On Saturday evening the German Brass Band
of Weayervlle honored Mr. A. c. Lawrence with
musical demonstration as home welcome,
which was not only worthy of that gentleman,
but very creditable to themselves. Mr. Law
renee made his appearance in front of Hocker's
brick block and replied to the repeated calls OF
his friends in the following:


My friends and fellow citizens Il am unable
to find language adequate to express my sense of
gratitude for the very kind demonstration made
in my behalf tonight. The mark of appreciation
and esteem which yoH are pleased to bestow in
thus welcoming me home, is one which | assure
yon sinks deep into my heart.

duties with full sense of the trusts and respon
sibilties which the position imposed, and can
say that if have failed in the full and honorable
discharge or all or any part of my duty as your
representative, have still the satisfaction of
feeling the rectitude Of my course and intentions.
My humble efforts were alone directed to the
purpose of accomplishing the greatest good to
the greatest number. ] felt proud of the people
and the particular locality had the honor to
represent and if / have merited the humble
encomium of " well done thou good and faithful
servant" feel that ii is the most substantial
aud gratifying reward or compensation which
my ambition could demand


Many important questions have been settled in
the Legislature during the last winter--settled
in such way | trust and believe, as meets the
hearty approval of the people Of the State.
There may have been at times symptoms of inefli-
cheney manifested on the part of the Legislature
during the past session. 1t will always be So
the Legislature of California cannot be the ex-
cepton. Such indications are common to legis-
lative bodies, because the conflict Of political
elements fails TO insinuae its influence and
effects into assemblies of that character.


There is one thing upon which | can congra tu-
late the people Of California, and that is the fact
of having man in the executive chair who will
leave the position he honors so much with a
name and a series of acts and deeds which will
remain an imperisbable record in the archives of
the State-refecIing the highest credit upon his
character as a man Of pure mind, sober and en-
lightened judgement, and an integrity as unques-
tionable as the justice of truth itself.


My friends am not disposed to enter into a
detail of the past acts which belong to my Off
cial conduct. ] will leave that for another occa-
sion, believing that my justification will be found
in the favor of grateful constituency. In con-
clusi0n, must again return you my sincere
thanks for this evidence Of your kind regards
and appreciation Of my humble efforts and inten-

TO The lion. Court.of Sessions Of Trinity County:


We, the Grand Jury Of the County of Trinity,
at the May term Of the Court of Sessions, re-
spectfully report to the Hon. Court that they
have examined the public buildings of the county,
and find them in deplorabe condition. The
Jail is in the last stages of irreparable decay,
unsafe for the purposes Of a prison, unhealthy,
aHd disgrace to the county.


The Court House is in some, though not much
better condition. A species of vermin known
as bed bug, has literally taken possession of the
temple of Justice, invaded the Offices of the
Sheriff and Clerk, de6ed the records, and in
several instances attacked the Judge on the
Bench. Many and costly repairs are necessary
to render it comfortable and decent. In fact a
complete renovation of the entire interior of the
building is demanded as matter Of necessity.


The Grand Jury therefore recommend that
new Jail and Court House be built or purchased ,
and for that purpose they advise that a special
Property Tax, not TO exceed the sum of $4,000
per annum for the term Of three years, should be
assessed as soon as the same can be lawfully done


We furthermore recommend that the Board of
Supervisors procure more safe place for keep
ing the County Records

Believing that the time has arrived when the
great Republican party of the United States ought
to be fairly represented in the daily press OF the
National Metropolis, we have embarked in the
enterprise of supplying the citizens of the District
of Columbia with q daily publication, under the
title of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN"


In its political department. this journal Will
advocate and defend the principles of the Repuo-
lican party, and endeavor to disabuse the puohc
mind OF groundless prejudices which have been
engendered against it, by the false accusations
Of its enemies Having the utmost confidence
that the administration Of Mr.. Lincoln will be
such as to merit our appreciation, we expect to
yield il a cordial, but not servile support. In
the great issue that is likely to be made with his
administration, by the enemies Of the Republican
party, the people Of Washington and the District
of Columbia have more at stake than the peopl"
Of any other portion of our common country. We
believe that to support Mr.. Lincolns administra-
ton will be synonymous with maintaining the in
tegrity Of the Federal Union against the macbin-
atons of those who would rend 1t asunder No
one can doubt upon which side of this issue the
people of Washington will be found, when they
come to realize that it is fairly forced upon them
We feel confident therefore, that in yielding to
the administration of Mr.. Lincoln a cordial sup
port, we shall have the sympathy of an immense
majSity of the people of this District and vcin-
ity.


1t is not our design, however, to make the
National. Republican a mere political paper. We
intend, that as a medium of general and local
news it shall not be inferior to any other journal
published in this city. We shall pay particular
attention to questions of local policy, and advo-
cate such reforms as we may deem essential to
the prosperity of the city, and TO the advance
ment OF the moral and material welfare of its
inhabitants.


We deem it unnecessary, however, to multi
ply promises, as the paper will Immediately make
its appearance, and will then speak for itself.


1t will be published every afternoon, and de-
lvered to city subscribers at six cents per week
Mail subscribers, $3.50 year, payable in ad
vance.


The publication Office is at the corner Of lnd
| ana avenue and Second street.

as it was formerly called, is not exceled for
auriferous wealth by any like extrnt of coun-
try in the State. The hill tops, the hill sides,
the ravines-everywhere, gold is found in
paying quantities; but the great difficulty
encountered, is the want of sufficient fall to
sluice off the tailings from the diggings.


A project is on foot among the miners and
leading business men of North Bloomfield, to
remedy this evil in the following manner: 1t
is proposed to cross the dividing ridge be-
tween the town and the South Yuba, and
low down in the canon of that stream, COM
mence capacious tunnel, which shall be cut
through the hill at proper ascending grade,
for nearly mile, until it reaches the subte-
ranean line of Humbug Creek, when a shaft
will be raised a perpendicular hight of one
hundred and nine feet; thus affording an
outlet for the tailings which it is now found
impossible to dispose otto advantage A joint
stock company is to be formed for carrying
this grand project into effect. Books were
opened couple of weeks ago, and thirty
