james C. Dobbin, of North Carolina,
the Secretary of the Navy under the late
Administration, is dead. Four months
have hardly passed since General Pierce's
Government was in the asccndency at
Washington, and yet two of its distin-
guished members the Secretary Of
State, William L. Marcy, and the Sec
rotary of the Navy, James c. Dobbin-
are no more. Death has, indeed, made
sad havoc with the members Of that Ad-
mi~nistration. Mr.. Dobbin was formerly
a distinguished member of Congress
from North Carolina and a prominent
member Of the National Convention
which nominated General Pierce for the
Presidency. He received some votes
for the Vice Presidency at the Conven-

Our County Officers.

Much caballIng is now going or
among the several factions of the Black
Republican ranks, as to who shall b,
the men to fill the County Offices, be,
coming vacant this fall. We notice
some two, ifnot three, pricate arrange
ments in regard to the Probate Judge
ship, which are now in process of organ
i%zation, on the sab rosa principle. This
is an Office of much trust and response
biity, much more SO perhaps, than any
other Office in the county-an Office too,
which from its very nature, requires an
occupant of unquestioned integrity.
sound and comprehensive discretion and
of able and unmistakable legal attain
ments, to all Of which must be added
the qualifications and requisites of a
thorough, efficient, and practical bust
ness man. Without these qualifications
and attainmcnts, no man can success
fully fill this Office and meet the wants
Of the people-he is 4 mere machine
a great borc-a nuisance; and we say
to the people of Preble county, suffer
not yourselves to be deceived and cheat
ed in this matter. 1t is a subject that
titdlIy concerns you, and one too, which
it is hoped you will not fail to carefully
examine. No man therefore, who can
not come before you we'll backed up and
endorsed by the qualifications above de-
scribed, should in our opinion, meet any
consideration at your hands whatever;
drop him as you would an Internal ana
chine. We have in our eye some two
or three anxious aspirants among our
republican friends, who are now much
more willing to fill the Office, than they
nave been through their past lives to
prepare themselves for the position, as
an intimate acquaintance with them will
a~bundantly illustrate. We say to the
unsuspecting, be carcfm-be careful IN
he selection Of tbs officer. Let no stiff
starched, empty-headed, shallow-pated,
presumptuous, would-be-leader of a self
styled "better class deceive you on the
one hand, nor no ignorant, ofice-seek-
ing, ncgro-worshipper on the other
Remember, that in the filling of one of
your Offices, you have already been cru
ely deeeived-your rights ruthless7y
tran4Isa upon, by a gang of political
huekstcrs, and yourselves rendered the
common laughing stock of the entire
country. Look for yoursclves-be not
thus again foulIy cheated. As for our
self, we Will vote for no man for this Of
fee who cannot respond fully and with
out any doubt whatever, to the Jeffer-
sonian test: Is he HONEST? Is HE
CAPABLE. We have more to say upon
this subject anon, for We are determined
that9n effort -on our part, shall be
spared to prevent anya all notoriously
incompetent, political hacks and jugg-
lers, from ~ensconsing themselves in this
Office, the highest and most sacred in the
County.
