SENATORIAL. DELEGATE.-Less than
three weeks now remain until the day for
the Constitutional Convention election
will be here. S:skiyou, Modoc, Shasta
and Trinity are entitled to Joint Dele
gate in the Convention, and as yet no
candidate has appeared. The names OF
several gentlemen have been mentioned
but none Of them desire the position.-
The nominations in this District so far
are Berry, of Sskiyou, for that Assembly
District, and Tinnin, of Trinity, as Dele
gate at Large. 1t seems probable that
Bass, of Shasta will receive the endorse.
ment Of this Assembly District. All
these gentlemen are Democrats, and their
election may as we'll be conceded, except
perhaps that of Mr.. Tinnin, OF which we
entertain but little doubt. lie being on
a ticket which is to be voted all over the
State the result is rot so certain. A
good, responsible man from the Re-
publican ranks is now wanted as a
Senatorial District candidate with an al
most certain chance for election. Have
we not such a man in the District ?
Trot him out, and DO it quick.

A TALE of broken faith is waited
across the summit from Weavervils.-
1t is not of faithless lover and Il too
trusting loved one, being less romantic
and partaking more ofterrestrial affairs.
A vcnder of jewelry and spectacles made
Bob Goung's acquaintance at Weaver
vile, last week, and hearing Bob exc
cute some heavenly strains on his violin,
he was at once capt;vated, and showed
his appreciation OF the fno arts by at
once commissioning Bob with the i'm
portant responsibility of disposing of a
cheap watch and ring. The ring weighed
something less than six months porker,
and il melted up and mounted on wheels
would make first class Fourth of July
fire cracker, and when we observed Bob
perambulating the streets of Shasta, last
Sunday, with all the glory of "nne
points Of the law" in his favor, he looked
as though he would like "sling" to
support the enormous weight Of that
specimen Of call that glitters is not
gold" Bob is somewhat of a genius
(eviD as three fourths Of tho inhabitants
of California hamlcts are aware. Bob
missed his calling though when he picked
up the fidule and the bow. He should
have been commission merchant by oc
cupation, as he is already ono by intuition
and if you don't think so just ask that
jewelry man. There arc commission
merchants who, when they have disposed
Of a consignment, retain a commission,
say five or ten per cent. and forward the
principal to the shipper. Others, again,
retain the principal and forward the com
mission. But Bob does neither. He las
originated new departure" lie re
tains both principal and commission and
forwards himself on tour of elegant
leisure with the proceeds. This process
saves keeping set of books. But Bob
has hed himself to other parts where,
maybe, cheap jcwelry men have not all
been killed by the early frosts, or dried
up By the late north winds .-ShuStu

A LoFrY REBUKE.-The whole State
of California is one Of the closest of corpo-
rations in the sense that nothing unfavor-
able to it is ever divulged by any resident
within its boundaries, or by anybody
having an interest in its socials, political
or financial affairs. 1t is easy to see this
from the style and tone of its newspapers,
which are perpetuslly sounding tho
praises of the wonderful State, but which
never admit that it has or can have the
slightest drawback or defect. If they are
to be believed, California is rot far from
Plato's "Republic," Moore's Utopia, ="
and Harrngton's "Oceana," rolled into
one. Its climate is perfect; its fertility
unexamped its mineral resources mex
haustible; its scenery matchess its gen
eral conditions ideal; its future beyond
imagining. No doubt it is very fine and
wholly remarkable, but If its people
would admit occasionally that something
in it might be improved that there may
be flaws in its civilization that the mil
lennium may be deferred there for few
years yet, persons of ordinary mold and
unimpressble character might ba less
skcptical than they now are of the mira
clcs which, judging by journalistic rep
resentation, are momontarily wrought on
every square foot Of the Pacific slope

the effects of the wound at O'Clock on
Saturday night. An inquest was held

April 3D., he escaped from Jail; that he
WAS shot by one of the Sheriff's party. in
an attempt 20 capture him, on the night
OF May 9th, after being directed to stop
by the Sheriff, and that he came to his
death from the said gunshot wound. The
jury found that tho Sheriff was justified
in shooting him. Gibbs manifested great
Indifference when told that .he wound he
had received would terminate fatally, and
that he must soon die. To this inlorma-
tion he replied, Let her rip! In answer
TO the question whether the killing of his
wife was Intentional, he replied that it
was not; that it was accidental; that he
threw the pistol from him, which in strilt.
ing the jamb OF the door exploded the
bail striking and killing his wife. Gibbs
was buried this afternoon, his remains
being deposited beside those Of his wife"

TIE TICKET The Democratic Non
Partisan Convention, which embled
in Sacramento last week consisted of
Delegates from only fourteen counties.
All that was done BY the Convention was
to indorse the non partisan District nom
nations already made and recommend
them 10 the support of citizens of all po-
litical compilations. This action places
the Citizens Ticket, rs published at the
head of our columns, prominently before
the people of the whole State, as the best
ticket in the field and we feel that it will
be generally supported. While it con-
tains few names that are Objectionable
some from one cause, Some from an
other-taken as whole we think it as
good as can be had. Many of the nomi-
nations epsde are Of the best and there is
not enough of the other kind to do much
hurt.

