THEIR NoMINEEs.-Th ANAL gamaled Democra
cy OF this county met at the Court House on
Thursday and nominated county ticket which
they profess TO believe can he elected. Judging
from the signs of the times ii is doomed to GER
tain defeat. Men were placed in nomination
whose names seem TERRIBLY out of place Oh
ticket headed by such men us John G. Downey,
who although Governor of California when the
rebellion commenced, was for long time unde-
cded as to whether he should be secessonist or
Union man, but finally compromised by profess
ing to be a Union man Deriah Brown who not
content with battling the Administration, has
abused, directly or Indirectly, every gallant Of
q dcer and soldier fighting ia defence of The Gov
ernment, and Tod Robinson as vile traitor as
walks Southern soil-the mau who encouraged
aud sent his own son to fight against the Govern
ment whose protection he enjoys, and who posi-
lively refuses, though resident of loyal Cali
fornia, to take an oath of allegiance to the Gov
ernment. And the balance of the ticket is made
nm of kindred spirits every one of whom might
with more grace hc Sighting in Davis army than
asking the people Of California for ther sufrnges
at the ballot box, aud who. as sure ~ elected.
will bring upon us the hot'lnic scenes Whch were
enacted in Missouri and Tennessee, @nlcr the
reign and counicnancc "f secession State authori
ties We predict that some of the nominees on
the county ticket in Qnestiun will have just cause
of regret for their folly after the election is over,
and curse the day that they allowed tlcir names
TO he associated on a ticket with known aud
ockuotr[edged traitors. The nominees OF the
badly matched up party are Assembly, Fordyce
Rates Tax Collector, NJ +. GiilHh Clerk. a.
N Krutisehnitt Sheriff, VIM \. Qnne County
Judge, +. b. Simmonds; Treasurer, John Mnsser;
Assessor, G. +. Micrs; District Attorney, Ii.
Nichols Superintendent of Schools. Charles
Sloan Administrator and Coroner il. W. Lud
wiz That's the ticket. Now we ak any Doug
las Democratic of old it some OF the nominees
hav'nt lost their reckoning?
Rlcu GoI.p DIsCovERY on TRINTY.-W1 are
pleased o learn that new aud rich diggngs have
been recently discovered on the south side of
Triujty, near Cox's Bar. which promise to b. of
ar.at extent Considerable prospecting has been
done, and the miners are confident of Il good aud
4 lasting thing. We have been told frequently
with the last year or two that lower Trinity had
gone in that there was nothing to stay there
longer for. We have never believed it, but on
the contrary are Gfm in the opinion that hund
reds of acres of rich bar, bench aud hill diggings
are vet unprosprctcd. The last two years that
huming operations were carried on the c"mpa-
MES so employed were unsuccrsSlul, maluly from
"a rises caused by early fall rains tullnwlhE Close
in the path of these mishups came the destrnc-
q tive flood of '6I-'62, carrying away wheels,
Aumra and other improvements whlch very mat
urally disheartcned the aborrrS aud many ielt.
Lower Truty will revive aud be prosperous
again II little more bone and muscle aud IL small
amount OF capital is all that is needed
TEMpERANoE ANNGvEWsAHY.-As will be seen
by the announcement in another column, Wca
yervlle Division, Sons of Temperance, will eel
ebrate the first anniversary of its organization at
the Theatcr, OH Monday evening next Es6ert
+. Allen, Esq., one of the Brotherhood, will de-
liver an address, at the close OF which dancing
will commence. The price OF admission has
been placed ut the reasonable sum ut % on, an
amount within the reach oi all aud We hope TO
seo the Thrater crowded. Tee room usually Oc
cupied as a bar will be nicely fitted up for the
accommodation of ladies. Lunch at ~ O'Clock
CopPEa-The people OF Trinity Center are
sanguine that rich copper mines will soon be de
welcomed in that section. The late discoveries are
attracting the attention of capitalists aud men of
experience in quartz mining. Mr.. Pryor, an old
Australian copper miner, is prospecting one ol
the lately discovered deposits with HattcrlhB re-
suits We are Informed that another lead has
been discovered on Snow Gulcb, Tour or nve
miles above town Oh the east side of the river
Trinity county il full of quartz ledges and We
shall be surprised il some oi them are not oelhs s
proftably worked within six months from this
date.
FINE WoRK.-The new 1Ime taking water from
Cahop creek to the bars along the cast side o the
river, opposite Raab's store will be in operation
in q week or two II is one of the best construct
ed fumes in the county, and nearly mile IN
length. John Jackson and Giveen Co. are the
owners. When the hume and ditch is completed
one hundred more men than are now there may
find profitable employment in the bars and banks
along its course. Miners out OF employment are
recommended to take look in thai direction.
FRoM North aud East Forks of Trinity we hear
that the last mining season has been very sue.
cessful QUE In IA year or two more that section
OF the county will contain double its present
population There is large extent of good pla-
Ger diggings yet unworked, and of late we have
heard il whispered that rich gold bearing quartz
has been discovered less than II hundred miles
from there. Nickel x Co. are doing very pros
porous mercantile aud Brewery business.
CoMlNa-Rev Geo. Bramal one of the lee
iprers sent out by the Grand Division, S OF T.,
writes us from Yreka that it is his intention 10
visit all the Divisions in Trinity county during
the month of August. He will officially notify
each Division OF the time OF his coming as soon
az his arrangements are completed. II will be
AIR. Bramalls first visit to Trinity, aud we have
no doubt he will meet with warm reception
from the Brotherhood here.
