PRESIDENTIAL ELEcToRs.-The names of sew
eral prominent citizens of the Third Congress
sional District are mentioned in connection with
the above position. Each Congressional Dis
trict is entitled to one Elector, with two for the
State at large-makng FIVE in all. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that none but men qualified to
make an able and thorough canvass should be
chosen. Hon. Jesse o. Goodwin, of Yuba, and
Hon. ]. Buckbee, of Plumas, are prominently
before the people Of this District for the position
As a canvasser Goodwin has no superior in the
State, and it is not improbable that the ap-
preaching State Convention may decide in his
favor

"SAMBo is dead.' Such was the motto, &C.
cording to the Sacramento Bee, on one of the
transparencies carried in the Democratic process
sion in that city the night of the llth instant.
Alongside of this transparency coffin was car
ried The Bee inquiries -" If Sambo is dead
and buried in his coffin, as was there declared,
why did all the speakers, and particularly the
learned Attorney General the brilliant 10. Ham
ilton bore his audience of Sambo, and him only ?
Why did these patriots, gathered from all the
central portion of the State, divert themselves by
dilatng on the subject?"

Ross BRowNEs REPoRr.-We have received
from the publishers, H. H. Bancroft l. Co., San
Francisco, a copy of J. Ross Brownies Report on
the Mineral Resources of the States and Terrific
ries west of the Rocky Mountains. 1t is work
of 674 pages, nearly one-half of which is devoted
to California, and is q work which every Cali
fornian should possess. Our people owe debt
of gratitude to Commissioner Browne for the
very faithful manner in whiche he has accom-
plished his work, and placed the resources o. the
Pacific coast before the gaze of the world.

PIONEER BLIND TRouPE.-This excellent COM
pany of vocal and instrumental performers fa-
vored our people with most gratifying enter
tainment on Tuesday night, and since that time
they have given exhibitions at Douglas City,
North Fork and Junction City. Tonight (Sat-
urday) the people of MinersviIle will have an
opportunity of listening to them. The troupe
consists of Messrs. Smith, Walker, Fuller and
Wood-all blind-and we can truthfully assert
that no entertainment ever offered to this public
was received with more general satisfaction.
The members are gentlemen as we'll as pleasing
artists In their line, and cannot fail to enlist the
sympathy and friendship of any community at
all appreciative and generously disposed. They
go north from here, and our best wishes attend
them.

SrIcKNEY's CIRcUs.-This excellent Company
gave exhibitions in Weavervile on Wednesday
and Thursday evenings. The canvas was crowd
ed to overfowing the first night. Sam. Stick
ney, Jr, is wide-awake jester, and his with
csms go far toward keeping an audience in good
humor. The feats of the Donovan Brothers and
Saunders were never excelled here. The Band
is one of the best that mountain people have lis
tened to for many year. The troupe has gone
North it is worthy of liberal patronage, and all
who have an opportunity to witness its perform
ances should certainly do so.

How MACHINES ARE MArLED.-Happening in at
the post Office the other night when the mail
arrived, we saw package of Harper's Magazines
which gave evidence of having been on a long
journey. The wrapper was almost gone, and the
address was made out with difficulty. The pack
age contained twenty magazines; the original
the address would have been lost entirely had not
some considerate Postmaster put new cord
around the package. We are assured by Mr.
Oberdeener, to whom the magazines belonged,
that he often receives them in the same condi-
ton, and that sometimes he loses one more,
and sometimes all. We would suggest that pub
fishers be more careful in mailing their publica-
tions, especially to distant parts of the country.

WORSE AND WoRsE.-It has been given out for
some time at the East, coming from his own
friends: that Seymour's motive Cor Withdrawing
from the Presidential contest was because be had
been advised by his physicians to do so, on ac-
count of hereditary tendency to insanity, which
they believed would develop itself under strong
excitement This assertion was made by Demo-
Gratis on the eve of the Convention, and met with
no denial. If true, it is Mr.. Seymour's misfor-
tune, not his fault but the nation cannot take
the risk Of elevating to the Presidency man

From SAVERS BAR.-A letter from an old
Trinity miner now residing there informs us that
a great deal of prosperous mining is being done
there. Whelan 1.-THE former once a mer-
chant of Big Flat, in this county,-are doing a
thriving mercantile business. A great number
of old Trinity men are there, among whom he
mentions B. J. Akeman, Frank Martin, VIM
Roberts Dick Geary and John McAuliff.

LARGE BusHEss.-Few persons are aware OF
the immense number of sewing machines sold in
the present day, and probably in no other part
of the world are so many sold in proportion to
the number of inhabitants as on this coast The
largest sales by any one agency in San Francisco
during the year ending May lst, 1868, as we
learn from the returns at the Internal Revenue
Office, are of The Florence, which amounted to
the grand total Of one hundred and twenty thou
sand dollars

