TILE PRLIN1PTES.

Tomorrow the primaries to elect delegates
TO the convention on the 23rd Of July to
amend and perfect the system for conducting
future primaries and conventions will take
place.
The Importance OF attending these meet
ings to select men for the convention who will
weigh the different plans offered for adoption
and amendments TO the present plan 10 their
own satisfaction that they are beneficial to the
purity of the party is Undesirable. AS we
have said before, and we wish that every voter
in the county could be impressed with the
idea, that plan for conducting political
meetings, permitting OF free expression of
choice, by suffrage, of representatives of any
government from the national down TO NUM-
cipal is the parent Of the triune of virtues in
a government: economy, purity and respecta-
bility. A vice never once INDUCED, a freedom
iherefrom is everlasting. So it will be with
our system If we do not err in the adoption
Of plan. Carefulness az this point will
despell impurities attempting to creep in the
management of government. Honest men
placed in Office, you can look for no thing but
an honest administration. They will not
sacrifice honor for profit. We get them there
in no other way than by an untrammeled ex-
preston of the people.
We have tried two plans within the last
few years and found neither TO work satisfac-
torily. The first was only plan to defeat
the choice of the people. The man who could
make the greatest combination, by whatever
power, 10 elect president of meeting had
the delegation in the convention. The most
popular man needs no combination for his
election, and therefore be is combined against
to be defeated by his weaker opponents when
considered separately.
The other plan is found to be Incompetent
sible, not to be understood by nine-tenths of
the people; laborious, SO much so that the
judges deserve to be compensated, and to
reach a nomination the serpentine course we
have to travel seems to be of infinite dura-
ton.
1t is not ouf intention at this time TO sug-
gest any particular plan by which tho wishes
of the members of the party may be expressed,
but from what we can learn by intercourse
with the masses Of our party, we bell eve i. to
be the general desire that in the coming con-
test for our nominee for Congress fair and
square vote Of the Democracy shall decide
who shall be the man, without reference to
district lines, minority representation or any
thing else.
We would again urge our friends to turn
out to the primaries and see that good and in
telligent men are sent to the convention and
if possible send none who have faxes to
grind"

DIED, on Monday, July the lst, 1878, JANE
NJ. CLAGETT, relict of the late Thomas
Clagett, Esq.
On the End Of this month-the lingering
rays of the setting sun, shedding peaceful
glory on the upturned sod the birds las if
conscious of the bright soul that had winged
its flight to heaven) caroling in the leafy
branches of the silent watchers in God S acre !;
under the shadow of the little church she
loved so well-was committed to its last rest
ing place all that was earthly of Dear Aunt
Jane"
No more shall we bask in the bright sun
shine of her smile, nor gather from the depths
of her loving eyes gimpses Of that loyal heart
so gentle and so strong but, for evermore,
shall we recall the sweet perfume of the flow
ers which, through long life, her def fingers,
humbly, hopefully, silently wreathed into a
glorious crown, in which the humble violet of
sweet modesiy, the lily of purity of thought,
the daisy of charming simplicity, the fragrant
hawthorn of hope and the helioirope of ger
erous and devoted affection, Wed with each
other in setting out the glory OF the centre
gem-FAITH the faith that passeth under
standing
Twice the bitter waters Of great sorrow
encompassed and threatened to overwhelm
her. but her trust was strong. She knew that
watched over her, aud her confidence was re-
warded. A little band of loving hearts and
willing hands, whom she was proud 10 call
children and who glory in calling her mother,
tenderly, lovingly, surrounded her in their
joint journey through life and gladdened her
declining years by unostentatious, self-denying
love, tender forethought and nntiring atten-
ton, which proves them worthy of her they
mourn.
To them our heart opens. With them we
weep. We yearn TO expose to them the breadth
and the depth of our affection and sympathy
Though their dear mother has been called
home, she has not forgotten them. Her pure
and loving spirit will not cease to whisper
holy thoughts of hope resignation, fortitude,
and encourage them up the narrow path she
trod so unfinchingy. Sweet thought
what delights can equal those
That stir the spirits inner deeps,
When one that loves, but knows NOT, reaps
truth from one that loves and knows"

