LONDON, Sept. %. The excitement
caused by the determined refusal of the
Prussian Government to grant peace,
except on terms of humiliation and fatal
to the republic, threatens to take shape
the most embarrassing to the Cabinet.

counts are so contradictory that the
English journals refuse to publish them
Tours, Sept 26.-There have been
several engagements with the enemy, in
the open country, between Paris and

PLAIN FIGUREs.-In the next column,
under the heading "Our Finances" we
present few plain figures in the way of
statement of the receipts and expendi-
lures of the Government for the last
eighteen months of the reign of Andrew
Johnson, and the first eighteen months of
Gen. Grant. Every man in the country
is requested to give it his careful atten-
ton. 1t is strong argument, notwith-
standing the howlings of the democratic
press in regard to the extravaganza of
radical rulers"

MINISTER TO ENGLAND Governor
Oliver P. Morton, of Indiana, has received
the appointment of Minister to England,
and has accepted the position. Gov.
Morton won for himself an enviable
reputation during the late war, by his
patriotism, and promptness in organizing
and sending to the front troops from his
state. He is now one of the ablest and
truest men in our Senate, of great ability,
and will represent this Government
abroad in manner highly creditable to
himself and the nation.

COUNTY CONVENTION.

y
A Republican Convention of Delegates
from the several Towns of the County and
Wards of the City isto be held at Agricul-
cultural Hall near Bristol Station on
Tuesday for the purpose of nominate
ing candidates for the several Coun-a
ty offices to be supported by the Re-
publican party at the ensuing election
Important at all times that care should be.
taken that good men are nominated, 1t IS
doubly important at the present time
After having had an open unblushing ex-
hibition Of corruption In office, it is we'll
to return to the old inquiry in relation to
the candidates Ia he honest Is he ca
pable2 Is he faithful If he is elected to
office, will he betray the party that cleo
ted him and the trust repo sed in him?
What would be thought of a Governor
who would withhold his official patron
age from the press which supported his
election, and be stow it upon the press
which opposed his election? The univers-
aljudg men of his constituents would be
that he had been bought. The chief ex-
ecutiye offic er of this county is now fill
ling out his second term of office and he
is repeating the.same course of action he
pursued during his first term. Then as now,
and now as then, he has withheld his
official prtronage from the press that sup,
ported his election, and has given it to
the press that opposed his election We
leave it to every one to draw his own in
ferences from these proceedings, and to
make his own commentary upon them
We are informed that there is no little
feeling among the Republicans arising
from disappointment in so much ofthe of
fcial business of the County not being
published in, the Republican paper of the
County. Hence the reason why we write
on the subject We wish to call the at
fention of the Convention to the necessity
of knowing whom they nominate-of
knowing the men they put in nomina-
tion to be honest and faithful as we'll as
capable They should know them to
have in view the good of the people rath-
er than to make merchandise of the office
An officer who will take pay even though
small in amount for his official patronage
is corruptible. An officer who expects
pay is already corrupt. The question
with him is no longer one of selling him
self, but it is, how much can he get for
himself Such an officer is never to be
trusted. He is always ready to sell him
self and always to the highest bidder.
This county has enough of honest, capa7
BILE and faithful men to fill all the county
offices. And among them surely some
one can be found to fill the Office of Sher-
iff. Will the Convention nominate such
men? and especially such a man to the
office of Sheriff? We hope and trust So
Let us have able and good candidates
and then let the Republicans of the coun-
ty give them with the candidate for rep
resentative to Congress and the candi
date for State Superintendent united
hearty and vigorous support.

DEATH OF DR.. RAY.-Dr. G. H. Ray,
editor and part proprietor Of the Chicago
Foening Post, died in Chicago last Satur-
day morning of brain fever. DR.. Ray was
formerly editor Of the Chicago Tribune,

went to Ohio for treatment, but returned
to his editorial duties before he had full
ly recovered. His death is mourned by a
very large circle of friends throughout

SHARP REToRT.-A short time since
the Rev. G. D. Pillsbury, editor of the
Northeastern AdOance, came near being
drowned by the upsetting of boat while
fishing, and in referring TO the accident
Emma Brown of the Wisconsin, Chief re-
marked that Ministers ought to learn to
swim, or else fish only for men," The

for men is concerned, we wish to say we

The Democracy of the First (Wiscon-

resented for four years past by Gen. H. T..
Paine, have nominated Alexander Mitch
ell, banker and railroad owner. It is
hard to see, with the professions of that
party, upon what principle Mr. Mitchell
was nominated. It looks as though the
party wanted candidate who has plen.
ty OF money to pay the expenses of the
canvas, and therefore they took the rich
est man in the district, and threw princi
plies to the dogs Chicago Eoening Mail.
We publish the above extract just to
show the extent to which editors as we'll
