The n. Y. Democatic State Coz

-Ine n. L. DemOcatlc State Con-
vention, was held at Utica on Wednes
day the LIST inst. Ex-Gov. Horatio
Seymour presided over the Conven
ton, and on taking the Chair, made
short speech, full Impractical hits
Except the usual trouble in relation to
the admission Of delegate and what
results therefrom, the Convention was
good one, and nominated an excel
lent ticket. The Democracy of the
"Empire State must remember in the
coming election this motto-"United
we stand, divided we fall" and act
accordingly. Victory then will be
theirs. ......

Chief Justice COnkIing.

What has been for months sus-
picion, in reference to the Chief JUS
ticeship, is becoming fixed in popular
opinion as events occur and the time
shortens. The protostations of the
better class Of Republican journals
against such a grave magisterial error
as the appointment Of Roscoe Conk-
ling, supply cumulative proof that it
will most probably be committed,
since a purpose once conceived in the
Presidential mind is very apt to re
main there tenaciously, and to be eX-
ecuted regardless of public shock or
protest. Caesar, as all know, is "a
very obstinate man." The arrange
ment between Grant and Conkling is
thought to be complete. After the
tame spectacle of the Utica Republi-
can Convention, the New York Sena-
tor doubtless considered the bench
his best chance. for he is not a man
to sacrifice everything at once on a
point of capability, Upon the Presi-
dents side, moreover, a judicial leg
acy like the selection of such a pom
pous partisan as Conkling for the
highest seat in the Supreme Court
might be expected, The whole tend
ency of affairs under this Administra
ton has been to reduce men and
measures to the most ordinary level,
partisanship being made to answer for
craftsmanship, and elevation of charac-
ter fitness, training, even requisite
ability entering in no manner what
ever into the qualifications deemed
necessary to fulfil the duties Of posi-
tons hitherto regarded as responsible,
and eXacting exceptional attalnments
or experience.
But even partisanship at times feels
an impulse to break from its poor re-
straints and enjoy the freedom which
inspires action a higher plane. 1t
was therefore hoped, rather than be-
lieyed, that the President would in
this rare instance forget the common
instincts which habitually direct his
public action, and rise to the occasion
which is Of such vast importance to
the country. The chair occupied
with such transcendent ability end
honor by a line of eminent jurists
SHOULD be something more than con
venience for liquidating political OBJ
legation, and certainly demands purity,
dignity and freedom from political
bias. Mr.. Conkling supplies none of
these. His mind is anything but
legal, his learning is VIGOROUSLY de-
ticient, his judicial training is nothing,
and by instinct he is only a cheap,
snowy politician. More vapid speech
es than his own are not made in the
Senate even the house, prolific as it
is in rhetorical inanity, hardly sue
ceeds in equalling the New York Sen
ators narrowness Of thought and fee
bleness of expression. Perhaps these
sympathetic peculiartes commend
him to the President quite as much us
does the anxiety regarding New York
State, which Conklng is assiduously
endeavoring to make politically Sc
cure: but his appointment to the
Chief Justice for any reason would
not only surprise the country, but dis
gust it.-Boston Post.

President Grant had about $4,000

that on the morning of the failure a

CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders Of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases of Consumption,
cured by this preparation, are publicly known,
so remarkable as hardly to be believed, were
they not proven beyond dispute. As remedy,
it is adequate, on which the public may rely
for full protection. By curing Coughs, the
forerunners of more serious disease, it saves un-
numbered lives, and an amount of suffering not
to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptical Every family should
keep it on hand as protection against the early
and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Alice
tons, which are easily met at first, but which
become incurable, and too often fatal if neg
lected. Tender lungs need this defence; and it
is unwise to be without it. AS safeguard to
children, amid the distressing diseases which
bcset the Throat and Chest of childhood, CHERRY
PICTORIAL is invaluable; for, by its timely use,
mutitudes are rescued from premature graves,
and saved to the love and affection centred on
them. It acts speedily and surely against ordi-
nary colds, securing sound and health-restoring
enza and painful Bronchitis, when they know
how easily they can be cured.
Originally the product of long, laborious and
successful chemical investigation, no cost or toll
is spared in making every bottle in the utmost
possible perfection. 1t may be confidently relied
upon as possessing all the virtues it has ever
exhibited and capable of producing cures as
memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.

The chief end of the Democratic
party as it now exists is to keep the
Grant Republicans in power.
We clip the above from the NJ Y,
SIN, and the statement made therein
is false. The Democratic party con.
tains nearly all of the reliable and
combind forces of the country that
are now battling Grants corrupt and
prohigate administration. The Liber-
al Republican vote is small indeed,
compared with the vote of the Demo
cratic party, This statement is back
ed up by the result of the late cleo
tons. If the opposition against the
Grant dynasty could only be united
the things" could be cleaned out, and
the country saved. But under the
circumstances, the Democracy, being
far superior in members, will not
again be lead inlo another disastrous
defeat to please few sore-headed
Liberal Republicans, that are bitterly
prejudiced against the Democratic
party.

AT its old game OF misrepresenta-
ton, the Post this week again goes
back to the Center township delega-
ton In the late county convention,
quotes part Of q sentence from the
ADVERTISER and comments thereon.
Had it quoted the entire sentence its
comments would have been ruined.
This was oil We really intended say
ing but upon second thought will refer
to q single point In this game. the
smallness Of which is only equalled
by its meanness. The Post has before
intimatsd that the ADVERTISER had
some deep laid reason of dark import
for trying to make the people Of the
county believe that these delegates
were men not often called to such al
office by the party, and In this item it
follows the same line saying: "Know.
ling that we could not contradict the
statement before the convention the
"old game Of misleading was COM
"menced, &c. Now, come down to
business and tell what earthly interest
one way or another the ADVERTISER
could have had In wishing to deceive
any one about the character or make
up Of that delegation. You can't do
it; you know 1t 10 not In your power
since no such interest existed, and the
attempt to do % would only more
plainly brand you - dealer In ma
licious and groundless insinuatlons
with the hope Of inJuring those whom
you can not reach BY fair means.
What We first stated about the dele
cation was done upon the word of
others and without thought Of Its
efRect anywhere; and although we
last week admitted that you, Mr.. Post,
would have good claim to be taken as
authority 10 matters pertaining to
Center township caucuses, and that
therefore We might perhaps hnd our
selves mistaken. We have since can
vassed the matter considerably and
dnd that We were substantially correct
ct drst and that You substantially told

STONE MILL.-Nearly everyone in
Cedar county probably knows already
more about the "Stone Mill" Of
Messrs. Shearer 4 Gray than we do
but we must say that on visiting 1t
last week for the first time we were
surprised at many things. Built three
stories of large hewn stone on = natur-
81 rock foundation, there can be no
more neat, convenient or substantial
water Touring mill In this or any
county. The building 10 30 solid that
the machinery under full motion
makes no more perceptible jar, and
scarcely more noise, than . sewing
machine In an ordinary room. One
peculiar feature IL the race, cut from
the head Of the dam some 40 feet deep
through solid rock to the mill. At
the low stage Of water last Friday, the
race contained fully eleven feet at the
gate next the mill. Beside the water
power, steam fixtures are In position
for use should the former ct any time
fail. With such advantages, and the
constant personal attention Of the ex-
perienced and practical proprietors, 1t
10 no wonder that the Stone Mill isa
popular institution.
