CLEARING ERRORS.
The Press Eagle Falls Into Several of Them in Re porting the County
 Convention.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Press-Eagle, makes several errors in reporting the proceedings of last Saturdays Democratic County Con- vention These inaccuracies are evi- dently due to the fact that the Press Eagle had no reporter at the table set apart for the press, and It's repre- sentative did not, therefore, keep well informed of the proceedings of the convention
 For instance, the Press-Eagle says
 aFhe majority report [of the com mittee on credentlals1 after a spirit ed debate, wns adopted by vote of D ayes to 22 noes, the vote of the Third Ward, according to ruling of the chair, being east 12 votes for the report and 6 against it The ward was entitled to g votes, and as three of the eontesting delegates were also members of the original delegation (whose seats he de- elared were uneontestedD the chair held that these three delegates were entitled to two votes each, which made l2 votes for and 5 against the majority report This parliament tary outrage being consummated, the rest of the work Of the eonven- ton was smooth sailing, but it was not consummated without vigorous protest from tfe opposing delegates who saw fit to remain, about 16 in number
 "Fhe vote of the Third Ward, ae- eording to the ruling of the chair, being east 12 votes for the report and against it, says the Press Eagle
 Ne beg to remind our eontempo- rary that the chair made no such ruling, nor did the Third Ward vote 12 votes when it was only entitled ta 3 votes in the eonvention''
 The vote on the report of the com mittee on credentials was taken in pursuance of resolution adopted by the convention for voting on the same, IS follows:
 .sResolved. thatthe following rule he adopted in voting upon the re- port of Che committee on credentials: That No delegate he allowed to vote when his credentials are contested, this prohibition to apply until the contest against the delegate is set tied, and that when a whole dele gation Is contested, that until said contest is settled the ward or town ship so contested be not called. That when any delegate is reported by both delegations then such un- disputed delegates be allowed 10 vote like any other delegate in the convention.
 Our readers vii. therefore, clearly see that those whose seats were con tested could uotvate on the adop- ! tton of the report of the committee on credentials, and instead of east ing - votes, as stated by our con temporary, the Third Ward only east three votes. these being the votes Of MessCs. Adams, Jordan and I Drew White. whose seats were un- contested,
 The contested seats from the First | and Second Wards were. threfere. I settled by the votes of the country | delegates and the uncontested dele cations from the Second and Fourth . Wards
 II vii, therefore. be seen that ao @pariamentary eutrase1 was "eonsummated but that the report f was adopted under the rules govern ing the same, and oy the votes oi the country and uucontested dele cations.

The new water batteries TO the east

of them no guns are yet visible. In the

THE HONOR OF THE SEXES.
Any Analysis VIII Prove the SUI
periority of Women.

We have become so accustomed to hear
the time-worn masculine dictum that
women have no sense of honor unthink-
tngly repeated by even notably chivalrous
men in perfect good faith, as though sim
ply stating a fact, and with an utter I'M
consciousness of the insult implied, that
it is, perhaps. apt TO he cursorily accepted
as incontrovertible.
Examination and reflection show its
Righteousness by the fact that women are
generally the severer judges, more es-
pecially in regard to their own sex. in the
event of any breach of the law Of honor.
which is defined by Paley in his Moral
Philosophy as "a system of rules con-
structed by people of fashion, and calcu-
lated to facilitate their intercourse with
one another a law which is already
more rigid in some respects for women
than for men.
In the ma jcrity of grave cases. women
of any principle-and 1t is only those of
principle in either sex VINO are affected
by honor-are quite strictly honorable
and nunctiious as men, and help with
all their hearts to maintain the code.
/ should think that a man was the
author of the assertion that a woman
has less sense Of honor than his own sex.
The generality OF women is proud of her
upright good name and her reputation.
Honor is uppermost in her mind. as a
rule in the serious and extensive dealings
of life. She hates to feel that she is
taking a mean advantage. or getting tn
better of a fellOw-creature. and would
sooner lose the bargain than her honor
In deails OF life with which she has
chiefly to deal her honor is sometimes
questioned and shaken. She can, with
greater ease than a man. backbite her
neighbors, read a letter not meant for
her eyes, or listen to conversation not
meant for her ears. But these devia-
tons do no harm to any one outside her
self. They are petty and small, and the
outcome of spite and curiosity.
writer who claims that men have q
keener sense of honor than women for
got. when he published his discovery
abroad. that the love of getting the best
of a bargain is always prominent in q
mans nature. He passed over the very
general sharp practice exercised when any
dealings in hOrseflesh. for instance, take
place; he ignored the workings of the
successful stockbroker, and numerous
other trades in which men alone are en-
gagged, and in which. upon close cxamina>
ton and near investigation, honor is not
a shining light.
A mans sense of honor when il Is con.
nected with business matters or his own
gain, becomes generally lax and vague.
and results in dishonesty and fraud
Therefore. il may be asserted that sense.
of honor is far stronger in woman than in
man, and is not only stronger but acted
up to by her with more determination ana
than by him.
