The Municipal Ticket.

The Democratic ticket for municipal
officers may he found in our columns
this morning. We believe it will meet
with the general appreciation of the
voters. and be triumphantly elected IN
January. As may be seen, many OF the
present officers are re-nOminated. The
rrsult shows the estimation III which
the people hold those who have served
them faithfully and well, and must
be extremely gratifying to the recipi-
ents of these marks of public favor.
II only remains now Tor the DEM
ocratic and conservative citizens OF
Wheeling to enter upon the work OF the
campaign sactively and earnestly and
secure, by the election Of these men, the
continuance of good municipal govern
mcnt. We are all aware that despe-
rate effort will be made by the radicals
TO regain their lost ascendancy
in this city, but we are also
aware that, if we do our duty
70 ourselves and our fellow-citi-
zens. we can bury radicalism still deep
.r than il now lies under the condemna-
tion of our people. Let us make Wig
oroUs effort ard roll up larger major
ity in favor of good government and
the political principles for which we
contend than any that has heretofore
crowned our e1ertions.

TIL. Co.,eI According TO Congre..

Not content with embodying stump
speeches" in his prayers to the Almighty
every morning, the Chaplain of the
House of Representatives improves the
occasion" offered by his Sunday dis
course 10 harangue his few hearers upon
topics purely political. A dispatch
from Washington City states that, last
Sunday, this clerical politician "preached
a sermon, demanding the Immediate
punishment of leading rebels"
1t ia said by some of the "Oldest in
hahitants" that, in days long past, II
was supposed to lie the duty OF the
Chaplain of either House of Congress to
prav for the souls of the men who were
assembled there, and to labor to lead
them to practice the peaceful and mer-
ciful principles of the Christian reilg-
ion. 1t is also related by tradition
that these Chaplxins were themselves
God-frarinC men and that they "remem-
bcrcd the Sabbath day to keep it holy"
OF course this was long while ago
and We only refer to it to show how be-
uighted our ancestors were and what
strange ideas of Christianity prevailed
before the party of "grcat moral ideas
undertook to run the Congress and
the churches.

Duel i'm the Dark-BIoody Rencsn-
tire in n Baggage Car-Two Wen As
sauIt Each Other with Knives and
Pi.fola-Rofh Horribly Lacerated.

We are informed that on Saturday
night last a bloody rencontre took place
between two men in the baggage car of
a passenger train OH the Nashville and
Decatur railroad. The difficulty started
in a passenger coach, and was the result
of dispute in regard to the quality of
the whisky each carried. Both were
probably more or less intoxicated.
The conductor ordered them to leave
the car if they wanted to settle the mat
ter, and not to be disturbing the balance
of the passengers.
The two then repaired to the baggage
car, and after pacing off the proper dis
tance wheeled, and at given signal
fired their pistols. Neither Of them ap-
peared to be hurt after the shots.
At that moment the only light in the
car, which shone from lantern held by
the person who gave the signal, went
out suddenly, and the duelists then
grasped their knives and sprang upon
each other like tigers, cutting and slash
ing at a fearful rate. They are both
probably dead, or if living terribly lacer-
ated.
Our informant did not learn the result
of the affair, OF the names of the parties.
The noise of the swiftly-moving train
deadened the sound of the bloody con-
fiict, and it is probable that very little
is known about it.-Nashrille Banner.

She left her bonnet and shoes at her
bedside and must have gone barefooted,
which leads many to suppose that she
has committed suicide by drowning.
She is of a respectable family, many of
her relatives living near Corydon.
Some days ago meeting at Williams
burg, Va, adopted some resolutions call
ing for State Convention to revise the
constitution with . view to the relief of
debtors. The Richmond Examiner de-
nounces the movement as step toward
reputation, and says of the resolu-
tions:
1--WE would hardly be willing to pub
lish such a farrago of jargon, vicious
doctrine, and generally incOmprehensi-
BILE muddle even as n paid advertise
ment. We stipulated with our subscri-
bers to furnish them with readable mat
ter, and we have not yet learned the
Williamsburg doctrine that contracts
are released by bad government

Tho T.., Oath Uncon.titu.ionaI.

