LOCAL MATTERS.

THE MoFFETT LIQuoR LAw--MEETING OF
THE DEALERS PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION
A meeting of the Liguor-Dealers' Protec-
tive Association of Richmond was held mt
Sauer's saloon Yesterday evening-Mr. John
d. Smelling in the chair, and Henry Wes-
terhoff, ESQ.,, secretary. The meeting ad-
,ourned to be reconvened at the call OF the
chairman, which win be made as soon as
the two committees heretofore appointed
are ready to report. One Is in Washington
consulting authorities as to the patent, and
it is expected that an opportunity will there
present itself for resisting the Inauguration
OF the proposed system by means OF the
patent laws. 1t is claimed now that the
main features OF the Moffett register are
embodied in patent granted some years
ago for q street-car register--an invention
that preceded the street-car bell-punch, and
was for some time used on a line OF street
cars in the city OF New York. The other
committee is to consult counsel here in the
city as to the constitutionalty Of the law
in the mode Of taxation and granting OF
licenses, &c. ..
The leading men OF the organization feel
confident that they will be able to resist the
Moffett law by fair, legal methods, and they
seem determined to pursue the course they
have so deliberately taken. They have re-
ccived communications from the dealers in
Norfolk, Petersburg, Staunton, and Lynch
burg, and have the promise OF earnest sup
port from all.
Mr.. Smelling states that letters OF en-
couragement are pouring in upon them
daily; that the trade is entirely willing to
be taxed fairly and equitably, but that in
this contemplated system there are such in
equalities and burdens as will be likely to
prove ruinous to them without correspond
ingly benetiting the State revenues.
1t is represented that Senator Mofett is
now in Washington with the view of OBJ
tanning patent for his invention. The
progress he has made in that direction
seems to be unknown to the dealers. There
IS a statement current, however, that be
will find no difficulty in executing bis pur-
poses. The exact facts will doubtless be
made known in day or two.

SPECIALITY.

Last Thursday, in Wayne county, Pa, a
farmer named Elijah Killam took refuge
during thunder storm near a pig pen, with
a pitchfork on his shoulder. A thunderbolt
descended and struck the tines of the fork,
melting them, and passing through his body
killed him instantly, and also killed a dog
that was near him. He had in the morning
a singular presentiment of his death, and al!
ter breakfast kissed all his family, saying it
was for the last time. He called his oldest son
aside and told him what to do on the farm,
"for am TO be dead man before night
know"
Thomas f. Lyle, brother of Mrs. Mary
E. Ashton, who has recently figured quite
extensively in the courts of Baltimore city,
was arrested on the charge of John ii.
Adrians, an itinerant jeweler who sells goods
upon the instalment plan Young Lytie was
in his employ and sold gold bracelet to his
sister, Mrs. Ashton. The jeweler was unable
to collect money for the bracelet. He charges
that Lyle, who left his employ, abstracted
the contract by which Mrs Ashton agreed to
surrender the jewelry if not paid Adrians
stated that when Lyle left he was indebted
to him for some $50. When called on to paw
this the jeweler was astonished by receiving
q bill aggregating 800 for services rendered,
the charges made including SO business trips
to the office, at so cents each, and numerous
other trips at from 40 cents to 81 each.-
Lytle was discharged

Another View Of the Nominating CUES.
ton.

MIR. EDITOR: As the time is coming when
the Democratic party will be called upon to
make their nominations, and there are various
opinions in reference to the mode of nomina-
ting, and our friend lyuros has favored the
Crawford County system, / will give you the
views of an humble citizen and life long Dem
ocrat.
The Crawford County system, after having
been tried in several States and counties, l be-
leve has been abandoned everywhere. 1t was
tried in Lancaster and several other counties In
PENNSYLVANIA, and abandoned after one years
trial. In Hartford it has several bad effects.
will only name one or two. In the first place ii
holds out inducements to men to become candi
dates for the various offices who never had any
intention of putting their names before the
people, and causing them to spend their time
and money without any show of success. In
my opinion it gives the wire-workers q chance
to use men for their own purposes whom they can
not use in any other way. For instance, Mr..
A. is candidate for some particular Office from
the first district, and Mr. b. is a candidate for
the same Office in the fifth district Mr.. A. finds
that he can not make as large vote in the fifth
district as he expected. The first thing he or
his friends do is to get Mr. &. to be a candidate
for the same Office, thereby expecting to secure
his nomination whether it would be acceptable
to the people or not That very thing has been
done and will be done, and think that there is
much more fraud practiced under the Crawford
County system than under the old system of
nominating
Now / will suggest mode of nominating
that ! think there could be no objection to-
That is that at our primary elections we should
elect thirty delegates from each district, ten of
whom should meet in Bel Air in County Con
vention for the purpose of nominating three
men for the House of Delegates, and ten from
each district 10 dominates State Senator, and
Sheriff, and the last ten from each district to
nominate board of County Commissioners,
and other nominations that might be necessary
The County Conventions should be held on three
different days, and no gentleman should serve
in more than one County Convention. A system
of this kind would give every Democrat in the
county a chance to cast his vote for his prefer
ence as delegates to the several conventions, and
if the people did not send good men to the con-
ventions, and there was any fraud practced, ii
would be their own fault. Believing that the
Executive Committee will select the best mode
according to their judgment, subscribe myself
