Tur Democratic County Convention came

TIE Democratic County Convention came
of, at the Court House, in this place, on
Monday last The result is anything but
satisfactory. The two wings of the party
had their respective candidates, and the un'
successful branch speak openly of the frauds
practicea upon them, Notwithstanding the
oath prescribed by the Standing Committee.
Mount Carmel, for instance, polled nearly
four hundred votes, or about three times as
many as that township gave Sharswood. But
then it should be remembered that this
township has always been exceedingly
prolific, especially at the primary elections,
and, as Democrat remarked to us, could
give, q, any primary election, any number
of Democratic votes desired, according to
order. For Congress, G. W. zeigler, Esq,
received majority of 81 votes over Mr..
Reimensnyder. For District Attorney, Jere-
miah Snyder was nominated over VIM. VOL
verton, Esq, by majority of 594 votes
For Commissioner Martin Z. Bucher, OF
this place, was nominated by majority OF
29S votes over Yordy and Gribbon. Fol
Assembly, W. II. Kase, no opposition. Fol
Surveyor, J. K. Francis, no opposition. Fol
Auditor, A. J. Gallagher, no opposition.
For Coroner, John Linch, no opposition.

The nearer we approach the time appointed for

OF their trade. Sir Rutherford Alcock himself dur

men to discuss the treatIes but In despatch which
has recently been published he seems to treat
many OF their arguments with contemptuous
comment. We do not propose to enter into
the merits or the dispute between Sir Ruth
erford and his compatriots, ana have only
alluded TO Il as one indication OF the seeming
reluctance Of the British Minister to ioin serious
issue with the Chinese on the question Of treaty
revision. II IL quite possible that he Is only an ex

have too many clanorous mouths to stop at their
own doors to allow OF more than langud interest
