COUNTY CONTENTION

COUNTY CONVENTION:
AS will be seen from a call at the
head of our columns, Republican
County Convention will he held in
Worthington on Saturday next for the
purpose Of choosing two delegates to
the Representative District Convention
to be held at Heron Lake OH Tuesday
next, and also to nominate candidates
for county offices to be voted for at the
ensuing election, as follows: Court
Commissioner, County Surveyor, Cor
oner, County Attorney, and County
Commissioner for this (2d) district.
The offices to he filled tbs fall are of
no great Importance, but we suppose
the slate is made up all the same. It
remains to be seen whether the people
take enough interest in the business to
wipe off the slate and nominate ticket
to suit themselves. nearly all of the
Iowa papers we find announcements
something like the following:
Editor of -- Please announce the
name OF the undersigned as a candidate
Tor the office OF --, subject to the
decision OF the Republican County Con-
vention.
If such practice were adopted here
abouts the people would stand better
chance of having a voice in the nomi-
nations.
Notwithstanding the fact that last
year there We're twenty nine Republic
cans and one Democrat in the Vermont
Senate, and in the Lower House there
were IT'S Republicans, and 81 Demo-
Gratis, while this year the Senate is unan-
imously Republican, and the House is
POS Republicans to 81 Democrats, still
the Tilden papers assert that the Ver-
mont elections did not turn on a ques-
ton of majorities, and dispairingly
claim ''great victory.'' A victory
similar to the one they will have in No
vember.
Col. Ingersoll says the Democratic
party with the hungry, starving eyes of
a wolf, has been looking in at the Ma
tional Capitol and scratching at the
doors of the White House for Is years.
Occasionally it has retired to some con-
venient eminence and lugubriously
howled about the constitution. It's
record is all blot, and blur, and stain,
and treason, and SANDER, and maligni-
ty, and it asks you not to read q word
of what it has done but be kind enough
to take it's infamous promises of what
it will do.

One of the latest reasons we have
seen for supporting Tildn is, that he
will reduce our taxes because he re-
duced his own!

Benton vs. State. Appeal from
 Pulaski county.
 Appellant was convicted of murder in the first degree, and appealed. Many errors were as signed, which are sufficiently in dicated by the abstract. Opinion by Chief Justice English.
 ABSTRACT.
 It is not error in the jndge, in a case depending on circumstan- tial evidence, to charge the jury that if all the facts and circum stances proven convince them, AS MEN, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the defendant committed the crime, they may find him guilty, if the other instructions show the intention and meaning of the court to have been only to show the degree of certainty which their minds must attain, acting as jurors upon the evidence.
 It is in the discretion of the court to allow or refuse to the jury the privilege of taking with them the written instructions on retiring to consider of their yer dict.
 In case of an indictment it is not the duty of the court, in charging the jury, to explain the whole law of the subject. It is sufficient to charge only so much as the evidence may apply to; and if parties desire further instruc- tions they must move for them, and thus raise the question.
 Exceptions to charges contain ing distinct epunciations should not be general, but specific, point ing out the particular parts to which they apply.
 The daughter of the prisoners  wife had testified against him. Held incompetent for the defend ant to prove by another witness that the prisoners wife was angry with defendant, and had said in her daughters presence that she would send her to testify against him. The Twill of the mother will not be presumed to have af- fected the daughter, who could only be impeached by contradict ing her, or showing ill-will on her own part for some particular matter.
 One who has formed his opinion from conversation with a material witness, and reading the testimo- ny before the coroner, but who adds that now he has no such opinion as would prevent him from trying the cause impartially, may be taken by the court as a juror without any abuse of discre- tion, but it would be safer in all such cases to reject.
 And, even if the ruling of the

 THE STATE BANK oF AKKANsAs.
 Commenting oa the bold and truthful words of Governor Yell Messrs. Gouge and Rutherford say:
 1t might be supposed on read ing thesc eloquent remarks, that Governor Yell was writing the history of community number ing some one CT two millions, among whom paper money banks had been in operation for at least half century. But he was writ Ing the history of 2 state, whose whole population, according to the census Of 1640, white and black, male and female, old and young, amounted to only 97,574, among whom paper money banks had been hardly three years Tn operation. The governors 5 views were not acceptable to the Cen eral Assembly; or at feast to part of them. In their opinion the fault was, not that there was too much, but that there was too little banking. One of their first pro ccedings was to institute an in quiry why the branch at Wash iDgton had not been put into ope- ration. To this reply was, that the bonds intended to serve as capital for that branch (s300,000) though duly issued, could not be sold; and with this reply they had to be satisfied"
 Before adjourning, the lcgisla- ture passed "an act supplementary to the act incorporating the Bank of the State of Arkansas" ThlS, after making considerable reduc tions in the salaries of the officers, provided that no president or di- rector should be indebted to the institution, as principal, in a greater sum than s3,000; nor as security, in greater sum than 5000. It further provided that the governor should have author ity to appoint one Or more com mIssiOncrs, not exceeding three, whose duty it should be to exam inc, from time to time the condi- ton of the bank and it's branches. In conformity with the proyis- ions of the supplementary act Governor Yell appointed commis- sioncrs to examine the condition of the branches. Mcssrs. C. F. NJ. Noland and k. C. Byrd, the commissioners appointed to examlne the branch at Batesyille, made Q report May 10th, l84l, in which they spoke of the danger thls branch was exposed to of being drained of its specie in order to pay it's portion of the interest due on the state bonds. The indebtedness of some of the officers of the institution exceeded the limit allowed by law but they expressed the opiniol that early steps would be taker to correct this evil. They couit not close their report ''wltliou expressing their firm belief that the management of this bank (branch) has always had an eye single to the interests and pros perity of the institution-that ia voritism or paltiality has never crept into it--and that the baC debts eff any) are traceable t, any other cause than mismanage ment."
 MT. R. C. Byrd acted alone ir examining the branch at the Post sf Arkansas. In his report dated March 1, lSil, he says; Il found
