Bs Alleged Convention. An effort was made to hold a Con; vention in. this city yesterday for the purpose of electing delegatés to attend the New Constitution Party State Convention at Sacramento.— The affair fell so far short of being even a moderate success that it was an ignominious failure, and carried with it thé assurance that the H. B’s party is still-born so far asNevada county is concerned. It was to" have met at Workingmen’s . Hall at ila. m., but half an hour after. that time elapsed before enough of the faithful had put in an appearance to make any showing at all. At 11:30 there were twenty-five men inthe Hall, about one-fourth of whom were staunch members of opposing parties, and had dropped in to see the fun. “Johu I. Caldwell, Esq., called the meeting to order. C. Conaway of Grass Valley, was elected President ; Jacob. Naffziger, Vice nominated Secretary, but declined to serve, and Wm. Powell was elected to that office. These gentlemen were declared the officers of the permanent orgauization which it was decided to form. A Committee on Cre. dentials, Order of Business and Resalutieas was appointed. It consisted ef W. D: Wodda of Grass Valley; » issue his certificate. He is a geutle-. anq John [. Caldwell and John T. . Lewis of this city. After being in. session fifteen minutes the Convention adjourned till 1:30 o’clock Pp. M. AFTERNOON SESSION.

B. Parrazett, R. D. Skidmore, A. J. Ross, C. H. ‘lilton, Win. Holsclaw. As will be seen, the great majority of the above, delegates were represented by proxier, Order of Business: Selection of six delegates to attend State and District Conventions of New Constitution Party to be held in Sacramento . on the 25th instant.The appointment of a Count)’ Central Committee consisting of six members — from Nevada, 5 from Grass Valley, 2 from Meadow Lake, and one from each of the other townships in the county.

B.’s have one éommon aim in — and the victory of May 7th was pbtained through a combination of the forees, co-operation for filling State, District and county offices at the next election-is earnestly advised. An amendment to the Committee's report was submitted by W. D. Long, Esq.,.in the shape of a resolution advising that the delegates from this Convention to the State Convention be at liberty to select from the Workingmen’s ticket as many of their nominees for State offices as may be found desirable ; and also that sail delegates use all honorable means to bring about an amieable settlement of the ditferences between the H.

Sargent: ‘Supreme: ep es That Rene Editor's Case." ‘The editor of the Reno Gazette has made an ass:of himeelf by publishing this item : -The Nevada TRANSCRIPT continually copies from the Gazette without crédit, and not satisfied with stealing the items, credits them invariably to the Journal. [fit is not stopped we will publish something that the TRANSCRIPT will neither be disposed to steal_nor credit to any other paper. The Transcript has not contained an item (except a single advertisement) originally appearing in the Gazette for many weeks, It has never credited any article to the Journal that was written for the Gazette. “We will wager any sum of money from $100 to $500 that the facts bear out our assertions on this subject. Now let the bravado put “up or shut up. Ina friendly sort of way he is advised to recollect hereafter that there is such a thing as barking up the wrong tree. For the sake of arPresident ; W. D.-Long, Esq-;"was}Gament, we are willing to assume that the Gazette HAS been wronged by the Transcrirt, and inyite the former to publish that “‘something” he hints at,—that is, unless he feels like acknowledging his error. -wee The Longest Days.

The Bergers and Sol Smith Russel had a fair-sized audience when they appeared ‘at the Theatre Friday evening. Among the most entertaining numbers of the programme were the masterly personations of Russel, who kept the listeners in good humur from first to last; Miss Anna Teresa Berger’s exquisitely rendered cornet solos; Miss Louise Kemlo’s vocal selections, and the bell ringing. -Every feature was chaste, and a more thoroughly skilled combination -of artists are not to be found. RSLS ens ets ere a Saam Probably net Trac. It was reported in the city yesterday that a son of G. W. Baldwin had fallen from the V Flume and received fatal injuries. As none of the employes of the Company knew any-. thing about such an accident when communicated with through the telephone, the report is probably a ¢anard, which owes its origin to the fact that a man named J. S. Jack, who had been at work at the Fiume mill . was-stricken down with typhoid fever Thursday and sent to the Hospital for treatment. ><:Poor Brothers’ Claim. _ The Poor Brothers, whose claim is above Blue Tent, have recently struck into some very rich gravel and are drifting. They have engaged water from the South Yuba Canal Company to make a clean-up soon, and expect big returns, Bullion from the Bloomfeld Mine. Superintendent Perkins came down from the North. Bloomfield mine yesterday with a fine lot of bullion, which was shipped to the Bay through Wells, Fargo & Co.'s. express, ate! A Long Carriage Ride. Brother Jonathan Clark and Geo: M. Mott returned to this city Friday after a two week’s pleasure trip ina buggy over the mountains. They went as far as Virginia City. 4 There is nothing more pitiful in this world than the appealing look of a man beating carpets in the back yard, as he raises his eyes to the windows in longing for his better half to make her appearance.

