At a special convention of the Re- j ot Mercer County, held in j Mercer last Thursday week, the new for the nominating of a candi date for Congress in tLis district was approved. Tbis action has now com pleted tbe movement, tbe whole four Cosnties of the district, Butler, Bea rer, Lawrence and Mercer, having now ratified tbe new mode. While it la«u candidates for Congress will be nfnTl , ff at a district Convention of the foor Counties, to beheld this jeer at Sew Castle, Lawrence Co Tbis Convention will be composed of aixty delegates, fifteen from each county. These delegates are to be eUcUdtnm fifteen sub districts of each County; Beaver. Lawrence and Better have already apportioned their couattea off into these sob districts, and Mercer is providing for tbe same Tbe sob districts of our county, as formed by the County Committee, have been published. In each ot these, two delegates are to be elected one to go to and act in a distrist Con vention for tbe nominating of a candi date for Congress, and one to go to •ad act in a district Convention for tbe selection of two delegates and two alternates to tbe coming Nation al Convention, to nominate the next Republican candidates for President and Vice President. The National delegates have, under the National rates of tbe party, to be selected in the same manner that Congressmen are nominated in tbis district. The voters at tbe primary will vote for these, tbeir sub delegates, and sot direct for the candidates for Con gress and National delegates. But the voters at the primary have the right to tnsfrucf tbeir sub delegates as to tbeir choice on Confess and on National delegate. Tbis instruct ion they will no doubt giro them Tbe mode is new and a little compli cated, particularly for this first year of its trial Where there are only two townships forming a sub district it will not be so difficult to have some anderstaoding between them as to the delegates to be elected in same. But where there are more than two town ships, or more than two election dis tricts in a sub district, some concert of ection between and among them would be advisable. But where this action is not taken we presume tbe voters at the primary will, at each of tbeir polls, elect their own two dele gates, one for each matter, and when tbe County Convention meets the vutes ia each and every one will be counted op, and the two delegates having tbe highest vote in all will be declared tbe ones elected and instruct ed by the voters in same. SENATOR QUAY has been compell ed, on account of his health, to go to Florida, where he may remain for a month or aix weeks. Florida is the point sought now to escape from the chills of the North. It is the land of oranges and flowers and it is to be hoped its delightful climate may be beneficial to the Senator. Anti-License Meeting. The meeting of the citizens of this place ia the Opera House, on Tues day evening last, was more largely attended than was even expected. Hon Robert Storey presided and Re*. McKee served as Secretary. Hon. Bamoel B. Miller of M-rcer ad dressed the meeting in one of the moat practical and convincing argu ments against the license Bystem yet listened to by onr citizen". He illns traied the evil# flowimr from license to the citizens of any place both as to the morals of the place an well as in a financial view, that carried convict ion to all. Mr. Miller referred to the improvement made in bid own town of Mercer wnce licenses were refused there, and said among other things that no respectable attorney of that conuty could now be got to present license applications to their Conrt. A vote of thanks was given him by the meeting for bis able tpeecb. Rev. Nesbit read the resolutions of the meeting, which will be found in another plaee. The audience then responded liberally to a request made by Rev. Oiler for funds necessary to make a proper opposition to licenses in this county. Committees were appointed to look after the interests of the citizens in the matter and the meeting then adjourned. The Penally for Disturbing Pub lic Meetings.

