The County Convention,

This body meets on Saturday at the
Courthouse. In the selection of dele
gates to the District Convention, each
precinct should have the privilege of
nominating its own delegate or dele
gates, without the advice or outside
pressure OF other precincts. In this
way every precinct will have II voice.
Some of the town politicians who did
not get in AS city delegates may waltz
In with county proxies, This is an old
dodge, Good, but thin, and should not
be tolerated. Its fraud. Among the
duties of the convention will be the
election OF chairman cf the County
Democratic Executive Committee.

Still Blind.

Still the leading journal in the north is I'M
able to perceive that GRANT or DAVENPORT
violated any law in using, in 1872, large
sum OF money belonging to the Govern
ment to pay for making registration OF vo-
tiers in New York city, for spies, for bogus
warrants against foreigners, and for various
purposes for which Congress had made no
appropriation. The difference between ar
thorizing a supervisor to copy regis
tration books and authorizing him
to register the voters themselves is so
great that the dullest mind ought to be
able to understand it. The difference
between paying out money for the purposes
to which it is appropriated by law and pay
ing out money without authority OF law Is
another difference Of the same sort. This
latter offence GRANT is guilty OF. The
former is what DAVENPORT did. Yet the
Tribune OF Monday says:
owe know, too, that Davenport abused
his powers, disgraced his office, and invaded
the rights Of respectable citizens. But tne
money paid to him by Whitley and Will
liams was paid in accordance with the letter
Oh LUc LlN, Allu CAlS pAA po7S " ~ 49,
applied was on its face good one."
1t is good purpose, then, that OF control
ling elections in the States by minions OF
the Federal Administration; by the use OF
money collected rs taxes; by all the power
full means which the agents OF an omnlpo'
tent central government could employ.
On the other hand, the World sees clearly
that the law OF the land was violated, and
dangerous precedent was SET, by GRANT and
DAVENPORT. We quote some OF its good
points:
uThe fees OF chief supervisor, under
the law of 1871, We're ordered to be paid ut
the Treasury, and not by the Department OF
Justice; and eX-Attorney-Ge General Williams
not only saw and said that he had no right
to divert the funds confded to him to the
purposes OF Davenport, he also declared
that he wanted that fund himself for the
purposes to which it was appropriated. 1t
was not therefore surplus fund-and II
it had been surplus fund, the present law
of the United States requires expressly and
explicitly that all surplus funds shall sbe
covered back into the Treasury II this
law means nothing, it would be better for
Congress Mt once to make general appro-
priation OF the revenues OF the country In
lump to the purposes OF the Government:
and authorize the President to use them il
any way he may see fit. Until Congress
however, does this, such q course rs the
President pursued ut the instigation OF Da
venport is clearly illegal and dangerous,
anything is illegal and dangerous"

Belknap's Pleas.

speaking generally, we may say OF the
prLsSAp case that the game is not worth
the candle. But it is an interesting case,
nevertheless. It is a matter OF no import
ance that he should be convicted and dis
qualified for holding Office, yet the princi-
ples involved are important, and the prece-
dent to be set now may be a good one or
bad one. We do not refer to the replication
which we published yesterday. That is
merely intended to save him whether inno-
cent or guilty. 1t is totally untrue, we sup
pose.
But the questions involved in BELKNAP's
plea to the jurisdiction OF the Senate are of
great magnitude. 1t is plea based solely
upon the fact that the criminal had resigned
his Office, and his resignation had been ac-
cepted by the President before ne was inn
peached by the House. Surprising that
the acceptance OF the resignation put
him out Of Office, and that the
plea in question is good, then it
follows that the President by accept
ing it pardoned him beforehand; and yet
the Constitution expressly provides that the
President cannot pardon in impeachment
cases. What sort OF precedent would that
be? Again To have continued BELKNAP
in office would have been crime in the
President, since it would have afforded him
new opportunities for wronging the Gov
eminent and additional facilities for
defending himself before the Senate. Per-
haps the President would thereby have rem
dered himself liable to impeachment. But
it may be argued that the President was not
compelled either to accept BELKSAP's resig-
nation or TO continue him in Office. LIE
might have suspended him. And this Last
is, we suppose, Just what BELKNAP's coun-
sci will claim that the President ought TO
have done. We know prominent lawyer
in this city who says that the Senate has no
right now to try BELKNAP.
But can the Presidents refusal to receive
a Cabinet officers resignation continue him
in Office? IL so, the President has the
power to compel men to serve in his Cabl-
net. II he can keep one officer in Office by
refusing to accept his resignation he can
keep all. And if he can keep them in Office
he can compel them to perform their duties
or be impeached for the neglect. What sort
of country would this be under such law?
Altogether, the case is full Of interesting
points. The questions are new; and their
decision will be looked for with interest.
We are inclined to think that they will be
settled by the Senate upon principle, and
without rofaropro IN thp effect which the
decisions may have upon BELKHAP.

CLASS PRIyILEGEs.-The Senate OF the
United States has passed Il resolution pro-
viding that during the impeachment trial
one OF the Senate galleries shall be occupied
by no other persons than the families Of
congressman. This gallery has long been
set apart for the use OF congressmen's fami-
lies, but hitherto it has not been usual to be
. very strict in excluding other people from
1t. Why q congrcssman's wife or children
should have any exclusive privileges of the
kind is not very easily understood by COM
mon folks. The Supreme Court ought to
follow this illustrious example and provide
place for the judges families in the court
room. The various State Legislatures, too,
might profit by u precedent OF origin SO dis
tinguished, and set apart a gallery for the
use of the families OF the local aristocracy
Of lawmakers.
But which OF the members Of the lower
House Of Congress would dare to stand be-
fore the people OF his district, and tell them
that he approved the Senate resolution?
Why should not any other respectable lady
or gentleman have as much right to occupy
seats in this gallery as a congressmm's wife
or son or daughters We cannot imagine
any good reason for creating privileged
class in Washington or elsewhere in this
country. Perhaps there may be such rea-
son. Who can furnish it?
