YESTERDAYS CONVENTION.

We publish in u local columns the
full proceedings of the Republican
County Convention held yesterday.
There we're present So put Of rs dele-
gates, showing a remarkable lack of
interest on the part Of outside pre-
cincts. The personel of the conven-
ton was a long way above the aver
age OF such gatherings. There was
little or no enthusiasm observable
either among the candidates or
delegates. The speeches were un-
usually tame, but the local
portion Of the platform adopted,
with q. few exceptions, is sound.
The Chinese business was a
little muddled. First, the Cincinnati
platform was adopted. This asserts
that Congress ought to "investigate"
the Monaghan question. On tho heels
of this a resolution was SEN through
demanding" the modification of the
Burlingame treaty. These two planks
don't Jingle very we'll, but we presume
that makes no difference. The last
named is almost a verbatim copy oftLe
resolution adopted by the Democratic
party at st. Louis. We think Mr.
Canayan and his assistants should have
left out the Endorsement of the pro-
posed Constitutional Convention. That
looks bad, inasmuch as it is charged
that the main object of Constitutional
Convention is to so patch up the con
stitution as to allow the Bonanza
Kings to rid themselves of the pay
inent of the bullion tax. The ticket
placed in the field, with a few notable
exceptions, is the weakest that could
we'll have been named. There
Is a belief in some quarters that Mr..
Hinckley will withdraw from it as
soon as he returns from the East. Mr..
Marchant, of Palisade, is a very
worthy gentleman, and will run well
wherever known. The convention
made liberal concessions to the indie
pendent element, two Of the six candi-
dates, Mr.. Hinckley and Mr.. McCul-
loch, having been taken from the ranks
of that defunct organization. Mr..
Smith, who is a square Repub-
lican, some years ago served a
term in the California Legislature from
Yuba county. He is correct in the af-
fairs of life and quite popular with the
masses. Captain Hubbard overcame
the military objection and got put on Tor
the short term Senatorship. If any of
them go to Carson we hope to see the
Captain of the number. The militia
laws of the State need repairing and
Captain Hubbard is just the man for
this important work. He will doubt
less devote his great abilities to the
placing of the State on a war footing;
McGeary should be fortified and al
iron-clad placed on Curlew lake.

Ex-Supervisor Deering is charged
with serious irregularity. He is ac-
cused of collecting $495 from the city
on behalf of Mr.. Clark of Blue Lakes,
and appropriating the money to his
own use. The records OF the Auditors
office show that Deering acted as
Clark's agent. The demand was re-
duced from $500 to S495 to obviate the
necessity of passing an authorization
to print.

date for Governor, and was afterwards
elected United States Senator, is in In

Indiana. He says he can not hesitate
in his choice between Hayes aud
Wheeler on the one side and Tilden
and Hendricks on the other, and must
support the former. He has promised
to make seven speeches for Hayes and
Wheeler, in Indiana, before leaving
for home. He will stump California
on his return for the Republican ticket,
and expresses the opinion that Hayes
will carry that State, as the Repub-
Leans are now perfectly united on the
Pacific coast. He says his letter de-
clining the Independent nomination
for Vice President WAS promptly writ
ten, but suppressed by the managers
of that party.

KINGSVLLR.


Eds. Tel is there any surprise on the
part of genuine Republicans at so much
interest manifested in our Congressional
campaign? The fact is apparent to every
one with half an eye, that General Gar
field holds a warm place in their hearts,
and to return him to Congress they will
use all honorable means. The position
taken by some of the anti Garfield men
that by running him with all the opposi-
ton, the vote for Hayes would be materi-
ally lessened in November. This weak
argument, is, perhaps, the best that can
be offered. Wonder if in the campaign
when "Old Gid" was supplemented by
John Hutchins, of Warren, whether the
latter's friends did not try that plea? Of
course, our old champion, Joshua r. Gid
dings had his opponents among nominal
Republicans, resulting=;from his positive
character, and we may be expected to
wonder if they did not try the pathetic
appeal on old "benighted Ashtabula
Republicans at that time. Will the signers
to the Northway call please ask themselves
hOU thin they would have regarded such a
plea at that time? We well remember
how indignant the old staunch Republicans
felt about the case taken by the Warrenites
and the only conclusion was that, infatu-
ated by strong desire for tho Office, its
patronage and elements, they lost sight Of
everything else. The parallel to this can
be left open for your readers to consider.
Rev. Edwin Dibell occupied the Baptist
desk yesterday. The calculation now is
to repair the church ediice-both painting

taking away the front fence, and thus
improving the grounds and all very much.

