ABOUT ADVERTISING.--Ane exchange
remarks very pertinently that to all men
engaged in honest callings advertising
is an indispensable help aud assistance.
The newspaper is every mans directory
the source of information he first con-
suits when he has anything to buy or
anything to sell. 1t is the index to the
life and motion of the city where it is
published. The man who attempts 70
Go business without advertising it, in
this day and generation, is like a fellow
who should attempt to put out fire
with CULVER engine.
And yet, many men will say 'tadver-
Using doesn't pay" but, let anybody
put something in the papers against
their business. and they will squirm and
resort to the columns of the. local paper
to repair the injury. In this way they
utterly disprove their own allegation a.

A CASE OF CIRCUMsTANTIAL EVE
DENCE-P BABLE INNOCENCE OF
THREE DOOMED MEN.-Nearly a year
ago wealthy merchant named Rozier
was robbed and murdered near Sparta,
Ca, whilst on his way from his store to
his residence in the evening. The body
was alleged to have been discovered by
the town marshal q man named Griggs,
and two companions, named Lovett and
Barnes. 1t was found that Mr.. Rozier
had been struck on the head with some
blunt instrument, which had crushed
in without breaking the skull. The
stories told by the three me1 did not
agree, supposed Inconsistencies We're de-
tected in them, and the suspicion was
excited that Griggs and his fri ends were
themselves the murderers, and q num-
Der of circumstances having been adj
duced calculated to establish the guilt OF
the prisoners, they were convicted and
sentenced to death. The enforcement OF
the penalty has been postponed from
time to time, mainly through the earnest
and devoted efforts of Marshal Griggs's
wife, who has persisted in avowing her
conviction of her husbands Innocence.
Her pleading induced an experience de-
tective to take hold of the case, and it is
now tolerably certain that the murder
was committed, not by the condemned,
men, but by two roughs a ttached to a
circus that was at the time playing. in
the neighborhood. Mr.. Rozier was
known to have had valuable watch
and revolver in his possession, and
these could not be traced. The watch
has now been recovered, and everything
points to the certainty that the murder
ers were the circus men against whom
suspicion has for some time been direct
ed.

The Duty Of Conservatives.

In our local columns will be found the
result of the Conservative primary cleo
ton in this city on last Friday. The
election passed off quietly, and now
that the nominees of the Conservative
party have been declared by an unusu-
ally large proportion of the registered
Conservative voters of the city, it is the
duty of all, the defeated candidates and
their supporters, as well as of all others
who adhere to party organization, to go
to work to elect the ticket nominated
The nominees were chosen according to
the rules of the party organization, and
should be supported with that unanlm-
ity upon which alone depends the sue
cess of the party in future and more
important elections. We feel assured
that every man, who took part IN Inc
primary election, feels in honor pounu
to abide the result, and, laying asloe
his personal preferences. will support
the nominees at the election on the 25ro
inst. as earnestly and actively as though
he himself were on the ticket. Inc
fact that Conservative, from lndiffer'
ence, carelessness, or from personal rea'
sons, has not taken part in the primary
does not release him from his party OBJ
legations. He sheuld feel himself con-
strained to support the ticket which
his fellow Conservatives have fairly Sc
lected under the rules of the party or
ganization, and yield up his individual
views and preferences to the voice OF tn
majority of his party as expressed at tn
primary. What would be the use OF
party organization, if every man was
liberty to bolt the party so soon as al
own personal preferences were not graf
flied? The voice of the majority OF tn
party, as fairly expressed, must be bind
ing upon all the members of the party
or else there can be no party organize
ton.
In speaking of the recent primar
election in Alexandria, that straight
forward and true Conservative pape
the Alexandria Gazette says: '"The Coz
servatives OF the city met in their re
spective wards last night, and nomini
ted candidates for Aldermen, Council
men, Magistrates and Constables. Hay
ing thus completed their ticket for nez
Thursdays election, in the manner an
form prescribed by the organization I
which they belong, they are in duty az
only: bound to support it, but to us
every honorable means tosecure its SUE
cess. All the names on the ticket ma
not be entirely satisfactory to eyer
Conservative voter, but these voters ha'
ing awaited themselves of the means b
which their favoriies might have bee
selected, and failed, or having taken
little interest in the matter as to refu'
to take part in the primary or wal
meetings. and left the selection OF cand
dates to those who are interested, the,
as honorable men, and as men anxlcu
to maintain the strength aud integrit
of Conservatism, must abide the re
suit. Standing by the party in loci
elections is the only way to secure SUI
cess in those of more general chara
