COUNTY NoM1NATIoNs.-The Republi-
can County Convention, which met in
this city on Saturday last, nominated a
ticket for county officers, which will be
found in the published proceedings in
another column. A portion of this tick
ct is entirely satisfactory and will receive
our most hearty support whoever may
be the candidates in opposition. There
nre other names upon it for whom we
would not vote under any circumstances.
The Peoples Mass Meeting will be
held in this city on Saturday next for
the nomination of candidates for county
officers irrespective of party, after which
we shalt frankly express our opinion OF
the candidates in the field. This paper
is independent of party but not neutral
upon any question of public interest.

SENTIMENTAL POLITICS.

The Washington Republican is severe on the
House of Representatives for Its course in refusing TO
Dust the Liberal Chairmen OF Committees. 1t points
with pride to tho action of the Senate. which body 1t
thinks carries all tho brains Of the country. But 1t
finds no language in which the pusanimity OF the
House can be described 1t says;

our politics that which we have Witnessed In tho
