MATErMoNIAL.--We think North
Wheeling is emphatically the eccentric
part CT the city. A short time ago, we
noticed the marriage of an ancient fe-
male to a modern male. Two other
couple have come to our notice. A
somewhat faded widow of forty-fiye
winters was lately united in the holy
bonds of wedlock TO q Young man OF
thirty summers, who said "he had never

were invited in TO the marriage feast,
which consisted of a key of beer and a
half bushel of pretzels. But here fol-

Of cale-heayy sponge cake-cheese,
beer ale, some whisky in a jug under
the table-and ''stOgies" for dessert. A
bridemaid and groomsman stood up
with the gushing pair. In the loving
arms of the fair old bride was a bloom
ing girl of two summers, and when the
bride would become embarrassed during
the solemn ceremony, she would kiss
baby. But the ''touchingest' scene of
all was when the Squire alluded to the
love they must bear each other through
thick and thinH-shc wilted, she wept,
she sobbed aloud; and then the baby
cried in its mothers arms; and then the
young groom, his heart too full for ut

around the bride and the baby, and
bowed his head between them, and was
only aroused to consciousness by baby
pulling his hair. The Squire tl.en Gin

THE FULTON PAPER MuLs.-Wc yes
trrdav made brief mention of the fact
that the Fulton paper mills bad been
sold by McSSrs. Armstrong Il Son to
Mc>srs. Lewis. Little X Co., OF this city.
The mills were built III 1851 10y Mr..
John Armstrong. and have been owned
and conducted 10y him ever since.
When the mill was first erected Wheel
inc was quite a small city and Fulton 4
mere village. In 1882 the property,
mill and all was entirely ovcrtiowcd by
the flood. Within the past ten or
twelve years Mr.. Armstrong has greatly
improved the mill, furnishing it with
the most modern and approved machin-
cry. etc. and now the mills are second
to none in the country.
MesSrs Lewis, Little * Co. will take
charge of the establishment to-day, and
continue the manufacture of the excel
lent paper for which the mill has so
long been celebrated. The gentlemen
composing the new firm are all well
well known in this city, and will, we
are sure, conduct and transact business
in such Il manner as to give satisfaction
to all who may favor them with their
patronage.

COUNTERFEITING TREASURY NOTES
IMPORTANT INVESTIGATION AND
CURIOUS DEVELOPMENTS.

From the New York Herald, 2jth.l
An investigation of more than ordinary
importance is now in progress before United
States Commissioner OSBORN. The prisoner
is accused of having had in his possession,
with intent to utter the same, counterfeit
one hundred dollar three year compound
interest Treasury note. The testimony thus
far ELECTED, if reliable, discloses the exist
ence of a most extraordinary state of affairs
in the printing or engraving bureau of the
United States Treasury Department. One
witness, employed in the plate printing de-
partment, testi6es that he was approached
in regard TO taking impressions of the plates
on lead and paper, and furnishing them TO
outside parties. To ease the conscience of
the witness il was urged that other parties
were cheating the Government, and he
might lust As well have the benefit of doing
the same. 1t appears that the impressions
were delivered, the fraudulent printing
plates engraved, and large Issue of coun-
terfeit Treasury notes was the consequence.
The investigation +hus far shows not only
criminal negligence on the part Of the per-
sons having in charge the plate printing bu
reau. but also presents the case in an aspect
seriously affecting the moral character of
certain parties in and out of the department.
4 couple of women, one Of whom, at least,
was employed in the Treasury Department,
are brought upon the stand, and with great
reluctance testify 10 the Criminality Of the
accused, their completely with the parties,
and the impurity of their social relations
with them. The immoral character OF some
of the female employees in the Treasury
Department has heretofore been a subject OF
comment. Ii has even been asserted that if
King DAVID had had Treasury printing
bureau in his day il would not have been
necessary for him 90 have sent URIAH to the
front. All these accusations, however, were
considered mere inventions and scandals,
the offspring Of malace and envy.
Rut we have in the case before Us substan-
tialeyideuceof different character. tits I'M
pleasant 10 dwell upon the social delinquen-
cies Of Governments officials; but, however
disagreeable the task, the whole rottenness
Of the Treasury Department from the thirty
millions discrepancy under eN-Secretary
CHAsE's administration down to the stealing
of the impressions Of the Treasury note
plates of the Government and the circum-
stances attending their transfer TO a gang Of
counterieiters, is a matter Of the utmost inn
portance, and should not be passed over
without a rigid Congressional investigation.
Ii Is stated that these alleged counterfeit
plates are not impressions merely, but &C
tually the original plates engraved Cor the
Treasury Department IL this be true so
much the more urgent is the necessity for a
thorough overhauling Of everything con-
nected with the management of the depart
ment from the beginning Of the rebellion to
the present time.

