There are Democratic editors in Maine SO
benighted--yes, benighted-we are charitable
AS to continually quote the New York Sun
as good Republican authority. These gentle
men are equally indignant whether you de.
clare that Andrew Jackson cannot again be
President or that there are good reasons why
JEFF Davis is not a suitable candidate for the
Democracy in 1872. The fact most to be de-
plored is that these editors have class of
patrons that honestly mistake such stupid
imaginings for truth.
The World, the ablest and most couserva-
tive of Democratic journals, says that enc of
the first duties of the Democratic administra-
tlon that is to come, "wil be to clear out the
pestient political library rubbish, Halecks
Hollis, Leibers and Writings" and having
collected them into heap, set fire to them as
beacon 10 the future" If the conservative
World advocates the destruction of the official
literature Of the past decade, will any one be

mocracy which surrendered at Appomattox
will regain its lost ground?

IHE system Of minority representation is
to be tried IN the approaching election for ten
Overseers of Harvard College, and with sueh
an intelligent constituency it will, of course,
be success. The system to be tried is that
OF Mr.. Hare, of England, and is very simple
and effective. and within the comprehension
of great mass of voters. 1t consists in al
lowing each citizen to vote, in addition TO the
candidate for whom he desires to cast his vote
In the first instance, for one or more canJi-
dates, to whom his vote may be given in case
1t is not wanted to secure the election of his
first choice. The voter puts the names of the
candidates OH his ticket in the order of his
preference, and if his vote should not be want
ed for his first candidate it is transferred to
his second, and so on. Harvard IN adopting
this principle has set an example which SINH

New York now may, with truth, be called
the Paris of the New World. 1t is the com
mercial centre, the home of money and of art
in America, and sort of Mecca for pilgrims
in search Of pleasure. 1t also has the finest
hotels in the world. A New York Journal de-
scribes the New Grand Central Hotel on
Broadway, as ''the grapdest hotel edifice on
the Continent" The magnitude Of It's dimen-
sions, the splendor aud perfection OF Its APP
pOintmeuts, and its locality in the heart OF the
metropolis, render it emineDtly worthy OF Its
name the GRAND CENTRAL. 1t IL, without
da,bt the large hotel in the world For near
L. too wears. three hundred or more men were
continually employed in its erection. A gi-
eantc work, for this huge structure swallows
almost an entire block. About two million
dollars were expended to rear this superb edi-
flee. Within its spacious walls are accommo-
dations for nearly two thousand guests, num-
Der unparalleled by any hotel on either hemis-
phere With oil Its magni6cencs, it will be
found a home for its guests. Its convenient
proximity to the principal places Of smuse.
ment, the chief lines of horse cars and stages,
and the most celebrated retail stores, afford Ia
dies the most desirable facilities to do their
shopping. Contrary to general expectation,
but most agreebly to public want, its terms
are unusually moderate, being only from three
| to four dollars per day, according to location
Of rooms. Its proprietor is Mr.. H. Lyman
Powers, the master hotel keeper Of the land.
| A guest of his never fails to esteem him. Tray.
elers can find no better quarters than the
Grand Central. In fact it is already the
Gotham resort of the principal men Of our