TIE DEhoCRArIc LEADERS REsPoNsIBLE.-Who
but the Copperheads of the Seymour school ad-
vised the Southern politicians and people that
they could safely make war upon the Govern
ment of the Union whenever the Democratic
party should be defeated, and promised that
they of the North would give the friends of the
Union a battle to fight at home if any attempt
should be made to compel obedience to the laws
and the constitution? +? Who def. ..ded and justi-
fed every step the rebels took toward breaking
up the Government, and during the whole war
sought to paralyze the Government by opposing
every one of Its measures for the suppression of
the rebellion? But for their encouragement the
South would never have thought of destroying
the Union as remedy for being beaten in the
Presidential election of 1860. But for the prom
ises of help from the Northern leaders of the
Democratic party the South would still have
contented herself with clustering, and never
rushed to a conflict of arms. The war, begun by
the Democratic party of the South, and encour-
aged by the Seymours, the Vallandghams and
the Pendletons of the North, can justly be called
a Democratic rebellion, and all the cost in blood
and treasure, and the tremendous burdens of
taxation, are justly chargeable to the leaders of
the Democratic party. That party must be held
to its responsibility for these results.
The Sacramento Bee furnishes the following
picture of the evils which the nation has in store
in the event of the election of Seymour. 1t is
worth the perasal of every candid reader,
whether Republican or Democrat:
Wherever the Democracy is in the ascend
ancy in the South there treason is, as Wise says,
as rampant ever; and if Seymour can be
elected, these fellows, who have everything to
gain and nothing to lose by anarchy, will at
tempt to set on foot another war for the REIN
statement of slavery and the disruption of the
More taxes will be heaped upon
the people Grant and Sherman and Sheridan
will again have to take the field. Volunteers
will have to be called Cor and another war gone
through at cost of blood and treasure almost
equal to the last Then the nation would be
financially ruined, if such thing is possible.
This is their own declaration. Wise says SO,
Vance says so, and the platform of the Demo-
cratic Convention gives them authority for the
statement when it declares that reconstruction is
illegal, unconstitutional and void, and therefore
must be overturned so soon as the Democracy
get into power Will the people think of these
things and so act as to avert the terrible calam
ity Do you want more war, and consequently
more taxes, which the Seymour and Blair men
promise you, or do you want peace, which Grant
promises ?-for with him in the Presidential
chair no traitor will dare to raise hand in re-
bellion against this Government"

ROAD OPEN.-The Weaverville and Shasta Wag-
on Road is nov open from Grass Valley to the
Tower House, and ready for travel. All the old

improved, and the trip can now be made from
Williams Station to Trinity riter an hour quick

THE jails of Colusa and Mendocino counties
are both tenanless. A cotemporary suggests
as a reason for this that both counties are DEM

We shall offset that suggestion by saying that

though the authorities built new Jail for the
better accommodation of evil-doers, it has been
without an inmate for over year.

done by hand. Those wishing to purchase lum-

GRANT AND SEYMOUR CoSrRAsrED.-The Aus
tin (Nevada) Revei1e thus subscribes to the
propriety of putting Seymour up to head the op-
position to Grant, depicting the respective parts
enacted by the two men on the 4th of July,
1863 =" If the painter could correctly transfer
to canvas the scenes and acta of Horatio Sey-
mour and bis friends, and of U. S. Grant and his
friends, on the 4th of July, 1863, what contrast
would be presented to the wondering gaze of the
beholder On one side would be presented the
streets of the great metropolis of the nation,
filled with an angry, numbering mob with here
and there a sick and disabled Irish Federal SOL
dier hung up to lamp-post; and unoAending
negroes shot down on account of their color |;
priests clothed in the sacred garb of their call
ing, imploring the rioters to stop their bloody
and inhuman work, but without effect; but at
length the tall and commanding form of their
Chief Executive appears. He opens his mouth
and addresses the mob. Hear him My friends,
advise you to stop now. You have shown
your courage by hanging to lamp-posts some
sick and disabled Federal soldiers, and you have
shot down some negroes. Should you continue
much longer, General Meade might detach q
brigade of soldiers of the regular army, and they
might hurt some of you. Retire to your homes,
my friends, and all will be we'll. Remember you
have firm friend in the Chief Executive of your
State After the demonstrations of applause,
following these honeyed words has died away,
these active, demonstrative friends of the Gov
ernor slowly retire, carrying with them the ad-
miraton for the man which comes to the surface
in 1868. On the other side would be the long
line of intrenchments which fortified Vicksburg,
and the Federal army with General U. S. Grant
in command. The soldiers drawn up in line,
with battle-Aags Huttering in the breeze, and
the beseiged army of Pemberton, to the number
of twenty-si1 thousand, with dropped colors and
trailing arms, slowly, but to the tune of Yam
kee Doodle marching out and stacking arms,
and receiving their parole"

INDIAN CREEK.-Last Saturday night Grant
Club was organized at Indian Creek. R. Sicox
was chosen chairman, and James G. Corbus Sec
retary. Twenty-eight names were enrolled, and
the prospects are fatterng for large and effec-
tive organization. From present indications
Indian Creek will be the banner Union precinct
of the county in the November election. 1t oc-
cupies proud position in the political annals of
the county-one which the voting people do not
propose to ego back on" this year.
Business is fourishing and mining brisk,
there. Corbus Brothers supplying all the
merchandise required, as will be seen by their
card elsewhere. They are fair-dealing and thor
ough business men, and deserve success. Under
the ditch of Strattan l. Co., on the south bank
of the creek, number of rich-paying hill claims
have been opened this year, and there is but lit
tie doubt that there is extensive range of this
class of diggings in the Indian Greek section.
The creek claims of Stoddard, Coumbes Co.
are yielding $500 week, and bear evidence of
being worked by skillful miners. Many good
claims are being worked above town and on the
tributaries of the creek, and general prosperity
seems to be prevalent.
