Friday, the 17th, ihould attended by every voter. Let the 'best min— taking Alt things into consideration—be se lected; those.who are willing and competent to _ perform the required duties promptly and faithfully. There is a too prevalentidea that'townithip offices-are of so little import ance, 'and so unremunerative„ that any one will do to fill them. The pradtical result .of -this idea is injurious to communities, to considerable extent, as the experience of many . townships has shown. A great many costry law-suits might be avoided by keeping bad men out of small positions. As 'a general rule, a bad citizen makes - sited official; and those who are often quirreling, and going to law . with their neighbors, should never be elected to office, lest they s involve a .whole township in unnecessary imbroglios and expensive liti gations about nothing. - The covert — advice of the Republican to make town offices a mere test - of: party . strength, is very good for those whose:minds are too narrow and bigoted . for more -liberal ideas. It is however, a fair characteristic of the motives that have.influenced the lead ers of the opposition parties for the plat five lens. Shame =such bigotry; it is unworthy a Christian community. • Coyszrr FINANCSB.—The annual county statement may be found in out columns io day, and from it the tax-payeri may lealm what becomes of their money. An extra cer tificate fiom the Auditors will be obseried..— As to the correctness of the accounts, we have all to .look to the books and voucher. for evidence ; but for the neat and .well ranged-style of the manuscript istateruent, a Printers' compliment -is justly due to Mr. Crossmon, the Clerk. Neat, carefully pre pared "copy" is one of the few choice favors that fall to the "craft ;" and we-, trust , that while we have anythink to do with the type= settingor proof-reading of County Statements, the Commissioners will retain a Clerk of Mr. Cro,ssmon's excellent qualifications. FIRE,-The barn of N. C.

We bare the pleasure of annonnein, to day, that Congress has finally organized; the House baring elected a Speaker. on'Weilnes day last. MrPenningtonis a "Republican" of moderate views, and very moderate abili ties—one of the least capable men in •the House,. HeWas chosen by the coMbination of Helperites, Anti-Lecjimptonitis and " pro slavery" Encivr Nothings,—Hebry Winter . Davis,. of Maryland, who was elected by the aid of open violence and murder, giving the one majority required. Although an Oppo sition triumph, the result is a - great moral victory for the National DemoBrticy.,, :At the opening of the7session, when the ,Helperki nominated Sherman, and Clark, of Mo., -6f tired a resolution declaring any man twho endorsed the cut throat doctrines of the "Im pending crisis," unfit to be Speaker, the is sue arose that bas just been settled, which was, not whettler an opponent of the adminis- 'tuition hhould ,be elected—f9r that . was a • most a foregone conclusion—but whether one of the 68 who bad signed the infamous ciri color, advocating as rank treason to:title country as could welt be expressed in words,' should be elected to fill the third officisin the Union. The Democrats firmly adhered to, • the pressing of this - resolotion--meantittie taking all opportunities to vote for a Speaker. The Helperites, stubbornly refused to either repudiate Helperism, or came a conservative candidate, but unjustly insisted that our party should allow them to adopt the plurality . rule, a measure equivalent to voting direct . to Sherman. They finally declared ." Sher man or nobody,* the . Tribaße making official record of their determination. But the Smith • demonstration indicated that. conieiiatism would ere long triumph: Dismayed at the idea of losing the,spoili; fear. forced Helper ism to to do !that no argument could ever have done--abandon their wicked test; rind • they cowardly fled from Sherman like rats from a sinking ship,. and took up Pennington, whom, from his sad -wiint of ability fully represents the "Nobody 7 for whom they bat recently declared. .Had Pennington, or a i ny'conserVative man been selected by. them at first, be would have been elected without much controversy, as _ several anti-Helper members' long ago deelar ed• their readiness to so organize. .But ab-, .olitionism was dominant with the foe; they did 'not want to organize; they 'wanted to keep the country in suspense -4o cause the • mail carriers to suffer for the feu! millions , Of dollars due theM, and then charge Buchan-. an's administration with the want of foods; "hoping to make votes out of this false capital. Dot the public are not to be decived—" Re publicanism" will be held fully responsible for thii long delay, and will lose 'Gormands of votes by their base adherence to rank Wood thirsty treason. - Dim PARK, PA, Feb. 3.—Thi residence of Daniel Early, Sr.,- situated about --thine miles below Hyde Park was destroyed by . fire last night.
