ABUSE OF THE PREsIDENr

The oficeot President Of the United States
is one which the people of this country, with
some rare individual exceptions, have re-
garded with so much respect that the man
who filed it was to be free from personal abuse
and insult. But large portion of the north
ern masses, and the few Southern ''loyalists, :"
seem to have gone mad-to have sunk all re-
spect for themselves and their country. Es>
pecially is this the case with the radicals of
Cleveland, Ohio. When Mr. johnson reached
that city, on his route to Chicago, and while
he was speaking to the immense crowd which
had gathered to welcome him, he was fire..
quently most grossly insulted by numbers of
the malignant blackguards, who seemed to be
the radical leaders in that place. This treat
ment does no harm to the President-rather,
indeed, bringing to his side the decency and
dignity of the people but it tells bad tale
for those who were the guilty actors as we'll
as for municipal authorities who quietly al
lowed the scoundrels to go unwhipt of jus
tice.

RADICAL OPINION.

We heard one of the most intelligent of
our radicals. the other day, gravely argue that
none of US who sided with our State in the
late contest had any reason TO complain of the
treatment We received at the hands of the Off
GERS of West Virginia. He thought it was
nero matter of moonshine," to be deprived
of citizenship-the right to vote, the power
to hold Office, the means of suing our Union
debtors for what they Justly owe US, the right
to serve as jurors, the right of having our own
selected lawyers to try our causes, and the
many other rights which we formerly pos
sessed. He thought ire had no cause to
complain Of the mean theft of our county by
Borenian nor of the refusal of Congress to
allow US representation in the government of
the country. This man was in sober earnest.
ness of speech. We had been guilty of obey
ing our State, when We had to choose between
obedience to it and obedience to the Repub-
ican party that then controlled the govern
inent of the Union, and We deserved no re-
coguition at the hanSr of the authorities, eth
er national or State-deserved the outlaTry
which West Virginia has put upon us, and
had no right to murmur at our lot: and vet
this same man deemed 1T most monstrous
outrage that those of us who were thus dis
franchised and Outlawed should refuse to deal
at the stores of the radicals, and to stand aloof
from them in all business and social relations.
lie is in favor of compelling us all, by law, to
deal only with his people. He asserts that it
is the solemn duty of the Legislature to refuse
license to all merchants and business men
who cannot or will not take the test oath, Just
as ithas done to the lawyers. This man is,
doubtless, but speaking the general sentiment
of his party brethren and his expressions of
opinion as to what the Legislature ought to
do are indications of what they are determined
the Legislature shall d. in the event of the
elections going their way this Fall We have
heard of this threat before and will not be
surprised, in the least, to find the radicals at
tempting to carry it out. When they do, will
1t be longera virtue in US to be patient?

The Governor has addressed communion
ton to the Supreme Court of the United
States, stating that, in pursuance of an Act
passed by the General Assembly on the Ist
OF March, 1866, ''to provide forthe assertion
of the rights of this Commonwealth to iuris-
dlction over the counties of Jefferson and
berkeley, he has retained the Hon. B. r.
curtis, OF. boston, as COUNSEL in behalf of the
State of Virginia; aud he has also, in a sim
liar communication, stated that he had re !,

county, as counsel for the State under the
same act.

duties imposed upon him by the Virginia
Legislature, in March last, has taken the ne.
cessary steps to bring the question before the
Supreme Court of the United States.
We are pleased to know, also, that Attor.

visit in connection with this case, is earnestly

THE BALTIMoRR MARKErs

Sales of Flour on Saturday were confined
principally to good Super, which ranged $40
to slO.25; Welsh's Family sold at SIS, and
High grade Extra at s1425. Wheat was
in better supply, 5000 bushels white aud s.
600 bushels red; choice lots, suitable for
seed, are bringing rates much above what
millers are paying; there was one sale of very
choice red at 1925 other sales reported were
of white, 454 bushels at S3.l5; 800 do. at
1885; of red, $40 bushels at 81. so to 1915.
and 1850 bushels at s2.77 to $3.50. Corn
was lower, receipts were 6,125 bushels white
and $50 bushels yellow, sales of white were
$500 bushels at 95 cents, and lGo at 90
cents; yellow was entirely neglected, one lot
of G, 900 bushels, held over, was offered, with
out finding purchaser. Oats were firm, but
the demand was not active, receipts $3.50
bushels with sales of 1 500 bushels at Al to
40 CENTS and 300 BUSHELS interior at 44-cents
OF Rye receipts were 704 bushels, and sales
so bushels at 80 cents.

THE COUNTY sRAr

We hear that the county officials are en-
gagged in the erection ola county Jail over at
Shepherdstown. Among the many outrages
committed by the radical party against the
people of Jefferson, there is none meaner than
this taking the county seat away from the
centre of the county and locating it on its
extreme Northern edge-almost over in Ma
ryland. The present location is not only I'M
suitable in point of location, but on account
OF the want of good roads leading to it-for
with the exception of that leading to Smith
field, there is no decent road in that section
OF the county; and the people of the Ferry,
OF this town, of Kabletown, indeed more than
two>thirds of the people have to trudgc miles
and miles over rocky roads only relieved by
mud holes. The radicals know that the cit
lzens OF Jefferson will not permit the county
seat to be permanent fixture at Shepherds
town, and yet, in defiance of the known wishes
OF vast majority of the voters and taxpayers.
and IN defiance of the commonest Justice,
they are erecting public buildings in that
town, at very heavy expense to the people
We call upon the voters of all parties. con-
servative and radical, to put their foot down
on any further expenditure of the county
funds for this purpose and to insist that the
comfy seat be brought back to Charlestown
