BOSTON, Oct. 8, 1871.
The fall meeting at the Mystic Park began this
afternoon, and will continue four days. The at
tendance was very good for the opening day, not.
w1thstanding the weather looked very much like
rain. New York was well represented by her proml-
nent turfmen; SO were Providence, Hartford and
other New England cities; and two very excellent
races were on the card.
u G THE FIRST RACE A
was that for three-minute horses for $4,000 In
greenbacks, and was called at two O'Clock. There
were eleven entries, viz:-G. g. Colonel Maynard,

ing record of 2:421z In some country town IN New
York State two or three years ago. and he started
under that protest. Lucille the fav0rite in the
pools, and after she was left out Joe sold over the
field.
In the nrst heat Lady Emma, Shot and Harvester
did not appear, and the pole was given TO colonel
Moulton. Thatdid him no good, however, for i'm
mediately on getting the word, Joe went to the
front, followed by Ed Eaton, Camars, Moulton,
Steyversan, Castle Boy and Lucille, and the pace
was too fast for some OF them, and two or three
went to the rear, where they remained the balance
OF the heat At the quarter Eaton went to the 'front.'
and kept there until they reached the stretch when
Joe went to the front and left him two lengths In
the fast time OF 2:25il; Steyversan and Colonel
Maynard dIstanced.
In the second heat Joe took o lead which he kept
to the hail. in ll1X, when Eaton took 1t from him.
Moulton and the Boy kept in the rear while the
other four did the trotting and very exciting race
It proved to be between the other four, Eaton
having taken the pole just after passing the half
Lucille, Camars ana Joe giving battle to Eaton and
beating him out, Joe winning by half length In

The third heat was only repetition OF The second,

scioto valley 1saai Road.

We find the following telegram from
Chillicothe, under-date of July goth, to
the Cincinnati Gazette:
can important meeting was held in
this city to day in the interests of the
Scioto Valley Railroad. Incorpo-
rators and other prominent citizens
were present from all the counties on
the line A considerable amount OF
the stock is reported as already sub
scribed, and the entire amount necessa-
ry to secure the organization is pledg-
ed to be raised within the rext three
days. The road runs down the Scioto
valley from Columbus to Portsmouth.
The building of the road is now con-
sidered certain" acr a, ssz
We sincerely hope the Valley Road
will be built The Scioto valley from
Columbus to Portsmouth is one of the
finest agricultural sections of the West
and the wonder is, that with all its
wealth and immense resources, a road
has not been built long ago. =
There is another section of the State
that is equally needy of the means
through which to reach a Northern
aad Eastern market, and that is from
MaysvilIe to Columbus. through Rip
ley, Hillsboro, Washington, Bloom
ingburg, Mt. Sterling, to Columbus
This road would command a vas
amount of business from Kentucky
and further south. We hope to see I
road built upon this line.

= George W. McCook, the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor, was a
member of the Democratic National
Convention, at Charleston, in 1860,
and during the discussions of that con
vcntion expressed the wish that the
party might be. bound to n resolution
"that Great Britain owed it to the
United States to return all fugitive
slaves" The Democratic party had
already fully committed itself to the
idea that southern Shareholders were
rightfully entitled to press any north
erner into service as a slave catcher,
but this was not going far enough in
the Judgment of McCook. He whold
have compelled, we presume by force
of arms if necessary, the rendition of
all fucitives to Canada also, and even
have incurred the risk and ravaee Of
war with Great Britain rather than
not TO have forced the painting fugitive
back to servitude. A statesman ready
to go so far as this to placate the late
slave masters would scarcely hesitate
now to compromise away or nullify
those great charters of freedom, the
XIVth or XVIII amendments, should
the southern wing of this party so de
mand. The people of Ohio should
take care that by no act of theirs shall
the opportunity to accomplish this
mischief ever be afforded.-Delawar

The Grand Jury System.


