GtIu IkuliIUs NJ
We venture 10 make a suggestion
20 the delegates composing the
National Democratic Convention.
Being satisfied in our own mind that
these two men are the NEST popular
Democrats mentioned as candidates
for the presidency of the United
States, we believe that ticket headed
with their names, one FOX freaidcl t
ami the other for Vice President,
you'd be the strongest ticket that the
party could place in TIE field! There
fore, We suggest that in baIIptlipg in
the Convention il be understood by
previous agreement tina; the man re-
cciving majority Of the votes be
accepted as the candidate for President
and The one receiving The next highest
vote be declared the candidate for
Vie President. This may be consid-
cred rather novel plan Of selecting
candidates, but We SEE no reason why
it should not be adopted ana give salts
faction. 1t would certainly defeat ali
pipe laying for the second place Oh
the ticket and prevent the possibility
e di>cord in the party.
But, some one viii say, perhaps
neither Of these TWO men will accept
the second place oil the ticket.
Then all We have TO say is that nci,h-
or Of them deserves the popularity be
enjoys; tor such men onsht to be Mill
ing to serve their country in any posi-
ton assigned them that is any way
nearly commensurate With their capa-
bililes and worth.
We would take delight in support
ing ticket with he names Of these
two men at its head, regardless Of
which one came first, and We lave
beard others express the same scnii-
ment. Therefore, we hope their sup
porlers will harmouize upon some
plan, whether the one suggested BY
us or not. and give the people of the
party chance 10 votc for both their
favvrites.
Another objection that may be
urged 10 the nomination of both these
mcn is that neither Of them are IVES
tern mcn; but We do not consider this
u reasonable objection. The West has
no more right to claim place on the
ticket than the South. We think that
no sectional feeling or interest should
have any consideration in such mat
ters, but that the candidates should
be chosen solely for their capabilities
and availability and hence i. matters
not whether either Of the candidates
live east, west, north or south. SO
far as we are concerned, we would not
care cent if both the best men for
the two positions happened to live in
the same State, but we know, that for
some supposed reason, the people
would not like to have both candidates
from the same State, and therefore
would not advocate the nomination Of
TWO men from the same State.

The IsthmuS Projects.

TIE New Orleans Democrat ex-
presses "a decided preference for the
ship railway, proposed by Capt. Jas.
y. Eads, over that of The construction
of ship canal. The feasibility of the
plan, as it says, is no longer uues-
ton, for it meets with he approval IF
the best engineers in The United States,
while it has been practically Demon
s,rated before a committee of the
House Of Congress.
The pemocra, is also Of tie opinion
that the adoption of this plan will pre-
vent any difficult arising between
this country and any of the powers Of
Europe, a. th, re will he no iuterfer-
ence with the Monroe doctrine if it is
adopted by our Government, for in
such case ii will be built 5y plans laid
down by citizen Of the United States
ana with capital furnished by citizens
of this country, and will be under the
control Of our Government; whereas,
the Lesscps canal would he under the
direction Of IA foreign engineer, built
with European capital and controlled
by European government. Besides
all this, it is asserted tina: H.. canal
would cost more than twice as much
as the railroad and require more than
twice The time to construct it.
All that is asked of the Government
is that it guarantee six per cent on the
bonds of The company for a tern Of
years, with the right (of the govern
menO to fix the tariff Of the road.

