We want all our Democratic and
Conservative friends to remember,
that the 18th day of May, is the day
fixed upon for the holding Of the pri-
mary conventions in the various Dis
tricts of the county, to appoint Dele
gates to represent them in the County
Convention, to be holden in Point
Pleasant, on the 26th day of May
It is to be hoped that the members
of the Democratic organization, as
well as those Republicans who have
become disgusted with the stealings
and corruptions of their party, and
who have now determined to bring
about honesty in the administration
of the affairs of the country, will
give these primary meetings their
undivided attention, and see that
none but good, honest men are sent
as Delegates to the County Conven-
ton. At this Convention well be Sc
lected Delegates to represent this
county in the State and Congression-
al Conventions, and it may be, nom
mate our county officers. The State
Convention will have the selection
of Delegates for the National Con
vention, to be held in st. Louis;
five Presidential electors, and the
nomination of full Democratic State
ticket. You can well see, the i'm
portance then, of sending good men
to these Conventions. We want all
our Delegates to be men who will act
honestly and for the best interests OF
the party, and thereby insure its sue
cess in October. This will be no
time to reward men from personal
motives. The desire should be only
to place good and honest men upon
our ticket-mcn who can and will
command the respect, confidence and
support of the voters of the State
We want no man upon any of our
tickets, against whom q breath Of
suspicion has ever been cast, or who
lies under any doubtful cloud. The
people are not going to be satisfied
with any ticket, unless it is compos-
ed of pure men. We have such men,
and plenty of them, and they should
be nominated to places upon ourState
and county tickets. The time for
rewarding men from favoritcism has
passed.

Serious Charge against MIR. Here.
ford.

The Springfield Republican, accuses
Mr.. Hereford, as Chairman of the
Committee on Commerce with being
Il thief; and says that he has stolen
from the U, S. Treasury S495, 900, for
West Virginia improvements, where
as scarcely another State in the I'M
ion has received that much. This is
very serious charge to bring against
the chairman of one of the most i'm
portant of the Congressional Com
mittces, but the best of it is, it is
true. Mr.. Hereford has secured for
his State a large amount of money,
and we do not believe that any 9TH
er member could have done as much.
Some of Mr.. Hcrefords's envious
maligners are endcavoring to make
it appear that he should have socur-
ed sl,000,000, for the Kanawha river.
but it is most likely that if he had
insisted on such a large sum, its
greatness would have cngendered an
opposition which might have defeat
ed the entire appropriation.-E.

We have supped full with scandal
Disclosures, familiar to our Utmost
thoughts, no longer frightus. When
any particularly respectable member
of the party of great moral ideas is
shown to have been removing his
neighbours mule, or corrupting the
moth exterminator committee, or
breaking through and stealing from
the National Treasury in some other
manner, people no longer express sur
prise that his name should be attach

Letter From philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, May A

Dedr RCgHtef:
Once more you hear from me about
the Centennial. The last arrivals at
the Main Hall were three riaed can
non and eaissons, complete, which
are to be seen in the Swedish depart
ment, which are attracting a good
deal of attention owing to their fine
ness of finish. The trophy of this
department is a bundle of spears,
surmountcd by battle-axes.
In the Machinery Hall, Bullock
Printing Press is being located near
the center of the eastern section, 1t
will be exhibited in full operation,
as an evidence of the advance made
in the cart preventative" since the
time when Guttenburg made impress
ions with a wooden block. This
press is very Interesting to me.
The Egyptian Court bcgin4tos show
what the people Of the Nile will do
for the visitor. The columns are in
placc-thc span over the doorway
being inscribed in hicroslyphics.
The clock for the Memorial Hall
has been completed at Thomaston,
Connecticut. Ithas 1,1G0 pieces, the
estimated weight of all being six
tons. The main wheels are four feet
in diameter. The pendulum ball and
rod, weigh respectively 700 and 500
pounds. The rod being AZ feet long
and connected with the clock-work
by what is known as gravity escape
mcnt, and makes two-second BEATS
The rod is of steel, and to compensate
for contraction and expansion, is en-
cased in two cylinders, one of zinc
and the other of steel, which by their
relative expansion upward, maintain
Il uniform center of oscillation.
Italy, located in the northwest
corner of the Main Hall, has all her
space crowded with goods, pianos,
&c, The contributions are valuable
as well as varied, and will make a
magnificent display.
The registering desks will be used
and placed in the ticketofliccs. They
are furnished with projecting wick
cts, which the visitor passes as he de-
posts his ticket in the box, As he
touches the wicket there is an auto
matte arrangement by which the
movement is carried to an indicator
similar to those used on steam pumps
and engines. 1t is impossible for
anyone to pass the wicket without
being registered, and its use will oh
viatc the necessity of counting the
tickets to ascertain how many per-
sons have visited the grounds. As
one will be placed at each of the thir-
teen entrances, the operation becomes
merely one of addition.
The French steamship France"
which arrived in the Delaware, on
Wednesday, brought some 1900 tons
of goods for the Centennial, consist
ing chiefly of heavy cases of statuary,
pictures, and wines.
When | write again the Ccntcn-
NAL will have fairly opened. | hope
to meet goodly number of Point
Pleasant friends here during this and
next month. Yours,
JIM.

Isn't it a sad reflection upon the
Republican party that what they
term an ex-Confcderato Congress
should be necessary to expose the
populations, pilfcrings and thicvcrics
of the administration partisans in
Washington, The "trooly loil'party
should have done this while in pow
er, and it would not have been sub
jected to the humiliating position of
having an ex-Confcderatc Congress
to expose its villainios.
