ATThs New York Times, 81 inst., a
Republican paper that supported and
commended Vice President ARTHUR in
the campaign last year, Gays:
"When James A. Garfield was yester-
day lying At the point OF death new Bit
lerness was added to the poiguaDcy OF
public grief by the thought that Chester
A. Arthur would be his successor This
is a staple statement OF fact, whose truth
can be regretted by none more than its
recorder. Gen. Arlbar is about the last
man who would be considered eligible to
that position did the choice depend on
the voice either OF majority o! his own
party or OF majority OF the people OF
tue United States. Gen. Arthur has
held for four months an office which &C.
quires importance only in view OF such
an emergency as the crime OF Guiteau
was intended to create. Such dignity as
beseens even the formal responsibilities
OF that Office he has bat indilfersntlJ
maintained; such reticencs anil self-re-
s.raint SO belong to its posslhilities aud
Its estimation in the eyes OF thoughtful
men, he ha. entirely disregarded."
Viewed in the light OF that article,
ARrHuc whom the Republicans uomins-
ted at Chicago for Vice President, is SIM
ply . nobody-of whom they arc hesr-
ti.y tired and ashamed. Repentance
comes late 10 this case, yet it shows
plainly that the Republican party lead
ers will deliberately nominate for the
Vice Presidency, and commend him 10
the people, man Of whom candor com,
psls them to say that even the thought
I-of his elevation to the Presidency "aad-
ed to the poisnancy of public grief' tell
for the prostrate, almost murdered Pres.
ident. The shooting Of the President
has caused the Republican press TO lay
bare its former false and hypocrisica
pretensions.

Some Of the candidates for Common

old wheel-borses Of the Democracy, who

have turned their hack on the proposed
plan to rule out Pul,ney, or any other
lowneh;p that IS not in accord with the

county committees for years, and per-
haps is now, we learn that Pultney wlll

"God Reigns and the Government
at Washington Still Lives"

at Washington Still Lives"
At the North Presbyterian Church the
Rev. S B. Rossiter, in the course of his
illusions to the national calamity, rela-
ted dramatic and historical incident in
which President Garfisld was concerned
and in which he quelled an angry crowd
Of people who were ripe for any act Of
violence. 1t was the morning after
President Lincoln's assassination. The
country was excited TO its utmost tension,
and New York city seemed ready for
the scenes Of the French Revolution.
Tue intelligence Of Lincoln's murder
had been flashed by the wires over the
whole land. Fear took possession OF
mems minds as to the fate of the GOV.
ernment, for in few hours the news
came that Seward's throat was Cut and
that attempts had been made upon the
lives OF other government officers. Ii
was o dark and terrible hour. What
might come next no one could tell, and
men spoke with bated breath. The
wrath Of the workingmen was simply
uncomfortable. and revolvers and knives
were in the hands of thousands OF Lin
coins friends. ready at the first oppor-
tunity, to take the law into their own
hands and avenge the death OF the mar
tyred President upon any and all who
dared utter word against him. Fifty
thousand people crowded around the
Exchange building, cramming and JAM

as men could stand together. General

and thrilling effect. But not hurrah,
not one. 1t was the cry OF great peo-
pie asking to know how their Presiden;
died. Butler was pulled through the
crowd and entered the room. A broad
Grape, yard long, hung from his left

From the Belmont Chronicle, 7sh inst.

The Democratic central committee OF
this county met last Saturday. Among
other business transacted, was the adop-
tIon of resolution providing for the
election OF fifty-'our delegates by The
Democrats OF the county al large. Each
candidate for judge is requested to nom-
mate ticket OF that number of dele
gates, which shall be headed by his name,
and these tickets the chairman o the
committee is required to have printed
and distributed among Democrats of the
various election precinsts. On the 30th
day of July an election of delegates will
take place, the polls to be kept open
from l to o'clock. The fiity-four per-
sons receiving the highest number OF
votes will be the delegates from Bel
mont county in tue judicial convention
In the event Of the non-attendance OF
any delegate chosen, the candidate whose
delegate ticket was elected is empower
ed TO fill such vacancy.
This is the scheme devised by the
Democratic .'bosses" Of this country to
make Belmont solid. The pan requires
that the delegates chosen shall be .taken
from the different townships in the ratio
of one for every 100 Democratic votes"
This feature OF the scheme is very
transparent attempt to make the distri-
button and choice Of delegates seem a
fair one, but surely the man who Is de-
ceived into that notion must be very
shallow man, indeed. For instance, un-
der this arrangement, while each town.
ship must be allotted it's due representa-
ton in the convention. its choice Of del
egates may be utterly de6ed. The town
ship has no voice in determining whom
of its citizens shall be voted for, and,
indeed. the delegate ticket rejected by
the Democratic voters of such town.
ship may receive such vote in the bal
ance Of the county as will elect it, and
thus have delegates representing con-
siituency which has rejected them. The
managers think this an ingenious plan,
and are congratulating themselves over
their deliverance from defeat; but it will
not work, To illustrate: 1t is a WE'LL
known fact that in one ofthe large town.
ships of the county there is feeling of
bitter hostility to one OF the sspiran,s
residing in this county. Notwithstand-
ing all the talk about nominating a
Belmont county man, the nomination OF
this man would raise a howl of opposi.
ton among the Democrats Of that town
ship. No doubt he has sufficient friends
in the township to fill his ticket with
the number of persons required to rep.
resent that township on it. Suppose Ire
does 80, and gets but small per Gen.
tun of the votes OF that township, but
in the balance Of the county gets votes
enough to elect his ticket, is it likely the
Democrats of that township will quietly
submit to being represented by delegates
not Of their choosing, who are voting
for a candidate utterly repugnant to
then3 This is one OF the difficulties
the scheme is likely to encounter.
But few, comparatively, of the men,
bers OF the committee we're present. A
few others we're represented by proxies.
