The CoNvENTIoN.-There are times in the
history of all parties. when even friends must
be sacrificed for the success of the ticket.
The contest this Fall will be close one.
Both parties are bent upon putting their
strongest men into the field, and it will re-
quire all the prudence and caution of our
delegates, when assembled in Convention, in
order that we may present to the people can
didates who will carry US triumphantly
through the canvass. Let each township Sc
lect its strongest man for the office to which
he aspires, and then, if the Convention con-
firms their choice, we shall have popular
men so distributed throughout the county
that each one will add strength to the whole
ticket. 1t is a well understood maxim in
politics, that weak candidate endangers the
whole ticket. If a man is strong in his own
section. he adds something to the strength of
all who are running with him. Above all,
no distracting elements should be introduced
into the Convention. The Union men of
Calaveras will have all they want to do to
keep our county out of the hungry grasp of
the Democracy, and it behooves them to look
to their own interests, rather than to any
man or set of men. If the Convention goes
off harmoniously. and every section of the
county is satisfied with the success of its own
peculiar friends. we may count upon at least
three hundred majority in September.

County Judge.

We hear of no opposition to the renomi-
nation of Hon. James Barclay. for the po-
.i'ion of Judge of this county. During the
past four years Judge Barclay has held that
Office, and if legal ability. strict integrity,
and close attention to the duties of the
position are recommendations, he certainly
has all of them. Since Judge Barclay has
been on the bench. questions have arisen in
the county which have created considerable
bitterness of feeling; but so equitable and
impartial have been his decisions, .hat all
parties unite in saying that his conduc, has
been sans peur. sans reproarh. The Union
party is fortunate in having a candidate for
Judge. against whom his enemies. if he has
any. cannot utter a word of reproach.

Quartz M:ll,n

We learr that New York Company are
about to commence operations on t John
Marlette claim, near Middle Bar. The COM
pany propose to sink shaft on the lead. and
have years time to prospect the lpde. when
IL 1t proves rich enough to pay. they will
erect mill on the claim.
A lead owned by John P. S..ear. ESQ,
within half a miIe of town. will be prosp, ct.
ed during the Summer. This ledge has al
ready been worked to u considerable depth,
and the ore paid. by mill process, some eight
or ten dollars to the ton.
Wehave always urged the necessity of first
proving the val'e of lead before building a
mill on the premises. It is worse than folly
to erect machinery before it has been demon.
strated Il at there is paying quartz in the
ledge. One half the money laid out in pros
pecting that has been squandered in building
mills, would have proven the value of doz.
en- leads. Nothing dscourages mining enter
prises more than seeing mills lying idle in
quarrz district. Capitalists do not stop to
inquire what work had been done on the
ledge. but take it for granted that leads in
that neighborhood are not worth taking up.
A shaft should be sunk at least two hun
dred feet, before single stamp should be
set at work. The gr,at trouble is, that men
are too impatient to get out gold If claim
is permanent one, and will pay for work.
ing. that depth is nothing; if not. it is mon
ey thrown away to build a mill. Hayward's
claim, at Sutter, is over 1900 feet deep. and
the rock is richer than when first worked
Calaveras has as good mines as there are in
the State, but capitalists seldom venture into
new districts until miners have prospected
the lodges. At Angels. in this county, sew
eral mills are now busily employed in crush
ing quartz. and the prospects are fattering
that that camp will be one of the liveliest in
the State. With the improved machinery of
the present day. ledges that were abandoned
a few years ago. are now being worked at
profit. We are only surprised that capital
lists do not take advantage of the facilities
now offered for getting claims for little or
nothing. and prospect this rich region, where
hundreds of leads are awaiting the hardy

PARTY DIssENsIoNs IN SAcRAMENTo.-We
are sorry to see that the Union party at the
Capital is divided again. 1t seems to one
living in the mountains, that there is no ne
cessity of a division in the organization, but
some partizans are determined to either rule
or ruin. A split in the party will throw the
county into the hands of the copperheads.
When a great political organization stoops to
quarrel about who shall represent the State
in Congress, it is time for honest men to cast
about for a man whose patriotism rises supe-
rior to political intrigues. Is there not man
in California whose talents are sufficient to
place him in the United States Senate, with

help it, as to keep in the fashion they
are compelled to wear such a bunch
of hair at the back of the head that the
natural hair is drawn to the highest

is drawn back, the eyelids also get an

The great need of the times is for a

man as to woman. There shonld be no
letting down Of the virtue required of
woman, but man should be lifted to its
level. Besides this, the code of morals
prescribed for woman is not half broad
enough. Female morals, as popularity
understood, are all included in one
word-chastity. No system of practi-
cal duty as 10 the utilities of life, the
preservation of health, ETC., etc, to the
scandal of the insipid moralists, who
have been the instructors of mankind,
is taught.
That is all good, so far rs it goes ; but
the neglect of the solid duties of life
occasions more violation of the virtue
so earnestly insisted upon than all other
causes combined. The truly dutiful
