Hon. sherrard Clemens.

As NAV be seen in a Card which we
pnblish this morning, Hon. SHERRARD
CLEMENS, has consented to be voted for
to represent Marshall countyin the House
of Delegates. We are very glad indeed
that Nh CLEMENS has been persuaded to
come ont from the political retirement
which he CLOSE to occupy during the
past few years, and will give to our peo-
pie again the benefit of his splendid and
well known abilities. The next session
of the legislature in this State will be
one of much Importance, and it should
be a matter of earnest consideration
among the people to secure the election
to that body of the best talent the State
affords
TIE time still to elapse before the cleo
ton is so short that Mr. CLEMENS will
not he able to thoroughly canvass Mar
shall county, but probably he will make
two or three speeches during the remain
der of the campaign, though he is so well
known that scarcely any canvass is ne

the men of Marshall will be sufficiently
alive to their own interests to give him
an overwhelming vote.

Wood and T,ler-A Correction.

Acorrespondent in Wood county writes
us that OKEY JOHNSON, Esq, whose an
nouncement as a candidate for the House
of Delegates we noticed a few days ago,
is an old line Wing, and not Democrat"
as we called him. We very cheerfully
make the correction. at the same time en-
dorsing Mr. JOHNSON as gentleman, no
matter how his political statas is designa-
ted file is decidedly opposed to the test
oath and constitutional amendment, and
may he relied upon to pursue straight
forward conservative course III tho next
legislature. He is man of pndouhted
ability, and viii represent mis- county
well.
Aud, while speaking of this subject, We
wish also to notice the fact that Colonel
B. B. JOHNSON, late Of the i4th West
Virginia regiment, brother of OKEY
JOHNSON of Wood county, is q candidate
for the House of Delegates In Tyler coun.
ty. He lisa whole souled, generous man
and gallant soldier, and is opposed to
the radicalism which was rampant in
the legislature last winter. he will re-
ceive the support Of the conservative
men of Tyler, and will certainly be elect
Cd. Hisinfuence, like that of his both
or, 0KEY, will always be given against
prescription and persecution, and in ia

mont nanesake, the President, has wisely
adopted. "a ava Tg-Asf1s 81 FEE d

yesterday morning that "the whole cur:

very glad indeed that he has last recog;
nized the fact, and trust that hereafter
he will govern himself accordingly.
But we would like to ask abont how
much influence the Intelhgencer has had
in turning the current of popular feeling
towards mercy and Cancellation. Have
not it and its party been struggling
against Cancellation and laboring to
keep alive the embers Of civil strife 2
Has not that newspaper betrayed a
malignant and vindictive spirit IN
every mention it has made Of
every man concerned in the late rebel
.lionY Can any reader of the paper put
his finger upon a single paragraph in ia
vor Of mercy and Cancellation that has
appeared in the Intelligencer, or upon {
notice of any person connected with thu
rebellion which did not bear sneerine
and insulting tone9 Is not the whole
policy Of the Republican party in thi
State full of bitterness and revenge
However the leaders of that party ma.

cannot escape the conclusion that the,
have been forced into their present att

N. RICHARDSON,
N. n. GARRISQN.
TIC pPound Of FIesh."

A bill has been introduced In the leg-
islature of Vermont providing for the;
taxation Of government securities. Hs
this can be done in New England, in the
most thoroughly Republican State in the.
Union, why can it not be done here's If
q general protest were to be issued by.
the people and the Legislatures of the
various States against the monstrous
inequality of taxation which the exemp-i
ton of government bonds has created,
the Congress would be compelled. to so
modify the existing laws az to make capt.
talbear its due proportion of the expenses
incurred in its protection. The present
systemr oversees the soundest rules of po-
litic.l economy. 1t taxes labor, for the ben
eft of capital, instead of making capital
contribute to the support of labor. 1t IA
vors the few. at the expense of the many.
It tends to make the rich, richer; and the
poor, poorer That such q system should
nave ItSdi SStuVtiOA oo eh0 PASSSns N~y
and be nnblushingly defended by some
who claim to be lovers of justice, is a sad
commentary upon the degenersey OF
these times The man who, by some
stroke of fortune, has amassed a few
thousands of dollars and invested them
in government bonds, no matter what
liberal principles he may have protested
before, becomes straightway an oppo,
nent Of equal taxation. The printed
paper in his pocket gives him claim to
his epound of flesh" and she sternly ex-
acts it because cit is so nominated in
the bond" Is it not passing strange
that. for few paltry dollars, men will
deny the plainest principles of justice
drive hard bargains with the poor, and
coin into money the blood and sweat Of
their fellow men.

The Consnir.acx rrinI

WASHINGTON, June 27.-Sanford Como
yer, alias Wallace, was recalled by Govern
ment, and testified that after he left WASH
ington, which was on the same day that he
testified here, he visited Montreal, where
ne met Tucker, Sanders, Carol, Pullin,
Wescott and number of others. They did
not know at that time that he (witness) had
been before this Commission. and therefore
received him with great cordiality. Tuck
er, while speaking of this trial, denounced
| Secretary Stanton and President johnson
| as scOundrels, and Judge Holt as a blood
| thirsty old villain, and added that ''they
should protect themselves, for by the Gods
| the day OF reckoning would come, and q
heavy account would have to be settled"
Subsequently, when it became known that
witness had testified here, his life was mem
aced, and on several occasions pistols were
drawn and threats made to shoot him (wit-
messy dead il he did not swear and sub
scribe to an affidavit to the effect that he
had not testified before the Commission,
and that the Conover representing him
(Wallace) had testified to a tissue of false
hoods. This, witness repeated, was sworn
to by him under duress, with pistols pre-
sented In his face. He did it to save his
life.
A witness named Ausear corroborated
the testimony in part.
John Cantley and w. D. Groves, printers
from Selma, testified to the handwriting
of G. w. Gale, of Cahawba, who had pro-
cured the publication of an advertisement
in the Selma Dispatch, advertising for one
million of dollars In order to procure the
death of Lincoln, johnson and Seward.
Judge Advocate Holt said all the Govern
ment testimony was now In.
Assistant Judge Advocate Bingham then
read an elaborate argument in reply to that
of Reverdy johnson on the jurisdiction of
the court. Mr.. Bingham shows that the
proclamation issued by President Lincoln
authorizing the trial of insurgents, their
aiders and abettors, by courts-martial and
military commissions, had been ratified by
act of Congress; and also that the Supreme
Court had decided that the ratification by
Congress was unnecessary,
