THERE is one little thing that is
pregnant with argument in favor Of
the option law to which We desire to
call the attention Of the good people
of May6eld, and that is. that this

has neither a police judge nor city
marshal, and, in fact, has no need Of
either.--[Mayfield Monitor.

A railroad from Falmouth to Wal
ton, connecting at the latter place
with both the Cincinnati Southern and
the Louisville Short-line, is mol by any
means either impracticable or unlike
iy to be made a matter of fact. Such
a road would be Of immense advan-
tage to this section. 1t would give US
two connecting lines at Cincinnati,
and direct route to Louisville, and
hence two tobacco markets, where at
present we have but one. Competi-
ton in freight and passenger rates be-
tween this point and Cincinnati would
alone be worth an immense sum to
our people.-[Pendleton Democrat

But few States, comparatively
have instructed their delegates to the
Democratic Convention at st. Louis,
how u, or for whom to vote. This ID
entirely proper. The Republican
party. on the contrary, have been
mixed up, and instructed their dele
gates to the CINCINNATI Conven-
tion, to vote for certain candidates.
The result will be, that there will be
wrangling and confusion in their
camp. The central idea with our par
ty. is, to nominate good and true men
for President and Vice President, and
after the ticket shall have been made,
each State, in our opinion, will hearth
ly endorse it, aud rally around the
platform, aud give the nominees an
earnest support, whomsoever they
may be. Laying aside all sectional
tissues. we intend to battle for the
right, and, il possible, make a change
in the administration of the Govern.
ment, To the end that "Grantism" and
all that the term implies, shall be
overthrow, and an honest and capa-
bic administration take its place.

JOIN BRIoHT, the great English

IT is quite common for some per
sons to say, that when an Office is to
he filed by vote of the people. that
if there is no politics in il, then we
should not draw the party lines, but
vote for a good man, whether he be Of
one party or another. We quite agree
with the Courisr-Jouynoi, which says
that the party lines should be sharply
and tightly drawn in all cases. even
in the election Of a Sheri.a or Consta-
bic. That if a Democrat votes for a
Radical who offers for such an office,
it is strengthening the opposition and
weakens our party. Especially, in
our Presidential election year, should
we stand true to our party, end give
no aid or comfort to the enemy. No
party is well organized whose members
fail to vote for their own candidates,
whether the office they seek be politi-
cal or not. The organization of the
Republican party is SO perfect, and its
members so clanish. that if they have
no candidate Of their own to vote for,
they will not 20 to the polls. This is
specially true of the "c1lored troops
who fight nobly" for their own men,
but refuse to vote at all il they cant

do the same thing, and, under no state
