During a recent trial in the Criminal Court
Of Baltimore, Judge Brown called the atten-
ton Of the Jury to the fact that one Of their
number had been engaged in reading a book.
Reading" said the Judge, ''is to DO com,
mended as an excellent mental occupation at
the proper time and place. but he feared by
paying too much attention to the contents Of
the book, a juryman would not be able TO de-
vote as much attention TO the evidence on
which he was to form 4 verdict as his duty
called for Many lately rendered vcrdcts-
those, for instacce, i'll tho Beecher and Presi-
Dental election cases-inducc Us to believe that
The average juror might as we'll be reading
novels as listening to evidence.

A Columbia dispatch to the Baltimore Sun,
under date OF last night, says -
The reception yesterday Of the Governor
pcrcmptory demaH for the surrender OF their
several Offices caused no little excitement among
the republican officials in the State House who
were resting quietly under the impression that
| they would not be disturbed until the decision
OF the Supreme Court should be made known.
They were taken completely by surprise, aud
said they would be unable 10 respond to the
Governors summons before Monday To-day
has been spent in earnest consultation, and it Is
understood that the republican claimants arc
unanimous in their determination to decline to
comply with the demand. Their conclusion and
reply will be made public to morrow. They
charge that this is plain violation OF tho Gov
errors pledges to use none but legal measures
TO obtain control Of the government They
say the matter is already in the court at the
suit Of the democratic contestants, aud they
deny the Governor right to anticipate The dc.
cl.ion Of the court. Some Of them profess to
be very much pleased with this action Ct Tie
Hampton administration, as they say that the
broken pledges vii! bring the troops back into
the State House.

The latest rumor concerning ex.President
Grant is that in his proposed visit to Europe
he will go as bearer of dispatches to some Of
the foreign ministers-which shows that though
ON pleasure bent he is Of frugal mind, as the
government will pay his expenses. 1t remains
q mooted question whether the desire for the
ACQUISITION of money or for the qualification Of
hatred naturally felt for people they have in
jured is the living principle Of the radical party.

The Claims OF the Valley.

The Valley Of Virginia, the "Tenth Le-
eion" Of Conservatism, offers one OF the
States most distinguished sons as a candi-
date for Governor-Colonel F. w. N. Holli-
day. He is scholar. honest and brave
man, and has proved his valor on the field
and his craftsmanship in Congress. This
section claims his nomination as an act of
simple justice. We pay not only our own
full share Of the taxes, but thousands OF
dollars surplus goes to the maintenance of
schools, &C., in other less favored parts Of
the State. Our candidate, it must be adj
mitted, is representative Yirginian, and
man Of matured mind and experience. He
has conducted his canvass without antago-
ntzing any man, and in strict accordance
with Virginia usages; and throughout the
preparations for the contest OF this Con-
yention neither he nor his friends any
where have engaged in dennnclatlons
of any one OF the distinguished gen.
tlemen who are named for Governor
and we now claim that he occupies the posi-
ton of being the most available compromise
candidate. In truth, he seems to be the
only escape for the Convention to be united
and harmonious. The antagonism wrought
by oyer-zealous friends has created feelings
which may. end In the, discovering of the
elements composing the Conservative party.
To the end that the integrity OF this orga-
nization may be- maintained, to thu end
that this personal antag onisn shall novWork
disruption Of the party, as is now imminent,
we beseech the Convention on higher
grounds than the success of our candidate
