years, when he was compelled to accept
discharge by reason of i'll health, from
which, VIC believe, lie has not entirely re-
covered. He win make a most excellent
officer.
Mr.. Eastman was also member of
company II, 102d Regt He as well as
our candidate for Sheriff, sealed his de-
votion to his country by his blood; he
lost an arm at the battle of Cedar Greek.
He has been engaged in teaching school
since the end of the war He will make
a most obliging officer
Mr. Nixon, our candidate for Register
and Recorder is also soldier, who, al
though he was fortunate enough to escape
the bullets of the enemy in service of
three years and three months, endured
the hardships of camp life, and came
home with a greatly impaired constitu-
ton. He is admirably qualified for the
position assigned him on the ticket, and
when elected will fill the office to the en-
tire satisfaction Of all.
Mr.. Brandon, our candidate for Com
missioner, is we'll known to the people as
an intelligent, successful farmer. lie
will make safe, and acceptable officer.
The balance of the ticket is equally ac-
ceptable.
10 those who were not successful we
can say that they have our sympathy.
Many of them, we have 70 doubt, will
yet occupy places on our ticket in future
campaigns. Itis quite credltable to them
that they retire with such good grace
Not word ofcomplaint has been heard,
but all cheerfully acquiesce in the action
of the people.
OF the sentiments Of the resolutions,
VIC have nothing to object to- In fact,
they seem to us to be we'll adapted to the
occasion. Frank in their utterances
they are calm and consiliatory in tone
endorsing Congress, they have no angry
utterances against any other department
of the Government. This is the result of
the conviction entertained by some, and
hope, by all, that better feeling is
about to prevail between the different de-
partments of the Government.
Not forgetful of the paramount duty
devolying upon the Republican party, of
sustaining that body (Congress) which
alone carried us through the war that
gave us our existence as nation, all
should, nevertheless, ardently desire to
see the various departments move
in harmony. Present indications seem
to justify the belief that before the close
of the present political struggle, this
happy consummation will be reached
To accomplish this, we trust all lovers of
their country are ready to sacrifice every
thing short of principle-this of course
cannot be given up, l.

The Convention and the Ticket.

We have observed the action of many
Conventions, but never have we witnessed
one that discharged its duties with more
unanimity, than did the convention yes
crday. The canvass for nomination had
been conducted with such fairness on the
part Of the candidates and their friends,
that no bad feeling had been stimulated.
Each recognized the right of the other,
and all felt perfectly satisfied with the
success Of those whose good fortune it is
to occupy place on the ticket.
The contest for Congress had lost much
of its interest, both on the part of the
candidates and their friends, from the fact
that the other two counties of the dis
trict had declared in favor of Mr. Will
liams. Still the people had to make their
choice between the two gentlemen VIII ose
names were before them. And it is wor-
thy ofremark, that during the whole can
yass, not an unpleasant word was h card
by the friends of either as to the OF her.
On the contrary, the general regret was
that they could not vote for both Mr..

that further notice Of him is unnecessary.

questioned integrity, and last but not
