No SESAToRIAL CoMBISATIoy.-An absurd ru-
NOR has been in circulation in San Francisco
during the past week, TO the effect that General
bldwell had entered into political combination
with a certain candidate for United States Sen
atoral honors. This rumor has been industri-
ously circulated by the friends of those who are
vainly aspiring to the gubernatorial nomination,
and who think that by spreading such report
as the above, that they can ALLEVIATE from Gen.
eral Bidwell the support of many of his friends.


1t is needless to say that the report is without
foundation. We assured that the General
has not, nor will he enter into any combination,
whereby the executive patronage of the State
will be prostituted to making any particular in
dydual United States Senator. The absurd
ity of conceiving such thing is manifest, when
it appears that every prominent candidate for
Senator is in favor of his nomination The rea-
for this is obvious. They knoy that he is
the choice of the great mass of the people, and
they dare not endanger their own chances by op-
posing him.-Napa Register.


We called attention to this rumor in the
JorESAL Of March 9th, and designated it as
falsehood. Let it be so considered by men of
the Union party. When General Bidwell con-
sented to permit his name to be used in connec-
tion with the Gubernatorial position, he plainly
stated on what conditions it might be DONE His
past course is sufficient assurance that he will
keep his word-that he will enter into no COM
bination-particularly the one in question. This
rumor was started by the q slate"- makers Of
its origin and intent our readers will in due
time be further informed

IL BAD RERUrE.--The Nevada Legislature,
which recently adjourned, but which is now
again in session, did not stand very high in the
esteem of the good people of the sage-brush
country. The Virginia Enterprise of the 10th,
alludes to it in not very complimentary terms,
as may be discovered by perusal of the follow
ing extract from its leading article:

THEY MUsr BE FED.-There is much destitution
in the South among ex-rebels. Thousands of
them are actually in state of starvation and
Congress is about to appropriate million of
dollars to feed the disloyal! Thus are they to
be punished-these men who raised their hands
against the Government-a Government SO ben
efcent that it first whips them into obedience
and then, when hungered in consequence of their
own misdeeds, it takes money from the public
purse to cherish them. Surely such wonderful
magnanimity must be appreciated by all persons
! not entirely debased. They are our own people,
and they must not be permitted to starve. Hu-
manity and all the abiding interests of the nation
demand that they shall be succored.-Sae. Bee


The leaders at the South sowed the wind the
poor dupes who did their bidding are now reap
ing the whirlwind. We have little doubt that
while the poor of Georgia and other Gulf States
are starving and calling upon the Government
for aid, the heartless aristocracy of that section
close their ears to the appeals of those whom
they forced into rebellion against just and gen.
erous Government. One of the bitter results of
that course is now being experienced. The
mouth pieces of treason in California have an op-
portunity of displaying their sympathy for the
" oppressed" people of the South.





VERY APPLICABLE HERE.-We desire to call the
attention of Trinity people to the following
truthful remarks by correspondent of the Quia
cy Union. They applicable here in
Plumas 80 1t is beyond dispute that the farmer
is entirely dependent, directly and indirectly on
the miner for the sale of his produce, the
competition in other quarters is such that he
cannot hope to find a market elsewhere. The
same rule applies with equal force to the mer-
chant and persons of all other pursuits. 1t does
not therefore, require half an eye to see that if
mining was stopped, all other pursuits would
lapguish and decay. Hence, it is a sacred duty
to themselves, that men of all professions and
trades should lend their assistance, great or
small, to the developement of the unlimited gold
fields of Plumas county,.

QUICKLY AND QUIETLY DoXE.--Between the
closing of the Goth and the opening of the 10th
Congress there was a recess of only twenty min

the Presidents veto by vote of l35 to Al. At
II O'Clock on the night Of the I'd the veto of the
Reconstruction Bill was overcome in the Senate
by handsome majority and the President OF
the Senate declared it a law without the sigma
ture of the President. In the House the veto oi
the Bill regulating the power of appointment was
beaten by vote of l2l to 81. A. j. must by

APPOINTMENT OF A. X. LowERy.-The appoint.

the person removed was a good Union man; and we

A good old man, few days since, was
speaking of his conversation with sksptic,
who was bringing up various arguments to
prove that religion was all a delusion. The
old man was unlearned, and could not con-
flute him by reasoning; but be used the
simple logic Of a true Christian heart, and
there was no gainsaying it.

A correspondent Of an agricultural ex-
change says: s.-a F t~- .at


GA notion prevails among large class of
farmers that it is essential that grass seed
should be sown with some kind of grain
crop, that the young plants may have some
kind of protection while in their tender
stage of growth. But from experience and
observation / am satisfied that it is not at
all essential, or even desirable, where grass
and hay are the first object f.....


Grass seed sown on well pref ared ground,
in September, viii make an excellent stand
and growth for the next seasons cutting;
also when sown 10 early spring good crop
may be realized at the usual season of bar-
vesting. Fall sowing on soils that do not
heave by the frost is preferable 10 spring as
the ground is generally clean of weeds. aud
the grass starting into growth takes pos
session of the soil, while the seed of weeds,
if any start to vegetate, are ehoked down
and die. On clayey or heavy soils that are
stiff, which cannot be we'll worked thus
early, and all these advantages are not as
readily enjoyed, and a spring seeding is best
generally on such soils. Where it is i'm
practicable to put the seed in March or ear
ly in April. it is advisable to peed down
with some kind of grain, sown thin, so as
not to choke ont the grass, or by rank
growth of straw be. liable to fall down and
smother it. A variety of from Two to Eve
sorts should be sown. aud by no means a
thin seeding. The variety of sorts should
be made up Of kinds that come to maturity
as near alike as possible and known to sue
ceed in the vicinity where designed to be
grown, and in similar soil


Glover is always more sure when sown
in spring than at other seasons. and for this
reason is sown with other seed, with grain;
or on fall stocked ground, when there is a
light fall of snow Ia March. ,aE-.sa -Ea


A liberal seeding will generally give a

/ ing thick, the stems will grow finer and
more tender, and be much more readily
