good faith should avoid such suspicious
circumstances.
WE hear of some electioneering on
the part of,PpE opponents that will not
bear tho light of day. Among other
things, headway is attempted to be
made by representing that Jacob Horn
brook, Esq, One OF the Union nomi-
nees, was the paid agent of the United
States and of the State of West .Vir-
giniaI in all that he did for tho soldiers
durfng the war. There is not a word
OF truth in any such representation.
Mr.. HOrnbrook has never, in any way,
dirertIy or indirectly, received from any
source a single penny for his services.
On the contrary, he is largely ont of
pocket for expenses incurred, money
loaned and spent in thousand differ
ept ways, in the hospitals and among
the camps, Tor the benefit of the SOL
diers, much. II not most of which, he
will. never. get back. AIR. Hornbrook
collected and Forwarded to the families
and friends of West Virginia soldiers,
over million of dollars during the
war, without the loss or expense of SO
much as a postage stamp to the brave
men whom he SO disinterestetlIy and
p4trlptically served. He has a record
that no man can inipugn-one that has
endelred him to the soldiers and their
friends-Ohe which they will not forget

..YHls SEQ by a copy of the Staunton
PfndieGtor that Hon. A. Il. II. Stuart, Of
that town, persisted in holding on as a
candidate for Congress aftcrall the rest,
who could not truthfully take the oath,
had drawn OF. We presume he was
pretty largely voted for yesterday by
his friends. Perhaps he may he elected.
He admits that he cannot take the oath
required, but defies the House TO keep
him out. if he is elected, the oath being
in his opinion unconstitutional. The
pleasant frame OF mind in which. Mfr.
Stuart proposes to knock at the door OF
the hall Of The House of Representa-
tfves, does not argue greatly for his dis
erection. His constitutionalviews differ
from those Of the great majority Of
both Houses OF the last Congress, and
OF the late President. A similar differ
snee existed when he was in the rebel
lion and they were active in putting Il
down. Itseenls that neither side con-
WINGED the other; and we can very con-
tidently assure Mr.. Stuart that in the
new contest which he seeks, as in that
from which he has just emerged, Con-
gress will be too much for him. Moth
ing Of the kind can be more certain
than that the men who do not take the
oath-unless the law be repealed. al
which there Is no present probability
will not take their seats In either House
Of Congress. It is not for a man, lust
ont OF the rebellion, to dictate constitu.
tional law to Congress; and Congress
viii not adapt Its Legislation to sui,
s4cll mlsn. We suppose that Mr.. Stuar,
regards the greater part of the laws OF
Congress, during the last four years. as
uneonstitutional; we are quite certain
that Congress regards many of Mr..
stnart's acts as REASONABLE. The con-
test, Mr.. Stuart on one side and the
House OF Representatives ON the other.
may be very interesting, but it will not
be likely 70 last long. II we were in
