their branch of business As the law now exists,
it is unusually oppressive. The class of ladies who
earn their livelihood in this branch Of business,
are generally the most worthy and self-reliant of
their sex, and il does that they should be en-
cOuraged. rather than to have the product Of
their labor cppressively taxed. The fact is the
Government, instead of taxing this class Of pro-
ducers should foster and encourage them.

made of a communication received from John

gave in yesterday mornings issue.
Yesterday, however Judge Lawrence and the
City Recorder had an interview, and it was deci-
dcd that all negroes arrested for the-eammission
of crime within thc city. should be sont to the
Frccdmcns' Court.
The various Justices of the peace in this city

He, however, rendered his profound
thanks for the expressions of the Church

should be guided by the same princi-
pies of right and Justice which he had
frequently publicly declared, and which
lay at the foundation of all good gov

A LOCAL mEMENTo.
Democratic Record During the War
What Wheeling Soldiers then
Thought of it. isii}
Resolutions Passed by Battery 3D."


New CREEK, w. Va, Jan. DC, 1864.
Editors InteLligencer:
At meeting of the members of Bat,
terry ID, LIST w. Va. Light Artillery, held
on the evening of the Goth. in Commit
tee of the Whole, the following pream-
BILE and resolutions We're unanimously
adopted, and ordered to be published in
Your valuable paper, from which we
learn that II meeting was held by the
City Council on Saturday evening last,
mt which they passed an ordinance pro-
hibiting the vote of the absent soldiers
| from being admitted at the election
which took place ON Monday in our
city. We sRySOWT city, for there are our
homes, our wives and our children, and
all that we hold dear on earth. We
have thought It not too great a sacrifice
! To leave all these in tho hour when our
homes were threatened by vile traitors
in arms, to do battle in their defence.
By this act of the City Council II
shows clearly the spirit that animates
them, and the feeling they entertain to.
ward us. We feel that we have just
cause to he indignant ut this high-hand-
ed proceeding, but we would have them
remember that we do not expect to be
absent always "On duty"
From the business OF the cause in
which we are engaged, we believe au
I ONeEEulIuB EIuNlueIlC6 Will AIIllle upon
us, and give such signal victory to our
arms, that having conquered perma-
tent pence, we will soon be permitted
| to return to our homes again, and woe
bG to those traitors we have left in our
rear plotting treason. We shall not
Shenth our swords until we have given
them to feel the keenneSS of their edge.
We nre determined not to let this indig-
nifty go unrebuked.
Therefore be It E2eSOLteGL:
l. That MS soldiers in the field striving
to maintain the honor and integrity OF
our once happy country, and as citizens
of Wheeling, there has been grent in
justice done us, and all other absent
soldiers of snid city, by the disgraceful
net of tho City Council of 1868, In. pass-
ing said ordinance in direct violation OF
the law of our State.
2. That they have done this in order
to secure the election of themselves and
others of like ilk. They know the SOL
diers are aware that they are unfit to
hold any office of trust under u loyal
State Government, as they have ALWAYS
been in sympathy with rebels, and there
is reason to believe have been in COM
municatiOn with them.
8. That they deserve to be treated
with scorn and contempt by every loynl
man, aud that they should be classeCl
with cOpperheads and traitors, who
never lose an opportunity to injure the
defenders of the old flag,
4. That the State authorities should
Jake some steps whereby such traitors
would be expelled from their midst,
and not allowed to hold office of trust,
whereby they can injure the interests Of
the soldier.
.. That those noble Union men in the
City Council, Messrs. ClatOr, Delaplain,
Cloudy, Blair and Irwin, who endeuv-
Ored to protect our rights and interests,
are hereby rendered our sincere thanks,
and our cordial support in the future.
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1865-10-26

THE most striking feature of the cleo
ton to-day will be this: What is called
the democratic" ticket viii be voted
for by every voter for the ordinance az
secession, who votes at abby every
man who was known to sympathize
with rebellion during the war-by every
man who was distrusted and feared as
an enemy of the government-by every
one who never gave so much as smile
to a Union victory. In addition to these
characteristics, the bulk of its support
ers will be recognized as men who OPP
posed and denounced the new State
movement, just as Mr.. Richardson,
their candidate, did, and who at that
time, as for months previous, refused to
go to the polls and votelest they might
seem to aequiesce inthe verdict render
ed, or to give countenance tosome other
government or authority in the State
than the rebel government at Rich
mond.
On the other hand, every man who
cast in his fortunes with tho stars and
stripes, the flag of his country, and who
was known of all men on the streets as
for the government, against its foes,
under all circumstances and without
condition, will BIO seen voting the Union
ticket to-day. No man who believed
it was unconstitutional to coerce State,
or that ever denounced tho soldiers as
hirelings, or that ever chuckled over
the defeat of the Union arms, Will vote
that ticket.
Such is the very strong and marked
contrast to-day between the two tickets.
To which of these sides do we feel our
selves drawn for the future guardianship
of the issues growing out of this war;
