THs CouNrY CONVENTION. Under
the code Of rules adopted by the Dem
cratic county convention at New Castle
10 the fall Of 1874 the delegates to the
county convention to be held on the first
Saturday in September should have been
chosen to-day, this being the third Sat-
urday in August. the day fixed upon
by those rules as the time for selecting
the delegates to said convention. It is
not exactly clear whose duty it is, or
that it is anybody's duty, under these
rules, to give notice in regard to these
delegate elections. the presumption be-
ing doubtless, thatrthe party voters will
make themselves 50 well acquainted
with the rules that they will always
bear in mind the time designated there-
in for holding the said elections. As
to the wisdom Of such presumption
We will not give an opinion. There is.
however, some dispute as to the valid
ity Of the rules Of 1874, it being held
by some that they were not fairly
adopted according to the spirit Of the
Democracy, and. therefore, they con-
tend that they are not binding. This
being the case, inasmuch as the provi-
sion Of those rules for selecting dele
gates to the county convention has not
been obeyed. it would. perhaps, be as
we'll to fall back upon the old rules,
which were in force prior to those Of
1874. and choose the delegates in ac-
cordancs with the provision made BY
them. s,.-s.x (. : 80. ~.

tioa to mind bic own business Steven
son. who is > clever pngilist. at once
struck out from the shoulder, and
Thorne was somewhat punished.
Il j. also said tbat Mr.. Dore Lyon,
the husband of Miss Claxton, had
noticed thst Mr.. Stevenson and bis wife
frequently conyersed together. and that
