IT is said at Washington that Justice

his connection with "red-headed Jim

System, which was adopted by major
ity OF the Democratic electors Of the
county who voted on the question OF
changing the mode Of nominating county

the 10Th day OF June last. The rules

Their introduction into the Democratic

an experiment in an effort to sUpplant
the old delegate system, which, for sew
eral reasons, had become very generally
Objectionable and failed to answer its
purpose. Being thus an experiment, IS
we have said, It becomes the duty OF
every sincere Democrat in the county to

If it fails 10 give satisfaction, then some
other system must be adopted. These
rules will be laid before the County
COmmitteefor its action when the chair
man calls its members together for that
purpose, and We advise every member
Of the Committee who happens to be ;
subscriber OF the FREEMAN to cut them

OK Friday last Mr.. kneass, OF Phila-
delphia, introduced a bill into The House
changing the location of the capital Of
the State from Harrisburg to Philadel
phis, the question Of ratification or re-
lection to be submitted to the qualified
electors of the Commonwealth at the
next Novembe election An attempt TO
pass bill for this purpose has been made
at almost every session or the Legislature
since the new constitution went into ef-
feet, and has as often failed, as it viii
most likely fail again. We are at a loss
to imagine any good reason why the
seat Of the State government should be
removed from its present location, and
especially why it should be removed to
Philadelphia. On the other hand, rea-
sons Of the very strongest kind are al
most as plenty as blackberrics in Aug

A GREAT MAN in the broadest accep-
taEion Of the phrase was elected to the
Senate Of the United States last week
by the Republican members Of the Cali
fOrnia Legislature. His name is Gen
eral John F. Miller. and the State of
Indiana may justly feel proud in claim
ing him as one Of her sons. While tho
Republican mountain has been in labor
in old Pennsylvania and brought forth a
Senatorial mouse in the shape OF Harry
Oliver, the Republicans in the Golden
State did their work in q very differ
ent style, and gave John +. Miller to the
country fully equipped, like Minerva
springing from the brain Of Jove We
form our opinion OF Miller, and Of what
may be expected from him as a Senator.
from what was said of him by one Par.
dee, member Of the California Senate,
who in seconding his nomination among
other highly flattering things said:
IF he is elected to this honorable position
his real worth viii cause 10 be raised a men
tai pyramid a the National capital. the apex
Of which viii rise high in the heavens, and
LLE ul5L SliNtIg IdN OF INC carry morning
sun will hasten to embrace it and the last
golden ray of his setting will linger and play
on its summit and around its base future
generations will congregate to honor and
revere"
These ale well chosen and very elo-
quent words and were so regarded when
they were originally uttered by Daniel
Webster, Ito whom Pardee compared
/ Miller at the outset Of his eulOgium) in
his celebrated speech at the laying Of
the corner stone Of the Bunker Hill
monument. In these degenerate times
when the Senate is compelled to listen
through three mortal days to the froth
and frenzy OF Logan, Of Illinois, sgaiust
the bill restoring Fitz John Porter to
/ his rank in the army, it is pleasant 10
know that a second Webster is TO appear
( in that bOdy-that \ second Daniel' 10
/ about to come 10 judgment-and tha:
( Miller, OF California, viii stand among
/ the Logaus, the Platts and Congers OF
/ the Senate, as Pardee predicts he viii
stand, ''as Paul stood among The proph-
/ ets-the noblest, the wisest, and the
{ best The whole country viii feel an
unusual interest in the Senatorial career
/ of Miller, of California, and II he fails
/ TO redeem the extTavagsut promises
+ made by Pardee in his behalf, it will
simply be = realization OF the fate OF
many another embryo statesman who
/ has had greatness suddenly thrust up
/ on him-going up likes rocket and com
/ ing down like "a rock. From such 5
fate may Miller be delivered and Par
dee's reputation thereby saved.

shot and fatally wounded. The next day
two men, named Brooks and GTcfily, were

greatest excitement prevails in the county.
Several parties have been arrested and re-
moved from that section for fear Of lynch
