The Flu Jehn Peller case Is nn lllua lllua tratlen of the length of tlnifl and amount or trouble necessary In iiellbemthe bodies te wcure nn end that Is euro te eeme some time, nnd which a fnlr amount of Reed eciiseand geed feeling should have brought te pass long bofero it mi finally reached. After the examl examl Batien of Perttr'u case, made by the Schefleld army beard, nnd the approval of Its finding given by General Grant and ether high authorities, the duty of Congress te restore General Perter te the position from which he was taken by the sentence of the original court mar tial was very plain. It was a duty which Congress should have been glad te perferin. It should have been eagerly ready te correct the Injustice dene. That It did net hasten te de se was be cause General Perter was a Democrat, and because General Peps, who is re proved In the exoneration of Perter, Is a Republican. The question was ene Inte which party politics should net have entered, but it did se ; and with the usual result of blinding men's Judgment, Inflaming their passions and earning them te act like children, rather than llke wise men. It will be a great day when wisdom, and net prejudice, honest conviction, and net party dictation, are permittcd te govern the councils of our rulers ; but it Is a day that Is net seen te dawn. "Wlse executive, officers, wise legislators nnd wise Judges are reserved for the mlllenlum, no doubt; but we cannot lielp hoping for them at present, whlle ac knowledging their Impossibility. It seems be strange that men, who are wise in their private affairs, and who de net allow their feelings te conquer their Judgment as te what it is best for them te de te make their affairs prosperous, no sooner get together in a body te de termlne what Is best for the public, than they seem willing te let passion conquer sense en every occasion. There is no reason why a Democrat or Repub lican should net foolishly as a legislator, when he U nble te act wisely as a man. Party exigencies should put no such necessity upon any one. A man of sturdy Independence and vigorous mind would net submit te such dictation ; but the misfertune Is that se many of our public men are without such sturdl ness and vigor of mind as are needed te keep them Btraight in their path against the Jostling of the crowd. They hn e te be easy, plastic and India rubl er tellews te be elected. It is very evident that the state trers. ury is net suffering from depletion, not withstanding it has been found possible te inveat nearly a million dollars of the sinking fund in Interest bearing govern ment bends under the Ilumes bill, one of the policies of a Democratic admin istratien. The favored' banks which enjoy this deposits of the general fund have en hand a million and a quarter, in spite of the law which declares Hi when the balance, reaches P"' . I'!m the surplus above that .mount ;',inU applied te the V ' -.. It ! dembnrrivv'H . t liir -r i ,u.i ei the 'Va , rn.. . hiv, and tn.it the i:i -.. cited ' . Uie Democrats winter, tf . '.- the license fees te tle county treasuries, ought te have I paxJ, and thus lightened the counties' tax. Had that measure become a law the county tax here, for instance, need neverexceed two mills. As it is theie are nearly $;i0 000 of license nwnejs lifted here annually, only te be taken te Hurrisbunr te swell an Idle treasury surplus, benefiting nebjily but the favored banks, which get it witeut pay ing Interest for the use of It. m IK many counties of the faUte the Democrats held two county conventions this j ear, one te select delegates te tint Btate convention and the etlu r te name a county tieket. The utniBu.illy early date of the state convention" renders necessary the election of delegates with in two months from tlds time, and it is generally reeegnizd thnttliisis tee early te name local tickets te be voted for next November. In this county, in our Judg meut. It would be well for the county committee te ,flx cenven tlens ut Bome time, say, in March, te elect the delegates te the state convention nnd leave the selection of a county ticket until late in the summer or the early fall, when, In the prevailing political interest of a presidential year, it will be easy te convene a county con vention te consider the Important mat ter of selecting lit candidates for nudlter and coMHiissler.or, and possibly ether vital questions growing out of the Ito Ite publican complications likely te ensue from the many contests In their ranks for places this year. Tiik Pidludelphia Ltdyer, a staid nnd conservative newspaper, agrees with this Journal that the acquittal of the miir derer, Hewell, at Uatiivla, New Yerk, iseven less defensible tliau the acquittal of young Kuttfer the murder of Dukes; nnd that the self defense given us the apology In the one case Is ui absurd as the einollenul lusanlty theory In the ether. The fact, however, that te Justl fy nn unlawful killing two Juries in such quick succession have been drlven te different reasons for their Illogical ver dict gives basis for a hope that presently nil the excuses will be were se thin that Jurymen will have te take the respensl blllty for what they de and declare that laws are made te be broken. Tina is the evening appointed for the Democratic primaries. The polls In nil the wards remain open until 8 o'clock, The chnracter et the pollce force, ami theentlre executive department of tlie city, the legislation of councils amtftlie direction of the school beard for ueveral years te come may depend upon the nominations made today. The duty devolving upon Democratic citizens who have the 'welfare of all these Interests atlieart Is scarcely secondary te that of general eloctten day, These who nogleat te vote may have serious cause te t egret It, but they will have aouedy te Justly blatne save themselvtB. Tub county auditors luive at length made their report, and they surcharge the commissioners with a geed round sum. If tlm county shall recover Jndg ment the expenses of the audlteis' long term will be mere than repaid and the county tax may yet be cut down te two mills.
