NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY, SEPP. 11, 1969. ie. —— Fudicial Nominations. — ' For: Jndges of the Supreme Court. = LORENZO SAWYER, For Judge of the #4th Judicial District. 7, B. MoFARLAND. Toe Next LxeeisLaTuRE.—Next Winter the Democrats will-have legislation under entirecontrol. They have already the State -admitiistration, and will hold the Legislature by a large ‘majority. Sixteen out of the twenty Senaters recently elected are Democratic, and of the hold-over Senators twelve are Democrats and eight Republicans. The next Senate will therefore stand twenty-eight Democrats to twelve Republicans, giving the former a ma~ jority of sixteen out ef a vote of forty. In the Assembly, the Demecrats will 0. C. PRATT 4 A Goop “Prospecr.”—The Grass Valley Union says: We have om sev~ eral occasions, mentioned the quartz claims of A. J. Cook & Co., on Greenhorn. Creek, about six miles from Grass : . Falley. The owners have been engaged ‘UNION REPUBLICAN TICKE®P, in prospecting on the claim during the ‘. ! Sumimer, and lately have been taking . out rock that will be apt to report well «when crushed, to judge from the result ofsome of-it that has been crushed ina shand mortar and was Cleaned up on Tuesday. T'wo shifts of men have been working the claim, and the men on one sh'ft, during nineteen days, Were in the habit of picking out pieces of rock that showed free gold. The other shift paid no attention to selegtions, bat put all the rock in the dump pile. The rock selected was pounded by hand and owners design, du yielded $1,000. The owners are satis~ fied with the return,and expect to make a “bully clean up” when they have a regular crushing. As the claim is a long distance — custom mill, the ring the coming Fall, to put up a battery of their own, as Tux Belgian Government has made a proposition to Prussia which, it seems is likely to’be' accepted, and which, being accepted, will afford a basis for the adoption by North Germany of the Monetary Convention of Paris. This will result in establishing “monetary unity” over the whole of Central Europe, from the Baltic to the Mediterranean, and from the Pyrenees — Polish frontier. + THE Erie canal, a correspondent of the New York Hvening Post thinks, has nearly finished its mission, in view of subsequent improvements, and commerce now demands other agencies which shall secure more rapid transit to commodities, .The railroad is to be the future handmaid of commerce, and with this aid will be worked out the greatest prosperity of the country.

We say costly, for probably more than one sixth of the labor of the United States is ex» pended in the production, preparation, . transportation and sale, to say nothing ‘of the consumption, of whisky and tox bacco. Whata theme is here for our have about sixty oat of the eighty chosen, giving a majority in the lower, branch ‘of the Legislature of forty. On jéint ‘ballot the Democratic majority will be fifty-six.’ Having~such-afull swing, the Democrats will undoubtedly reforms in the ‘State government, and correct the abuses which have grown up with the “black-and-tan” party. We shall expect to see abundance of light work with good wages for the laboring man, the abolition of giant powder and the end of single hand drills. The Chinamen will, we expect, require all the ships in the port of San Francisco to leave the country in, and a law will probably be passed providing for a good bonus for Celestial scalps. Since the Déimdéracy has so bitterly opposed Chinese and negro equality, we expect to have a law making it a criminal of fence to be caught in the company of either, as according to Democratic theory, “equality is catching” in a “white man’s government.” Altogether, we expect the next session of the Legislature will be one of great importance to . the people and the State. Tae Teuvanterec Rarmway.—At last, we are assured this long mooted work, the importance of which, to the American States, can hardly be. over estimated, will be commenced and then be pushed to speedy completion. A N. Y. company, organized under United States laws, with a capital of $18,000, 000, has taken the matter in hand, M. La Sere has assigned to this company the grant made to him by the Mexican Government last Winter. ‘The grant compels the construction of a first-class railroad from the head of navigation of Coatzacoalcos river on the Gulf to the Ventoza on the Pacific. One hundred and forty miles of rails will be required. The Mexican Government grants land for the road and makes otherwise the most liberal concessions in behalf -of -theroad. The liné isto remain open to all the nations ofthe world for the legitimate Qurposes of comimerce. Only the transportation of armies or material and) merchandise contraband of war is prohibited. The route lies through the. States of Oaxaca, Vera Cruz and Tobasca. Lighthouses are to be built at each end of the road, During the progress of the road, a good carriage road for the transmission of passengers and light freights is to be kept open between the termini, and as soon a8 practicablea telegraph line is -to be established. The estimated cost The road will have an important influence in diof the road is $8,823,000. recting and controlling the trade o wellas make other improvements for the more convenient working of the mine. day, adds to the strength of the movement in favor of the postal telegraph ; many Senators and Representatives have promised to support a good bill,. a says the Philadelphia Post, and it is certain that the example of Great Brit~ ain in establishing a postal telegraph system will soon be followed by the ph THE PostaL TELEGRAPH.—Every United States. That the business community begins to understand the reform, is shown by the fact that the’ Boards of Trade of the following cities have unanimously resolved in its favor: Boston; Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans, St. Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati, Providence, Savannah, and Mobile. San Francisco will soon be added to the list. eos BEAUTIFUL CABINET SPECIMEN.— Mr. Biggs, of the firm of Smith & Biggs: : senate eumermaneaee : . a . + has a free bath, which a Price of Admission ! . ao of this city, says the Inland Empire, is}: MoNTREAL ’ ws Pe ident ees i Grea AF wee: an indefatigable searcher after’ nines local paper calle a“ wretched, suicidal. bi This ssitabiisanaa pe ‘NEW, REFRESHMENT BOOMS. “ rals and natural curiosities for a cabilooking place,” 80 rocky that it is a ter traveling thronghout net, and has secured many rare specimiracle that any of the bathers come the Fant, ‘ ceth and N.C.

