CONVENTIONS.

The COnVentlou thas 70 W
morrow will be composed of the best men
in Shelby county. We have secured the
best of delegates, aud know that they
are representative Democrats of the new
school. A scslawag or two may have
slipped in uuswsres. and to prevent such
8 thing was hard. Some have marked
desire TO run with the current, no matter
whether it be ebbing or flowing.
To bs on the popular side at all times
is the only feeling that prompts fe"
shallow-brain politicians We have IN
our minds eye a certain journalist who
is'of the true Bohemian school, an apt
schoIar, aud is ready to iudorse the creed
of any newspaper that will pay him
comfortable salary. When we were taking
our first lessons in Journalism this extra
ordinary fine bareback rider was then one
of the editors of the worst of carpet-bag
Radical sheets. he has left those favor
tie haunts, and can now be found to make
part of the happy and congenial
family living at No. % Jefferson street.
He was chosen delegate to the County
Convention, which meets tomorrow, and
if not at once discovered on the occasion
will be nssed out by all the delegates be-
fore the hour Of adjournment. Such a
fine body Of representatives, otherwise,
cannot but act harmoniously in the selec-
ton of suitable candidates for the va
rious offices. A matter that should be
considered under the head Of Convention
is that of the election of Judges, that, ac-
cording to the law as it now stands, would
come off in May next. The office OF
Judge is not in any sense political office,
aud party machinery should handle such
with the greatest core. We are very
much of the opinion that convention to
nominate candidates for these offices
would be inappropriate. The press can
make known the relative merits of each
aspirant, and the people may then select
for themselves those whom they deem
most fit to sit on the bench.
We have q holy horror in seeing the
dignity of candidate for Judge lowered
by soliciting votes from peddling polti-
clans. If these officers are to be elected
by the people, they should be removed as
far as possible from the prejudice and
bias Of political partisan feeling. A
mans fitness and merit should be the
qualities looked for, and not mans
popularity with the masses. The
Judge and the legislator are two different
officers entirely, and cannot be deter
mined by the same rules Of pleading
We would go TO the extent Of saying thai
a Judge should not be Radical, for mel
of that class feel themselves so deeply
bound to party pledges as to disregard
what the law Is aud decide causes con-
trary to it What is required is an intel
Iigent, incompatible and high-toned judi
ciary, for 10 such, to o great degree

Special Notices.

Health's Best Defense The weak eateth
herbs" says st. Paul. so that eighteen hundred
years ago the value Of medicinal plants was
appreciated. In the Old Testament botanical
remedies are repeatedly recommended, but in
no passage of sacred history is nan recon-
mended to swallow oalomel. or blue pill. or any
other mineral preparation. The sick were d.
rected to eat herbs to strengthen them. to pu-
rify them, to heal them, to restore them. In
that day the art of ma king vegetable extracts
was unknown. The herbal medicines were
mere infusions.
It was reserved for later age to unite the
sanitary essences of tonic. aperient and anti
bilious roots, banks and plants. with an active
stimulsnt, and thus secure their rapid diffusion
through the debilitated or disordered system.
The browning triumph of this effective mode of
concentrating and applying the virtues of
medicinal vegetables was achieved in the pro-
duction Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Never
before had perfectly pure alcoholic stimulant
been combined with the expressed juices Of the
finest specifics Of the vegetable kingdom.
Never yet, though eighteen years have elapsed
since its introduction, has this great restora
tive been equalled. 1t is taken at all seasons,
in all climes, as the most potent safeguard
against epidemics, as a protection against all
unhealthy exhalations that produce dc bilty or
beget disease; as remedy for intermittent and
other malarious feveis; as an appetizer; as q
sovereign cure for dyspepsia; as general tonic
and invigorant; as gentle, painless aperient;
as a blood depurent; as a nervine; as a cure
for bilious affections: as harmless nnodyne;

A SNAIL Potato BUSINESS. The Mayor
OF Philadelphia has vetoed bill passed by the
Common Council inviting the Seventh regi-
ment of New York to visit the Quaker City,
and one branch Of the Council has unanimously
endorsed the veto. The invitation is. there
fore, smothered. This is q mean piece Of bust
ness at best. We do not, however, suppose it
will hurt our noble boys Of the Seventh very
much. But they may probably remember the
next time they are called upon to protect the
soil of Pennsylvania from an invading foe that
blood is thicker than water, although the
Pennsylvania ''peasantry" did demand of New
York soldiers almost pershing from thirst ten
cents glass for the latter on the occasion re-
ferred to, and that little civility at the hands
OF the authorities Of Philadelphia wonld have
been only cheap way Of reciprocaiing a favo
extended TO them in an hour of peril. Shame

collectors of internal revenue for a gross

Of this it is said, is for uncollected taxes, the
lists of which the collectors in question have
turned over to their successors in Office. This
will make q precedent that the officials must
either collect the taxes or pay them themselves.
We hope that this peculiar operation Of the law

PRESIDENT GRANT still firmly believes in the
ST. Domingo treaty, and will soon send to the
Senate an additional article of the treaty, ex-
tending the time for closing the stipulations,
and statement giving in some sort the views
of the government in regard to the matter.
The President would do well to give full
statement regarding the views Of the govern
ment, as the treaty is one of the most impor-
tant of administration measures, and will only
gain friends by thorough ventilation.
