Editor Register;
We know a great deal has already
been said, concerning candidates to
fill our various county offices. But
as we have seen no announcement
yet for Surveyor of lands in this
county, we recommend Mr., James II.
Sayrc of our District, for that Office,
Mr.. Sayrc has had seven or eight
years of experience in surveying,
and no doubt is an expert at the bu-
siness. He is Il first class school
teacher, and is now teachingat West
Columbia, this county, He is no
politician; for if he were, he would
be unfit for his present employment
Some time since, we questioned him
in regard to his political views, and
his answer was so indirect that We
could scarcely tell that he is n rein.
ed, civil democrat. We therefore
commend Mr.. sayrc to the very care
full consideration Of the County Dem.
ocratic Convention, as a gentleman
who is well qualified for this office,
and who is strictly temperate and
honest. We have no doubt that he
can be elected to this Office as easily
us any man in the county, should he

In another column we publish the
call for a Republican County Con
vcntion, to be held in this place
Tuesday, April 4th, 1876. The call
shows that the Republicans have Il
very poor organization in this coun-
ty. The Republicans have an organ
in this county, but it is not reliable
when the party want their work
done promptly and correctly. We
also have printed a lot of posters,
calling this Convention. Wcbclicvc,
however, the attempt of the Rcpub'
Leans to revive their party in this
State, which has been dead for 50
many years, will be in vain, and that
their strength in West Virginia will
not amount to much.

An arrangement has been made be-

Tertiary, and the Department of JUS
tice, by which the Federal convicts
from large number of the Southern
States, including our own, will here
after be received into and maintain
ed at our pcnitcntiary. This is a
judicious movement upon the part of
Mr.. Bridges, which will not only de-
fray to large extent the expenses
of our pcnitentiary, but probably con-
tribute a surplus which may be ap-
piled to the completion of the build
ing. 1t is said that in addition to
our convicts, it has capacity to re-
coiye three hundred federal convicts.

The Tammany organization is great
stickler for party fidelity and rules out reb-
els with an iron hand. The Discipline"
Committee is formed for the purpose Of in
vestigating the action and inquiring into the
words Of every suspected member of the
General Committee, and opponents, or even
grumblers, are dealt with sunmarily and
driven from the organization. The doors OF
Tammany were closed against Senator Nor
rissey because he ventured 70 oppose the
reduction of.the city laborers' wages by the
Tammany officials and aided In getting up
demonstration to denounce the starvation
policy. Judge Hogan had to leave the Or
ganization because he ''kicked" against
Congressional carpet-bag nomination in his
district before it was made, but when it was
known to be on the leaders slate. ip many
of the districts the greater portions Of the
delegations were expelled from Tamnany
Hall and other names substituted in their
places because they dared to question the
wisdom of dictators policy and to, express
opinions Of their own.
Iammany cannot deny to the State organi-
organization. The State organization is
justified by Tammany precedents in dealing
summarily with rebels and expelling them
from the State councils. John Kelly, Mr..
Augustus Schell and their followers rebelled
against the will of the State organization and
of the whole democracy of the State
as represented at the Utica Convention
when they went to st. Louis with a
rufianly gang to oppose, and if possible, to
defeat the wishes of the democratic party
unanimously expressed at that Convention.
The treason was the more marked and repre-
hensible from the fact that the Tammany
rebels formed part of the Utica Convention,
and acquiesced in the action of the party
which they afterward opposed and did their
best to defeat. 1t will be retributive justice
should Kelly and his followers be ruled out
Of the next State Convention. Certainly if
rebels, still cherishing treason to the demo-
cratic ticket in their hearts, are allowed to
make State nominations for the democratic
party, while true and faithful democrats are
denied admission to the Convention, the
result cannot fail to be disastrous to the
democratic Presidential nominees.

THE ToMPKISs SQUARE NUISANCE. The
present condition of Tompkins square is
disgrace to the city government Enough
money has been expended on the square at
one time and another to have made it, under
honest and capable management, one of the
most attractive public grounds in the lower
part of the city. 1t is now but little better
than plague spot, full of holes, where, in
wet season, stagnant water can accumulate,
and an inviting field for the operations of
footpads and other vicious characters. 1t is
one of the lungs of the city, choked mp with
dust and filth, breeding disease in the sur
rounding neighborhood. Some person must
be to blame for this. 1t would not take
great amount of money to turn the wretched
square into pleasant green spot, where the
inhabitants of the close tenement houses
might drink in health and strength. The
people are not parsimonious and would not
begrudge the appropriation needed for that
purpose. If we had capable government
we should have no such public nuisances ss
the Tompkins squares and Harlem fats of
the city.

blood of Custer and his brave three hum
dred."
The sun of General Grants administra-
tion seems to be going down in an eclipse.
Alike in its earlier and in its later stages, 1t
is an expression of the personal humors OF
the President but his earlier humors were
more amiable and kindly. So long as he
remained the chief object of popular favor
he had hearty enjoyment of his POSITION
and it seemed to be his wish to make every
creature connected with him by blood, mar
riage or friendship the sharer OF his good for
tune. This showed an inadequate sense OF
his great public trust, but if it was selfish 1t
was an amiable selishness. Since the dis
appointment of his cherished hopes of a
third nomination his temper has undergone
change. The spirit of indulgcnt nepotism
has been supplanted by fell spirit of re-
venge, and his chief delight seems to be In
Furnishing all who have been in any way in
strumental in thwarting his hopes. He de-,
graded poor Custer because Custer testified
to the truth Of the charges against Belknap.
He insisted on the dismissal of Yaryan be-
cause Yaryan was active in ferreting out
the whiskey frauds which came so near lodg-
ing Babcock in penitentiary. He is taking
steps for tho dismissal Of other officers who
assisted ex-Secretary Bristow in his success
full efforts to expose and punish official
peculation and thereby made it i'm
possible for Grant to lay his hands
for third time on the coveted
prize. Whether in good humor or in bad
humor President Grant is equally selfish and
equally oblivious TO the obligations of his
public trust; but his good-natured nepo-
tism was not SO discreditable as his ILL
natured spleen and petulnnce against all who
have obstructed the path Of his ambition
His kindness to the Dents seems better tAan
his relentless malignity tou.za valuable
and truthful officer like Custer.
President Grant. is ending in worse
spirit than he began, and the country, &C
cordingly, awaits with deep interest the let
ter of acceptance of Mr.. Hayes. Will he
indorse this administration, or will he boldly
wash his hands of it? The citizens of this
, Republic are anxious to learn whether Grant
ism will end with the retirement of Grant,
or whether Governor Hayes, if elected Presi-
dent, will sail the ship by the same compass
and the same political chart. The country
will stand anything rather than prolonged
reign Of Grantism. On this point Governor
Hayes must leave the people in no doubt.
If he lacks the courage or the sagacity or
the independence to tell the country une-
quivocally that he will put the administra-
ton on q new course he will miss that 'tide
in the affairs of men" which leads on to for
tune.
