Hon. James l.. D.. Morrison, candidate for
elector at large. will address the people OF
Lexington and vicinity to-day at the court
house, as has been announced for some time
in lnIs paper. Col. Morrison Is a democrat
of the old school, a gentleman of the old
school, 100, affable. courteous and kind, and
| he is q vigorous and polished speaker. All
who can possibly do so-democrats. green
hackers and republicans should sc to hear
him, as they VIII be well repaid for the
trouble OF their attendance.

In sending us marri.g. notices our friends
will save us no little trouble II they VIII write
them thus First, place, second, date,
third, name of minister, fourth, names OF
the parties to the contract. Some of our
correspondents write MIR. So and So mar
ried to MISS Blank. We prefer to say Mr.. So
and So and Miss Blank. Acc riding to the
first wording the man is married to the wo-
man, but a question is left as 10 whether the
woman is or is not married to the man. The
true theory is that it is a solemn compact,
equally binding upon both, sides, imposing
equal duties, and demanding equal love and
selG-sacriiice from each, therefore we prefer
to say this man and this woman are married
one to another. III manner! of the an.
Inouncement can neither bind nor loose, but
correct expression has much to do with
mouid1ng right thought and right action. nnt
should be encouraged even in apparently
small things.
There is complaint made that there is no
q republican upon the , resent grand jury
The complaint isso f.: just. There shoalt
be on all the iuries. and among judges an,
clerks of election, and in all similar posi-
tons, a fair proportion of republicans
any rate representation. 1t is not true tina
the juries have been so selected "year aftel
, year, The rule is that republicans are near
ly always placed upon the juries, both CRANE
and petit. OF the last grand jury MIR. Jos
S. Benton and Thomas Powell were mem
j, bers ; of the one before that, G.. ID. Satter
field ; and the one still before that IL. Wink
= Ter. the one before that Wm. Bruins, and re
Gently MIR. ii. W. Thieman was a member O
u grand jury. According u Senator COnk
+ iing's idea that property and intelligenc
O should be represented the republicans |
this county would not be entitled to on
:. third of the members OF juries, but we hop
to see them literally treated in this, as i
every other respect. We want everybOd
!, to have the right to free speech and repre-
sentatiOn In this country be he democrat
q republican, and only measure his position b
i, his merits as a man and as u citizen. No on
;, who has any respect for himself will dare
CHI large, however, that the present gran
. jury was appointed for any partisan end
when it is composed Of such men as Co