The County Commissioners by invita-
ton met number of our citizens at the
Office of E. H. Fitch, Esq, on Wednesday
p. m, for conference on the subject of
the proposed expenditures upon the jail
buildings at jefferson. These gentlemen
were on their way to the infrmary to meet
the directors. and thence to Conneaut.
Stories were in circulation that an expendi-
ture of some 800, 900 was contemplated,
and the amount Of tax levied for building
purposes, had tins matter in view. Our
people naturally wished to hear from the
commissioners the facts in the case and the
action taken by them so far as it had trans,
pired.
The interview was informal and took a
colloquial turn of more or less general
character. 1t turned out that no plan had
been matured, but that an architect had
been consulted on the plan of repairs and
enlargement, on the basis of new brick
building for the sheriffs residence-34f feet
square-and an extention of the Jail build
ing proper, so as to obtain twenty cells in
stead Of eleven as nov. This plan embrac-
es the taking out of the present cells and
the introduction of new ones of new mate
rial-iron and steel,-at an estimate of
$500 each. 1t appeared that ventilation
was one of the principal objects sought,
as the stencil was intolerable and unwhole-
some, and could only be secured by this
change. The building fund had been in
creased an amount nearly equal to the
amount of this estimate, but the road and
bridge fund had been diminished to such
an extent as to make the road and bridge
and building funds about the same as
last year. They appear to have thought
that the outlay of $4,000 would have
been needed one. 1t was, however, dis
covered that statute was in existence,
which limited these outlays by the commits
sioners for one object, to $4,000. OF
course this is final and will limit that action.
Messrs. Morrison, Fassett and Hall lead
il the conversation, disclaimed for their
fellow citizens, any faetious opposition to-
reasonable and necessary expenditures, but
couneilea economy, and the bringing of
such repairs down to what seemed reasona=
bic and necessary. The building Of a thirty
four feet square building for the residence
Of the sheriff, when we are over run with
candidates, accepting the situation freely
as tits, it was rather thought to be outside
of such reasonable expenses. The
conclusion of the whole matter seemed
to be that the legal limitation might be
approached without much opposition from
this quarter.

Congressional Correspondence.


Mr.. Northway publishes in the Con-
neaut Reporter, the following announce
ment Of withdrawal from the Congressional
Held. 1t is not, perhaps, very surprising,
as it has been very plain to see that there
is not ghost of chance for any new man.
while the present incumbent is in the field.
But this is no special disparagement of Mr..
Northway. His standing and talents are
not deprecated, only as he is brought into
comparison with Mr.. Garfield and his sur,
roundings, and the measure of usefulness
on the part of one is viewed in the light of
the other. When the place shall be vacant
and Mr.. Northway shall be brought for
ward, he will find that he enjoys as fully as
almost any other man likely to be named,
the high regard and confidence of his fell
low eitlgens, and commands as largely the
chances for preferment in the line indi-
Gated. Il is to be regretted-we think
that his friends should have seen fit to an
nounce his name at this time, but having
done so, their best course has been taken
under the circumstances. The sentence of
his announcement-"I am satisfied that
my candidacy does not meet with the sp-
proval Of the majority Of the Republicans
OF the district" to have full concurrence
with the facts in the case, should have
been rounded of with this furthur truism-
at this time!

A fishing smack manned by a couple OF

three days absence returned in the night
and landed at Fort Hill-just east Of the

Collector Rice found four casks of common
whisky, and one box of Scotch, and took
possession of them. He also found where
three other packages had been removed.

WASHINGTON,

Eds. Tei:-Probably the greatest politi-
cal debate since the war was that between
Lamar of Mississippi, late a Confederate
Colonel, and Garfield of Ohio, an ex-union
General.
Lamar's speech was the most powerful
argument that has been made upon the
Democratic side of the controversy since
the war. At its close he was loudly ap-
plauded by the Democratic side of the
House, and by part of the gallery.
Garfield, who by common consent, was
to reply to him, sat directly in front of
him, an attentive and watchful listener.
The scene was one to be remembered.
These two giants in intellect who had met
and crossed swords upon the field Of civil
war, were now pitted against each other in
the area Of debate. Lamar, the recognized
leader and champion Of the South, sprang
into the arena with the mighty force Of
fiery and persuasive eloquenee to contend
for the lost vestige of subordination of
race. Garfield with the steadier and might
ier force Of irresistible logic, and devotion
to great principles, lowered above his an
tagonist, showing wider range and larger
grasp Of the subject, while his eloquence
surpassed even the fiery Lamar, and the
close of his speech was such an ovation of
applause as is given to few men to listen
to. The greatest compliment upon his
speech was the hurried introduction and
passage of the school amendment within a
half hour after he closed, as result Of his
arraignment of the Democratic majority
for their opposition to measure calculated
to lift this great question out Of the arena
OF political strife and place it forever upon
the high plane of constitutional amend
ment. This last speech of Ga.feld's is one
that every man, Democratic or Republican,
in his district, may well be proud of.

be A low type of the typhoid fever. Of the
three recent deaths in town, James McKen-
zie had been sick nearly two years, por-
ton of the time a great sufferer. He had
lived many years in SaybrOok, and was
well known here. Mrs. Caroline Colby
was great sufferer, also, from cancer, for
many months before her death. Charles
Tuttle, Sen., died on Monday, of heart
disease, having been sick but few days.
The funeral was largely attended at the
house to-day, at ten A. NJ, Revs. Latimer

the eightieth year of his age, and for more
than half century was identified with the
history of the county.
