NOMINATING THE BEST MEN.

IT ia the intention of the democracy Of
Chicago to pu, the very best foo, forward in
the matter of candidates for legislature and
for congress the coming fall. They intend
to add to their ticket whatever strength is to
be derived from high character aud good
ability. Without doubt one of such men q.
VIM. B. Ogden, W. F. Coolbaugh and David
Gage will receive their nomination for
congress, and unless our strongest man is
pitted against him, the republican party
may look for defeat At the polls.- Chicago
Post.
Ths: is Just what the democracy are doing
everywhere. 1t is what they have done in
this county, by nominating R. NJ. Grsnnell,
of Cordova, and Lewis Wilson, Of Coal
Valley, for representatives, against the low,
pettifogging lawyer, johnson, of Port Byron,
and one Morris, of the lower end of the
county, neither Of whom command the re-
specs of their own party. and much less will
they receive it's support The radicals see
the mistake they made in defeating two
good men who were proposed in their con-
vsntion, and nominating these two, and
many concede their defeat even now, just al
the Post comedies the defeat of the radicals
to Chicago.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says that
Schenck will contest the seat Of Col. Camp
bell in congress, on the ground that the
votes of the inmates of the Soldiers Home
in Dayton, who we're not actual residents of
Montgomery county. were wrongtu.y e1
cluded The refusal to receive the vote
referred to, was based upon the unanimous
decision of the radical Supreme Court OF
Ohio, that, soldiers at the Home could vote
only in the counties of which they were
ectuAl reaidanfa.

The Canadians are protecting themselves

The Canadians are protecting themselves
with a vengeance. Publishers have secured
the passage of q copyright law BY which
they can obtain two dollars fine, and the
con6scation of any American book which
they themselves publish, sold in Canada. OF
course this will help the small class of pub
fishers in the provinces to the monopoly ol
books, and to charge what rates they will
but of course 1t will no. be of particular
benefit to book readers and book buyers.

The Quincy Herald, says that under dem
ooratic Administrations from Jackson down
the average cost per capita for carrying on
the government was $l.77. II there IL any
reason why each persons benefit from the
general government is greater, now, and,
therefore. ought to cost him more. let Us
have that reason. Now, taking the present
population at 40 ,000, 900, every soul of them
has 81. 76 to pay, besides bonded debt in
tsrest. If Grant carried on the government
as democratic president did, at $l.77, then
$40, 800, 900 would have supplied him. But
instead of this, $l90,790.355 have been
swallowsd up, and the plundering pack
sctuall demand our thanks for not spend
ing more. But this is not all. The SLIT
per head on the population had little or
nothing added for interest on the public debt,
because the same economy that had carried
on government cheaply had kept the coun-
try out of debt; now the same inordinate
aud unscrupulous extravagsnce that revels
in $l90,O0O,O00 and over, per annun
brought this into the debt that burdens US,
and not the war, in which thousands oi
millions we're actually spent besides what is
owing-enough to have more than paid al
legitimate expenses of the entire
struggle. In question of vicious
and unpriacipled extravaganza, charac

in 1861 practically out of debt and have held
it ever since, the burden of carrying it or
and that of paying interest on the war deb
are not fairly dissinguisbable. What, then
is the whole burden? We will give tn,

ing bullets at an apple on the top of the

passed through Killings scalp. 1t entered
near the forehead, glanced up to the skull

back, directly in the centre Of the top OF
