There is needless controversy going on
now between the editors of the Springfield
Register and the Burlington Gazette, as re-
CARDS the attitude of Mr., Clendenin, the
present editor OF the Register, towards Mr.
Tiiden in 1879, and since. Mr.. Parker, of
the Gazette, would willingly do no man
any injustice, but in this instance he is
under mistake. During the period spo
ken of, the editor of the ARGUS was on
terms of special intimacy with Mr. John
P Irish, of Iowa City, at that time and al
ways, the boldest and most cor sistent
Tilden man IN Iowa. and bis recollection
is that Mr.. Clendenin was always referred
to by Mr.. Irish, as firm supporter in his
efforts in the Tilden interest. Mr.. Glen
denim has always been firm and true
democrat, an honor to our party, and one
who has done much to render the party
useful

THE NEW YORK QUESTION.

The question for the democratic state
convention to consider is not whether the
Tammany Hall or the Irving Hall of the
committee of one hundred delegates shall
be entitled to seats in the convention, but,
in each one of the twenty four assembly
districts of the city and county of New
York. which one of the contending sets OF
delegates was chosen in compliance and in
accordance with the famous Cassidy reso
luton, adopted by the State Convention
of 1871, and reading as follows:
Resolved, That hereafter no delegate
shall be received from the city of New York
as a member of the State Convention I'M
less he shall have been elected by an as
sembly district convention as delegates are
now chosen in several countries of the
state; and that he shall present certificate
of election from the convention of
said assembly district, so that each
assembly district shall have an orga-
nization originating with the Demo
cratic voters thereof, without the call of
any central county authority; which shall
be separate and Independent, and have re-
lation only with the state convention; and
that, at the organization of the state con-
vention, each district shall be separately
called and each delegate shall individually
answer"
Halls and Hundreds are not to be known
by the convention. 1t is not impossible
that the appliance of the above test may
in one district result in the admission of
delegates who train with Irvine Hall. while
in another they may call themselves Tam
manyites, and in third Committee of One
Hundreditcs, while in fourth this test
may rule them all out and admit delegate
entirely outside of these organizations.
The sooner democratic state conventions
cease dealing with the city of New York
as an entirety and commence treating each
assembly district by itself, as it does coun
try assembly districts, the better for the
democratic party. The unit of representa-
ton is not the country OF the city; it is the
assembly district.-.SyracuSs Courier.

the British not to adopt the protective
principle. This consistency they do not
design to explain. They told US over and

CURRENT COMMENT.

Syracuse Courier (Dem,) August 291
That the late Legislature was rotten to
the core was notorious. For purchasing,
or attempting to purchase, votes for Sena-
tor, at least one member of the Legislature
and several lobbyists are to-day under in
dictment by the Grand Jury of Albany
county, and their trials are set down for
the September term of court. The revela-
tions to be made ON those trials will doubt
less be of value to the Senate in deciding
on the right of both Messrs. Miller and
Lapham to seats in that body. The Senate
will, no doubt, act in the matter with due
elaboration and with full knowledge of
the facts before it. Meanwhile both Miller
and Lapham win find cool retreats in the
corridors.
Hudson Register Dem.), August 2s.l
The republican press are of course enrap
tured with the report that Senator Beck
has stated that he would vote for Senator
Anthony, conservative republican" for

what conservative republican is we do
not know. There are republicans who get
in hotel room with strange company, and
there other republicans who mount step
ladder and peep through the transom of

tive and the other may not be, but associ-
alton with either does not improve morals.

Nears. Editors IL Discomfort is The order Of
the day. What nngratefnl beings we arel Al
ways growing and grumbliBg, and never salts
fed. First Il ia too cod then too warm, but then
suppose Il is hcrdelary, and we are not to be
severely censurcd after ALL However, We ad-

And, nv the WAY, Messrs Editors while we
are thus lost and IN admiration Of the healthful
works ofnai ure, wrought upon theoutside world
lei us not forget 10 make brief mention Of the
entertainment held at our village tMechanics-
vile on lns, Friday night, the 18th inst The
day was fair, but the heat was oppressive, with
but little subsequent change. However. slight
and very pleasant brceze, occasioned by an om-
inous appearance Of the sky, arose about the
time Of the commencement Of theexercises. The
supper, consisting Of all the delio,cies Of the
season, was served abou, O'Clock, after which
the doors were opened for the entertainment,
which consisted Of ChArades, Tableaux, Duets,
&c. Owing 10 the inclemency Of the evening,
full attendance was wanting; nevertheless, there
was quite large namber. Capt. Sylvester, from
Charlotte Hall, 10 very neat and eloquent man
ner, delivered the opening address which elected
from the audience strict and marked attention.
The exercises closed promptly at aquarter to ~,
and may say, quite satisfactorily to all. The
object Of this entertainment was to raise funds
to aid in the erection of Protestant Episcopal
church in this village. Too much cannot besaid
in praise Of those goodly ladies upon whom de
vol,ed this important affair. greatly re-
gretmy inability to inform you OF the amount
realized, but hope il was large.

The New SENsATIoN.--The stunning
political sensation Of The past few days
is the resignation of The two New York
Senators, Conkling and Plat, and the
extraordinary and Inconsequential as
signment they have made public for the
act. President Garfield. it, seems has
deceived these Senators in the matter
OF certain New York appointments,
which is very likely, but how the decep-
ton of the President hould necessitate
the resignation Of these gentlemen as
Senator's they neither show themselves
nor can any fellow make out. We can
understand why cabinet or other Of
fice-holder might consider it his duty TO
resign his place on account of differen-
cas with his chief, but why member
of the legislative department of the gov
eminent should feel called upon TO abdi-
cate his trust because of executive IN
truthfulness, or executive anythieg else,
is beyond the limits Of rational q kippre-
kansion. The San supposes that Ne ac-
tioh of the N. Y. Senators has reference
so the game ofpolitcs" and "Is simply
one more move upon the political chess
board and is intended as a check TO the
president" We give this explanation
IN the absence Of better, and express
the hope. in the meanwhile, that the
war between Conkling and Garfield,
having now commenced in earnest,
may be kept up until the full secrets
OF their trade and traficks at Mentor and
elsewhere have been dragged forth into
the open daylight.

The recent intense heat has completely exter-

pleted by some of our ueighbors.

friend, Charles 3. Riggs, who expired, after two

was inferred in Christ Church Cemetery, Chspti-
co, on the 9th. This estimabIe young man had
just entesed into the broad field Of manhood
when the grim destroyer -death-cailed him to

him, and make US vigilant watchers that at the
last day we be prepared to meet our reward.