| lGtneral Bi 1SDln 1n the Philadelphia Presg1 In the fall of 1867 Mir. Wade invited me to join him in Q visit to Detroit. met him by appointment at Cleveland, Ohio, and found
 with him Mrs. Wade, General Wade, several ladies, General Burbridge, of Kentucky, Gen eral Alfred Plsasanton, of the Regular Army, and Governor Edward McCook, of Colorado. MT. Eben B. Ward, of Detroit, had sent fine steamer to convey Mir. Wade and his party to Detroit and thence up the St. Clair Flats. Tho ladies remained at Senator ChandIer's while the gentlemen of our party went out on the flats to fish. One day General McCook shot wild goose on the Canada shore, and Gene ral Pleasanton at once drew up an indictment against him for trespass and damage on the Queens dominions. Mir. Chandler prose- cuted the case and MT. Wade defended Mo Cook.
 The trial was long one, and great loren sic ability was displayed by the two able advo- cates. Judge Barker presided, and Wade was twice fined and arrested for abusing the Court He denounced the spectators as being inter client, and demanded they should be put out and not allowed within ten feet of the court room. As we were on little yacht, and this would put us into water twenty feet deep, it was somewhat important the Judge shouldnot yield to Mr. Wade's demand. A mob of three persons was at once organized and rush made for Er. Wade with the evident intention of giving him ducking. The Court called on the sheriff to read the riot act and disperse the mob; then followed @ charge of cavalry mounted on broomsticks and lawyers, judge, jury and prisoners were trampIed under foot in that terrific charge. This charge was led by famous cavalry general whom had seen on the battlefield of Beverly Ford leading 10, GOO cavalrymen to bloody battle.
 Wads oontended that McCook's goose had been gambling when shot, and produced witnesses to prove it. He then argued that as the Queen of England was highly moral woman she could not approve of immoral con- duct by the goose, and therefore his client ought to be acquitted. After an elaborate charge from Judge Barker the jury was sent below, where they remained so long making up their verdict the judge and lawyers got un- easy lest they were drinking up all the wine, and the judge ordered the sheriff to bring them up. They rendereda verdict acquitting McCook, but Chandler said they were drunk, when wild scene of confusion ensued which was only quelled by another charge of cavalry in which the judge was ridden down and real ly quite badly hurt. Those were jolly days of fun and frolic, and the boys ct play were sight that would have amused the American people if it had not increased their respect for oofo

 Correspondence Reading Easlel
 |. Raymond Lewis, Of Reading, now in Color ado, writes as follows in a letter dated Arkan- sas river, Colorado, Feb. IT: 'In former letter had intended to give you description of Trout creek. The falls of the creek in the mouth of the canon are about seventy-five feet high, and look grand. But what won- der at most is how the big trout get out of the river up over the falls into Trout creek, as the largest of them are in the creek above the falls. Can it be that they swim the falls The river contains some that would surprise some of the trout fishers in Reading They could not take them with minnow rods, as they do the common trout of Berks county. There are some few soft fish in Tile river, but the fisherman here take only trout from one pound up-nothiDg smaller. So fishing in the river would suit you, and I wish you were here to see some of the game. Why, only yesterday saw about twenty tailed deer run across the track ahead of the engine. and the like happens every day with some of the boys. Deer, elk or sheep, and if not them, then timber wolves. They are very plenty. The man that watches Dave's engine had mighty narrow escape last Thursday As he was coming down the pass on the Mus quito range he heard noise, and on looking around saw what would make many a man drop. It was half-starved bear of the griz- zly sort, as he says, and he knew he must fight him. He pulled his Colts, as he carries the large size, and fired three shots. Then the bear was close upon him, and he drew a sabre, as he carries knife as long as an arm, and cut and slashed. The bear must have done the same, for John was used pretty rough. He had his clothes nearly torn of, and was bloody all over when he came in. He got the best of the bear, he brought the hide and saddle with him. We examined the skins and found three bullet holes and sey- eral cuts which were made with the knife. lie is one of the 49ers which Ispoke of in ylast, and seems to enjoy the sport. John Finger is his name. He says: Well, boys, pretty close but bar is mine every time You should see Dave's engine. He has her trim- med with pair of elk horns which are almost as large as the engine herself. They are not much of a curiosity here, as all the rum mills have them over their doors. I can't make out what it's for, unless it means stag whis- key or invitations to take horn"

GO TO TEE CAUCUsEs.

|
 l Republicans, go to the caucuses and make your opinions concerning the Presidential nomination felt. It is the only chance you will have. Read the following section of truth from the Norwich Bulletin and act upon it: 'The Chicago convention is theoretically dsliberative assembly; but very slightly so in practice. Most of the delegates go there l with fixed determination to vote for this or that candidate, and no amount of argument would change their minds. Consequently they have no argument in a national convention. Thus the choice is thrown back on the State convention. But how often do we have any discussion in the State convention over na- tional matters? The delegates in State con vention are rarely open to psrsuasion; no persuasion is attempted; and whichever fac tion has the greatest strength quietly carries its point and controls the proceedings. So we come back at last to the caucuses The work of d6liberation and choice which we dsl- egats to others Is not performed by them; we must accordingly perform it ourselves" The Republicans who neglect to attend these primary meetings are rscreant to their duty.
