A Gratifying Feature.

Mr. Editor A very gratifying feature OF the
Orange county convention, last week, was the
prompt rejection OF the names OF two persons as
candidates for office, for violation Of the pres
emit listing law, in having refused to give in their
lists in the prescribed manner. Every right
minded citizen must rejoice at this indication OF
respect for law and appreciation OF the duties Of
citizenship on the part of the convention. There
ought to be, not only on the part of conventions,
but OF Individuals just such marked disapproval Of
all such disregard OF law, whether by the highest
or lowliest citizen Of the state. A member of the
English parliament, In recent number OF the
Century Magazine says, that " when heartily
united and excited, the non confoTmists, and the
working classes, are masters Of England" and
how much more are the law-loying, law-abiding
citizens OF this state, and this country, the :" mas
tiers" II they will but assert their authority. Far
be 1t from them, then, to entrust the making,
interpreting or executing OF our laws, to law
breakers. One may, from " conscience toward
God" feel compelled to refuse obedience TO q
law las was the case when the fugitive slave law
was In being), and accept the penalty OF the law,
we know OF case, where a very CONSCIENTIOUS
man has allowed his list to be doubled under the
present law, and has paid taxes on more than he
Il WORTH lest he might make oath 10 statement
not In every particular exact. But these are OK
IRENE cases. and will not, when they occur, be
likely To be misunderstood, nor will the con
science" compelling them, fail to command re-
spect. II Is not such unusual cnses that we are
considering, but only disregard Of law from less
motive The people OF this state have been forced
TO endure the modification arising from the re-
fusal OF one OF lbs highest officers to comply with
the listing law, and OF some OF Its prominent
men In private life OF which refusal there has
been AZ yet no satisfactory explanation as we
have seen. The acceptance OF the penalty OF this
broken law can be no "atonement" for the
breaking OF II. The least duty Of every mar
towards such persons Is the Withholding OF yot,

The Second District.

In spite of the frequent declarations by
papers both in and outside Of the district
that the candidacy of General Grout for
representative from the second district will
prevail without struggle, there are not
wanting significant indications of a deter
mination on the part of the people in the
district TO emulate the action of the first
and bring forward for that Office the best
man in the district, even though he is not
candidate pushing to grasp the nomination
That General Grout is the ablest man in the
district, no one pretends. That he went to
congress at all from the third district as the
spontaneous choice of the voters, is not
claimed. His candidacy was artificial, the
result of much hard work and great outlay
of money. He has recently obtained an in
definite leave of absence from the duties he
was elected to discharge and for which he
is paid. "Important business" is the rea-
son alleged for this absence. But the peo-
pie understand, as well as II 1t had been
plainly stated in so many words, that the
"important business is to look after his
nomination to congress from the new Sec
ond district. The comments of the Free
man, quoted elsewhere, upon his abandon
ment of his pest at this time are pertinent
and incisive. The people of this district
feel abundanty able to take care of General
CIRCUITS important political affairs without
his assistance or without any interference
from him. The people of the state will
hardly look with more favor upon man
who abandons his post to electioneer for
himself than upon the man who violates the
tax law and shirks upon his neighbors
burdens of taxation which he himself
should bear, and Orange county has given
practical illustration of the light in which
the action of men of the latter class is
viewed. The district contains men of the
first order of ability, and the people can
make their choice from among them If it is
their earnest purpose to compensate for the
states reduced representation by the quality
of the representatives hereafter chosen.
Entertaining such a purpose, the place for
them to express it and to assert their d" in
alienable right to free and independent
choice of their public servants is at the
caucus.
