Directors in the county*ttended the Convention in the Court [louse, on Tuesday, for the election of a County tiuperinterient, in place .'of L. T. Fisk, Whose term expires. Of course, in a lay where the Republicans are so largely te ascendancy as here, a considerable majority of the Convention woald be mem bers of that organization, and we:regret that candor compels us to state that partisan' prej udice was the controlling motivo among the greater number. The candidates were 'Messrs C. C. Taylor, of Elk Creek ; S. P. Mclntyre, or Curry; L. W. S trage, of Springfield; L T. Fisk, of Girard ; and P. IL Stewart, of 'North East. Of these gentlemen, Mr. Sw age is acknowledged to be the best fitted for the position, but he has seen proper to • et with the Democratic party for some years, and amore the majority of the Convention that was sufficient reason for defeat. The miserable party spirit which has foisted sp many third-rate men into position, and dune 'lmre to retard the in teresta of our section than :al other causes, has thus fastened itself upon our commond school ss stein, and driven from its service a gentleinan who of all oth- iI,IIS. 311.20 erS was most competent to assume its super vision. When= the day comes, if it ever will, that our people can forget their political wrangles, and choose officers on the,grotind of merit, we may hope to see a reffirm in our public administration, and not before. The first business of-the Conventiiin was to fix upon the Superintendent's salary. Mr. Nesbitt, the leading Republican of Washing inn township, considered $OOO per year as fair pay, atid'the present salary of $l,OOO its exhorbilant ! Mr. Wells, of Albion, a inure intelligent, hut less intluenti d R Triadic: in, was in - favor of $1.2)0.!, - The e Irj tine , mule a compromise between the two by re raining the old salary of $l,OOO. On the hirl ballot, Mr. Taylor received a majority all the votes, and his election-was then n tile unanimous. A resolutioa was adopted expressing the Mier' that Ow valise wool I he benefited by changidg the commencement of the .01(ml year from the first or June to the fog of May. i• Mr. Taylor, the new Superintendent, is a foting tuna, and is sai‘lio possess consider able ability.'

For instance. while, the fountains are playing in the a:ntre, where is the harmony,of allowing the 'sides of the parks and the fence' corners to :he heaped full of market tables and madeAtte receptacle of all ashes and filth tit thi: surrounding properties ?' , What is the, object of-keeping a pile of stone, like a Chin .

Now, that an attempt is made at orua meat, let us have 'all things in proportion. With a little care, either Park might be made - a spot of unexcelled beauty., and it is sincere ly to be hoped that we have sufficient exec utive talent and local pride to keep them as they -should be. FfRE INSERANCE.—Why is it that our citi zens ao not inquire into the reasod fur ketfp'- ing op 'fire insurance rates the same as, they . were before the introduction of water? When the water works were under discussion, we were told that their completion would re-' duce the insurance rates to an extent' that would more than compensate for the addi tional taxation: Why is it that this promlio hies not been fulfilled? It cannot be disputed that the risk from fire has been greatly dimin ished, and if such, is the !act, our: Citizens should have the benefit of it. We insist that . rie shell not be made to pay raics-t least a third higher for.insumnce than• other cities with no better-taellities for extinguishing tires thast we pumas. , . '• • New Daily Paper. Amid the crash of newspaper matter and the ruin of dailie . s, gossip, with her thoniand tongues, gives currency to all kinds of re ports. One silly project follows another, like sheep plunging down a precipice. The large fortunes made by 11304 , . who have tried their handy-at-,the daily newspa : per business in Erie, make hosts of others anxious to get rich in the s►me way. Meanwhile, the Observer travels steadily on its course, preferring to be thought it little old fogyish, rather than go beyond the limits which the patronage of the city warrants, and still adhering to the good old principle that it is better to pay a hundred cents on the dollar from one's honest earnings, than se cure reputation for enterprfse at the expense of other pdople's pocket books. Stories are rife'that we propose starting a new daily paper, but "if the Court knows herself," we won't make a fool of ourself in that maruier just at present. , ' The present crisis, however, ends the Ob server "frill high advancedr with a stock of material equal to all the necessities of the public, prepared to do every kind of print ing in the most satisfactory manner, and ready to serve all who mt.y choose to call.

The editor, C. L. Phelps, Est" , says he has been compelled to this eoure by the neligence of his , patrons in pt 3 lug up their indebtedness. He has plenty or accouo •nart his honks, but being unable to collet , without means to continue the bu-ines:;. Mr. Phelps has made a good p tper of the Spectator, and we regret very much the misfortunes that have overtaken him. He has accepted a po sitiOrz in connection with Col. fticels circus, and will accompany it during the present season. A. new paper started in Pleasantville, sev eral Meeks ago, has already suspended for want of the means of support. TIM putdi-h -er started nut with any amount_ of encouratg ing.asaurances, but, like too many others in the printing business, found that those who were loudest in their assurances of,tuccess, were the most backward in furnishing the revired patronage. The present period is one of the hardest newspaper men have seen in many ears, Fe - W are paving expenses, and ,the weaker ones will have to go the wall. It behooves all who have an interest in kc'eping up their favorite papt , rs to, be prompt in Paying their accounts, and energetic in increasing their patronage. The . Nevr RegistrY Lew The last Le:,-islatuie, among its o; her in iquitous measures, passed a new Registry Law, intended to meet the objections which compelled the - Supreme Court to pronounco the last ono• unconstitutional. It con airs nearly all the odious features of the last one, and, like it, is deSigned to restrict the suf frages of the working men. The Supreme Court will undonbtedly(lecide against its le gality, as it is in clear conflict with . Art. 3d, Sec. 1, of the State Constitution,. which Says: "In elections by the citizens, °Very white freeman of the age of` twenty-one years, hav ing resided in the State one year, and hi the election district wherele offers to vote, ten days immediately .preceding such election, and.within two ears paid a State or county tits:, which shall have been assessed at least ten days before election, shall enjoy the right of an elector," - _Vny law which does not accord with this clause, cannot he kelt enlbreed. The rez istry law places restrictions upon voters not required hy;the Constitution, and in every such respect is 4 no more force than if it had been enacted by a mob in the Feejee Islands_ Reath of iton.

The great rem-on why physicians do not cure consumption is, they try too much: they give medicine to stop thecough, to stop night sweals to stop chills, hectic fever, and by so doing they derange the whole digestive powers, °eking up the se crettous, and eventually the patient sinks and tiles.