THE Nelo Yorh Heraid, of the 14th
instant, in an editorial on the Potter res
oution, says /: There can no longer be
any doubt that the movement in the
House yesterday was instigated by Mr..
Tilden. Had he remained in Europe,
or mad he died on his homeward voyage,
nobody would have undertaken to reopen
the question Of Mr.. Hayes title. Mr..
Tilden had always prided himself on the
secret, underhand method which he calls
n " still hunt" and his disguised hand is
apparent in this attempt to unsette the
great national decision made in February,
1877. He has been behind MONTGOMERY
Blair as IL prompting and directing spirit
MS he is behind Mr.. Potter in the resolu-
ton which was moved yesterday. His
selfish and scrupuIous am mbition subordl-
mates the public tranquility to his person

Forty-four have not been classified by the

ycrs, we believe, several are farmers, and
most of them are nominees of the Work
ingmen. and presumably to be classified
mainly with business men, trade workers
and farmers. The Workingmon have
nominated several lawyers and farmers,
and professional men, and the other con-
vsntions have nominated, also, from all
classes. The farmers and merchants
united outnumber the lawyers three, and
with the others outnumber the lawyers
l23. The miners outnumber the doctors
three, the mechanics outnumber the min.
ers and doctors, and just equal the miners
and journalists. The farmers just equal
the journalists, mechanics, miners and
doctors. Three congressional districts
have nominees in the feld in full and ono
in part. Thirty-three counties have had
conventions Zone or more), and eight
counties have made joint nominations. -

A CURE FOR DRUNKENNEss.- The
Chicago Tribune Of March n printed the
following letter;
MINNEATbLIs, March 0.
In times past you have published mum
erous articles on the cure OK drunkenness;
but none of thom, so far as | have been
able to discover, have resulted in reliev.
ing the victim they were intended to bene-
TT. With your permission | will now
give to the world, through the Sun, a sure
and speedy cure for intemperance-a cure
that has been tried frequently, and always
successfully.
Let the inberiate-t matters not whether
he IS just getting off, is beginning it, or on
Il spree"-0egin by tdking eUery tOO
hours one drochna (te0SpOOnfUO of Gin
chOna (peruvian bark. This will make
him feel good. He can increase the dose
to six chms(teaspocntuls) without anv
danger, and take in that proportion four
to ton times a day. In the course of a
few days the anti-periodic properties OF
the cinchona begin to tell, and he loses
not only taste for the tincture, but also
for everything in the way of alcohol.
Recently, in this city, well known
soltieiIIdil-HH DAs IN tlmeS past Deen
on his $500 and 81 600, sprees-tried this
remedy, telling the various druggists
where he drank it that he was lighting
and would conquer the greatest demon on
earth, but they would hardly believe him
Yet he conquered, and the appetite for
drink vanished. He was never nervous,
never lost his appetite or sleep during the
siege and came out Of the ordeal in per
feet health. During the time the fever
lasted | gave him two or three doses OF
simple medicine for his general health,
but the tlncture OF cinchona did the bu.i-
ness. This ease car be verified by The
proprietors Of seven of our drug stores.
80 well satisfied am of the value of tho
treatment, that | will guarantee II cure in
all cases, using this remedy alone.
K. D'UNGER, NJ. d.
In subsequent letter, communicated
to the Chicago IfibNne, Dir. D'Unger
says:
As all medical men and druggists are
aware, there is a large amount Of adulter-
alton in the Peruvian bark ofcommerce,
many 6arks which are mixed with the
genuine possessing the same bitter prin-
cple observed in quinins, but not the
0terdtiUe and dnti-pe1t0dtc properties
which the genuine bark atone possesses
In speaking oftircture ofcinchona, there
fore | should have mentioned that the
bari out of which it is made must be p'tYe,
for 1t is the ottt-pertOdic property that
cures incbridtiOn.

THE persistoncy with which sympa-

in the event Of tho Democratic party
obtaining power, the army and navy
may be replenished from confederate
sources and recruited up to any number