The other day, while out on his favorite pursuit, he stopped at a shaft of the Virginia mine, and, picking up a piece of stratified slate, struck it, when it split, and lo! a picture of Treasure Hill burst upon his enchanted vision. The summit of Treasure is almost perfectly pictured, the trees are visible on either slope, and two magnificent elk are seen loping down the hill on eitlier side as ifin fear of the advancing. civilization. _ Tue editor of the Bristol (Tenn.,) News says it is very certain that but little of the Confederate correspondence ever fell into the hands of the Federals, and that he saw that which is probably most valuable sealed and placed within the vaults of the Montreal bank not two years ago, where, unless it has been removed within twelve months, it remains, secure against every in~ truder. Tue ANCIENT INHABITANTS OF UTan.—We clip the following item from. the Springfield Republican of August 7th: Professor Scott, of Kentucky, acting on the belief that the mound builders of Ohio and Illinois had another reute to Mexico and Central America, than that down the Mississippi, has for some time past been conducting explorations in ‘Utah, with the hope of throwing light on the subject. His labers have lately been-rewarded by the discovery near Evanstown, Utah, of a mound of extraordinary dimensions, and of as fair proportions as any described by Squier or Davis. The work of excavatien was speedily accomplished, and a vault—was . latd bare eight feet long, three feet wide and * . four feet deep, in which were the skeleton ot & man, a cone-shaped earthen pot, an iron bracelet and two medicine stones, cigarshaped and full of holes. On the right side of the skeleton was found a plate of pure silver the size and shape of an artist's pallet. There is positive evidence that this vault is more than one thousand five hundred years old. The Professor is confident that this discovery, to be followed by others under the direction of the Smithsonian Institute, will establish the fact that the mound builders the plains of the Great West found their way nia. ed great administrative ability and dis— ment of details and made him a necessity in the administration of the War ‘Department under Grant. ease was hemorrhage of the lungs. westernmost counties of that State on the question whether they will unite themselves with the State of Alabama or remain as they are. These counties have about one-fifth of the population of Florida, and cast an aggregate vote of some 5,000. _ Mayor Cole of that city, who has just returned from a trip overland, recom» mendé “as an economical measure, that the Union Pacific Railroad Company lay-up their road for the winter months, as the snow will be so great an obstacle.” located ankle, while, ‘as for diving, ten chances to one but you crack your skull.” who have convoked Councils, and who have reigned while Councils were sit» ting, is ta be placed in the upper hall of St. Peter’sat Rome, where the ap~ proaching Ecumenical Council is to be held.

In each case the effect of the cosmetic was paralytic,; both to the systems and facial beauty of the maidens. Gen. LEE has taken fifty shares in the stock of the Educational Journal in Virginia. He wil) find them more profitable than Confederate bonds. MortTatity amoneé Mormons.—As might be expected, the mortality among Mormon children is frightfnl. The Polygamists are like the old woman that lived in'ashoe,and do not know what to do. with their many children ; at any rate they do not properly care for them. Ofsixty deaths in Salt Lake City ina month, forty-four were children. , Heber Kimball is reported to have. buried forty-eight children out of sixty-three in his collection. One bishop had lost twenty children; another, twenty-eight; another, seventeen. Joseph Smith had six wives, but left only two sons. The death rate among Mormons of all ages is said to be greater than that of this city or New Orleans, and more than twice as great as that ef Oregon.—N. Y. Evening Post.
