Tbe death of Judge Waite, Chief Jnatice of tbe Bupreme Court of the United States, has called out the fact that only seven persons hare occu pied that position since the organiza tion of tbe Government. The follow ing are t»eir names and dates and by what President appointed: John Jay, by Washington. John Rutledge, 1795, by Washing too. Oliver Ellsworth, 1796, by Wash ington. John Marshall, 1801, by Adams (tbe first.) Roger B. Taney, 1836. by Jackson. Salmon P. Chase, 1864, by Lin coln Morrison R. Wsite, 1874, by Grant. John Marshall occupied the place for 85 years, and Tauey for about 30 years. Wsite. now deceased, comes aext in length of service, being about 14 years. The New Castle Delegates. By tbe proceedings in some of the sob -districts of this county it will he seen that action is being tak»n to set tle upon the sub and sub National Delegates to the New Castle district conventions. This is tbe proper course and wLere due no tice is given and the matter properly undu stood there will of course be general acquiescence in the pekctions named. It is a right that belongs ex clusively to tbe Republican voters of %ach sab-district, and should not be in terfered with by candidates for Con gress or national delegates themselves by appearing on the ground at the meetings and setting up sub-delegates or otherwise endeavoring to influence the action of the voters of tbe district This is looked upon as very improper conduct in any candidate and as pro ducing bad results that t-hould be •voided. Blowing Up Oil Well Rigs. BRADFORD, PA , March 21.—Last i! o'clock three sharp ex- I»!O*!O :< were heard in the city, but not until today was tbe fcau-w discov ered. .

Tbe drilling outfit was torn into a million fragments and scattered over several acres, wbile trees in the aeiphborbood looked as if torn by •hot and shell. Mr. Leesare refused to join tbe ehotdowu movement, although re {*>•'.< dly urged to do so Members of tbe Producers Protective Association deny any connection with the affair, it is ib'iught to have been tbs. work of individual*! indignant at tbo effort jto fatten cIT the prosperity of others. The Republican Primary.— ! What are to be Nominated, And What Eiected. The Republican Primary election tor this county comes off on April 14 two weeks from Saturday next j This H at an earlier date thau usual, which was rendered necessary by the ' dales fixed for h the Statu and j National Conventions, to which dete- i gates have to be elected. So tar there has been less excitement than usually . preceeds a primary election. But the offices to fill this fall are among the j most important to the people. They . are principally of a legislative char- | acter. It is "therefore of importance: that pood nominations be made for these positions. The voters of tbe ! party should take an interest in tbe nominations by turning out to the primary election. CONGRESS. Eirst on the list, and ticket, and most importaut, is that of Congress • Four counties compose our new Con- i gressionai District, to wit: Bearer, | Liwreiice, Mercer aud Butltr. Each • one of these will present one caudi- | date at least to the District Convc-a ' tion, which will uu*et. this year in Ne\v Castle, Lawrence Co. A new mode has been agreed upon for nom inating the caudidate for the district. Each county can present a candidate, or any number of them for Congress, as usual, but at the same time each connty is required this year to elect and send fifteen sub-delegates to the District Convention at New Castle j These fifteen sub-delegates have to be : elected in fifteen sub districts, into which each of the four counties has | been divided. This is not only a new j plßn, but a rather complicated one. 1 However, we are pleased to see tbat i tbe Republicans of ibis county are in-, quiring into tbe change, and making i arrangements in each sub-district for i the selection of the tub-delegates form : each of the same These sub dele-, gates have to carry out in the dis trict convention the wishes of the majority of the voters, as expressed j in the sub districts. Thus one sub district may be tor or.o candidate and one for another, and tbe sub delegates must vote accordingly. NATIONAL DELEGATE The next place to fill, as ou the tickets printed, is that ol National Delegate, or Delegate to the coming National Convention to be heid in j j Chicago, June 19. This is not an ! office, but a trust, made BO by our I party throub party regulations. The | reason for its present position on the j ticket, immediately after that of Con- ' gress, is because National Delegates have to be chosen in the same way j that candidates for Congress are nom- ; iaateti. Hence in this county and district they have to be chosen by the new mode made for nominating for I Congress. That is, each of the fifteen sub-districts of this county have also the electing of a sub-delegate from ; tbe same to meet similar delegates from other counties in a District Con vention, also this year to be held at New Castle. This District Conven tion, like the Congressional one. will thus be composed of sixty delegates in all. This body will have the se lecting of two delegates to tbe Na tional Convention, being the namlier each Congressional district is entitled to have as representation in the same So that after a candidate for N at ion a I Delegate is presented from a county he has to go through aud be subject to the action of the District Conven tion at New Castle, which body will j finally uamo the two from the lour counties to represent the district There are also two alternates for said two to be then arrd there chosen Each of these District Conventions will be separate from eflch other, hav ing different duties to perform, the one Congressional, or for nominating for Congress, and the other for the selection of tbe National Delegates. They will not likely meet at the same time, and to prevent any conflict in their actions it would be best for each sub-district to elect one for each duty at the coming primary election Th s is the mode we believe that, is being pursued in tte other counties of the district. bTATE DELEGATES. These are to be elected by the body of the County at large, as usual There are two of them, and their du ties are to attend the Slate Conven tion, to be be!d in Ilarrisburg on April 25, for the purpose of nomina ting a candidate for Judge of the Su preme Court of the State, and such other duties as may properly come before them iu the State Conveution. STATE SENATE This ofhce is also voted for at the primary as heretofore, by the liody of the county, and the candidate having the highest vote is the one nominated in the County. The Senate district is composed of Armstrong and Butler counties, the former county having the present Senator from the district aod our county claiming the uext can didate- An effort was made by this county to have the question of next candidate submitted to a popular vote of both of the Counties, but this was declined by Armstrong Couuty, and hence the u»ual meeting of conferrees will probably take place, to determine which county is to have the coming candidate. There are four candidates for the nomination in this ccuaty and two in Armstrong County. ASSEMBLY. This county has two members of the Ueneral Assembly to elect this fall. The Assembly and the Senate compote the Legislature, the one call ed the upper and the other the lower Hou?e. The. members of the lower House, or Assembly, arc generally spoken of as the "members of tb« Legislature." Hut their duties and powers as to law making are the same ns Senators. It requires both branches to enact a law. The pay oi Assemblymen is the same that of Senators. Four candidates it will be Seen are announced for the nomina tion in this county and the two high est in vote at the primary will be the ones nominated. JURY COMMISSION Kit. Two Jury Commissioners are to be elected this fall. Hut under the law no voter ran vote for moro than one Hence each party nominates but one The policy of the present law was to prevent any one party from having the entire control in the selection of jurymen. A number of candidates are ennouiiced for the Republican nomination at the primary, and the one having the highest vote will be the cundidate. , RETURN JUDGES. Last on, and at the foot of the tick et, is the Return Judge. One is to be elected iu each election diotrict of the Couuty, as usual. His duty is to take charge of and bring the vole iu of his township or borough to the Couuty Convention, that meets in Butler on the Monday alter the pri mary, April 16. Jt is au mportant trust always, and this year may bo mure importaut than heretofore, as the change made in nominating for Congress and National Delegates may require more care and labor than usual. Good mpn, the best that pan be got to come, should therefore be s*nt this year from each election dis met of the County. They should be elected at the primary like aii others then voted tor. With the above brief statement of the coming primary the Republican voters of tbe County will see the work and duties tboy have to per form at the same, on April 14. POLITICAL.
