County Commissioner.

We hope the friends Of temperance in
Orleans County are fully aware of the
importance of polling full vote next
Tuesday. II they neglect to vote and TO
procure the votes of as many others as
possible, there is imminent danger that
they may be defeated. We are credibly
Informed that a secret movement is on
foot run an opposition candidate, with the
hope to take the temperance people by
surprise. The name of the candidate
has been mentioned to US, but we will not
put it on record, hoping he may meet
with thorough defeat
IL the friends Of temperance do their
duty and their whole duty, there is no
danger; if they do not they may fnd
themselves in the minority. There was
never more need than now Of County
Commissioner who will not evade the law
himself, nor knowingly appoint agents
who will do so. Even with the best
Commissioner that can be elected, there
will be enough, yes, a great deal too much
evasion or open violation of the law
There are men in the county who " fear
not God neither regard man." and who
do not hesitate TO violate the law onenIv
and boldly. Such men would be encour.

An ORLEANS COUNTY DIscoyERY.-
So familiar has the public mind become
with new, and not unfrequently wonder
fol discoveries and inventions, that we
are not expected 10 be astonished at any
thing.
But Of all the numerous improvements
Of the age none has attracted the public
attention SO much as the art of taking
pictures by sunlight. We allude more
particularly TO that branch of it called
Photography. This is of comparatively
recent discovery, and was supposed to
have been brought 20 a very high degree
OF perfection, until we are made to feel
our ignorance of the first principles of the
art by recent discovery that is destined
to produce new era in it. We have
examined some specimens that were
toned by a process discovered by DIR. J.
G. Rutherford Of Derby Line, that sur
pass anything we have yet seen.
1t is claimed by the discoverer that his
process eheapens the toning of photo
graphic pictures 81 per cent. The Sci
entihc American says:-
" This invention greatly cheapens the
process Of toning Photographic pictures
the work is instantaneous a sharpness
Is given TO the picture that cannot be OBJ
tanned by any other method, and the OPP
GRAFTON can be performed in a clear light
without injury to the solution OF the pic
ture."
DR.. Rutherford has obtained a patent
for his discovery. He is a practical
chemist and an honor to our county.

much more difficult to divide the spoils
than to win them, and The party
became full Of disappointed men. These
two things, the absoluieness OF its princi-
pies, and the innumerable multitude Of
It's candidates for office, broke down the
Wing party, and ii died. Peace to It's
ashes
The Republican party must avoid the
rocks on which its predecessor split. II
has one good, solid plank az its platform,
" no more slave territory" and that is
enough. Let If stand firmly and square
y on that. II is living principle, and
will live for many years to come. If
the Republican party puts any old Wing
planks into its platform, it will be made
weaker and not stronger by the opera
tion. The same is true in regard TO
adopting any Of the old candidates Of the
Wing party. Let the dead bury their
dead. The Republican party is full of
live men, men who are able and willing
10 do the bard work that must need be
done TO secure success. Let it take such
men as It's standard bearers, and il will
achieve universal triumph lett take
the fossil remains Of the Wing party,
and it will be defeated and will deserve
TO be. DERBY.

Of AZ a consistent friend of Temperance
by those who know him best. See 10 il
that he is elected by no meagre majority.
We have heard that il has been insinua-

him to be a reliable one, and as the long

TO present him as the standard bearer Of

We therefore deem il incumbent upon

For the Standard.
EDITOR STANDARD The idea in
the last Standard that the Republican
party has other and better things to do
than assume the responsibilities of the
Wing party and pay off its debts, seems
to me eminently correct and judicious
There were two things which ruined the
Wing party, and compelled it to 90 into
bankruptcy. One was that its principles
had become obsolete, not to say dead
The people were tired of hearing about
protection, distribution, and other doc
trines which though once of great i'm
portance, had ceased to be of special and
immediate consequence. The interest in
those things was exhausted, and it was
not possible, by the most diligent appli-
cation of whip and spur, to create any
enthusiasm on behalf of them.
Another difficulty was that the Wing
party had such a crowd of men who
aspired to Office, and had earned the Of
fees to which they aspired, so far as SER
vices TO the party could earn them. But
the Wing party, as national party. was
so rarely successful that very few Of
these men could ever attain TO Office
The consequence was that the party be-
came greatly in arrears, and whenever
il happened to achieve a victory, it was
