Republican Congressional Convention.
The radical convention which met at Morris
on Wednesday to nominate q candidate for
congress in this district, to fill the vacancy &C.
casioned by the resignation of the Hon. B. C.
Cook, seems to have been about a quiet and
orderly gathering Is an or1idary Donny-
brook agricultural exposition. Each county
appeared with full delegation, and each
county hada candidate and every delegation,
except that from La Sale, evinced determi-
nation to stick to its own candidate to the
death. La Sale county alone made itself con-
temptible and ridiculous by its divisions.
Among its delegation were Pierce men, Cor
bus men, Snapp men, Hough men, and few
men whom half q dollar seemed large enough
to buy over to any side. The ball opened at
? o'clock and was kept up amid shouting,
screaming, laughter and cursing until ten or
twelve o'clock at night. The Hon. Elmer
(printed ELAN" and "Almah" in the des-
patches) Baldwin had the disagreeable task of
presiding over the untamabe mob. The first
ballot stood II for Corbus, Ii for Snapp, for
Starr, 10 tor Pierce, and for Hough. On the
second ballot La Sale county, which on the
first had voted for Corbus IN body and
could have nominated him if it had stuck to
him, divided all up, and Corbus never rose
above or votes afterwards. Thus the bal
loing went on from to o'clock Pm. and
then from to IL Pm. At the end of the SD
ballot there was grand scrimmage on mo-
ton of DR.. Wylie to drop all the candidates
but the two highest. DR.. Macarthur added in.
tensity to the melee by moving also to drop
the two highest. It took full half an hour be-
fore the tempest could be stilled, when the
balIoting was resumed, and kept up until the
49th ballot, on which Snapp had 81 votes,
Pierc 10 and Starr 7, thus nominating Snapp
The natural feeling on this announcement,
OF course, was one of establishment that such
terrific mountainous labors should bring forth
so ridiculous mouse Of all men to nominate
as successor of Burton G. Cook, Snapp |!
small one horse country lawyer; a pre-
cinct politician of the smallest caliber q man
who, by sheer brass and impudence, forced
himself ytar ago into the state senate, where
he has been the standing butt of rldicule
among newspaper reporters ever since for his
inveterate and illimitable nonsensical CAB
snapp We give it up. None but Mcintosh,
of the Wilmington Independent, can do him
justice. Is there no decent democrat whom
we can force on the track to save the 9th dis
trct from the ridiculc and contempt of being
represented in congress by Snapp?

England is again intensely excited

England is again intensely excited by the
cattle plague. According to official returns
the foot and mouth disease exists in 73 British
counties, furnishing more than 1880 centres
Of the epizootic complaint. The number of
animals suffering is set at $4,000, but the pest
involves sheep and swine, as well as horned
stock, and the loss is probably far greater than
the figures represent, especially as so many
instances are concealed.
