SURPRISING THE RECORD.

Two weeks ago we brought to light nefa-
rious transaction on the part of Joe Chapline
and his elastic associates, in the suppression of
t'co Of The resolutions passed at the Radical
Convention held at Shepherdstown few weeks
ago to nominate candidates for the Legislature
and for some of the local offices One Of these
resolutions approved the Congressional policy
of keeping the Union dissolved, and the other
denounced in harsh terms the Presidents policy
of Restoration and Union.
These two resolutions being distasteful to a
portion Of the party at Harper's Ferry We're
omitted from the proceedings as published Of
icially, and thus, as Justly charged, n mean
and contemplate fraud was practised by the
managers.
We suppose the same dodge viii be resorted
to in regard to the negro suffrage resolution
passed BY the Rump of the Southern Loyalists'
Convention at Philadelphia. 1t viii not be
promulgated in regions of the country hostile

Southern Radical Logic.

We might, if we deemed it of sufficient i'm
portance, lsays the Richmond TYAig) comment
at indefinite leugthupon theresolutions adopted
by the Convention Of Southern Radicals. One
Of these resolutions asSails the validity Of the
State Goyernmentsin the South. Itdeclares-
That the organizations in the unrepresented
States assuming to be State Governments.
not having been legally established, are not
q legitimate Governments until recognized by
Congress
This resolution admits theinvaTdity of West
Virginia as State. Ii Virginia has not de
climate Government she cannot exercise that
highest attribute Of sovereignty, which consists
in carving new State out of her territory
Her action in this affair was a usurpation. and
is null and void. For this resolution. which
treats West Virginia as a nonentity, Governor
Boreman, and other delegates from West Viz
ginia, voted, we are to presume, as their dissent
is nowhere recorded Thus, the now and aspi-
ring so-called State of West Virginia has been
fatally stabbed in the house Of its friends.

DIsGRACEFUL SCENE.

It was reserved for Indianapolis to exhibit,
in practical form, the brutality which has
been outcroppiug at severalof the points on the
Presidents route. The Disunion ruffians at
that point not only succeeded in driving the
President and his friends from the balcony
where he attempted to speak, but succeeded in
raising riot in the street, during which one
man was killed, and several seriously wounded.
There are thousands among the Radicals ma
fgnant enough to do the President personal
harm, and there are many of the leaders who
would rejoice at it, The rabble Of Indianapo-
lis are catching inspiration from Thad. Stevens,
who declared that d" they must get rid of the
man at the other end of the Avenue"

For the Free Press
AN HOUR IN PALESTINE.

In its issue of Sept 18th, the SPIRIT contains an
article under the above title crticsing the Lecture
and Exhibition given to the Christian Association
by the Rev. W. A. Barnes.
As the Lecturer gave part of the proceeds to the
Association, we think it neither kind nor courteous
in the Spjr to publish such an article, especially
when the criticism was incorrect.
We cannot see why the critic should object to the
Lecturer asking els my friend, Mr.. Neer, present.
Perhaps he was the only person in town with whom
Mr.. Barnes was acquainted, or to whom he could
look for aid in working his apparatus.
Critic alleges that the Astronomical Views pre-
sented few attractions to the general public This
is a reflection upon the public rather than Lecturer,
who had before published list of his pictures.
Critic complains that MOrdecal does not appear
when Esther approaches the King. He suggests
that perhaps he was behind the gate post We OBJ
serve that the gate post was not in the Palace.
Critic intimates that the Lecturer was not free
from exageratOn as when he spoke of the excessive
mourning Of the Jews. Had critic been acquainted
with Bible History he would have remembered that
the Egyptians wept for Jacob seventy days, and
he would have called to mind the cases of job and
others.
But list of few of his pictures will furnish the
best idea of the exhibition
The Solar System, showing revolution of all the
Planets with their Satellites around the Sun.
The Earths Annual Motion around the Sun.
The eccentric revolution Of Comet around the
Sun.
The various Eclipses of the Sun, with the transit
of Venus.
Views of Jerusalem and Vicinity.
Six views of the ruins of PersepOlis.
Temple of kalabsha.
Monastery of st Saba.
Sphynx and great Pyramid at Geezeh
Besides these many other views of interest were
exhibited.
The Lecturer has kindly consented to give an
exhibition in Kabetown, next Tuesday night, for
the benefit Of the Charlestown Baptist Church:

Fatal ARRAY.

An afiray occurred at Buckingham Court
house, Va, on Saturday last, between law
yer named James Leach and Anthony Walton
and his son, which resulted in the death of the
elder Walton and the mortal wounding of his
son. The affair grew out of charges Of crimi-
nal intimacy between the wife of the elder Wal
ton and Leach, the facts of which. however,
had been fully investigated by mutual friends
of both parties, and by them pronounced en-
tirely unfounded, and it was supposed by all
that the whole matter had been settled to the
satisfaction Of the Waltons. After the shoot
ing, Leach surrendered himself to the civil au-
thorities, and was tried and acquitted on the
spot This tragic affair has thrown gloom
over the community in which it occurred
The parties were highly respected.

