Higgins of gold. The first nugget, which was found by P. L. Wimmer occasioned much dispute, some claiming that it was gold and others that it was not. Mrs. Wimmer, who had spent several years in the gold mines of Georgia, took the nugget and by boiling it in soap, demonstrated that it was a piece of the precious mineral. These two persons made affidavits to the fact as above related before Judge Buster. They declare that the truth of their story is supported by several persons who were present when the remarkable event occurred. These papers are in the office of the Pioneer Association at San Francisco. Mrs. Wimmer has in her possession the first nugget found by her husband. These old people are highly respected by all who know them and no one questions the truth of their statement. Mr. Wimmer was with the party that returned to Donner Lake for the purpose of rescuing the unfortunate people who perished there. He was intrusted with many important missions by Sutter and Fremont. His career has been a remarkable one. If a novelist should search the world over for a subject on which to build a romance he could not find a better one than in the lives of P. L. Wimmer and wife. We learn that Mr. B. W. Tarwater, of this place, will be a candidate before the Republican County Convention for the office of County Auditor, Mr. Tarwater will, without doubt, receive the nomination. He is a capable gentleman, and we are sorry the nomination will be but an empty honor. W. W. Allan, Esq., of the law firm of Allen & Fagan, will leave for Washington about the middle of next week, in the interests of the settlers on the Las Bolsas ranch. We feel assured that the cause of the settlers could not have been entrusted to more capable hands. Meeting of Town Trustees.

The murderers of DeForest, Francisco Arias and Jose Chamalis, were this morning found hanging from the upper cross beams of the upper San Lorenzo bridge, dead, their feet and hands tightly bound with hay ropes. Night before last men were seen in the orchard back of the jail, but as no attempts were made to lynch the prisoners the people concluded that the law would be allowed to take its course. At 2 o'clock this morning the jailer and under-sheriff were surrounded by a body of men. The men broke open the jail yard door and obtained the officers' keys. It is surmised that the prisoners were placed in a wagon and driven to the place of execution, the wagon being driven out from under them after the halters around their necks had been fastened to the beam above. This morning the people gathered in large numbers, but there was no excitement, and while regret was great that lynch law should be resorted to in this law-abiding community, the city in which no one had been executed without the ordinary process of law since 1852, there was a feeling of security manifested, and a general relief that life was no longer endangered by the existence of two as desperate assassins as ever stretched hemp.

It was also considered that if Congress met in October it may remain in continual sessions and finish its business before next Sunmer, so as to avoid the inconvenience of the hot season of next year as well as this. A proclamation calling an extra session on October 15th is to be issued without delay. Financial Quotations. SAN FRANCISCO, May 7.

The great lawyer is charged with attempting to persuade Tweed, Mike Norton, and others to commit perjury, in order to blacken the character of Charles J. Folger, of the Court of Appeals. It is said that there is much excitement in regard to it, and it is not believed that the people will stand it, as it is unconstitutional. It is reported that Governor Villagrana is approaching Lower California with one force by land and another by water to land at Eusenada. Death of a Pioneer. Chico, May 5. J. C.

The Turkish forces appear to be massing towards Silistria and Rustchuk, and this is the direction in which the Russians by their movements would appear to indicate a desire to pass the river, but the Turks seem still content to remain passively on the defensive and make no endeavors at any counter stroke or forward movement, which might aid them to form an accurate judgement as to the point at which the attack may be made. The Russian forces are advancing in a semi-circle toward Erzoum-Alta and Kara. According to information received here, there are no less than 140,000 men conducting and supporting the movement, so that we may be prepared to hear of the first battle having been fought south of Kara, followed by an advance forcing the passes between Getzeheran and Deli-Musate, Minshinger and Hassan Kalep, where the Turks will have to take up a posi- tion for the defense of Erzroum, for if once the crest of the mountains bordering Erzroum is won by the Russian troops, the town it lost. The Russian Commisal of Batoum, Kars, Erzroum and Trebizand accompany headquarters and will be entrusted with the civil administration of the district occupied. Very significant of the thoroughness of the Russian advance so far, is the fact that cash corps has kept up communication with the others throughout. This has been accomplished by the Cossacks. The number of Turkish troops at and between Erzroum, Kars and Batoum amounts to 64,000 regulars, of whom there are 20,000 cavalry and 4,000 artillery. In addition, there are some 6,000 militia and about 5,000 Turkish regular cavalry. Kars is well armed, but the detached forts are badly placed and cover each other insufficiently or not at all. Nor are any of the fortresses well provisioned with the exception for Erzroum, where there is a large stock of rice and Indian corn. Russia Distrusts England. VIENNA, May 5. The official Abend Post's St. Petersburg dispatches say there is great distrust against England. Batteries on the Baltic are being repaired and armed and hundreds of torpedoes are ready for the Gulf of Finland. A number of houses have been reserved for troops. Arrangements to Receive Grant. LONDON, May 5. Arrangements are being made to receive Gen. Grant, towards whom a friendly feeling prevails among all. The Place to Buy YOUR GROCERIES, Hardware, Etc., IS AT H. W. Lake's, J. C.
