That county "isoathe Watkiudi slate, and this uuex ieeted move is water on tlw wheel of Judge Ilayden.

The proceedings ot our County Con- Tention will bo found on another page of this morning's pajH:r. The action of the Convention was of a most harmonious character, and the result cannot but be ceusidered a success. The entire ticket is composed of the best talent in the county tor the several place to be tilled, and the Integrity and honesty of purpose of each and everv one are above suspicion. Of course a number of members and eatidl aitea were (iisappoiiiueu, as iiiuh. ua ure - . ,. t . , .

That dpg"iierate oflsprlng ol Democratic chivalry of "liesouf," Brigadier 'General Brown, editor ol tha Albauy Democrat, Inquires; "What is tlie imtter with T.ro. Waters ol the Salem STAWMAx? Ho Is so terri bly soured over the .Marion County Repub lican nominations that he sarcastically publishes the list at the gable end of his paper, in the reverse order, heading the list with ('owner, and closing at the tall with tlie Representatives! We don't see why he priuts the ticket If he only does it to insult the caudidates and ridicule ids party." In the RepuUesn party all men are eual. The President of the United States Is no greater than a Justice ot the Peace, both belnsubiect to tlie same law and subject t the same danger Of being called upon to servo their country in any official capacity. : We set up the ticket in tlie order In which the candidates were nominated, not dreaming that any one felt himself supe rior to any associate on tlie ticket, or to any other Republican citizen. The Gen eral belongs to that chivalrous class of Democrats where a Brigadier General Is not compelled to accept a challenge from a Brevet Brigadier, because of the differ ence in rank, but it does not apply to the true Uepubllcau or genuine Democratic ideas. In addiliou, the name of Dr. FUke, headed our ticket, and certainly no geutle nun in the party will pronounce lib office unimportant or his Uleuts aud bearing un worthy ot any mau in Marlon county, Should we undertake toclassily candidates according to rank, not being versed In the code of honor as Brown teaches, we would be really at sea.

Statesman: Since the conventions of two great political parties of Marion county are numbered among the things ot the pa it, button-holing has gone out ot fashion, and things about Gervau have assumed their former qtilet appearance. Tlie Republicans, so tor as I have been able to learn, are well pleased with their ticket taking it altogether, and the general verdict is tliat it is tbe best aud least ob jectionable ticket that bas been placed In tlie field for six or eight years. The un ter rified, unwaslied. tuo regenerated Deinoc racy, have no show against the Republi can party in this county ' in this, the cen tennial year of our grand and glorious Republic. Tliey had aa well throw up tbe sponge and retire from tlie contest. Tne farmers in this vicinity are feeling somewhat discouraged .on account ot tbe continuous bad weather, aud the prospects are very good for a short crop of apring sowed grain. Fall sown grain, however, is looking quite well aud should the weath er clear up soon a good crop may be ex pected. .