IL authoritatively stated that the Su-
premc Court of the United States has
decided the Attorneys Test Oath, enact
ed 10y Congress III lob2, unconstitution-
al. Attorneys have been admitted to
practise in the Supreme Court at its
present session without taking any 9TH
or oath than the former one, which SIM
ply required allegiance TO the constitu-
tion, and, it was thought that
the decision in relation TO the test
oath would he pronounced on Mon
day (yesterday,) if Judge GREER,
who has been seriously i'll of late, were
able to he upon the bench. The decls-
ion will probably upset the whole sys-
TEN of test oaths, whether for lawyers,
school teachers or voters, by means OF
which the radicals here and elsewhere
have wrought so much wrong. The
various test oaths in vogue in this State
are all framed upon the model which the
Supreme Court has decided to be in vio-
la,ion of the fundamental law of the
land.
We will endeavor to furnish our read
ers with the full text of the opinion OF
the Court AS soon as it comes to hand.

x., u.rri.ou,. Preeon.uI.hip.

The notorious individual whose name
heads this article is infamous as the alb
solute ruler and regulator of civil and
,olitical affairs in the Ninth Judicial
Circuit. The counties of Monroe, Green
brier. Pocahontas, Mercer and Mellow
ell constitute his domiuions. They
were erected into kind of kingdom for
his sole use and benefit by his Omnipo-
tence, Governor FOREMAN, and were
transferred to the custody of HARRISON
without condition or reservation. A
similar transaction in the empire mar.
ket was attempted about eighteen hun
dred years ago. An illustrious proto-
type of Governor FOREMAN then made
a fruitless effort to exchange the
kingdoms of this world for the
homage of One of whom we al
ways speak with reverence. Would
that HARRISON had possessed the moral
honesty to repeat the rebuke Get thee
behind me Satan" Being unable to
"resist the devil" he yielded to his Sc
duetiye offers; the barter was effected :
FOREMAN acquired tool, and HAIR
RIsoN proconsulship.

full and circumstantial account of some
recent transactions Of interest in Monroe

ions. We are glad to be able to
Lay before our readers q complete

and reliable statement of the condition
of current affairs in that county. The
shooting of SHIREY, the accidental
wounding of negro boy, the imaginary
plot for HARRIsoN's assassination, the
acquittal of NEwLIN, and the introduc-
ton of United States troops to preserve
n peace which nobody threatens, are
points to which the article in question
refers in q plain but forcible manner.
We offer it as complete refutation of
NEwLIN's version of his own bloody
act-a version published in yes
terday mornings Mt,Uigencer. The ar
ticle we give is the production of a
truthful and disinterested man, and its
correctness is endorsed by the best and
most respectable citizens of hat Sec
tion. By candid persons, it will GER
tainly be received with as much favor
as the unsupported statement OF man
whose hands are red with the blood of
innocence, and whose conscience is bur-
dened with the guilt of an attempt to
take the life Of a fellow-man. That CY-
RUS NEwLIN is innocent there is no room
to believe. The action of the Radical
Grand Jury in refusing to hear the tes-
timony of his accusers, is primd Jacie
evidence of his guilt, and this evidence
is confirmed by his own indecent con-
duet in Fastening to his own defense,
and attempting the public deception by
the anonymous publication of yindi-
cation of which he himself is the author.
The clear and consistent narration
which we publish finally fastens the
shooting of SIIIREY upon NEwLIN and we
have no hesitation in saying that moral
ly, HARRIsoN's Prosecuting Attorney
cannot be held guiltless. There are
many other matters of interest which
this communication relieves of doubt
and obscurity, and we chcerfully COM
mend it to the careful perusal of our
readers.

