COUNTY N

The Storey County Union Convention
for the nomination of County officers
and q Legislative ticket, will hardly be
held until about the first Of October.
At least it does not seem advisable to
hold it prior TO the State Convention,
which is to be held September 10th.
We doubt not the County Central Com
mittee, which meets this evening at the
Office Of the President, John Piper,
ESQ.,, in Virginia, will give this matter
due consideration. We would suggest
that the Delegates to the State Conven-
ton be chosen in the same manner MS
we're the Delegates on the 9Th Of last
April to the State Conveniently a
direct vote Of the party in each ward
or precinct. This will not only saye
the time and expense of holding II
County Convention, but the proceeding
comes more directly to the voters Of the
party; and delegates so chosen are more
directly accountable to their constitu-
ents for their actions. We have seen
some of the evils of the "oue-man
power" in County Conventions right
here in Storey County, and for the hope
of success of the Onion cause, We do
not wish the same farce repeated. The
power of o free Government lies in the
hands of the people, and not in the
hands of the wire-rulling politicians
and as we know there is Mt this time q
critical point in the future success Of
the Union party in Storey County, we
would warn politicians against trickery
and c0rrnnti0n.

EARLY ON GRANT, AND GRANT
ON EARLY.

One of our Democratic contemporaries
publishes this item Of news from Niagn-
70 Fails
General Early, late C.. S. A., is frequently
visible in the Clifton House, to which he
drives in from his residence at Drummonds-
vile, q town q mile and o half distant. He
likes to meet and converse with guests
/" mailing" from the South. He Is very bitter
in his opposition to Grant for President.
He SAYS Grant has or had no ability what
ever as a General, and has no civil capacity
to fill the Office for which he has been nomi-
mated.
To this the New York SIM remarks +;
$50, Early don't think much of Grant.
We cannot blame him, for their rela-
tions were never cordial after they be-
came acquainted with each other, some
four years ago, when Grant went to
Virginia. Indeed, they rarely met
without. an open quarrel, in which
Early usually got the worst of it. For
example, on the 10th Of May, 1864, they
met Mt Sp~ottsylvania. General Grant,
being very busy on that day, handed
his particular quarrel with Early over
to Winfield S. Hancock. Hancock first
encountered General Johnson, n Of
Early's particular friends, and captured
him and his division, with q dozen or
fifteen anne Hancock then sent this
laconic dispatch to Grant | have fin
ishcd up Johnson, and am now going to
pitch into Early And right furiously
he did it, and though he failed to bng
him rs effectually as he did Johnson,
be handled him so roughly that Early
has never forgotten it. Encouraged by
these successes, Grant, the next day,
thrilled the country with the famous
dispatch, whose echoes still ring in our
ears, Il propose to fight it out on this
line if it takes all Summer Early has
never forgiven Grant for letting Han
cock loose upon him on that occasion,
nor for sending of that Dispatch"

a CATTLE WAR.-A cattle war is
threatened on the borders Of Missouri.
Not n war among the cattle, but among
the owners and drivers Of Texan cattle
and the border Missourians. II seem
that there is a law in Missouri which
authorizes inspectors Of cattle coming
from Texas or the Indian country, to
urn bnck on the road from whence
they come all diseased and unsonnd
cattle, or by virtue of n writ issued by
the Sheriff to have them killed on the
spot. Under the operation Of this law
many thousands Of cattle have accumu-
lated on the borders of the Missouri,
and the drovers are now threatening to
force their way through the State, and
the people of the borders threaten, if
the attempt Is made, to shoot down the
cattle, writ or no writ. The danger of
q serious collision has compelled the
Governor to issue q proclamation warn
ing the drorers and the people to obey
the law.

A RgsoLurroY.-The following reso.
luton, passed by the Union State Gen.
trail Committee at its meeting yesterday,
is a very good one, as far as it goes,
But, like the Blair family, 1t does moi
see anybody up for election, exception
short, we will say, the Blair family
Here is the resolution:
Resolred, That the Union Republican
County Conventions Of this State be recon-.
mended and requested to require q pledge
from the Legislative candidates to support
for the Office OF United States Senator, such
person as shall receive at the general cleo
ton the highest number Of votes for such
office in their county, upon Union ballots
AL ballots to be considered Union ballots
which shall contain the names Of all the
Union nominees for Electoral, State and
Legislative Offices.
This looks all very fair on its face
and resembles the three-card monte
game. Whether designedly or through
ignorance, the concluding qualifications
Of a voter consist Of n bold bid to give
to the Democratic party every county
government, if that party is willing to
trade by voting for the Electoral, State
and Legislative tickets Of the Union
party. The wording Of the resolution
amounts to that-and if it means any
thing, it means just what it says. Why
were not the county officers included
in the above as constituting a featur.
of genuine Unionism as well as the
Electoral, State and Legislative
Offices 2" To us it seems very much
like MS if q wholesale bargain and trade
of every county Office in the State
were up at auction, and that th'
Presidential electors, the four can
didates on the State ticket, and th'
candidates for U. S. Senator owned th'
whole party, and could sell it for thel'
own particular benefit. There is ra'
in the meul-bag.
