it will he a matter of no moment

During the week has been excer-

stay SO till the spring opens. The

it is so. One jObber who is doing

ing that the institution had $780,
600 lying idle and doing nothing,
and he said that that was the case
everywhere. So it can't be the
scarcity of money that makes the
dullnes of trade. The fact is no

nothing is being engaged in. New

THE COUNTY CONVENTIONS.

The Democratic and Republican
County Conventions will meet here
tomorrow for the purpose of nomina-
ting candidates for members of the
Legislature and county offices. As there
10 no probability of the two conventions
uniting and selecting joint ticket. two
sets of candidates will be named for
the respective offices. The difference
of opinions on national and State affairs
precludes the possibility of any other
result. One of the parties arrogates to
itself all the loyalty. morality and intel
ligence of the country. though its lead
ers are shown to be as void of principle
and as intent on plumber as the old,
corrupt and rotten Democracy of New
York under the rule of Boss Tweed.
Believing that the Democratic party of
to-day is as loyal as intelligent, and
under existing circumstances more
liable to make necessary reforms in the
administration of the Government than
the arrogant, dominant party, We fight
under its banner, and suggest to the
convention. the necessity as we'll as the
propristy of nominating an unsxcep-
tional ticket. The material of which
the Democratic party in this county 10
composed affords the convention an
opportunity to select a ticket that can
not be beaten. Men capable and honest
are abundant in its ranxs, and if these
qualifications are overlooked, defeat
may and ought to be the result at the
polls. Humboldt is a Democratic
county. 1t will roll up q handsome
majority for the national and State
tickets. And, gentlemen of the con-
vsntion, it devolvss upon You TO name

sLIGHTED.

The Hon Thomas Wren, who would
like to be Congressman, is announced
to speak in different parts of the State
during the campaign. 1t is to be re-
gretted that he has sighted Winnie
mucca and will only address Humboldt
ers from the platform of silver palace
sleeping car at the different stations
along the road. He evidently feels sore
at the treatment he received from the
Humboldt delegation, not one of whom
voted for him in the State Convention.
One of the wicked partners, who was q
delegate, attempted to placate Mr..
Wren for voting against him in the con-
vention by subsequently announcing
that he. (Wren) is the best candidate
that could be nominated, but Wren
refuses the stale orumb, and now Sights
HUMBOLDT in the campaign. Perhaps
Mr.. Wren has given up Humboldt as
beyond redemption, and thinks the
people are too intelligent to be attracted
by the bloody shirt from the true issues
of the campaign. He undoubtedly
imagines that Humboldters attribute
the discount on silver, and consequent
dull times to the true cause, the refusal
of Republican Senate to restore th"
silver dollar to the standard from which
it was reduced by trick in the interest
of the untaxed bondholders and money
kings of the East. If SO, Mr.. Wren is
correct in his opinion yet We regret
that he should have taken these things

The New York Tribune, Dec. 9th,
has the following special from WASH
ington:
The scheme for impeaching the presi-
dent, which grew out Of a bitter parti-
san feeling, was only defeated by the
resolute opposition Of nearly the entire
Southern delegation, who under the
lead of BENZ. Hill, Of Georgia, stubborn
ly refused to have anything to do with
the project. The position Of these gentle
men is that peace must not be imper-
illed for the chance Of seeming party
triumph, and that no matter how
threatening the situation may become,
the way out Of 1t can be found without
resort to arms.
In conversation to-day Hill said: II
the people Of this country were not ca
pable of settling a disputed presiden-
tial question without violence, they
were not fit to have a president, and
ought to be governed by a monarch; he
said he had confidence In the wisdom Of
the people, and felt sure that they would
not sustain any movement likely to
jeopardize the public tranquility. II
