RADICAL WRATH.

1t Is quite amusing to see the immense
amount of indignation which the miserable
squad of radicals in this vicinity is showing
of since the election. These fellows. eleven
or twelve in number, are believing out Ius-
tly against what they call 'snon intercourse ="
The withers of the CALLED jades are wincrne :
and we'll they may. The great majority of
our people, embracing those in all branches
OF business, intend to prescribe these eleven
or twelve men, who have voted to decitizen-
re them, and now that the fact is becoming
eertaln-that it is being shown socially and
commercially, they, the radicals, roll up their
eyes, and round up their mouths. and crv
aloud against the 'monstrous outrage" The
pocket nerve is the proper one to touch these
fellows on, aud the more and harder it is
pressed the better for the State.
The people of this conference.-the of
this township, have the power in their hands
10 kill OFF this concern of Sanborn. Myers.
KIdenour, and their eight or nine partners,
by refusing to hold either business or social
relations With them combining each of them
TO the contracted sphere of their ten or eleven
associates in the Infamous doings of the fourth
Thursday of May. This power should be
brought to bear in every way; and it would
be soon apparent, that though we are johnson
men and, therefore, ''no citizens of the State
of West Virginia" we have power in our
hands stronger than the bullet or the ballot.
These eleven, men cannot support miller,
blacksmith, a merchant, nor any other man.
of any business whatsoever, and the sooner
the ''disfranehisers' are made to know the
fact, the better.
The wrath of tie whole batel, cannot hurt
any body-it only tells against themselves
So letme" blow on, and let the people strike

and our word for it they will soon find every
member of the concern coming back and

rHr rRrAr. on MR. DAVIS.

From tie proceedings of the United States
District Court, which convened in Richmond
last week, and which will be found elsewhere
in our paper this morning, it will be seen that
day has been fixed for the trial of Mr.. JEFF
ferson Davis, who has been for more than one
year confined as a prisoner at Fortress Mon
roe Some hope has been expressed that the
Postponcment of Mr. Davis trial would result
in his being paroled until the timo settled
upon by the government for his arrangement
From the following extract, connected with
the proceedings of the Court, there. seems to
be little ground for the indulgence of this
hopes
Mr.. Davis's counsel were taken out by Mr..
j. H.. Gilmer to be introduced to Judge Un-
derwood. In their absence it was ascertained
that a letter had been received from Mr.. Da-
vis's counsel, in which he said that he had, in
company with Governor Pratt had an inter-
view with President johnson in Washington
on Monday. He also stated that the Presi-
dent was very cautious in his remarks, and
gave the impression that there was but little
hope of Mr.. Davis being released upon bail
or parole in the event that he was not tried
by the United States Court.

WONG AeAINl

When the. polls closed in Char!estown
Township, on the fourth Thursday of May,
ono of the Commissioners stated that the
vote on the Constitutional Amendment stood
II for ratification, 4 for rejection, and 4
not voting on the question. Finding that
there we're sic men in our town who were
ready to make oath that they had voted
sgainst the amendment. when the poll-books
were taken before the township supervisor,
TO be certified, the vote for rejection was
just sic aud no more Eleven votes had been
cast for ratification; six for rejection, and
three lodged the issue. The books we're
then sent over to the county-seat, that the
Board of Supervisors might pass Judgment
upon them, and on Saturday last the Shep-
herdstOwn Register published the official
proceedings of this body which gives Charles;
town Township u votes for ratification, and
8 for rejection! Something rotten, if not in
Denmark, in Charlestown Township. Come
to the record, gentlemen, and let us have an
explanation Of this discrepancy. An in.
dignaut public demands it.
Since the above was written, one of the
conductors of the election in this township,
Samuel Rideuour, stated on the street, in our
hearing, that he was 'tposttivs!y certain" that
the vote in this township was II for, and 4
against the ratification, and 4 neutral. He
also stated that there was no "cheating" by
the conductors, but that there was ga lie out
among the voters" As Mr. Ridenour is suf
ficiently radical, and one of the II, he will
doubtless, find fes0 men to believe his state
ment. There is one thing as certain as day
that either there was Cheating by the
conductors, or ''lying by some of the voters
or little of both and the public will deter
mine for themselves who cheated or who
lied.

