them at Syracuse. All these and other sim ar argu-
ments were disregarded by the radical portion OF me
committee. protracted and spirited discussion
ensued and continued for a couple Of hours. Ths
radicals announced their determination 10 adhere 20
the system adopted last year. They Were opposed
to any change. They felt az strong a. their Seward
brethren, and therefore demanded that two delegates
should be the number-one from each section Of ITO
party. After wearisome debate, resolution was
offered. to test the sense Of the committee, which
resulted in victory for the radicals This Il defeat
Of Seward amongst his own friends here AZ the seat
OF the regency at the foot Of their political altar.
II was the first strike for the nomination for tho
Presidency and being decided failure, must hayo
its corresponding effect throughout the sta,e. AZ
IL last year. it will be this year. The radicals
will control the State Convention, and dictate tho
TO pursue and the candidates be presented.
IL may be, however, that they may prefer 10
stand aloof, and permit the Seward section
to pursue their own course with regard 70
policy and candidates Certain indications seem
now 10 point In that direction. Many Of the leading
ganization IN this State in which they stand ready
to participate. They can now fully and freely ha--
monize with Weed and Seward, to whom they have
las banner 20 be bosted in this State. They aairur
that large majority Of the Buchanan democrats
are at heart Douglas men; that the stand taken oy
regnty and the peoples rights in Kansas matters e
the true democratic Cincinnati platform doctrine
the same as was enunciated in Buchanans inangp-
ra-and sooner or later that must become the popa-
lar doctrine in the country. Again, the radicals al
lege that IL the State ticket IL not constructed "a
suit the Weed section, IL will be again stricken
down by them, AZ dercely and enectually az Mann,
Hogeboom K Co. were in 1857.
Governor King will appoint George Geddes of
Onondaga, Canal Commissioner to Ill the place
until January next of Mr.. Whallon, deceased. Mr..
g. was the republican candidate at the last election
and was defeated by Mr.. Jaycox. He has been en-
ployed two or three years in draining the Cayuga
marshes, but made very little Roadway in draining
the marshes, though more successful In draining
the State treasury. He will also be their candidate
on the State ticket az the next election.
Amongst all the hair splitting decisions ever made
by learned judges on the bench, none seems more
preposterous 70 common sense than the legal rigma-
role put forth by Judge Hogeboom, of this district
in the State paper afhir. Thurlow Weed claims
that he holds the contract for publishing the legal
notices under the law of 1884 until that law IN re-
pcaled although the time for which he was appoint
State Offices renewed the contract under the Isw
with CoBistock, Of the dAas and argus. Mr. Weed
appealed TO the Supreme Court for an Injunction re-
straning Comstock from publishing these notices,
contendng that the State officers were not autho-
rized 10 make said contract. After two or three
months deliberation, the Court, through Judge
Hogeboom, rendered an opinion. They declare they
will not enforce an injunction against the Atlas and
argus, but still decide that the Journal ~ the State
paper, and will remain ~ until the law OF 1854 is
repealed. The Court permits the former paper 20
continue 10 publish the legal notices, sanctions
such publications, refuses 70 prohibit IT, and still
declares that u Is not the State paper; and the
learned Judge wsdes through thirty or forty pages
Of foolscap without deciding anything. Dad his

eomnodate and please both political papcrs,
Verify, the people have reason 10 alter the
way OF manufacturing Judges. It " per-
tinent 10 state, in connection with this subject,
that Messrs. Weed n Go. have caused an Injunction

hbitDg him from delivering any letters directed TO

reach the conduct Of Postmaster who is acting un-
der the authority Of the Post Office Department OF
the general government. II Judge Hogeboom can
wrest power and authority from Postmaster General
we are upon the point of having q serious conflict
between the authority Of the State and The general
government We unfortunate laymen unread in the
intricacies and wire drawings OF Judge Hogebooms
law, need to be enlightened upon this point, as We
