MAY o, 1881.
The Conservative City Committee organ
lied on Saturday by the election OF Mr.. j.
Singleton Diggs as superintendent and Mr..
Robert Yancey secretary. A long and
spirited meeting was held in Major
Daniels office, at which the preliminary
terms and details OF the proposed
primary election were debated and
settled. Mi. A. M. Davies, as representa-
tive OF the Citizens Association, was
in attendance, and urged in the committee
the incorporation, in its scheme OF the pri-
mary, of a resolution that appears to have
been adopted at the late mass -meeting.
There appearing TO be some ambiguity about
the language Of the resolutiOn--as to whe-
Their 1t would permit Radicals to vote in the
primary-the committee very decidedly re-
jected it, and limited the privilege OF voting
TO Conservatives only who should consent
to be bound by the result of the election.

fixed for the "caSt of the die"

nations should be made. Anybody can
vote, OF course, for anybody else; and as
the Regulators" will probably have a
ticket agreed on, they may defeat their op.
ponents, as the latter are at the disadvan-
iage OF not having any machinery by which
to agree and unite upon nominations.
The collections of internal revenue for
The week ending Saturday amounted 10

The sales OF tobacco in the city ware
houses for the past week amounted TO 9i6,-

"TOO Thin"

The Republicans endeavored to make the
public believe that when they for six weeks
refused to go into executive session they
were for fighting for "great principle"
But they deceived nobody, so far as heard
from. Now the same Republicans declare
that Nj. GARFIELD is trying TO be both the
President and the Senate OF the United
States, and should be stopped in his mad
career. This pretence is as gauzy as the
other. 1t was the Republican Conklingites
who proposed to divest the President OF the
appointing power which the Constitution
coniers upon him, and give it TO single
Republican senator. 1t was they that in
caucus resolved that one Republican senator
might, by Directing TO the present conside-
ration OF a nomination, send it over until
next winter. Mr.. C0NKLING devised
this notable scheme, which was nothing
more nor less than violation of the Con-
stitution Of the United States in that 1t sub
stituted a single senator for the body Of the
Senate and stripped the President OF his
prerogatiyes under that Constitution. Yes.
prerogatives; for the powers which the
Constitution places in the Presidents hands
no body OF men, no set OF politicians.
whether senators OF not, can innOcenlly take
away from him. They are, therefore, his
prerogatiyes.
For these reasons the Republicans might
rs well cease their clamor. The people are
not TO be deceived by the false pretences set
up by the stalwarts. They are not quite so
verdant. The truth is known to them, and
they will laugh to scorn The assertion that
LOGAN, CoSKLING, CAMERON, DAWES, and
HoAR are defending the Constitution.

A few nights ago | had an awful attack Of
rheumatism in the right knee. 1t was so
bad that / thought l would have to close
up my store. / remembered | had been
selling a good deal OF ST. Jacobs Oil for

The propriety of holding the COnserva-
tive Convention at an earlier day than the
4tb OF August is insisted on by many men,

reason for so doing. 1t has for years past

hold their conventions in August. and the
plan has been found to work well.-North-

considered quite critical by bis friends, and
grave appreoensions are felt In regard to his
recovery. He was at his Office as usual on

fully with bis family and immediate friends,
but since then be has not improved. The
circulation is reasonably regular, indicating
considerable physical vigOr, and his mental
faculties are unclouded, but bis condition
at a late hour last night did not give any
substantial hopes OF bis recovery. His
dangerous illness has excited widespread
and heartfelt interest in the community.
