Mr., Editor
When the call for the County Con-
vcntion was made it was not under
stood that it would be nominating
convention, but we understand such
is the determination, and that some
Of the candidates arc urging it, |
hope, however, the delegates will dc.
eide different and not 90 into nomin-
ations. 1t would be an injustice to
many of those who are before the
people, among them Mr.. D. S, Steven
son, of Clifton, who is running for
Sheriff, and believing the nomina-
tions would be deferred, has not been
out among the people. But if the
Convention decides to nominate on
the Goth, Mr.. Stcyonson's name will
be presented, and rs a truo.bluo Dem.
ocrat, he will abide its action, |
hope, however, the nominations will
be deferred TO another day.

mined to place this gentleman whose
name Is at the head Of this article,
in nomination at our County Con-
Yention, as a candidate for the next
House Of Delegates Mr. S. has been
conferred with on the subject and
has expressed his unwillingness to
serve, but we feel assured that if he is
nominated, that he will be elected
and serve. No man in this county
would reflect more credit upon his
constituents and his county in the
Legislature of West Virginia, than
would Mr.. Stconbergen, and no one
in our county could poll a larger vote.

proper, III is severely criticized by
many Who are curious to know why
an officer rcceiging nearly as much
in the way Of salary as the President
of the United States himself, should
be singled out for the bestowal Of Il
valuable privilege which would new
er be granted 10 a citizen in the
humber walks Of life. These carp
ing critics forget that the Good Book
saws, "Unto him that hath, more
shall be given; and from him who
hath not, Shall be taken away even
that which heKath." 1t would have
been an exceedingly difficult matter
to accurately determine the amount
of duties on these gems, as Their val
ne has been estimated all the way
from $4,000 to 100000. On the LIST
of April, one year ago, city paper
printed a large and circumstancial
account 81 the stealing Of these dia-
mouds the night previous, and their
prompt recovery by the detectives
The article closed by saying that they
would that day be exhibited at a
prominent iewelry store on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, and the result was
that hundreds of people, including
many high in official position, visit
ed TIC store, and, to their intense
disdli "a, Were reminded that it was

LETTER CARRIER SYSTEM,
People who are so unfortunate as
to reside in cities of less than 10000
inhabitants have reason to congratu-
late themselves on the very decisive
vote in the House on Friday, by
which that clause in the report of
the Committee on Appropriations,
limiting the carrier system to cities
of 10000 inhabitants was rejected
The vote was 125 to 30. 1t will be
hardly possibly to change the law on
this subject now. The mistake, if it
was one, has been made, and the pco-
pie of small cities have enjoyed the
delivery too long to give it up now,
without producing more general dis
satisfaction than the annual saving
is worth to the Treasury.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, May II, 1877
TIE REFORM COMPETENCE.

Any attempt to underestimate the
influence or effect of the Reform Con-
ference which has Just met in New
York would be unwise; and the as
sertion that the leaders of either
party do not regard its deliberations
as of the greatest Importance, is false.
The Washington Organ ofthe Willie
House Ring pretends to consider the
proceedings and address of the Con
ference as Of no weight, and only
worthy of contempt; and, to prove
how little attention they deserve, the
aforesaid organ has, in this mornings
issue twelveseperate editorialarticles
and paragraphs on the Conference,
its personal and proceedings. And
each one of these articles is intended
to prove that the subject isnot worthy
of notice. The men assembled in
New York, yesterday, represent the
most respectable portion of the Re-
publican party, the class to whom
the address ofthc Democratic Nation
al Committee extends its invitation
to join the Democratic party. These
men and their followers are ready to
work and vote with US on the issue
of Administrative Reform; and if the
temper of leading Democrats here is
an indication of party feeling, that
is to be the sole issue of the campaign.
The applause with which the name
of Samuel j. Tilden was received in
the Conference proves that these gen
tlemen, although most of them idcn-
titled with the Republican party,
have no partizan bias, and are ready
to act with the Democratic party for
the suppression Of political corrup-
ton.