Ratfnu Sensation in Illinois-Ncw
Way Of Developing the Calf Of the
From the Aurora Qll.) Herald. !


As funeral procession, accompanied
by the members of lodge of German
Odd Fellows, in full dress, and band
of music, were passing the play grounds
of our East Side public school, q few
days since, during the recess, large
number of the students, old and young,
attracted by the music and display,
went down near the procession To wit
ness the proceedings, while the teach
ers surveyed the affair from the school
house windows.
Now. it appears that there is boun-
dary line established somewhere on
those school-house Fairgrounds over
which, if a student goes during school
hours, Il punishment is the result. AT
the close of the recess the scholars were
examined in relation to their knowl-
edge of this rule, and those so untor-
tunate as to be unaware of the exist
ence of such a regulation were arraiSn-
for puni shment, and whipped, under
the superintendcnce of the principal,
the assistants in the various rooms ad-
ministering the logging i'll their several
departments.
Young ladies, who have pridcd them
selves throughout their school days on
obeying the rules of school heretofore,
held ont their hands, received the
Iashlng, went home and humiliatingly
confessed that they had been
whipped; while many of the younger
girls were compelled to raise the
skirts of their dresses, while the teach
ers whipped them on the calves Of their
legs. And so the majesty of the law
was vindicated, and the students will
know the boundary lines of the play
grounds at the East school forever.

An exciting case of scandal has turn
up at indianapolis, involving the repu-
tation of two parties who have been
permanently connected with the most
aristocratic church in that city. The
man in the affair is young lawyer, at
tractive and brilliant, and noted for his
piety as shining light in the Young
Mems Christian Association. The female
party is on the shady side of forty, good
looking, and left Boston several years
since with heart gushing with scheme
for the amelioration Of the human race.
After teaching music she married, and,
in the course of human events, dressed
in black. She married again, but SIC
cumbed to the wiles Of the gay deceiyer.
1t was at social party that the soul
thrilling eyes Of young man led her TO
enter upon a career of guilty intimacy.
The lady was rich, and the young man
had no delicacy in taking large sums Of
money from her. But a lovers quarrel
terminated at last in his marriage TO q
beautiful and accomplished young lady
Of Ohio. The two, however, in due
time met again, were reunited, and re-
sumed their criminal intercourse. The
young man then yearned for the lady's
estate, and she consented to convert her
worldly goods into cash. She gave her
paramour legal power to enable him to
handle her property, but at this point
an explosion came, and their names are
in every lady's mouth. West Chapel,
in indianapolis, is in an uproar, and one
light NO longer shines IN the Young Mems
Christian Association.

A TOUCHING INCIDENT.-One OF the
most touching and affecting incidents
we have witnessed in long time, oc-
Cured last evening, on Second street,
below jefferson. 1t seems that when
the Federal army invaded Virginia,
among the number of negroes that were
stolen from the people were several be-
longing to the family of our worthy fel-
low-citizen, DR.. o. r. Early. The poor
negroes wandered here and there, buf-
fetted by the fate of war into the very
Jaws of misery. A short time ago two of
the party-women-learned that the
doctor was in Memphis, and thither
they made their way, to receive that
kindness from him which he had always
shown them. They had been treated
badly by the Yankees, like all the rest
of the negroes have been, and their
hearts yearned to meet with their young
master once more. So they started for
Memphis.
They reached here yesterday, and ask
ed everywhere for their old master; they
finally came to inquire of a crowd
standing on Second Street near the gas
Office, and while they were asking, the
doctor recognized them. The poor wo-
men were perfectly mad with joy; they
shook hands until the tears came from
their eyes--they told their troubles and
how badly the Yankees had treated
them. Doctor Early was very much
affected, and like q true Southern gem
tlemen, he told them that they were all
home now-they should want for moth
ing, and that they were welcome to
anything he had.-Aberdeen Miss
Sunnu .SOutb
