TERRITORIAL CoNvENTIONS.-Ihe Democ-
racy of Nez Perez county, have elected dele
gates TO the Territorial Convention to be held
at Packer Johns Ranch" on the 18th Of
July, while those of Boise were chosen to
meet at Boise city on the 4th. The Union
party of Nez Perez, as we'll as Boise, Owy-
nee and Alturas, have designated the 9th of
July at "Packer John's," as the time and
place of holding their convention, though we
hear there will be an effort made to change
the place to some point in this Basin in con
sequence of the session of the Dist. Court
being held at the same time, making it in
convenient for attorneys and officials to be
away from their posts. The same objection
will hold good with the attorneys Of the
Democratic party, and as this county sends
some "a delegates to each convention, and
Nez Perez from three to five, and as the
of Owyhee and Alturas on the south
of us will send twice as many as those on
the north, it does seem to be justice to the
greatest number to hold the conventions IN
the Basin. -
