JACKSON, June 9.-The Conservative
Republicans of Mississippi, have issued a
call for convention on the 23d of June.
The call is signed by Jeffards, Ford,
Fisk, Field, Warren, Norman and
others. They claim to be opponents OF
Grants policy, repudiate the State Exec,
utive Committee and the extreme Radi-
Gals, and insist that they are strictly
in accordance with the Congressional
plan, claiming that such a course
will promote harmony and frater-
nal feeling between men of oil sec
toss and colors; aud say, in conclusion,
we can, and must, live together as
friends. The call seems to be favorably
received.

NEWARK, June o. Senator Sprague
spoke here about half an hour yester-
day, reiterating his former opinion Of
national affairs. he said prosperity was
unequal, and step by step the nation was
losing its best interests and liberty. We
want corrective balance Of power to
prevent few individuals from monopo-
lizing power. We want money as cheap
as it can be procured by the people of
other countries, to promote industry.
He advised the working.men to organize

81 arrived here last Thursday morning. The
first man met on getting out of the stage was
Judge Pitzer, and few moments afterwards |
found myself surrounded by Doctor Trask,
Frank Wheeler F. a. Buck and host of other
old residents of Weaverville, Shasta, Red Bluff,
and San Francisco. This is a pleasant place
and the only one | have seen this side of the
California line. The main street, near the ex-
press Offices, and in fact for quarter of mile,
is nearly blocked most of the time with people,
This great number is composed of merchants,
miners, lawyers, saloon keepers, tradesmen of
every description, gamblers, &c, most of whom
are broke and waiting for chance to make them
rich or furnish the requisite to leave A
great many are leaving every day, more than are
coming in. That there are rich mines here there
can be no doubt but that they extensive is
very seriously doubted and this doubt is what
seems at present to create the unfavorable i'm
preston against the mines, which is pretty
general. | have not made up my mind get
about the great wealth of the miIes, but have
no fancy for this country"

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

How HAS 1T HAPPENED ?-At the time Of his last
trip to this place the Humboldt mail-carrier in
formed the citizens of Weayervlle that the Fed
eral taxes were due upon the assessments made
penalty of having five per cent. added thereto
This announcement took our people by surprise,
being the first and only notice received by them
in this matter other than the statements of the
Deputy Assessor at the time OF requiring and re-
ceiving their assessments. The Deputy Assessor
informs US that the taxes are now due, and must
be paid by the 3lst day of this month, or FIVE
per cent. will be added to the amount of the
original tax. In that event the money forwarded
next week by the Humboldt express will proba-
bly, reach Arcata in time to avoid the penalty.
We slow to believe that this information is
correct or that onr people will be treated as de-
linqents without other and further notice than
has been given in this business. If the state
ments referred to are true, many, perhaps the
most of our citizens, will not be able to send to
Arcata in time. We are inclined to believe that
there is some misunderstanding about this mat
ter, but nevertheless only those who send the
money will be on the safe side. In the mean
time we intend to give the subject thorough
investigation, and if the action of the Collector
results in cost to our citizens, the public shall
know how if has happened.
