MR.-CLEXEHs Observation-Disclosures column
of today's paper will be found manifesto from
Hon. Sherrard Clemens to the people of this
Congressional DistTict--thc purpose of whichis
briefly to indicate to his constituency his course
touching the embryo scheme brewing among
the politicians for nominating convention
just before the occurrence by which Mr.. Glenn
ems was disabled, we expressed ourselves in this
column upon what was clearly his course in re-
gard to a convention-and it was, that the very
moment he or his friends consented to go into a
convention, just so certain did he and they sign
his death warrant. 1t could not be otherwise.
For what is this convention called, will any one
have the goodness to Tell US, except for the one
purpose of ousting Clemens? There might be
some FEASIBILITY in the mountain county poo
pie entertaining proposition of the kind, with
the view to getting representative among
themselves-but even there, we have seem by
the extracts which we have quoted, there is no
desire to get up convention for change of
any kind, much less for the substitution of one
river county for another. If the river
county people are exceedingly anxious to have q
convention for the purpose of turning over to the
mOuntainecrs the lead in the matter, why, then,
very naturally, the people down there don't OBJ
scot 0fcourse they would not object But if,
as the Falrmont VirgIn4GH nu, N,,Usl.adau,o5
the move is just to turn Clemens out
and put somebody else from hereabouts IN,
why then the people out there are not to be
made parties to any such caprice. As we said
before, however, the people in no part of the
district are parties to this matter. 1t is move
ment of the wire workers. AS for ourselves
we "aint caring the toss of copper who the
representative is further than the relative proba-
bilities that may exist of one representing more
nearly the sentiment of our district than anoth-
er. In looking over the probable and prospec-
tive as well as expectunt candidates FOR tho
suPerscdership Gf we may coin n word) we see
no manifestation nor no hope of better repre-.
sentntion than we have now. The politicians
have all apparently foresworn to ignore the best
interests of the district and affiliated themselves
altogether with the niggeriish lead of the ultra
lists East of u.s. When such is the case choice
of evils is the only thing that remains to US
Without at all attempting to speak by the card,
or to endorse Qor everybody knows we don'D
Mr.. Clemens antecedcnts, it may yet be proper
enough for US to say this: that VIC believe he is
more inclined and better disposed towards
true Western Virginia policy than any one who
would be nominated in his place. We are tired
of these ultraists-and the more powerful and
brilliant they may be, SO much the worse is it
for us Therefore, we repeatit, of two evils let
us in all conscience choose the lesser.

DuELLISG.-The N. Y. Commercial notices
the Wise and Clemens duel, and upon the whole
concludes that Wise did good service in COM
.pelling Clemens "to fghtit out.' This burning
gunpowder without murder only encourages
the duel mania, reasons also tho Tribune, which
the Commercial endorses. The Commercial
says:
"Any one who has time to spare would do a
good service to the cause of true honor, and of
public decency, If lie would compile list of all
during the last ten years, giving the provoca-
ton, the number (when any, of shots fired, the
results and terms of reconciiations or compro.
misses.
Itwould be the richest farce ever published,
and would more than justify the suggestion the
Tribune that the large majority of. duels are
ventured simply because it is presupposed they
soilL be fought only an a Pick10icki1n sense.
The time was when mans family gave way to
grief inexpressible if it was known that he had
given or accepted a challenge. The duel then
meant vengeance-an earnest and deliberate in
tent to take life or sacrifice it. Brutal rnd Grim
inal Us was the practice, it had a tragic reality
about it that made men look grave when they
spoke Oft.
The reverse is the case now 1t is but the
resort of, and cloak for bulyis,n and coxcomb-
ry, and the man who, like MIR. Wise, shows that
he retains the old fashioned idea of duelling and
when he accepts a. challenge he accepts it in
earnest, and not merely for the sham of eek
changing shots" and then appealing to the pub
llc," will be likely to be LET alone thereafter

voters AS the time wears on, it is claimed
MOntgomery's claims wear away. Ono thing is
certain, that Jonathan Knights prospects seem
increased fifty per cent. these last two weeks
More improbable things have happened many
time than the old Quaker's election.
The following root hog or die" manifesto we
find in the Washington Reporter, of yesterday:
Republicans of Washington County! Stand
your ground!l 1t will be represented to YOU.
we doubt not, that the election OF Montgomery
is n foregone conclusion-that it is not worth
your while to mako a struggle for Jonathan
Knight. Be not deceived Our latest advices
from the other parts Of the district are, that
Montgomery's majority in Greene, will be re.
duced, at least one hatG and, that Jonathan
Knight will have handsome majority in Fay
ette Stand by the honest old Quaker, and the
JanuS.faced demagogue, who looks to one party
for nomination, and to the other for an election
will be beaten
Whether such is the case or not, as is repre-
scented above, is matter of no particular con-
Germ. The question for the people is, or ought
to be, which man OUGHT we to elect On the
one side we see man whose private and public
character is not only above rcproach, but above
suspicion. He is a man that people know they
can tie to. He is devoted to his people and to
their interests. He goes in for protecting their
interests-for fostering their industry, and for
advancing, in every efficient way, the cause of
industry and civilization On the other side is
man who is perfect political chameleon
Neither his friends nor his enemies seem to have
any definite idea as to what he believes in
He has been nominated by one party and en-
dorsed by another, both, seemingly, hoping and
trusting that they have him. He has protec-
tion-anti.L ecompton, English bill and Repub-
llcanism all mixed up, and thus presents the GU
rions spectacle of walking olla-podrfda to the
people of the district Such an homogeneous

BRINoING THEIR Noses TO THE GRINDsroSE.
1t is a theory of some people--always has
been in this country--that men had the right to
have an opinion. See now whethsrit is the case
or not. The Washington Union, great critical
newspaper Organ" (asit calls ITSELF says:
The speediest and most effectual mode the
down the National Democracy, and thereby
breaking upthe Union is to persuade The Demo-
cratic organization of the South to agree to
allo0 a latitude Of opinion and action on Ma.
tional questions to the Democracy Of tic North.
If they bring the South to this iaczuigeacs, there
'0ilSthes DC no National Democracy, no Union
party.

ness have they enjoying "a latitude of opinion

EXPECTATION OF GRAIN IN BAGs.-For some time
past the expectation of grain in bags has been almost
entirely suspended in consequence of an order from
Secretary Cobb, sabecting the bags, when returned
empty, to an impost duty. The duty was energetic
ally protested against as contrary to the spirit of
tariff laws, and it has at length been decided by the
Treasury Department that bags of American manu-
facture, exported from the United States, filed with
grain, and afterwards returned empty, or exported
empty and afterwards imported filed with grain, WILL
as heretofore be admitted to entry free of duty upon
the production of the proof of such origin required
by law and the regulations of the Department.

The AMERICANS AND REPUBLICANS IN New YORK.
on the evening of the 23d the convention of the
American party in the Eighth Congressional District
of New York. met and rendered the nomination to
Hon Erastus Brooks. Mr.. Brooks, in a long letter,
declines the nomination. and reviews in severe terms
the conduct of the Republicans towards the Ameri-
cans both in that city and throughout the State He
says their idea of union is that Americans may vote
for Republicans, but not Republicans for Americans
and that theiram is to establish political olgarchy
in that State, no better in spirit than the Thirty
tyrants who conquered and usurped the government
of 4thensn
