Fugitive sIav cnse--Furitive Shot.

On the 29th of April an officer named
Ridgely, and another named Snyder. ar
rested fugitive slave a. Columbus. Pa.
named Smith, and whilst in their custody
he was shot, whether by accident or de-
sign is not known. There is great excite
ment there about it. Smith was supposed
to be slave, though living there some
years and has a family. There was
number of blacks present when 1t hap
pened.
The Baltimore News, has an article on
the affair, in which it became necessary
for officer Ridgely to draw pistol in self
defence. After remarking that the btu-
tai murder of Mr.. Kennedy at Carlisle and
the more recent murder of Mr.. Gorsueh,
are not forgotten by the community Of
Baltimore the News says: Both these
gentlemen were acting under the highest
authority known to us-the Constitution
of the United States-yet even this sacred
guaranty was not sufficient to protect
them from the fury of the mob. With
such examples before him. officer Ridgley
would have done great injustice to him
self if he had not armed himself for the
worst contingency. He acted under the
same authority as his murdered prede-
cessors. He was provided with proper
warrant from the proper officer, and had
q right to the assistance of the people of
Pennsylvania, in order to its successful
execution. Acting under the solemn
guarantees of the Constitution, he was vi
olently resisted in the discharge of his du-
ty, and at the moment the accident &C.
CURED was fast being overpowered by an
Infatuated crowd, who had before demon
strated their utter disregard Of the law in
their pretended love for the colored race.
Mr.. Ridgely fortunately escaped through
the tact and good management of officer
Snyder, one Of his assistants, who con-
cealed the fact that he had but one arm,
and represented himself as the person
they were in pursuit of, Mr.. R. having
previously Withdrawn. Mr.. Snyder was
taken to the Justices office, where the
question arose as to his identity and the
mistake was discovered only after it was
ascertained that he had but one arm. He
then told them he did not intend to be
taken, that he should return home, where
they could follow him if they chose. The
GOODNESS and bravery of this officer were
worthy of all praise.
Already the discordant shout of fanat-
icism is heard in the hue and cry against
our fellow citizen, and he will doubtless
be hunted down with all the relentless
fury of monomaniacs. Governor Bigler
has been applied to for requisition de-
handing his delivery for trial. Should
our authorities surrender him, his fate may
be easily geussed. There is but one senti-
ment here on the subject, SO far as we
have heard, which entirely justifes Mr..
Ridgley's conduct on this occasion.

To the Voters of Harrison County;


To the Voters of Harrison County;
FELLow- CITIZENS:
The new Constitution formed by the
Convention last year, has gone into ope-
ration, after having received the sanction
of an overwhelming majority of the peo-
pie of Virginia. BY its provisions all of
icers are made elective by the people
themselves, doing away with the old sys-
tenn of appointment, which had become
so unpopular,
l have long wished to see the day when
every man might stand on level with
his fellow man. That day, in the Old
Dominion, has at length dawned. Every
free white man of FL years of age, can
now so up to the polls and vote for the
makers and ministers of their laws, with
out being questioned by the Sheriff whe-
Their they own negro, horse, or clock;
intimating thereby that the possession of
wealth was the only requisite qualiica-
ton of voter.
In voting for the new Constitution, the
people have signifed desire for new
order of things in the machinery of the
government. This can BIZ accomplished
by placing new men in our offices. The
desire to see this general reformation in
the administration of the government, wa.
among the causes that induced me to an
nounce myself a candidate for the Office
of Sheriff. This l have done, through
the solicitation of many of my friends, en-
PERTAINING the belief that if elected, can
properly discharge the duties of the office.
AS the new Constitution declares She
riffs ineligible to a reelection, after the
service of a given period, which is much
shorter than that during which some of
the candidates now before you have acted
in that capacity, are not the same reasons
for which this was deemed e1pedient by
the Convention, equally applicable now ?
Both my opponents for this Office have
served as Sheriff for number of years,
and without wishing to speak derogatori-
ly either of the manner in which they
have discharged their official duties, or
their personal characters, would respect
fully submit to the people, whether it
would not be more in accordance with the
ends aimed at by the reform, to substitute
in their place, new man?
Should it be my fortune to receive a
majority of the votes cast for Sheriff,
pledge myself to discharge the duties OF
the office to the best of my abilities, and
if should or should not be elected, !
shall ever remain,
Yours, Truly,
ABA MINOR.

