Trinity Mountain by the old Mclaughlin

To Change the Time of Holding the County
Courts.

Wepublish the following BILL introduced
BY Assemblyman Chappell, to fix the terms
ofSthe County Court and Probate Courts of
this scounty, as they were in former years.
Under general law passed last winter, the
terms of the County Court were increased to
six year and the Probate Court dependant
upon the conclusion of business in the Coun-
ty Court, and also coming on the same months
with the District Court. 1t was considered
by many an unnecessary burthen to hold six
terms of the County Court, subjecting jurors
to annoyance and inconvenience, and the tax
payers to an unnecessary outlay, and that 1t
was great inconvenience to applicants in
the PROT ate Court to wait until business was
concluded in the County Court, so request
was forwarded to our Assemblyman to intro
duce this bill:
An Act to .tsr the time Of tholding the County
Courts and Probate Courts an the County Of
Shasta.
The people of the State of California, rep
resented in Senate and Assembly, du an act
as follows:
SECTION l. The term of the County Courts
in and for the County of Shasta, shall be held
as follows: commencing on the first Monday
of January, May and September, in each
year.
Sec. 2. The terms of the Probate Courts,
in and for the county of Shasta, shall be held
as follows: commencing on the first Monday
of February, April, June, August, October,
and December, in each years.
Sec. g. All acts or parts of acts in conflict
with this act, so far as they refer to Shasta
County, are hereby repealed.
SEC. 4. This act shall be in force from
and after its passage.

Delegates to the state Convention.

On Thursday next, Oath inst. the Union
State Convention assemblies at Sacramento,
for the parpose of sending delegates to the
National Convention to be held in Baltimore
in June next.
So far as we have heard the expression of
the people in various sections of the county.
it has been an endorsement of the action OF
the County Central Committee in selecting
delegates to represent this county in the
State Convention. The choice of delegates
could not have been better distributed
throughout the county, and they will by their
votes in Convention as we'll carry out the
wishes of the Union party in this county as
if they had been chosen by Convention.
There is but one sentiment prevailing
among Union men in this county as to who
should be nominated for President, and
therefore the only question for our delegates
to determine is, who are proper persons to
represent this State in the National Conven-
ton. Let fidelity to the cause of the Union,
throughout our fearful struggle for national
existence. be the crowning qualification for
the high trust reposed in them. We have
men of commanding talent in this State, who
possess not only the will to support the Gov
ernment. but who, if elected to the National
Convention, will exert great influence with
the Administration in obtaining additional
protection for the Pacific coast against the
inroads of pirates, as well as the menaces of
European powers.
We have no particular choice of men as
delegates, but shall be content with those
who may be selected. provided they are cho-
sen for their worth and fidelity to the Union,
and firm adherence to the Administration of
Abraham Lincoln.