FEN1ANIsM.

Since our last issue, successful battle has
been fought by the Fenian forces in Canada,
after which the organization seems to have
come suddenly to grief Having defeated
the Canadians at Ridgway, the forces under
Col. O'Neill retired to Fort Erie, from whence
they attempted to cross to the American
shore, but were gobbled by the United States
steamer Michigan. The proclamation of the
President was then issued, which has resulted
in the arrest of Roberts, Sweeny, and other
leaders of the movement. This it is supposed
will terminate the Fenian furore for the
present at least.

LOCAL MISCELLANY.

DEATH OF AN EsTIMABLE LADY.-On
Friday morning last, at Walnut Grove, in
this county, departed the spirit of Mrs JULIA
YATES, relict of the late John Yates, who
had completed an earthly pilgrimage of more
than four score years, which long years
were expended in fruitful acts of benevolence
in full compliance with the commandment
that the left hand shall not know what
the right hand giveth. For the long period
of sixty years had this venerable lady been
resident of the county of Jefferson, and had
been witness of all the many changes which
had TRANSFERRED around her, in the lapse of so
many years, To her, life had its seasons of
enjoyment and its seasons of sorr0w-so mixed
and commingled is the cup ofhuman exist
ence. Blessed with an amiable and confiding
disposition possessed Of high moral and in

all who formed, in her protracted life time.

there was no ostentatious display no vain
parading of benevolent deeds, but all her
good works were done in the true spirit of
christian humility, and with childlike sim

that the counsel for Mr.. Davis would proba-

Ladies Concert for the Benefit Of the

Ladies Concert for the Benefit Of the
Christian Association. Brilliant and
successful, beyond any thing of tho kind
which has. ever been held in our town, was
the Concert for the benefit of the Charles.
to,on Christian Association held at the Scar
ter House" on Tuesday evening last From
its inception to its finale, this laudable
entertainment seems to have been in the
hands of those we'll calculated to give it
successful direction, and if any doubt were
ever entertained of the existence of a high
order of musical talent in our midst, the con-
cert alluded to must have removed every
scintilla ofsuch doubt, and established beyond
question the capacity of our native performers
To allude separately to each piece executed,
in Programme SO varied, would not only
require much more space than could be ex-
pected for a notice of such an entertainment,
but would be task requiring more thorough
knowledge of the musical art and higher
appreciation of its beauties than We can lay
claim to. With the concert as a whole we
were pleased, and of IL we write, not merely
to commend and applaud the. performances,
but with the hope of encouraging the young
| people of our town to cultivate such musical
gifts as Providence has bestowed upon them,
and to use them-as in this case-in the
promotion of an Association which has for
its object the moral, social and religious Gle
walton of the community. A spectacle more
grand-rising as it did to the very peaks of
sublimity not have been witnessed,
than that which presented itself at this
musical fete. At that concert were young
ladies of the highest culture and most delicate
refinement, who would shrink from any
public exhibition of their musical attainments,
but FOR the high moral principle which actuated
them on this occasion, and the unerring con-
seriousness that they were contributing to the
advancement of great auxiliary of the
christian church, faithful adjunct of
whatsoever is lovely and of good report .
May we not indulge the anticipation and
express the earnest hope that we may again
have the opportunity of witnessing such a
scene as greeted the vision and saluted the
ears of our people on Tuesday evening last,
in raising funds for other charitable and
benevolent purposes which are so constantly
appealing to our senses. The enclosure of
our desecrated burial places-the rehabili-
tation of bur destroyed churches-appeal to
us with sacred sadness, to think not only OF
the hUtng present, but to fix some lin gering
remembrance on the dead past, as we hope
to be remembered in the approaching and
perhaps not distant future.
