Ohio and Pennsylvania, 10 operate upon Virginia

Another shameful act had been committed in
Marshall county. a man by the name OF L. H.
Caldwell, had thrust himself in us one of the
Commissioners Of Election, although the Govern
or's Commission had run in the name Of J. I.
Caldwell-and upon being informed OF il, the
Governor had declined 10 make the change
Still this rabid Wing had insisted on being sworn
in, the Democratic Commissioner protesting in
vain against it. One OF The Magistrates, (and a
Wing too) had refused 10 swear him in--yet,
live days alter, viz on Tie 18th, some other Ma
gistrate had been found sufficiently obSequous TO
administer The oath Thus, he Two Wings were
determined 10 give 4 majority OF Wing Commits
sioners 10 all the precincts, upon Republican
Marshall OF what outrage will they next bc
gully? The Governors letter demonstrating
against this proceeding, cannot, probably, reach
Marshall III time.
