. Tae Craw¥orp County.SysTem.—. aes ‘What is known as the Crawford County eee System of ‘making nominations for ofae is oe very: pepoiar in eet ~ adopting it: The Crawford County. ~ Rebablicans: first repudiated thedele-: Wie system andadopted certain regulations under which the members of the party voted directly for candidates ___for office. Those who are members of. the party in good and regular standing . Were permitted to vote at these elections, atid under our Primary lection "Law ample protection would be had against fraud by outsiders. The Crawford County System is established and carried out under the rules established by the tlie County Central Committee.: ~ It was established in 1861. By these rules the candidates are required to havé their names announced in one or tnore of the county papers at least three weeks prior to the election. The voters of each precinct meet at the usual place of holding elections and elect a Judge ~ and Clerks of election to receive vote’ ~ and determine who are proper persoris " to'vote. The hours of holding election are fixed by law. Each person is al~— which candidates are to be elected After the polls are closed the votes are counted and duly certified by the officers of election; The Judge or one of the Clerks designated by him is required to meet at the county séat on a day designated, within a week after the élection and bring the returns of his __ precinct, ‘The votes are then canvassed, and the person having the highest number of votes for any office is declared the regular nominee of the party. In case ofa tie a vote of the Judges decides, turns where fraud is committed, to the extent of the fratid. In case of State or Congressional nominations the vote is taken in the same way for the candidates preferred, and the Judges appoint representatives to vote for the choice of the majority. This system has been in operation since 1861 and has only been amended so as to require persons voting to support the nominations made, The Chairman of the Crawford County Comimittee says in a recent let— terto an adjoining county: “Experience shows the system not to be free from abuse, but is a decided improvement over the preceding one—of having delegates make nominations. The ~ abuse isin allowing persons not inem— bers of the party to yote.” With a test ~ based on past record and with our Primary Law, there would be Jess danger ’ of abuse than in Pennsylvenia. SomE one has started the question whether there ig any connection between heavy beards and bald heads, A London paper says there is—or rath" er, a repulsion, as between the positive be poles. of two magnets,—maintaining ~/<. that beards divert the growth of hair from the head, where it is an intolerable burden, to the chin, where it is comparatively harmless. ANOTHER “GROUND SWELL.”—The ' “first gun” of the Spring campaign. in New York, was fired at Palmyra on the 8d, At the charter election held that day the Republican ticket was elected for the first time in ten years. This ~~ great battle was fought under the banner of “Grant and Fenton.” FRANCE added 785 miles to her railway system during the twelve months ending with September, 1867, making — miles now in a qperation. lk ERENCE lowed to vote once for each office for . _. The Judges are. required to reject re~. __ ‘gee no way to a loss of the rights of settlers on the 5 wile belt of lands being surveyed, either in odd or éven sections. “Tle setilérs cannot watch for themselves for such filing . of maps. No principle; or fairness, or . justice dictated that decision of Wilson —it must have been the suggestion of some one interested in getting away the rights of settlers. Wilson. has ‘not an immaculate’ reputation for unapproachability. The plats referred to may be put away in a drawer, and nebody be wiser, till every pre-emption and mining claim in the mountain counties is lost. It is-evident that there -is some one needed at Washington to look after tlie interests of miners and settlers in these half dozen. counties along the ‘Pagificand Placerville road. Any California member of Congress who sees this letter in print, and who does not at. once understand its fatal stab at prop— erty rights in Culifornia, and in fact: in dill. the new States, where settlement precedes surveys, and who does not in— troduce and pass a bill to compel the notice referred to, to be given,should be ‘booted from the State if he éver Feturns here. We must beg of the Gaakanbiarts Union to have its reporters watch the land office at Sacramento, and announce as most important intelligence,. the date when any new township map may be filed in that office. “The following is the article and letter from the Appeal; — IMPoRTANT TO SETTLERS.—The fol~ ! lowing letter was addressed on the out— er envelope to the Register and Receiver of the eg Land Office, but was evidently intended for the Sacramento officé> wever, as it conveys intelligence equally as relative to one office as the other, we give it publication : Department of Interior,General Land Office, February 14th, 1868. “Register ‘and ‘Receiver, Cal. Gentlemen :—Referring to the Register’s letter of the 18th ult., relative to giving settlers on unsurveyed ed lands notice of the time of the filing of plats, I have to advise you that the 7th Section of the Act of May 80, 1862, conferring the privilege of pre-eniption . settlement’‘on unsurveyed lands; does not make any provision for notiee to settlers of the time. of filifig of the plats. Further, that this Office is not authorized to incur any expense for such purpose, therefore the settlers must _ a their own vigilance in obtaining the desired information. Very ee your ob’tserv’t, Wiison, Commiss’r, Firemen's Dritu.—Chief Migtonse Schmittburg has ordered out Pennsyl-. -vania Engine’‘Company on next Satur—. day afternéon for trial of the water works and practice.