In the Richmond Enquirer, / see an
eastern man" recommending Jonathan
M. Bennett. Esq. of Lewis county. as a
suitable person TO be voted for as Com
missioner of the Board of Public Works,
from this district. With all my heart
second the nomination, and thinking men
all over the district who know Mr.. Ben
nett will say ayel have known him
long and can with truth say that nowhere
in the broad limits of this old common
wealth can man be found who has more
sound practical sense than Mr.. Bennett
he is not one of our aippant, snowy men
with more talk than brains, nor is he a
broken down politician, nor has he made
politics trade. A sound consistent dem
ocrat, he has sontsntsd himself with SER
wing his party and his country as private
citizen and by his industry and attention
to his profession he has accumulated a
competency. Last fall the people of his
county without distinction of party elect
ed him as their delegate to the Legisla-
ture-they knew his business habits, his
sound and sterling worth, and resolved
to avail themselves of his services. The
Office in his hands would not be looked to
as . means to be used for the purpose of
promoting ambitious schemes or private
benefits, but would be used by him for
the benefit of the State and the develop
ment of its immense resources. No man
is more thoroughly acquainted with the
internal improvement policy of the State
no one is more thoroughly Virginian in
his love to the State of his nativity or more
DESTROYS that she should occupy that po-
sition which she is emitted to by her local
ity and resources. The fattery of friends,
the allurements of personal aggrandise-
ment nor the denunciations of enemies
could cause Mr.. Bennett to swerve from
what he believed to be his duty. No
broken down party hack, dependent upon
his Office for his daily bread, he would
have no motive to do wrong, but every
prompting to do right. Modest, and with
out any but an honorable ambition, the
Office would not be used for electioneering
purposes. IfMr. Bennett would accept the
Office, better selection could not be made,
and it is to be hoped that an Office of such
Importance as this, will not be conferred
upon mere .partizans, but that men Of
practica! sense qualified to discharge its
duties, will be chosen. If this be done
the interests of all will be benefited, and
the old State will go on prosperously,-
may we not hope to see her what she once
was, the first State in the confederacy

For the Register.

There are FIVE candidates who have an
nounced themselves for one of the most
important county Offices within your gift
mean the clerkship of the Circuit Court.
1t seems to me that the first and last Ques-
ton we should ask ourselves is, which of
them is most capable, and most likely to
be faithful. 1t is certainly the interest Of
the people to serve themselves by select
ing the best officer regardless of personal
preferences. This rule in my humble
judgment is the proper one. 1t is no
praise to say, (and say it impartially as
u voter only, without fear, favor, or atfec.
ton, GRANVILLE G. DAWSON, the pres
ent incumbent, has been in the fullest
sense of the term, both faithful and cap
able. He has been fully and fairly tried,
and proved himself to be worthy of your
support for his merits and past services,
the others have not been tried. If you
had employed good doctor, carpenter,
blacksmith, shoemaker or any other trades
man, who had always done your business
promptly, faithfully, and correctly at the
same price charged by others, why should
you dismiss him for an untried man :?
would you not run risk of sacrificing
your own interest without prospect Of
benefit We should not be disposed to
give a certainty for an uncertainty
Hitherto Col. Davisson's office has not
been sinecure, he has been truly work
ing man, always at his post, ready and
willing to attend to the duties of the office
To turn him out without getting better
officer in his place, NEARLY for the sake Of
change, would seem to be the height of
folly The principal and only argument
l have heard used against him IS that he
has held she Office a long time, and there
fore HI. ought not now to have the office
a naueshould not be discarded upon such
grounds, this kind of stuff, presume, is
only intended for buncum Butthese are
questions with which we have nothing to
do in the selection of clerk of tho Cir
cult, especially at this very important time.

perience of an old and tried clerk to man

ject to SO many radical changes under the
