Is . question. which must Be discussed,
either before or at the Convention. On our
part. We are determined 70 press the matter
to "a conclusion, one way or the other. We
believe a great portion Of the objections to
conventions hasarisen from the adoption Of
this two-thirds rule, and we earnestly desire
its abrogation. It was not originally
democratic practice. Old ROmulus Saunders
Of North Carolina originated the rule to eff
feet the defeat Of certain candidate, and
It has been kept up by succeeding Demo
cratic Conventions without any good and
sufficient reasons. It is not democratic.
The majority should rule. A majority of
the people elect the man. and a majority Of
a convention should determine the candi-
dates. We know of no use it serves but to
bring forward second and third rate men
for party candidates, to the displeasure and
disgust of the mass of the party. It is only
the interest of such men to keep up this
rule. By combining their forces, they can
prevent the nomination of the most popular
men Of the party, until the delegates, wor-
ried out and embittered by the prolongation
of the contest, finally consent to settle
down on some man of little OF no popular
ity, who has scarcely, if ever, been talked
of, and who is little known or cared for.
We write plainly, for the sore is an ugly
one and full ripe for probing to the quick.
It is time there was action in this matter, for
the delegates to the State Convention should
go instructed from the people. VIII not
the democratic press speak outl If any
thing favorable can be advanced for the
continuance of the two-thirds rule, we
should like to see it. Let discussion take
place, if there is a difference of opinion.
Let some good reasons be given for keeping
up this arbitrary rule, which has the con-
trary effect from the one intended, bringing
out the weakest instead of the strongest
men, or else let it be abandoned at once, as
unreasonable, improbable and full of mis-

CONVENTIONS.


We regret to see our friend of the Lam
pasas Dispatch taking quasi ground against
conventions. He is supposing that 'such
unonimity may be arrived at that a conven-
ton may not be necessary" in this District.
This is very unlikely. Without a conven-
ton, the number Of candidates, for the
Senate and lower House in this district,
would surprise the editor Of the Dispatch,
until his eyes opened as big as saucers. Not
that our district contains more men, who are
willing to serve their country for s. day
than any other, perhaps not so many as
some others-it will be so with all through
out the State. Conventions win be an abb
volote necessity, unless we are willing to
incur thcslanger Of another radical Legisla-
ture. or one so nearly balanced as to be use
less Tor good. If several democratic candi-
astes, only two, in fact, run for the Senate

The Pittsburg Post argues sensibly that
something more than the invention of a
patent ballot box is needed to insure the
honesty of elections. 1t says: "It is a
terrible commentary upon the practical
working of our institutions that the pro-
verbal ingenuity of our people has been
directed in the way of the invention of a
ballot box which will be secure against the
knavery of the men who may have it in
charge. 1t would appear as if in our large
cities, so deep has been the decay of NOR
atty, that something Of this kind must be
resorted to in order to preserve even faint
semblance of purity in our elections. Mr..
Marston, the inventor of the patent, has
not got to the very heart Of the difficulty
The election officers may receive the ballots
from the voters and deposit Them safely in
the box, but if, when the time has arrived
to count the vote, the inspector shall read
John F. Hartrantt when Charles r. Bucka-
lew is printed on the ballot he reads from,
and when this is done many thousand times,
we think money laid out to purchase the
patent safety ballot boxes had as wen be
appropriated to some other purpose. Any
measure which may be originated to pre-
serve the purity Of elections which falls
short of the election of honest election Off
GERS, must fail in the accomplishment Of
its purpose. Give US honest and intelligent
election officers and the old ballot boxes
win answer every purpose; with knaves or
fools in charge, the greatest collateral care
viii be Of no avail. "

The idea Of finding subteranean water
by means Of boring in place OF digging was
frst conceived by the Chinese several thou
sand years ago. The Chinese are experts
in the art Of boring wells Of sixteen or
twenty hundred feet in depth, and their
means are very simple and original, con-
sisting Of the heavy boring tool attached
to a rope wound on a windlass, by which
they hoist and drop the tool, penetrate the
soil or rock, removing and hosting up the
debris with another tool. At the present
day artesian wells are bored with tools
pointed with the best Of steel, and these are
firmly fixed on the end Of long iron rod and
worked By horse or steam power.
