CoNGHEss.-The selection of suitable
candidate, in this Congressional District, is a
duty that should be carefully considered. This
district is one of the doubtful ones in this
State, and unless we make determined
effort, by placing in nomination a man
who will be an available candidate, one whose
! antecedents are satisfactory to the whole
Republican PARTY, we may lose this Congress
sional District.
We believe it not to be conducive 20 the
interests of the people, that delegates to the
| Congressional conference should be instructed
for whom they shall vote. If this is car
ried out, the viii Of the people may easily
/ be defeated and unscrupulous demagogues
| secure the nomination. There are few as
/ pirauts for Congress, but who, by corrupt
means, may secure d County Cougeu ton
/ to speak IN his favor. Therefore, the Con
! gressionai Conference should be untram-
meled in its selections by previous insruc-
| tions. 1t may be necessa.y !, when the diff
| ferent delegates meet, to set aside a man
whose devotion to the interests of his party
entities him to the nomination. and select
a more popular man, one whose voice is
strong with the people.
! The Conference body should to some
extent, be governed by the nomination of
the Democratic party Should candi-
date be selected by that party, VINO is very
popular with the people, and would be
able probably to influence some Republi-
can voters, he should be matched by a man
who could gaiRsay that influence.
/ The Democratic party will select its most
| popular man, as they are determined to
carry this district, and for that purpose
money has already been promised by the
/ State Central Committee Of that pas ty,
for election purposes. IN al probability
/ George A. Smith, of our town, will be their
candidate.
Shouldhe be the nominee Of their party,
they viii have selected the most popular
man, before the people, in the District. Let
US exercise good Judgment in the selection
/ Of our nominee, so that the viii of The people
may not be defeated by the political trckery
Of unscrupulous demagogues.-F Fulton Re

PEEsoYAL.-The Bloody Run Press, we
learn from its last issue, based its allusiou to
our want Of respect for Bloody Run and its
prosperity upon a matter altogether person
al If we had known that the prosperity -
/ Of Bloody Run depended upon the establish
ment Of the Press, we might have been led
/ to regard the investment in another light.
As it was, we were not satisfied that It would
! pay, and in giving such an opinion we had
before US the experience of every individual
in the couatry, who has attempted to sustain
q newspaper in village of less than thou
sand inhabitants. Bloody Ran may prove an
exception to the rule; we hope, for the sake
Of our friends of the Press, that it viii.
4 They ought to know by this time whether It
! pays them or not or whether it will pay at
( the end of the year When we learned that
one, whom we had learned to regard as a
iead, intended, without any knowledge Of the
/ business, to embark in such an enterprise,
aud when requested so to do, we gave our
views, as friends and gentlemen, in regard to
/ the project, and because our views, based on
| long experience, did not coincide with those
/ who had determined upon the enterprise, the
common courtesy, which should always char
acterize gentlemen, is violated. We have
always wished the gentlemen who control the
/ Press well, we do SO now, and for this rea-
son we ivised them not to invest in au en-
I terpIise that was, at least, doubtful expert
ment; one in which they ought not to lose
money. We believe when the establishment
/ Of newspapers is necessary to develop a
potrion of country, or to further political
ends, that those who viii be most benefited
By such an enterprise should furnish the
where wilhal to buy and run them, not those
who car receive very little benefit and who
have no money to lose in mere adventures.
| The TABLES TuRNED.-The Deputy Sheriff,
/ Of neighboring county, arrived here on
Monday evening last, IN pursuit of three
prisoners who had escaped jail. They were
all accused Of feIonious crimes, and a reward
Of Eve hundred dollars on the one, and one
hundred dollars on each of the others was
offered Cor their apprehension. On Tuesday
morning, after posting bills announcing the
reward and giving description Of the crimi.
nails, the deputy proceeded to - get drunk.
This he most successfully accomplished, and
became in a short time, both noisy and iutol-
erably insulting, and instead of arresting the
escaped prisoners, was himself arrested BY
Constable Gephart, and placed in jail for
tourty eight hours, in order to have ample
time to get sober and become able 10 attend
TO his business. As far as We can learn,
nothing has been heard Of the escaped Grim
inals being in this neighborhood.
