THERE has been an advance of
nearly hundred per cent. in the
price of printing within the last nine
months and publishers are becoming
seriously alarmed. Petitions have
been sent from all parts Of the coun-
try asking Congress to put wood and
straw pulp, soda-ash and other bleach
ing chemicals ON the free list, as it is
claimed by makers that the heavy
duty on these articles causes the rise.
A bill to this effect has been intro
duced in Congress, and ought to speed
lily become law. On account Of the
rise many papers have been forced to
increase the price of their subscrip
tim. while numerous others have
been compelled to suspend.
H. BAYARD ever had even the re.
hottest chance for the Democratic
nomination, even those remote chances
have gone glimmering. 1t is now
charged that he made a red hot war
speech in June 1861 ,characterizing the
Union army as a band OF hirelings, |
and denouncing Lincoln's acts rs lille |
gal and uncalled for. This will lay
Mr.. Bayard out 50 far as iPe North
is concerned.
SINCE DIR. Blackburn took posses
sion of the Governors Mansion, there
has heen expended for unnecessary
repairs and furniture the sum Of
s5,325.90, when witnesses and
others were compelled to sell their
claims on the State at twenty-five
cents ON the dollar. The retrench-
ment and reform committee should
look into the matter.

TnE National Democratic Commit.
tee has voted in favor Of Cincinnati
as the place, and the 22d Of June as
the day for holding the National Con-
veniion to nominate candidates for
President ani Vicc-Presidcnt. With
her large Music Hall, Cincinnati is
better prepared for the Convention
than any Of the cities that applied
for the distinction, aud her hotel ia-
cilities are unsurpassed. Then it is
regarded as neutral ground, where
each aspirant will get his full measure
Of Justice, and the Committee has
acted wisely in selecting that city.
Coupled with its advantages adds the
Couicr-JouRal, which is always ready
to stick in word for its man Tlden,
comes the pleasant superstition that il
was at Cincinnati that the Democrat
ic party made its last successful Pres
idential ticket four and twenty years
ago, when il nominated an old bache-
lor, in the person ofJames Buchanan,
very able, a very upright, and, like
Mr.. Tilden. very much abused
statesman. 1t also yoked young
Kentuckian to the Sage of Wheat.
land; and, if the coming convention
has a fancy to carry out the parallel,
there are still a number Of Kentuck.
ians, young and old, who would prob.
ably not decline to keep company
with our admirable Uncle Samuel.
In seems to be the general wish Of
the people that the claims of the va.
rious candidates for the Democratic
nomination for District and County
Offices be settled by primary election,
which all must admit is the best mode,
after our frequent experiences in
"howling mobs," otherwise known as
conventions. 1t is true that these
primaries are more expensive than
the.cOnsention way, but by them the
will OF the people is expressed di-
rectly and wirey politicians can not
thwart that will by dishonest manipu.
laiious. Il is the fairest way that the 4
nomination can be made, and candi-
date can have no complaint against
anything but the people at large if he
fails to receive the necessary number
Of votes.
The Legislature is trying hard to
ruin a good law or substitute it for one
not half so effective. The Turner
concealed weapon law, amended SO as
10 exempt sherifs, his deputies, con-
stables, town marshals and policemen,
is as good law as can be made to
cover such cases, and we hope our
Solons will legislate on matters more
needing their attention. Wherever
he law has been properly enforced,
the disgusting and cowardly habit OF
carrying concealed weapons has been
pretty effectively stopped. Men, as a
general thing. care little about fines
when there are so many ways to keep }
rom paying them, but a ten days
,tay in Jail goes entirely against their
astes.