NEW YORK., Feb. 25.—Mr. Blaine, in the course of a long conversation, distinctly asserted that under no cir cumstances whatever would he allow . bis name to be used in connection with the next Presidential nomina tion. He insists on the sincerity of his withdrawal and asserts that he bad made up bis mind thereto long ago. He considers, first, that any man whose name has been associa ted with a defeat in a presidential campaign owes it to his party not to allow himself to be renominated; sec ondly he is unequal to facing the fatigues, worry and excitement of an other canvass, all the more as he would feel bimpelf bound to work as hard as on previous occasions. Mrs Blaine and the o'her members of his family are most emphatic in approval of his withdrawal, which is definite, and neither hasty nor recent in its decision, Mr. Blaine will not return from Europe until June and not until after the Republican Convention. He declines to express himself on the subject of the Republican candi dates now in the field, but asserts that he did not retire in favor of any particular one of them. He is con vinced of a Republican victory, bas ing bis conviction in particular on the tariff question. HI WILL NOT BE A CANDIDATE. When Mr. Blaine was asked tba direct question whether he would, under any circumstances, permit his nama to be used again as a candidate he replied in the most emphatic nega tive, but then added: "I do not wish to make any new affirmations upon the subject. I have said all that I wish to say upon this subject in that letter- That letter, as you must know was not a bap-hazard, off-hand affair. It was the result ot much de liberation and careful thought. You will remember that I told you in Paris last December that I had no in tention of being a candidate again, and that I haa practically made up my mind at that time to forbid the use of my name in the approaching Convention." More than this, there is another plain reason for my withdrawing. 1 could not go through the burden and fatigue of another presidential can vass—such a one as tbe canvass of the last campaign. To accept a nom ination and to do less than before would be impossible." MR. BLAINE'S BELIEF. The correspondent thus concludes: "Towards tbe close of my last call I asked Mr. Blaine when he expected to retarn to America. He said that he expected to reach New York about tbe last of June. He expects to spend the late Spring in London. He has not determined upon his move ments. After leaving Florence he will probably go straight to England from Italy. He said, with an air of frankness not to be mistaken: "Yon have no idea what a relief it is to me to tbink that I am now out of the canvass, and that when I come beck to New York in tho Summer that I shall not be going back there to face reception after reception and to enter into the turmoil and excite ment of a political canvass. ( can now come back quietly,after the Con vention baa once decided the result, and enjoy my own life in ray own way, free, I hope, from farthor crili* cism or comment." The Farmer And Free Trade. Tbe free trader delights in assuring tbe farmer that no agricultural pro ducts receive the benefits of protec tion by tbe tariff. The claim is on a par with tbe other fallacious claims and theories of tbe free traders. The tariff list very promptly stamps this statement as a falsehood and the thoughtful farmers well know this The following may be taken as sam ples of the doty on various articles of agricultural products- Wool at 30 cents a pound or less, 10 cents; at over 30 cents a pound, 12 cents Beef and pork, I cent a pound. Hams and bacon,2 cent a pound. Batter, 4 cents a pound, Lard, 2 cents a pound. Cheese, 4 cents a pound. Grape*), 2h per cent, ad valorem. Wbeat, 20 cents a bushel. Oats, 10 cents a bushel. Corn, 10 cents a bushel. Rye, 15 cents a bushel. Barley, 15 cents a bushel. Potatoes, 15 cents a bushel. Hay, $2 a ton, Live animals, 20 per cent, ad val orem. Beeswax, 20 per cent, ad valorem. Vinegar, 10 cents a gallon. Honey, 20 cents a pound. Fruit, shade and ornamental trees, shrubs, etc., 20 per cent, ad valorem. All vegetables not otherwise pro vided for, 10 per cent ad valorem. To tbe above might lie added other protected farm products,such as hewn timbers, sugar, tobacco, rice and fruits. In some cases the rate of duty may be somewhat too low, but the princi ple of protection is applied ia spite of the free traders' declarations. Mercantile License. County Treasurer Eagleson of Mer cer county has received the following instructions from tbe Auditor Gen eral of tbe State: Retailers should remember that mercantile licenses are not transfer able from one dealer to another. a:>d parties going into business after th<3 Ist of M«y, and who have not been rated by the mercantile appraiser, are required by law to pay a license at the rate of twenty dollars for the whole year, aud any such persons who do not beforo or within one month after commencing business, take ont such license, shall pay tbe full year of twenty dollars. 4,000 Chinamen Drowned. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 25.—Further details of tbe second disaster on the Yellow river, wbieh occurred Dec 4, and resulted in the drowning of three mandarins and 4,000 Chinese labor ers, are given in the Cbiua papers The men were at work repairing th« damage caused by the previous floods, and 2.000 bamboo rafts bad been laden with stones in order to form a breakwater, but tbe rafts and all the people on board inem were engulfed as soon as they reached tbe middle of the river. Great suffering is reported from tbe flooded districts. Cold weather came on and tbe couutrv was Boon frozen over, making it im possible for boats to run.

In concluding, the Attorney Gen- ; j eral says: "I would surest, however I 1 that tbe city or county treasurer be , ' required by the Auditor General to I ' make a report to the department of i ! the entire amount of license fees col lected, with a statement ot the pro -1 portion thereof appropriated to the | several municipalities entitled to i share therein.
