Our Philadelphia correspondent argues
that the Exposition should have been
opened on Sunday. The real trouble,
which makes this opening so Objectionable
TO many people, is the liquor-selling on
the grounds. Had there been none of this,
chey would have been, if opened, quiet and
orderly. But the wine and the beer, the
whiskey ard other spirits, which will be
sold constitute danger. They make it
possible that the day will be one OF drunken
levity, if the Exposition is open. We in
cline to the belief that the work began at
the wrong end il liquor had been exclud-
ed, the grounds might have been opened,
but when it was let in, then the reason for
their closing received an additional and al
most unanswerable support.

The Middletown Transcript distinctly
ahirms, what we had before heard inti-
mated, that Governor Cochran will not
consider Mr.. Smithers name for the Chief
Justiceship, because U. s. troops were at
the polls In this State, at the election Of
1868, when Mr.. Smithers was the Union
candidate for Congress. We are of the
impression that he disapproved their being
brought to the polls, aud it is slim reason,
most people will think, for barring him
from the Governors consideration.

TIE DELEGATE ELECTIONS OF sATUR-
DAY NEXT.

The attention of Republicans should be
earnestly directed 70 the delegate elections
OF next Saturday afternoon. These lead |
up directly to the nomination of candi-
date for President. They constitute the
primary movement OF the members Of the
party in the work of choosing Chief Mag |
istrate. The delegates chosen here go to
the State Convention, to join there in the
choice of delegates, who, at Cincinnati
help to select our national candidates. AT
this moment every citizen who ap-
preciates the demand there is upon
American people for a higher tone in
the administration of the government
must feel that there is duty incumbent
on him, which he must, for himself, dis
charge. The choice of delegates who will
intelligently and faithfully represent at Do
yer the aspirations of the true Republican
party of the country in favor of clean.
handed government and against all the
train of Belknaps, Babcocks, District Rings,
Safe.burglary conspirators, &C., &c whose
line leads directly down to their associates
a
duty that is now imperatively laid on each
Republican citizen who really and truly val
ues his party and desires to see it succeed.
For the time has come when success can
not be won by mere party drill aud disc-
pine it must be won By describing ii. II
there is to be a real an actual, displacement
of the Belknaps and Babcocks, the Bosses
and their Rings, it must be evidenced in
the fact that that they are set aside and re-
placed by better men.
1t may be said, with truth, that the COM
ing election of delegates is of far more than
usual Importance. 1t is fraught with sue
cess or disaster to the Republican organiza-
tion in this State. 1t is not contest be-
tween gentlemen named as delegates tc
Cincinnati, who might be of equal fitness
and equal claims, but contest bet'1een sys-
TENS The dissatisfaction of 1874, whict
evidenced itself so earnestly and vigorous
ly in this city, came from the people
from thinking, earnest, Independent
Republicans. They have not changed
their minds. They will support their party
first and foremost, heartily and decidedly,
but they will not support unworthy and dis
credited men who steal the party uniform
to serve their own schemes in.
The grand example of Massachusetts, il
sending some of her bsst and most honor
ed citizens to Cincinnati spreads enthus
iasm throughout the Republican hosts o
the country. Every State should initiate it
and in our own local work. the Republican,
Of this city are summoned to the sam,
duty. In the Sixth Ward, the only on,
where delegates have yet been nominated
the list is headed by George W. Bush
This is an honorable and worthy leader
ship. Il is a real service to the communit
which Mr.. Bush renders in going on tn
ticket. Other names upon it are equal
eommendable. What, then, will the Sixt
Ward do? 1t is said-with what truth W
not-that an opposition ticket is to b
brought out, and that it will bear til
name of Mr.. l. ]. Jenkins, of the Custol
House. Between such men can there be
hesitancy in choice2 If so, then there
little hope for the future OF the Republies
party in this city and State.

GRIsT MILLS AND GRAND JURoRs.-That
was rather novel case presented to,thc County
Court on Monday last. Among the grand Ju
rors for this county, at the August term OF the
Court, was MIR. A. II. Rogers, upon whose
farm there is a grist mill. Mr.. r. was regu-
larly empannelied. and the jury found three
Indictments. On Monday these cases came
before the Court for trial. when counsel tor
defendants put in the plea that Mr.. Rogers
being the owner, although not the occuplers
and having no. hug to do with tie business OF
the mill. was Ineligible. in the eye Of the law,
to serve as elaud juror, aud that therefore
the action of that body was null aud void.
Major Lee. the Commonwealth Attorney,
contendcd that Mr.. Rogers. having rented the
mill to another, and being in 10 wise respon
sble for its management, was competent
Juror. The Court sustained the views OF
Messrs. Harrison, .Janney, Chancellor and
Thomas, defendants counsel, and quashed
the indictment. -Loudoun Mirror.
