REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION AND ITS NoMI-
NEEs.-The Convention met last Saturday and
did its work in an expeditions and orderly man
ner. The proceedings will be found elsewhere.
The nominations, with one or two exceptions,
give entire satisfaction, and will receive the un-
qualified support of the party, and at least one
of the candidates, Jno A. Watson, the nominee
for Sheriff, will lead bis ticket in the county. Mr..
Fox his only opponent, was defeated in conven-
tion by only one vote. This, we conceive to be
a very fattering compliment to that gentleman,
it is the first time during eight years. resi-
dence in the county, that he has been before the
people for Office, in any way. There are three
very popular men announced for the Sherffalty,
but if the signs of the times are anything near
correct, Jno A. Watson will be next Sheriff of
Trinity.
Hon. Ed J. Curtis, present County Judge, re-
ceived the nomination for that position at the
hands of the Convention, by acclamation. Eve
rybody in the county knows Ned, (all of whom
will not vote for him, however, he too having
strong opponent to. battle with in the canvass.
We think the race between Bob. Stuart and
Curtis will be a close one. Either elected, the
office will be filled by worthy and capable man.
Our old frend, B. F. Flynn, ('Jacinto,') was
nominated for County Clerk, at which we think
he was somewhat surprised himself. If Mr.. Flynn
is chosen Clerk in the election the people will
never have cause TO regret their choice. But he
must remember that he has the strongest man,
and one Of the best in the Democratic party to
beat, and that it is necessary to 90 into the fight
with a will. "Jacinto" has taking way with
him. aud will catch many vote where it is least
expected
On the success of these three leading candi-
dates depends the success of the ticket. The
names of the other nominees will be noticed in
the proceedings

So shasta Courier" A. G. Lawrence, and
the 50 Trinity JOurnni.n

In the Shasta Courier Of last Saturday appeared
the most unjust and unwarrented article it has
been our misfortune to find in cotemporary
journal having any pretension to decency and
fair dealing. The object and aim of the uncall-
ed-for production seems to have been to vilify
and degrade, in particular, in the estimation OF
the citizens of Shasta and Trinity counties, our
townsman, Hon. A. c. Lawrence.
We have no defense to make for Mr.. Lawrence.
Eight years residence in the two counties, his
known consistent course as Democrat, and his
honorable record as legislator, added to the
often expressed admiration in the columns of the
Courier, and the friendship so frequently mani
tested in bis behalf by the amented Gen. Dosh,
are in themselves a complete and unanswerable
refutation of the uncaled-for and vindictive at
tack upon his personal character and abilities.
There is one assertion, however, that we desire
to notice. The writer uses this language " His
organ, the TRINITY JOURNAL" etc. Now we
would have this dealer in libel, defamation of
character and bllingsgate, and everybody else,
understand that the TRINITY JOURNAL is not the
"organ' of Mr.. Lawrence or any other individ-
ual, but the sole organ of our own peculiar
views, for which we alone are responsible We
have ever tried 70 make the JOURNAL an indepen-
dent and truthful newspaper in politics, as we'll
as on all other subjects.
II this fellow had stopped to read the JOURNAL
of last week, he must have discovered that we
were strictly impartial in remarkiug upon the
Senatorial imbroglio. In fact, we never took
sides on the subject until the unwarrantable ac-
ton of the Shasta Convention was made public
That action now even DR.. Shurtliff disapproves
of, as well as the people of his county, aud we
have reason to believe that the author of the
contemplate article is the same person who in
troduced the offensive resolution in the Shasta
county convention. Mr.. Lawrence has nothing
whatever to do with this paper and we will dc
him the justice to say that he has never, in sin
gle instance, attempted to control our personal
views on any subject.
We are informed that A. Skillman, Esq, editor
and proprietor of the Courier, was at Sacramento,
attending the State Convention, which we pre-
sumo accounts for the appearance of the undig-
nified article alluded to, in the columns OF that
usually honorable and courteous sheet
