A SUGGESTION.

The time Of holding the State convention has
Been appointed as tho 7th Of August next.
OF necessity the primaries and conventions
must be held on prior day 10 have q repre-
sentaiion In the State Convention.
In this county the usual mode Of preparing
nominations both for State and county offices
has been first to elect representatives to
the State convention at separate primaries and
county convention; then TO 60 to tho ex-
citement Of q double strain TO complete the
ticket with county nominations at another
convention.
This perplexity and waste Of time could be
avoided BY the suggestion subjoined, to the
relief Of the voter who has no interest but the
success Of the Democratic party. Abandon
the idea Of holding two conventions for one
purpose, and hold one that will meet every
contingency, that will give more satisfaction
and that will merit more enthusiasm,
1.-THE County Central Committee will reflect
Its members will finds this to be no mere pala-
yer, but sound judgmen, in the interes, of the
party. We nnhesita,ingly believe it to be
popular change in the procedure OF making
political nominations. The Central Committee
bias the power 10 adopt this suggested change
without any hindrance in the present plan
governing the political assemblies in gu es,on.
IL the suggestion should be adopted II could
impair no mans chances for nomination. -
Make the call for primaries and convention at
once, and the time between this and the day Of
the primaries which win be but q few days
before the State convention in order 10 let the
county convention come in at the interval, the
tune would be sufficiently great for every man
TO arouse his friends in his cause. unless he
has got 10 fish for them and then he'll only
get suckers at this cold season. In every par.
tiealar Il gives each aspirant the same equal

SENATOR BAyARD's VIEWS. Senator Bayard,
Of Delaware, in letter expressing bis regret
at being unable TO fix time for addressing
the Democratic Union, Of New York city,
writes "My clear views of duty and expe-
diency have not, up to this time, been fully
adopted by my party associates, and yet my
faith in their propriety and their necessity has
only been strengthened by the occurrences OF
the session. No plan Of party action can be
accepted which involves confusion in the or
derby proceeding of our government in all its
branches. No differences of opinion of OBJ
structiveness by one department can warrant
other departments in Withholding necdful sup
plies, or in failing to perform their own full
measure Of duty TO the people of the United
States and their government To the sober
and deliberate Judgment and opinion OF the
American people must DO submitted all issues,
and, pending such decision, good order, quiet
and regular conduct of public affairs must
proceed. Congress is not town meeting, but
an assembly Of delegates, acting under con-
stitutional limitations, for tho performance Of
essential objects, and eaceable and orderly
maintenance and continuance OF tho govern
ment, under existing laws, is the first duty.
To amend and repeal Objectionable laws and
enact new and needed reforms is clear duty.
but the mode, and only legitimate mode, is
clearly pointed out by the constitution, and
no irregular methods can be Justified

OVER NIAGARA FALLs.--A catastrophe oc-
Cured at Nisgars Falls Saturday by which
Mrs. a. ROLAND, Of Paris, France, was swept
over Horseshoe Falls. Mr.. and Mrs. ROLAND
arrived at Niagara from the West on the 18th,
and had visited the falls several times. IL
was their intention 10 leave for New York
Saturday afternoon, after breakfast visited
the falls, crossing TO the Three Sisters Island,
where they saw boy getting water outof the
river at point where the bank is little more
than foot above the water, and where the
rapids are exceedingly swift. After viewing
the grand scenery for moment Mrs. ROLAND
asked her husband for her pocket cup, saying
she wished TO get drink Mr.. ROLAND handed
her the cup and then walked away few steps
and took view up the river. His wife in
the meantime went to the place where she
had seen the boy dipping up water and at
tempted TO fill her silver cup. In doing this
she must have lost her balance and fell into
the seething rapids. As she fell she uttered a
frightful scream, which caused her husband 10
turn about, and seeing his wife struggling in
the water he rushed to the edge Of the bank,
but she was out Of his reach and beyond all
human aid. After seeing his wife pass from
his sight in the boiling, seething rapids and
over Horseshoe Falls, he turned and ran nearly
the whole distance 10 the French restaurant,
where he dropped completely exhausted in a
chair. lie groaned and wrung his hands when
the proprietor came up to him and asked
what the matter was. lie replied, ''My wife
is gone under the water" and when he had
recovered his breath sufficiently 10 talk re-
lated the sad occurrence. Mr.. ROLAND is q
manufacturer Of firearms, his place of bust
ness being at No. 81 Boulevard Do Arroy,
Lii &C. Belgium. They have been married two
years, and were just completing tour around
the world. A Niagara Falls dispatch says re-
will be made to recover the body. Mrs. Roll
land was 35 years Of age.

A BAsTiLE FOR TILDES Mr.. John +.
Mines, who may DO remembered as tho report
err to the New York World OF convorsation
some time since with ConklDg, the most of
which was repudiaied by that gentleman, has
turned up again in tie same paper in another
startling role. Obviously the laurels of the
obelsk reporter will rot let him sleep and so
BIO comes to the front with prodigious story
of how Gen. Woodferd planned to nip in the
bud q tremendous conspiracy which never
had any existence. rilden, as the tale runs,
was 10 be inauguratd on March 4, III, in spite
of the electoral tribunal, on the steps OF tho
City Hall 10 New York. His partizans were
thereupon TO seize tie custom house and OF
course would he able ito run" the govern
mcnt. This fel0nisns intention was aniici-
pated and frustrated by the appointment Of
Gen. Woodford as u. s. Attorney for the
southern district OF New York That worthy
officer says he believed tho danger real and
took precautions accordingly. His orders and
intentions were 10 arrest secretly tho Prcsi-
dent-elect under o warrant Of high treason,
convey him privately on board Federal gun
boat and ship him to Fort Adams or some
other serene point where he would undergo a
trinl. "The first thing anybody knew of it,"
said Gen. Wooiford, "he would have disap-
peared, and the suddenness of the blow would
ha We either disheartcned his followers or taught
them salu,ary lesson OF respect to tho law"
The further arrangements included gunbonts
In New York Harbor and marines and regu-
lars in the custom house and snb-iressury -
All this has very much the appearance Of a
cock-and-bull story, which Mr.. Mines is quite
capable of invsiting. but at the same time it
is well-known that President Grant would
have acted in the way set forth II he had been
persuaded such aso-called conspiracy existed.
