The Democratic primaries In this city en Saturday called out an unprccedent edly large vote, wlilcli Is n token or the interest felt by the party In maintain ing for Lancaster, through ita represent ative In the mayoralty, the wise, eco nemlcal and yet progrcsstve aduilnlstra aduilnlstra Wen which has been afforded during May or MacOenlgle's three terms. Thcre was little previous excitement and a very brief canvass by the candidates, but nearly two thousand voters came out te attend the primaries and tnade a free and fair expression of their preferences. Nene of the candidates have any cause te be ashamed of the result, noref the means by which It was effected, and these who failed and their friends will bejust as ready te turn in and ratify the nominations as Mr. McMulleu's friends would have been had he been In u mi nority. The Democratic candidate, selected by a decisive majority ever all, In such a fall vete, needs no Introduction te our citizens. Ills qualifications nre well known. By education, profession and Interest he la identified with these affairs which are the concern of geed city gov ernment. Ills capacity, integrity and industry are well known te all who knew him. He is n geed lawyer, and, what Is mera te the point, he Is a geed citizen. Elected repeatedly te councils from a Republican ward, he has demonstrated ills knowledge of nnd ability te deal with municipal affairs te the satisfaction of his cons' ituents and Invlewefall our citizens. Ills ready discernment of the right, hlapremptness nnd courage te de it, his untiring atten tlen te details and hW practical knewl edge of affairs are the qualifications which fit one for the office ter which the Democracy present hlin and te which the peeple will elect him. Tub responsibility of the county com mlssleners for all or any part of the large amount of money witli which the beard of county auditors surcharge them, is a matter which will properly corae before the courts for their adjudication, and need3 no public discussion, provided the commissioners, who are at once the de fendants in these cases and the custodians of the plaintiff 8 Interests.meve promptly te get them at Issue. They will, of course, appeal from the judgment of the auditors ; and then there must ba no such delay In having an issue f r.imed as was suffered in the matter of the surcharges made by the auditors in 1SS2. The public has geed reason te believe that in this matter of costs in dismissed cises, and perhaps in ether particulars, the county Is annually robbed of large suras of money ; the auditors have put it very strongly that way in their last two reports ; and the commissioners ewe it te themselves and the public te bring this isiue before the courts with out delay. An esteemed correspondent, himself one of the striking exceptions te a class complained of, takes u the cudgels for the much abuse!

It is equally undeniable that some of their contemporaries li ive se grossly abused the eillce and fill the quarter sessions courts with such a rubbish of petty business that there i resisonuble ground fur tlie belief that the substitu substitu tlen of a lower court for the present system of nldermen and justices would relieve the quarter sessions ai d save the administration of law from scandal -- The Philadelphia Uecerd asks us te reread its article en tobacco and then apologize for having said It was diaiu genueus and had said what it ought te retract or pieve. Upen rereading we find that the Ifccenl said : "Penusjlvania Is used only In ordinary cigars," and that the Connecticut leaf "loin age dis placed Pennsylvania leaf" in the market. It new says that it meaut "mainly" when It said "only." We accept till i as a partial retraction ; and new will the Recerd please prove that Connecticut tobacco has long age displaced Pennsyl. vanlaleaf In the market I Or will it gnaw the file offered te it by our esteem ed contemporary, the New Era V Or will the llccerd frankly admit that " its im petueslty In argument betrays it into unfairness r" Wendull PuiM.ii-a was a man of flne iutellf ct ; an aggressive, Intolerant, bitter and often Impracticable reformer.

Perhaps if the dissensions nmeng the government counsel break Inte open rupture the truth will conie out about the responsi bility for the miscarriage of justice in the proscutlens. Loud Colejueok gives the palm for beauty and intellect te American women; Slrlerel G riff en insists that Canadian and English women are hand somer and mere intellectual.

Tilt) Mutlte of ttin ill inn What thu object efthn murder was is another great mystery. It cm! I net have been robbery, as wh'-n the body was found the overcoat was buttoned up tightly and ueuu of the ether clothing was dis turbed. Nothing is known te have bten taken and there was money iu thu ninth ing. The person who committed the deed most likely succeeded in tleiug nil 1 li.it he desired, which was te kill the man and cfccnpe. Up te thu pteseut wining tlieie have been no arnsts made, iiltheu;li the family and friends of the deceased smpuct parties with whom Short had difficulties during Ins hfctimu.

There are all kinds of repe u in the uolghbuiheod nnd sumo of them are iiu r r reet. A story that has gained uueiilainui is te tlie ellect that upon ene night semu tinie age Mr. Short, who had benu in this city, roturned te his home gieatly fright uued ; he is said te have told his wifu then that a man had followed him with au axu nnd threatened te kill him, Thu friends knew nothing of tlm. steiy ; and, at tlie tlme of tlie rejier er's visit, Mis Short was almost eray with gnef and could net be been.

Hliurt's It lioresbiiiits, It scorns very slgular if this uriuie was committed at tlie hour it is supposed te have occurred, that no 0110 discovered the body until the next day. The read is net traveled a great deal ami it is likely that 110 oue passed the spot en this night after the occurrence. The deceased was iu this city 011 that day nud ntteuded ti consider able busiucss with lawyers uml at thu banks. He left the Limb helul at about half past Uve o'clock in the evening.