Here are a couple of smggestive references to Plug Hat Brigadier Hamilton’s H. B. whoop-up in Nevada county: Leonidas Hamilton, the apostle -of the New Constitution Pasty was not very successful.in his efforts to organize a club :at this place. The mass meeting called for Tuesday evening was a lamentable failure, not over thirty persons ‘being present. here -was no enthusiasm among those present. Those called upon to express their opinion regarding the new party seemed to be ina state of great perplexity and doubt as to the success of the movement. In can be postively asserted that the H. B's. will poll a. remarkably small vote in ‘Truckee and in fact throughout Nevada county.—Truckee Republican. San Juan, Cal., June, 18. ‘Eprror Atta: The San Francisco Chronicle, of last Saturday, contains a long dispatch from this place [ (North San Juan), relative to a meeving of the H. B’s. onthe evening preLeonidas Hamilton. That dispatch to the contrary, the meeting was a signal failure. _There was no Club organization, for the very good reason that when Hamilton, at the close of the meeting, earnestly requested the friends of the new movement to come up to the etand and sign a call for a club, nobody went, and there was not at that time, nor since,any intention to organize a club. In fact the material is wofully lacking. Kearney the rump panty here have not sufficient stremgth to even muster a cor& poral’s guard. At the aseeting aforesaid, there was no President or active officer to preside, for» mo one would act. Hamsilton was the only person to act, and he is the author of the dispatch above mentioned. The Republicans are up and moving, and here and in Nevada connty this Fall. _A SUBSCRIBER.
oo oe The ‘‘Miners’ County Ticket.” The last issue of the Cherokee National contains a letter from Grass . Valleyin which the writer vouclsafes the following evidently original information: The movement to nominate a Citizens’ ticket in -this county to run against’the Workingmen, is gaining strength. It will probably be called ‘*‘The Miner's County ticket” or some such taking name. The slate; Iam told, includes nominating Reardan for Superior Judge, Gaylord for District Attorney, . Searls for Senate, Ed. Coleman, E. Bond and some Democrat for Assembly, Roberts will ‘‘take his chances” for Congressional nomination. White and Payne will be renominated and the balance of nominations given to the Republicans, The rumor is given for what it is worth, but is doubtless true in many particulars. It is understood that allthe seven delegates that haveattended the Workingmen’s State Convention are willing to take nominations for county offices from their Party. _A Secret System. { Everyone has heard of the secret police system in Russia—-the most wonderful in the world. Social resorts, stores, markets, all are under their eontrol. » Secret agents are found everywhere. The universities and high schools literally swarm with then. They are generally recruited among such of the students as show a decided tendency toward ‘“‘smartness” and are not over burdened by an exaggerated feeling of honor. A handsome monthly salary is offered to them on condition that they will report all that happens amid the turbulent youths of the schools. A man who-has once been reported as suspicious is virtually fost in Russia In every caréer which he attempts, to follow, he will be stopped by an invisibfé hand, -and he will be put out of the way one for all at the very first opportunity. De Successful Men Advertise? Foran answer to the above question, we submit the follow ing extract from the San Francisco Call: Advertising must accomplish wonders, or so much money would not be expended in this way. We have long realized that any.capable_person could build up.a fair business by judicious advertfng, for we have seen such great results brought about through its means. 1t has, however, been a surprise to ns, how a theatrical manager could afford to expend five Lundred dollars for an advertisement in a single number of a journal like the Call) Yet the agent of Denman Thompson—‘“Joshua terday’s issue—Sunday—which we refused to publish, owing to the tp Cohntry Notes. (Pownieville Messenger.) From Doctor Leonard, we learn that the Plumas Eureka mine is now> ' employing about250 men. A new 40stamp mill, run by a turbine -wheel, has’just ‘been completed, and crushes about 100 tons of ore daily. “Under the superintendence of Wm. Jones, the mine has been splendily dewebeped, there being ore enough in sight to keep the mills running for three years, and a careful estimate reveals ahead to last for 25 years. The'company have just erected a large bearding-h use wth all the modern conveniencies.
