. 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

‘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

“Register ‘and ‘Receiver,
Cal. Gentlemen :—Referring to the
Register’s letter of the 18th ult., relative to giving settlers on unsurveyed

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

authorized to incur any expense for
such purpose, therefore the settlers
must _ a their own vigilance
