sooon ascertaned
that he had carried off about $4,000 in money.
There was some fifteen or twenty thousand
dollars in the safe, in coin and dust, oil Of
which he might have taken had he been so dis
posed. Curtis had been in the employ Of Marks
Il Co. for some years, and enjoyed their conf
dence to the fullest extent. He was seen at
Orleans Flat about noon on Friday, and must
have left only few hours before the return Of
Mr.. Marks 1t is conjectured that he went to
Washoe.

JuDeE STIDogR.-We are gratifed to learn that
Judge Stidger is rapidly recovering from his
injuries, and that he is regarded out of dan
ger. The San Juan Press says: a s.. ....-,-.
The symptoms in Judge Stidger's case grow more
favorable as the knitting process Of the fractured
bones advances. The wound which troubled him
most and to which public alluson has heretofore
been made was in the lower ribs Of the left side,
three of which were torn loose from their connec-
ton with the vertebral column. Pain from this
quarter has entirely subsidized, and the Judge grows
more cheerful under the excellent treatment Of his
physicians (McDaniel, of Marysyille, and Simpson,
of Timbuctoo,) every day. m

THE OLDEST ISnABITANT.--Th census taker
has discovered man who has reached the ex-
traordinary age of one hundred and thrty-fivc
years. His name is Solomon Pangborn, and
resides at Rising Sun. Indiana. He is without
doubt the oldest inhabitant in the United States,
and perhaps the Oldest person now living in the
world. He was born in New York city in 1925,
and was fifty years old at the beginning OF the

Lerl.lntlre Apportlonment.

The duty will devolvo upon the next Legis-
Iature Of apportioning the State for Senators
and Assemblymen, under The census which has
just been completed. The members of The Leg
islature are now apportioned under the State
census Of 1852, and great changes have taken
place in the population Of the different sections
Of the State since that time. The population of
the agricultural counties has increased consid-
erably, while the mining counties remain about
the same as 10 1852. The result will be that
the mining districts will lose portion Of their
representation, while there will be cores
pondng increase in the representation of the
agricultural sections Of the State.
BY the State constitution, the Assemblymen
cannot exceed eighty; and the Senators cannot
be less than one-third, nor more than one-half,
the number of Assemblymen. The population
Of the State will not be far from 400, 900; and
in case the largest number allowed by the Con-
sttution Is adopted as the basis Of apportion-
ment, El Dorado will loose four Assemblymen
and two Senator's; Placer will lose one, and
Nevada two Asseinblymen, and the two coun-
ties will lose Senator. The counties of Sierra,
Plumas and Butte will probably retain their
present representation. Other mining counties
will lose representatives, and scarcely one will
gain. After next winter the agricultural coun-
ties will have majority in both branches of the
Legislature; but the mining counties have
majority Of the voters, and will still retain
preponderance in the election of State officers.
