the Union men of Placer county, but have
ignored their right TO participate 10 the sci
lection of the State and County officers; and
Whereas, ln our judgment the time has
come when all true and loyal men to the

TIE PLACER HERALD.
AUBURN. JULY l, 1865.
Abolition County Convention.

This body met here on Tuesday last and
nom mated the following ticket For Sena
tor. E. L. Bradley, of Dutch Flat; Assembly
John Bosquit, of Virginia; William Sexton,
of Auburn; and John Yule, of Michigan
Bluff; Sheriff, A. W. Poole Michigan Bluff;
Recorder, Walter r. Lyon, Iowa Hill; Pros
ecuting Attorney, E. L. Craig Auburn; 'rrea
surer j. w. Dickerson, Todd's Valley; Coun-
ty Surveyor, h. W. Raymond, Dutch Flat;
Superin endent Of Common Schools, S. h
Case, Michigan Bluff, Public Administrator,
John Russell, Auburn; Coroner, Thos Jami'
son.
Our readers will perceive by the above
nominations that the "Boggs and SeIkirk
slate" that has been talked Of all over the
county for the last ten days, was pretty well
smashed,
Not only are the Short Hairs sore headed
at iLe result, but we have bad the pleasure
of hearing several Long Hairs curse worse
than "our army in Flanders" The wrath of
Longs and Shorts, in fact, is tremendous
Every body is dissatisfied excepttLe nominees
and few of their friends, and they are
trembling in their boots
The Short Hairs became so disguised with
the packing arrangement" that they had
little to do with the convention. As we are
informed, quite number of delegates, and
other gentlemen, who are friends of Senator
Conness, and who favor Gov Low for L. S.
Senator. met at Judge Poiand's office the
same evening and issued call for a "leo-
pies Union Convention" to meet in Auburn
on the llh day of this month.
From the expressions we hear dropped,
we think the Short Hairs intend to make it
hot fer The Long Hairs. They charge that
the ticket nominated is in favor of "niegers
voting" which is disgusting to the Short
Hairs, and who swear that mo decent white
man will ever submit TO such an impositon."
Well, well, the earth always did revolve,
ard with lis present evoIutions we are now
prepared TO some wonderful changes
In the meanwhile Democrats will look on,
and wonder if MiIler's prediction of the COM
ing of the end Of The word is about TO be
verified. However, let what may happen
they still hold to the doctrine of States
Rights, and believe that a negro is not quite
the equal ofa white man.
The ball has opened rich, and every body
may as well prepare to enjoy the fun in the
coming campaign.

The FsuIr CRoP OF PLACER.-The grape
crop of Placer county this year will exceed
that of any former season. We hear favor
able accounts from grape growers, who say
their vines, as general thing, were never so
full of fruit. This is encouraging. and will
cause a decided increase in the wine manu-
facture of the county-which has grown to
be no nconsiderable item of our domestic
industry
In other fruits the county will not be able
to make so good showing. Peaches are
failure compared with previous years, ALI
though the few left by the frost, promise to
be of remarkable size. Aprcots, pums.
pears and ounces will also be short crops
OfappIes there will be fair CROP although
many Of the early varieties were nippel by
the frost. The trees do not show The abun-
dance of former seasons, but as general
thing we think there is sufficient showing
of the fruit to make sure Of a good supply.
as well AS size and flavor.

The n Y. Times says Of the Democratic

ne ~ J.. LtHeS says OF lue democratic
party:
The if. and strength Of the old Demo.
cratic party was its national spirit From
its earliest history this never failed to assert
itself clearly, fervently, we may say, indeed,
tiercely. on every question involving the pre-,
serva'ion, or the enlargement, or the honor
and glory of the country. In our great con.
troversles with England with Mexico, it was
peculiarly The war party. 10 every minor
dispute with other nations, it was ALWAYS the
party most apt to plant itself on high pre-,
tensions and extreme claims. Ia our do,
mestic affairs, it the party that always
labored most earnestly to put down section
Al disoord and to strengthen the bonds of the
Union"
These are frank admissions, and if the Re-
publican press generally viii emulate the
spirit shown by the IimtS, and, we NAV add
by The Troreiler in this city, we can really
begin to- think, as we fervently hope, that
the era Of good feeling has bsgnn.

FRIDAY EVENING. Oct. 81.

FRIDAY EVENING, Oct. 81, 1865.
The local money market continues close
for currency, and we note no essential change
in any particular. The demand for discounts
is active, but the policy of contraction to
which the banks are committed excludes
a large portion of the paper offering, and
none but those whose necessities cannot be
well postponed are favored. A liberal pro-
portion of the present demand for currency
comes from interior operators in produce
Eastern exchange is very close, with a good
demand, and rates are firm at par buying
and premium selling.
The New York Tribune SAYS: "There is
an uneasy feeling in regard to the future of
the money market, and long engagements
ars avoided by lenders. The reduction of
the currency through the funding system
has alarmed spectators in all directions,
and it needs nothing but persistent action
in this form to place the Government in a
position to recume specie payments. Mer-
chants are ready borrowers at Bank, and
the best managed institutions have quite as
much as they can do to provide their dealers
with money. Few names pass at the dis
count houses at Z per cent. Strong names
can be had at s@9, and good at IO@12 per
cent"
Gold rules pretty steady, the market to-
day closing at I454. The customs demand
at present is running very light, and the ex-
port is small, both being moee than covered
by the disbursements on account of 500 in
terest, The supply is consequently easy.
Our general markets to-day exhibited no
change. Business generally continues very
quiet. The demand for Flour is confined to
wants, but prices are without change.
Wheat continues dull and heavy, and the
few transactions making are hardly sufi-
to establish prices. We heard of no
transactions to-day, and are only able to
give nominal quotations. Corn is in good
and steadier. Oats are quiet, but
frmer. We note no change in provisions or
produce. H~ighwines are firm at the quota
ton. Petroleum is steady, but dull.
The receipts and shipments at this point
Of Produce and Merchandise, during the
twenty-fOur hours ending at Z o'clock this
morning, were as follows:
