"The Democratic counsel have nearly compile
ted their preparations of the contest over Ore
gon. They sny, they will win there, or utterly
disgrace the Commission
We have 10 faith in the hopcd-for winning,
and we don't see how the Democratic counsel
can disgrace the Commission more than il has
already disgraced itself Bah this depending
upon hbcrM Republicans for honesty and de-
ceacy is like drowning man catching at siraws
to save himself. So-called liberal Republicans
talk glbly and always fool the Democrats, for
when it requires vote to saTc the Republican
party they are never found voting against it
their liberality aud honor is sure to ooze out un-
der the party pressure. We would as soon trust
Cog with our dinner as 10 expect the most lib
eral talking Republican to vote against his party
interest In this State liberal Republicans have
been elected to the Legislature by Democratic
votes, and in every instance they have turned
out to be the most rabid and meanest RepubIi-
cans in that b2dy. Expsrience has taught us
not to trust q Republican, even when nonor and
honesty is pittcd against party interest. It~is
strange that all the Democrats have not pro6ted
by the many similar lessons they have learned.

The Court.

The February term Of Court was opened last
Monday, Judge Northrop and the new Solicitsr,
Col Ball, promptly at their posts.
The juries were empanneled and the Judge
was about to deliver his charge to tke0xapd.
Jury, when III. II. d Byron, a&1Dn1aips
Treasurer for Union County, arose and made o.
jeotions to the jrries claiming that they had not
been drawn in strict accordance withstlic hw
Before proceeding further the Judge refesred
the matter to q committee of lawyers, sansie(kg
of W. II. wallacs. II. W. Shaud, W.. ~
and the, Solicitor, with thd lsuggestiok @shSlg gtSs
Committee call n meeting Of the bar for consuS
tation upon it. The Court then adjourned ID
Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock.
The Court met on Tuesday morning and Mr..
Wallace, rs Chairman of the Committee, report
ed that the Bar was divided uppn the matter OF
the legality of the juries, but Suggested, rs the
objections were only technical, and did not
charge fraud or corruptio, in the drawing. that
the Court proceed upon the Sessions Docket,
with the understanding that in any case where
the parties interested shall object to the legality
of the jury, upon the grounds stated, that case
shall be continued.
To this arrangement all parties gave assent,
and the Court proceeded to business.
The Judges charge was in every respect ap-
p'opriate-plain, practical and impressive. He
Calculated the duties and powers of the Grand
jury, the different crimes which would likely be
brought before them and the law governing them,
in very forcible and somprehSAsibls symkNpAr.
His denuncaion of the illegal trafHckiAg in
whiskey and the Incorporate use ofintozicn-
ting liquors was timely and in excel ut style,
and met the appreciation of all who Ii d,rd him.
Taken all together we think the chrge did
Judge Nerthrop great credit and Increased the
good opinion before had of him 10y tH people,
lie is fast restoring the respect for thi dignity
of the Bench which was almost cntilely lost
through the imbccilty and suspected corruption
of his predecessor. We have confidence in
Judge Northrop's justice and integrity
Solicitor Ball has taken hold of his Office with
an industry and determined will that mnst max q
him an efficient and acceptable officer We
know him we'll lie is man Of talent and one
of the most highoncd, honorable men in the
State. As yet he has not had chance to show
his qualities us au officer, but we believe he will
become very popular, among all classes, before
his term expires.

Value of a Timely Word.

A great deal Of harm is done through
forgetfulness. A little thoughttulDess
and care with respect to others would
often save them from great deal Of
suffering, and aid them in their work,
A man IS discouraged in consequence
of the difficulties he meets with. An
encouraging word may be all that is
necessary to revive his energies, and
to cause him to persevere. That word
were easily spoken. There are those
who are perfectly willing to speak it,
but they do not think of 1t. They
are busy with their own work. The
discouraged one sinks into deeper
dependency, not through their heart
lessness, but their waut Of thoughtful
Hess. A young man is exposed tc
temptation. He is about to take g
step from which a little influence o.
the right kind will save him. There
are numbers among his acquaintance
who could exert that influence. Bu1
they do not see his danger, or are SC
busy that they must leave him to the
care of his other friends. He takes
the step, and it leads to his ruin. A
little effort rightly put forth woulc
have saved him.

Southern SeCtiOnaIism.

The Nashville (Tenn,) american
makes an able and convincing argu.
ment to prove that there is nothing
sectional in the political solidity Of the
southern states. If the formation of a
northern sectional party is urged, be.
cause the southern states are united,
there is no reason or sense in the pro.
position. For, says the american /:
There is no sectional issue on which
the south could rally. The issue at
the bottom of this solid Democratic
organization is one Of states rights, To-
cal government, equally interesting,
equally essential to the people of
Massachusetts and of Louisiana Their
solid alignment is an accident. The
essential thing is that they are aligned
on an issue distnctively and broadly
national-one which appeals as much
to the north as to the south, and
which cannot, by any possibility, be
perverted into one of sectional bear
ing. The south has no more interest
than the north in the determined pres
ervation of the federal system. In
deed with the we'll known and more
rapid increase of the population in
southern countries, taking the well
known decline in that respect in New
England, the South will have in few
years the least interest in the doctrine
Of State rights. She is to-day fight
ing the battle for New England, up,
holding a doctrine New England
would gladly preserve few years
hence.
There is, then, no sectional party at
the South. There Is no sectional is
sue OF general interest. A solid South
does not in any way grow out Of any
sectionaism, but out of an enforced
alignment upon national interest, a
principle in which all are interested.
Then there is no excuse for northern
party, and no reason for one, and
there can be none Of any consequence.

A SAD ILLUSTRATION OF THE HARD
TIMes.-There was an application
made recently for employment in the
Government printing office by q lady
who had been raised in afluence, was
an excellent musician, and had master
ed several languages. Superintendent
Detrees, somewhat embarrassed by
the application, told the lady that he
had no work in his office BETTING one
of her attainmeuts, when with tears in
her eyes she said that she was willing
to do any mental service, even if it
were scrubbing the floors, SO that she
might earn an honest living. This
incident serves to illustrate the amount
of poverty and wretcheduess in and
around Washington.
