The Doings on Monday, the 12th,

Upon tho supposition that the ice in
the Ohio river would prevent Hon. Henry
A. Wise from filing his appointments at
Parkersburg and Point Pleasant, thu.
gentleman. when in Fairmont, consented
TO address the people Mt CInrksburg. ON
Monday last; and we accordingly made
an announcement TO that effect.
Early on Monday morning, and, indeed.
the evening previous, the people Of this
and the adjoining counties commenced
pouring into our town to hear one Of the
greatest orators Of the day. We heard it
remarked by some Of our oldest citizens
that there never before had been such y
concourse Of people in Clarksburg. The
! disappointment Of this vast crowd, when
it was ascertained that Mr.. Wise would
not be here. was very great-xome had
ridden fifty or sixty miles to heard him.
But he did not come, and all that could
be done was to bear the disappointment
with as good grace as possible. This,
we believe, was generally done, II the be-
icfthat our distinguished candidate would
have been here had it been possible for
him to have done so. The reasons WHY
Mr.. Wise did not come, are given in the
following note which we received from
him on Wednesday
WHEELING, March 10Th, 1885.
Ny DEAR SIR
l hasten to say that find the Ohio
river all open, leaving me no excuse for
not meeting my first appointments. I
must, therefore. to-day or tomorrow,
start for Petersburg and Point Pleasant
l regret. sincerely. that I will not have
the opportunity Of visiting Clarksburg.

that he would quietly pursue his avoca-
ton, instead of making political speeches
about the country to influence votes.
Truly, We have fallen upon strange
times.
CONGRESSIONAL CoNvExr1oN.-We pub
Iish in another column the communica-
ton Of a " Democrat" recommending a
Congressional Convention for this district.
The reasons given by him would, in our
opinion, be- amply sufficient for holding
one and. indeed, make it absolutely ne
cessary for us to do SO. But it so hap
pens that they do not now exist in fact
Mrssrs. C@rlile and Hays are neither of
them candidates, and Col. Beale having
received the Know Nothing nomination
for Lieut.. Governor, will probably with
draw from the Congressional canvass, al
though it is possible that he will remain
candidate aud run for both offices, so
tina! if he misses one lie may hit the 9TH
er. But even if this was not the ease, he
has thrown himself into the embrace of
the dark-Iantern party, and by enlisting
with our opponents has forfeited all claim
to the SUPPORT of the Democratic party.
There is now. So far as We are informed,
but one Democrat in the field for Con-
gress-Hon. C. S. Lewjs-and there APP
pears to be general disposition to let
him have it at this time. We can, there
fore, see no necessity for Convention at
this time, but if our Democratic friends
! of the district think differently, we are
with them. We are decidedly Conven-
lion man-have always been in favor Of
them. and are now, if ope is deemed ne
cessarv.
The KNOW Noru1xe NoM1xAr1oxs.-
The dark-lan,ern party has finally brought
their ticketint the field and we would give
any man nine bundled and ninety mine
chances to guess the names Of the gentle
men who have thus been pushed from the
darkness Of their Council chambers into
daylight, and bet him three cent piece
he would not succeed-yes, we would give
him the thouSandsh chance, and consider
it a safe bet.

stenm viii At Douglas.

One of the pleasant days Of last week
we made flying visit to Douglas-a
town site five miles above this, on the
Kansas. 1t is very romantic LOOKING
place, surrounded by high bluffs. near the
river but back some distance there is
good land. There is plenty OF timber,
but not as Vet much improvement in the
way Of dwelling houses. The cnterpri-
sing settlers, however, proceed upon the
proper plan, viz : first to erect good saw
mill, and then put up their dwellings.
This is an excellent mill. and is under
the superintendent Of a very entsrp,isinu
firm. Dr.. Johnson. son of the present
Governor of Virginia, Mr.. Mcdonald, a
lawyer, AMI Mr.White. machinist. both
Of Virginia. constitute the firm. who as
sisted by two other hands, completed the
enterprise iii about six weeks from the
time it was first projected. The mill is
Pages patent, the saw fifty inches in di-
ametcr, highest speed four hundred rcvo-
lutions per minute, and will cut eight
eight thousand feet per day. The engine
is thirty horse power-the cylinder ten
incheS-StrO he twenty inches. The BOZ
Ter twenty feet by forty inches-the
stack sheet iron. 1t was purchased at
81. Louis, Of Gaty, Mcclure & Co.
We would advise all Of our citizens who
want lumber to put in their lumber bills
soon, MS first come, first served" They
can also rest assured, that, when those
gentlem"nIy proprietors say, "Ye1. sir
you can have two thousand feet OF Ium-
Der by the first Of next week, they mean
what every sensible man would suppose
them to mean.

Tho Wheeler slav. Case at lphil.delphi..

On Friday morning last, Judge Kane
delivered an opinion adversely to the re-
ceptiou of the petition of Jane johnson to
quash the writ Of habeas corpus in the
case Of Passmore Williamson, pronouncing
her to have no statusin court, being en-
tirely without its jurisdiction.
'a The opinion is very elaborate, reviewing
the whole case and reafirming his former
opinion. lie asserted that the law Of ma
tions guaranteed the right Of transit Of
every other species Of property through
territory where slavery was not recognized.
1fthe contrary opinion was sanctioned, the
time might come when the cotton Of Lou
isiana, the rice of Carolina, and the rum
Of New England would be restricted from
transportation, without the bounds of the
State producing them. 81 2s lglss
He maintained that the federal consti-
tuition recognized slaves as property, and
up to 1880, slavery existed in the thirteen
original States. He said that Williamson's s
duty then as now was to produce Jane
Johnson's children. Were the petitioner
here to abide the action of the court, she
would have right tobe heard; but being
without the jurisdiction, the records Of
the court cannot be opened for a stranger.

We have been waiting for some person to
move in the matter here. But those Who
have heretofore taken the lead in procur-
Ing lectures and making the necessary ar
rangements are disposed to stand back
and let otheratry it. They say that the
public mind Is so much absorbed By busi-
ness, as to give no heed to lectures or lit
erary pursuits, Disconnected from specula-
tionsin corner lots and quarter sections.
We believe good lecturers Of known abili-
ties, would draw crowded houses -and
We hope some person or persons will enter
into arrangements for securing such this
fall and winter. Persons in the river
towns are anxious to secure lecturers, and
TO that end wish our cooperation. We
have received letters from Muscatine and
Kcokuk on this subject. By all means
let something be done. Henry Ward
Beecher is now at Rockford. Other gen
tlcmen Of ability win visit the west during
the fall and winter. Let us see AID hear
them in burlington. Whercis the Eona-
delphian Society," Will it not take hold
Of the matter. Good lectures will be well
attended, and pay too!

not expect him to abuse their courtesy by

mush Of an ass as he well could be, did
not interrupt the speaker. But after it
