being surrounded by large number Of visit0fs, M
Schade did not consider II proper TO ask for direct an

A Veteran Editor Dead.

The Kanawha Republican comes to us
this week clad in mourning for the death
of it's venerable editor, ENos WOOD NEW,
TON. He died at his residence in Charles
ton, on the 2Sth ult., in the seventy-sec
ond year of his age. He has conducted
the Kanawha Republican during almost a
quarter of century, that newspaper
having been established by him in ls4l
previous to which time he had been sew
eral years engaged in the publication Of
the Wheeling Gazette.
Mr. NEWTON was possessed OF much
vigor as a writer, and his long expert
ence in public affairs gave much weight
to his opinions The last year of his life
has been devoted to allaying the bitter
ness created by the civil war and in man
ly opposition to the schemes of the radi
cal party in this State. His death at thi
time is public calamity.
He was gentleman of high standing
in the community in which he lived, ant
enjoyed an enviable reputation as goo
man, in the widest acceptation of th
term

Judge PoIslcy and the Test Onih

At the recent session of the circuit
court in Charleston, Judge PoLsLEY al.
luded to the test oath law in his charge
to the Grand Jury and, without pro-
nouncmg any opinion on its constitution
atty, advised that it should not be en-.
forced except in extreme cases He also
laid down the we'll settled principle Of
law that an officer enforcing an unconstitu
tional lar does 1t at has o,rn peril 3
This conduct of Judge PoLsLEY is in
honorable contrast with that of Other
Judges whom we might name, and vindi
Gates the reputation he already enjoys o.
higher legal ability than many of hi:
brethren on the bench in this State.

Wa feel confident that the Democratic
ticket will be successful in Pennsylva-
MIA and that the majority will not be
likely to fall below eight Thousand. Last
wear the Republican majority in that
State was twenty thousand and seventy
FIVE ~ y &A--A-N% B
In Ohio, we, of course, expect the Re-
publican ticket to be elected. Little less
than an absolute miracle is needed to
efface the majority of nearly sixty thous-
and votes cast by the Republican party
in that State last fall We expect, how
ever, that this majority will be largely
reduced, and this reduction may justly Dc
regarded as a Democratic victory II
General Cox receives majority OF
thirty thou sand, he will do more than
| many of his friends anticir ate lit is more
probable that his majority will not ex'
coed twenty-four or five thousand. This
immense falling off of the Republican
strength will have the effect of showing
that the current of popular opinion is
setting strongly in favor of the Presi
Dental policy and as strongly against
the proscriptive schemes of the radical
faction.

The Influence Of the Eve.

Lichtenstcin says the African hunters
avail themselves OF the circumstance that
the lion does not ,.ttempt to spring upsz
his prey till he has measured the ground,
and has reached the distance of ten or
twelve PAGES, when he lies crouching on
the ground, gathering himself up for the
effort. The hunters, he says, make a rule
never to fire upon the lion till he lies
down at this short distance, 50 that they
can aim directly at his head with the
most perfect certainty. If one meets
lion, his only safety is to stand still, though
the animal crouches to make his spring,
that spring will not be hazarded if tho
man remain motionless. and look him
steadily in the eyes. The animal hesi-
tates, rises, slow y retreats some steps,
looking earnestly about him--lies down
again retreats, till, getting by degrees
quite out of the magic circle of mans inhu-
ence, he takes to flight in the utmost
haste.

How to Pay OffsIle National Debt.

The New iolk News, suspecting that
there may be little humbueging in
James Gordon Benefits plan OF paying
off the rational debt by donations of $40
900, proposes what it considers
better onc-namely: Let every citizen.
who is possessed of any Government secu-
rites, bonds, sevcn-thirties, five twentiss,
grceebacks, legal tenders, currency or
other indications of national Indebtedness,
hand it in unreservedly to the national
treasury as donation to the republic
Thus the whole debt could be cancelled in
day, which will save time and bother,
and be a much more sublime exhibition
of the loyal munlicence of the American
character than that suggested by our CO.
temporary 1t will be more just and
equitable, likewise; for as those evidences
of debt are distributed among individuals
very nearly in proportion to their wealth,
the sacrifice, to each one, will be measur-
ed by his ability to endure it.

Report About John Surratf.

Washington Correspondence of Phia Inquirer.
We learn that John Surratt left Wash
ington the morning alter the murder, at
6:l5 A. NJ, going via Philadelphia and
New York to Springfield, Mass, where
he was delayed by tsains missing connec-
ton, and remained all day. lie then took
the cars and went direct to- Burlington,
where, in getting his supper he dropped his
handkerchief, with his name marked upon
it. At St. Adams he left the train and
proceeded on foot to Canada, where he
went part way by rail and part on foot
to Montreal, where he was sccreted by
some of the sympathizers, and on the
morning of the 10Th he had an interview
with Geo. y. Sanders. He then left and
went in the direction of a monastery. He
was known to be in that vicinity that day
and cannot since be found or heard of. Ii
is probable that he is within their walls.
Sanders has taken to hard drinking, and
was the next day in perfect state of in
ebration, which condition he was still ii
at last accounts.

The Two Apprentices.

Two boys were apprentices IN cay
penters shop. One determined to make
himself thorough workman, the other
didn't care. One of them read and stud

understand the principles of his trade. He
spent his evenings at home reading The
other liked fun best lie often went with
other boys to have "a good time" Come"
he often said TO his shop mate. "ieaye your
old books; 90 with US. What's the use of
all this reading :" IF waste these gold
en- moments was the boys answer, Il
can never make NJ" While the boys
were still apprentices an offer of two
thousand dollars appeared in the newspa-
pers for the best plan for state house, to
be built in one of the eastern states
The studOus boy saw the advertisement
and determined to try for it. After cares
ful study he drew out his plans, and sent
them to the committee. We suppose he
did not really expect to gain the prize;
but he thought there is nothing like try
ing In about week afterwards gen
tleman arrived at the carpenters shop and
! asked ifan architect by the name of Wash
itOn Wilberforce lived there. Ne" said
the carpenter, mo architect. but I've go,
an apprentice by that name" Lets see
HIM" The young man was summoned,
and informed that his plan was accepted,
and that the two thousand dollars were
his. The gentleman then said that the
boy must put the building up; and his ena-
ployer was SO proud of his success, that he
willingly gave him his time and let him 90,

Opinion OF stephen A Douglas

In the discussions before the people of
Illinois just previous to the last election
to the United States Senate, Judge Doug
is said:
Il held that a negro is not and never
ought to be Il citizen Of the [ Cnited States
hold that this Government was made
upon a white basis, by white men for the
benefit OF white men and their postcrty
forever, and should be administered by
white men and none others | do not
believe that the Almighty made the negro
capable Of self-government.
Nov say to You, my fellow citizens
that in my opinion, the signers of the
Declaration Of Independence..had no refer
ence to the negro whatever when they
declared all men created equal. They de-
sired to express by that phrase white men,
men of European BIRTH and European de
scent, and had no reference to the negro.
the savage Indians, or other inferior or
degraded races At that time every one
of the thirteen Colonies was Il slave-hold-
ing colony, and every signer Of the Declara-
ton represented slavcholiing consistuen-
cy, and We know that none OF them eman-
cipated his slaves, much less offered citl-
zenship to them when they signed the
Declaration