From TEXAS.

The Union State Convention Of Texas met
at Navasota, day before yesterday, for the
purpose of appointing delegates to the Phil
adelphia Convention Of August 18th. All
portions of the State were represented. The
following resolutions were adopted:
Resoiced, That this Convention accept the
principles and objects set forth in the call for
a National Union Convention at Philadel-
phia on the 18th day of August next, and
that the delegates to that Convention are APP
pointed on the basis of that call
Res0LUed, That Unmistakeable evidence Is
before us that plot and conspiracy are on
foot and being carried on by the Radicals OF
Texas to falsify and defame the people OF
Texas to the people of the Northern States,
to represent us as hostile to the Constitution
and Government of the United States, as
vindictiye and violent towards Northern
citizens and adherents to the Federal Union
during the late war, and as unjust and OPP
pressive towards the freed people in our
midst
ResolUed, That these charges, severally and
collectively, are false and malicious, made
solely for political objects, to infame and
embitter the North against Texas, to pre-
vent the restoration of regular government
harmony and good order, and to obtain pc.
litical rule and power in defiance of the
choice and will Of the great mass ofthe peo'
pie Of the State.
Resolcsd, That We invoke the people of the
North of every party, in the spirit Of con
dor and justice, to give no crcdence or cohf
dence to falsehoods only calculated to mis-
lead them, to wrong us, and to promote dis
sension and prolong sectional i'll feeling fol
the iniquitous attempts of unjust politica
power.
Resolred That the gratitude Of the people
Of Texas is due and is hereby rendered t
President JOHNSON for the spirit of wisdom
and magnanimity in which he has enleay
ored to re-establish the Federal Union.

PoLAND's NARIETIEs.-The diligent read
ers Of current politics will remember that a
few months ago a L. S. Senator was elected
from Vermont, to fiji a vacancy which is
now about to expire. To secure re-elec-
ton, for which he is a candidate, he intro
duced, on Saturday last, a bill which provides
that in any action Of tort to person or prop
erty done between April Is, 1861, and July
I, 1865, it shall be lawful to plead or give in
evidence in bar of said action:
/. That at the time when the wrong was
committed that the plaintiff was disloyal to
the government Of the United States.
, That the plaintiff was engaged in insur-
rection and rebellion against the United
States.
3. That the plaintiff aided and comforted,
and svmpathized with the rebels and insur-
gents against the government of the United
States.
4. That the plaintiff applied for and OBJ
tanned pardon from the President relieving
him of the penalties of treason.
The establishment Of either point shall be
a good defence.

he could get mp. Besides, ii might place his
reelection beyond doubt.

THE first duty Of the true conservatives
of Tennesseeis to register as voters. Let no
punctilio or recollection Of the past free
elections influence the legal voter. Apply
for certificate, and if it is refused sue the
Commissioner for damages without delay.
At the first and every election, go forward
and vote;-if your vote is refused, sue the
judges and holders Of the election. Nothing
would be more gratifying to the Radicals
than for the friends Of constitutional liberty
to make no contest with them. They would
wrest from the people the last remnant Of
civil and political liberty, and it is the duty

its self-respect by dismissing from his place

the decencies of life, and show such fragrant
