PROCTOR, WEST VIRGINIA, !
JoIx =, 1900


Editors of the Register
My attention has just been called to- a
communication which appears in the
IntelHgencer of this date. signed "Magno-
lia," and pnrportlng to be written from
Wetzel county.
Were it not that such communications
are calculated to leave an erroneous I'M.
preston upon the minds of persons not
cognizant of the facts, l would not in
trude upon your columns.
The communication referred to is a
tissue of ISLANDERS from beginning to end,
and the writer knew it
AS soon as it was determined by the
people here to have celebration, the
few Radical Disunionists, (and thank
God they are few, determined if possible
to prevent it. For this purpose they
circulated all manner of "evil reports, "
but the success which attended our cele-
bration proves them as harmless to do
mischief as they are bankrupt in charac-
ter.
AS for the celebration at Kirkharts, "the
thousand true and Loyal citizens" num-
bered one hundred and forty-two includ-
ing children, the ancient young ladies,
Doctor and "Dick."
The people fully appreciate the "sensi-
BILE and patriotic efforts of DIR. Young.
The overwhelming vote he did not receire
for School Commissioner proves that he
is known.
AS for the charge that the National
Ensign" was ever "insulted' or torn"
by the people of Proctor, it is false as
the heart that could utter the ISLANDERS.
The intimation, if not the direct
charge, that whisky was sold, &c, is
equally false; nor was the celebration a
political gathering.
AS to the fling at one of our citizens,
he will treat it with the silent contempt
it merits.
In conclusion, we will say to Magnolia
we know you, you are probably the chap
who has for six months past been trying
in vain to make the Conservatives be.
heve you uere honest. Go, poor ,oretch,
meet in your midnight cabals dub them
Loyal Leagues do the dirty work OF
your masters, and lie to your hearts con.
tent, but do not foist your senseless
trash upon the white people of

gent men should make themselves IA
miliar with it. l anticipate an easy
victory over all opposition. For not
only will patriotic citizens in the North
be impressed and convinced by these
mastery arguments, but the South will
see for itself, how futile it is to resist a
cause so powerful in the support of
three-fourths of the one branch of Com
gress, aud more tNan two thirds of the
other, and also in the moral force OF its
own intrinsic merits. S nator Lane, of
Kansas predicted that four Southern
States stand ready to say yes to the
amendment. And | believe that Cons
gress will admit every recent insurgent
State as it does So How little margin
will then be left for the Copperheads OF
the North to make war upon the Union
Republican party in the coming elec.
tions? OCCASIONAL.

FINE ENGLISH.

The Nation quotes some sentences
from Mr.. De'ning's speech on Grant, in
the House of Representatives, as choice
specimens of "elegant oratory," as ,n>
deed they arc. For instance, Mr.. DEM
ing described the Capitol as "this mas
sive structure, with its soiled foundations,
expanded wings, towering columns, and
bubbling DOME" which, perhaps, may
all be "engultedin in Lethe's dark waters"
And here Is another fine passage "Far,
far back at the very dawnpof history, in-
deed upon the very first page Of mans
tempestuous annals, writ in faded HERO
gyphics upon crumbling columns"
But they have writer in the South
ern States who can beat Mr.. Deming,
and give HIM odds, Writing in the
Crescent Monthly of Lees surrender, he
remarks: "The supreme hour was now
come, when from across Fame's burning
elliptic. where it had traced, in flaming
sheen its luminous path OF glory, the
proud Aldebaran Of Southern hope in all
the splendors of its express, nyades
brightness, should sink, to rest behind
ruril war clouds, IN the fateful western
heaven, there to bring out, on deaths
dark canopy, the immortal lights of i'm.
mortal deeds, and spirits great and glori-
GUS, shining forever down upon ,auss
in darkness, like tho glittering hosts up
on world in night
But the West presents us with an ex-
ample besides which tho efforts both Of
the East aud the South, both Of Deming
and the Crescent Monthly, become tame
and fiat. The Leavenworth Conserva-
tive, commenting, year or two ago,
upon an election in Kansas, eloquently
remarked: "Thc fall of corruption has
been dispelled, and the wheels of tho
state government will no longer be tram.
meled by sharks that have beset the
public prosperity like locusts. IN. Y.

THE BORE OF THE SANCTUM.
BY JOHN O. SAKE.

Again hear the creaking step!
He's rapping at the door!
Too well know the boiling sound
That ushcrs in bore
do not tremble when meet
The stoutest of my foes
But Heaven defend me from the friend
Who comes but never goes.
He drops into my easy chair
And asks about the news;
He peers into my manuscripts,
And gives his candid views;
He tells me where he likes the line,
And where he's forced to grieve;
He takes the strangest liberties
But never takes his leave.
He reads my daily paper through
Before I've seen word;
He scans the lyric (that wrote),
And thinks it quite absurd;
He camly smokes my last cigar,
And coolly asks tor more;
He opens everything he secs
Except the entry door.
He talks about his fragile health,
And tells me of his pains
He suffers from score of ills,
Olwhich he ne'er complaids;
And how he struggled once with death
To keep the ficnd at bay;
On themes like those away he goes
Blu. never goes away!
He tells mo ofthe carpng words
S me shallow critic wrote,
And every precious paragraph
Familially can quote.
He thinks the writer did me wrong,
He'd like to run him through
He says thousand pleasant things
But never says "Adieu'"
Whcne'er he comcs-that dreadful man
Disguise it as 1may,
know, that like an Autumn rain,
He'll last throughout the day.
In vain speak of urgent tasks,
In vain scowl and pout;
A frown is no extinguisher--
1t does not put him out
mean to take the knocker off
Put Grape upon the door;
Or hint to john that am gone
To stay month or more.
| do not trcmbc when meet
The strongest of the foes;
But Heaven defend me from the FREUD
Who never, never goes

THE REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF
FIFTEEN!
WASHINGTON June 10, 1866.

WASHINGTON June 10, 1866.
Simultaneous with the triumphant
passage of the joint resolution proposing
the new or XVIII Article of the Consti-
tuition of the United States, by the vote
of more than'two>thirds of the Senate,
Hon. VIM. Pitt Fessenden, of Maine,
chairman Of the Senate branch Of the
Committee on Reconstruction, on FRI
day last presented the report of the la,
bors of himself and his colleagues. from
the time of their appointment, on the
18th of December, 1865. Nearly six
months, within few days, have been
given to an investigation into questions,
the disposition of which, as the commit
tee wells says, ''involves the welfare OF
the Republic in all future time !" and he
who carefully reads their statement will
be impressed with the madness and folly
of the men who expected such work to
be hastily accomplished, and who de-
mand tnat the recent rebels shall be adj
mitted into the councils Of the nation in
contempt of the facts and arguments
here so clearly and powerfully set forth.
Considering this statement, side by side
with the proposed amendment OF the
National Constitution, we are startled a,
the audacity which overlooked reasoning
that ought to have been lnstipcively sug
gested to all patriotic minds. We sec
new cause for gratitude to Congress fol
their heroic constancy and philosophic
inquiry, and new cause for wonder tina,

significance. As you have properly
