General Northcstt-W wheeling Intelii-

GeneraI NOIIuCOtt-"u CVIluS AhsOh
Xencers
The following scurrilons article ap'
peared in the Wheeling Inteligencer Of
last Saturday;
"GEN. R. s. NoRTHCoTT, Postmaster
at Clarksburg, announces himself
through his paper this week, as q candi'
date for Congress from this district, in
opposition to MIR. Hubbard. We infer
from the wording of the announcement
that he does not expect to 60 before
convention, but intends to run on his
own hook.
We notice in this connection that the
ancient and indefatigable Mr.. Toots con-
tinues to adorn the columns of the TEL
eqraph, and advocates General North
colts claims with a charming disinter-
estedness. We assure the gentle Toots
that discriminating public have very
high appreciation of his ingenious
epistles."
Now, in regard as to whether General
Northcott intends to submit his claims
to a Convention, we suppose if the ed
itors of the IntclHgencer will possess
their souls in patience they will prob.
ably find out by the first of November.
We see from the tone and temper of
the Wheeling Inteligencer, that General
Northcott's announcing himself as a can
didate without consulting the will and
wishes of certain parties about Wheel
ing is considered an objectionable Of
fence. and one that cannot be tolerated
by The men who preside over the ed
itoral departm ut of the Intelligencer.

AS To- the in, mutations that General
Northcptt procr red the writing of the
communication which appeared in the
Telegraph last week over the signature of
L., nothing con d be more false The
senior editor of 10 Intelligencer can have
his name whenever he demands it. But
he prefers not demanding it, but would
rather deal in destinations against Gen.
eral Northcott Now, we desire no news

that paper woull conduct a controversy
fairly, we would not object to it, but it
always stoops to personal assaults, and
is fond If recrinlinations, of which We
are noa, A bandying of epithets we
never induige in. We regard it as de-

And now Mr.. Editor Inteliigencer =, let

COUNTERFEIT GREENBAcKs-How MANY?
The amount Of counterfeit greenbacks in
circulation is estimated at $4,000. This,
however, is only conjecture. The exact
amount is not known, since couaterfeters
keep their paper money printing presses run.
ming almost as regular as Government runs
its machines. At one time it was confidently
asserted that greenback ink and paper could
not be initiated; but now only the closest
scrutiny BY experts can detect the simulated
money. Mr.. Spinner himself, has been, on
different occasions, sorely perplexed to know
which was the genuine. 1t has also been re-.
ported that two per cent. of the fractional
currency was counterfeit;but the amount must
be much larger, if ones observation is good
for anything. This would give $52O,0oO
loss on $26, 10000 of small change curren'
cy issued by Government, making a grand
total Of 81, ,270,Oo0 Of bogus United States
