MORALS IN PARKERsBURG, WEST VIRGINIA
The people have kind of stupid improv-
ised morality. 1t is wrong to kill man,
but..it is very wrong to steal horse. Horse.
stealing is the highest crime known to them.
One reason. it occurred to me why so many
are for the Union is because to them, seces-
sion means horse-stealing. When Davis
men want horses, they come and take them !;
Lincon's men buy them So that, step by
step, their minds have arrived at the conclu-
sion that the only question at stake between
Davis and Lincoln is a question relating to
the proprietorship of their horses, and their
dislike to hcrse-stealing is synonymous to
their dislike to rebellion. A citizen, whom
l met, summed up the evils of the war some
thing in this vein? 8 There has been a
mighty power of men killed but that amt
so much, you know, for it is life for life-for
you kill q man to-day and be killed yourself
tomorrow, which makes it all right, and no
ones to blame. But think of the horses
that's gone. The horses don't fight, and
their lives is their own, for they don't make
war on each other. As many as four horses
taken last week from near Uncle Dicks and
one young colt The war has sent the
Union to smash v'-Derrick and Drill.

The HAIR SPLIr.-Some designing politi.
clans are constantly engaged in attempting
to create division in the Union party. In
several counties they have succeeded in get
ting into the field a Bolter's Ticket. To se-
cure the Democratic vote they claim that
it Is the Douglas Democracy opposing old
line Republicans, or in other words the
"Shorts" against the Longs" We do not
see it in this light. 1t is simply most dis
graceful and degrading struggle for the
spoils of office. Every prominent candidate
for United States Senator is an old line Re
pubican-the Douglasites have no candidate
for this position. The hash' of these dis
organizers for office will be settled by the
honest voters in September next in the sew
eral counties, and we trust the honesty and
good judgment of our Senators and Repre-
sentatives will wipe them out at the Capital
the coming session of the legislature.-B

FoRD's THEATRE AND BooTH's BRANDY
Ford's Theatre inside presents a scene of the
greatest confusion. All the properties
wardrobes, furniture, etc., of the establish.
ment are piled upon the stage. preparatory
to packing and removing. The purchasers
propose to pay ten thousand dollars to Mr.
Ford, when the property will be conveyed
to them. Strangers in the city are contin-
ually calling and asking admission to the
building; but thus far none have been ad .
mitted, save q few members of the Press
Notwithstanding the close surveillance of
the guards who have had the theatre in
charge, the building has been roughly used.
Curiosity seekers have completely whitfield
away the bench upon which g Peanut John"
sat whilst holding Booths horse; and about
a yard square has been cut away from the
green baize carpet, surrounding the spot
where Booths feet struck when he jumped
upon the stage, after shooting the President.
One of these curious visitors entered the sa-
loon adjoining the theatre, where Booth took
his last drink of brandy just before he mur-
dered Mr.. Lincoln. The visitor inquired of
the barkeeper "Have you the same bottle
on hand out of which Booth drank on the
night of the assassination ?" Eyes, Sir"
&C Let's have it." The visitor tasted the bran
DIR, made a wry face, and continued And
that's the same brandy that Booth drank ?'
g Yes. Sir" We'll, don't wonder that
he killed the President A drink of that
brandy would make man kill his grand

WELL SAID.-We clip the following from
the leader of the Marysville Appeal of the
End inst:
The weakness of the Union party was in
its great numerical force. The dead Limbs
encountered and marred its symmetry and at
tractiveness. Five thousand discordants lop.
ped off will restore the harmony of the organ
ization. We say emphatically to the boil
ters. 60" But leave with us the record of
the Union party. We are proud of its histo
ry. The Union party and the Union soldiers
will entwine their laurels together, and march
on with the good work of reconstructing the
States with Republican constitutions. The
Union of loyal hearts are sealed with the
blood of our lamented President and the half
million OF patriotic soldiers who died for their
country.

PoLITIcAL.-Under this caption the Gold
Hill News copies our article entitled "mut-
terngs," and says: "We all on this side of
the Sierras know where Shasta is and the
bolter fever has even broke out there"
When we wrote it was only mutterings."
Happily even that has subsidized. We think
the ballot boxes in Shasta county will be the
receptacles of undivided Union tickets, and
we believe chat the Democrats even will pre-
fer to rest on laurels gained in the wars,
rather than try for civil honors at the present
election.