The Effect of Philadelphia Radicalism

A correspondent of the Richmond Examiner
writes from Baltimore as follows:
The recent conduct of the radical officials
upop the visit Ct the President to Philadelphia
is at this time receiving its just reward in the
positive refusal of Southern merchants to 60
there for supplies. An instance was to-day
furnished of this fact, by the return to baltl-
more of a number of merchants of South - re-
lima, representing capital of one hundred
thousand dollars, who had intended to pur-
chase there, but were deferred from doing so
by the disgraceful and dastardly action of the
municipal authorities, when the city was hon
ored by the presence of the Chief Magistrate.
This threw quite large share of cash into our
merchants hands, and it is to be hoped they
will improve such and similar circumstances.

Bolts ON THE SURFACE.

Referring. last week, to the so-called South
ern Loyalists' Convention" which had been for
several days frctting and Tuning in Philadel-
phia, we stated that John NJ Bolts had not yet
come TO the surface.
We might have been sure it would not be
long before he appeared in the troubled waters,
being the only delegate from CuIpeper, aud
selfappointed at that Accordingly, after ma
king furious speech against President john
son, at an Informal meeting, and berating him
for being once tailor, Mr.. Bolts turned up as
the presiding officer of a fragmentary COnven-
ton Of Ultras, after Ex-Attorney General Speed
had deserted his post
It seems that the Convention Of Southeners,
whichincluded members from the Border States
did not come up to the point on the question
ofnegro suffrage. and this excited the indigna-
ton not only Of Anna Dickinson and Fred.
Douglas, but of some sixty Ultras claiming to
be representatives of the Southern States.-
They were for negro suffrage fat-foOted, and
considered the Northern Radicals as contemp-
tible towards who were afraid to " face the
music
A Captain Tourgee, Of whom nobody ever
heard before, claimed to represent North Caro-
lima, and was vociferous Goodloe, Saffold and
Bolts were opposed to the negro suffrage issue
at present, and this enraged the ire-eaters-
ono ,r ,ll,, Jo.l,~oJ th,+ IS tbo pol,,ls 4; L not
allow the negroes to VOTE a million of loyal
men in the North would enforce the privilege.
Bryant, claiming to be from Georgia, proclaim
ed that four millions of black men in the South
would help. Bolts in the chair all the while,
but unable to control the noisy babblers.
During this tumult, as announced by For
ney's paper, Fred Douglas and lady entered
the hail. and were received with enthusiastic
cheers
And here we left John N. Bolts.

Bolts on the Tailors.

John NJ. Bolts, who figured at the Negroite
Convention in Philadelphia, seemed to forget
that in most cases the tailor makes the man
He allowed himself to sheer at the trade in
which probably two thousand genteel men in
the city of Brotherly Love are engaged.
After berating President johnson in terms
quite agreeable to the motley assembly, he fam
cied that be had reached the climax Of denun-
citation when, discoursingo on dignity, hedeclared
that Mr.. johnson was not President, he was
only tailor
Very sarcastic, indeed; but there is one thing
President johnson can do; whenever he hears
kissing, he knows how to handle goose, and
how most eflectually to sew up the mouths OF
vulgar bablers, few of whom he met on the
route to Chicago.-Sunddy Herald.

Killed.

The up train on the Virginia Central Rail
road, on Tuesday week, when near Hanover
Court-HouSe, ran over and instantly killed a
negro boy named Charlie. The boy was sent
ont TO watch some stock, and while so engaged
lay down on the track, and went to sleep with
his head across the rail. Failing towake at the
alarm signal of the engineer, his head was COM
pletely severed from the body, being cut of
close to the shoulders, and rolling down the
embankment.

Registration Suits.

Samuel Gore and William Ensor have en-
tered suits in our county court against MeSsrs.
VIM Mccullough, Charles Burke and Jacob
B. Wilhelm, Registers of voters in the Sixth
district for 1865. The suits are understood to
have grown out of the refusal of the Registers
to enrol the names of Messrs. Gore and Ensor
as qualified voters. Benjamin n. Payne, OF
this town, has a similar suit against General
Sheppard c. Leakin, DR.. J. Robert Ward and
Edwin l.. Parker, late Registers for the Ninth
Observation-Disclosures County Union.
Suits similar to the above, are talked of in
this County, against the County Board of Reg
istration for excluding, as alleged, names that
had been registered in the Townships, from the
list of registered voters, without proof of dis
loyalty or disqualification.
