Thtru will he in tlio convention some division of sentiment on the policy of running a straight out Democratic ticket or a coalcseneo with the Republican party or, at least, the Governor's election?otherwise being content with Gov. Ghninberhdn in ease lie is nominated by the Republican party. | Although this latter policy has been strongly urged, and was the reason why the last convention did nothing in regard to the ^lato elect ions, we believe tlio sentiment ol the party j throughout lilt- Stato is now largely in favor ot a slraightout Democratic ticket, am] thin sentiment, is last gaining ground. At least y/oln'lieve such to lm the case in tliUr county. For the sake of speedy reform wo could have wished otherwise than for a straight out ticket, but the fates seem to have so willed if We believe if an early call had been made for a convention representing all who favor reform, without regard to party, and that convention had nominated Cov. Chamberlain with other I 1 {(-publicans and Democrats on the j ticket in whom the people could have trusted, that that ticket and reform would have signally triumphed in the coming election. We know it will he urged against suedi a course that Covernor Chamberlain would not accept such a nomination, because it would break up bis parly. Wo nay Gov. Chambeil tin could not refuse such a nomination without proving to the wot Id that In* m opposed to rclorm, and his past and present history as Governor a hand and his words lor rclorm lies. It nvght bo urged that there would he Ktie.lt a want of confidence in the success of such a scheme t hat. no convention id any weight could he got togi titer. If that he the case then it. is very evident that reform is a secondary matter with hoth parties, and until its necessity overweighs party consideration wo consider it a logway oft", Ilowcvei we suppose nil these things havo hcen well weighed and balanced by the party leaders, and we shall yield to their Judgment.

This act ion on the part of Chief .lustice Closes, swearing in these two claimants (whose commissions have been refused by the Governor on the grounds that there was no vacancy to w hich they could he elected and their election was contrary to the constitution,) confirms the previously ex pres. soil opinion that his decision on the old Bonanza bill was bought with the pledge to elect his son to the judgeship. We won't say we are glad that Whipper and Moses have sworn in, but we can't say we are sorry. We want to see these reformists, in Ihcir oim ranks, work out of this pickle.

Is all the ctlicient service, integrity and lair dealing on one side, end all the venality, corruption and white washing on the othet? Would it not be more lair to conclude that we have fallen on evil times; that selfishness and greed; that a lovo ot display and vulvar ostentation; that a disinclination to manual labor, with many a laUe and disgusting pride, feeling that it is a degradation; that almost everybody is striving to throw the burden o{ his or liei existence on somebody else. Are not all these, with many other causes of a like nature, the reason of all our political woes?

Already we see a campaign coiniiitter with Zachariah Cliuullcr at its icad and Hill Kcuible of addition division and silence notcriety preparing lie corrupt machinery .'or stifling the jicople's will, and defeating Tilden and authful and much needed reform, l'hey will exact contributions from all Hire holders with a rigor never helore known. They will compel every .dork not only to contribute from his meager pay hut to go home at his own xpense and vote. They will demand and secure the dismissal of every employee of the government who cannot lie made an efficient instrument in the election. Does any sane man belic\e that those who are setting this powerful machinery to woik entertain the Tightest fear that their President, if elected, will or can prevent them from leaping the reward of their labor? They know from the nature of things, from the teachings of experience that Mr. Hayes' resolves will melt away like flax in the lire when the day of pressure comes on. \Y ith a party majority in Congress or even in the Senate he would be as poweiless as Andrew .Johnson. The tenure of oflicc act would enable the Senate oligarchy to retain all their creatures in power. It is therefore only necessary lor any intelligent friend of civil service reform to believe in the sentiments of Hayes letter of acceptance to ardently desire the election oi Tilden.

We can judge of the future only by the past, and we may safely conclude that the ease with which a woman may be transformed from a Democrat to a Republican, and vice versa, as circumstances may demand, will cause men in general to blush for shame, and confess their inferiority to woman. For this Summer at least, however, there is no danger ol competition from woman on national questions, since they will have employment enough m dressing themselves. For what in the world is so troublesome as a dress. ntriToxiCD at tiii: hack, and thai is just what they tire now spending their best energies upon. To speak more accurately, what strength remains to them after cruel and pro. longed combats with their bonnets, is exhausted in settling the vexed question ol the proper arrangement of long lines of buttons which arc placed care* fully out of the propel range either of touch or vision. 11 there 1h anything tantalizing in the world it is the necessity ol fastening on a button which is beyond your reach.

I cannot too strongly insist upon simplicity in the corsage. Nothing is so fashionable as those which lit with severity of plainness to the hips, while as if in compensation, or for effect of contrast, the drapery below hangs in a variety of convolution, which is fantastic beyond measure, and absolutely indescribable since every idea, either possible or impossible, seems to find representation.

There is something truly feminine about laec, and 1 note with pleasure that garments ol such fixture are presented this season in as great numbers its they have ever been. !>ut the present fancy is for French lace, and we see the majority of new sacajues and circuities in this style, which, in y reality, ai'e imitation ol the real thread, lias been given a better something appellation. During the winter Freue.lt lace was in unusual favor as a garnilute; at present it is the favorite trimming for grenadines, guu/.es, etc, and that there is no diminution in the popularity accorded to it, is apparent from its reproduction in so many out door garnicnts. All this to the disadvantage ol Llama lace, which although worn, is not regarded as the latest agony. Then, too, it must bo remeinbored that oat door garments in lace, liko those in heavier materials, are much longer than they were, and show 1110 peculiar idear of the day--"shadow" Ironts, tins being the name given the. lengthened mantilla, liko ends in front and'all manner ol circular and mantilla shapes. Belts are in great favor, not only with halt Fitting saeques, but with plain corsages. Tlie stylish belt of to-day, however, carries us back for many long years, and is made as those woven by our grandmothers, when they, like its, were fashionable. A HINT TO l'UKCIIASKKS. Iii my last monthly letter I casually mentioned a fashion book published by Khrich tfc Co., the enterprising dry goods merchants. The summer number of this publication has just appeared, and after an examination of its contents 1 feel so exceedingly impressed with the extraordinary attractiveness winch such a book must have lor ladies living away from the great city, that I intend to sny a word about it. By the magic ol this "Quatterly" Ehrieli tfc Co., stretch their long business counters as it were, into every household in the United States, so that ladies can pleasantly lean over them and purchase what they want at New Yoik pi ices. Ullrich's Fashion Quarterly is as much superior to the regular fashion magazines art a Hubstaniial slice of good pudding is to a cooking Recipe. Our lushion magazines are loo much inclined to publish elaborate, expensive, imported styles, which are a* far removed lroin the ordinary tastes ai.d needs of the most of us as is I lie $?<>,000 necklace at the Centennial. In ibis admirable "Quarterly" every article, suits for ladies and children, baby wear, every imaginable thing necessary to clothe or adorn woman?each has its well drawn illustration, iis clear business like description and the exact price at which the articleis sold; and each style can he relied on as the style actually worn hy the best JVew )'ork people; hut, besides this the magazine contains not only the prices of every desirable article but is also enriched with practical common sense articles from the pens of our most gifted ladies, and well selected liinfs lor Housekeeping and dressmaking, so 1 that it is universally uselul.
