OFFICE SEEKEas.-To all who aspire to
serving this county we have a suggestion to
make Be industrious in placing your claims
and merits before the people-in securing
delegates to the Union Convention who will
support you. Make your canvass so thorough
as to satisfy yourselves that if you fail in a
nomination it is simply because some one
else is preferred, and that you could not be
elected under any circumstances.
The object of Conventions is to secure to
every part of the county.a fair representation,
and distribution of that representation to
the best men. Therefore bear in mind that the
estimation you may have of yourselves may
not be such as the people have Of you. The
Union party is comparatively young, and its
purity is proportionate to its youth. 1t will
be likely to look to the merits of those who
seek nominations at the hands of its delegates
assembled in Convention. The candidate
who cannot win there would hare bad show
elsewhere Therefore make your fight before
and at the Convention. If you win prize in
the Convention all will support you and your
election is sure; if you draw blank, vince
not, but devote your energies to the success
Of the ticket. and thereby enhance your
chances Of success before the next Conven-
tion.
But wo wo, to him who, under the feel
ing Of modification sometimes consequent
upon defeat, shall bolt and give his influence
to defeat the party nominated.

The Grand jury System.

We call upon the press to discuss the ques-
ton of doing away with this system of bring
ing criminals to justice. If it has merit, let
us know it; if it has none, and is rather an
expensive nuisance, from which no good re-
suits, then let it be cleansed from the statute
books.
We cannot see why our laws cannot be SO
framed as to more simplify the manner of
trying offenders against the laws, entirely
doing away with this old relic of the Inqui
sition Why not bring a criminal at once
before Court and try him. without the ex-
pensive formula of first trying one half of his
case before secret tribunal, thus necessitat-
ing the framing by District Attorney of
what is known as an indictment-a paper
long and hard to understand, full of useless
technicalities, which may be excepted to and
set aside in case of any little informality ?
For instance, if man has committed mur
der, then must it be set up that the murder
was committed with q particular weapon and
in particular manner If in the Indictment t
the District Attorney omits any portion of
this description. the murderer is turned loose
upon the community to enact a similar trag
edy 1t is not enough that man has MUIR
dered his fellow man to constitute legal
cause of action but it must be shown what
he done it with, and how long he was en-
gagged in the murderous act aa
Let the laws be so framed that criminal
may be convicted on common sense priuci.

GREEyBAcKs-The evils of a currency that
is fluctuating g in its value are now being made
palpable in the large commercial cities OF the
East. There greenbacks are the currency
and gold the article of merchandise. Here
gold is the currency and greenbacks the
merchandise. Now let us see whether those
who would make greenbacks the currency
here are right or those who opposed the
change As gold has become depressed In
the market there, merchants are marking
down their goods to the standard that green
backs bear to gold and every days quotations
of staple articles of merchandise follows the
rise or fall Of gold. making thereby, broker
of every merchant, butcher and farmer in the
land, compelling all to neglect their legiti-
mate business to watch the rise and fall OF
gold in Wall street. Servants, hackmen,
draymen,-all participate in the game,as all
are directly interested. They work for green
backs, but they must regulate their demands
for labor by the value of greenbacks in gold
All business is consequently unsettled and
uncertain. No man knows for an hour
whether he is selling or buying at profit OF
a loss, and such must continue to be the case
until our Government brings its business to a
gold basis, or the business men of the East
adopt the policy of buying and selling, and
doing all other business, for gold, and using
greenbacks as we do here, at their market
value. The laws of trade will soon compel
this course, and then greenbacks will find
their way into Government bonds and the
nation will be enabled to do its business in
gold and silver or on that basis. Then pan
les will cease. spectators will diminish in
number, society will feel itself on safe ground
once more and will sleep better if it is not
quite so rich.

GRAVEYARD HILL.-There are now some
FIVE companies engaged in running tunnels
into this hill. two of which have struck blue
qrarel. Lawler & Co. are in seventy feet,
and are now, and have been for some time,
running on pay dirt. A company formed at
Middletown are sinking shaft on the
Jackass Flat divide, prospecting to find the
blue gravel short distance from the locality
of its first discovery, it being the theory of
many miners that it is lead running
through the length of the whole country from
the Southern to the Northern mines. AT
present this company is sinking through a
strata of some peculiar substance that is
without grit and as blue as indigo.

WORKING OREs.-A new process for
working gold and silver ores has been pat
ented by the ''United States Disintegrating

cess ore works 95 per cent. Of its assay. and
the cost of apparatus is two-thirds less than

A Word to the Wise, sc.

The signs manifest among our people show
that the thirst for Office is binding them,-
hiding their patriotic light under a bushel-
that few have listened to the syren tongues
of disorganzing Copperheads, and become as
of them, by playing into their hands to
weaken the Union party.
The time has not come when Union men
can take steps to break up that party, and
still maintain their status as patriotic, un-
selfish Unionists, before the peorle. When
the Union party was organized, il was done
for the purpose of uniting and harmonizing
the Union element of the county and of the
State and of the United States. The county
element is 4 necessary part OF the whole, and
he or they who would, for the sake of some
paltry Office, knowingly take one step that
could tend towards weakening it, deserves
to and most assuredly will fall under the ban
that awaits upon Copperheads and other dis
oyal..elements in our political composition.
Has our patriotism sunk so low that for the
prospect of county Office we would place it
in the power of the opposition to say that
disunion has grown MP in our party,-that
pLAcE-and such pace--had power to charm
the mind of even one Of its members from the
great patriotic aim in view when the party
was inaugurated? If there be any such, to
them we would say that majority of the
voters of this county retain the old sentiment
that actaated them, as one man, to sin. old
party names and prejudices. and come for
ward in one solid column to the support of
our Government, under the name of Union. "
That holy word has been their watchword
since, and that sentiment still predominates
in the hearts of all worthy of the name of
men, and of being members of tho Union
party.
No move could be more suicidal than that
of claiming political position because of hav-
ing formerly been Republican or Douglas
Democrat, or for any reason that does not
apply directly to the loyalty and other quail
ifications of the aspirant. Factious men are
often misled as to their popularity from hav-
ing been fortunate or popular inside OF a
majority organization, to such an extent as
to fully entertain the idea that it is themselves
who command the votes, instead of the party
drill and party principles. Such men, when
they conceive they have been neglected by
the party. start out as Independent candidates
for the sufrages of the people, and once in a
great while, under favorable circumstances
such as when the regular nominee was pecu
larly obnoxious to the people-hare sncceed
ed; but only once. The heat of the battle
over, the bolter sinks into insignificance. His
lights generally put out on the first trial.
The example set us in San Francisco and
Sacramento of running a Peoples or inde-
pendent tickct-no matter by what name
known-may be traced directly to Copper
head pipe laying. The result is demorallz-
ing and hurtful to The one great cause for
which all good men now live, work and
think. Let us not repeat what is so repro
hensible.

the fact that Schoch's Express brought the