In Treasury circles there is considerable dis
cusson of the near approach of resumption Of
specie paymants. The silver dollar will be
treated the same as gold coin, and being, like
gold coin, an unlimited legal tender, may be
disoursed by the Treasurer in payment of any
current obligations of the government, and il
offered in such payment will have TO be re-
ceived. In returning to the use of coin, The
natural policy would be to put the smaller
denominations of gold coin in circulation first.
Ii any considerable amount of such coin were
to come upon tie market, the small premium
remaining on gold would, no doubt, disap-
pear. II is thought that most of the boarded
coin in the country consists of the smaller
denominations, and would in the nature OF
things soon make its appearance in circulation,
especially such pieces as are abraded and re.
duced in weight. With the balance of trade
largely In favor of this country, and the very
satisfactory accounts received from all sections
of an abundant harvest, the continued accu.
mutation of coin would appear 10 be a matter
OF certainty. In view of the accumulation o
coin in the country, and which is in dorman
condition by reason of the remaining rate o
premium on gold rs against legal tender notes
II once set in motion as circulating money
II will tend more than all other measures pu
together to stimulate and revive bushes
throughout the country.

NECESSARY EXPENSES.

Papers in the interest of both political par
ties are at present engaged in shouldering the
responsibility of teaching the average Ameri-
can citizen that we should have "civi service
REFORM" A glance at the state of political af-
fairs in the country should lead all sensible
men TO know that those, whether ia the en-
ploy of one party or the other, and at large
salaries, are better able 10 contribute to the
necessary expenses of a campaign than those
who have received no public benefits from the
success of said party. The man who gets a
"fat" Office lie certainly more able to be liber-
al than the one who contents himself to work
at q regular vocation and use his spare time
and labor for the success of the ticket. By
the labors and votes of men who have no as
pirations and no desire for office the real work
of the party is accomplished, and it is wrong
for those who receive the benefit, under plea
Of purifying the public service" to shirk the
responsibility of contributing their mite.
1t costs money for the legitimate conducting
of political campaign and it is idle talk to
accuse one party more than the other of in
duciag the members thereof to contribute
to the legitimate expenses of speakers, bar
becues, &c. "We all do it''-and there let the
matter drop.

PERJURY UNFINISHED.

II seems very strange that in the face of the
plain spoken law concerning perjury and the
punishment thereof that the great parade Of
this evil in the Potter Investigation should be
allowed to pass by UNDECIDED. Anderson and
Weber confessedy have perjured themselves
and he would be an idiot who is of the belief
that the "cheek" and wit of Mrs jerks are
anything else but a mask for q lie-a mask al.
most as hideous as the deformity il conceas
There is, however, some little talk of prosecu-
ton in the jerks case, but as concerns An
derson and Weber nothing has been done in
direction towards punishment for their vio-
latioDs. Both of these men testified some
months since before the Senate committee as to
the election in Louisiana, and have recently
appeared before the Potter committee. Their
sworn testimony OF thesc occasions does not
show the slightest degree of consistency, and
the witnesses even acknowledge the inconsis-
tency, and their plea is that they perjured
themselves to give value received for situations
promised them
OF late Eliza Pinkston has made affidavit
that her blood and thunder story of over
year ago was lie. and later still, she denies
the truth of her affidavit. This does not mat
ter in the least. No matter what effect her
different stories may have in the manufacture
Of political capital, it is certainly clear case
Of perjury ard should be punished as severely
as 1t had happened in any rascality other than
the 6lching Of the Presidency.
Anderson, Weber, jerks, Sherman and
Pinkston, aud the lesser lights of that sensa-
tional combination, formed a conspiracy that
isunequalled for dirtiness, degradation and
utter foulness by any State plot against any
set Of political institutions in the history of
the world. The conspiracy begins with Sher-
man and his associates and passes through
most perfect chain of scoundrels and black
guards. The leaders were too cowardly to
dare the execution Of their own plotting, and
the instruments, Anderson 4 Co., too low to
care for the results of their own degradation
beyond their immediate gain. II there is no
