On Thursday morning last a most atrocious murder was committed at Cherokee Fiat, Butte county, in . which a young lady, Miss Me Daniels lost her life, It appears that the murderer, an Italian or Portuguese, kmown by the name of “Joe,” had beech paying attention to the young lady for two years past, though she tried to discourage ‘his suit. He had threatened to kill her if she did not marry him, but it seems she paid little attention to his threats, On Wednesday evening a young couple of the village got married and gave a ball, which, Miss McDaniels attended, in comipany with a Mr. ‘Wells. On -rétorning home next morning about ~~ daylight, in company with Mr; Wells and a lady friend,the assassin sprang from a dark recess on the street upon Miss McDaniels, seized her by the head, and ‘bending it, backward, plunged'@ ‘knife in her throat and drew it downward, inflicting a horrible wound, laying the throat open the whole length, and even cutting ler bosom, Mr. Wells, as soon as possible, drew his revolver and fired at the wurderer who. fled on accomplishing his bloody work, but whether the ball took effect is not known, as the asassiniturned a corner and escaped before another shot could be fired, The young lady ranabout ten fet and ‘then fell into the arms of Miss Glass and expired. The report o: the firing and screams of the lades awoke the. villagers from their slumbers, who hastened to the terr.ble scene, and soon footmen and horsemen were in pursuit of the murderer in all directions. Miss McDaniels was 18 years of age, an estimable young lady, and a general favorite of the village. At last account@ the assassin was still at large, —andif-eaptaured, Judge—Lyneh will relieve the Courts of trying the case, aud will meet out that just retribution which the damnable crime deserves. Miners’ Srare.—The miners at Mutter Creek, Amador county, have “organized a formidable strike ; their *demand being that no one should work in or about a mine for less than $250 aday. They. forced a suspension of operations in. the Amador, . Keystone, and other mimes, and afterward took possession of the Amador mill, but the officers subse. sion of , General Colton, \ Che President of lutions to the Secretary.

It was nfoved that the names of A. Olinger, proxy G. 8. Farley, and Hugh O'Connor from Bloomfield, and Michael McCauley as proxy for George Williams of Grass Valley, be stricken out, Mr. King contested the seat of A. M. Walker of Summit Valley, and that portion of the ‘report was excepted, and the report.as amended Was ado’ : . and the fair one. . that King had been there and held! waecting in Placer county; “and . a: . Walker’s meeting was the, right one, . Mr. Byrne. read Hill’scredentials, when. Mr. Cross, of Truckee, made a statement to the effect that Meeker was not a citizen ; that King had registered Oscar Turner. before he was 21 years old; that . Turner wis a Repubhean, and that. King did not swear persons whom he registered. Mr. Byrne moved to lay King’s . mo ion on the table, bat withdrew it . temporarily for Mr, Watt tomake a? statement, in which “he conceded . Hill's honesty of purpose, but con. tended that he ought not to have the seat in face of the testimotry.—Mr-+Byrne then renewed his_motion, and on calling the rollthe vote stood, ayes 38, noes 36. This wasa test vote, . and the ‘announcement of the result was hailed with cheers by the Find. leyites. ~ . A motion to adwjt Hill was then carried—ayes 43, noes 31. Mr. Byrne then offered resolutions against subsidies, opposing national taxation as levied, indorsing Findley for Governor and instructing delegates to use all honorable means to seccre his nomination; also instructing them not to give proxies. A division of the question being called for, the first and second resolutions , were adopted unanimously, Mr, Watt offered an amendment to the third resolution, #0 as to send unpledged delegates. He said that Findley was not the choice of the . Democracy of Nevada county ; that those who went for him supported him only as friends; but that Haight was the choice, and the most, available. The vote was taken on the amendment with the following result; ayes 35, nays 40. So the amendment was lost. The resolution instructing the delegates for Findley was adopted; and the fourth resolution in relation to proxies was withdrawn. Findley being called for, came forward amid shouts, and addressed the Convention, thanking them and defining his position. Mr Watt offered resolutions indorsing Haight's administration, which were submitted to the Convention and carried unaniniously. Byrne moved that a committee of five be appointed to select delegates. Watt objected, and moved that each township delegation be allowed to select one delegate, and that four be selected by the Convention from the county at large. There was some lively sparring, anda vote was taken upon Watt's amendment, with the following result : yeas 43, nays 33. The amendment was adopted, which was a victory of the opposition. The following delegates were elected : Nevada—J.H, Helm.Grass Valley—Jas.K. Byrne. Rough and y—Wim. Coombe. Bri . McLean. a “Meado' one delegate for each precinct, and . one for every fifty votes. cast for . Grant, and one for every fraction of twenty-five votes, over fifty. The . Convention is called to elect dele-. ‘gates to the State and Congressional . Conventions, and the test adopted was a pledge to support the Republi. can nominees.