They have made an advance in
Wisconsin, that is worthy of imitation
by every State in the Union. that is,
they have abolished the Grand Jury
System. It ought to be abolished every
where, and in all cases, unless it should
be in cases of charges for commission
of the highest crime known to the law
Grand Juries in miEor offences are
nuisance, and ccst the people an i'm
mense amount of money, and it is
time the system was abolished, or at
least be confined to capitol crimes ;
and should the people of Ohio, at the
next election, express themselves in
favor of calling a Constitutional Con
vention, we. hope the Convention will
attend to this matter. What is the use
going way round through a Grand
Jury to determ inc whether man may
be tried for the commission of a pet
ty larceny, an assault and battery, bur-
glary or for violation of the liquor
law? 1t is a relict of old fogyism that
ought to be abolished, at least such
cases as we have mentioned above.
A case before a Grand Jury is i'm
perfectly examined on only one side
and ve-dict found, and the case goes
into Court, and the whole process ol
law gone through with, in nine case;
out Of ten when the other side is ex
amined there is no real testimony
against the person charged in the in
dictment, or at least the evedencc
against him is of a meageEcharacter
then dismissed, and somebody has tc
pay cost.

= There is very serious political
significance in the New York riots
Those riots expose to the country in
a ghastly light the Democratic mis-
government of tho great city. The
material of which the immense Demo
cratic majority in New York is largely
composed, is made disgustingly prom
inent. Notwithstanding Governor
Hoffman's eleventh hour proclama
ton, the feeling of indignation and
apprehension as to the condition of
the great city that is universal through
out the country, is intensified in the
rural regions of the State of New York.
The Democratic Ring is held respon-
sible, and that properly. The Demo
cratic party in New York is we'll un-
derstood TO mean the Tammany Ring.
This bloody riot, under circumstances
disgraceful and humiliating beyond
precedent, follow closely the expos
ure of the alarming financial condition
of the city. More than one hundred
millions of dollars have been spent by
the municipality within two years
| This is not by any means an encour
| aging symptom of the advantages ol
Democratic fnanciering. In brief
New York, heretofore in all candid
calculations put down for the Democ
racy in the next Presidential election
is now a doubtful State, with the
chances in favor of the Republicans
If it had not been for H Hoffman' s proc
Iamation the State would have beer

Republican PRIMARY Election.

Republican Primary Election.
:; The time for selecting candidates for
the various offices to be filed at the
approaching annual election is near
at hand, and it is necessary that the
ticket should be made up of good mem
men who are honest, faithful and ca
pable. And in order that the fullest ex
preston possible from the people may
be obtained in relation to the choice
of candidat es, it has been decided to
refer the selection Of candidates TO the
voters themselves, where every one Of
them through the primary ballot 6o1es
may speak for himself. or course
there will be difference of opinion in
reference to candidates for nomina
ton, even where the candidates are all
good, competent men, but it is to be
hoped that when the people have made
n choice of candidates and placed the
ticket before the people, all true Re
publicans will unite in giriug the tick
ct full and sarty support at tue. cleo
ton in October. The object of nOmi-
mating conventions or primary cleo
tions is to ascertain as nearly as prac
ticable, who the greatest number OF
the party want as their candidates, and
to compromise differences of opinion
in relation to candidates so that the
strength of the party may be consoli.
dated upon the ticket. -
Now, as it has Leen referred ito the
Republican voters of the county to Sc
lect the ticket through the medium o.
primary elections in the several town
ships, we hope they will turn out to
the elections. Let us have the fullest
expression possible in the formation
of our ticket; aud when it is made NJ
let us concentrate the full force of the
party in its support at the annual elee.
ton. Let no one cast his vote at the
primary election with men al reserVa
tion that if his particular candidate OF
candidates harpen not to be the sue
cessful competitors, he will not vote
the ticket nominated, or will give it bu
cold and Indifferent support.
In order to secure full and united
vote Of the Republican party it is nee
essary that we should have a gooo
ticket, and there is no good reason
why we should not have it.
Heretofore we have heard som,
complaints that these primary cleo
tions were not well attended, and tina
therefore the choice Of candidates wa
made by but few of the voters of tn
county. This should not be so. TIL,
voters should turn out in good earn
est and make choice for themselves
or if they fail 10 do it, the fault is thei
own, and they should not complain o
others for not doing what they hav
neglected to do themselves.
Fayette is comparatively an oil,
county. The people are pretty gencr
ally acquainted with men who are like
ly to be candidates for official stations
and they should be permitted quietl
to make up their own minds in the sc
lection of candidates. All that seem
to be necessary is for the people to G.
to the primary elections and vote 70
just who they wish to put upon tn
ticket. Go and take your neigbbol
and let us have a full and unbiased eS
preston of the Republicans upon tn
choice of candidates, and all will
well.
