PENDLETON COUNTY.
Van Buren, maj,

~ The Richmond Wing has just found
out that the Governor was all wrong in the
appointment ofCommissioncrs to supcrintcnd
the Presidential Election. We in common
with others have charged the Governor with
acting unfairly and improperly, but until now
it was most stoutly denied by the whole
Federal Party. 1t is gratifying to find that
they have discovered it even at this late day.
'Better late than never."-VALLEY STAR.
[This is LOGIC for you, with vengeance
If Jealous partizans on both sides arc seen
to find fault with the Governor, we take it to
be very good evidence that he has acted fairly
and impar,ially in the premises.

is gratifying to believe that those who have
thus violated our rights are likely to be de-
pIived of the power to infiict further wounds
on the Union; but, should like encroach-
ment be attempted under any administration
OF this Government, it will become the duty
of the Legislature to convene an assembly OF
the people TO consider measures of security
and protection"

to local State interests. The Governor re-
commends abolition ofimprisonment for debt,

AT very full meeting Of the students of
the University ofVirgina, held on the 18th of
November, 1910, the following Preamble and
Resolutions were submitted by Mr.. F. r.
Rives, and unanimously adopted
As our able and distinguished Professor of
Law has been severely wounded by an indi-
vidual who deliberately shot him last night,
without the slightest provocatiun on the part
OF MIR. Davis, it behoves us as students Of
the University of Virginia. to express, in the
strongest terms, our indignation at such con-
duct-conduct equally shocking to every SEN
lment OF honor, every obligation of morality,
and every principle OF humanity.
We had hoped that crime had never found
resting place within these calm retreats,
"whose threshold the distracting cares of the
world, or its beguiling pleasures, never cross"
1T was but sweet selfdeluson.
Let us not suffer the vivid recollections of
our University apprenticeship, that are re-
served Tor us In future, nor the present glow
ing sympathy in each others elevating pur-
suits to be dimmed by this dark deed of a sin
gle person, with whom we consider it a sad
misfortune to own community Of nature,
but boldly cast of every imputation that may
be made against our honor as body-ior
such we would regard any and every remark
'hiPiOhS oui JuStiHCdtiOn OF the aDOmlnaDiC,
act-by the adoption of the following resolu1
tons
Resolved, That sincerely regret the un-
fortunate accident that has befallen our Pro-
lessor OF Law, Mr.. Davis, and earnestly hope
that speedy recovery will enable him to re-
sumo the duties of his Chair.
RESOLVED, That we will use every POSSIBLE
eNertton to find out the perpetrator of the act.
that he may receive his merited punishment
the odlnm and contempt Of the students-ex-
Pulslon by the Faculty, and Il just condem-
nation by the competent tribunals Of the
country.
Resolved, That we view the author of Tie
outrageous crime only in the light of base
assassin, II such words are adequate to express
the force of our opinions.
Resolved, That these resolutions be pub
llshed III the Collegian, the Charlottesville,
Richmond and Staunton papers.

few days since, in Middle Florida, three
white men were taken on Suspicion of aid
ing the Indians in their depredations on the
lives and property of our citizens. 1t seems
company Of men were on a scout in search
Of Indians, accompanied by several Of the
bloodhounds, and were led by several trails
TO- the house Of these men, which at length
induced the commanding officer to have them
arrested, and on examination found they had
scarcely freed themselves from Che paint with
which they had been painted to prevent de-
lection. They also found, on still closer ox-
animation, other proofs Of their connection
with the Indians.

Thus has Gen. HARRISON already an
excess of 90 Electoral Votes, over the num-
Der necessary to elect HIM. In addition TO
these, he is certain TO receive the 10 votes

There is some probability, however, that IL

az Gen. Harrison was burnt in efliey. at
St. Augustine, (Florida,) on the 18th ultimo.
The reason is not stated; but we suppose it
was done by the Army contractors, who be-

his Inauguration. 1t will be an evil day for
those who have been growing rich on the
sPotis of plundered country.

1FThc Great Wing Triumph was cs-
lebrated in Staunton on Monday evening
last, by grand procession, and brilli-
ant illumination of the town. The Whole
affair was got up in fine style, and passed
off very pleasantly.
We are truly rejoiced that we are now
done with the excitement, and that we may
take the repose, which, however needed, we
could never have fully enjoyed, but in the
glorious consummation which has attend
ed our struggle. To those who have differ
ed with us, we tender the right hand Of fell
lowship ; and as there has been nothing self
ish in our aims-as we have had nothing
in view but the best interests of our country
we cordially tender to them free par
ticipation in all the fruits of the victory
The election of Gen. Harrison, we conf
IDENTIFY believe, will result in the restoration
of the Government to its primitive purity
and Republican simplicity; and we doubt not
that thousands who opposed his election, be-
fore twelve months are past, will not only be
satisfied of the great necessity that existed
for change-but exult, with us, in the Sc
lection that has been made.

The National lntelligencer is mistaken in
ssuPPosing that the Wing vote in this State
has fallen below what was expected. 1t has
rather gone beyond the estimate. 1t is the
Van Buren, vote, which has increased beyond
the expectations of any of that party. The
Wing vote will be upwards of 35 900, which
is nearly 5000 more than the Van Buren
Ticket received in 1896, and constitutes a
majority Of the qualified voters in the State.-
