a few days since we gave an extract from a
Bath letter in relation to. the caucus in thai
city to select delegates to the County Conven
ltion. Since then we have been, called upon by
gentlemen from that city, men long connected
with the Republican party, whose shonestyol
Yeracity we should Be very unwilling to dis
credit, and they assure us, nom their own per-
sonhl knowledge, that the caucus was called
and conducted fairly and according to usage,
and that the representations published in the
Press were grossly inaccurate and unjust.
There is no denial that Democrats went iii
{ and voted for the successful ticket, but they
say it is equally true that some Democrat.
voted and others were urged to vote for the
unsuccessful ticket; that, on both sides, vote
were thrown by persons who probably had nc
right to vote, butno exceptions were taken stu
the fairness Of the caucus until the result was
known. They say further, that the present
dissatisfied parties had the organization !; that.
tle chairman of the caucus and the committee
to receive, sort and count the vote; were men
who voted for the unsuccessful ticket, and yet
they did not object to votes, or challenge them
when put in; that, in small hall, with znnorey
present than could conveniently get in, it was
impossible to conduct the caucus more f fairly
without check iist, and this was not proposed
by any Dne.aua ssss o5 ii bHa Tsb7o Of se1n3aai
They further say that the same 4 rules and
regulations were observed in all respects that
have governed all preceding cauchses, and
) that there is no reason Cor setting it aside or
for boiling the result 4 M DKAA TX
q, In addition, to all these statements, they
further insist that, If ali the improper votes
had been thrown out on both sides, the result
could not have been different J. for the success
full ticket would then have been elected bySat
least fifty majority. = +.
~ We are, sorry to see these difficulties. and
this heated personal feeling among our friends
in Bath. 1t is discreditable to the city, the
county and the State. Our friends there must rsa
see, too, how delicate matter it is for us to
interfere, in the Press,with matters of q fscaF

KISSING IN FORMER TIMEs.-Thrce for
eIgn travellers in England have pleasantly
remarked upon an old custom which would
now be considered more honored in the
breach than the observance. The custom
alluded to is that Of kissing. Chalcondyles,
the Greek, who visited our respected an
cesters between four aud five centuries ago,
was highly surprised, delighted, and edited
with this novel mode. He says Of it-"As
for the English females and children, the
customs are liberal in the extreme. For
instance, when visitor calls at q friends
house, his first act is to kiss his friend S
wife; he is then duly installed guest
Persons meeting in the street follow the
same custom, and no one sees anything
improper in the action" Nicander Nucius,
another Greek Traveller Of a century later,
also adserts to this osculatory fashion,
'The English" he says, manifest much
simplicity and lack of jealousy in their
habits and customs as regavds females; for
not only do members Of the same family
and household kiss them on the lips with
complimentary situations and enfolding
of the arms round the waist, but even
strangers, when introduced, follow the same
mode; and it is one which does not appear
to them in any degree unbecoming." The
third commentator is Erastus, and it is as.
tonishing how lively the Dutchman becomes
when expatiating on this ticklish subject.
Writing from England to Andrelinus in
l499, he says, unctuously-"They have a
custom. too, which can never be sufficiently
commended. On your arrival, you are
welcomed with kisses. On your departure
you are sent off with kisses. Do. your
guests depart, on distribute kisses among
them. Wherever you meet them, they
greet you with kiss. In short, which
ever way you turn there is nothing but
kissing All /! Faustus, If you had once
tasted the tenderness, the fragrance OF
these kisses. you would wish to stay in
England, not for ten years voyage, like
Salons, but as lorg as you lived"

right, but . new conner doesn't see it 50
quickly as one who is blessed with second
sight. Civil law is worth as much to you
here as q pinch Of snuff, and even At the
present price Of tobacco, snuff by the

substitution of the bayonet for the ermine.

from their homes and then give them no

if an act of "extradition" would some day
be passed by the municipal authorities.

received letters from him as he journeyed

his prospects. So he travelled on until hs

was able to say that he had found his FL
