THE PLACER HERALD.
AUBURN, JUNE II, 1865.
County Politics.


The Central COMMITTEES of the Union par
ty of this county, have advertised their prl'
mary elections for next Saturday, and their
county nominating Convention for Tuesday,
9Th inst. We observe, by looking at the
call, tba, the old system Of representation
has been adhered to, and no change made
in The party machinery, notwithstanding
the numerous editorial disquisitions Of the
"organ," some time back, fsvoring radical
change in the mode Of representation. Inn
provemeuts are not atlempted-the proxy
system is rel aimed in it's worst features; for it
permits of proxies being held by individuals
without the necessity of their being citizens
of the precini, township, or even the county.
Although the committee have excluded, and
properly too, we think. any persons from
parlicipa,ingin their primaries, who did not
vote for their Presidentisi candidates last
fall, there is nothing to prevent members of
an opposite political party from being elected
as delegates to the Convention, or obtaining
proxies and taking part in the nominations
to be made.
Perhaps the COMMITTEES thought Of these
things and perhaps they did not. 1t there is
truth in a very curious rumor that has been
in circulation for some days, it may not have
been au oversight after ALL The murmurs
of discomfort that threatened in advance TO
disturb the harmony Of the committee meet
ing, were sienced to s!umber when that au
gust body met. The contention as 10 whelh,
er the Convention should be called in July
or August was compromised upon day just
at hand-lhe 27,h of June. Outsiders, both
of he Long and Short Hair persuasion were
surprised at this, but their surprise has 6 ver
place to as,oundment at a later rbmor, tha
grand bargain has taken place, by whc'
sefassumed leaders Of the Long and Short
have agreed upon a ticket TO be carried
through the Convention, which gives th
legislative ticket to Low, and parcels th
paying offices between Long and Shorts
Some of the present county officials, and nu
merous other aspiran's are incontinentl,
dropped, and new ring formed of men wbe
three short weeks ago were loud in proclaim
ing their hostility to each other.
We say this is rumor but it is subject
that is being very freely talked upon the
streets, and among members Of the Union
party has called out much indignant com
ment. We have been disinclined 20 cred
that any set Of men would attempt thu
wholesale selling out Of party as is repre-
sented in this instance, but there are eviden
ces that 60 SO strongly toward the proof
that it is difficult longer to doubt. The
ticket is even named-and it is the stranges
iuxlaposition of names that could well bt
imagined-but combining the names Of mer
who have achieved we'll earned reputation
as political traders and ppe'layers
Whether the new programme will be sue
eessful in Convention, few days more viii
decide. But that both Long and Shorts
who have been left out in the cold, will
make desperate effort to break into frag
ments the new slate, is certain.

NEW JERSEY SHOCKED.
Notwithstanding the fact that New Jersey never owned
the Hook she squirmed and houndercd as though fish

this State had assumed propetorship Of it. II then

John Anthony to put quetus to that idea and he did

more than few sentences.
BY act Of the Legislature Of 1870 New Jersey coded
to the United States all the interest she ever had in
Sandy Hook.
In 1916 another ceded the same property 10 the