There is not a neater, better arranged or more elegant establishment to be found this side of—San Francisco. A visit to this house will convince any one that what we have said is strictly true, and not half has been said, that might be, on the subject. The goods are all of the latest patterns and selected expressly for this section of country by Mr. Bliven, while in San Francisco, and he understands the wants of our people. The goods consist of china sets,crockery and glass ware of every quality and description, the most beautiful stock of plated ware, of the latest designs and of superior finish, elegant table cutlery, wire ware, bird cages and willow ware. They received yesterday the finest and most beautiful lot of wall paper ever brought to this coast; to appreciate it, call and see it, They have also every description of window fixtures, picture frames of every size and quality, besides ten thousand other articles too numerous to mention, This establishment is an ornament to the city and is well worth the attention of customers from abroad, as all the goods are-offered atlower rates than they can be purchased in San Francisco, and therefore these gentlemen should be well patronized, as we know they will be. They have completed arrangements for the receipt of everything new in their line to be forwarded as soonas they are brought rom the East, so we may expect to tsee new attractions, daily, at the stores of Messrs.

It was nfoved that the names of A. Olinger, proxy G. 8. Farley, and Hugh O'Connor from Bloomfield, and Michael McCauley as proxy for George Williams of Grass Valley, be stricken out, Mr. King contested the seat of A. M. Walker of Summit Valley, and that portion of the ‘report was excepted, and the report.as amended Was ado’ : . and the fair one. . that King had been there and held! waecting in Placer county; “and . a: . Walker’s meeting was the, right one, . Mr. Byrne. read Hill’scredentials, when. Mr. Cross, of Truckee, made a statement to the effect that Meeker was not a citizen ; that King had registered Oscar Turner. before he was 21 years old; that . Turner wis a Repubhean, and that. King did not swear persons whom he registered. Mr. Byrne moved to lay King’s . mo ion on the table, bat withdrew it . temporarily for Mr, Watt tomake a? statement, in which “he conceded . Hill's honesty of purpose, but con. tended that he ought not to have the seat in face of the testimotry.—Mr-+Byrne then renewed his_motion, and on calling the rollthe vote stood, ayes 38, noes 36. This wasa test vote, . and the ‘announcement of the result was hailed with cheers by the Find. leyites. ~ . A motion to adwjt Hill was then carried—ayes 43, noes 31. Mr. Byrne then offered resolutions against subsidies, opposing national taxation as levied, indorsing Findley for Governor and instructing delegates to use all honorable means to seccre his nomination; also instructing them not to give proxies. A division of the question being called for, the first and second resolutions , were adopted unanimously, Mr, Watt offered an amendment to the third resolution, #0 as to send unpledged delegates. He said that Findley was not the choice of the . Democracy of Nevada county ; that those who went for him supported him only as friends; but that Haight was the choice, and the most, available. The vote was taken on the amendment with the following result; ayes 35, nays 40. So the amendment was lost. The resolution instructing the delegates for Findley was adopted; and the fourth resolution in relation to proxies was withdrawn. Findley being called for, came forward amid shouts, and addressed the Convention, thanking them and defining his position. Mr Watt offered resolutions indorsing Haight's administration, which were submitted to the Convention and carried unaniniously. Byrne moved that a committee of five be appointed to select delegates. Watt objected, and moved that each township delegation be allowed to select one delegate, and that four be selected by the Convention from the county at large. There was some lively sparring, anda vote was taken upon Watt's amendment, with the following result : yeas 43, nays 33. The amendment was adopted, which was a victory of the opposition. The following delegates were elected : Nevada—J.H, Helm..Grass Valley—Jas.K. Byrne. Rough and y—Wim. Coombe. Bri . McLean. a “Meado' one delegate for each precinct, and . one for every fifty votes. cast for . Grant, and one for every fraction of twenty-five votes, over fifty. The .
