wnlic Nhito Convention.
Democratic Executive!
issued a call for a Stale
llie party to bo held in
'''^ Tuesday, the 15th day of
|p 1 P?i< to adopt a platform oi
candidates for
KtO ofllCGS and' KloO.tOfS for I'm ,-iPlont
and Vice-President of the I oiled
Slates.
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.

Now for Law and Order.
Honorahlcs \Y. J. Whipper and K.
J. Moses, Jr. went before Chicl Justice
Moses last week and qualified as judges,
respectively, of the liist and lliiid
cit en its.
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.
The lionan/.a bill was a
scheme to enable the corrupt
members of the Legislature to still
further plunder the tax payers, 'l'o
reform the party in their otc/i ranksi
and faithful to his pledge and oath
of office, (jov. Chamberlain vetoed it.
To sccuie their ends and triumph in
Ihcir oirn ranks the radicals, led by
Mr. Eliott, elected Moses to a judgeship.
Ever bearing in mind his oft
declared highest aim, ambition and
i purpose to reform his party in its
own ranks and make it perpetual in

Chief Justice Moses di-.l not consider
this thing a farce to ho played hy

tracks."
In this county the Democrats are in
the majority, the olliccs tilled I?y clec
lion are of that, party; those tilled by
appointment are *?t the Republican
party. Now which set of ollicera do
the most credit to themselves and
i heir parly? 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?
If a radical return) is a neces.-ily, we
must begin with the rising generation;
our common school children must he

that const Utile true man and womanhood;

The National Republican parly recognizes
"the appointment and (dec- \
lion of women to the superintendence !
of education, charities and other public
trust." Now, as our public schools I
have leached the superlative degree ol
worse, any change must he ior the
heller. As we have intelligent, hightoned
women nmhug us, who have
shown energy and practical common
sense in llio rearing of children and in
the management ol their own nlVairs,
wo may safely trust the superintendence
of our common schools to some
ol them. If, alter serving one term,
she has not made an improvement in our
schools, let us elect another, and thus
continue to do, till we have given the
women a fair chance of wasting as
much time and spending as much public
money as the men have had. It is
hut reasonable to allow a lady to take
as mm-h interest as ! ??r husband in the
rearing of their children.

in the House the lull in relation to
the protiotion of tlio Texian frontier
and the difficulty with the negroes in
Hamburg, South Carolina, on the 4th

1 >11L while (iov? Ilayes in his letter
munriit's good sentiments it also enibh's
us to easily Had reasons why he
;hoahl not be eleclod. His line prom- ^
ses of reform, which he perhaps, sin- ,
crcly feeds, will ho as weak as water
n the face of the machinery of his par- j
y. 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.

In my last loiter I wrote of the
perils which at present beset tiio hat,

lady, but 1 am free to confess that
Lurried away by my feellings of surpiise
at the adroitness with which our
holloa are wont to poise their ivory
chips tit the back of their hotels I neglected
the extraordinary skill with
which they plant, their round huts of
black straw down over their eyes in
front I loth are equally remarkable,
and serve to impress me with increasing
ideas ot respect for creatures who
can with such facility adapt t hemsclvos
to whatever may be demanded of them.
Nor should the above faculty of the
Igminiue mind lie ovetlooked by our

Dicks, Harrys ol the present will bo
completely oulilonc by those ol the
Betseys, Marias anil .lanes ol the

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.

lines of buttons which arc placed care*
fully out of the propel range either of

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. A good
many will make up their minds, in
j spite ol all this, that a magazine lurI
nished for a whole year, postage paid,
for twenty-five cents, can hardly he
first-class; hut seeing is believing, and
it any of your numerous readers subscribe
for it by writing to Ehrieh it
Co., Eighth avenue, New York and
are not satisfied that it was a "big
investment," let them never again put
confidence in Madame Radix.
