STATE lsTiruTIoNs/FoR THE DEAF, DUNE AND
BLIND.-As the new buildings for this institu-
tion, located near Oakland. Alameda county,
are rapidly approaching completion, and conse-
quently the time for re-opening school is draw
ing near, the directors and principals respect
fully ask the cooperation of the press and inJi-
vidual effort throughout the State, in extending
information of this fact to all who by reason of
deafness blindness entitled to the benefits
of this institution. To correct misapprehension,
the public is informed that the institution is not
an asylum, but educational establishment,
where pupils are admitted for purposes of in
strncton only, but all deaf and dumb or blind
persons between the ages of six and twenty-one
years, of sound mind and body, and residents of
the State, will be received without charge, save
for clothing and travelling expenses Any one
who knows of persons afflicted will confer a
favor by addressing the principal, Warning Wik-

give any information that may be desired.

The Political Prospect.

In less than two weeks the voters of Trinity
county will express at the ballot box their choice
for the various county officers. We have no
doubt of the election of the entire Republican
ticket, and seriously believe that well-nformed
Democrats count upon nothing as certain, but
may possibly secure the election of one or two
OF their candidates. The truth is, and this fact
must and will have great weight with the peo-
pie, there is really good ground of oppo-
sition to the Republican nominees, except for
partisan reasons. fair share of those on the
ticket have already been tested in an official ca
pacity, AID we have yet to hear of any opposi-
tion being made to any of them because of in
competency or kindred disqualifications Tax
payers will remember, too that il has been
the control of the present dominant party that
the county finances have been steadily but
surely brought to their present satisfactory con-
diton and redeemed from almost total bank
ruptcy. Under these circumstances, there is
nothing to lead Republicans from the support
OF their nominees, and we rejoice to be able to
state as positive fact that the party was never
more unanimous and decided in behalf of their
ticket than they are in this canvass. Our ad-
vices from all parts of the county are of the
most encouraging character. Every attempt on
the part of the Democracy to foment discord in
the Republican ranks has utterly failed, while
on the other hand, numbers of the most sound
and reliable members of the Democratic party
upon purely political questions, are disposed to
rise above petty partisan prejudices, and as
good citizens having solely in view the interests
OF the county, intend voting for the best men,
no matter upon which ticket they may be found
Every thing considered Republicans may rest
assured that nothing is needed but earnest, WELL
directed effort to insure success.

The Next ArroRrIosxrsr. An exchange

The NEXT APPoR1loSHEAT : An e1cnange
says: r -
The next apportionment of members of the
House of Representatives, to be based upon the
census returns Of 1870, will make a material
difference in the representative strength of many
of the States The American empire is moving
westward at steady and rapid pace, and that
section will be the principal gamer ia the new
distribution of power. All of the Middle and
Western States have doubtless increased more
or less in population during the past ten years ;
but IL ia doub btful whether the Eastern States in
the aggregate have held their own. 1t is GER
tain that the remarkable multiplication of the
Western population, in contrast with that of the
seahoard States, leaves the latter comparatively
stationary. If the total number of representa-
tives be not increased, New England will lose
several members, and probably some will be
missing from the Middle States.
