PROCLAMATION AR Cosr FOR CASH The
reader cannot fail to notice the announcement
which the old-estabished firm of Tinnin K Owens
make to-day. In order to close up the affairs OF
the estate of John W. Owens, d., the entire
stock in both the Weaverville and Junction City
stors are offered at cost, for cash. The goods
are of class in universal demand, and citizens
who study their true interests will not fail to
improve the opportunity of buying where they
can buy cheapest. Groceries, hardware, iron,
clothing, boots and india rubber goods are to be
sold without profit. FOR CASH EXCLUSIVELY. A
perusal of their advertisement will doubtless
lead many to examine the extensive stocks, and
satisfy themselves that it is to their interest to
purchase. Delays are dangerous.

The CHOICE OF THE PEoPLE.-We have hereto.
fore expressed plainly the opinion that Hon
Charles Wsstmoreland, of Humboldt county.
should be nominated for Congress by the Repub-
lican Union party of the Third Congressional
District IN this expression we were governed.
as we hope to be always under similar circum-
stances. by sincere desire to promote the well
fare of the Union party, and uphold the great
principles of right and justice. Mr.. Westmote-
land has endeared himself to all the loyal men
of the State by his bold, unshrnking and un-
selfish defense of the Union sentiment of the
loyal people during the late years of terrible
strife. As journalist, his influence is vet felt
everywhere Always bold for the right. and
foremost in the fray, he won reputation hardly
to be enhanced by any nomination or office that
his friends may bestow. Westmoreland has
pluck and backbone. He always expresses what
he thinks and believes to be right. We want no
time-server placed in this position-no apologist
for the faith he teaches. This is no time for nal
terers Mr. Westmoreland holds a leading pos
ton in his profession, to the discharge of The
,duties of which he brings the same Integrity.
knowledge and zeal that he has so clearly evinced
as journalist and legislator. He is of poDu
lar address, and is the best stump speaker in .he
District, if not in the State. Under his hand
ling, Copperheadism partakes of the scanty rro-
portions that properly belong to it. That he is
the choice of the Union men of the Distrct
hardly admits of doubt, and if be is nominated
there can be no doubt but that he will sweep Il e
District, and swell up a majority that will teach
Copperheads that we propose to camp on the
battle ground where onr victories have been
won. Mr.. Westmoreland belongs to no faction
of the Union party, but to the entire organiza-
ton. He is therefore acceptable to all, having
never impaired his justly earned influence by
any factional strife. With all Union men he
stands fair, and consequently dsliked and feared
by all the chiyalry and dough-faced Copper
heads. ds.-NarysvMe appeal.

To School OFFIcERs.-We are compelled to
say that the affairs of the Office of State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction are not managed
with the punctuality which characterized the
administration of John SWEET Last Saturday
was the day set by law for the election of School
Trustees. Heretofore the State officer has fur
nished to County Supcrintcndents blank election
notices, which were distributed to the school
districts. For some reason the election notices
were not issued this year, which in part may ac-
count for the neglect to choose trustees in sew
eral districts in the county at the legal time.
Vacancies VIII be filled by appointment soon
as the County Superintendent is notified that
they exist. The State Superintendent has thus
far failed to furnish certificates of election, and
trustees and teachers reports, as required by
law. As soon as received they will be forward
ed to the District Clerks

Ok THE RAMrAGE.-Rev. o. P. Fitzgerald and
clique Of his satellites made raid on the
State Educational Society, at its meeting few
days ago. and tried to induce that body to give
the reverend gentleman sole charge of the State
educational journal the California Teacher. lie
also wanted that periodical to be printed at the
Office of the Spectator, the organ of the Metho-
dist Church South. Inasmuch the Teacher
has always been under the editorial control OF
an association of practical teachers, and is de-
voted to the cause of general educaton the at
tempt of the Superintendent to q gobble up the
concern for his own special purposes is decidedly
cheeky to say the least. The expense of pub
fishing the Teacher comes out of the pockets of
the people, who, we imagine, have no desire to
be taxed for the purpose Of supplying Fitzgerald
with another organ through which to dissent
nate his peculiar ideas of education and moral
ity. The Educational Society rejected Mr. Fitz-
gerald's proposition, and elected Samuel l.
Swezey, John SWEET, B. Marks, DR.. Lucky, and
o. P. Fitzgerald editors. The latter then
gave notice that he would not recognize the
Teacher official organ. The State Board
of Education, of which Governor I1aight is Pres
ident, then ordered the Teacher office to be trans
ferred to the Spectator Office and placed under
the control of Fitzgerald, which action is simply
an outrage and an unwarranted assumption of
power on the part of the State Board. This is a
dodge to add another organ to the Methodist
Church South and the Democratic party.-Shasta
