support of the party and we earnestly
ask that there be no halting or hesita-
tion in giving it to them.
For District Attorney, our energetic
young friend, WILLIAM G. HEINLE
Esq, had no opposition in the Conven-
ton and was nominated by acclamation
"a well merited compliment. Mr..
Heinle is rising young member of
the bar, has reached his present posi-
ton in life by his own unaided efforts,
and is peculiarly deserving of support.
He has been a faithful worker for the
Democratic party, will prove a strong
candidate and has the ability, integri-
ty and legal experience to make a first
class officer. OF his election by
large majority there is no doubt.
For County Surveyor, the Conven-
ton placed in nomination that excel
lent citizen of Unionville, Mr.. SAMUEL
BRUGGER, n civil enginecrand practical
surveyor of ability and experience.
A better selection could not have been
made and his election will be certain.
The last work of the Convention
was to elect Chairman of the County
Committee for the year beginning
January next, and the honor fell to
our contemporary, Hon. =. GRAY
MEEK, of the Democratic Hdtchman.
While we are frank TO say that
our personal preferences were for
another man, we yield ready acqui-
escence in the choice of the Convention,
and are prepared to do so the more
willingly and cheerfully from knowl-
edge of the fact that Mr.. Meek pos
sesses in a high degree all the qualif-
cations necessary for the position. He
has ability, energy, thorough knowl-
edge of the politics of the county
and great experience in political man.
agement, and for these reasons, If for
no other, the wisdom that dictated his
selection should not now be called in
question. He il an active and adroit
manager, and under his leadership the
party should accomplish more than
ordinary results. We believe his elec.
ton was profer of conciliation to
elements in the party in this county
that heretofore have been in conflict,
and as such we accept it. The dlspo.
sition of the Democracy everywhere is
to heal dissensions, to harmonic diff
ferenccs, and by cordial and unaffect-
ed unity to close up the ranks and
present solid front to the common
foe; and any movement or action cal.
culated to aid in the accomplishment
of purpose so laudable and so much
to be desired, should be met in the
kind, fraternal spirit with which it is
rendered.
We will conclude this review of the
proceedings of the convention with
an earnest appeal to the party not to
weaken or falter in the good work
that has been under way in the county
ever since the nominations of Hancock
and English were announced to the
people of the United States. In our
local contest, the National and State
tickets are supplemented by the names
of gentlemen that should command the
entire support of the party, and we
hope that organization and Jealous
effort will continue until the polls
close on the I'd day of November,
when we will all rejoice together in
the grandest victory ever achieved
by political party in the history of
elections.

A Folly of the Age.

Hunting the North Pole has been
q sort of mania with scientifically
disposed persons for n good many
years, and especially so ever since
Sir John Franklin got ice bound and
took up his permanent abode some
where up in the hyperborean re
gions, which means beyond where
the North wind comes from. Vast
sums of money have been expended
and several lives lost in the endeavor
to find the Northwest passage
though no one seems to be able 10
give any reasons for believing there
is such passage, and certainly no
one has shown that if there is, its
discovery would be of the smallest
possible benefit to mankind. The
idea of finding Il route practicable
for navigation north OF the Ameri-
can continent, is surely one Of the
greatest absurdity, AS such Il passage
would be nearly continuously OBJ
structed by ice, and at all times
would be attended with great danger
to all who attempted to navigate it.
The latest disappearance in the arc
tic region, that OF the Jeanette,
under command of Lieutenant De
Long. has furnished North Pole OK.
perts, both in this country and
Europe, with prolific theme for
speculation. The question as to
whether any Of the crew Of the
Jeanette are yet alive, is not so
much discussed us the probabilities
as to where the vessel is and
whether she will ever be able to
get back. Lieut.. De Long has al
ready passed one severe winter in
those frozen seas, and is now, if
alive, booked for anQthcr winter of
like terror and severity, for all win
tiers in those high ATTITUDES are terri
BILE and severe. The numerous con-
lectures rs to the absent vessels po-
sition and the discussions attending
them, have disclosed the remarkable
fact that no one seems to know what
the plans of her commander were, or
which shore of Wlangel Land he in
tended to make for. BY some it is
maintained that he attempted to
reach the eastern shore and became
frozen in by the ice known to have
been present in that region in i'm
mensc quantitirs; while others better
acquainted with the canOns of Arctic
navigation are confident that he
sought the western shore and is now
there in safe harbor. Ii the former
supposition is correct the condition
of the explorers is Il pcrllous one,
but if the latter is true there is no
cause to fear for their safety
very singular part of it is that Lieu
tenant De Long lett no knowledge
behind him which shore he intended
to make. Next year if he and his
men are not forgotten it will be in
order to send vessel in search OF
them, and the following year to dis
patch one after the first. Nothing
new has oecn added TO scientific
knowledge by these Arctic expedi-
tions for years at all commensurate
with their cost, and it is time Amer
leans, AS II people of common sense
and practical ideas, had abandoned
them.

were no established water boundaries between the towns. If the proposed boundary line between New York and Connecticut was adopted, it would bring into this State four hundred and sixty thousand acres Of ground and ffty-se thousand acres would be suita- ble for oyster culture. He argued that the State could never give a title to oyster grounds, as it only holds them in trust for all the people of the State. He thought the better plan would be to have commission who would protect the natural oyster beds and the planters as well. He liked the bill so far as it went in fostering and pro teeting the great oyster interest, but it was un- just to farm out the natural shell fisheries where poor people can and do go. Legislation on this subject in the past had been for the could be prepared that would not interfere with any vested rights. Owners of valuable grounds should not be exempt from taxation, but should pay revenue to the State the same as others.
 Mr. Rowe, of Fair Haven, replied at length to Mir. Pickett, combating many of his ideas as unsound and not in accordance with the true state of the facts.
 After remarks by other gentlemen, the com- mittee adjourned until to morrow afternoon at o'clock when further hearing on the bill will be had.
 TEMPERANCE.
 Several gentlemen from New Haven were 
 ton to the bill permitting persons holding licenses to sell liquor at balls to keep open after 12 o'clock.
 Colonel Robertson, Representative from New Haven advocated the bill. He thought it was for the public interest to pass it, as it was we'll known fact that the license law in this regard was frequently violated and would con- tinus to be so unless this act was passed.
 J. P. Studley, of New Haven, also advocated the bill in a strong speech. He thought the public sentiment of New Haven was strongly n favor of it.
 Hugh Daley and Judson W. Ewing, repre- senting the New Haven s. P. O., appeared in opposition to the bill. While admitting that the present law was not enforced at balls, yet they feared if the proposed bill passed it would be abused, and that all sorts of excuses would be made for selling after 12 o'clock un- der this act.
 Mr. StudIey called attention to the fact that the privilege could not be made available without the consent of the Mayors of cities or the Selectmen of the town.
 JUDIcIABY.
 Before the Judiciary Committee yesterday, a bill was considered exempting minors wages from the factorizing process. The bill was favored by manufacturers on the ground that the law as now on the statute books was source of great annoyance to them. Repre- sentatives Tinker of New London, Coggswell of Montville and Carpenter of Norwich, opposed the bill on account of it's injustice to shop keepers.
