Samuel J- Randall.
Samuel J. Rannull, the democratic
nominee for speakei of the house, is
a member from the third district of
Pennsylvania, and has been in con-
gress twelve years. He has ever
been known as bold, aggressive and
an excellent parliamentarian. He
was a candidate for speaker for the
01 ty-fourth congress, and was defeat-
ed by Mr. Kerr, succeeding him in
the last house after the latter’s death.
Mr. Randall has never clearly defin-
ed Ins position on the currency ques
tion, but he is from a section bitterly
opposed lo the suicidal contraction
policy. He received 109 ot the 143
votes cast in the caucus.
Short Weights and Measures.
We presume Denison merchants
are as honest as those of other cities,
but an inspector ot weights and
measures would do no harm and
might prevent some weak mortal
from being led into temptation. We
think it was a great oversight that
the last legislature did not pass an
act providing for the otlice ot inspec
tor of weights and measures, but it
is an ommissiou which our larger
cities have remedied by ordinance.
Few persons are aware to what extent
deception in weights and measures
is carried on in some localities. The
city sealers ot Boston have recently
made a report, and their experience
is enough to shake one’s lakh in hu-
man honesty. They have summar-
ized their work between June 6th
and July tst, and found that of 592
scales (each with on an average, six
weights) about 90 per cent, erred on
the light side, and 30 per cent, ol
1,000 wet and dry measures were too
small. The wildest variations from
honesty were found in the measures
of fruit dealers and milkmen, to say
nothing of the fact that most of the
former sold by wine measure, cheat
ing the customers cut of about a gill
at each measuring. In two cases ol
high class butter dealers, spring bal-
ances live ounces short on the pound
were discovered ; in another case, a
‘•pound weight” was tound that
weighed eleven and a half ounces,
t en of the sixteen weights submitted
by a Charlestown deacon were short
from one to four ounces. They
deemed it worthy of special remark
that not a single instance was dis-
covered where the measures were
too large or the scales gave over
weight.
The Denison News and the Hemp-
stead Messenger want to abolish
juries altogether. lit view of the
lact that the average Texas juror
lias conscientious scruples against
hanging lor anything but horse
stealing, we think likely the aboli-
tion of the entire jury system would
be expedient if it were practicable.

Grand Juries,
Nearly every paper in this State
favors a war with Mexico.—Kauf-
man S.ar.
Please except the Denison News.
First, we are opposed to war so long
as there is a possibility of adjusting
grievances by arbitration ; secondly,
we have resided 011 the Mexican
frontier long enough to learn that
the American element is as often to
blame for the illfeeling engendered
between the two governments as the
Mexicans.
