A SILLY ARGUNENT.--We notice that
the fact that Hon. Frank Clark was at one
time employed as counsel for the Hudson
Bay Company is being used against him in
the canvass. There may be point in this ar
gument, but if so, we fail to see it. The
business of an attorney is to dei5Od all cases
in which he may be employed, and 2nless
Mr.. c., in the capacity of attorney did SOmer
thing outside of his duty, he certainly is
not amenable to censure. The Hudson Bay
Company, like other corporations, as iudi.
viduals, have legal rights, which it is their
privilege to defend; and in doing this, if
they thought Gt to employ Frank Clark, it
only goes to show that he is a good lawyer,
and by no means proves that he is unfit to
represent the Territory in Congress.

Democratic County Convention

Elsewhere we give place to the official re-
port Of the proceedings of the Democratic
County Convention. As a whole, the Cons
vention was harmonious, aud as the list of
members will show, the Convention was
composed Of the lest men in the county
men who have property and interests at
stake, and who acted with a single eye to
the public welfare. Of the gentlemen placed
in nomination-with the exception Of the
COuncilman-we can truly say that they are
fair representatives of our people, and that
if elected, they will well and faithfully dis
charge the duties that pertain to their re-
spective positions. On the county ticket
appear the names of several gentlemen who
have already been tried and found faithful
public servants. Mr.. Blewett has filed the
position Of Auditor for the term Of two
years, and his nomination by aeclamation
for a second term is the highest evidence Of
the faithlulness and ability he has exhibited
in the Office. Mr.. McAuiff has been the
custodian Of the county funds for some five
years, and'in that capacity has so discharged
his duties as to wiring from both friend and
foe the admission of his unquestioned hons
esty. His competitor for the nomination
was gentleman who is highly esteemed, but
under all the circumstances the Convention
was unwilling to displace a faithful officer
in order to make way for an aspirant whom
they all respected. At the head Of the list
of candidates for County Commissioners
stands the name of D. NJ. jesse, the present
President of the Board, under whose mac
agement the county Indebtedness has been
reduced some six thousand dollars within
the last year. With this gentleman at the
head Of the Board, aided By competent and
efficient colleagues, such as Mr.. Barnes
and Mr.. McGhee, taxpayers have the as,
Surance that the finances of the county will
be managed with a strict regard to economy,
ohN 'h"' "' al carly udJ tuC Su'IO u0ob VI
the county will be extinguished. OF the
remaining gentlemen placed in nomination
for county offices, we have not space to
speak in detail. This, however, we can say,
that they are all gentlemen of good repute,
and that, in every instance, nominations
were made solely with a view to fitness and
capacity. As matter of course, the action
of the convention disappointed the eIpecta~
tions of possibly a score of aspirants who
estimated their claims at a high figure, and
being disappointed, seek to raise. hue and
cry. These latter gentlemen belong to a
class familiarly known as 'sore heads and
after they have made themselves ridiculous
by the exhibition of their soreness, most
likely will subside. On more than one oc>
casion we have endeavored to impress upon
our readers the idea that politics is a lottery
in which the blanks greatly outnurnber the
prises, and that as a consequence all who
venture into the "flthy pool" should be pre-
pared to accept any fate the gods may have
in store for them. In fine, to cultivate a
philosophical spirit, and console themselves
with the hope of "better luck next time"

The SHERIFFALTY.-Theo Office Of Sheriff
must be the great prize iu this county. At
least we infer so, from the number Of as,
pirnntS for the place The democrats have
placed Mr.. HOdgis in nomination for the
position; Mr. Seitel, the Preient incumbent,
is candidate efOrre'election; and now a third
Richmond enters the 6eld in the person of
Dock ThOmpkins, who announces himself as
an independent candidate. 10 addition to
all these, it is understood that the repub-
licans will nominate a candidate, thus max
ing four entries for the Sherif's purse.
Certainly, there is no lack of patriotic eiti-
Isus who are willing to sacrifice themselves
for the public good.
